THE JURY BOX SCANDAL.

JUDGE HUNTS discovery of malpractice in the o selection of iurymen to in his court is one V of the most serious events of the day in this city. It IS hardly possible that such violation of the law that which the Judge detected could have been committed unntentionally It has none of the signs of clerical It looks like the result of de-
 berately planned scheme and raises suspicion that stuffed juries may not be uncommon in our courts
 It is impossible overrate the menace to property this violation of the law regulating the selection of jures. In the discovered by Judge Hunt less than three found to have been drawn on single jury whose names not the original list presented by the Judge Since this has been done in instance 1t is an inevitable suppostion that it has occurred before. The citizens there fore confronted by the possibility that their interests in the courts not in the hands of juries mpar- tally chosen, but are subject to the will of men se- lccted for the purpose of deciding against them.
 The value of an impartial jury under system oi laws is well understood. From time immemorial the jury box has been spoken of the palladium o Anglo-Saxon liberty One of the great English Judges declared that all the struggles of the people of that country for liberty all their civil wars, all their acts of Parliament, all their efforts of every kind for the maintenance of society, culnlinated in bringing twelve honest men into jury box. With out impartality and honesty in that box all the rest of the skillfully devised system for guarding the rights of citizens would be worth nothing.

We've given two boys to our country; one s sleepin' in ol' Tennessee, An t'other one fell in Vrginny, when Grant was fightin' with Lee, An though the two blows nearly killed us, what comfort we drew from the thought That both of em perished fghtin' fur the flag fur which Washington fought. An when the good Lord in His kindness sent twins fur to bless us, we said He surely had done it in mercy in place of the two that was dead, An as we have watched em growin' to man. hood it softened the blow, But now if they're gettin the notion. reckon they'll both have to go We're both of us nigh onto ninety; we're mighty near finished the race, An if the two boys should be m!ssn coudn t look after the place, But safe in the bank in the city we've got quite a snug pile, An so if they go to the battle we'll let the farm rest fur while.

THE LAW AND THE DOPE FIEND

HERE are many places in this city where
 opium smoking by white and white
 is carried on in manner almost public. These places are well known to the police No difficulty is experienced in finding them, for there is little or noN corcealment about them. The police enter them freely and the inmates hardly disturbed in their dreams by the coming of the officers The fends know the law and they laugh in the face of those who try to enforce It.
 The of the failure of the law in this case is the excessive reverence for technicaes by the courts of the city. Sergeant Martin of the police when asked why the opium dens had the boldness to operate openly answered.
 "Why? Because the law says that the offense con- sists not in smoking opium but in buying and smok ing 1t III the same place. So if we do not see the victim buy the opium and smoke the same particle which he bought 1t is impossible to secure convc- tion We have even hired men to go to places and buy the drug and have then lost the case because there doubt in the minds of those trying it whether the opium we the defendant smoking the she'll or load of the drug which he bought. The law is technically absurd that it could not have been for the police if 1t had been drafted by the propretors of the opium joints themselves
 That is the situation in this city to-day in the contest between the law and the dope iend The law is noble, impressive majestic figure clothed in the robes of authority and supported by the wealth of the State The dope fend is sinking bear-eyed creature whose soul hardly any other function than that of keeping his carcass from decay whose clothing IS little better than the covering of scare crow, and who IS supported generally by the scanty earnings of degraded womanhood and yet the dope iend IS stronger than the law and will remain so as long as law IS matter of techncalities rather than of reason and common sense

SHIPS THAT DON'T PASS.

TT is no longer the custom believe anything the Examiner may say, and yet the possibility ot Its stumbling upon the truth must be recognized, even ii remote Thursday 1t presented illustrations o seven ships which it labeled Some of the Formidable Vessels in Spain's Navy
 As people are cherishing wicked hope that such naval force as Spain may possess will shortly be blown out of the water, they took unwarrantable interest n looking at the array of hostile craft tor getting the Examiner habit of ignoring fact. Here seemed to be point concerning which 1t would have no object in lying unless from mere love ot it.
 Of the seven vessels before whose invading prows the populace is to flee far nshore two belong to Brazil and a third is building in France for the same country. The fourth IS a partly completed Chilean torpedo gunboat the fifth and sixth are Norwegian and the seventh is fancy, there being such ship afoat in process of construction of record in marine annals.
 The ordinary citizen does not know much about the navies of other nations, but it would take bet ter authority than the Mission street purveyor of secondhand freaks to make him think Spain ever named ship "Torkensjold" "Haarfagre." The Castian flavor seems to be absent from both titles It was this fact which excited suspicion and led to the discovery that into picture five columns wide the queer sheet had crowded lie reaching from South America to the Scandinavian peninsula.

How the toddling miss with her dolls and blockhouses won his heart, how in the early days she held him fast with notes printed in great big plotted capital letters, how as a young girl she forged more stoutly the links and how he almost lost her after fourteen years of constant, patient waiting will be told in

SUNDAYS CALL.


 SUNDAYS CALL.
 twenty-five years ago a woman was murdered by very wealthy rancher The crime created tremendous excite ment. Vigorous efforts were made by citizens to lynch the murderer, but in the midst of the popular excitement the officers of the law succeeded in smuggling him into another county. He was regularly tried and condemned to San Quentin for life But he was rich and influential, and on the day the Su- preme Court decided that he had no hope for his freedom in this life he walked out of jail. On the edge of the town he disappeared as though the earth had swallowed him up. Not a trace of him could afterward be found. though the officers of the law hunted high and low for him and a big price was set upon his capture.
 The most extraordinary part of this remarkable story has just occurred. The escaped murderer has just been discovered quietly living in well-fitted up cave in the Sierras. He is well dressed, has plenty of money and lives very comfortably.
 The exceedingly strange manner in which he was accidentally discovered by an old acquaintance, what was said, who was with him in the secret cave and what he is doing is fully told in NEXT SUNDAYS CALL.
 Old Mars is stalking about rather ,truculently of late. Suppose he suc- ceeded in stirring up just an inter- change of shots. Did you ever stop to figure out what a few minutes real fighting would cost this country, say in war with Spain? The country is not paying for ordinary Fourth of July fireworks by any means when the long blue lines deploy and the big rifled cannon begin to roar. Those same big rifled cannon swallow notes, currency,
