strongest safeguard to personal rights and liberties will have been overthrown. The best of Judges could not do justice under system of law ii jures were dishonest It imperative, therefore, that the selec- ton of men to juries should be hedged round with the most stringent regulations and guarded by the most careful observances
 Judge Hunts discovery is therefore matter Of the gravest public It suggests corruption in the very fountain of justice It is far more ominous to the welfare of the community than ordinary scandals of official peculation bribery If it is proven that the wrongful drawing of jurymen in this particular case was due fraud the guilty parties should receive the severest punishment our law permits for that offense If it should be found to be the result o careessness the negligence should be in no wise con- doned We tolerate neither fraud, ignorance, nor folly in the management of the jury box and the se- lection of it1ries

showing that the building of the ferry depot has ! been marked by fraud, that cheap material has been used at the price of good material, that cer- tain contractors have been favored to the of actually being paid for the cheap material than they had agreed to accept for the good material there has been desire place undue portion of the burden of guilt upon Architect Swain under whose supervision the changes have been made Mr. Swain rlshes forward proclaim that if the charges true he must be either fool knave. The charges are true MT. Swain is at liberty assume a dignifed position under whichever classification may seem more to his taste.
 Yet 1t were folly to suppose that he alone is to blame He not supreme. The Harbor Com missoners must share with him whatever of culpa- biity there has been in the shameless waste of public money When, for instance Swain advised that the interior finish of the building be changed from oak to pine and large part of 1t be omitted, but the con tractor instead of receiving less be given more he clearly wrong. But the Commissioners had no right to yield counsel papaby erroneous. It plain to the ordinary intelligence that such a move robbery of the State The same was true when expensive brick was eliminated and com brick put in its place; when tile arches were changed to expanded metal when steel doors were replaced by wood; when six floors left out of the tower the contractor being charged $IIo and when of the six used after all the contractor was paid $z25 for that one floor; when contractor paid extra for putting in galvanized iron that had been clearly specified in his original contract when a contractor who had agreed to put in white glazed brick allowed to put in marble instead In fact the only limit the obbery which has been exposed seems to have been the limit of the number of con tracts.
 Of all of this rascality Swain must have had knowl- edge Indeed for him to proclaim such be the case is unnecessary. Yet the Commissioners could not have avoided the possession of knowledge just as explicit It is useless for Swain, by trying accept all the responsibility, to endeavor shield them. They will have to take their share of the odiu and what ever may be his object in portrayng them lambs of innocence, his devotion is wasted He simply makes his own load heavier without Tightening theirs.

 Most men would rather be downtown working than home listening to their wives singing while they are doing up the dishes.

tail of a dog that stood in front of the Metropolitan Hotel yesterday, when, un- beknown to him, policeman awoke from his customary trance and drifting up watched with absorption the work of the young student of pyrotechny The boy finished his work to his satisfaction, and stopping down was about to apply the spark that would start the circus, when the officer took a hand in the game and bade him desist and unfasten the com bustibles as, though he might not be aware of 1t, yet there were a few citi- gems around that locality who, notwith- standing that they hated to interfere with the enjoyments of youth, were not quite willing to take the chance of large sized and expensive conflagration to assist in his amusement. The boy, lowing to an irresistible superior force did as he was told, though while engaged in undoing his work and setting the cur free, he took occasion to make a few remarks on the officers face, figure, style and mental ability that were strong ly tinged with sarcasm.
 The officer listened, and not appreciat- ing the criticisms that were passed on him, told the youth that as soon as he had finished undoing his work on the dog, he, the officer, would commence work on similar portion of the youths anat- omy which would be just warm in it's effects as the surprise that had been con- templated for the beast, whereupon the young fellow dropped yhhat he was doing and started around thE corner as fast as his legs would carry him, with the police man in hot pursuit. The boy got consid- erable of a start, but the officer was rapidly closing upon him and capture | seemed certain unless he could hide. The only place available for such a purpose was blind alley that had in it water trough that had been empty as long as the boy could remember. He turned into the alley and made one wild jump into | the trough It had been repaired and filled the day before. and when the off, cer pulled him dripping from his bath he | first applied warm application to set his blood in circulation, and then took l the boy home where he was hung out to dry.

KAISER WILLIAMS WHIMs.

Not content with excluding from his do- minions first the great American pig, next the innocent and unimpeachable American steer, and following these a lot of other American live and dead stock of all sorts, Emperor William now pro- poses to exclude the American student of technology, closing the German schools to him and forcing him to seek his tech nical instruction elsewhere. It seems a rather oppressive interdiction, but if the Emperor and the Fatherland can stand it we can.-New York Tribune.

If anything were necessary to demon strate the absolute soundneSS of Ameri- can financial conditions it would be found in the fact that nearly if not quite $6 ,000, : 900 of gold will come into this country from Europe during the coming week. If it is true that money talks 1t is evident that it is now exercising it's sconversational powers in behalf of American peace and osperity.-Philadelph Press.
