AS q matter of fact Ell Paso has no de-
sira to be the capital of any state what

not a dozen people here outside of the
class of professional politicians
who want the city to be made state
capital. At the same time we believe,
as we have before said, that it would
be to the advantage of Ell Paso,
the southern portion Of New Mexico,

1T Is very generally conceded that
it is the tipping habit which makes
the abuse of spirituous liquors in this
country SO terrible. and 30 hard to
reach. In other countries the prac-
tice is limited, and drunkenness is
rarer than it is here. By drunkenness
we do not mean only the Keeling
drunken condition which affects
tramps and outcasts. There are a good
many men who are SO thoroughly sa-
turated with the poisonous
stuff that they are really drunk all the
time, but they do not often give up to
the effects of the liquor and go to sleep
in the gutter. But the tipping-if it
were possible for q man to 60 into q
saloon and order a drink when he
wanted it, or felt the need of it, with
out being called upon to stand up at
the bar and drink until he was fairly
crazed, all on account of the
fancied demands of friendship,
then would the problem be greatly
simplified. The abuse is we'll

A Premium Upon Ignorance
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Generally speaking, the American
people are firm believers in the jury
system. The right of trial by jury mas
so long been regarded as second only to
personal freedom that every sugges-
system is stoutly resisted
by many persons. But lat
terly so many abuses have sprung up
In the trying of cases before such bo-
dies that more that one protest has
been made, and it appears that. the
number of these ia increasing. The
Pottsville Chronicle is the latest state
newspaper to file an objection. It
sayg; ,,
telligent men Cd juries? Yesterday
and the men who displayed any intel
igence-who had read about
with the facts as presented in
the newspapers-were not wanted.
Men who had read of the case and who
had formed opinions, but whose opin-
ions could be changed by evidence.
we're also stood aside. The men who
had neither read nor heard of the
accepted in preference to those who
did read"
This Is unfortunately the rule almost
every where. So marked has it become,
indeed, that the men are not few who
beg the favor of trial by Judge in
preference to submitting their claims
to jury in cases admitting of such
opportunity. The present custom
of rejecting men who have read the
history of crimes is nothing more than
the placing of q premium
upon ignorance. No man, whether in
telligent or ignorant, who has made up
his n'ind irrevocably rs to the guilt or
innocence of an accused person should
be admitted to q jury, because his ad-
mission of such determination is mere
ly confession that he would not weigh
the evidence; but this fact ought not to
be allowed to bar men who, having
read the accounts, manfully declare
that they will try the issue impartially
In several western cities, and, in
deed. in some in the east, sentiment
against ignorant juries has become so
strong that recently there has been q
departure from the old custom and
jurors of a higher order were accepted.
That should be the rule everywhere.
Trial by jury is here to stay but it may
be changed without in the slightest de-
gree imperilingsany of the liberties
which it is intended to guard.
