The question of the Negroes jury rig ts
and privileges Is one that has arisen in
Ell PasO and all over the state. Judge
Allen of Houston has received q petit
ton signed with three hundred names
of substantial and well known negro
citizens of Harris county, praying that
negro be put on the jury commission,
or If that may not be. that list OF re-
sident negroes, qualified to act as ju-
rors, be given to the jury commission
for them to choose colored jurymen for
the grand and petit juries therefrom.
Judge Allen says that he has no reason
to grant the requests of the petition,
because he has Away selected the men
he thought best fitted for it, to serve
on the jury com mission, and cannot
vary HE rule. but will continue to Sc
lect them according to his judgment of
their fitness; and that there is no reason
to carry out the second request because
the jury commissioners are already in
possession of copy of the tax asses
sor's list and 1t is solely within their
province to select therefrom, white or
black men.

THE RIGHT TO LIVE.

In any attempt to thresh out the
right of both Boxers and Christians
| and relieve the question of even the
righteous prejudice of Christianity, IT
resolves itself into these facts. Con
fucianism. Buddhism, and Moham-
mechanism can exist comparatively
peaceably side by side in Asia when
Christians are massacred.
In the zeal of perfect belief, the
missionaries do not hesitate to tear
down the structure of centuries old
beliefs. furthermore they destroy the
peace of that very life of Chinese
ethics, ancestor worship. The Chinese
ancestry veneration cannot be appre-
ciated by US who have no particular
use for our ancestors unless we
want to get into q Revolutionary
society. But to the Cinnamon the
Christian argument that their aness-
tors are probably in hades because
they dis not believe in Christ ia enough
in itself to disrupt China or Christian
ity in China.
1t is not for US tosay that truth can 60
too far but at least the Boxers have their
side. The right that other countries
have to send armed men into China to
quell the present disturbances. is that
China is unable to protect the Chris
tians and Christianity can not allow
them to be massacred. Higher civili-
cation than China ia duty bound to see
that China duly protects life.
China says thatthe missionaries have
no right to come into the country to
disturb the people in religion that
was perfectly satisfactory to them, but
China let the missionaries in, and in
these modern days when human life ia
held sacred, che must protect their
livee. She can hold any other coun-
tries to the same protection for China
men, can demand damages for Losses
her citizens suffer, can demand that
mobs Of men excited against the China
men shall be controlled and pu mia he'd
The law of civilization demands human
safety of all nations.

1T would seem from sll that Lord
Salisbury has said about the affairs in
China, that Englsnd is concerning
herself OILY with the present exig-
encies, the safety of amba- sailors,
ministers, copsuls aud unofficial Belt
ons In China, and is not anticipatip g
any partitioument, interna tiOnal or

This Is exactly the present position OF
the United States. 1t is difficult to see
what the game of Russia. France, or
Germany is, through. Germany claims
to have similar purposes and interests
to those put forward by Britain and
held by the United States. This would
give the balance of internstiona al power
strongly for holding China together,
despite the weakness of the govern
ment aud the strength Russia, aided
by France, will have in carrying out
any contrary scheme. If human life

tection, put in an elaborate and costly
system of cables. carrying in some cases
q hundred wires each. The result was
. vastly better service, and a much
bstter appearance of the streets.
But within the last few months the
wires have been increasing at . great
rate. There is no public inspector Of
wiring in this city. and each COM
pany's work men have gone ahead with
out supervision in the public interest,
stringing wires wherever they wanted
to, with as little regard for the public
safety as for the rights of existing
com panies. These thinRs are so self
evident to any one who cares to look W.
as he walks along the streets tb at they
scarcely need enumeration.
The problem now is, how to find a
remedy.
First, there should be q system Of
electric conduits along all the main
streets. These conduits might be built
aud maintained by the various electric
companies working in concert. That
plan would probably result in endless
warfare, and in the work being half
done or left undone. The better plan
is for the city to construct an adequate
system of conduits, compel all the COM
psnies to use them exclusively along
the streets in which they lie, and
charge the companies reason able rent
for the use Of the conduits. enough to
pay the interest on the investments and
to meet reasonable repair and main
ter ance charges. The latter plan ts to
be strongly commended.
Second, the electrician of the fire
department. should be charged with
the duties of inspector of wiring, both
n the streets and in houses, aud be
paid q small additional salary therefor,
without fees. Inspection of wiring.
in houses as we'll as in streets, lie
public necessity, and should not DE left
optional With citizens, nor should it be
. matter of fees to the Inspector.
Several months ago the directors of
the chamber of commerce forwarded
20 the city council draft OF q proposed
ordinance providing for inspection OF
wiring. The council did not approve
the ordinance and 1t was said that in
dividual aldermen opposed it On the
ground that the city would not only
have to meet the additional expense of
the salary but would in some way "be
come responsible" for accidents that
might happen. The view was absurd,
but the matter was not pushed.
Now while the inspection of street
wires is absolutely necessary to the
public safety, the extra expense Of the
inspector might be met by charging
the companies enough extra for the
use of the conduits to pay the inspec-
tors salary. The companies would
then make the cost up to themselves
in the charge to their customers for
wiring, and the cost would be eauita-
bly, distributed.
But however the cost is met
the subject is a most important one,
aud deserves to be fully discussed and
early actec upon.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

The three serious accidents within
two days, one of them fatal, resulting
from careless electric wiring, are suff1'
cient to rouse the city to the necessity
of making some immediate provision
for the change to an underground eye
tenn of conduits as soon as practicable.
We may as well realize that the city
has grown q good deal within the last
few years, and it is going to grow in
Q larger ratio during the near future.
We must look at things with some re-
gard to the future, and not build and
govern for the moment only.
In this matter of electric wires,
there can be but enc Opinion-that
when wires become so numerous as to
menace life and property, 1t is time to
put them under ground. This condi-
of FL Paso, and the work of burying
them should be begun as soon as pos
sible without working too much hard
ship on the companies who have their
money invested in the plants.
There can be no better time than
the present for making this change.
The streets have not been paved, and
even the side walks Cannot be injured
by any amount CT excavation necessary

young, and the damage that would be
worked by the change would be incon-
siderable.
Il would certainly be unfair to force
one or two of the companies to put
their wires underground and let the

scheme must be decided upon that will
treat all alike. The people OF the
city have little to do with the
private conflicts of the two rival cleo
trio light companies. and even If an

safety. It must be said that the wir-

ed asa much havoc with the trees and
with the appearance of the city as did
that OF the new electric light company.
And If the private panies are
