THE GRAND JURY.

From the manner in which the grand
| Jury has started out this year, the pub
| lie has reason to look for some unusu-
ally good work by that body before
the present members give place to
their successors.
The most striking feature of the
grand jury's work, was the intelligent
discrimination with which it threw out
number oftrivial cases which really
had no business in the court. In this
way, the term of the sessions was short
ened at least two days, and possibly
three, without the slightest hindrance
to the proper administration of justice.
Although every individual citizen is
supposed to fully comprehend the
powers and duties of grand juror,
and although every presiding judge
makes it a special point to explain
anew those powers and duties, it is a
curious fact that it is only occasionally
that there is empaneled grand jury
that is fully capable of comprehending
the tremendous responsibility of its
position.
Not in a quasi manner, but actual
ly, the Office ofgrand juror is the high
est and most resposible under our form
Of government. Neither the judge on
the bench or the other officers of the
court are exempt from his inquiry, and
it is his duty and right to exercise
proper supervision even over the pri-
vate life of every citizen, who, in any
manner, transcends either the common
or statute laws. 1t is his especial duty
to inquire into the conduct, capacity,
and even motives, Of all officials
charged with the administration of civil
affairs. In short, be is the one great
buiwark between law and order on the
one side and anarchy on the other. A
proper appreciation and discharge OF
his duties tend to conserve law and Or
der, while a neglect of them tends to
anarchy.
Although theoretically the right
thing, in its practical working, our
present system of selecting grand ju-
rors is really a dangerous thing. A
matter of such moment should not be
left to chance. The law provides 9TH
erwise, and really certain amount OF
discrimination is generally used but
still, even in a country like ours, where
majority of the citizenship is of such
exceptional character, there should be
no possibility of clothing with the pow
er and responsibility that rests in the
Office of grand juror, any citizen who
who is not of irreproachable character
and above the average of intelligence.
But for a good many years past
York has had exceptionally good ju-
ries, both grand and petit, and the
tendency seems to be to raise rather
than lower the standard. From the

CHICAGO, October 1.-THE strength
which wheat exhibited early to-day IN
fiuenced considerably by the ~reopenlng
of mills at Minneapolis, was lost later,
December closing CSC under yesterday.
Corn closed B@Ac higher and oats n
lower.
Provisions closed but little changed.
While there was market news OF va
rious kinds served up to the consider
atlon of spectators in wheat the mar
ket more than anything else owed its
irregularity-and it was irregular-to
the instability of sentiment among
small traders. December opened A@
CSC higher at 1914 to &c. Paris was
firm, Liverpool steady, three mills at
Minneapolis were reported about to
reopen and receipts at Duluth were
light. Sentiment changed, however,
and December sold quickly down to
76Ac. 1t recovered to 76Bc just as
quickly and in this was assisted by the
strength of outside markets and buying
by the northwest. Near the end, the
usual hoodoo, outside Indifference,
made itself felt and December declin-
ed to 75Bc and closed down at 76@B.
The seaboard reported u loads taken
for export. Primary receipts were
1,036, 90 bushels against 873 900 bush
els last year. A year ago Minneapolis
vas not inclined in the aggregated re-
ceipts. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 500 cars against 3S9 last week
and 354 a year ago. Seaboard clear
ances in wheat and flour were equal
to sos 900 bushels.
Corn was firm and fairly active, the
of 1916, 900, 900 bushels was the chief
influence. Local shipments were $751;
900 bushels, making 100000 bushels
for two days. Shorts were the best
buyers. The cash trade was slow. De-
cember sold between 34% and Soc and
closed h@Ac higher at 34Bc. Re-
ceipts were sol cars.
Oats We're quiet and easy on the gov
eminent report estimate of a yield of
S10,0 900 bushels, the largest crop
since 1895. Receipts were 1856 cars.
December sold between 22Ac and 22d
and closed Nc down at 221sc.
Provisions started firm on the hog
receipts which were 5000 under the
estimate. A bulge followed the open
ing on liberal buying by those who
had sold earlier in the week, but later
the market turned easier in sy1npa-
thy with wheat. The close was steady.
January pork 2hc lower at $11 so
January lard unchanged at Sc 80 and
January ribs unchanged at Sc Is.
Flax was an exciting day, influence
ed by the small stocks and the Duluth
advance. October opened 10c higher
at 81 Is, sold at 81 IA, advanced to
81 70, broke to 81 70, and rallied to
ST. Y at the close.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat 245 cars; corn $50 cars; oats
285 cars: hogs 24,00 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
