INTELLIGENCE NOT a BAR.

Since the Patterson, n. Js jury 30 quick
ly reached verdict In the case Of the
rich young murderers Of jennie Bosch
eiter, and reached such an intelligent
verdict. the country has been a little
curious to know how It was ne, and
why 1t was that the wealth and standing
Of the defendants could not as If usually
the case, confuse the jury and delay the
decision.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer offers a
briet and interesting explanation. The
most radical differences, 1t says, between
the methods in New jersey and elsewhere
lie in the principle on which jurios arc
made up. In other states intelligence
knowledge OF current events aud inter-
est enough in them to form an opinion
are held TO Inc disquallfcatlons In a muir
der case The ideal juror in those states
does not know what is going on around
him and is cIther too Ignorant, too stupid
or too lazy 10 form an opinion on any
thing
In New Jersey, the Plain Dealer further
observes, they manage theee things dir
terently. 1t Is no disqualification to read
tho newspapers, or to have formed an
opinion ON the reports contained In
them. The supreme court has decided
that bystander who Witnesses a crime
Is competent TO he Juror 10 the ease
when the accused is brought TO trial. In
fact, An New Jersey the strange notion
prevails that the more Intelligent man
Is tho better juror he will make. that Que
who forums an opinion on the story OF Il
crime as published in the papers IS cap
able of forming an Intelligent and UNI
biased opinion on the evidence as brough,
out at the trial; TINT the more n juror
knows OF the accused, the Victim, anC
the surrounding circumstances aud con,
dltions the better qualified he is to Civ
sound judgement on the facts as pre-
sented in the court room
This New Jersey method of formini
iuries Is worth consideration by the law
makers OF other States, In some states
indeed, the old conservative sentiment
would imagine that ahe court house wou,t
fall II a man who had formed an opinion
on murder case from reading Tho news
paper accounts were permitted to At or
tire jury trying the case. We eau ali
live and learn, and the snoothness an
swiftness with which justice marched &c

THE PRACTICES OF MEpIorss.

1t would seem almost incredible that
any intelligent man in Texas should
openly oppose the demand for legislation
designed to prevent the practice OF med,-
cine in the State except by those hold.
ing certificates or diplomas from reput-
able, bona fde schools of medicine and
surgery.
And yet this demand is antagonized by
few people and the unjust argument
is actually made that the physicians with
diplomas are engaged In scottish con-
spiracy." for gain to keep all others
from the practice OF mediclnei
The idea back of this argument seems
TO be that the practice OF medicine Is
on par with the cutting OF wood, or
digging bitches. or driving wagon, and
ought TO be thrown open as an occupation
to all eomers without any special regu-
lations whatever. AZ a matter OF fact
the practice OF medicine is a very diff
ferent thing from even the practice OF
law, or any other profession. The medi-
cal practitioner deals with the health
and lives OF the people. His field OF
operations is far more delicate and
