THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

A bill before the last session of tn,
Legislature embodied a reform in tn,
method Of grand jury presentment. /
was calculated to do away with larg,
proportion Of the duties that the CRANE
jury is now called upon to perform
thus saving much in expense. Othel
reasons were assigned for the proposed
reform, but it got only scant hearing
because somebody suspected that il
was devised to hamper prohibition
and so il went the way of all bills thu,
branded Whatever the purpose OF
this particular bill, or it structural
weakness, the idea is growing fast
that some reform is called for in the
grand jury system, to the end that
private rights, as well as public
interests, may be more securely safe
guarded.
The grand jury system had at its
inception the protection of innocent
persons from unnecessary hazard OF
trial or Imprisonment as its chief
purpose. 1t was a bar to shield the
weak private citizen from the covert
assault of prince and potentate. But
no such danger has menaced the
private citizen for many years, and.
by a curious turn, the citizen himself
is now the chief sufferer from the
system first framed Tor his protection.
The grand jury is an adjunct of our
county courts. 1t is composed of Is
jurors drawn by lot from a larger
list who are elected by the several
towns of the county at the annual
March meeting. No complaint is
heard as to the method of drawing the
grand jury. Generally, its members
are men of fairness and intelligence.
1t IS in the task that they are called
upon to perform that the fault lies.
The grand jury is sworn to absolute
secrecy as to matters that come before
it. It's sittings are behind locked
doors. 1t never hears but one side of
any case and that the States. The
States Attorney produces witnesses
and arguments to show why a certain
person should be brought TO trial at
county court for a certain offence or.
crime. ranging all the way from
to murder. The accused
is not represented in any way
by counsel or witnesses, and may. for
all that the grand jury knows, be in
blissiul ignorance OF the whole

a Plain Talk.

Who that has heart Of feeling Is
not panied daily by the treatment Of
the horse-that most useful, willing
/ patient, faithful friend to man? How
hard he works and how often he re.
ceives no pay but unkind words and
blows With all his efforts there are
some masters who require still more
I of him-whose demands are never sat
istied. They beat him when he is try
inc to pull beyond his strength: they
kick him when he is down; they pro-
vide him with poor rations, with a cold
stall and hard bed They call him
names, they jerk him about, they play
the tyrant inst because their victim Is
too good to strike back.
There are, however, many kind
hearts among horsemen-and among
lookers-on about the streets and sta
bles-and to these we appeal TO try to
remedy many little annoyances besides
the downright cruelties to which the
poor horse is subjected Sometimes q
few words fifty spoken viii bring COM
fort to the faithful animal.
Among the common things that we
see daily is that tapping binder
Consider how the flight OF a mosquito
against your eye annoys and even hurts
you. How uncomfortable and pain
ful must be that fop-flop against the
eyes ofthe horse at every step he takes.
Ask the driver to cut the binder away
entirely or fasten it properly to the
bride so it will stay i'm its place.
Then perhaps under the collar is a
sore shoulder. Friend of the horse, 90
to him when harnessed to a load of
brick or stone and gently raise the col
lar. If you find raw sore there insist
upon having the animal laid by or, at
least, given frequent rest with bathing
and amounting the part until it heals
This can be done in a few DAYS with
good care-washing thoroughly and
often with tepid water and applying
some soothing ointment. If the man
refuses to do this. call upon the consta-
BILE or police. The law against cruelty
will sustain YOU.
Another affection which the faithful
horse labors under is the cruel check
line. Beg OF the driver to put himself
in the poor animals place, imagine him
self compelled to pull load and at the
same time to be thus hampered in the
effort to exert the strength he needs.

PAYING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
CATTLE.

Some farmers complain because
under the so-called tuberculosis law
they receive only half compensation
for their cattle condemned. when they
are found to be affected They argue
that the state ought to pay them full
value, and that, too, on basis OF
healthy stock.
No doubt it would expedite the
testing and make life more pleasant
for the cattle commissioners ii this
were the case, but, considering the
interests of all, it is not reasonable to
demand full compensation. If stock
becomes infected with other dangerous
forms of disease, the owner is obliged.
of necessity, to sacrifice it, and the
state bears no part Of his loss. In the
case OF tuberculosis, if the theory that
the disease is communicable to human
beings is correct, the public has an
interest in stamping it out as quickly
and completely as possible, so as to
protect the public health. To bring
this about without undue hardship to
the individual owner, the state paws
half the appraised value, not to exceed
$40 per animal.
This seems to US fair to all
concerned. If animals so badly
affected that their demise is but a
question Of days can be sold to the
state Tor halt the price Of well cattle
when no other disposition of them
could possibly be made, it ought to
Offset the other possibility, which is
that cattle only slightly diseased. that
might live for years and pass for
healthy stock, would respond to the
test and be condemned. 1t is commonly
the case, where tests are made. that
the majority of the animals thar
respond are found to be in an advanced
stage OF the disease, while a few only
are slightly affected. The owner i
apt to feel that he is wronged because
only the former were condemned. In
fact, a. between the state and himself
he IS the gamer. He gets more than
many Of the animals are worth. and
less than a few would bring in market
The presence of tuberculosis in a herd
is generally pretty wen established
before the test is made and the herd is
marked in the community.
OF course if bovine tuberculosis is
not a menace to public health-and
the point is yet a moot one-then the
state has no direct interest in it. the
law should be repealed and the
treasury saved many thousands of
dollars each year. But how much
better of would the farmer be if this
were the case and, after his herd was
found to be rotten with the disease. he
had to stand the entire loss OF its

THE SOLDIER AND HIS SUPPORT

The American soldier is a pretty
Expensive luxury. He costs the
government over a thousand dollars q
year, or five times as much as the
European soldier costs his government.
The result is that Germany, France,
Austria, Russia or Italy can support
five times as large a standing army as
the United States at no greater cost.
We commiserate these countries often
on account of their staggering military
burden, but it is a fact that not one of
them expends as much annually for
army support and pensions as we DO.
The fact that the pay Of the regular
soldier in the United States army, his
uniform and rations are all told only
about a third OF what the government
pays out on his account indicates that
somebody profits largely from this
military business aside from the
enlisted men.
Inasmuch as war nowadays is very
largely a trial OF finances, we would
be at a great disadvantage unless we
could devise some means of reducing
expenditures without impairing
efficiency. Although rich country,
we could not compete with the
"pauper armies of Europe Man Tor
man, our regular army is probably, as
Lord Wolseley says, the best in the
world, but it is not so much better as
the excess in expense would indicate.
Our army establishment is conducted
with lavish hand. Money is not
spared to insure the comfort even the

! jury, after hearing this ex parte, stan
. chamber presentment, decide that it is
sufficient to warrant an Indictment,
they may thus indict and order the
accused person to trial before the
petit jury.
] The grand jury does not pronounce
him guilty. but ii holds him for trial,
thus interfering with his ordinary
course, putting him to trouble and
expense and often to the necessity of
undergoing Imprisonment in Jail in
default of bail-all this before he has
had any chance whatever to be heard,
TO know the evidence against him or
to rebut 1t with his own. 1t does seem
an altogether unnecessary step in the
legal ladder, unfair and oppressive.
We all know how different a story
appears after we hear both sides, but
in so serious a matter as the admins
tration Of justice, an important stage
of the procedure deals with one side
only and that adverse to the accused.
Fearing to make any slip, grand
juries are prone to indict on evidence
of a shaky character. which might not
be admissible in court. They argue
that the accused will get fair chance
later and it doesn't matter much if he
is held now. The consequence is that
persons suffer indictment many times
a disgrace in itselt-who never would
be held if their case could have been
presented. To a certain extent, a
person under indictment has the
burden of proof thrown upon him.

There was much difficulty in intro
ducing the potato into France. 1t was
only toward the end of the reign of
Louis XIV that it began to be used.
The learned had opposed its introduc-
ton Systematically, saying it produced
leprosy, and the common people re-
fused to test it even on their live stock
A trick at last established it. Fields
were planted all over France with po
tatoes and carefully guarded until the
tubers were ripe, it being given out
that these fields. were growing a new
thing specially for the king and that
trespassers would be prosecuted. Now,
the laws at that time were severe. A
man might be hanged when he hunted
in the wild forest, for the game was
the seigneur's, almost each one of
whom kept his private gallows. Tres
pass against the king implied. there
fore, terrible punishment.
The danger of the punishment proved
Itself an alluring bait. AS the contriv-
err, wise in foresight, had seen. the
fields that were purposely left unguard
ed were pillaged right and left. the po-
tatoes eaten, some kept and planted
and the tuber at last effectually intro
duced in France.
