Improve the Jury System.

The coming session of the legislature
should try tn improve the jury system.
The people of Florida will never have
the highest respecs for the courts till the
best men viii consent TO sit on the juries.
In the first place juror should be paid
enough to defray his expenses away from
home. Five dollars per day should be
allowed him. In the second place, no
man should be allowed to sit on the jury
twice in the same year till all the names
in the jury box have been exhausted.
The judges and attorneys make from SO
TO $25 per day, but business man is ex-
pected to leave his business, pay board
and expenses away from home ON 81 per
day. A reasonable compensation-$5 per
day-would recompenoe him for this loss.
The professional juror is the bane of the
jury system. In all county-seat towns
there are men who sit on nearly every
jury. The attorneys don't like these fel-
lows to decide their cases, because they
know that the duty Of the professional
juror is TO convict, on pain of losing his
job. If he does not convict, he is not
picked up" again. If man were al
lowed to sit on jury only one session
year, the professional juror would have
to seek other employment.-DeLand

New York City Politics.

According to Perry Belmont.
who two years ago was a supporter
of Mr.. Croker, but, who is now
against him, the mayoralty con-
test In New York city next fall
will be the beginning of the presi-
dental contest of 1904. The way
he figures it out is this: If Mr..
Croker is beaten in the mayoralty
contest he will be out of politics
forever. If he is successful he will
most likely control the Democratic
committee of the state for a num-
Der of years, and will have a great
deal to say about the New York
delegation to the next Democratic
National convention.
Taking this view of the matter
1T might look as if there some con-
nection between the New York
mayOralty contest and the next
presidential contest, but it is a we'll
known TACT that most all the prom
inent men of New York are in
politics for their own selfish
schemes, and are not willing to
make any sacrifices for the welfare
of the public. Mr.. Belmont is
now against Mr.. Croker because he
has, no doubt, been badly disap-
pointed in getting something he
wanted, or perhaps Mr.. Croker has
crossed him in some way that he
wants Mr.. Croker beaten. Any
how 1t may turn out before that
election comes off that Mr.. Bel
mont would prefer to have Mr..
Croker successful. There is no
no way in which such a man can
lead.

"The Outcasts. %

Mr.. w. A. Fraser, author of Mooswa
and Others, has just written for early
publication in The Saturday Evening
Post short, stirring serial, entitled The
Outcasts"
The outcasts are an old bnffalo and a
wolfdog, and the greater part of the
story is about the strange comradeship
and Striking adventures of these COM
panions. and their pilgrimage, in com
pany, to the distant plains of deep grass,
OF which the wolfdog knew
There are action and strength of word
and phrase in the story, and the touch of
the soil and the music and charm and
sombreness Of the forest. The rush of
the frenzied buffalo herd TO death Is told
with splendid dramatic power. The
plan of the book is a unique conception,
and il Is worked out on novel and enter
tanning lines.

Negro Fiend's Deed at Miami.

In all probability there will soon be a
legal hanging in Miami. A negro who
has been known as GAINESVILLE, but who
gave his name as Rich McCloud when ne
was arrested, is now in Jail, says the Mi
ami Metropolis, TO await the next term
of circuit court, 70 be tried for the brutal
murder of Rosa Lee Davis. The murder
occurred on Monday night at the house
occupied until then by the dead woman.
Ii appears from the evidence developed
at the preliminary trial on Tuesday be-
fore Justice r. NJ. Smith, that McCloud
gained entrance to Rosa's house by
stealth and that he knocked her in the
head with burning lamp, and that the
bed and the woman's clothing were set
on fire and she was literally burned TO
death.

JUsTIcE BREwER. of the supreme

JUSTICE BREWER, of the supreme
court has declared in lecture at
Yale that the Jury system, as at
present administered, is little more
than a relic of a semi-barbarous
age" When such strong words
come from so eminent a jurist, can
there be any surprise that citizens
do everything they can to escape
jury duty? This seems to be a
case where the lawmakers have an
opportunity TO achieve great re-
form. M

commoners and PIutocrats.

The dictionaries sell US that a
"commoner" is one of the common
people, as distinguished from the
titled class. Having no titled
class, no aristocracy, with whom
shall we compare a man in order
to discover whether or not he is a
"commoner''2 Moreover, this des-
ignation implies inferiority, how
ever different may be the intention
of the gentleman who is now using
it so freely. 1t does not mean the
same thing as Lincoln's phrase,
'the plain people" This is term
that we can all understand. The
plain people are not necessarily
commoners; they are distinguished
by nothing except the absence of
ostentation. The plain people may
be rich or poor, educated or igno-
rant; they may be more or less
worthy. AS a matter of fact, the
plain people comprehend all sorts
and conditions of men, and where
as to "commoners" the idea Of in
feriOrity at once attaches, the
"plain people" suggests merely the
mass; the term carries with it no
odium, and implies the existence
of no contrast with a defined
higher class of special privileges.
The Saturday Evening Post asks:
How, indeed, can there be any
classes in q state where any line
that should be attempted to be
drawn between them would be
quickly scuffed out of sight by the
feet of those pressing upward in
intelligence, capacity and wealth,
"Virtue and talents"P There can
be no classes in country where
the scommOner" of yesterday is
the statesman, capitalist, pluto
crat," if you like, of today. And
great harm may be done politically
and socially by the propagation of
the idea that the people of the
United States are divided into any
other classes than these two, the
worthy and the unworthy; those
who have virtue and talents" and
those who lack these character
istics.
Even In the most democratic OF
European countries, England, the
son of farmer or shopkeeper is
discouraged in any desire he may
manifest to occupy higher social
position. The idea of class or
caste, in a form somewhat modi-
fed, is as firmly held in England
today as it was ever held.
Here, on the other hand, the
greatest encouragement TO effort
and improvement has been the
knowledge that the most desirable
and the most sought-after things of
life, together with the highest
honOrs, are open to all without re-
gard to BIRTH. To disseminate q
theory Of caste is TO impair effort
and weaken ambition, and not
even in the name of politics should
an attempt to do this be permitted.
