UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

There is a palpable abuse
growing up in the United
States court here of the privil-
eyes allowed under the rules Of
selecting trial juries. II is not
the fault Of the court, but Of
certain attorneys, that a large
class Of respectable citizens are
Disseminated against and dis
qualified from sitting upon ju-
ries in the trial of larceny
cases. Fhe Chieitain has re-
peatedly observed that when
the defendants attorney asks
the question, "Do you belong
to the Anti-Horse Thief associ-
ation?' or 10 the "Cattle Pro-
tectiye Association?" that the
honest farmer and stockman is
forced TO stand aside and his
place filed, oftentimes, by the
professional juror, who don't
belong to any Of these organic
ations. This is an unjust dis
elimination and ought not to
be allowed. The best class Of

Many of our readers are anx-
iously waiting to hear from the
newly created commission of nine
selected BY the council to nego.
tiate another treaty with the gov
ernment. Nothing has been heard
Of the bill since it was sent to
president Of the United States for
approval. As soon as it il sign ed,
which no doubt it will be, the
commission will organize and pre-.
pare for work by so announcing
to the Dawes commission who will
arrange time and place for the
meeting The old treaty, it is un-
derstOod, will be used as a basis
for the new treaty, and such pOr-
tions as were most obj eclionable
will be left out of the new treaty.
The general sentiment Of the Cher
okee people is favorable to a
treaty, but an unlavorable treaty
would receive fewer votes now
than formerly. Notwithstanding
the great anxiety for a flal Fet-
clement there is a strong senli-
menl in favor Of not yielding to
what may be con sidered injustice.

There will be no civil cases tried

these associations to protect
themselves against the maraud-
ing bands Of thieves that infest
the country, and with few cx-
ceptions the man who can say
he don't belong to any Of them
has been refused admission for
some good reason. We have
seen men ordered to stand
aside during the present term
Of court, whose integrity could
not be assailed on any grounds.
Attorneys who take this adj
vantage of honest men are max
ing a mistake, and the logical
conclusions of honest men is
that they have a client who is
a thief, and whose trial they
dare not trust in the hands of
men who are known to DC OPP

If the courts of the country al

WAR OFFICE INEFFICIENT.

NEW YORK. Jan. ia dispatch to

Military men are disappointed by the
feebleness of the measures adopted by
the war office for easing the situation
in South Africa. They assert that Sir
Michael Hicks Beach Is again at fault.
as he was before the campaign opened.
in withholding financial supplies which
are indispensable. He is a prudent and
careful financier, who insists at every
turn that the war expenses must be
kept down to the lowest possible point.
Lord Roberts is credited with hav-
ing advised the ministry to send out
fifty thousand fresh troops, and 10
withdraw an equal number Of men
from the lines Of communications.
Military men assert that this was the
true policy. since it would have re-
lieved at least one-fourth of the troops
now In the field and have encouraged
those left behind TO believe that their
turn would come. The expense Of
would have been consid-
cradle. but the army which has be-
come stale and dlspirited would, have
been greatly invigorated.
The chancellor Of the exchequer is
reported to have objected
strenuously to this course, and small
relief measures such as fresh ievies of
the yeomanry and Australians, have
been substituted for a comprehensive
policy.
