presented (not In the way of demand) asking for the careful consideration of such a request. l would not sign such a petition, for the reason that I think there is a more business like way of reaching still better results. I am not in favor of the city mourning the enormous debt necessary to buy the water works and for still other import ant reasons, which I will refer to at some future time. If fair and reason- able terms can be had it is better for twenty-five years than for any less per- iod, both for the company and the city. With the growth of the city there is an increasing amount of water needed for public use, which might make a demand for more pay ten years hence, above what might be quite a reasonable sum now. Everyone knows that the city is not in any financial condition to buy the water works now and will not be the next twenty-five years hence, if ever. The burdened taxpayers of this city need to take in much more than this water matter, and labor for just and equible system of taxation, reach ing to every kind of property, no mat ter what kind, whether franchises or other things When this is done, every one vii! be treated fairly if the city buys anything 1t will pay a just price for it, and taxes will be laid on the true cash value of the property taxed, of whatever nature it may be, except such as for good reasons are wholly exempt. To this end much more time and thought needs to be given than has been thus far. Count the writer in on this good work. John Kerley.

WHY WE SHOULD RETAIN THE
 JURY SYSTEM.

i But the final question is, whether it is
 worth while to preserve the system
 even with the amendments suggested
 writes Associate Justice David J
 Brewer in the International Monthly
 for January. For myself, believe in
 the jury, and that it should be pre- served as a factor in judicial investi- gations, and for these, among other, reasons. It is a tribunal which comes into being with the occasion and van- ishes with the end of the trial. The community soon forgets who sat upon it, and there is no building up of preju- dice against the individuals who com posed it. How seldom do we see in the papers any complaint of the jurors who try case, while the judge who pre- sides at the trial is often thereafter the subject of bitter attack
 Again, there are many questions whose determination cannot be accord ing to any strict rules of measurement and yet they must be settled. Is there any better way than, as 1t were, by asking the community how they should be settled? and that is done by leaving
 them to a jury, who, in theory at least, announce the average judgment. Take suits for personal injuries. Who shall say how much an arm or leg is worth? An attempt to give, as judges are expected to give, reasons for fixing upon the precise amount would be futile. A jury hears' the testimony, sees the injured party and awards that which according to it's combined judg- ment is fair compensation. And yet no one of the jurors might be able to fig ure out with pen and pencil exactly how he reached his conclusion.
 And, finally, 1t Is of importance that the people as a whole should realize that the administration of justice is a part of their work. We cannot too of- ten repeat the statement ha if popu- lar government is to continue, all must take an interview therein, and realize that upon each one rests some share of responsibility, and the administer Ing of justice is one of the peculiar duties of government. So there should be brought home to kevery individual the thought that he is personally se- sopnsible for the way in which justice Is administered and if from time to time he serves as juror, he can but feel that he is partially, at least, dis charging that responsibility, and is helping to secure a more perfect ad- of justice in the communi- ty
