The Grand Jury.

The people of the state will be call
ed upon on November s. to vote for or
against an amendment relating to
grand juries, The Pioneer Press edi-
torially speaking of the matter says:
II is to be hoped that the voters of
Minnesota will, between now and
next November, make serious study
of the advantages which will accrue
to the state from the adoption of the
proposed constitutional amendment
relating to grand juries. If they do
so they will undoubtedly vote for it.
It's adoption would be an important
step toward simplifying the present
cumbrous methods of procedure in
criminal cases, and securing that
great end of all, substantial JUS
tice."
The amendment does not of itself
abolish grand juries. 1t simply places
it in the power of the legislature to
substitute, in such cases as it may de-
termine, trial on information filed by
the prosecuting attorney for trial up
on indictment or presentation. At
present no criminal can be brought to
trial in Minnesota except through the
action of grand jury of not less than
sixteen or more titan twenty-three
persons. of whom at least twelve must
agree to any indictment or presenta-
tion to give it validity. A grand jury
must be summoned for every term of
court in every judicial district in Min
nesota, whenever there is any business
to be brought before it. The cost for
| jury fees, for witness fees and mileage
and incidental expenses is heavy, and
the delays involved often bear heav-
lily upon the persons waiting trial as
well as upon the counties for their
maintenance Then. after an indict-
ment is found and the prisoner placed
on trial, no end of further trouble is
sometime experienced through defects
in the form of the instrument, which
may afford ground for appeals. new
trails, etc. And after all. the whole
rigmarole Of the grand jury, in most
leases, is based or facts before it by
the prosecuting attorney: and the
body usually acts under that officials
guidance. In point of fact the pri-
soner is even now "tried on informant
ion" given by the prosecuting attor-
ney; the grand jury being but sort of
intermediary wheel in the judicial
machinery, taking up a great deal OF
space and costing good deal to keep
it oiled, but absolutely unessential to
to the working out of justice.
Things are not now as they were In
the old monarchical power, when
judges and courts were subserievient
to kings and the nobility, and when
the grand jury undoubtedly served as
a bulwark against despotism shield
| for the maliciously accused. With
our open courts: with trial juries al

A Noble Woman Gone.

Monday afternoon the funeral of Mrs. Watkins Gittens, who died Satur- day evening, was held from the family residence on Crawford street, inter ment being in the Odd Fellows ceme- tery. She was 1T years of age at the time of her death, which was caused by heart failure, brought on by a serious attack of pneumonia, from which she was recovering.
 Mrs Gittens was q most estimable lady, highly respected by all who knew her and her sudden death has caused genuine sorrow in this community, where during short residence she has by many acts of ch ,rity and kindness, endeared herself to large number of our citizens.
 A kind and affectionate husband and five loving children, two married daughters, one un-married daughter and two sons, Tom and Johnny, are left to mourn the passing of this nobls woman, whose every thought while alive was for home and family. In this, their hour of bereavement, they have the sympathy of the citizens of Santa Crnz county.

A Good Appointment.

MT. ". S. Mcknight of this city, has been appointed United States line rider, with headquarters at this port and has entered upon his duties. The appointment of Mir. Mcknight Is a good one. For many years he has resided along the Mexican border, be- ing engaged in mining and stockrais- ing; he Is a thorough westerner and is accustomed to roughing it on the range and in the mountains; he understand the Spanish language and is familiar with the Mexican people; he is good herseman, a good rifle shot and a man of splendid nerve and courage, just such man as Uncle Sam needs to guard the boundary line. At the last county election Mir. Nick night was the Republican candidate for sheriff of Santa Crzuz. being defeated by T. J. Turner, the president sheriff. He will make a splendid record as U. S. line rider, and we wish him all sorts of good luck.

England. and I washed down the repa st with wine which was old when Col ombus was playing barefoot with the boys in Genoa.
 The apples were from an earthen 12'' taken from the ruins of Pompeii. The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the Pyramids, the butter from a stone shelf from an old well in Scot land. where for several centuries 1t mad lain in an earthen crock in ice water and the wine was recovered from an old vault in the city of COrintn.
