THE GRAND JURY BILLS,

Opposition to the bill to "abollsh the grand
jury" dwindles rapidly when that measure is
examined Much of the opposition to it has
arisen from the looseness of term by which it is
designated and not from what the bill attempts
to do. The fact is that the measure retains the
grand Jury whenever that institution is deemed
serviceable and only abo1ishes it when there is
no need of it. It is bill for local option in
grand juries. Today every district has to have
a grand jury every often whether it is needed
or not and this compulsory luxury has to be
paid for. Under the Laybourne bill as passed
by the senate it is provided that grand juries
shall not be required to attend any term of any
court unless of the judges of the district
orders it. It is thus left optional with any
Judge to summon grand jury when he cons-
ders it wise. But it is not left entirely to the
discretion of the judges. While they may sum-
mon grand jury at any time, they must sum-
mon one when majority of the county COM
missioners request it or when one hundred
electors petition for it.
This measure has passed the senate, but it
is not company without Senate File No. 80. now
pending, which substitutes system of prose-
cution on information by the county attorney
for prosecution by indictment by grand jury.
It has been fanced that this system of prose-
cution on information gives the county attor-
ney practically complete power to, prosecute or

refuse to prosecute when any one has been

of the court that he is not able to secure con-

AS the Pioneer Press has frequently said
before, there is nothing in the least novel or ex

in Michigan since 1857 and in Wisconsin since
1871: and there has been no intimation that in |
either of those states the rights Fighter of the
accused Or of the prosecution were not fully
prot ected. With some notifications, the sys-

a longer or shorter period established in New

The railroad committee Oh the 7ttCaIse VIA
run into sdettaek on Friday when they re
ported the Nolan reciprocal demurrage Dill -
indefinite postposement, and offered substi
tute. The House sustained the minority repor
by the decisive vote of "a to rs. The Nolan bill
was thus placed on general orders and the sub
=ttute bill consigned to oblivion. The fight tc
turn down the railroad committee was made by
w. 4. Nolan, who two years age as Chairman oi
the railroad committee was overturned in the
same way when he recommended Ward Stones
railroad bill for indefinite postponement.
The railroad committee are however max
ing fight for their substitute bill, and on Tues
day. it was introduced as a new bill by the
chairman, and the committee got together that
day and recommended it back to the House.
The railroad committee have worked over de-
1nurrage bill, and some of the strongest men in
the House are committed to the substitute bill.
The latter simply requires that railroad COM
panies shall print and post their demurrage
rules, and shall furnish cars and move cars with
reasonable dispatch In a general way, the
whole matter is placed in the hands of the Rail
road and Warehouse Commission to prescribe
reasonable provisions rather than any set rules
as to time.

The House Friday passed the Code with
out dissenting vote. That the code should
pass unanimously shows that there is very
little new legislation in it, aad none to which
any member has strong opposition. The code
is now in the Senate, and with the high endorse
ment which it got from the House, it is hardlyf
probably that the Senate will assume the un-
divided responsibility of it's not passing. 1t is
noticeable that there is less talk of the Senate
not passing the code than there was formerly. |
In as much as the intimation has gone
abroad that the Legislative employees this year
are bunch of "soldiers," Julius Schmahl, the
chief clerk took occasion this week to especially
commend the character and faithfulness of the
Legislative clerks in his paper, the Redwood
Gazette. AS it:would hardly have been becom-
ing for Mr.. Schnahl to have handed himself a
bouquet we would like to add that in his post
of chief clerk Mr.. Schmahl is of tn" drivers"
of the legislative engine. The swiftness and
facility with which he handled the work at the
desk is a pleasure to watch, and adds greatly to
the amount of progress made by the House.
Mr. Schmahl has some very laudabe ambitions
is the direction of more pretentious state office
service in the legislature will stand him in good
stead.

Origin of Billiards.

The origin of billiards is obscure,
but the best authorities on the sub
ject declare that the game was
brought from the east by the Cru
saders. 1t was certainly played by

Knights of Malta, and in medieval
time was exceedingly popular among
the monks in the monasteries of

A. S. OFE.
Proceeding and Resolutions OF The
County Ulion AT its Recent
Meeting at Hartford.

Ohio county Union Of A. S. of E..
met at Hartford April |, 1905, Pres.
David Moreland presided. House
was called to order at 10 o'clock, a.
m. Minutes of previous meeting
read by Secretary. Approved as
read. The following gentleman
were appointed a committee on cse-
dentials. j. c. Park. w. X. Price,
ID. +. Ward. Committee reported
"a Local Unions represented. The
following committee was appointed
on Resolutions. A. b. Tichenor,
F. w. Pirtle. c. j. Whittinghill.
Said committee reported as follows:
Resolved. /, That we recon-
mend that all owners of tobacco at
this time stand in line with the rec
concentrations Of the Lynchburg con-
vention.
2, That we endorse the action of
the Ohio county Union in the early
grading of the tobacco crop to be
grown in 1905.
3. That we recommend that there
should be difference in price of to-
bacco grown in the future of.at least
five dollars per hundred according
TO grade and quality.
4. That we favor cooperation with
all labor organizations along all legi-
innate lines for the mutual benefit
Of all parties concerned.
5, That we favor the pushing of
the organization of the A. S. of +.
into unorganized territory to the
end that we may secure fair and
equitable prices for all the products
of the farm. and especially do we
favor that steps be taken as early as
possible to secure profitable prices
for the live stock produce on the
farms.
This report was adopted without
objection. The committee previous
ly appointed to 60 to Owensboro to
investigate the equity warehouse
plan then made its report.
Mr.. J. w. Wade as part of his re-
port read the contract between G.
N. Thompson and committee for the
A. S. of +. Mr.. Wade was very
much in favor of the plan. David
Moreland reported that he had made
a thorough investigation of the plan
and proceeded TO make lengthy re-
port of same giving in detail the
manner of grading and classifying
of the tobacco received by said
houses. He thought the work was
being done in first class order, also
considered contracts very plain and
simple and perfectly fair. especially
the one with Turpin & Wood. He
madea strong speech in favor of the
foollng plan.
Said report was unanimously re-
ceived, but no further action was ia
ken by the body in regard to the
warehouse plan.
The meeting was well attended
and considerable interest and enthu-
siasm was manifested. The business
of the meeting being concluded a
time and place for the next meeting |
was called for, which resulting in the
selection of Hartford and the first |
Saturday in May as the time for the
next regular county union.

GOLD FROM SEA WATER.
Experiments Prove That. Briney
Deep is a Great Treasure
House.
United states Consular Reports ]

UNITED States Consular Reports
1t has long been asserted that gold
exists in state of solution in the
sea, and that in the many attempts
to extract it some has been collected
and precipitated, but it is admitted
that failure has attended every effort
at extraction on commercial basis.
The announcement is now made,
however, that new process has re-
ceived the sanction of no less a per-
son than Sir William Ramsey, pre-
fessor of chemistry in University
College, London, officer of the French
Legion of Honor, corresponding
member of the Institute of France.
member of scientific and philosophi-
cal societies in nearly every civilized
country. and the author of numerous
scientific papers and treatises. The
new process is patented, but no fur
Their description of it is given than
that it bears a certain resemblance
to the treatment adopted in the
mines of the Witwatersrand"
South Africa.
1t is said that a syndicate, whose
title and address are not given. has
been quietly picking up favorable
sites on the English and Irish coasts,
and has now acquired right over
some 80 miles of foreshore. The Sc
curing of extensive foreshore rights
is necessary because the sea water
must be absolutely pure to obtain
the best results from the new process.
Therefore, factories and pumping
stations must be established well out
of reach of passing steamers, the
bilge water from which would con-
taminate the surrounding sea, and
derange the process of extraction.
Some forty years ago active ex-
periments began which showed that
gold in minute quantities was dis
solved in many rivers and streams.
and later on a measurement of gold
in sea water places the amount at
about a grain in each ton of the
water. A grain of gold being worth
about cents, and the tons of water
in the ocean being placed at
GO, 900, 900. 100000. it staggers the
mind to attempt to compute in dol
lars the prodigious total value of the
gold in the ocean. Should the new
process do all that its friends san
guinely claim for it, gold would
almost become a drug on the market;
but it is considerably remarked that
lit would obviously not serve the in
terests Of the syndicate to secure
gold in greater quantities than the
market could absorb. Moreover,
the firm of financiers whom we be-
lieve to be mainly concerned in the
developments is for too deeply in
volved in high finance to engage in
any operations which would have an
unset1ing effect upon.th cur
rency."
