II have heard some criticism as to
the capacity Of the Mexican as a
juror"
Speaking from an experience OF
twenty-five years active practice at
the bar Of this state, and as district
attorney for five years, | can say that
the average Mexican Is a fair and i'm
partial juror, and very intelligent and
determined In all matters affecting
property rights and the enforcement
OF criminal laws. AT the same time
he Is subject to the traditional influ-
ences of the patriarchal system under
which he has been born and educated.
He has great respect for the opinions
OF the older members of his family
and the elders Of the community, and
his conduct as a juror Is often in
%fluenced by public sentiment and by
the views Of his father, or uncle, or
other relatives-sometimes regardless
of the evidence, but In following such
influences he is more often right than
wrong. A native Is also very firm in
his loyalty and attachments to his
friends, and II a lawyer or a party in
a lawsuit has his confidence he will
do his best to see that they have a
square deal. His political views are
also largely influenced by the elder
members of his family and by others
whom he believes to have had better
opportunities for reaching the truth
than himself. A Mexican has great
respect for knowledge and learning,
and will obediently follow the leaders
in whom he believes"
rs the native population increasing
In numbers and wealth."
In numbers, yes; in wealth, they
are about holding their own. They are
naturally a pastoral people, and in
that business are uniformly success
full. But as a rule they have not been
successful in speculation Or trade. They
are not progressive in Commercial or
industrial enterprises. There are,
however, a few exceptions; some of
the most successful and enterprising
merchants In the territory are Next
cans, but they are in the minority.
Ordinary natives can conduct a small
business all right, but in large com.

Comparisons OF the number Of per

familiar. especially that of 1901. where
not one person lost his life through

and three times as great with us as
with the English. Even these com

CURIOUS PENSION STATISTICS.
Uncle Sam Supports Relatives of Revo-
lutionary War Heroes.

Uncle Sam Supports Relatives of Revo-
1utionary War Heroes.
Some Of our pension statistics are
curious, says Success. For example,
we learn that there are still on the
rolls three pensioners Of the Revolu-
tionary War, which was brought to an
end over 12O years ago. Of pensioners
accredited to the War Of 1872, there
still remain 919, while of the Mexican
War no fewer than 1906 survive. OF
those accredited to the Revolutionary
War, one is a widow and two are
daughters.
The report shows that pension pay
ments are made to people residing in
every State and Territory in the Union
and in almost every known country on
the. globe. Among the States, Ohio
leads in the amount OF pension money
paid annually to it's citizens, with
Pennsylvania second, New York third
and Illinois and Indiana following
closely.
At the date of the report, there were
4,910 pensioners residing outside OF the
United States, and they drew $722,-
440.69 in the last fiscal year. Nearly
half of this amount went to persons
in Canada. Quarterly pension youch-
ers were sent besides to persons in
Mexico, South America, every country
in Europe, the Azores, the Barbados,
China, the Comoro Isles, East and
South Africa, Samoa, the Seychelles
Islands, Siam and st. Martin.
1t shows that the pension bureau
was busy office last year More than
26S,OO0 cases were passed upon, and
$4,000 certificates were issued. No
fewer than 108,114 applications were
rejected, Of which $1,000 were thrown
out on medical and $4,000 on legal
grounds.
