JERSEY JUSTICE.

We often hear mention of Jersey sustice.e rensrafry- in tif1ss way of SItfA iciiss. but when 1t comes to the trial of criminal cases some of the other States might we'll take lessons from New Jersey. In the recent trial of whitmore. for example. we are told that jury was empanelled within one hour after the prisoners arraignment, and that the States first six witnesses were examined during the first fore noon session of the court.
 This prompt action of court in criminal case leads The Brooklyn Eagle to compare the Jersey plan with that of New York. and its comments will apply to other States than it's own. -The New York practice" it says, ''of excluding men who have an opinion on the case is of long standing. It has, however, been modified in prac- tice since the days when trial judges supported lawyers for the defense in their effort to secure jurors ig- norant of the matter to come before then, with the result that they secured panels ignorant of nearly everything else as well as of the case in hand. That modification could well be carried further. until the waste of the time of our courts over minute ex- aminations into the state of the mind of jurors should be brought to an end The New Jersey promptness in dis patching murder trials is admirable and 1t has not been shown to work in- justice to prisoners put on trial for lives. If an amendment to our statute law is necessary to secure a like expe- dition in this state then the law should be so changed. But the judges who restrain the efforts of counsel to ex- tend trials of sensational cases for the sake of the newspaper notoriety result ing. promote justice. preserve the courts from that sort of familiarity which breeds contempt, and win the approval of thoughtful and discerning citizens. New Jersey justice is a good model for both our lawmakers and our courts to bear in mind"

Much winlaun.on Corn

Elba Clipper.
 From many sources we hear of corn being grown on the Williamson plan or some modification of it.. So far as we know, very few are sticking closely to the plan. Some have not found It convenient to do so, while others reel that they know how to improve on it. and are trying 1t as far as 1t suits them, and changing 1t where they see nt to change it.
 ing to put out the potash and phos- phate by itselt the time set by Wil- hamson, but put some meal with It. Others thought it ought to be started fertiIized lt srhen they planted. The folks who fertilized when they planted may have done right, but they were not using the Wiliianson plan them, or anything close to it. In fact they were going as far the other way as they could, for Williamson says that ferti- liking when planting is the cause of the South having to, buy corn in the West Then some are not using nitrate of soda. and others are departing from the plan on other points.
 The Clipper mentions Mir. Ferris's big experiment., where he Is trying four distances, four different amounts of fertilizers, etc, In last issue of the pa per. Besides him Mir. W. B. Perdue and Dr. J. D. Blue and MT W. M. near town. pr. Blue and Mir. Perdue are trying It thick. while Mir. King is trying his only moderately thick.
 Readers of The Clipper are familiar with the wonderful success Mir, Perdue had last year with the plan. { This Is largely responsible for so many trying g 1t this year. But Williamson plan or any plan will not work very well. if tn e weather Is very dry for the next month. If 1t is the Williamson plan will get such a black eye that 1t will be a sore topic in this section for long time to come. But if seasons are fairly good, those who have followed the plan care fully will have lots of corn to sell, and hold name in Coffee County, and few people will try any other way of grow ing corn in years to come. Five weeks will tell tha tale.

A Heavenly City.

New Orleans States.
 Berlin is said to be the quietest city in Europe Railway engines are not allowed to blow their whistles within the city limits. There is no loud hawling of hucksters. and the man whose wagon gearing Is loose and rattling Is subject to a fine. The courts have a large discretion as to fines for noise making. strangest of all piano playing Is regulated in Berlin Before a certain hour in the day. and after a certain hour in the night. the piano must be silent, in that musical city. Even during the playing hours fine Is imposed for mere pounding on the piano.

In the following editorial The Kan sas City Journal makes decided point against some of the reformers:

When the Des Moines orators who have been brought down to Kansas City, Kas., to testify to the tncom- parable merits of the commission form of government get back home they should endeavor to form the acquaint- ance of Mrs. W. F. Mitchell. president of the Des Moines Federation of Wom- ems Clubs, of whom they don't seem to have heard. In behalf of the wom- en of Des Moines, Mrs. Mitchell a week or so ago asked the city authorities for a blanket permit to all women residents to carry revolyers for self protection. "As 1t is now" said Mrs Mitchell (under the commission plan), "the law offers absolutely no protec- tion to women. This thing is so ter- ribie that something should be done immediately"
 To put 1t mildly it looks just a bit cheeky for Des Moines evangelists to be going to other cities trying to get them to adopt the system of gevern- ment under which their own city has achieve such an unenviable reputa- tion. Most unparalleled people will decide that Des Moines should do some reforming at home.

RECoGNTzrD THE SOUTH.

There is no real Southern man in President Roosevelt's cabinet. the near est approach being. Attorney General Bonaparte. who lives in Baltimore. The probable appointment of General Luke Wright, of Memphis, to succeed Mir. Taft as Secretary of War has brought the subject to the front. The following statement made by Ex-Pres- ident Cleveland and presented in The Advertiser April 3, 1898, is addressed to the people of the South and will be again read with interest by them:
 Westland, Princeton, N. J..
 March 5, 1898. My consideration and friendliness for the South was abundantly demonstrat- ed when. as President I insisted that a restored Union presents something more than pretense and fuisome profes- sion, and when I cheefully and with out question reinstated my Southern fellow citizens with participation in every public trust. I claim no credit for this conduct: while if afforded me personal qualification to do these have written Is simply Introductory to the further statement that my feeling of fTiendliness and consideration re- mains the same, and that no one would be more pleased than 1 to see through out our Southern country the prevail ence of such safe and conservative sentiments as would inspire confidence and promise the greatest possible pros perity. - ..,

Tn some respects the queerest news paper combination we know uf is The Emporia (Kan.) Times. and its editor or is 1t editress?-is the most original part of the combination. Mir.
