A BLOW AT TEE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

A jury commission composed IF the sheriff and two persons appointed by the
court as proposed in a bill introduced by Senator Wakeee would make the
elected representative oil the people an impoent fgurehead. In effect it would
be exactly the same as if the court itself selected the jurors an arrangement
that would at nee destroy the grand jury safeguard for accused citizens, that
would do away with the fundamental principle of the grand inquest That inst-
tuition was the outgrowth of centuries o experience The right of the citizen to
have charges against him examined by a jury Of his peers before he can be
crlninaIy prosecuted was a hard won right for the people. The Wakelee bill
would hnvahdate it 1t would convert the jury of peers into judicial commits

when he sent the reports to the Legislature al its session latn night his refer

THE SALARIED DEPUTY.

A good feature of the bill, as passed by the Senate last night increasing tn.
salaryo OF the Railway Reformatoy superintendent by $500, is that the provision
for a s. 500 deputy al eliminated. There are good reasons for making the small
salary increase, The institution needs the services of a hrstclassm man and
men o tht STAMP command god salaries The custom of the Legislature in
the. past in providing departmental heads has been to furnish a deputy, at a
lesser salary to 10 the actual work. This curious arrangement is observable in

What is the largest word in the Ian

The honors in English appear to rest
between OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

word scoring twenty-eight letters and
ten syllables as against twenty-five LETT
tiers and eleven syllables in the latter.

"Cravat," or rather the French "crav-

French borrowed the word for the new
neckwear introduced among them in
imitation of the linen scarfs worn by
the Croatian m~ercenaries whom they
saw during the thirty years. war. In
English "cravat' has ranged in mean

varied also in pronunciation, both Pope

Writings adventure is Of no value
for future emergencies. Mr.. Spear Is
quoted as follows:
I'VE have methods by which men
can escape from our submarines, and
they can always be used without dan
ger. Down from the top OF every
submarine that we build descend at
least three portfolios. These extend
into the large rooms on the deck OF
the submarine. and the rooms are
separated by bulkheads.
We may suppose that the water
Is rising rapidly In the hull OF the

up to the men. who are as near the
top as they can get. They promptly
stand up and group themselves
around the different portfolios In the
