The Juror Explained.
This is the story of a court scene
as related by the Fulton Sun:
"When the jury had been sworn to
answer questions, the attorney, after
asking if any of the jurors were re.
lated in any way to the defendant Or
prosecuting witness, asked if any
were related to any Of the lawyers in
the trial case. One old man stood up,
and as he yanked at his long whiskers
said: Wall, judge, I don't know just
about that, but one of them lawyers
and me married the same woman"
What relation is the juror to the
lawyer? Those who take pleasure in
figuring out relationship might work
it out. You know, such a kinship is
impossible in South Carolina, but it is
the only State where it is. South
Carolina should be proud of the dis
tinction.
But what has all this to do with The
Idler's park? Why, just this: It is
evidence of what a great State we
live in and how proud we should be
and it should stimulate US to beautify
our city and build a park we would
all be proud of. See the point? Know
you do. Get busy. The Idler.

n formal statement by Governor

in formal statement by Governor
Hughes.
No charges of corruption are
brought against Senator Cobb per-
sonally, but behind him were arrayed
Timothy l.. Woodruff, William Barnes,
Jr., Speaker Wadsworth, and all the
elements of machine Republicanism
that have fattened on insurance cor
ruption and the shameless sale OF
laws and oflices-all the political rot
t,nncss tnat has made New York a
byword for years The inference is
that the majority of the Senate Will
kill the Hughes mCasLr,s Of reform
and endeavor to wHitewash the brib-
cry scandals.
Such action, with Governor Hughes
not in the race means certain defeat
for the Republicans this fall, and If
the reactionary element is to control
the party richly deserves defeat. If
the Cleveland Democracy were in
control this result might be received
with a degree of equanimity, but with
"Fingy" Corners, w. r. Hearst and
Boss" Murphy of Tammany Hall in
control it is difficult to see where
political virtue would gain anything
except in rebuking the Woodruff
Barnes gang.
The great majority of the plain peo-
pie of New York, however, are ar
dent supporters of Governor Hughes
Some of the Senators whose person
tal inclinations led them into the ma
chine camp are likely to hear in nc
uncertain tones the condemnation
which their constituents will visit up

again stand for reelection in orde

What the Newspapers Of Vermont
and Other States Are Saying
About Topics Of Interest to
Journal Readers.
A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
BARRE Times.)

llihtosJ
"St. Johnsbury Is to have a paid fire
department and will add chemical
engine to its apparatus. The paid
department scheme can be eliminated
in Montpelier, but chemical engine
should be purchased for the volun-
teer experimentation Argus.
If the contemporary will pardon an
outside suggestion, we will state that
chemical engine is not a great adj
vantage to a fire service unless there
is paid, or constant, fire depart
ment along with it. The chief value
of a chemical engine apparatus is
the promptness with which it is us
ed. A chemical engine is useless af
ter fire has got good start. 1t is
only in the first stages of fire that
chemicals can be thrown with effec
tiveness. Therefore, the chemical en-
CINE must be ever-ready to start from
the station on the stroke of the bell;
and, in order to be able to start at
such a time, 1t is necessary that the
engine be constantly manned and
with fire horses so located as to en-
able a quick hitch. If it should be-
come necessary to wait for volun-
teer department to assemble before a
chemical engine could be taken from
! the station, practically all the effec-
/ tiveness of the apparatus would be
! lost, and the chemical in most of the
instances would be found utterly in
adequate for the needs, the fire hav-
ing progressed to the water stage,
when nothing but water in copious
streams is sufficient. This, of course
has no reference to the slight chin
ney fire calls, when volunteer with
hand chemical is good enough.
If, therefore, Montpelier should pur-
chase a chemical engine and not es-
tablish a paid fire department, il
would be waste of money; but if g
chemical should be installed and one
or two men be kept in constant at.
tendance, with horses, there would
be first-class fire protection for fires
in the incipient stage.

Walked Into Air Hole With Dynamite.

G. Il. Matava walked into an air
