A PLAN TORAISE THESTAND.
ARD OF JURIES.

States Attorney Owens proposal in
Baltimore TO have commissioner ap-
pointed for the selection of citizens
TO serve as jurors in the Baltimore
courts seems to be a step in the right
direction. There is no doubt that there
are men serving on iuries throughout
the country at the present time who
should never be allowed to take any
part in court matters.
The intelligence of the average Juror
is at times deplorable, and hundreds
serve during the year who have pre-
conceived views and sympathy for Grim
mails. while cssionaIy a convict Is
found in the ranks Justice has a hard
road to travel with such men in the
box.
Again. citizens who sometimes meet
nearly every qualification are found
to be physically defective. Deaf men
have no place on our iuries. A COM
missioner whose duty it would be to
prepare names for selection bv the
supreme bench might greatly raise the
standard of intelligence in the Jury
box--a contamination much to be de-
sired

A SONG FOR MARCH.

Who sings Of March must sing the mad
Lone man-at-arms, the Strdggler clad
In motley white and brown
Who in the wake Of winters flight
Turns now 10 Caper, now 20 fight
10 Half hector and half clown
One moment from clOud-capped hill
He blaTeS his slogan, wild and shrill,
The next, with gusty laughter,
Outsteps the sunbeams as they dance,
And leers, and flouts with backwa I'd
glance,
The maid who follows after
o, sing the maid.
The Hght-heart maid
Who follows, follows after.
He fees her down the leEGthening days;
She follows him through woodland ways,
Ger hills and wales between,
And sets for mark OF victory
On every bush and hedge and tree
Her nag Of tender green;
And when her breath hath spiced the
night
With promise Of the warm delight
OF young June'S love and laughter,
No other song many true hearts sing
But Speed thy passing, March, and
bring
The maid who follows after,
The light-heart maid,
The lily maid.
Who follows. follows after"

UNWILLING OF JOHN C.. CAL.
HOUN STATUE.

Today, with appropriate exercises.
the unwilling of the statue of John c.
Calhoun of South Carolina takes place
in StatUary Hall and the Senate and
House accept the statue with speeches
BETTING the occasion. It is an event
that deserves more than passing notice
and one, beyond question that the his
torian Of the future will find of no
mean significance.
Times have changed in a degree we'll
nigh inexpressible since the DAYS when
John c. Calhoun was looked on BY a
large share of the people of this coun-
try as an enemy of the republic: when
he was abhorred by many for his atti-
tude on notification; and when Andrew
Jackson by his frmness prevented dis
ruption of the Union, long before the
days of the civil war.
Il is now perceived by thinking men
Of al sections that Calhoun, mistaken
though he may have been as 70 certain
doctrines of State rights, was one of
the great men, one OF the great patriots,
of the early days Of the Republic.
The placing of his statue in Statuarv
Hal is eminently fitting It points to
the wiping out of sectionalism. As no
hand Is now raised against Calhoun
having a place in the list of figures of
great men who stand in the Capitol.
so it viii not be long until Lees statue
there viii stand with no voice opposing
it and the statues of other leading
Southerners, including perhaps. JEFF
ferson Davis.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, in
a speech in the Senate TODAY, in
magnificent tribute to Calhoun. said:
We do well TO place here a statue Of
Calhoun / would that ne could stand
with none but his peers about him and
not elbOWed and crowded by the tenn
pOrarily notorious and the llUstriOuS
OBSCURE his statue Is here OF right.
He was really great man, one of the
great figures OF our history. He was
the greatest man South Carolina has
given TO tine nation That in itself IS
no slight praise, for from the days Of
the LaurenseS, the Plnckneys, the
RutledgeS, from the time Of Moultrie
and Sumter and Marion 10 the present
day. South Carolina has always been
conspicuous in peace and war for the
force, the ability, and the character
OF the men who have served her and
given 10 her name its high distinC-
ton IN our history
Senator Lodge. too. well pointed out
that the names of the Presidents who
occupied the White House during most
OF the days of the three great Senators,
Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, have fad
ed, but the names of these illustrious
men will live on.

THE LOSS OF AN IDEAL
STATESMAN.

1t was typical of the character Of
representative lanes Brock Perkins to
request, on his death bed, that the
House Of which he was a distinguished
member continue its work and ignore
the custom of adiourning out of respect
TO the dead.
This request serves TO recall that tie
last appearance of Mr.. Perkins on the
floor Of the House was when he was in
charge of the diplomatic appropriation
bill. Immediately thereafter Mr.. Per
kins went to his death bed. Evidently
he was graphing with a fatal disease
during his last public appearance. but
with that same fidelity to duty which
has marked his career he disposed Of
the work demanding his attention be
tore he surrendered himsNf 20 the
physicians who were to battle for his
life.
Mr.. Perkins measured up to the
highest standard Of craftsmanship. He
commanded the respect of every mem
her Of the House. He was peculiarly
fitted for the craftsmanship of the Com
lnittee of Foreign Affairs, and because
of his knowledge of conditions abroad
his bills showed careful study and wera
accepted by the House as the best eff
forts OF an unusually competent chair
man.
Mr.. Perkins viii be sadly missed in
the House. In his own quiet way he
welded considerable influence. He was
content to serve his country and his
State without osteutation OF noise and
he leaves behind him a record Of which
every member of the House might be
proud

The settlement is of much wider i'm
portanee than an adjustment of diff

alone. It points to the fact that ad-
Bustments will probably be reached on
other roads, not alone in this territory
but in other Iarts of the country. For
months, there has been widespread fear
OF a general railroad strike arising
from the fact that the railroad en-
Ployes have long perceived the cost of
living rising higher and their wages
not rising to meet the increase in Iiv-
ing cost. Not all danger from this sit
nation has by any means been averted,
but the settlement of the Baltimore
and Ohio trouble appears to be the
entering wedge to a disposal of the
railroad wage question for the whole
country.
