DEAD MEN on THE jury.

The Board of Aldermen of Water
bury, Conn, have approved the jury list
submitted to them several nights ago.
1t contains the names of 1a2 men. and
from them tho county jury commits
sianers Will select half as many 10 do
jury duty. The American has found
the names of two persons who died
some time before the list was made UP
and still others who are esteemed in
the community" and who are "anN-
ious," as it says, Ito serve as Jurors
Why not? Is 1t not true that dead
I men would do as well In the jury box
as many of the so-called live ones who
are anxious TO serve as Jurors? May
it not he true that in their ashes live
their wonted fires? Have we not all
known dead mon who would make
equally as competent Jurors as those
of the professional sort who are fire.

If there we're 100 dead men on IN

a EITHER the Duke nor the Duchess

and the story that they contem
plate a visit 10 Canada and to tho
United States in the fall has been
there the least probability OF the duke
succeeding Lord Grey as Governor
General Of the Dominion. There arc a
number of reasons why he should not
accept the appointment. In the first
place, he has led Il sinEularly busy life,
and now at the age OF sixty ia anxious
10 spend tho remainder of his days

duchles of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha,
which cams 10 him By inheritance.
generalship II IS difficult to conceive.
And then. too. the same objection APP
plies to the appointment Of the duke
as GoYernor-General of Canada that
has been raised against the proposal
10 nominate a prince OF the blood as
Viccroy of ireland or of India. namely,
that as such he would be Obliged 10
execute the orders OF the Cabinet in
London. that Is to say. OF the Secretary
OF state for the Colonies no matter
how distastcful they might be. and
would thus bring upon royalty in the
Dominion the odium that should be re
stricted to the home government. and
impair that loyalty and devotion TO the
crown, and that popularity of the dy-
nasty, which are the principal bond
of union between the colonies and the
mother country. True, Lord Beacons-
field sent as Governor-Gsnerait TO Cam
ada the present Btike OF Argyll. that
is TO say. Queen Victories son-in-law.
But the duke had not at that time
succeeded 10 his fathers honors: was
in point of law mere commpncr, and
never permitted his relationship TO the
royal family 10 interfere with the ex-
erclse of his political opinions. More

serious speech TO the world since his
return from Africa when he appeared
before the Nobel Prize Committee yes
torday at Christiania and thanked that
body for The honor conferred upon him
IN the gift OF the Nobel prize in l9OS.
All that the Colonel has said hereto

been mere fustian-intended solely and
only to glorify the Colonel in the eyes
of his auditors, or else to return the
compliments OF people who entertained
him. In this speech, however, he Sc
riously addressed himself to a serious
subject and spoke with earnestness
and power.
The peace plan proposed by the
Colonel-if it may be called plan
is neither original nor novel. 1t Isl
merely tho adaptation of existing
agencies for the prevention of war to
tho better assurance of peace amons
Gil nations. The Colonel thinks that
The Hague Tribunal offers the best
agency for keeping the worlds peace,
and he wants the functions Of that
Tribunal so enlarged as 10 include the
arbitration of practically all the diff
culties which may arise between ma
lions. While this is beings done, he
would foster arbitration treaties be-
tween the great powers to re-
duce the possibilities of conflict and
to prevent precipitate clashes of arms
He would also reduce, or at least i'm
mediately limit, the naval armament o
the Powers. This. he says can onl
be done when all the nations of cart
are sincere in their desire to promot

The Colonel went a step further. how
ever, and advocated not only q leagu

This is good sound sense, and il

Bishop natly opposed the demands
