in dismissing the petit jury OF
the November term "Wednesday,
Judge Hamilton spoke extemporane-
ously upon the purpose of the jury
system Of the courts Of the United
States, says the Ft. Madison Demo-
crat. He stated that Lee county was
given to free discussion of the ex-
pense of the jurors in the local dis
trict courts and that often the real
value Of the system was not appre-
ciated The right of the jurymen, he
explained, was second only to the
right Of the ballot in the fundamen-
tails of American citizenship and In
depreciation Of the laws Of the land
and their application. His remarks
we're listened to most attentively and
with the greatest appreciation.
