Most of tire small sized Democratic

alternatives between which Democracy
is now placed according to Mayor Har
rison. Free trade or failure says the
other wing of ths party. Such is Mie

Some parts of Eastern Washington

tho country over. In Western Ore

A recent article in the San Francisco
"Bulletin" in refert-nce to the tests
usually applied by courts to determine
the qualification of a person to serve
as a juror, is timely and to the point.
The nature of tho du'ies to be per
formed by a juryman demand that he
shall be a man of intellig nee. Not of
course, nrcessarily a man of high edu
cation or great attainments, but a man
who is capable of making a logical de
duction from the facts developed on
the trial and thus forming an intelligent
opinion' It is a matter of common
observation and experience that such
men generally rea1 ihe newspaper?,
are more or less familiar with current
events and usually "form an opinion up
pon the matters about which they read.
It thus happens that thest- men, nearly
always when called as jurors, especially
in criminal cases of importance, are re
jected because they have formed an
opinion in reference to the guilt or in
nocence of the defendant, and men who
are too indolent or ignorant to have an
opinion aie chosen in theirstend. There
is, however, u disposition upon the
part of many of the courts throughout
the country to depart somewhat from
the old methods and to organize juries
upon a much higher basis of intelli
gence. The "Bulletin" quotin" from
the Pittsburg "Leader" fays:
Judge Jackson, of Louisville, took
a stand on Saturday" that is note
worthy. He refused to release a man
from serving on the jury because he
had read the newspaper, and had so
formed an impression of the case. The
man said that although he had formed
an impression he thought he could
decide according to the law and the
evidence. The Judge's reason for not
excusing this juror was that he did not
wish to exclude intelligence from the
jury. The Judge certainly hit th nail
on the head that time. Intelligence is
Hiat we want on all juries. The in
telligent man is a safe person to trust
the decision of eves to. Nomatterif
he has heard of the subject at issue
previous to the trial, he will, in nine
cases out of ten, quietly sift the evi
denco that is placed before him, and
decide according to his best judgment.
Being a man of intelligence, he is of
course much more competent to judge
and is less like'y to be governed by
prejudice than his ignorant fellow-
juror. J lip latter is, by reason of his
religious bigotry, his social prejudices,
his private hobbies, and. his narrow,
mindednpss, a fit subject for a skillful,
flattering lawyer to twine around his
fingers, so that he may render a verdict
totally unwarranted by the law and
the Evidence. Intelligence on a jury
is a thing to be desired by everybody
except by a "blarneying" lawyer who
has a poor case.
This tendency toward a more liberal
system in the selection of juries pro
ceeds somewhat, no doubt, from the
necessities of the case; but at the
bottom it has its foundation in the fact
that honest intelligent men hold their
opinions subjpet always to tho in
fluence of evidence. It is only the ig
norant man whose opinion is fixed and
unalterable. Of course there is in this-,
as in all things, dinger in extremes.
But there is a medium clearly
distinguishable and easy to bo attained.
This medium is happily reached by
Judge Jackson and it is the basis up
on which the intelligent administration
of justice demands that juries should
be formed.
Although it has not been a very
long time since the world was startled
and horrified by the terriablo. disaster
of the burning of the Newhall House
at Milwaukee public interest in the
subject has almost entirely disappeared.
There is however a fair piospect that
the legal investigation into the origin
and cause of the fire will be thorough
and exhaustive. The coroners inquest
held shortly after the fire was not very
thorough or reassuring but the trial of
Scheller for setting fire to tho building
promises to make some amends for the
shortcoming of the coroners inquest.
There seems to be but little doubt that
this man 'deliberately started the fire
with the exiiress j-urpo-e of burning
the building. This lit did in order
that he might thereby secure a few
hundred dollars insurance upon a small
stock of liquors which he kept in the
house. If he did this, he ought to be
made to s'ufler as many deaths as was
caused by tin burning of that ill fated
hotel.
The '.'New York World" takes a
rather gloomy view of the position of
the Democratic partv on the tariff
question. In its opinion that party
must fight out this question in it's own
ranks before it can hope to win in the
contest of 1SS4. Sam Randall s dick
ering, on this question is not a settle
ment of the differences and the little
sincerity there is left in the party is
beginning to assert itself much to the
discomfort of the Hon. Samuel and
his time-serving followers. Insinceri
ty on the tarilF question, as on all
others, must end somewhere, and sin-j
cerity must begin. But there is little
ground for hope that fliis sincerity on
the part of Democratic politicians will
begin in lime to cave the partv. from
Jjfeat in 1884.
suiDoiTS or riumc ltcvts.
A few days ago Carter H. Hvrrison
was elected for the third time Muyor
of Chicago. He was the Democratic
candidate, was supported by the cheap
whisky association, representing 5,000
saloonsj and received 10,000 majority.
His great "success has made him a big
man, and he is now understood to be
posing for the Domocratic nomination
for the Presidency. This may account
for his plain speech at the banquet of
the Iroquois club in Chicago last Fri
day night. While others were dealing
in platitudes and equivocations ho
talked in a most direct and downright
way. When he declared that the
Democratic party would meet "dire
disaster" if it did not inscribe "protec
tion" on its banners; the assertion was
received with surprise and dissatisfac
tion; but there seems to have been no
one possessed of sufficient courage to
controvert him.
This episode is an indication of thp
very unpleasant predicament with re
spect to the tariff in which tho Demo
cratic party finds itself. It may, in
deed, be said that Mayor Harrison is
not a man of any great importance in
the party, and his ambition to be its
candi late for the Presidency may be
scouted. But this will not dispose of
the burning question.
In December next a congress will
meet, in which the Democrats will
have a great majority. In the contest
for the speakership, already in progress,
this question is uppermost. It will
result in drawing the lines moro dis
tinctly than ever between the "revenue
tariff" and "protection" wings of the
parly, and in precipitating n split that
will very probably bring disaster in
18S4. The free traders are actively
canvassing for Mr. Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, for speaker, " or they would be
willing to accept Mr. Cox of New
York; while the protectionists are using
their best endeavors for Mr. Randall,
reinforced by considerable numbers
from the south, a section which hither
to has been strenuous for free trade.
But there is a great body of Democrats
in congress who refuse to yield the
point. They have declared war on the
tariff law enacted at the last session,
are on the record al pledged to bring
about "real revenue reform," and are
supported by thp greater part of the
Democratic press. To all appearances
the views of the two wings are utterly
irreconcilable. Were it an ubstiact
question it might be igncred entirely,
or passed over with some phrases of
doubtful meaning; but since it affects
in a direct way the largrst and most
varied interests, neither side will be
content with nothing less than posi
tive declarations in favor of its own
views.
In the manufacturing states, certain
Democratic journals sound the warn
ing given by the Mayor of Chicago at
the Iroquois banquet. Thus the Pitts
burg "Post" tells tho Democrats "who
propose to meddle with the tariff at
tho next ression," that by so doing
"they will be held responsible for dis
turbing the business of the country
and .very possibly precipitating a panic
at the outset of the Piesidcntial cam
paign." It says further: "If such a
dance is proposed 1)3' Messrs. Carlisle,
Morrison, Herd and Beck, just for the
fun of the thing, and to give them op
portunity to fire off free trade speeches
and commit the Democratic majority
of the house to such theories, the
holding of a Democratic national con
vention next year to nominate candi
dates for President and Vice President
may as well be omitted. It will be a
very useless ceremony."
The question will not trouble the
Republican party so much, because
that party, through force of circum
stances twenty years ago, was com
mitted to the policy of protection; and
though there are many Republicans
who are not protectionists, yet It can
not be denied that the protective sys
tem as it now stands is the work of
that party, or that the party, through
its authorized utterances, is committed
to defence and support of the system.
If it be asked why these Republicans
have not gone over to the Democratic
party to secure tariff reform in accord
with their views, tho answer is that
the Democratic party for many years
has been tring to dodge the issue. It
has pretended to favor a tariff on the
basis of revenue, but has always been
controlled by the protectionists, so that
when the legislative power ha? been
in its hands it has done nothing to
wards keeping its pledge. Its study
has been to "straddle" the question.
It may try to do so again, but it will
not succeed, because the Republicans
will push it on one side, and the free-
traders in their own ranks will push it
on the other. What happened during
the las', month of the Presidential con
test of 18S0, when nothing was heard
in tho great states whose votes are
decisive but discussion of the tariff
question, is an indication of the whole
course of the contest of 1884, "Ore
