ra She gattg gtffonan. ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY MAHCH. 22.18S4 THE J I'll Y SYSTEM. The jury system is simply with us a lingeringvideuco of the marvelous conservatism -of the Teutonic people, and especially of the Anglo-Saxon branch. In England, when the judi ciary depended upon the crown it was a bulwark between the citizen and a power which was really absolute, when it was applied through th courts upon a oitizen. It was a jury of the vicinage and it was a jury of peers. It was the sole barrier between the citizen and crown or the judges of the crown. The in quest by a jury of the vicinage, at once jurors and witnesses, sitting upon an accused neighbor, was a fea ture which early disappeared, and, in the rules of the exolusion of intelli gence, the system has gone to the op posite extreme. In America, with an elective j udiciary, directly dependent upon the people, there is no need for a jury as a cushion between power and the.citizen. In cities, where it is sometimes asserted that lings get possession of public affairs, it is conceivablo that honest men might occasionally need some such barrier against injustice, but it is precisely in cities that such barrier would bo ineffectual, and there that rings would probably ap peal to the jury system as a way to lay the responsibility for injustice off upon an irresponsible part of the judicial machinery. Under any other judiciary system than the elective, it is impossible to conceive how the jury could I5e need ed as a safeguard for the citizen. Where governors change every four years and legislatures change every two years, no system of appointment could be devised which would not leave judges so closely dependent upon popular power as to render it unnecessary for that purpose. About the most that can bo said for it is that the judgment of twelve good men and true is better than the judgment as to facts of any learned lawyer fit to be a judge. That a juror shall be a freeholder or a householder has proved no safeguard against ignor ance and loafers in the jury box. While good juries can still be had in country districts and small towns, they cannot often be had in large cities. The question is new: How long will" conservatism wrestle with the patent evils of this system? The administration of law is everywhere a mockery, a sham, and an injustice. Where justice is a failure the respon sibility is laid off to be borne by the irresponsible part of the judioial ma chinery. "It was the jury," and that is the end of it. The vilest criminal is acquitted in the clearest case. "It was the outrageous verdict of the jury," and it must bo assumed that the verdict was honestly rendered, or if it is openly charged that it was otherwise, there is no responsibility and no means of reaching the case. The jury can be made to bear all the sins of the entire machinery of justice and bear them comfortably; for, when the jury disperses, there is an end of it It is a convenient scape to bear all sins off into the wilder ness. As ic is, the jury system is a failure, it is an utterly irresponsible scape for the failures and shortcom ings and misdeeds of the entire ma chinery of justice. VENTILATING BED3. The London Lancethos heard with satisfaction .that a ventilating bed quilt has been invented, which it un derstands to be a perforated coverlet, with the holes filled with some sub stance that will let vapor go through, and that has been tested and works to a charm. This fills a long-felt want. Our unventilated beds are too much like the woodchuck's hole, leaving our noses the only ventilator, while the body exudations are con fined in the bedclothes. This may do for the woodchuck in his weather sig nal Eervice, but human beings are not woodchucks. A benevolent journal has inter viewed leading New York phyeician on the need and utility of this inven tion, and he pronounces it a big thing in saving life. He says that beds are the chief cause of death, and proves it by the fact that most people die in bed. .This is the proof of statistics, and they can .not lie. Said this med ioal scientist: When we consider how many folks die in bed, there can be no doubt that our beds are terribly unhealthy. He demonstrated further that beds are the cause of death by the unde niable faot that in civilized countries people spent as much as a third of their time in bed, aud they die. Put the two together, and we have the cause and effect Said he: Do we not all spend jicarly or quite one-third of our time in bed, and during nearly all of that time are we not helpless in sleep death's counterfeit? Helpless are we, then, to detect the bad effect of sleeping in Ijcuiudtca ueua as u msiQlOUSlV "ger us: helpless to remedy 9ts; helpless to initiation and airing our he pointed ided to know mattress beds Lwith blankets or if nature ler creations. But his Stron C statifltinnl Tvunf. is that most people die in their beds, and, therefore, that the bods are the cause. Obviously we must quit beds if we would live forever. But ther is another fact bearing on this ques tion. Behold the horse; how well he sleeps, and how fresh and regularly he rises. He never complains of catching cold in bed. It is because he sleeps with his shoes on; whereat we wear our shoes through the day and pull them off when we go to bed, exposing our feet, thus made sensitive to the chill. How can we expeot to live if we do this violence to nature? With shoes on and o porous bedquiltj people migHt avoid dying till their time comes. But if they will go on sleeping in beds, when they see that most people die in them, they must expect to share the common fato. The census report for 1880 contains the most elaborate and valuable sta tistics of railroads ever gathered by any cotmtry in the world. The cost of all the railroads in the country and their equipment is put at some thing over $4,530,000,000; their aggre gated funded debt reaches $2,390,000, 000, or as muoh as the total interest bearing national debt and the munici pal debt of the country combined, and their income is $661,000,000 per year, of whioh $527,000,000 goes for expenses and $134,000,000 to the profit account. These roads are owned by 300,000 persons, a muoh larger num ber than is generally supposed. The number of employes is 419,000. The Seattle papers have opened out against the Northern Pacific land grant and demand its forfeiture. It took our Seattle contemporaries a long time to realize the ones idedn ess of unearned railroad grants, but now they are atoning for their late con version by the most zealous denunci ation of the proposed plan. Advices from Vienna state that there is a strong movement on foot in the Province of Galicia in favor of emigration to Amerioa. The magis tracy of East Galicia have unani mously petitioned the governor of the province to prohibit the sale of pas senger tickets for American ports.
