O) V t gaUjj gjtsfcvuw. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY. .. .SEPTEMBER S. 1B5 Tun Literary World o Boston pays its compliments to t!iclew York Nation in this neat style: 'The New York Nation has reached its twentieth birthday. When it comes fully of age, we trust it will add to its knowledge candor, and to its strength generosity, and to its virtue humility." The Illinois Slate Journal says that public improvements in hard times aro "a kind of socialism that will bear investigation,' and agrees that the idea should bo widely con sidered. Hard times of late years, have come to mean that one class gets all the money and locks it up. Hard times used to mean that every one was poor. The Oreyonian characterizes the work of the Walla Walla in sluicing at St Helens bar as "a stupendous achievement," and looks upon it as "a practical demonstration that a very small expenditure of money will open and keep open the rivers from Portland to the sea." It says "ex penditure of $3,000 to 810,000 in Ir. Gates' way will be ample, in any cir cumstances, to keep open a deep ship channel from Portland to Iho sea." The Oreyonian contrasts the work done by the Walla Walla and the attendant expense, with that of gov eminent operations, greatly to the advantage of tho former. An article in last Sunday's Oreyo nian on hydraulic mining argues that mining on the Snake annually sends a large amount of debris into the Columbia that will eventually in terfere with commerce. The article says among other things that "if tho Columbia shoals as much in the next Ave years as in the past five, our sea traflic will go to Astoria.' The arti cle goes on to say that congressional legislation should be invoked to stop hydraulic mining in Idaho, Montana and Washington, and the state legis lature petitioned to do the same thing in this state. The tenor of the argument is to the effect that what has happeued to the Sacramento may happen to the Columbia. The New York Times of the oth says: "Indications point to a many- sided light at the annual election of the Northern Pacific railroad com pany this month. It is unlikely, how ever, that any attempt will be made to displace President Harris. The fight will be made to gain a hold in the directory. The different faciions are desirous of securing sufficient influ ence in the board, either to have cer tain things done or to prevent certain things from being done. President Smith, of the O. 11. k N. company, it is stated, has proxies on S0,000 shares of Northern Pacific stock. Smith's friends say he has no ambition to be president of the Northern Pacific. Ho simply desires to prevent the con struction of the Cascades branch, which he claims would be a useless and expensive branch of the O. li & N. company.'' The coal mine riots at Bock Springs, Wyoming, last week wherein several Chinese were killed, may, it is thought, assume international im portance. Under article 111 of the Angell, Swift and Westcott treaty the United States guarantees to Chinese in tho various territories the same protection and jighls that citizens of the most favored nations have. It is held by legal attaches of the Chinese legation that even if the leaders of the mob in Wyoming are arrested and punished the Chinese govern ment will put in a claim for indemni fication, and that the break is liable to cost the United Stales many thous ands of dollars. It is hardly proba ble that the general government can make the territory of Wyoming pay damages. The amounts likely to be claimed would more than bankrupt Wyoming. Even it it is decided that tho United States must pay the bill the matter will have to come to con gress for an appropriation, and it will be the first case of the kind that has come nuder the treaty, and to that extent, outside of the monetary con sideration, is of great interest to those who look at it from any nation u point of view. The learned advocates and attor neys of the bar association, says the Current, will read able and exhaust ive treatises on tho majesty of law and the desirability of justice for all, but it is safe to say they will not ask that a single redundant word shall be plucked from the documentary languago that now scandalizes Amer ican legal practice. If a man say "funeral obsequies," a thousand ed itors hoot at him. If he "covenant, grant, promise and agree," or if he have "granted, bargained, sold, re leased, and confirmed, and by these presents do grant, bargain, sell, re lease, and confirm" then that man becomes "ripe," "brilliant," and "dis tinguished." Years ago a treasurer of Chicago had a leak in his accounts. A considerable amount of the city's money escaped, the sum being at least a million dollars. The lawyers got up an indictment as long as a serpent of the warmest clime. There were few possible ways of stealing that were not mentioned over and over in every count of that accusation. But when the time for trial came, tho in dictment was found to contain a "flaw," and there was not ouough money on hand to warrant the erec tion of a second structure of tho kind. The bondsmen were then pro ceeded against, but their legal aslon- ishmeut was great It was judicially determined that it was not their place to refund what the city could not even allege had been stolen. Petty thieves often elude ihc police in cities by running across-lots and hiding in the weeds. Great thieves find the rank, nnweeded garden of the law equally effective in saving them from tho penitentiary. The French juries arc selected with more care than are those of America. A list of those qualified to serve is first prepared by a committee which meets in each subdivision of the wards of the French cities. The Iwi is made from tho voters' register. By law French citizens upwards of 30 years of age and in full enjoyment of all civil rights are the only ones qualified. Public officials who have been dismissed from ofiscf, bank rupts, persons whose property ib held by trnstces, those unable to write tho French language, and servants or wages, senators, deputies, judges, priests and public school teachers are disqualified. The list prepared by the partial ward committee must be submitted for approval to the com mittee of the entire ward, which se lects the number to serve as jurors for tho ensuing year. The Paris court of assizes is supplied with a list of ju rors sufficient to servo for a year. On the first Monday of each mouth the president judge of the court draws by lot the names of thirty-six who are to serve the next term. Four names extra are drawn as supple mentary jurors. The drawing is done in court and the reasons for exemption arc considered at once. In some criminal cases the selection of jurors is not made in open court, but in the presence of the prosecuting attorney and tho attorney for the accused. No questions are asked as to whether they have expressed or formed an opinion of the prisoner's guilt or innocence. When the jury retires a forem.n, or "president," 13 elected and a verdict decided upon by a majority vote. The jury may accompany tho verdict by the find ing of extenuating circumstances, which in ordinary cases precludes the court from giving tho prisoner the full measure of puuLshmont In murder cases the court is thereby prevented from inflicting the death penalty.
