thence in sheets through the collecting
and folding apparatus to the delivery.
If desired the sheets may he parted to
gether. The press is practically self
threading, which can be said of no other
similar mnchine.
The folding apparatus is sturdy sim
plicity itself, and never requires adjust
ment when once set. Papers may lie de
livered in half or quarter sheet folds as
desired, and are automatically counted
out in bundles of twenty-five. The ma
chine ha been generously designed, ac
cessibility and compactness being the
chief aims of its designer. It may be
changed from four ti eight pages or
from eight to four pages in a moment.
It has many other technical features that
the'general reader may not understand,
but which at once attract the attention
of pros.-nien.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST FOREIGNERS
BY THE JURY COMMISSION.
Attorney O'iSeUl THnU a tittle T-itt That
"Will Interest Xt Only TVaterbnry, Bnt
People of th Whole Suite 'vriiy the Lw
Shonld Be Ttepealed.
To the Kditor of the Pemocsat :
1 desire to call attention to the, work
ings of the act of the peneral (Kiembly,
)assed tliis year, for the selection of
jurors, and to show what an outrage
ously partisan uieauro it is. It pro
vides that the selectmen shall eleet dou
ble the number of jurora to which the
te,wn is entitled; that the judges of the
superior court thall appoint two Jury
commissioners in each of tho cwntiei,
who, with the clerk of the cuty, nhall
erase one-half of the mamec aelected by
the selectmen to rve as jurors; and
these ure to uot as jurors for one year.
This statute is auhttantiallT a re-enact
ment of similar provisio passed by the
general assembiv in law, and which
emained fs law until IRfHi, when the act
wus repealed. It was claraaed tat the
jurors selected under the law prior to
lssn were inferior men. But it was
found that abuses by the pelectmen and
jury commissioners were so ftrave and so
ilivious that in lhKh tne jury commls
ioners were ablithed. and the method of
selc ting jurors by the old process at a
convention of the aelectmen, grand juror
una msnces ot the peace was restored.
To show what the ahuses were undef
jury cominissioaers I rh-e you the follow
ing lists, taken from the Warerburr
American. I examined the files of the
American very carefully tar the months
of May and July every year from laa t
lMi. both included. I examined these
months becmie the selectmen, under the
the law of lSSn, were obliged to select
the names of the jurors choen by them
in the month of May. and the jury com
missioners were obliged to strike out
one-half of the nr.mes on the second
Monday in July. It will ho seen from
these lists what confidence the select
men ana jury commissioners uaa lu lor-
eigners lor juror:

The law in 18S0 and following that year
provided for twenty-two names in the
Jnry box. but this year the law has been
changed and we arc now entitled to have
forty-four names in the box. The select
men therefore aro required to select
eighty-eight names, and from this list
forty-four names are stricken out; aad
inn it now they dirt ft thi year, me
selectmen of H'aterbury selected tho fol

Now, when we take into account the
fact that when eighteen jurors are taken
out of the different boxes, and that only
two jurors are summoned from each
tow u, wo can well nnderstaad what little
chance there is for t here being more thau
one or two foreigners on any Jury walch
it is possible to draw from the different
boxes. But this is not all the difficulty
we have, for if by chance there should
be a cause on trial between a foreigner
and a native horn, and there should he a
foreigner on the jury, tho counsel acting
for the native born would challenge that
foreigner jnst as sure as death. 1 have
known this to occur tiaies without num
ber. This afternoon I looked over the
docket of the district court, which was
printed the beginning of the January
term, 1805, and found that there were
f44 cases all told on this docket, and
that of these there were foreigners, plain
tiffs or defendants, 3S3 in number; in
other words, that about two-thirds of the
parties to the actions in said court aro
foreigner.
I also examined the jury docket espe
cially, and found that there are sixty
three cases on this docket ; and that
forty, out of these had a plaintiff or de
fendant who was a foreigner.
I write this article because I have been
present mow for more than thirty years
annually at the meeting of the" select-
men. justices of the peace and grand jur
ors when they were assembled as a
board for the selection of jurors;
and I do not remember a single in
stance when those present did not con
sent, although sometimes I remember
when they had the power to do otherwise,
to putting on an equal number from tho
two elements native and foreign bora.
There are certainly jnst as good men, as
hottest men and as competent men among
the foreign born in this city as among
the native born, and many times it is of
very great importance that foreigner
should he in the jury box. For some un
aecoun'aole reason the native horn will
not believe a foreigner opon his oath
when he is contradicted by the narlTe
born ; and in matters of opinion, especisr
ly in relation to values the opinion of fhej
foreigner is of little or o account in the
presence of an opinion of a native born,
so that in trials, for instance as to the
value of real estate, when men like Ed
ward 1.. Frisbte, Samuel Chapman, T. L.
Curtissnndll.il. Tech, all good men,
testify to the ralue of real estate in
Urooklyu, if every man. woman and
child in Brooklyn were of a contrary
opinion al! put together againt these
men, they would he outweighed in the
presence of a native born Jury. This
ought not to be thus.

When Jean Jacques started to reno
vate his orera house he did not for a
iiioinerd icidi -e that h- had a nionater
project on his hands, but Jean is aceu
1 1 eued to handling such projects with
success (.ml always remembers there it
no such word as can't. A detailed des-.-i.pl
ion of tho housn it is impossible
- l to get. hip u i si-fcient to say for
ila- ,i''v of ibc hene that It will' be a
thing of H'ai:ty. The P:mocrat wants
iis readers to first realize that beauty of
the interior before i; attempts to describe
it.
Through the kindness of Manager
!ao;ues. hwerer, and the courtesy
of the scenic artit. William I.
Hamilton of New York, the PEMOCRAT
1. allowed in descri'rfi the stage settings
and the ari-tic work performed by Mr
Hamilton. There was no doubt in the
reporter's mind snd there should be no
doubt in the minds of rhe patrons of tho
liou..e. thai it is def of the. best equipped
.-;:i.es in New Eagisnd. fH the ilrst place
all the old scenery has been reinoxed to
the auditorium. Every )iece is new,
even to the frtme work. There arc
thirteen new sets. The exteriors consist
of wood, garden, landscape, rocky pass,
horir.on. ancient and modem streets.
Ilre is a full palace ret, fancy and plain
chambers, prison. kitchen and ofllce sets.
The tormentors axe new as are the bor
der, and ihe full set of foliage are re
markable for their beauty.
'Hie new curtain must be seen to be ap
preciated. It is of heavy nlle green plush
and the gold embroidery, which is
worked on by hand, completes a curtain
whi h for magnificence cannot be ex
e.'lled. fine may appreciate ir. more fully
when it is known that the curtain alone
co--, nearly fcl.OOO. The color scheme
blends and harmoniie with the colors
and decorations of the house..
Tie palace et, which baa never been
in the sioek of the houe before, consists
of a backing and three ejj drops. It is
an arrangement of raiis'ii e marble col
umns, draped in richly colored hangings.
Ilie fancy chamber i verr light aud
delicate, in bhv and gold, fi the Louis
t lie Fourteenth style. The gothic is '
made of colors dark and rich, of warm
design. A principal feature of the new
sols-is that the large number of pieces Can
be arranged in one hundred different
ways. Ihe theatre can run a whole sea
sou without the patrons of the house
seeing the samo shaped setting
twice.
I he electric plan is another important
factor. It is the Beron system which
has given such success throughout the
country. It v. as put in by the inventor
and can be marked on tho same principal
as j;a.s.
'I lie ushers well also greet the patrons
with handsome new costumes. With
the utage widened and every seat in the
house a good one there should be feii
eral saiiatactlou. Artist Hamilton is to
remain here another month as he has
many little details to complete. He has
uccoiuplishad a great work already and
Manager Jacques feels as tickled over
it as a boy does orer Ms first
trousers.
