CONFINEMENT OF JURORS.
One of tho innln obstacles that
both the prosecution and defense
in the Thaw trial have tu contend
against in securing n Jury is the
dread and positive horror tlmt the
talesmen of being made practically
prisoners. They are living in sump
tons suites and have the liest the
land affords as far as eatables are
concerned bill they are deprived of|
the dearest tilling of all, liberty.
TJiero Is no qttostlon of the
propriety as well as the power of]
the trial Judge to segregate the
Jury the moment each Juryman is |
sworn. In this case Justice Pit/.er
aid is Impressed by tin? gravity
of Wie trial and the possible 111 ef?
fect, upon the public should anything
happen, through a falluro on the |
pnrt. of tho court to exercise every
precaution to Justify ixipular suspic?
ion that there is ?ine law for tihe
rich ami another for the poor.
One talesman told the Judge that
though ho was sure Iho would be
able to give a verdict strictly In
accordance with the evidence undpr
normal conditions of service he fear?
ed that the prolonged confinement
threat on ed would "get on to his
nerves" and unmake hlrj as' an
efficient court officer. That both the
prosecution and defense realize the
possible effect, of ibis confinement
is shown lu their examination of
the talesmen with regard to their
Idea of the concoquenceg to result
from it. Tho press has discussed
tile order of the court and while
It has been Impossible to question
the propriety of the court's order,
it has been equally Impossible to
satisfy all that Jh'e manner of pro?
tecting the progress of justice may
not civile an injustice of another
character. In at hast one instance
the court excused a talesman from
service, who was agreeable to liotli
tire prosecution an' defense, on the
expressed ground that bLs business
would bo ruined if lie were not
there to care for it. Probably the
grent majority of the Jurymen will
bo called upon lo make serious
sacrifices of some sort and another
in order to determine the guilt or
innocence of young Thaw. '
It can of conrso bo at once said
that these uro among the penalties
imposed by the jury system upon
our citizenship and that tbv>y must
lie borne with patience and with
patriotism but this may not be the
way tUio proposition strikes one
whose dally labor Is elthor to him?
self or his employers an item of
pressing importance. Both are muca
apt to ask .tr therts is not a possible
substitute to take the place of the
Jury system, under which thoj;e wno
are officers of the lnw may perform
the necessary judicial service. In
?other words, so Inconvenient is It
for tho ordinary man to separate
himself from his business to give
Jury service that ho finds that it
means for him complete separation
during tho trial from his home as
(well, bo will permit himself to be
counted among those who favor
abolition of the jury and the sub?
stitution of tlhree trial Judges, it
certainly would not be surprising
i* tho Thaw jury experience gives
stimulus to tho trial Judge system,
for ns a practical poopio wo shall
l(M)k ongt rly i i a niCiUtH of es?
caping thai kind of seir sacrificing
service.
RESULTS IN GERMANY.
The Centre party. Iho rdrongost
In the Reichstag, was the main
target <>r iho rv.cont government
campaign hi Germa-nyl anil tin- die
feal of thi' Socialists was hardly
lest? desired by the Chancellor and
the Bmporor. It was the defection
of the Centrists, the Ion? time sup
porters ??f the Imperial policy, and
their union with the Social Demo?
crats and the poles that defeated
the govern nr.'n I last month on a
petty question of money for a mili?
tary campaign in Southwest Africa.
That the government could have
avoided the crisis, had it wished
scents certain. The adverse majori-j
ty was only nine, and the measure
was pushed to third reading with
great speed.
There was llltle surprise in Ger-;I
man political circles, therefore, whs n j
in It letter written as a manifesto j
to the voters. Prince von Buelow
sharply attacked the centre party,
ami appealed against Its further
domination In legislation, ifi- at-j
giied thai the time had conic to i
form a combination of parties that j
would legislate regardless of both
centrists and socialists-.
In a word, therefore, the govern?
ment alms i offecl a "bloc" of the
liberals, conservatives and radicals
to carry through Its mr.iMires. Stu?
dents of German politics have admit?
ted the possibility of doubt whether
It could he made permanent. There
wen- several contests in Friday's
election between rival candidates of
these parties, ill bona Is contesting for
radical seats nnd radicals for liberal
seals. The aims or these parlies
an- so different as to make :i
genuine working coalition a matter
of grave douht.
Prince von Buolows personal po?
sition with Uio Bmporor and the
country Is regarded as having been
greatly fortified. The Chancellor
will probably be aide to go before
Parliament with a degree of power
Whlcli ho had not previously poss-1
essed. Although the Centre party
has, according to the results thus
far, gained as many seats as it lost,
It. Is believed Chat It will return to
the Itelchstag "tamed," as one of
the Chauollons' friends sold, n:i<i
willing to co-operate with the gov?
ernment. What the socialists have
lest has been largely gained by
the national liberals and radical llh
eraih:, thus giving the manufacturing
and .commercial interests Increased
representation in Parliament.
Ctrorgo Burnham, the convicted
life insurance officer, who because
of Influence, was not taken to Sing
Sing prison at once, was on Sat?
urday last by a preomptory order
of District Al.toroy Jerome sent up
the river. Burnham did nbl expect
to go and when ho was told Hint
lie niusl begin his term in Sl:ig
Sing he wept. His tears, however,
will not create nny sympathy.
Tlie University of Virginia has
made no mistake In adopting tho
graduate coach system. Perhaps the
team will not be as strong the
first year but by having an alum?
nus on the coaching line, the uni
| versity gets further away from

thing ifbr any educational Institu?

thing that approaches unless It is

For some purpose's it may lie conven?

these are exactly what the snail has.

When ?l?e Wire Tire?.
"Messages,'' said a telegraph opera?

The wires, you see, have profited by
their .Sunday rest. It is a fact that in?
animate as well as animate things get
tired and nee.l a vacation occasionally.
Von know how true this is of razors, of
automobiles, of locomotives, and it is
just as true of tClcgriiDh wires. A wire
after its Sunday rest gives a quicker, a
fuller and a more delicate transmis?
sion. It Is like a piano that has just
been tuned."
