It implies an active participation in the administration of justice, and in proper hands is one of safeguards of the prosperity of the community. There appears, how- ever, to be a growing tendency to throw this important privilege of citi- zenship into the hands of incompetent persons, whose only object is the fee which is attached to the exercise of the dutics of the jury box. A portion of the blame for this state of affairs doubtless lies at the door of the officers who are called upon te select the juries Juries, both grand and petit, are frequently drawn in a man- ner which places upon the panel men whose only business is to hang around court rooms waiting for a job, and whose names have become attached to the torm “‘professional jurymen.” To them arc committed cases involv- ing large amounts of property, and the greatest peace and OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

Tae Yorktown celebration is over and the general impression is that it wasn't much to boost of after all. CHI0AGO is complaining of a ridicu- lous economy in gas. As long as Car- ter Harrison continues mayor it is difficult to s2e how such a charge can be maintained. Nepraska will eleet three congress- men next year, and it is to be hoped no more basswood billiardists of the Valentine stripe will misrepresent us in the national legislature. Two hundred and fifty thousand ] cattle passed over the Union Pacific bridge last year to castern points. At ten dollars a car this would represent a bridge toll of $125,000 on east bound cattle alone. Provessor KiNa has landed safely with his balloon on the other side of the Alleghanies, but the average tour- ist will etill prefer to make the voy- age on one of Pullman’s sleepers with hotél attachment. Tue democrats of Minnesota are endeavoring to get up a coalition with renegade republicans to beat Senator Windom for r ction, but the out- look is not very promising for the suc- oess of such u schieme. Towa is preparing a surprise for the country. It is confidently predicted that John A, Kasson's campaign for the speakership is only the prelude to his ‘entry in the presidential race track of 1884, Tt strikes us Mr. Kasson's presidential boom is a little prema- ture, GeNEraL Roserr Winniaws, for- merly located in this city but now of General Sheridan's staff in Chicago, has been promoted to a coloneley and mado assistant adjutant general of the division of the Missouri. General Williams is one of the most efficient and cultured officers in the army, and has seen long and brilliant service, e — Tur American navy has seen more active service during the past week than during the whole sixteen years sinco the close of the war. All the available vessels have been engaged in transporting distinguished guests to Yorktown and firing blank cartridges from their big guns in honor of the surrender of Cornwallis, The old sea dogs of the American navy will now haveto take a rest. They are over- worked. Taar man with a capacious stomach and an elastic conscience, Hon. George Washington Frost, government direc- tor of the Union Pacific railroad, writes as follows from the other side of the Atlantic: “I wanted to see the hpmes of Eng- land. T have seen them in the upper middle classes. They ave models of comfort and elegance and unbounded hospitality. My connection with the conference gave me admis- sion to these, and m; at- tention to some Engli 100+ blemen during the building of the railroad gave me a little inside view of these ancient homes., T have read of but could not imagine the quiet ele- gance of these old halls, so ancient and yet s0 full of comfort—an Eng- lishman always has an eye to his com- fort above every thing else. This is just what might have been expected from a snobocrat who left New England as poor as a church mouse and grew fat in this section on a COredit Mobilier job. He wanted to soe the homes of England—not the homes of the millions of poor over- worked and{underpaid working people, but the homes of the upper crust. Of course the homes of the English noblemen are models of comfort and clogance and unbounded hospitality. They are just the place for a man who bas beeu dead-heading it all his life. For him the boundless hospitality of theso British noblemen is s genuine love feast. law and in direct opposition to the best interests of communities. That it has been done in Omaha time and again without manifest injury to jus- tice, is no excuse for its repetition, But our ony themselves are iargely responsible for the de- focts of the jury-box. Kvasion of jury duty las the most common of political delin- quencies. The merchant pleads his business, the professional man his his trade, all of become one of office, the mechani which must be neglected to serve in court. And yetif any of these jury shirkers feel themselves wronged by the decision of twelve men in the jury box, they denounce the faults of the jury system as loudly as any, for- gotting that it is largely dne to the unwillingness of reputable citizens to perform jury duty, which is responsi- ble for just such failures of justice as those of which they complain. Tt is high time that more interest should be taken in the subject of jury duty by the people. The question is one which concerns every community, and which can only be met by the ac- y citizen, tive co-operation of ev We have no disposition to encour- ago the violation of laws, nor de we desire to embarrass any officer or ci zen in legitimate efforts to secure a respectful and rational observance of the laws enacted for the enforcement of abstinence from labor and traffic on Sunday. But we would admonish Colonel Watson B. Smith and his co- league have been removed to Liver- pool and many of its leaders are rus- ticating in Paris, Tue proclamation of the Land League from Dublin prior to their romoval to Liverpool in which the tenant farmers were urged to pay no rents until the release of the Trish leaders, has been endorsed by Parnell from Kilmainham jail. Arch- bishop Croke, who has been in the front of the movement for land re form emphatically refuses to endorse the manifesto, which he denounces in the strongestterms. The Archbiishop has on his side the vast majority of the clergy in Ireland and his letter is gonerally consideaed as a very serious blow to the “no rent” agitators. The land commission is now iu session ready to decide all contested cases and thereseems to be a reaction among the farmers in favor of testing the bill which was passed for their benefit. The court announces that the fees for suits will be practically nothing in or- der to facilitate businessand encourage a fair test of its powers, M. Gambetta has been called out of his partial retirement by the president of the French republican, and takes the place which waslongsinceaccorded to demand concessions which the government cannot grant. Mr. Glad- stone has sent the leader of the Boers his ultimatum and will renew the war unless it is accepted. The republic of Venzuela is now agitated over the question of the re- tention or dismissal of their president. Their present executive is Guzman Blanco, *‘Tlustrious American, pacifi- eator, regenerator and president of the United States of Venzuela,” as his title runs, a head who has many of the faults of Central American ‘‘pa- cificators,” but who is also the most able man in the nation, and who would do more to set Venzuela on its feet than any other man. Entering Caraccas in 1879 as supreme dictator, he hasin two years reduced order out of chaos; has founded and established a constitutional assembly; has insti- tuted a tariff; went abroad and made arrangements; favorable commercial has increased the revenue nearly $1¢, 000,000, and from a deficit has chaged the balance sheet of the conntry to a surplus of nearly $3,000,000. The cause of the trouble at present is due to the fact that the congress which is now to be elected will next year elect a federal council, which in turn will elect a president. The Venzuclan parties are two, federals and confeder- ates. The formeris represented by Blanco, who has reduced the twenty- one states to seven, subject to a gen- eral government. The confederates favor complete antonomy of eachstate, and only favor a general government as an administrative power oh behalf of all. . MUSICAL AND DRAMATIOC., Signor Rossi, the great Italian tragedian, will make his first appearance in New York on the 31st of October at Beoth's theater. Mme. Gierster sailed for New York on the 10th instant. She is engaged for the season by Mr. Max Strakosh, who has or- ganized a strong company. Mr. C. A, Mendum, manager of the Arch street theater, Philadelphin, taiks of ing his debut on the stage with Annie Dickinson. He is going to manage her. Queen Victoria had not attended a the- atrical performance for twenty years until a week or so , when she weut to see “The Colonel,” Burnand’s amusing hit on the westhetes, Tt is said that Mr. J, H. Haverly has purchased from Managers Gustave Froh- man and O. G. Bernard, a three years' to him as his right as premier of the French ministry. For three years past he has been the strongest individual force in the country and the natural leader of the Republicans in the Chamber of Depu- ties. His power has been felt in gov- erning by proxy, by directing parlia- mentary sentiment and by upsetting at his own pleasure the opposing cabinets. Now he will direct the policy of the government on his own responsibility. The new Chamber of Deputies, which M. Gambetta will be requirred to face in assuming the Premiership, com- prises 90 Bonapartists and 467 Repub- laborers in reform that they are going altogether too far whan they under- take to deprive their fellow men of comforts and necessary conveniences which civilized people are accustomed to enjoy on every day of the week. One of the most necessary comforts in a city like Omaha is the public Lath, snd any attempt to deprive travellers and people who have no bath-room facilities at home of the opportunity to procure a bath on Sunday is simply an attempt to foster filth and disoase. Why should the threo thousand workingmen of Omaha, who labor ten hours a day in their workshops, be compelled to shave on Saturday night? Would Mr, Smith insist that these men shall be lathered and scraped like so many hogs, at the rato of a man per minute? Is not this worse than cruclty to animals! And why should anybody in this or any other civilized community be deprived of a chance to procure medicines at the drug stores on Sun- day or any other day or night? Such cruel tyranny is simply intolerable and cannot fail to create a reaction among thinking men against the sys- tem of petty espionage and persecu- tion which Col. Smith has instituted in our midst. But why don’t Col. Smith and his co-laborers pay their respects first to the worst evils that afflict Omaha? Why don't they put a stop to Sunday gambling whioh is carried on openly with- out hindrance? Why don't they inform on the dives of iniquity where gambling and prostitution are carried on defiantly every day in the week? Wouldn't the lower end jof the Third ward afford them a more promising field for reform than barber shops, drug stores and cigar stands? St. Petorsburg become a city of spies. Every landlord and house por- ter has been ordered by the chief of police to keep strict watch on their lodgers. They are to be alwayson duty. They must never sleep, never go on errands, never enter the house, nor allow anybody to stick bills on the walls, .throw explosive substances through the windows, or do anything that may set fire to the building. They must know everybody's business who comes in or goes out; they must carry any information they can glean to the police. They are thus made government spies, and are already be- coming as odiour as Fouche's brigade became in France. Lodgers have to foe them orbe denounced as suspicious characters, licans, If the majority be classed ac- cording to existing groups, the Left Centre will have 37, the Pure Left 168, the Advanced Left 206, and the Extreme Left 46, It is safe to assume that as many as 30, possibly 50, of the Advanced Left will vote steadily with the Extreme Left. This reduces the voting strength of the sections upon which M. Gambetta can confidently depend for political support to 361, a majority being 279. A fantastic com- bination of the Extremes of the Cham- ber with the doubtful members of the Advanced Left cannot be expected to muster more than 182 votes under the most favorable circumstances, From these figures it will be seen that Gambetta will be backed by a strong majority. He may be counted upon to ultimately call to his sup- port the Advanced Left or the radical republicans which are now the real contre of political pow- er. Every sign of the political horizon in France points a new de- velopment of republican institutions in France, in which they will gain what they have so far lacked, perma- nence and stability. Advices from Meshed state that an army from Turkestan has captured Herat. Ifthis be true the power of Ayoub Khan is broken, for the victors are not Turcomans, but soldiers of Abdurrahman, ameer of Afghanistan, After the pretender's defeat in the plains of Candaha is General Ab- dul Kudas Khan was sent to capture his last stronghold, and ay the direct march to Herat was beset with difficulties he was bidden to reach the city circuit- ously by way of Turkestan It is hard to believe that he can have taken so easily a city well fortified and well provisioned; but the treach- ery which served the ameer in good stead at Candahar may haye helped his lieutenant at Herat.

She had had her round of flesh, and now she wanted blood-money. But it is amicably arranged.
