Tbe Stab ventured loni ago tOj dis cuss it but lawyers and j judges re gard" it impertinent in unprofessional outsiders "to have and to hold" an opinion concerning legal defects and reforms. Editors must' not presume to express opinions on subjects that concern the whole people. Bat be this as it may, we hold that in regard to trials by jury at least three things 'exist:; . . -'"Ml' j - First, the system is si idly defec tive, - : . M - j Second, it is probably lie best that can be got, and' V.-.. r Third, it might be improved Now if there is any Judge on the Bench in North Carolina who. will I i 1 not agree with those points then be ief not the' judge we are in search of. No ! one can eo into one of our i one can go mi courts and see the juries that try con- causes without coming; to the elusion that the system is defec live. Then ' when we rememb iber that the tweve jurors mart agree or there is no tnal, and we see another defect, The jury system is probably the best because it will give more satisfaction to the people than a one-man system would give, or a court composed of three lawyers. The people have been so educated as to like the idea of being "tried by their peers." Bat able lawyers and jurists say that it is not the best system, but a Court composed of three judges would be a decided improvement. As to making the system better there can be no two opinions. , . ' I . Judge E. A. Thomas, ja Northern man, has had two articles on the Jury system in The Forum. In the March number he has a paper entitled "Shall the Jury system be retained?"j He insists that experience proves that the system is defective and not the best. He says the present system Us "uncer tain and unsatisfactory;"! that it in volves great delay, that it is a source of unlimited expense; and that it im- poses ; a heavy burden on These points he discusses, jurors. He I also discusses the remedies Some persons prefer a trial before one Judge. Others favor the abolition ' of all exemptions. Othcirs insist upon more care in selecting jurors. Improve and not abolish' the system is what one learned Judge says. Judge , Thonias does not think an unanimous verdict essential, j He says "it gives any' one nan on Ihe ; jury too much power." He says in several countries a. two-thirds vote of a jury is required and the plan works well. . - i'-M . ; We copy the concluding portion of his paper. He says : j ."Tbe fact that the defendant In criminal causes can move lime and again for 'a new trial, while the prosecution, under the pro visions of the Constitution as to placing a man in jeopardy .but once on i a criminal charge, cannot do so at all, renders amend ment in this particular doubly! necessary. The other remedy, that of enacting laws by which causes may be referred for trial to competent lawyers, and compelling par ties who insist upon juries strictly to com ply with certain rules, has already accom plished great good. In one State scarcely any civil causes are now tried by juries, except those sounding in tort. In another. t . i ii- ... .... . ujr icuuu ui a uiw compelling we JUlganl who demands a jury to deposit with the court a certain sum of money in advance, for the expenses, nearly every cause is txied by the judge alone. With such changes in the present system many objections would be obviated, and 'the way gradually paved for further reforms.' " i i LAND OWNERSHIP. I , 1 i - i The right to own anything is a grant. But for government the strong would take possession and hold what tbey got, as was the case in primitive and barbaric times. The old rule of the strong was to get what you could and hold it against all comers. When government started, first in families and next in villages and clans, and so on, then the land was held for those' who paid alle giance to the bead. At first a man's possessions consisted of just what he could sieze and hold. Without gov ernment without' laws, men were pillaged and red need to vssalage . It was only when society began to form and crystallize that protection was extended and men began to have rights that were regarded. Society said that men should have and hold certain properties, and land was a part. ' Did aooiety do wrong ? The Baltimore ' American says: : j "To say that society made unequal laws is absurd. The right to labor is one of the benefits bestowed. Until society held out its beneficent hand, a man would not be certain that he would enjoy for an hour the results of his own work, and there was no incentive to labor. In the same way it would have been foolish for him to expend time and toil on - land which is stronger than he could appropriate to his own use. The ownership of land was guaranteed be- uw it was more necessary roan roe right to hold perishable property." i Men will not work' without the hope of reward. Deprive them oi all prospects of return and suocess and they will degenerate into drones, into plunderers and idlers and will roam the world "seeking whom they may devour," as the Scriptures say of Sa tan. Theorizing may sound pret tily, and men may deny the right of a man to own land, but without this riffbt civilization is gone and chaos begins. Pnt in practice the teach ings of George and kindred theori zersi and j you turn loose the winda of discord; you overthrow governments, destroy (civilization, bring back the disorders' and conflicts and oppres eions of roediteval times or worse, and turn the fair gardens of earth into a wilderness. ' Tbe incentive to labor is gjone and the migratory '.and predatory1 tendencies of the race are quickened into life and activity.' Destroy the idea of the ownership of land, and wrongs will follow, fof men goaded by poverty ' and suffer ing will rob and lay waste. ; v! '... ! Mr George's theory will destroy civil institutions and make a wreck of the hopes of men on this continent if it is ever attempted to be practi cally carried out. It is plausible, alluring and dangerous. 4 j j HOT A SUBST1TCTB fOB COTTON. Our Spartanburg correspondent is partly wrong Ld partly right in his statements and views as to the importance of the to bacco cropl in North Carolina and South Carolina. Ilia informant is in error, we think, in saying that tobacco planting has impoveii?hei the farmers in some of the c junlies ia North Carolina, The real cause of their rorertv is plainly told by our cor- respondent himself . "In former Tears," it is said, ihev had corn and bacon and stock for sal; now tbey buy all these these things from abroad, and deptnaon tooaccoo to supply the money." , It was not tobacco planting that ' impoverished them, but the failure to raise other supplies as they had done before. Charleston and Courier. i- i i -i j- In Norl i Carolina a mistake has been made that we foresaw and would ha e prevented. There is a section of the State that produces the finest reed grown on the Amer ican continent. ! The soil of Gran- I t V. . I . ville and five or six other counties is adapted to the growth of a tobacco that is unrivalled, and that fetches higher prides than tbat grown else where. " T le. sales of the last thirty seven yearn prove that fact. There are farmer in the most favored sec- -.i - . tions who from $300 ofiep reoeive as high as ko $500 per acre and make on tobacco alone $1,000 to each farm "hand employed. This is almost sure to be dot e during a good crop year. Tbe soil is peculiarly adapted to the production of a leaf that is of fine,.' silken, glossy texture,' with good body, and that is capable of being made as bright as a new gold dot- lar. it has! such texture and body work most satisfactorily' that it will when subnkiltt-d to great hydraulic pressure, which the lighter and less rich tobacco! will not; bear. The qualities in dicated give great excel lence to the weed and make it much sought after by manufacturers.! It sells for frojm : $40 to $100, or more, to the one hundred pounds.; It is used for wrappers and for mixing with common smoking tobacco to give it color. j The mistake alluded to above, is this: any land can obacco grown on light be! made bright by coal curing. Bu i it is only tobacco grown On ard th it possess certain chemi cal qnal-tiei that will stand this coal curing process and come ont strong, rich, oily, and , with body enough to stand well the hydraulic press and retain its ri :h texture and finish. It was thought by those who did not know who lacked experience that tobaco "equal to tbe best Gran ville," as as often said, could be grown almost 'in any section. But it has provd a very great mistake.' The Stab has; copied sales here and there, and in some instances they, were quite disastrous. ' In : Stokes amj other ounties very poor results wre cb'.ained for labor and tobacco. The lesson taught is this, as we un derstand it; tobacco cultivation will only - pay n very strong, fertile lands. Oih r things will pay better than cbaffy Lobacco. There, are prob ably twenty or thirty counties in which tobacco can be grown with profit to the farmers. There! are sections in these counties in which it canoe produced with excellent re sults.! In the: best tobacco counties prioei rule j high still, and scores of men have made more money under, tlie ''tax than they made before! the war when theije was no jtax. - Some have jroade $400, or even $600 to the acre. ? Some have 'made from $700 tb $1,000. or more, to each hand worked Tob acco land in Granville sometimes rents for $100 per acre. But because of such splendid re ... sults it is not wise for farmers on thin land to try to grow tobacco. The only safe plan is to make experi ments on a smal . scale, and gradual ly jl enlarge as the results justify. Those who pan make tobacco even on a small scale,' with satisfactory! re sults, in thus, diversifying, are wise. Tbe farmer who relies npon other farmers to raise pis corn and wheat and roots, and tol produce his bacon and lard and batter, and bo on, is un wise, and if he does not come to finan cial grief it will not -be because he has not pursued in absurd and dan gerous course. Making chaffy to bacco on thin land will not save him. pr. Sower, oi Washington, Bays ine f resident will not live to the end of his term: if he does not change his habits. He does not exercise enough and he has fattened immensely since he became President. He says:; ' "He works with his head.eats enormous ly and falls to exercise his muscles. His blood vessels are weakened, and it is only a question of time I when in a moment of excitement be bursts a blood Vessel. I tell you, -at the rate President Cleveland ie now living, there is great danger that he will not live throughout his term." j It VOti wlnh AVrnrxl urtiola if Pi iw Tn.

It is pleased to sayri . ; r v "It seems to us the Stab knows little of tbe working of this tax question in tobacco sections True,, some tobacco sells high these times, bul whoever knew any "tufl" ctlltd tobacco to sell at 25 cents to one dollar per hundred pounds , before the Infernal ueveoue drove all the country manuieciurers ouroi Business T , , Our 4 respected contemporary is clean out 1 of it. This writer has known fine' tobacco leaf f to fetch from $30 to $75 per hundred pounds fifteen years before , an "Infernal Revenue" was ever heard of in North Carolina. It only shows its own ig-' 'norance of the past when it : pro pounds the above inquiry. ) We. are not surprised to see & Protection pa per favoring the abolition of the tax on tobacoo - and whiskey and cigars and beer. If the Jieporter knows anything about who pays tax on ci gars and tobacoo it knows that it is tbe consumer and not the produo r. The Post betrays its animus when it say:. -. 'j. : . . 'V"e consider this tariff question the grete t nurnbug or the age, and the inter nal Revjoue law the most uojmt and op pressive law with which a free people hsve ever been cursed." ; Of course, of course. That ia pre cisely what' "Pig-iron" Kelley and Sam Randall, of Pennsylvania, say and it is as absurd as possible. It is, to use tl phrase offome vigorous and earnest ! disputant "clotted jnon.ene,"j It is a great bumbug tb lift thetax from fifty-six millions of people (exclusive of the -manufacturers) who . are ground down in the dust by( a High Tariff that averages 44 per cent.', and that Was put upon the oountry in ihe midst of a tremendous war. ! If that is not the veriest sham and humbug then we give it up. Morrill, tbe New Englander who in troduced the present Tariff, was so ashamed of his work that he apolo gized when he introduced it. .That giant War Tariff is higher in 1887 than it was when first made a law. But to reduce this monstrous iniquity -this shameless "robbery" to give the language of the Republican Su preme Court - is "the greatest hum bug of the age." Bab! "An ouoce of civet, good apothecary." And to Vcap the climax," our es teemed contemporary is. pleased to add tbat the "Internal Revenue law" is "the most unjust and oppressive law with j which a free people has ever befn cursed." This is gravely said. It is not fun, it is not irony. r j - or badinage, The writer is in "dead earnest." But no w ; "nmust?" Is it "anjust'f to make a man pay for hia smokes and his drinks any more than to pay for- his sugar, molasses, cheese, blanket, and boots?! The man who r consumes pay. The man who neither 8m.ket, chew, nor drinks does not pay a farthing of the tax. And yet, quoth the Reporter, it is "unjust." j We hold and insist that of all taxes this internal tar i th fairest the most feasible, the most equal, the most j usi . ; It taxes the luxuries. It taxes the vices, j It tax;8 those only who use. I - j But our friend says the "Infernal Revenuo law" onvr esses. How? What lion eM, law abiding class is op- prpesed ? j It is true it interferes with secret conspirator and sneaking vio Iatora of 1 tw, but that ia all. . Shall tbe financial system -of pixty million people be regulated and planned to adapt itself to the demands of the "moonshinerb" who violate law. Or shall a scheme of taxation be adopted and enforced that ia just to all, taxes only the consumers and burdens only the luxuries ?! The beet taxation scheme that was ever conceived is the direct system. Let the people be required oat the 1 onerous, unjust, unequal, immoral robbing tax levied under the War Tariff m a direct way paying as they wonld to the sheriff, and know lnghat they are paying -and they would tise up and hang, if ijeceesary, the men wjio weuld dare to oppress them after this way. They would throttle the demagogues in their first efforts to bleed, wrong and oppress them under such flagitious forms of :. ,' I " ''-. Our esteemed contemporary got bold of the wrong end, of 'the poker. It is the Tariff robber that is unjust and oppressive, and not tbe equal and just ' internal direct tax on smoker, dips and drinks. The most unequal, unjust and wicked of laws is that which robs the many poor for the enrichment of-the plutocrats and bloated monopolists - that which bur dens and oppresses the many for the enrichment of a few. It cannot be defended either in the school of common-sense, of political economy, or of morality.' ' . Charles 1. - Montague, a Boston newspaper attache, is performing many of the marvels of W. I.

An Omaha special 10 me lime, giving particulars ol the kill ing of Dr. Randall, in the; Court at Hast ings Saturday, says that his murderer, ycung Hart, with the smoking pistol in his band, coolly walked out of the court room, no one attempting not even the sheriff whom he passed on the stairway to ar rest him At the time young Hart was un known to the crowd. Mrs. Randall, who the evidence showed had assisted her hus band to ruin Ella Hart, was in jeopardy of ber life. Threats of lynching' were freely made immediately after the shooting, and the probability is that if her husband had not been shot both would have been mob bed and very likely lynched. She was taken to her boarding: house and fully 500 men followed with, the determination of committing violence- A strong guard, however, protected, the woman, who put on a suit of her husband's clothes and with an escort made her escape. ! She was taken to Grand Island in a carriage with a guard of twenty-five men.; The Hastings people threaten to mob her when A she is brought back tor triaL No effort will be made to prosecute young Hart for killing Dr. Ran dall. Mr. Hart, father of the girl, was in the court room when the shooting was done, and immediately rushed up and kicked the corpse and satis fled himself that the man was dead.. - i NEW YORK.
