THE WORK OF GRAND JURIES.
The proposition for the appointment
of a commission to study the commer-
cial conditions in China and Japan
embodied in sundry bills now before
congress is along lines similar to those
already adopted by several of tbe ac-
tive commercial nations of Europe.
The document recent'y issued by the
treasury bureau of statistics "Com-
mercial China in 1899." shows that ex-
periments made by other nations in
sending commissions to the orient have
been very satisfactory.
The British commission spent a part
of the years 1896 and 1897 in China
alone devoting eight months to a trip
through tbe interior of the country and
giving to the British public an elabor-
ate and extremely valuable report on
the wants consuming power and gen-
eral condition of the people their trip
having carried them through the most
densely populated part of tbat coun-
try.
The French mission was absent from
France nearly two years returning in
October 1897 after a thorough inves-
tigation of agricultural industrial and
commercial conditions which is not to
be made public but recorded for the
use of the several chambers of com
merce which shared in the expedition
The French are somewhat w
Some people appear to think that
the duty of grand juries is to reform
on a tremendous scale by ferreting out
crimeiwherever it exists and forcing
general prosecution of wrong doers
As a matter of fact a grand jury
while it is usually composed of citi
zens ratber above the average in in-
telligence is after all but one of the
agents of the whole community and
it9 acts are generally to be construed
as the result of averaging up the sense
of the community always leaning a
little toward the side of progress rath
er than retrogression.
A grand jury cannot accomplish
miracles. Such a body notwithstand
ing the official oath will seldom go
far in advanca of the average sense of
the community. Even though there
be men on the jury who firmly desire
raiical changes in existing conditions
men for instance who would per
son ally like to see certain officials
prosecuted for misdemeanor and re
moved yet they will generally allow
their personal desires to become
merged in the general sense prefer
ring to accomplish a little surely
rather than to fall altogether in the
attempt to overturn and reconstruct.
It is that determination to accomplish
a little at a time that marks tbe true
reformer and distinguishes him from
the fanatic. ' It is an all too common
error on the part of many virtuous and
well meaning people to attempt too
greatlv. Nothing is gained thus in
work done and the result of such over
zealousness is generally to shock the
general sense of the community and to
cause a reaction even among tnose
who would be supporters of the cause if
they were not betrayed into a policy
of extremes.
Every right minded citizen must
have been favorably impressed with
the work of the grand jury which re
cently adjourned in this city. Their
work was marked by a gratlf jing de
gree of care for the public interests
and while they did notdo any great and
memorable thing yet what they did
if impartially reviewed demonstrates
Palmistry haj lost one of its high
est apostles and tulle red a blow in his

Bellevue Hospital New York said of
Aaron Lea Fox the palmist and for
tune-taller. Tbe patient traced the
life line on his hand. "I'll live to be
90" he said. The next day he died
The doctors were right. Long fam
ous as a seer Fox apparently bad
faith in his own readings. He told
friends he had predicted the date of
bis first wife's death and the insanity
of his second. In his own palm he in
dicated a slight irregularity of the life
line which be said marked the illness
that necessitated hia removal to the
hospital but which he insisted did
not mean that his life was closing

up practice to follow palmistry. In
his time he had had many noted pa
trons. He had baen in this country
since 1882.
It will surprise many people to learn
that next to France the United States
is to be the largest exhibitor at tbe
Paris Exposition and will occupy the
largest space. Commissioner General
Peck has worked hard for the credit
able representation of this country and
his labors bave been notably success
fill. The United States government
building is one of the finest of the
national structures on the banks of the
Seine and altogether no American
need be ashamed of the part his coun
trymen are to play in the great show.
The New York Tribune reports that
the evening following the arrest of
Olga Nethersole on a charge of pro
ducing an immoral play her perform
ance of "bapho" was attended by s
larger audience than usual. The
house was so crowded that many who
tried to get in failed to do so. Thus
it seems inevitable that if the play ia
not suppressed it will enjoy a greater
vogue than ever as the result of the
legal proceedings taken against it.
and it probably will not be suppressed.
During a debate in the Virginia
legislature which resulted in the de
feat of a bill to puDish wife-beaters in
tnat state a member created a
sensation by declaring tbat in his die
trict thers are few wives who do not
systematically chastise their husbands

said to have become more profitable to
England than to France.
The Germans profiting by this ex
ample have also omitted to give the
general publio the result of the work
of their commercial mission which re
turned to Germany in 1899 after 15
months' study of China and other east'
ern Asiatic countries.

KENTUCKY WAKING UP.
The Luulaville Dispatch concludes
an article on the future of Kentucky
politics in the following words:
The macbine must go.
The Croebel election law must
go.
Until they are gone no other issues
are possible in Kentucky.
Everything and everybody tbat per-
eista in standing in tbe way of their
going must go with them.
The preachers of Kentucky bave
united in a denunciation of the evil of
pistol carrying: tbe women of that
state held a meeting and prayed tbat
their men would leave their guna at
home; and now the school -teachers
have taken up the matter. They are
to instill in the minds of their pupils
principles of abhorrence for tbe gun-
toter. In accordance with this plan
the superintendent of the Louisville
public schools has issued a circular of
instruction containing these direc-
tions: There is one thing to which teachers
should call particular attention that is
ity as represented by them is on
right side of the scale.
An exceedingly hopeful sign of the
times and one for which the late
grand jury is to be especially com
mended is the indictment of Pat
Dwyer the policeman nephew of the
mayor and tbe particular pat of the
administration for alleged bunco
steering. It does not matter whether
Pat is guilty or not.
auch a charge was
against a policeman
make searching investigation neces-
sary. Inasmuch as there were several
of the administration's chief sup
porters on the grand . jury
the indictment shows that
the general sense of the oomtnunity
again prevailed and compelled action.
Certain it is tbat the people will not
permit the police force to be undulyde-graded.
It is a little remarkable that no ac
tion of any sort has bean taken in re-
gard to the recent escapade of the
chief of police. It will be remembered
tbat Chief Lockart whila drunk wai
knocked down in a ealoon for abusing
a private citizen disarmed by a police
mao and sent borne in a back. The
Herald wcu'd hate to think that
such an occurrence is of eo little
moment as to be allowed to pass by
without some administrative action.
The public has not been informed that
the chief even reprimanded himself
And as to suspension investigation or
adequate punishment if such has taken
place the public ia in ignorance.
There is one provision at least in
tbe anti-trust bill which has been
prepared in New York under the direc
tion of Governor Roosevelt which is in
accordance with the soundeet and
most conservative conclusions that
have been formed on the general sub
ject of trust regulation. That is the
provision that aims at seouring pub
licity for the business of tbe big com
mercial combinations of th9 day. Pub-
licity has already been applied to sev
eral important branches of business
in no one of which was its introduc
tion inherently less difficult than it is
in the case of the trusts. Banking and
insurance for example are subject to
the I to take care of herself.
Every playgoer in El Paso is plea?
ed over the report that the Myar opera
house is to be modernized by the
introduction of steam heat and other
improvements. The greatest admirer
of an Irving or a Scalchi could not en
joy the acting of the one for the
singing of the other with hia teeth
chattering like castanets.
Emperor William's play "The
Iron Tooth" fell fiat and was hissed on
its first presentation. The emperor
appeared during the second act and
sat almost unobserved and quite alone
in the royal orchestra box screened by
the draperies from observation. The
emperor should write a comic song.
The proposed 16th amendment to
the federal constitution is to the effect
tbat no polygamist shall be qualified to
serve in either bracu of congress.
It is wisely held by eouie congress
men it should go further and enable
them to enact v. uniform marriage and
divorce law.
The seating of both delegations
from baa Antocio at the Del Rio
republican i:j..wen-.lon and the reign of
harmony tinr- marred the nomination
of Col. Drake for n 07-039 augurs well
for the future of the party in that im
portant district.
Cronje will go down to history aa a
hero of heroes. The great personal
bravery of Leonidas or Vercingetorix
was no greater than he displayed in
his week'a contest with the flower of
the British army and its ablest com
manders.
According to an ecclesiastical cm.
bus recently taken two-thirds of the
Quaker City's inhabitants go to
church. It is their favorite place to
sleep.
The old saying that "two heads are
better than one" does not apply to the
two governors of Kentucky.
