FIGHTING OVER BREWER.
Senators Squabble Over the Eleva
tion of the Kansas Judge.
Washington, Dec. 17.— The senate,
in secret session this afternoon, con
firmed a large number of nominations.
The only nomination which was debated
at any length was tnat of David J.
Brewer, to be associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States.
More than an hour was devoted to this
nomination, and it went over finally
without action. The general impression
is that it will be confirmed in the secret
session. Theobjectionsto Judge Brewer
were stated in the United Press dis
patches at the time they were brought
before the committee on the judiciary.
More than four years ago Judge Brewer
decided the celebrated Kansas brewery
cases, in which the state sought to
close up the breweries under a prohib
itory law. Judge Brewer held in the
Muglcr case that the state could not close
up a man's business without paying
him for the plant and the value of the
business as well. This decision was
reversed by the supreme court of the
United States, which held that it was
within the police power of the state to
close up these breweries without com
pensating their owners, the decision
being based on the principles set forth
in the decision- of the celebrated New
Orleans slaughter house cases. Since
his nomination to the supreme bench,
Judge Brewer has been attacked con
tinually by temperance advocates and
temperance journals. They have de
clared that a man who would render
such a decision was not fit to sit in
! judgement on the questions that came
before the supremo court. These pro
tests had some effect upon the judiciary
committee, and the nomination was not
approved unanimously in committee.
In the secret session to-day several
.speeches in explanation of Judge
Brewer's decision were made. Senator
Blair Jed the opposition and Senator
Ingalls the defense. Senator Phi nib
was not present at the session. When
the senate adjourned at 4:30 it was with
the understanding that the nomination
would be disposed of to-morrow.
\ The following were among the bills
introduced in the senate to-day:
By Mr. Washburn— Appropriating $l.") 0
, for the erection of a public building at
Mnnkato. Minn.
By Mr. Pierce— Appropriating $150,000 to
provide for a survey for the purpose of irri
gation of the state "of North Dakota; appro
priating $30,000 to establish a penitentiary
in the state of North Dakota, and to carry
out the provisions of "An act to provide for
the division of Dakota into two states, and
to enable the people of North and South Da
kota. Montana and Washington to form con
stitutions aii'l state governments and to be
admitted into th<> Union;" appropriating
$15,000 for extending the military reserva
tion and repairing the quarters at Fort Abra
ham Lincoln. X. D. .-'
By Mr. Pettisrew— To open all abandoned
military reservations in the stale of south Da
kota to homestead entry.
SOCIAL WASHINGTON.
Doings of th" Wives and Daugh
ters of Northwestern Members.
Special to the Globe. - - •
Washington; Dec. 17.— Mrs. Win
dom and her daughter returned last
week from Brooklyn, after a more pro
longed absence than was expected,
the work of arranging things in their
new home on Massachusetts avenue is
now absorbing all their attention.
They have brought here a large amount
of furniture ana other articles of house
hold utility and ornaments from Min
nesota and New York, but the house is
so large that much that is new has been
bought. It will take several days to
perfect the interior arrangements, so
that Mrs. Windom will not be at home
to callers at present.
S. G. Comstock, who is located at the
Irvington on X street, has an elegantly
furnished suite of apartments on the
ground floor. Mrs. Comstock will in all
probability entertain considerably dur
ing the winter. Miss Baldwin, Mrs.
Comstock's sister, will be her guest for
the winter. She is a tall, graceful
blonde with a most attractive . manner.
She will prove an able assistant to her
sister in the festivities of the season.
Senator Washburn has moved into
his new house at 1315 X street. He has
been at the Arlington for several weeks,
but is tired of hotel life. Although
Mrs. Wasburn and her three daughters
are still in Berlin, the senator prefers
housekeeping to living in a hotel.
Capitol Hill has captured another sen
ator in the shape of Pierce, of North
Dakota. Ho makes the eighteenth on
the hill. He has taken 201 North Capi
tol street, the house adjoining that oc
cupied by Senator Ingalls.
The Northwestern members were out
In force at the reception given by Sen
ator and Mrs. Stewart Saturday even
ing. The invitations stated that the re
ception was informal and given to the
members of the new Northwestern as
sociation, and the informality of the af
fair gave an added charm.
The doubts that have existed In the
minds of some of the Minnesota men
as to the advisability of joining the
Northwestern association are based
upon the question as to the nature of
the association. If it is to be purely of
a social nature they would feel disposed
to accept the invitation extended, but
they say that if there is to be any polit
ical complexion to it they must decline.
I All the organizers say that it is not to
i be political in its nature. Their object
in getting it up was this: The mem
bers from the Northwest live so far
apart when at home that they have no
opportunity of getting to know each
other. This club is to meet that and
bring them together, in order to cause
better acquaintance among them. Such
a thing as .nuking it into a caucus, or
trying to work so that the members
would vote unitedly upon all points
never entered their heads.

PARXELI/S* PREDICTION.
Gladstone Will Give Ireland and
Her People Their Legitimate
Freedom.
London, Dec. 17.- -Mr. Parnell. in his
speech at Nottingham to-day, declared
that never had a movement of such
magnitude in relation to the welfare of
the country been conducted with such
freedom from crime as have the opera
tions of the Land Le^ gue. The object of
the home rule movement in Ireland, he
said, was the regeneration of the coun
try, especially industry. Referring to
the special commission, Mr. Parneli sahi
he did not believe that the re
port of the judges would dis
credit the national movement. With
reuard to the future condition of
Ireland he believed that many manu
factures might be developed there to
such an extent as to take the strain off
land and enable the people to look to oth
er means of gaining a living besides farm
ing. Ireland, he said, must promote
her own industries, and should not ae
pend npon England. The means where
with to defray her expenses ought to
come from an Irish exchequer, or best
of all, through individual and local ef
forts. The grafting of home rule to
Ireland would not discourage the rich
people of England from promoting her
industrial development. The money
thus invested would be judiciously ex
pended instead of being wasted, as it
now is, to keep in power a government
of fraud and trickery, and would enable
Ireland to
KEEP HER HEAD ABOVE WATEH,
so that she would no longer be an exhi
bition for the wonder and scorn of the
nations of the world. Mr. Parnell spoke
again this evening, devoting his address
to the explanation of the objects of the
Tenants' Defense league; which, he
said, was the most powerful and at the
savie time the most peaceful movement
ever known in Ireland or any other
country. In spite of coercion and her
other ills, he declared, Ireland was per
fectly tranquil, under assurances that
Mr. Gladstone would soon give to the
country and her people their legitimate
freedom. Mr. Parnell would not say
that it was impossible to govern Ireland
by mere coercion, but he would say that
Mr. Bal four's method of coercion by
constitutionalism would never succeed.
Recurring to the special commission, he
declared that it had not tried the per
sonal indictments against members and
others, but had tried the Irish nation
and the movements of the Irish party.
He knew that the Times' letters were
forgeries, but he would almost accept
death rather than the vindication which
had been offered to him by the govern
ment.
London; Dec. 17.— Mr. Parnell de
clared that all talk of a Protestant min
ority opposing an Irish parliament, of
of Catholics oppressing Protestants was
fallacious. Modified Gladstone home
rule, he said, was preferrable to Grat
tan's.
ROBBED OF HIS LETTER BAG.
A Tnnmvirate of London Thieves
Waylay a Postman on a Thor
oughfare.
London. Dec. 17.— While a postman
was delivering mail in a building in
Uatton Gaiden this morning,he was at

man strongly resisted his assailants,
but was finally overcome, after being
wounded. The robbers then carried him
to an adjacent room, took his bag from
him and locked him in, after which
they succeeded in making their escape.
It is stated that the mail stolen com
prised registered packets from the Cape
of Good Hope, containing diamonds.
The postfiice authorities, however, de
clare that the Cape mail was delivered
yesterday.

PLAIN CASE OF SUICIDE.
Ihe Remains of- Lawyer Gowan
V Deposited in Ivy Cemetery.
.Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17.— The
remains of F. B. Gowan, the great law
yer and financier, whose tragic death in
Washington so startled the community,
were deposited in the grave at Ivy ceme
tery this morning. As requested by the
family, the funeral was strictly private,
only the relatives, a few intimate friends
of the family and the clergyman being
present. Amone the friends who at
tended the service at the house was
Postmaster General Wanamaker, who
came from Washington last evening.
Mr. Wanamaker did not accompany the
cortege to the cemetery. After the
services at the house he left for the city
and took the 1:35 train for Washington.
•Before his departure, Mr. Wanamaker
was asked as to his opinion regarding
the death of Mr. Gowan.
"Well," said Mr. Wauamaker, "it is hard to
say, Mr. Govrau was a strong man, mentally
and physically, and ■wuen 1 last saw him a
short time since, there was nothing in his
actions or conversation to lead any one to be-
Hevo he contemplated such an act. I can
only account for it by supposing a moment
ary aberration — a 'something which is at
present unaccountable, but which may be
explained some time."
"Then you do not believe in the assassina
tion theory advanced by some?" ..

doubt, and that Is all that can be said of it at
present.-' - > .v ; ;

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17.— John
W. Boyer, superintendent of the Read
ing Relief association, who Is also con
nected with one of the leading life in
surance companies of the city, and who
has known Mr. Gowen for twenty years,
relates the following, which may cast
light on his recent letter to Insurance
Agent Register inquiring about the paid
up value of his life policies.
' In a conversation with Mr. Gowen three
years ago on the subject of life insurance,'
Mr. Gowen' stated that he had policies for
$200.<:0(> on his life, which he had taken a
few years ago, at a time when about 11, (K)0
he hail invested In the junior bonds and com
mon stock of the Reading Railroad company
seemed to him to be in jeopardy, and
that his object In taking that amount
of life Insurance was to protect
his , investments. But as the securities
were now improving in value the necessity
for currying such a large amount of life in-
Btirancc'no longer existed, and he intended
to reduce it. His recent inquiry as to the
paid-up value of certain policies held by him
was no doubt a step in the direction of
carrying out that intention." -
The life policies held by Mr. Gowen
were in the following: Equitable, $90,
--000; New York Life Insurance, $80,000;
New York Mutual, 130,000. " : - •
v SHOCKED INTO ETERNITY.
A Painter Meets" a Horrihle Pate
■ From Electricity, r :,j..
.Toledo, 0.. Dec. — This morning
Robert S. Dalton, a painter employed
by the Lake Shore railroad, went to the
top of the train shed to measure a sky
light for repairs. Ho was missed a
couple of hours after and the foreman
climbed to the roof to investigate. He
was horrified at seeing the body of Dal
ton lying on his back across two electric
light wires and j the smoke curling up
from his body. „ The odor fairly sick
ened him, and seeing that Dalton was
dead, he at once descended to the
freight and telephoned in to have the
current shut off so the. body could be re
moved. It presented a horible spectacle.
His face was black and from his mouth
great flakes of foam had fallen over his
his face and on to the roof. His left
arm, which was fearfully burned above
the elbow, was drawn up close to his
side, the elbow bent and across his back
were two burnt strips about three inches
wide, where. he had touched the wires.
It is surmised that in walking on the
roof he slipped and in endeavoring to
catch himself backed up against one of
the wires over which he fell, his shoul
ders striking on the other, while his
back, at the base of tne spine, rested
over the wire where he first fell. His
clothing was wet from rain and made an
excellent conductor and receiving, as
he did. the complete force of the cur
rent from two wires, his death must
have been instantaneous. Dalton was
a sober, industrious man, aged forty,
living in Elkhart, lud., where his widow
and child reside.
BARR IS LEGALLY BARRED.
The Law Does Not Authorize Theft
of Lottery Prizes.
; Chicago, Dec. Judge Jamieson
decided to-day that Jacob Barr, iof
Grand Haven, Mich., was not entitled
to $10,000 drawn in a Mexican lottery on
a ticket bought by Eugene Rowlson.
Rowlson died two days before the draw
ing occurred. Barr was his partner and
appropriated the ticket. When the heirs
sought to enjoin Wells, Fargo & Co.
from paying him the money, Barr set
up the plea that lotteries being illegal
In Illinois the heirs were not entitled to
maintain their action. Judge Jamieson
Overruled his demurrer, and says be
cause lotteries are illegal the law does
not authorize a theft of the prizes. The
money does not belong to Barr and he
has no right to appropriate it no matter
from what source it springs. Barr will
appeal. .

and committed to the care of the cleric
until the senate was organized. In the
latter body a special committee on gov
ernor's message was appointed with
instructions to divide the business
among the proper committee?. The
points of general interest in tho mes
sage are those treating on the registra
tion and election laws and the dual
houses of the legislature. The governor
recommends that the registration law
be so amanded as not to include tho
country districts. Regarding the Aus
tralian election law, he proposes that
instead of all the names being printed
on one ticket, each party have a separ
ate ticket. He bases his recommenda
tion on the fact that as the law now is
it amounts to an educational qualifica
tion aud placed too much power in the
hands of the judges of election, who, as
the law now stands, are delegated to
mark the ticket of those who cannot
read, thus enabling judges to exercise
supervision over the voters. Referring
to the dual houses, the governor says in
part;
It is to be regretted that a body wrongfully
assuming to be the house of representatives,
met in the place designated by the auditor of
the state, and mibiuwrprt-ted the proclama
tion issued by the governor. I call upon
these recalcitrant members to stand not upon
a matter of punctilio, in the face of such
danger to the state, but to join with their
colleagues in tbe transaction of the public
business. Let us hope that your wisdom ruiiy
provide a speedy ana satisfactory solution of
tne pending difficulties.
To-night the deadlock, owing to there
being two houses, seems to be as far
from settlement as ever. The Demo
crats in the senate will refuse to pro
ceed with the organization of that body
until the rump" Republican house of
lepresentatives joins the Democratic
body, thus preventing the legislature
from going into joint session and elect
me senators. As the matter stands
now, the Democrats have thrown th^.
blame of the deadlock li pon the absent'
Republican nnreseotatives, and at the
same time retain their power to prevent
the Republicans doing any business.
Their position is expressed in the
words,
''BOTH TOOF.TIIER,"
That is. the senate will complete its
organization when the Republicans act
in such manner that the house can
transact business at the same time the
senate does. The Democrats say they
have strengthened their position by
going into th« senate, as it enables the
governor to recognize the Democratic
house and at the same time, in
case the Republican senators should
violate all precedents, declare the senate
organized and go into joint session with
the Republican house, the Democratic
senators can then go into the Demo
cratic house and also elect two senators,
and thus leave-the settlement with the
United States senate. The Republican
leaders, who thought if the Democrats
came into the senate it would give the
former the key to the situation, now
realize their mistake aud act as though
they had been caught napping- Inter
esting developments are looked for in a
few days.
ORDWAY IS A STAYER.
He Proposes to Expose the Cor
rupt ion of His Party.
Special to the Globe.
Bismarck, N. D.. Dee. 17.— The re
port that ex-Gov. Ordway would pro
ceed to Washington before returning to
Bismarck, to procure documentary evi
dence to refute the charge of bribery
preferred atainst him by Senator Jud
La Moure, is confirmed by a private
message from him received to-day. Ord
way will not let the matter rest without
answer, as his enemies have claimed,
but will file an answer and return to
the fight. He has declared his intention
to be a factor in the United States sen
atorial tight next year, and he rail leave
nothing undone to defeat his
opponent?. This feeling is re
ciprocal, and those who are opposed
to him, and who support Senator La
Moure in his charges of bribery and
corruption, swear that they will not
permit Ordway to have anything to say
in political management if they can
prevent it. The interesting feature of
the situation is the unbroken
SU,EX<K OF M. IT. JOJHfSOTf,
the Scandinavian candidate for the
United (States senate, who claims to
have refused a Sio.ooo consulate and
f-23,000 in ca-.li offered him by one of the
factious, presumably for the transfer of
the Totea of his friends doring the sec
tional contest. The press of the state
is now making a call on the indiscreet
Johnson to give the name of the man who
made the offer or to admit that he is
willing to cover fraud and countenance
corruption. It bosxins to look a< though
he will be forced to five the name of
the man who made the offer, in which
event the whole political caino will go
up in an explosion, and many RepnbbV
eaos least suspected will be involved.
Johnson in tlio past has been looked
upon as an unbalanced but huiie.it man,
but now he has placed himself in a
position win* re he must complete his
expose or be ranked among tho indiffer
ent. Thus far he has been silent. The
prohibitory bill* which has filled the
city with XT. C. T. U. lobbyists, and
liquor men was given n lively whirl in
the senate to-day, and although the pro
hibitionists have a majority
TIIKY KELT, FATt SHORT
of the two-thirds vote which they had
hi the house and which is necessary to
place the law in effect before July 1,
several amendments have already 1 been
made. Tins .necessitates sending the
bill back to the house where the amend
ments will meet with a cool reception.
The senate has been working on the
bill, section by section, tor. three days,
and is not yet half way through ii. Dur
ing to-day's discussion some fiery
Speeches Wei'e'riuuV, and after some
artistic parliamentary sparring the op
ponents of the bill secured an adjourn
without ' Riving : the bill a privileged
place. It now goes into the order of un
liulshed business, to take it from which
will require a two-thirds vote. This is
more ttau tb.e prohibitionists cau mus
ter, and the bill may not be reached be
fore next Friday night, when the holiday
adjournment will be taken. It will then
be Jan . 7 before it can be again consid
ered, and it is intimated that by that
time some concessions will be made.
However this may be, liberals are
pleased over the predicament of the
prohibitionists, some going so far as to
say that the action of the senate will
bring about a row between the houses.
That the house
WILL REFUSE TO GOSCTB
and that no enforcement law will be
passed, thus postponing the time when
prohibition can go into effect in the state
until such time as may be fixed by the
legislature, which convenes in January,
1891. The memorial to congress asking
for a grant of 5 per cent of the value of
lands heretofore disposed of by the
general government for school purposes
was reported back favorably. A bill to
suppress immoral publications was
given a favorable report The bill
appropriating money for the erec
tion of an agricultural college
at Fargo which has already passed the
senate, and for which congress has ap
propriated S1;j,000 annually, was to-day
favorably reported upon by the house
committee, and will come up for final
passace to-morrow. If it passes it will
furnish the first opportunity to test
Gov. Miller on his economical message.
Representative Natt has struck out at
cigarettes by introducing a bill for the
prevention of the sale of cigarettes to
minors under sixteen years of age. It
prescribes tine and imprisonment. The
bill regulating the leasing of school
lands was passed by the house. It is
estimated that under this bill, $150,00 C
will bo realized this year for the public
schools.
HOW'S THIS, NKUEMIAEL?
Ex-Gov. Orrtway Was Not Exon
erated by a Grand Jury.
Special to the Glodc
Yanktox, S. D., Dec. 17. -Ex-Gov.
Ord way's statement that he was exon
erated by a grand jury in this city of
the charges preferred against him sev
eral years ago is untrue. In an inter
view the ex-governor, replying to Jud
La M cure's charges, stated that all the
earlier allegations were investigated by
a Yankton grand jury and by two agents
of the department of justice, and in
both cases he was completely exoner
ated. Several times during the sena
torial campaign in North Dakota Ord
way gave currency to a similar state
ment, trusting, doubtless, to the forget
fulness of the public. But the memory
of the United states court at Yankton
is the record thereof, and it is therein
written that the grand jury brought an
indictment against Nehemiah G. Ord
way. It is also a matter of record that
he "was duly arraigned, and through his
counsel, Cush K. Davis, moved to set
aside the proceedings on the ground
that a territorial governor, under the
laws of the United States, could not be
tried for alleged crimes, but must be
subjected lo impeachment. The court
sustained the motion, and this is how
he was exonerated by the giaod jury.
BLEW HIS HEAD TO ATOMS.
Horrible Suicide of a South. Da
kota Farmer.
..il to the Glooe.
"" Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. 17.— John
Foster, a well-to-do farmer living in
Grand Meadow township, a few miles
west of this city, deliberately committed
suicide in a most horrible manner to
day. He drove away in the morning
from his home in Grand Meadow in
good spirits, bidding his friends good
bye in a jolly manner. He took his
shotgun along with him, and said when
he left that he was going to shoot any
Jack rabbits that he might come across.
When he arrived in Taopi township, ac
cording to the reports, he stopped at
several places and chatted pleasantly
with acquaintances. After leaving the
last he drove along the road a short dis
tance, deliberately got out of the wagon,
took his gun and placed the barrels un
der his chin and pulled the triggers
with a stick, discharging both barrels.
The result was that his head was torn
in shreds by the shot. When those
watching him reached the spot where
the body was lying. Foster was dead.
No cause 'is assigned for the suicide.
Foster was about thirty years of age, a
moderate drinker, and well in favor
with the city politicians.

St. Cloud, Minn., De?. 17.— Last
September the board of county commis
sioners of this county passed a resolu
tion providing for the appointment of a
committee to investigate the suicide of

was committed to the asylum at St.
Peter during that month. Two days
after the man had been sent to St.

board the investigating committee
states that it cannot refrain from ex
pressing its opinion that the death of
Lambert Lenz was directly attributablo
to criminal negligence. The board ac

Chicago. 111., Dec. There was %
sound of weeping in the visitors' cage of
the jail this morning. The friends of
the four men who were yesterday con
victed in Judge McConnell's court room
called on them to-day and deplored
their fate. Mrs. Coughlin leaned against
the iron bars anil sobbed as though her"
heart would break. She kept her hand
kerchief to her eyes and wept while her
tall husband whispered through tbe
wire screen such words of comfort and
consolation as ho could command.
O ? Sulli\an's sister paid the iceman a
visit, and she wept auite as bitterly as
Mrs. Coughlin over her brother's fate.
She was accompanied by herhusoand and
here as in the case of Coughlin and his
wife the person whom fate had struck
the hardest was the one who was dome:
the comforting. Knnze's sweetheart
and a lady friend called upon the Ger
man suspect and Kunze was jocose and
tried to cheer them up. He had a! mo?fc
recovered from his lachrymose feelings
of yesterday and evidently enjoyed the
company of bis lady friends. " Burke,
was all alone. No one called to see him ;
and he did not seem to feel hurt at his ■
isolation. He was the same cool chap .
that he has been since the trial opened,
showing by his demeauer either a won- -
derful nerve or a resentless bravado of .
a quiet kind. The fact is that all the ;
prisoners know that the suspense of the
trial and waiting for the verdict baa
passed away, have taken heart again
and look forward with hope, the pos

CULVER IS A CRANK.
How the Cronin Jury Reached Its
;?:■ Verdict.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 17.-State's At
torney Loqgeneckcr this morning, after
a conference with one of the Cronin
jury whose name he withheld, told how .
the verdict was reached. As surmised. .
Juror John Culver, who spent modi of
his spare time during the long evenings
reading the Bible, was4he influential
factor. The 'first, incident in this con
nection occurred While the trial was in
progress— the time when. Mrs. Cojifclia
testified. That evening Mr. Culver noti
fied his fellow-jurors that he solemnly
believed she ; had committed perjury.
Later Mrs. Hoertel, he ' thought was a
liar, and Martinson the expressman did
not really know Burke, while the
Carlsons . were • plainly telling
falsehoods. To illustrate as to
Expressman Martinson. Mr. Culver told
of a mistake made by the wife of his
partner, who one day saw a man riding
in a buggy who she was sure was Cul
ver, when in point of fact she was en
tirely mistaken. Culver, as the trial
neared the end, seemed to see in nearly
every witness for the state a vindictive
or a purchased perjurer. He plainly
hinted that it.
looked like A coxsrirjArr -
on the state's part. The matter of hnv-.
ing witnesses under the charge of de
tectives was one of the things ho
thought looked bad. He wasn't sure
Dr. Cronin ever went to the Carlson
cottage, and when asked, "How do you
account for the bloody trunk?"' said:
"Why. for all we know, a dog may have
been taken away in it." The cause
of Cronin's death had not been
proved, he continued, and he was
impressed with the idea that Daniel
Coughlin had a good 'face."' When the
time for balloting arrived, Culver voted '-
for the acquittal of all the defendant - -
He steadfastly declared that Beggs,
particularly, he would not send to jail, 3
even for one day. The result was a j
long struggle and repeated ballots, end- ;
ing in the compromise verdict an- •
nounced. Farmer Pierson had voted
steadily for the execution of all five de- •
fendants, and was the last man to yield.
It was he who was holding out toward
the end, and not until an hour or so be
fore the verdict reached the public did
he give in to the entreaties of his com
rades. The leading thought of the ma
jority of the jurors other than Culver
and Pierson seemed to be to prevent a
disagreement. They\ apparently be
lieved that a mis trial was what had
been aimed at by the defense. '
INADEQUATE TO THE CRIME.
The Verdict in the Cronin Case
Satisfies Nobody in Great Brit
ain.
London, Dec. 17.— The verdict in the
case of the Cronin murderers is a pro
lific source of newspaper comment
throughout the kingdom, and is pro
ductive of perfect satisfaction to nobody.
To the few journals openly or covertly
sympathizing with the prisoners on va
rious grounds, the finding of the jury
seems vindictive and totally at variance
with the evidence as they profess to in
terpret it. These papers arc, of course,
dissatisfied, and are early In tiie field
with predictions that the convicted men
will be acquitted if they are granted a
new trial; but happily journals of this
character are few and wholly with
out influence or standing. On the other
hand, the great majority of the papers.
Liberal and Conservative, regard the
penalties fixed by the jury as ridicu
lously inadequate to the enormity of the
crime the prisoners were plainly con
victed of, and are consequently inclined
to express their great disappointment
that the wretches are not to be hanged
forthwith. Nevertheless they agr^o
that there is much reason for congratu
lation that they are to suffer life im
prisonment, and predict that no pardon
ing power will ever be found having the
hardihood to defy universal public opin
ion by mitigating the severity of the
judgment pronounced upon them.
Turning their attention to the moral in
fluence of the caso, the Tory papers are
pessimistic to the last degree is estimat
ing its effects upon the Irish-Americans,
several of the leading journals declar
ing that it is too much to hope that even
the exposures of the aims and methods
of Irish societies, laid bare at the trial, .
willjprevent Americans from subscrib
ing money in large sums for the support
of those murderous organizations.
