NEW y DIRK, OCTOBER Ia, 1915.
The trials of the Anli-Renters have, for the pre-
SENT been brought to close. Never, perhaps, was
there case in which more injury had been done
by mistaken and false sympathy. These deud-
ed, and in some instances ignorant men, have been
led astay by implied promises, through the press,
of success, if they would band themselves together,
organize, and keep organized, in such manner as
to overawe their landlords. do not say that edi-
tors or printers anticipated intended any outrage
or violation Of law; but thinking men, they
ought TO have foreseen what consequences would
probably flow from such organization, and more
especially when urged on by unprincipled dema-
gogues.
/ Nor are the constituted authorities of the State
free from the most severe censure for supineness
and inactivity Had Governor WRIGHT. on the
first indication of an outbreak, seized the deln-
quens, and brought them, ~ Ell drais if necessary,
| to rigid accountability, there would have been no
murders, no hanging, no treason. The Governor
may have been influenced by the most humane
feelings but his humanity has proved to be, in its
effect, cruelty. And ever now, with all that has
occurred before our eyes, portion of the commu-
nifty are blending this question with the exciting
questions of politics which agitate the country, and
endeavoring in this manner to keep up an organiza-
ton of Ant-Renters. What is to be expected from
this system but further riots and murders Under
such circumstances, can the Executive clemency be
safely exercised
OConner and Fan Steen5erg have been con-
victed of murder, and have been sentenced to be
hung on the Goth of November next -Four other
persons have been convicted and sentenced to be
confined in the State prison for life. Thirteen are
to be confined for various periods, from t,0o to
screen years, according to the extent Of their crii-
nality.
The Industrial Congress convene this day.
They have determined, however, to hold their ses-

very judicious.

The Irish Collegiate bill is again being revived in

Murray. The Government, in the mean time, moth
