Tho Jury disngrcod, although tho four voted tho
n.nn Of sin to be guilty. It Ia possible tho four
ablo-bodiod young men had prejudice against
bcor and did not drink. Dry goods olorks novor
do. It Is possible they wero mad at having to
soryo thoir country In jury-box, md vontod
their indignation upon tho defendant. People
always aro mad whom thoy arc on Jury. Whit
over tho cauBo may have been, thoy voted for
tho guilt OF tho ncouaod. Then eomo ovil-mind-
cd porson reported to tho Staaks zct!nng that
thoy had not only convicted German, but
that thoy bud also, in tho most reckless
manner, proposed to damn tho Dutoh1nan."
It Inns since boon proven TINT thoy didn't any
anything Of tho kind, although It would not
havo boon anything vory remarkable It thoy had,
~ jurymon aro usually in a condition Of mind
favorable not only to "dsmning Dutchmhn,"
but damni1g everybody elso.
The gtdats Zettung. however, did not take this
comprehensive and highly philosophical Wow Of
thlnga. It poured hot shot I'LL a1ong tho limo
Into tho four clorks who served, and tho five
clcrks who didn't servo, and into tho firm which
pays tho nine clerks their weekly stiponds. It
made things very lively round at Field d Loitor's,
nnd 1t called the clerks all manner Of
names, aucl as mummytled Yankcos, wator-sn-
plotons, Know-Nothinga, hypocritcs and asscs,
to be all Of which Ia certainly worso than to bo
"a damned Dutchman." Tho fight was growing

goods establishment which had an eye for busi-

bcon sent, and ho vas ono Of tho customers Of
Ficld 4 Leitor, but he could not appreciate the
disintoroatod Kindness OF tho other concern, aud
ho did not undo1stand tho sudden interest which
It took IN his aifairs. Alr. Koehn may or may
not be IN advocate Of boor. It mnkos little dif-

advantage of F. d. L. ho will continue to buy of
them, ovon though it should be proven TINT they
wero doing their utmost to suppress tho manu-
facturo Of Bier and Wurat and Pret2ol. And we
presume that all other aormans take tho same
common aonao view Of the matter. In which
case, tho third party who has mixed
in for tho purpose OF accunulating dimes and
auca.a will probably hayo an Interesting time Of

they aro not principals. II tho Gormans havo a

Mr Koeh1 is IN Indication that the bono is q

traordinary action Of tho authorities OF San
Francisco in passing ordinances which dlscrin
