Dispatches TO the Cleveland HeEald

TrFFIx, April The aspect of she
crusade in this city had assumed a
lukewarm appearance to many and
the election of Monday did not to
any alarming extent infuse vigor in
the movement, but on Tuesday the
ladies, two hundred strong, came
ont and marching to Nicholas Bar
tells saloon, in the Second ward,
brought the whole force to bear up-
or him. He soon caved and his
stock of liquors were rolled out and
emptied in the gutter. Then began
an auction that Tiffin never saw be-
fore. The empty beer mugs and
lemonade glasses were bid off, some
bringing as high as six dollars, and
the proprietor ola dirty saloon Tues
day morning, in the evening was the
proprietor of frSt-claSs boarding
house and has the snug sum of SI25
as memento of one row of bottles
and twenty beer mugs.

all the morning but the women rx-

men was stopped just in time. At
ter dinner four horses hitched to a
platform drew the band and all the
saloon keepers but two, each with a
broom, around the town. A rnfian,

played. The notorious William Shaw
harrangued from the wagon to rest

intense excitement prevailed. The
Mayor and town council could not
stop this mfamy, but they side with
the ruffians. The women are more

Juries on criminal trials IN Eng
land are paid for their time on a
scale far more liberal than that
acted upon in this country. In the
recent Tichborne case the jury actu-
ally sat for one hundred and eighty
nine days, and claimed payment at
the rate of two guineas a day, which
would have been 949o (equal to So
45O) for each of the twelve. This
has not been allowed; but the Brit
ish government has paid f3OO to
each juror, making a gross payment
of $4,000 to these gentlemen.-
Large as this amount is, it cannot
compensate eleven of them, who are
engaged in business, for the loss and
inconvenience caused by their occu-
patton of time during nearly ten
months.

Mr. Stern, OF the New York Com
missioners of Charities, has replied
to the charges of one of his asssoci-
ates that Tweed lives in luxury on
Blackwell's Island, and is so slackly
guarded that he could walk out Of
prison if he chose. He says that
twenty-five keepers stand between
Tweed and escape, all of whom would
have to be bribed before he could re-
gain his liberty. He does not con-
ceal the fact that the Boss of all the
thieves is treated to better quarters
than his fellow-conviets, and contents
bimself with saying that it is not
worth while to make martyr of
Tweed by unnecessary severity.

Kullman.

A German party of this name ba,

awakes say that he was employed by Bis
marck himself to do it and that the wound
was inflicted before the martyr got into his
carriage, 30 as to be ready for the occasion.
All such speculations are premature, how
ever, as circumstances will probably deter
mine whether the assault was real or sham.
Inc meanness of the thing comes in.
however, in the instantaneous effort that
was made to identify the Catholic Church
with the crime, if there was one. The
church does not teach assassina alton, it does
not permit assassination under apy cir.

most dastardly crime, 70 matter if
directed against the most detestable ,vrant

vlolatlngT We know that there are had
Catholics, men of certain religious convic
tions but of the most irreligious practices.
These men do not even make prentense of
fulfilling their 1eligiaus duties. They
never approach the sacraments, and, in
many instances, never enter a church door
yet they are Catholics. Sometimes there ia
political excitement in which a com.
munity is divided on the religious basis.
Passions run high. The bad on either side
are ready for violence and crime. An out
break takes place which the Church is un
able to control, outrages are perpetrated
which she abhors, but, because Catholics
did it, she gets the blame. And, vet, the
criminals were bad Catholics, acting, in
their frenzy, not as Catholics, but as
pontlcal partizans. Such was the case in
the so-calied massacre of St. bartholomew.
1t may be that Kullman is Catholic.

Ward Club Dictators.

1t has been found exceedingly difficult
to devise means of getting rid of these
pests. Politics in cities are run by nro-
fessionai strikers. These fellows, for q
few dollars in hand and the expectancy of
some small sinecure under future Office
holder, take on themselves the organiza
tion of clubs and committees and conyen.
tions and all the political wire. working
from which nominations result. Their
chief pecularities are noisy impudence and
certain rubicund complexion which comes
from being always soaked with whiskey.
These are the patriots who take charge of
our public affairs with the vast solicitude
which we see exhibited during every can
vass.
Numberless remedies for this political
disease have been recommended, but with.
out any success hitherto. The people who
control nominations, and of course cleo
tions, are ambitious aspirants, generally
without qualification or merit, and their
pot t-house retainers who nominate them
for consideration. Orc of the schemes
most in vogue at present for countervailipR
this evil, is to form kind of third party
without candidates of it's own, the mem
bers of which shall bind themselves to vote
for the best nominees of the two great
parties 1t is hoped by this means to force
the policy of good nominations on both of
them. But If neither should choose
to make decent nominations, the third |
party would be in a very lonesome condi- |

Father Ryan at the North.

At the mission of three weeks duration
given by Father Ryan in St. Mary's Church
Troy, N: Y, there were eight thousand
Communions, and twenty -eight converts.
Father Ryan never failed to, preach four
times each day. The last day lie preached
eight times. When broken down by such
work he bade farewell, it was fearful to
see the grief of the immense crowds. Men.
women and children wept bitterly, and
and rushed around the priest to bid good
bye and get his blessing.
Tho day after the mission closed, we are
sorry to state that Father Ryan had a
hemorrhage which prostrated him SO that
he could not, save at the risk of life, fulall
his engagement in Virginia. We are
glad however, to know, that Father RYAN
is going to get through his engagements as
rapidly as possible in order to return home
early in the Fall.
