The Great Trial at Dublin.

The preliminary investigation OF
the alleged murderers Of Lord Cav
ondish aud Mr. Burke, now and for
several days past progressing in Dub
lin, may well elicit the earnest inter
est Of every Irishman or friend OF
ireland. Slowly but surely the gov
ernment counsel are weaving web
of direct evidence around the pris-
oncrs that cannot but result in their
conviction aud legal punishment.
The disclosures made from day to
day are so disgusting and yet CON
viuciug in their nature that even
the most patriotic lrishmen
have turned aside in horror and
repudiated any and all SYM
pathy with the as-assins Sympa-
th.zcrs they have, in abundance, but
they are not among the class who APP

would be no occasion for wasting

Unfortunately, however, it is all Ire

The DAILY Press and Railroad Leg.
lslatlOn

fhc Clcburnc Chronicle has reached
the conclusion that the daily press OF
the state is not only utterly unrelia-
bic AS an exponent Of public senti-
mcut, but that its uttUrauce- are COM
paralivcly unhcard aud unhccded.
The Chronicle -ays:

1hore is no occasion to combat the
assertion OF the Chronicle with refer.
cnco to the number Of people who
seek their information from the daily
press, M compared with those who
rely exclusively upon weekly news.
papers. TAe Examiner is prepared
TO prove that dozen daily papers
| (Which it can namc) in Texas have at
the very least an aggregate Of 10000
bona iide daily subscribcrs and
readers. Ghc Chronicles ratio, a
thousand readers OF wcckies to ten
of dalies, would give the weckics aIl
aggregate Inst oi iO,OOO,OOO readers
nearly the cutirc population of the
Bnited States thus being subscribers
to the hundred or so County
week lies of Texas. The Chronicle
is truly an adept at iigures and esti-
mates. But the animus of our
cotcmporary's remarks il con-
tained in It's assertion that the dailics
have found out that there should be
no railroad legislation" We fear
that the Chronicle is AS unguardcd in
this assertion as in its "thousand to
ten" estimate. The EXAMINER re-
ccives all the daily papers in the state
and reads them regularly. If there is
even one, out OF the entire number,
that antagomizes railroad legislation,
we do not.know of it. 1t may be that
