West Virginia, Ohio and other States, is
considered in its political relations, and
especially in connection with the Ohio
Senatorial election, several interesting
facts can be sisted, which naturally are
classified under the cited conditions.
| While it is comforting to rely upon
the principle that the political DONNA
tion of this company cannot long con-
tlnue over the Democratic party in Ohio,
yet the mischief that may be wrought in
a period, however brief, demands that
the masses who constitute the snbstance
OF the Democratic party be aroused that
its further encroachments may be arres-

ambitions array that party under the
standard of monopoly and thus surren-

the organization that never again can the
Democratic of Ohio be summoned under
some gallant leader to oppose as ore

DUBLIN April 4.-The trial of the pris
oners charged with the Phoenix Park
murder and other crimes, which was ex-
pected to begin Tuesday next, will be
postponed for a few days, owing to the
fact that sufficient funds have not been
raised to conduct the defense of the pris-
oners. 1t is the intention of the accused
men, when asked on the arraignment if
they are ready for trial, to request that
they be furnished with counsel. The

Hans Yager Witnesses q Trial.

The following description of trial of
two boys before a Newport Squire
evening before last, given by Herr Hans
Yager to his friendly neighbor on his
return home after witnessing it, is
characteristic of that venerable Teuton' S
logic and manner of expressing himself
in the English language. The arrest
and trial of the two boys on the charge
of disorderly conduct and breach of the
peace (singing in subdued tone of
voice on the sidewalk) was caused by
Private Policeman MartZoIf through a
feeling of spite in order to somewhat
cover up the disgrace in being severely
pummeled in the face by the naked fists
OF another eighteen-year-old small boy
whom the officer attempted to arrest for
calling him bad name. The boy not
only worsted the officer but ran off with
his hat as trophy of victory, all of
which was. of course, very wrong and a
violation of decorum in matters of ar
rest, for he did not even give the big of
ticer time to get out his mace The
chances are had he got out his mace he
might have whipped the small boy.
Hams neighbor said to him: ''Been
