In his Fast Day proclamation last spring,
Governor Butler took particular pains to insult
the clcrgymen of Massachusetts by advising
them not to preach on politics intimating that
that was not their business. In his ThankSSiv-
ing proclamation Just issued the Governor re-
trains from insult, but INDUCES i'll n long ser
mon Oh the duty of giving thanks. He winds up
this remarkable document by quoting verse
from a hymn. If the clergy were given to re-
partee they might now turn upon the Governor,
and Justly advise him to let preaching alone.
The politicians at the City Hall are asserting
with great confidence that it is all arranged by
Tammany Hall and the County Democracy that
Richard Croker and Daniel O'Rcillcy are to sue
coed Police Justices Morgan and Herman.
That these confident gentlemen may prove to
be wholly mistaken will be the earnest wish of
every man who cares for the good name of the
city and desires clean judicial appointments 1t
can hardly be possible that Mayor Edison will
consent to send these two names to the Alder
men. 1t would be hard to find among all the
politicians of the city two men more conspicu
IL unfit for MI MgsST.
Croker and 0Reilley.
The disagreement of the jury in the case of
Poole, who is charged with the murder of a sup
posed informcr in 1882 is additional proof, if
any is needed, that trials of this kind in Dublin
are prosecutions but not prosecutions. The
charge of the judge was heavily against the
prisoner; but the facts which he commented
upon as being most significant were only sup
ported by the testimony of the infOrmcr Lamie.
This the jurors apparently would not accept,
and accordingly no verdict could be reached.
If this is not proof that the jury was not packed
nv the English authorities, then it indicates that
II was tempered with by PooIe's friends. The
Irreconciables will probably deny both these
theories; but such denial knocks all ground
of complaint from under their feet
The proceedings recently begun against the
executrix and trustees of the estate of Nlr.
Henry F. Durant, the well-known Boston law
yer. have an ugly look. The woman who now
claims to be the widow of Mr.. Durant admits
that she was once sent to the House of Cor
rection in South Boston, having been convicted
of stealing. Her career, both before that I'M
oleasant experience and since, is shown by her
own story to have been cratic in an extraOrdi-
mary degree. In view of these facts, it seems re-
markable that reputable lawyers should have
been willing to touch the case. 1t is proper to
