FREE IRELAND.
Tho Rossas and Flneetys On the StSlke-
Labor Notes From Various


Sections.
The Irish league Of Augusta, Ga, Sat-
urday adopted resolutions approving the
proceedings and adopting the platform of
the Irish National League convention at
Philadelphia.
John F. Finerty, delegates of the Sixth
Ward Land League Of Chicago, in the
Philadelphia convention, made his report
to the body which he represented. Mr..
Finerty is reported as saying that "he
went there (to Philadelphia) to do his
duty, regardless of the political unpopu'
larity which it might entail. he was, as
result, misrepresented by the Eastern
press, which classed him with the dyna
| mite faction. He favored supporting
Parnell, and would have not antagonized
| the new league. Irishmen must rather
suffer injustice, than have the English
government believe them not in harmony
Those who complained of want of free
speech in Ireland should consider that
there was no free speech in Philadelphia. u
| O'DonOvan Rosa, in New York yester
day, established another branch of the
Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood. Abou,
100 members were initiated, and resolu

ton. 1t was decided to hold a mass
meeting "to express views on" the latter
body. Captain John Kerwin was elected

Trial by Jury.

It seems that of the twelve jurymen
who sat on the case of Major Phipps,
eleven had determined to convict him
before they heard the evidence, and upon
the general principle OF his notorious
wrong-doing. That the commonwealth
would have been otherwise hard put to
to make out case against him is con-
fessed even by those who were most earn
est and anxious to have him punished.
A charge of forgery had to be made to
secure his extraditiOn and the evidence
to sustain this was Of such doubtful
character that it would not have con
victed anybody except one of as gener
ally bad repute as Phipps. The prota
bility that the testimony against him
was not worthy of credit and that it
would not have convicted a man OF ordi-
nary reputation is enhanced by the con
fidence with which his counsel declare
that Phipps did not commit the forgery
for which he was tried, that they know
the man who did commit it and that
they have his written confession.
This may be only bluff it may he fact
and so long as the lawyers tell no more
than this, it of course cannot 60 to the
clearance of their client. 1t might in
Lancaster county, to be sure, where, in
the recent notorious Heilig case. it was
disclosed that all defendant needs to
get off is for his counsel to tell the dis
trict attorney that there is nothing in
the case. But in Philadelphia the pro-
testations of Phipps' counsel that some
body else committed the crime for which
their client was convicted, will not
avail him, unless they proceed to have
the alleged real culprit indicted ard
convicted.
The developments of the case, how
ever, serve to illustrate the popular way
Of viewing jury trials. Notwithstanding
the scantiness of the evidence against
Phipps, in the particularcase which has
been tried, had he been acquitted there
would have been an Outburs: of popular
indignation like that which followed the
verdict in the Dukes case, because the
popular mind is so we'll fixed in it's iudg
ment that Phipps is guilty man that it
does not stop to consider whether or not
he is guilty as indicted. And eleven of
the jury which tried him apparently went

into the box with this conviction and
purpose. 1t is hard to tell what influences
outside of the evidence influence jury
men in their conclusions. In a case
recently called for trial in our courts, one
of the impanelled twelve declared that
he would never have found for one of
the parties to it because he had once got
the better of the irate juror in buggy
trade and in the insurance case tried
last week, wherein the plaintiff was nom
suited, it is well known in legal circles
that one of the jurors at least was stead
lily against the defendant, because, as he
related with gusto, during his service
on the jury he went to the company's
Office and made practical experiment to
satisfy himself that its agent would take
overdue premiums.
Nevertheless these things do not
prove, as is sometimes claimed, the folly
of requiring a unanimous verdict from a
jury and that majority or two.thirds
ought to suffice to render It but rather
that it should take all of the twelve te
make sure that at least some of then
were influenced by the testimony alone
in reaching their conclusion.

THE Philadelphia Erening Neus serves

publican contemporaries may recon-
cile their wide differences in their
own way, the Telegraph must not base
its conclusions on any such per
version of facts as that the Re
publicans voted ior Pattison by
thousands and that " if every Demo
crat in the state had voted for him, they
could not have elected him, even with
the Republican party divided !; it was
the Republican votes he got which gave
him his large plurality.' AS we have
frequently demonstrated by incontro
vertible figures, Mr.. Pattison received
very few Republican votes he wa:
elected by Democratic votes such were
nearly all that he received, rs is showl
by the fact that the aggregate vote ii
