Thing We Haze to Fight.
A Cincinnati jury convicted sa-

we're compelled to do or commit
perjury. Because they would not
commit perjury, they are mal;gned
snd boycotted.
Read the following as clipped
from the Com. Gazette:
official Communication of the Saloon
Keepers Society to Herman Bell
stedt one of the Jurors IN the Dunn
Case:
At the last meeting of the Saloon
keepers Society committee re-
ported the names and residences of
those who composed the jury in the
late James Dunn case, and it was
resolved to send letter to each
one of them, denouncing the YER
dict rendered, and in all practical
cases, threatening to withdraw the
salooon-keepers' patronage from
them.
Here is a sample letter sent TO
one of the iurymen, Mr.. Herman
Bellstedt, musician ID cigar deal
or, at $50 Race street,
"Mr. Herman Bellstedt:
cit was resolved in the last ses-
sion of the Saloon keepers Society
ito adopt retaliation measures
against all those business men who
indeed cultivate commercial rela-
tions with the n-keepers, but
whenever an opportunity presents
itself, are inimical to their Justly
claimed interests.
GAS musician, whose occupa-
ton largely depends upon the pat
ronageof saloonkeepers,c oncert-hall
and hill top proprietors, you should
not only have guarded their inter
ests, but those of your colleagues.
GAS musician you know very
well that no ball can be given in
winter, if the police hour is strict
ly enforced, as the ball festivities
do not reach their highest point
until after IL o'clock, and frequent
ly do not close before 3, 5 or 7
o'clock in the morning.
"You also know that even if these
festivities are continued within
closed doors after midnight, this,in
the nature of the case, is just as
illegal a proceeding.
mo society will give balls and
engage musicians as long as the
festivity may continue only three
hours, from 9 to IL o'clock.
"And you, as musician, gave
your vote for the confirmation of
the police hour instead Of putting
an end to this condition of affairs,
wholly unworthy of Cincinnati, BY
simple, manly No.
"The Volksblatt' wrote at the
time: "A juryman, who is convic-
ted Of the guilt of the accused, in
trespasslng against certain law,

grievous sin by declaring him in
nocent, if he considers the law in
question injurious, unjust or un-
popular"
This question in the Dunn case
was before your conscience and no
other, and at the same time it was
test case for the rejection or pres
ervation of the police hour.
"But you did not possess the
courage to defend the interests of
your association and the affiliated
saloon business.
"Nor did you possess the courage
to withdraw from a jury for which,
as you have proven, you were not
competent.
"After all this the Cincinnati
Saloon-keepers' Society has come
to the conclusion that it owes you
special thanks for the continued

Go we'll to heed
" The young men who receive pro
motion are the young men VINO DO not

hanging In the air. They are not the
