than was the spectacle Of the same crowd in

Had Mr.. Gadstone's home rule bill passed
on its second reading, the world would have
been prepared for the threatened outbreak OF
the Orangemen of Ulster. 1t was surprise,
however, to find the defeat Of the bill follow
ed by burst of mob violence, not on the
part Of the defeated Nationalists, but by the
victorious Protestante. Belfast, the strong
hold OF the Orangemen's power, was for
whole night in the hands of an Infatuated
mob. Houses OF Catholics we're looted and
set on FIRE, and a veritable reign of terror ex-
listed until the military and police, after fierce
fighting, regained control. The riot was ap.
parenty wanton manifestation of the reli-
gous hatred which has never died out in Ire
land. Both the advocates and opponents oil
home rule will draw conclusions favorable to
their preconceived opinions The home ruler
can well emphasize the fact that the so-called
oyalists Of Ulster county have been the first
to break out into open resistance of the con
sttuted authorities while the conservative
Englishman will find fresh illustration Of
his theory that il Ireland were to be left tc
itself, it would be the scene OF a ceaselest
war between the two religious parties.

ONE of those oft recurring legal tangles has
happened at Nashville. A man named Hen
messy was found guilty by the jury, the in
dictment being dual one-false pretenses
and larceny. By an oversight the jury neg
lected to state on what count the verdict was
found, and was discharged before the error
was. discovered. With the customary per-
versity, it appears that the accused is likely to
escape punishment, for the reason that his Pc
tition for new trial was overruled, so that a
new trial cannot be had, Nor can the court
sentence the accused on either count, as the
offenses are Of different degrees. The proba-
bilities are that he will escape punishment,
the court being tied by technicalities. It
may be that some time the guilty will not be
given every advantage accruing from mis-
takes of trivial nature, while justice is made
mockery. It may be that in some coming
age the judge will be empowered, in such a
case, to infict punishment fitting the less
serious offense. This fellow has been found
guilty and cannot be guilty of less than the
less serious Of the offenses charged.

THE Journal desires again to call thu atten-
tion Of Republicans everywhere in the State
to the Importance Of nominating the very best
men they can command for the Office of town
ship trustee. The reasons why special care is
necessary at the present juncture are numer-
Gus and imperative. We have alluded to them
in detail before, and hardly feel it to be nee
essary to repeat them. But the widespread
frauds developed during the past year
have tainted the entire trustee system
of the State, and have aroused an unusual
feeling Of constituencies and alarm among tax
payers. Mere party nominations will not
answer now, if Republicans care to succeed,
or hope oput the party in position for aggres-
sive and successful work in the approaching
campaign. In all counties where there
are yet township trustees to nominate,
it should be seen to that no
mistakes are made or blunders
committed that will cost the party not only
the immediate results involved, but deprive it
of the sympathy and support it might other
wise have for the important fall elections.
We feel that we cannot press this too ear
nestly or too strongly. It done in the high
est interests of the party, because it is for the
best interests of the public. The Repub-
lican party must show itself ready to
respond to the demands of the people in every
emergency. In that responsiveness is its
strength. In so far as it does this it is strong;
in so far as it fails to do so, it is weak. Let it
be everywhere seen that the Republican party
is the peoples party, by the nomination of
candidates for the important Office of trustee
whose very names will be their bond for
faithful and intelligent administration of the
duties g.

ble being named Cape Washington. This was
on May l3 1882. The wonderful adventures and
terrible suffe-ings Of the men of this expedition
furnished material for almost an entire library
in itself, while their discoveries and observations
made would well-nigh equip another if related in
detail. Lieutenant Greedy has prepared an ad-
mirable history of this expedition, which has

Two handsome octave volumes of over

These contain fortvtwo full-page engravings
and more than hundred illustrations in the
text besides some maps. and one large folding
map showing the circumpolar region, the track
taken by various expeditions, signal stations
etc. National pride would make large demand
for these volumes were there nothing else to
recommend them. But they possess scientific
worth that will make them popular among
learned men in all parts of the world. They
are adapted to entertain and instruct
at the same time. The dreadful suffer
ings, the slow deaths by starvation, the fearful
frigidity of the long arctic winter the tardy res

matte as any of Victor Hugo's creations. The
style of the writer is simple but entertaining
