but that the government shall not endow any
institution for teaching theology in Ireland.
Mr.. Balfour declared, however, that he
would never advise his colleagues in
the ministry to embark upon this
arduous enterprise unless the following
absolutely necessary conditions were fulfilled:
(1) That the boon should be cordially accepted
by the intended reeipients-the Irish people;
(2) that the o6er shall not be used as politi-
cal weapon by one party in parliament against
its opponents; 90 that Englishmen, Scotchmen
and Irishmen shall all concur in offering this
boon. He confessed he saw no likelihood that
il would be accepted with these conditions. 1t
was never any part of his intention that gov
ernment should endow a catholic theological
chair. His only purpose had been to equip the
necessary chairs for the study of literature,
science medicine and law. He believed that
founding a complete university would be fatal
TO higher education in Ireland. because it would
remove the competition between catholics and
prOtestants.

REPUBLICAN ELECTION oUTRAeEs.
The Trial of George NJ. Ray at Winchester
For Political Effect.

The Trial of George NJ. Ray at Winchester
For Political Effect.
Evidences still continue to come up showing
how well the republicans planned their nefari-
Gus schemes to carry Indiana in the last gen.
eral election. Not even a single point that
could be worked was left out of those plans.
The word was given by that scoundrel Dudley
to his lieutenants TO carry Indiana, no matter
what it cost, either in money principle. To-
day at Winchester will occur the trial of George
Ray of Shelbyvllle, on the charge of bribery.
Mr. Ray is a travelling man, and at Winchester,
in endeavoring to sell bill of goods to a re-
publican, and perhaps offering one of the Gus
tOmary inducements of all travelling men, gave
that republican a shadow of a reason for caus-
ing his arrest on very technical point OF law.
1t is made bribery in Indiana for any person to
offer trader an amount of money as an induce
ment to buy goods. 1t was under that section
of the statute Mr.. Ray was claimed to have
committed bribery. Whether he did or not re-
mains for the court to decide. 1t is not be-
lieved that he did. Immediately after the
election the prosecution wished to drop the
case, thereby showing clearly and beyond a
possible doubt that the only object of the ar
rest was to keep Mr.. Ray away from the polls
on the day OF election. 1t was a scheme con-
cocted for that purpose only. In this the
schemers failed, as their to-be victim immedi-
ately gave bond, and, just the same. worked at
the polls at his home. The case was first
brought before Judge Monks of Winchester,
but he refused to drop the case after election,
and a change of venue was taken. Judge
Hord and Edward Adams, who will defend Mr..
Ray-that is, if there is any defense to make
were in the city yesterday, together with Mr..
Ray, on their way to Winchester.

Wet IN of the Crime.
FRANLLIN. Nov. 3O.-CSpecial. THE case of
NOrben Bohall, charged with the murder of
William Perkinson OF Indianapolis, has been
occupying the attention of the court for the
past week, is attracting large crowds. The
murder was committed Aug. 81 in the saloon of
Hellerick & Wilson. Bohall has declared his
innocence repeatedly, and denies that he had q
knife on the fatal night. The state completed
its examination of its main witnesses yesterday.
Three of them, Goff Logan and Tanhorn, hav-
ing testified to seeing BOhall do the
cutting. Witnesses for the defense were
then put on the stand. Several per
sons were called to corroborate the
statement that Logan was of bad repute and
William Lawhorn was called and contradicted
the states witness, I.ige Lawhorn, in his testi-
mony. Vincent Bohall, the brother of the pris-
oner. testified to PerkinsOn attempting to force
his brother to drink glass OF beer He claims
to have seen no fight in which his brother was
was engaged, nor did he have a knife. Another
witness testified TO Perkinson's attempt to
force the beer on Bohall. Mrs. Bohall COM
pleted the testimony for the day. Seated on
girl playing on her lap, she testified that the
entire family had left home in the morning to
come TO town and see the Robinson show; that
Bohall had only one knife, and inferred al
though il was not admitted as evidence that
in changing his clothing that morning, her hus-
band had left his knife in the pocket of his old
trousers.
The jury brought in a verdc. at 10 o'clock
tonight, finding defendant guilty of assault and
battery and imposing fine of g. This is vir-
tually an acquittal and gives general satisfac-
ton 10 the public.

The decade from 1880 to 1890 will pass
into history rs associated with greater
material progress than any other in mod
ern times. The use Of electricity as q
motor and Illuminating agent has been q
demonstrated success in the last decade.
It has been introduced in nearly all the
great cities Of the world. Ten years ago
the use Of electricity, both for illumina-
ton and as q motor, was in the expert
mental stage. Its larger use may be still
experimental. It has not yet come into
general use in dwellings, nor has 1t been
employed to any great extent In moving
ships and railway trains. Ithas not taken
the place Of other motors TO any great ex-
tent for propelling street cars. But II its
use Is enlarged in the same ratio for an
other decade, at the end Of that period II
will become Of almost universal applica-
ton for small motors and for illumina-
ton. This larger use will, Of course, de-
pend upon large reduction in the cost.
Ten years ago there were no known facts
to warrant the prediction thst electricity
would be used in driving q great deal Of
machinery. The power was recognized,
but the economy Of use was not.
II was during the decade closing with
the present year that the steel rail for
railways came into universal use. The
iron rail has had il day. On some short
roads few tons Of iron rails may be laid,
and, In . limited way, old irOE rails may
be re-rolled, but the steel track has taken
the place Of the iron one. buring this
decade, also, steel has largely taken the
place Of iron In the building Of ships. 1t
has not wholly displaced the latter, but
the present tendency Is in that direction.
Il has also entered into the construction
Of all machinery TO an extent never known
In any former decade.
The science Of gunneFy has been revoi
lutionised within the decade now closing.
The rule 30 long recognized by nations
that each should have Jurisdiction over
the Sea . marine league, or three miles,
from the land was determined in that way
because three miles was about the old
range Of cannon. Each nation could
make good its dominion on the water
within the range Of cannon Shot. But
the longest range Of cannon reported dur
ing the present decade IL thirteen miles.
