The CrOnin Verdict.

The first act of the CrOnin trial is
over COughlin, O'Sullivan and Burke
| get imprisonment for life, Kunze three
years of hard labor, and Beggs is ac-
! quilted. Whether reports are true
that this is q compromise verdict
that eleven were for the extreme pen
atty of the law for the trio, twenty
one years at hard labor for Beggs,
and fourteen for kunze; and whether
Juror Culver was the one who chung"
the jury until they finally agreed to
this modification, possibly time will
tell, and possibly not.
As to the facts in the case, perhaps
a resume should be made to refresh
the readers memory. Members of
the Clan-na-Gael, an Irish secret sOci-
ETY., conspired against Dr. Cronin, on
the ground that hewasa British spy.
Really, their trouble seems to have
been that Dr. Cronin was after them
for appropriating to private pur-
poses a large sum contributed for the
Irish cause. Suddenly the Doctor
disappeared, and soon his mangled
, re!Anfi1,ss vvere, dis.eovered and the
crime traced to these men,
The trial has been long, and the ex-
element was not all of it local. The
whole county has been startled, and
the attention of all classes drawn to
the case, as it related to secret socie-
ties under such a government as
ours; to the jury system; to the mis-
appropriation of money sincerely Civ
en- by the poor for definite object;
and to hepersonal danger OF officials
and witnesses in doing their duty.
Time will tell whether the jury of
public opinion is any better agreed,
or whether its majority are the near
est to the right. The case is not
out of the hands of this jury yet,
and whether such compromises as
this verdict will do some harm or
much harm to society, viii appear in
due time. But those who want to get
at the judgment of the Supreme Judge
of all, in all such cases, had better
read Deuteronomy xxi, and learn
how God holds the city nearest to the
body of the victim of uncertain MUIR
der stained with innocent blood, and.
moreover, counted the guilt a matter
of national Importance. not to be
cleahsed away unless all had been
done to prevent as well as to punish,
which human wisdom and effort could
do. Let us see Chicago and its Clan
na-Gael wash the hands, protest and
pray!
1t won't be six weeks, probably, be-
fore the women will descending flowers
to States prison for this very trio
if they ever get there, whichis not so
very certain; for motion for a new
trial is to be argued soon, and it al
ways seems as if able lawyers delight
in obstructing justice in this country.
When Napoleon undertook to quell a
Paris mob, he ordered the soldiers to
fire the first volley of loaded cartridg-
es-nOt blanks-right into the mob,
and, being obeyed, no second vOlley
was necessary. We should beglad to
see the executors of our laws, and par
ticularly the whole American bar, try
a like argument with conspicuous
villains and their hackers.

A Fraud Exposed.
STATE OF VERMONT,
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT
OF EDUCATION.


| To the Editor of the Free Press:
Sometime last August, Mr.. Goodrich, u for
mer teacher in this village, came to my Office
! and asked me to recommend a school chart
| that he was selling. | complied with his re-
quest As soon as | heard that his agents
were falsely pretending to school committees
that they had letter or writing from me
stating in substance that committees were
Obliged. under the new school law. to buy
these charts, and that they were cheap, etc
| wrote Mr.. Goodrich in relation to the re
port and saw him Immediately thereafter
He agreed to go at once to Rutland county
and see Mr.. George Spencer of CaseltOn, who
first exposed his agents through the Argus
and Patriot, and also agreed to take back
any chart sold through false representations
and return the money. | supposed this would
put an end to the deception. But within a
few days have heard of several more eases
from this and from Windsor county where
the same falsehoOds have been repeated.
have never written word that could posi-
bly, be construed as even intlmatmg that
committees could be forced or compelled under
the law to purchase these charts. l write
this that committees can act in the light of
all the facts. ! will add that | understand
that the company that owns the chart Is
honorable and deals fairly, but it is time
that its agents cease repeating this lie; that
they have any such writing from me, other
wise this company may have many charts to
take back if it proposes to carry out the
agreement of Mr. Goodrich.
EDWIN f. PALMER,
Waterbury, Dee. 10 1889.
In connection with the above we
are informed by Supervisor Redmond
of this county, that the same scheme
is Systematically worked by the sub
agents of the above named Mr. Good
rich in this county, with the addition
that Mr. Redmond is misrepresented
in the same way that Mr.. Palmer
complains of. Mr.. Redmond says
that he has given Mr. Goodrich a
recommend because he considers the
chart a good thing. Mr.. Goodrich
at the time he interviewed Mr. Red
mOnd, held strong recommendations
fElu Mr.. F------1O1trrr TIT rt5T Ir ',ys =
Supervisors of the State. The Super
visOrs have no authority to give, nor
do they pretend to give, instructions
to any agent to thus impose upon
school committees. Mr. Redmond
says furthermore that committees
who have thus been fraudulently i'm
posed upon, and can prove it, need
not pay for the chart, but can hold
it, subject to the order of the COM
pany, and so inform them. He be-
lieves that Ivison, Brakeman & Co.,
which publishes the chart,
is perfectly honorable and would I'M
hesitatingly condemn this action of
these sub-agents if it was brought to
their knowledge.
We publish the above at the re-
quest of Supervisor Redmond, who
desires to have the people of the
county understand what has been
done and what action he has taken
N the matter 1t is evident that he
S not the only one who has been
in this chart business. !

CARE OF BEES IN WINTER.-Bees
wintered out doors should have pro-
lection from the cold of winter, says
an Ohio authority; and as it is now
an uncommon thing to find them in
any other way, it is not necessary to
say anything on the method of pro-
lection. During winter, upon days
that they can fly, it is very necessary
to have prepared alighting places for
them about the entrance, as, on such
days as bees are able to take a fight,
it often occurs that the weather turns
cold and chilly, and bees coming in
fall at the entrance, and if they do
not travel directly into the hive by
means of a sIoping bank of some
prepared material, or Il board, they
are lost, being unable to take wing a
second time and gain an entrance;
hence the necessity of an aIighting
place This may be made by bank
ing up of earth to the entrance of the
hive. A covering of sawdust, sand
or gravel is very good to cover the
surface

AMERICA TO THE REsCUE.-Barbed-
wire fences, which have now become
so cheap as to be within reach of the
smallest farmer, seem destined to put
an end in England to the national
sport of fox-hunting. Lord Gresham.
master of the famous Bicester Hunt,
has announced that there will be no
more hunting during the present
Winter on account of the prevalence
of these wires in the district, and an
other M. f, H., Lord Willoughby de
Broke, has had his wife nearly Killed
and his first whip badly injured
through similar causes. Indeed it
has become clear that unless the Tory
Squires and Peers in Parliament pass
an act prohibiting the use of barbed-
wire for fences, foX-hunting will be
doomed. In that case America will
deserve the gratitude of poor perse-
cuted Reynard, and will be able to
place to her record another great vic
tory over English traditions and
preiudices-for the barbed-wire is a

A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER LIFE.-It
was just an ordinary scrap ofwrapping-paper,
but it saved her life. She was in the last sta
ges of consumption, told by physicians that
she was incurable and could live only short
time: she weighed less than seventy pounds.
On piece of wrapping paper she read of DR..
Kings New Discovery, and got a sample bot
tie; it helped her, she bought a large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another and grew
better fast, continued its use and is now
strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 40
pounds. For further particulars send stamp

Western millers exported from the

last year 2,197, $40 barrels of flour,
enough to load II, 900 railroad cars.
This is independent of grain ship
ments, and of such flour as the lines
of railroad and navigation carry to
points of home consumption, and
amounts to more than so per cent.
of the whole, which finds the cOnsum-

The present Congress is to be a
working one, as far as the Republican
majority are able to make it such.
An evidence of this is shown in the
fact that the Ways and Means Com
mittee will begin to give hearings to
interests likely to be affected by a
tariff bill on the Goth inst, the day
after Christmas, the time which pub
lie officials generally take to complete
the digestion of their Christmas tur-
key. The first day will be given to
metals, ores and coal. Sugar, chemi-
Gals, earthern and glass ware, wool,
manufacturers of wool, fax, hemp,
jute and cotton goods, silk, tobacco,
snuff, cigars and cigarettes, provis-
ions and farm products, sundries and
wooden ware, books and paper will
follow in their order. This is a radi- !
cal change from that followed by the |
Free Trade promoters of the Mills
bill, who refused to hear the repre-
sentatives of the great interests of
the country which were to be affected
by the proposed tariff changes.
