The Trial of ParnelIites.

The trial Of Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien
and others at 1ipperary, Ireland, las
Thursday was the occasion Of q conflict
between the policemen and crowds Of
Irishmen, including some well known
members OF Parliament. John Morley
the English statesman, and number OF
Nationalist came down from Dublin to
attend the trial They had not gone
far from the depot when they stopped at q
street corner. They were ordered by the
police to move on. John O'Connor, mem
Der OF Parliament, took vigorous excep-
ton to the order and called upon the crowd
10 give three cheers for John Morley. The
cheers were given with good will, rnuch TO
the evaporation OF the police, who there
upon charged upon the group and attempt
ed TO force it to move forward. In the
melee the policemen did not hesitate TO
use their batons.
The Nationaiists then continued their
way slowly toward the court house. As
this was the day fixed for the trial Of the
arrested Nationalists, the streets were full
OF people interested in the case. Nation
alists had thronged to the town from all
adjacent parts Of the country.
When the hour for the sitting of the
court arrived an immense crowd had col
ected before the court house ready to rush
in the moment the doors were thrown
open.
The crowd pressed forward, trying TO
force way into the court house. The
police stoutly resisted, charging the crowd
repeatedly. For fully five minutes there
was a standing fight between the now ex-
cited throng and the police. At last, how
ever, the crowd was gradually forced back
and the police succeeded in maintaining q
clear place in front of the court house.
During the conflict many persons were
wounded with blows from poiicemen's
bludgeons. Among them was Timothy
Harrington. He made his way into the
court room with his hair and coat collar
saturated with blood. His appearance
created great sensation and lent addi-
uonal emphasis to the complaint which
William O'Brien was at that moment
making to the court of the brutality OF the
police.
At first O'Brien refused TO enter the
,ouah hochA tiC PubiiS "e5 aoAliAtIa,
but at last, having decided he could accom-,
piish more by appearing in court he en-
tered the room and bitterly denounced the
clubbing of the crowd. Then John Morley
arose and appealed TO the court to protec
the populacc against the wsnton use OF
clubs by the police.
Meanwhile the National leaders contin-
ucd 70 protest against the exclusion Of the
general public, and the magistrate finally
ordered the doors opened. The room was

1T TAKES WORK.
Fort Worth Merchants Do Not Work Up and
Hold the Trade that Rightfully
Belongs to Them.

NEVADA, TEX. Nov. 10, 1890.
Editor Gazette:
What cause Ia there for the seeming
Indifference of the Fort Worth jobbers
and wholesale mer, hants when it comes
to working for the trade from the Iner-
chants in this section of Texas? Situated
as we are here on the Cotton Belt rail-
road, with direct railroad communioa-
ton to your city alone of all the whole
sale points in Texas, yet Our merchants
nearly al do their business in Dallas,
more from force of habit than from any
unkindly feeling toward Fort Worth.
We know, prices being equal, your city
would be much more CONVENIENT to us as
a marketing city than is Dallas, for in
going to the latter place We have to Use
two lines of railroad and pay double the
amount of freight that we would from
Fort Worth, and what is true OF Nevada
is also true of many towns along the
Cotton Belt road.
The question is asked, why do we put
up with these Inconvenience and trade
with Dallas? The answer is simple
Fort Worth merchants do not work to
get and to hold the trade that rightfully
belongs TO her. Occasionally q drummer
from the Fort calls on US, but because it
takes time to get us weaned away from
your rival city as trading point, they
become discouraged just before the VIC
tory is won. What is the benefit to Fort
Worth merchants of more railroads if
they do not protect their trade along the
lines already built to her portals? Are
they satisfied with the trade they now
have and care for no more, that they
allow rival to work at a disadvantage
aud yet hold the trade?
There is scarcely a town on the Cotton
Bel. road from Fort Worth to Texark-
ana but that would be benefited il they
did their trading at Fort Worth. These
towns properly belong to Fort Worth and
should be worked to Fort Worth's ad-
vantage. We are willing to be per-
suaded that Fort Worth Is our friend
and natural trading point.
Fort Worth has other territory than
the Panhandle that Ia hers by conveu-
fence, and she should claim and hold it.
Indifferent business men make indif-
ferent cities. Wake up to your interests
and all pull together in the many issues
of public benefit that you now have be-
fore you. Work at the right time land
that it now will make Fort Worth a
great city. c.

armed vessel on Lakes Ontario aud
Champlaiu, and two on the upper lakes.
Since then the Great West has become an
empire of production and population,
with its great cities, centers of wealth i,
commerce and transportation, built on
the straight shores Of the broad lakes
and defeuseless against naval attack. The
Wellaud canal and the six canals along
the St. Lawrence between Lake Ontario
and Montreal have been constructed and
are wholly in foreign territory. The
smallest OF the ST. Lawrence canals have
nine feet depth of water and locks 200
feet long and forty-fve feet wide, suffi-
cient for the passage OF over fifty of the
armed vessels of the British navy.
Measures have already been commenced
to enlarge the smaller canals so that none
will have less than fourteen feet depth of
water, which would admit the passage
of as many more OF Il heavier arma-
ment. One of these canals, the Beauhar-
nois, eleven and one-quarteI miles long,
is wholly on the right (south) bank of
the st. Lawrence. Another is within
rifle shot of islands belonging to US. The
board of Notifications and other defenses
under the act of March 3, 1855, COM
posed of army and navy officers and of
civilians, OF which my predecessor was
president, made full and very able re-
port in regard TO this situation, and
recommended considerable works of de-
Tense for the lake ports.
In the absence of any preparation on
our part the lake cities might, in the
event of war with the power holding the
highway of the St. Lawrence, be in Il
more defenseless condition even than the
seaboard cities. Although We can not,
under the agreement, build armed YES
sells on the lakes to overmetch on those
waters the force that might be brought
against us, | do not think it necessary to
undertake any elaborate system of de-
lenses as proposed. With land forces
properly disposed, we could doubtless
ward off any danger from this source,
and hence | fully approve the suggestion
of Gen. Schoiield, who, on this subject,
says:
The military policy OF the United States in
that direction will not 1t is believed, in any
conceiv able event, require sucn defense on that
frontier. 1t is proposed to maintain at appro-
pirate points. which have been carefully Sc
lected, suitable garrisons OF regular troops of
all arms nuclei for the concentrate on of such
forces, regular and volunteer as any emergency
may require IN that direction. The wisdom of
providing, without unnecessary delay, for the
adj ttional accommodations required for these
permanent earrisons, will, 1t is believed, be
manifest to SILL
Proper preparations are not measures
of provocation, but rather of preven-
ton and for the continued preservation
of peace.
