DILLON AND O'BRIEN.

Different opinions have been e&DFesseu
concerning the flight of Dillon ana
O'Brien from Ireland while under trial for
violating the law known as the crimes
act. Generally speaking however, their
conduct has been approved by the press
of this country. Ordinarily the taxing
of French leave under such circumstances
would be regarded as tantamount to
confession of guilt and a wholesome FEAR
of the penal consequence. Outside OF
the Tory ranks, but few take that view
of Dillon and 'Brien's case.
In the first place, the crimes act,
which they are charged with violating,
"a an anomaly in legislation, that makes
criminal what was never before dreamed
of as such. 1t is, as oil the world
knows, the meanest and most odious OF
gag laws, that stiles freedom of speech
and of the press. 1t is law for winch
the people Of Ireland, high and low,
have no sort of respect whatever, know
ing we'll that it was framed in obedience
and rackrenting agents of the island.
Not only the people of Ireland, but the
masses of the English people, and a large
number of England s foremost thinkers
and men of high standing, admit ana
deplore the inlquitous character or the
cruel and heartless law, and have no
word of condemnation for those who
evade or even disregard it. How would
the people of Texas regard Federal
enactment that forbade the discussion
on the stump or otherwise, by their
representatives, of certain topics that
were of vital concern to their welfare
and happiness? Would they cringe and
obev slayishly? Would Congressman
Mills and Sayers and the rest of them
maddox their mouths and tamely sub
| nit to the law, simply because
| IT was the law? To ask such q
question seriously is to insult
their manhood. Yet that is precisely
what the English parliament demands OF
the Irish members.
Again, the court before which Dillon
and O'Brien were summoned is nothing
more nor less than Tory tribunal, tina
had already convicted the accused before
trial. The incumbents are govern ment
anno1ntees whose tenure of office depend
nm their utter subserviency to the castle
and the crown. In political trials such
oourts can no more be depended on Il
administer justice fairly between the
crown and the accused than professions
horse trader to point out the blemishe;
in his critter. Besides, the presiding
magistrate was q personal enemy of thu
acused, and was well known to harbo
i'll feelings against them. If he hat
been an honest judge, or anything but
corrupt and contemplate tool of thu
castle. he would have declined to sit il
the case, or have granted the prayer
the accused to be tried by another. Il
such q court, the trial would be thu
nakedest of farces. Knowing tina
Dillon and o 'Brien decided ,lunder advic
of Parnell and others, TO forfeit thei
bonds and decamp to America, wher
thew could do far more for the good G
heir cause, than by languishing i

A Boston teacher IN speaking Of
modern methods in the schools justly
says: "Any method that makes the ed
ucation it endeavors TO give an end
rather than q means is faulty IN pripci-
ple." The tenor of the entire article
shows that after all extreme modern
methods do not realize all that has been
expected, and that even in Boston the
wass and means by which the fathers
were taught will be visited upon their
children.

The Fort Worth Packery.

The farmers of Texas have new and

the Fort Worth pork packery. NO more
corn need to be sold for fifteen and
twenty cents as is often the case. Insre

as little subject to disease, or where pork
can be produced at less cost. Now that

HASTINGS, Minn., Feb. 18.-The most
sensational event which has occurred
In Hastings for many months took place
shortly after O'clock this evening. At
that time Miss Mary DietZen and Miss
Emma Link were walking up Second
street engaged in animated conversa-
tion. Suddenly they were halted by
Louis SOmmers, who, after speak
ing few words to Miss Dietzen.
drew a revolver and shot the girl dead,
disappearing Immediately afterward
into the darkness. Miss Dietzen was
one of the best and most favorably
known young ladies of the community.
1t is said she had kept company with
young Sommers for some time, but
finally refused to marry him. At
least this is the cause assigned
for the cold-blooded murder.
Ohcers are in hot pursuit of
Sommers, but up to midnight had not
Overtaken him. The remains of Miss
Dietzen were removed to Mertz & Sons
undertaking rooms, where they were
viewed by several hundred excited peo-
pie. Had Sommers been caught during
the evening some convenient telegraph
pole would have supported his lifeless
body before morning. Coroner Cadzow,
of Rosemount. has been notified, and an
inquest will be held tomorrow.
