NOT GUILTY.
Was the Verdict of the Jury Tn the Trial of Button Perrick for the Murder
 of Geo. Eggleston 2S Years Ago.

Russellyille, Nov. 20.-(SpeciaI) )-"We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty" and thus ended the trial of Button Per
 rick for the murder of Geo. Eggleston,
 twenty-eight years ago. And so drops from the public gaze an affair that began in a. trivial quarrel about a jumping COW and ended in tragedy that put one man in his grave and sent another into exile and hiding for the better part of his life And after over a quarter of a century of such life and such fears as only man in like circumstances can appreciate in his old age when the memory Of the Tact had grown dim the iron hand of the law finds him out and he is brought to par | to stand trial for this deed of long ago. And tonight for the first time in twenty eight years this man can sleep without the haunting fear of a pursuing oificef or the dreadful shadow of a possioie conviction. Truly, terrible penalty-al- though now free, he has alreaoy pau The spacious court house was crowded, and when the evidence was concluded and the attorneys began their argument standing room was at premiunl' good many ladies being in the audlence. Hon. H. c. Jones opened for the state followed by E. E. Almond, of Tuscum- bia. and Hon. W. I. Bullock, of this place, for the defense, MT. Carmichael. the so- licitor closing for the state. IL goes
 without saying that all the speeches on
 either side were first-ciass in every re-
 spect. Everything possible was brought to bear to sway the jury for convlctloh or acquittaI by the champions of the op, posing sides, and when, after clear ana impartial charge from Judge Roulhac, the case was finally given to the jury late Thursday evening, excitement ran a,lsa niga as to the possible outcome, and contlhu@eu @ so until late Friday evening, Wneh tlle U jury brought in the verdict apove.

Off with an axe. To round and polish 1t
of, we would humbly suggest the addi-
ton of this stanza:
They say that old England's a buffer
She reaches and grabs all in sight;
But by the same token we love her
Whatever she does is all right!
To him that hath much. shall be given,
Does not the holy writ say?
And he that hath naught shall be driven
To give cen himself dead away.
Nor would it have been at all amiss
for Laureate Austin so to enlarge the
scope of "Jameson's Ride" as to bring
in a comprehensive background. The
perspective, we think, would be vastly
improved by this addition:
All! America jumped on US madly.
And twisted and twisted the tail,
Until she hurt IL so badly
Ger this Jet us draw a thick veil.
What though they've been trying to work
us,
And the lion is silent and sore;
Things will soon quiet down in the circus
And again he will rear up and roar!
Lastly, as a finale, a brief glimpse OF
the situation in Europe consequent up
on Jameson's famous ride would be pc
culiarly tactful and appropriate, some
thing say on this order:
And Germany now is far wiser:
For the queen leaped up from her
throne,
And seized by the ear the young kaiser,
And led him upstairs all alone.
All! grandmother took off her slipper
His nonsense he swiftly recants;
The kaiser is not quite so clipper
Since she spanked the broad seat of his
pants.
We feel sure Mr.. Austin will take
these suggestions in the spirit in which
they are offered. He is young in the
laureate business yet, he is doing the
best he can and the public should be
more sparing of its condemned eggs.
With our counsel and advice to steer
him we think the new laureate would
make by long odds the dizziest poet of
the Victorian period, and possibly he
is going to do it on his own unaided
merits

Allis0n's Mentor.

During a dozen years, Clarkson.
Iowa's republican bell boy, has always
been very sure that Allison was to be
the choice for president in the next re-
publican national convention. Year
after year, Senator Allison has had his
name paraded for the nomination, only
20 ind himself so weak that, with one
exception. his hackers have not deemed
Il wise to make formal presentation of
his name. Once they tried 1t on. In the
convention that nominated Harrison.
in 1883, with 416 votes necessary to a
choice, Allison scored about eighty.
This year Clarkson. who always does
more than Iowa's share of talking. Is
very sure that his favorite is bound to
be nominated. Those who keep In mind
what has happened in recent years will
conclude that Clarkson is one of the
poor political prophets and that his
guesses are likely TO be no good. SEN
ator Allison may be as estimable a man
as the rest of them who are In the
field. His advantage is that, during
many years in public life he never was
known to have fixed convictions or in
dependent opinions on any question of
national policy. He is a political nom
descript, and men who answer that de-
scrfption are sometimes looked upon as
valuable In a political way. He is a
weaker man than Gresham was; the
country had experience enough with
Gresham In the cabinet TO know what
that means.
Clarkson is a man whose notion OF
the strength of his own political pull
is not shared by the men who run this
country's republican politics. They per-
NIT him to campaign, and predict and
press this or that candidate. but when
1t comes TO the real business of franz
ing tickets. they conveniently forget
all about him. 1t is a pretty sure pre-
diction that. defeated this year. Sena-
tor Allison, II he lives, will be Clark
sons sure winner in 1900.

After Twenty-Five Years.

More than a hundred and sixty years
ago, a young Prussian prince who af-
forwards became known as Frederick
the Great found the tyranny of his
father. the king, unbearable. The king
had conceived for his son an intense
dislike which often found expression in
outbursts OF anger. At the age of
eighteen Frederick resolved to fiy from
Berlin. Two friends assisted him. He
was captured and put in prison. One OF
the men who assisted him met speedy
death and. for time. the king serious
ly considered the idea OF infiicting the
death penalty on his son-the influence
Of emperors and kings was required to
dissuade him.
Within a few days Germany has wit
messed a spectacle which, while not a
parallel, serves to recall Frederick the
Greats experience; II is an added Illus
peror of to-day is on the throne a full
century too late. 1t appears that, a
good while ago. as the result of an in
cident at a court function. an unpleas-
antness arose between the empress and
her sister. This sister is the wife OF the
the Prussian prince. Frederick Leopold.
Recently this princess. who has sought
by every means TO avoid the presence
OF the empress. fell through the ice
while skating. She was rescued and the
empress hearing OF the accident called
on her sister but was not received.
Thereupon the empress sent for her
husband and a stormy scene ensued
with the result that the emperor forth
with ordered his brother-in-law. a man
Of his own years. arrested and confined
in the fortress of the castle at Pots
dam. The term Of Imprisonment was
two weeks. Guards with loaded rifles
were stationed at every entrance TO the
castle. and all lights were ordered ex-
tinguished at s o'clock. II is talked in
Berlin that Prince Frederick Leopold
will resign his place In the army and
live in retirement. The arrogance OF
the emperor's conduct would excite
wonder were II not that the world is
getting accustomed TO his ridiculous
pretentions.
The celebrations Of the twenty-hfth
anniversary Of the founding Of the Ger
man empire are at their he!ght- The

memorable events which had their Gull
mination in the browning of old EN-
peror william In the palace at YER
sailles, a few miles out of Paris. are re-
called by the present emperor's sub
jects. The utmost is done in the way OF
spectacular effect; the emperor made
dramatic appeals in his addresses yes
terday, invoking unity and loyalty.
That the Germans will be loyal to their
country, goes without saying. Yet back
of the pomp and parade Of the celebra-
ton are the ominous signs Of social and
political discomfort.
The democratic element in Germany
is undoubtedly four-fold stronger to-
day than the men who founded the en-
pire a quarter OF a century ago dream
ed II would be. 1t must be that the
reigning emperor is conscious OF the
rising tide of a sentiment to which his
pretentions are utterly abhorrent. For
the suppression OF this growing senti-
ment he resorts to the same violent re-
sources las far as he can do it, as were
employed in the case of Prince Freder-
lex Leopold. The masses have little
care for what relates to the punishment
of members of the royal household, but
we believe that the emperor will live
to learn that he errs in his attempt to
stifie public opinion or to awe the peo-
pie by the pompous assertion of his
own alleged divine right to rule as
kings used to rule in the times when
their subjects had only a dim concep-
ton of civil and political rights.
The emperor Of Germany is moving
in the direction of greater dangers than
those which beset the sovereign of any
other great power in Europe. And his
headlong. headstrong conduct acceler-
ates the pace that moves Germany to-
ward a political crisis.
