DOSE FOR DUNLOP.
b.~4ATCH EDITOR GOES TO PRIS-
ON FOR TWO YEARS.
His Crime One That Has Long
Shocked and Slammed Chi
cago People.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Joseph R. Dunlop,
eultor ana proprietor of the Chicago
Dispatch, was sentenced to two wears
III the penitentiary and a fine of 81
600 for circulating through the mails
indecent matter contained in the
daily issues of his newspaper.
Mr. Dunlop was formerly well
known in Wisconsin, through his DO
litical work for the Chicago Times in
the days OF Story. Afterward he ac-
CURED an interest in the Times, then
married Story's widow and after los
ing control of the paper founded the
Dispatch. The paper was largely SEN
sational in its character and the nature
or its advertising matter has been
long Objectionable to large class Of
people. The sentence Just passed was
for printing obscene matter in his pa
per, advertisements of houses of ill
repute-and sending it through the
mails. Chicago people have long been
shocked at Dunlop's scandalous pub
lications.
Lord Chatham once said a mans
house was his castle; the storm could
enter; the rain could enter but the
king of England could never enter.
Every family can create its own stand
ard of morality. Its doors can be shut
against offensive servants and visitors,
but the United States mail service pen
etrates to every house, and ii is no
slight obligation to see that it is kept
clean" SO said Judge Grosscup in the
United States district court in sentenc-
ing Dunlop. When asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, Dunlop arose
with difficulty, and said in a trembling
voice that he would be glad TO be
treated leniently" The sentence was
a surprise to him and his attorney
The conviction is the first of the kind
in Chicago. A stay of twenty days
was granted to permit the pre- paration

The views of leading members Of
the league interested in racing have
been sought on the subject of aban-
doning racing. Here is Mr.. Potter's
argument: "Nine-tenths Of the league
members care practically nothing for
the racing. No one joins on account
OF the racing. 1t is for the advantages
in the way of special hotel rates, the
good roads movements, free maps,
guidebooks, etc, that the league ex-
lists and it Is only because of these
that 1t is able to exist. AS 1t is now,
the league Is made TO center about
feature which is of consequence to but
1.-THE of its members, and, as a
matter of fact, this keeps many from
joining. The League of American
Wheelmen is not sporting organiza-
tion-at least, it never was designed
to be such, and should not be made
one"
Henry e. Quicker, chairman of the
New York division racing board and
the manager of the big race meets at
Springfield Mass, ten years ago, says
"Jhe argument advanced that racing
takes too much OF tne time and ener-
gies Of the league, falls fiat, if we take
the past history Of the l.. a. w. Had
the same amount OF energy been put
into the other committees that has
been put into the work by the racing
men, we would be able TO ride from
Portland, Me, to San Francisco on the
finest roads in the world. Take our
good roads work, and nearly all of the
prominent work has been done by two
enthusiasts, Coltrel Pope and Chief
Consul Potter The former has put
money and brains into the work and
has undoubtedly accomplished more
than the entire league, while Mr.. Pot
ter has worked hard to assist the work
along. These two men have had to go

not be laid to the door of the racing
interests that these men have not had

RETIRING GRACEFULLY.

When Justin Mccarthy announced his
determination to retire from the chair
manship of the parliamentary party
among other things he said: go.
s'Nor have the passing discussions in
the party had anything to do with my de-
cision. These discussions are for the
most part personal rather than political,
and they would not affect the vote OF a
single Irish Nationalist member In the
division lobby of the house of commons
when any Irish interest was concerned.
Furthermore, see many hopeful indica-
tions that all the Irish Nationalist men,
bers may be brought again into close
working union for the purpose of fight
ing the Irish battle in parliament"
Mr.. Mccarthy in these words shows
that he feels no resentment towards any
one for any opposition that has been
manifested against him, and furthermore
that he is not resigning the leadership
because of factional fights, but purely
upon personal grounds-to make living
for himself by his profession OF letters.

JOHN DILLON.


1t may turn out that John Dillon will
make as effective parliamentary leader
as would Mr.. Sexton, had the latter ac-
cepted the position. The vote for him
was 81 to 81. The melancholy Dane" is
not as brilliant a man as Sexton, but
brilliancy does not always count. Par
mel, himself could not be called brilliant,
but he had in him the stuff from which
leaders are made.
Upon billions character there is no
stain. He is patriotism itself and the
son of a patriot. John Blake Dillon, who
was an intimate friend of John Mitchell.
The elder Dillon was one Of the leading
men Of Ireland in his day and in some
Of it's most troublesome periods he
showed how faithful he was to the peo-
pie.
The present John Dillon is a graduate
of the Catholic university, of Ireland.
His first thought after graduation was
to become a physician. but after being
admitted to practice lie did not follow
the occupation long enough to make a
name for himself in the profession.

JUDGE MAHoNEY's APPOINTMENT,

{ A decision was reached OIL Thursday
county in the matter Of the application
for the removal Of frank r. Hubachek
as assignee OF the irish American bank.
BY the terms of the decision Hutachek
is removed and Judge Stephen Mahoney
/ is appointed in his place. The decision
is based entirely on the points OF Law
and the circumstances which so closely
connected Mr. Hubachek in a social and
business way with many Of the officers
and directors Of the bank, but is no re-
lection on that genteman's integrity Or
personal fitness for the position, as the
following words Of the court in the de-
cision rendered show:
eve rgeret exceedingly the necessity
for removing this assignee. Personally
he is in every respect exceptionally we'll
qualified to administer this trust. But.
as we understand the law, we have no
discretion. It's behest is imperative and
may not be disobeyed,"
The Irish Standard is grained 10 note
the fact that Judge Mahoney has been
appointed. He is a man Of splendid
ability in this direction, thoroughly
honest, upright aud capable. The same
may be said Of Mr.. Hubachek. No Oh
jections were raised against him person
ally but, like poor dog Tray, the court
seemed to think that he was in bad COM
pany and he was Obliged to suffer the
consequences.
Messrs. Donahue and Myers made a
gallant fight for their clients in this ac-
ton for Mr.. Hubachek's removal, and
are certainly entitled to great deal of
credit for the manner in which all the
material points were brought out and
presented at the bar. %t .

DEMAGOdlsn.

AT meeting of the Union Republican
Club, Of Washington, held recently, a
letter was read from Senator Cullom, OF
illinois, in which he said that by allow
ing the reins of government to pass into
the hands of the Democratic party, the
country, by depreciation in values, had
suffered a loss equal to the money cost
of the war of the rebellion.
By such an assertion Senator Cullom
only confirms what the people have long
since proclaimed him to be-a demo-
goaue of the most unblushing stripe. By
depreciation in values the senator means,
of course; that the consumer can buy his
goods at q much lower price than if the
senator had his way. He would like to
see every man. woman and child in this
country taxed to the fullest extent for al
the necessaries Of life in order that his

Cullom when the latter are running for
office, and as one good turn deserves an
other, men like Cullom will remember
their friends when they reach the senate
or the house Of representatives For
these manufacturing friends never cease
to ask for favors. And, of course, when
they pocket all the favors derived from
being highly protected the rest OF the
nation should be satisfied that we can
produce such enterprising gentlemen
who look out for themselves.

MORRISON FOR PRESIDENT.

,Stilson Hutchins, the man who estab-
lished the ST. Louis Times and subse-
quently the Washington Post. offers some
very good reasons why William r. Morri-
son, of Illinois, should be the Democratic
presidential nominee this year. At the
outset he admits that it is the man and
not the successful party that is in doubt
He thinks the Democrats should nominate
plain, practical, everyday man, one
with record sufficiently prominent to
lift him out Of the commonplace and pro
tect him from calumny. Such man is
Morrison.
Mr.. Morrison has an excellent war rec
ord, and while he is a politician in the
better sense of the term he is also man
of the people. He is an able lawyer, has
had experience in public affairs. knows
the needs of the country and would not be
at the mercy Of whatever clique of schem-
err: might arise against him IN Washing
ton--for at the nations capital there is
always a cabal, sometimes plotting
against it's party friends and sometimes
against its enemies.
But all this is in connection with the
possibilities or probabilities Of Demo
crat being elected this year. And con-
cedng the chances against the party it is
far from being absolutely certain that the
Republicans will win. They appear to
have the reins in ther hands just now but
such appeared to be the fact on former
occasion and yet they lost. Nor Is there
any intention in saying this to hold out
TOO strong hope that the Democrats will
win, but they should not throw away their
chances in advance. Considering the dis
sension in the Republican ranks, if the
Democrats will only stand together upon
a strong platform-a platform that will
mean just what it says-the Republicans
may be caught mapping while they are
waiting for their faction. fights to cease.
In any event the Democrats will make
such a vigorous campaign that the Repub-
leans, even should they win. will be found
in such a frightened condition that they
will scarcely be able to realize their good
fortune until the smoke of battle has
cleared away.

A TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT

Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daughter Of
Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, in Wash
ington, who last spring shot and killed a
colored boy for stealing fruit from her
fathers orchard, has this week Pleaded
guilty of Involuntary granddaughter and
was sentenced to an imprisonment of
three hours in Jail and to pay a fine Of
$500. Her father paid the fine and the
girl prepared to begin the ordeal of her
terrible punishment by getting into her
fathers carriage, accompanied by himself
and an aunt, and were driven to the
Jail where the matron received them
with humility mixed with cordially and
babe them make themselves at home in
the reception room. This they did until
the three hours expired, when the girl
was driven home. On arriving at the
jail she was not thrust into dark and
dirty cell, mark you, to sob her tender
heart away while peering through the
bars at those who might visit her.
If the colored boy had shot the aris-
tocratic white girl. under similar cir
cumstances the plea of involuntary man
slaughter would have been looked upon
with derision, and he would, no doubt,
be now wearing stripes in the peni-
Tertiary under sentence Of an indefinite
number of years. And yet the maxim
still holds good that the law is no re-
specter of persons. AS the law reads
it is true, it is not respecter of persons
but as it is sometimes administered it
causes many to doubt the truthfulhess
of the maxim.

HE'S A HERO.

John Bull is proving himself a greater
hum bug every hour. DR.. Jameson was in
London police court the other day along
with IA others and they were charged
with "warring against a friendly state. y
In order to avoid an ovation which he and
his companions knew was in store for
them they disguised themselves on the
way to court but that was of no avail
The people shouted all the same. When
in court their lawyers asked that their
personal recognizances be accepted in
stead of bail. The learned Judge, how
ever, said before he would entertain the
idea of bail he wished to observe that in
his opinion a graver offense could not be
charged than the one charged against
these men. but he felt satisfied the pris-
oners would appear when wanted, and
consequently he accepted their personal
recognizamces, fixing their bail at $4,000
each. Then the judge gravely addressed
the prisoners, begging them for their own
sakes and for the sake of the country to
refrain from appearing where public ex-
element would be aroused by their pres
ence. Notwithstanding the gravity of
this charge the prisoners were cheered to
the echo. Then the bailiffs managed to
get matters quieted down, when the judge
said sternly: "That sort Of thing might
bring the name OF England into con-
tempt" When the prisoners reached the
outside the crowds grew wilder than ever
and Jameson was treated like conquer
ing hero, Think of the populace making a
god of Jameson and a judge charging him
with the gravest of offenses. Think of al
lawtng men charged with the gravest of
offenses being allowed to go upon their
own recognizances, feeling that they
would return when wanted. OF course,
they will, as they know nothing Will ever
come of the charges against them. In
stead OF being sent TO prison Jameson will
be knighted, perhaps, and have additional
honors heaped upon him.
But en- the other hand think of an
Irishman standing before an English
Judge charged with the gravest OF OF
lenses. Think Of him asking To- appear

ROBERT. EMMETT,

/ On next Monday the memory of every
man or woman of Irish blood throughout
the world will recall the saddest event.
perhaps, in the whole history of Ireland
the execution of Robert Emmett The
date, March 4, is not, however, the date Of
his death but that of his birth But it is
his !gnominious death-ignominiou to
Eugland-that brings to mind his splen-
did manhood, unselfish but mpetuous pa
triotism, ard the daring and defiant man.
ner in which he went down to hero's
grave. That he accomplished little of
practical good during his short career is
| only too true, 1t was not his fault. The
times were sadly out Of joint and he with
out support. Besides he met an enemy at
every turn and, saddest Of all, some of
these were his own countrymen. But
Greece and Rome and all the heroic ma
tions of the earth have shared in the same
unhappy fate. His love of country was
greater than his Judgment, but that was
the fault of his youth. His trusting faith
ceit Ripehed experience would have
taught him prudence, but youth cannot
cautiously reason nor walk step by step
with silvery locks. His heart he wore
upon his sleeve. He would do and dare
even though he fell at the outset. Should
not such qualities as these receive our ad-
miration? We may regret the impetuos-
ity that brings dire results but we are i'm
PEELED to love the heart that knows not
fear.
The story of Emmett has been told so
often in song and history that it is not
necessary to sketch It here. Every boy
! and girl has turned with delight to the
pages that have recorded his life and ma
turer years have added interest to the
study. 1t is always full of interest to the
lovers of their native land or the land
from which they sprang. He was the
friend and college mate of Moore, the
poet, and the latter has kept his memory
green in verse that burns with patriotic
ardor and gentle pathos. ~ @Ni
If he accomplished nothing OF tangible
nature during his short life-he died at
26-his memory surely has made burn
brighter the fires of patriotism in those
who live.
AS all the world loves hover it is a
pretty picture in life SO sad to know
that Emmett had won heart as true, as
tender and as loving as his own. She
was the daughter OF Curran. Some time
after her idols execution she left her ma
tive shores and the poet-the friend Of his
school days-touches our hearts with the
gentle story: meet -'
She is far from the land where her young
hero sleeps ~.
And lovers around her are signing,
But coldly she turns from their gaze
while she weeps
For her heart in his grave is lying.
