IRELAND'S ASSIzES.
Light Work for the Judges-N0 Serious
Crime Reported Anywhere In
the Country.

The Clare Commission of Assizes
was opened at Ennis on Friday last
before Mr.. Justice O'Brien. The
Kilrush bribery charges formed the
only important business, and Michael
Cullinan and Michael Griffin, who
were found guilty, were sentenced to
one months imprisonment, and were
ordered to be dismissed from the
Office of Poor Law Guardian and dis
qualified from holding any public
Office for seven years.
The Summer Assizes were opened
for Meath before the Lord Chief
Baron. He congratulated the grand
jury on the peace and order of the
county. In the Duleek burning case
the prisoners were acquitted.
Sir Peter O'Brien, Lord Chief
Justice, opened the assizes at Nenagh,
Tipperary. In his address to the
grand jury his lordship said that he
had much pleasure in congratulating
them on the satisfactory condition Of
the North Riding of Tipperary.
Mr.. Justice Madden, addressing
the grand jury of Westmeath, said
their duties would be very light, as
there was only one case of serious
nature to 60 before them.
On Saturday Mr.. Justice Kenny
opened the County Longford Assizes,
and congratulated the grand jury on
the continued immunity of the county
from serious crime.
The criminal calendar for the
Waterford Summer Assizes is an ex-
ceptionally light one, and the bust
ness of the legal lights will not con-
sumo more than a few hours. The
city presents clean sheet, not sim
gle case being listed for hearing. In
the County Court only one case Of
assault, arising out of drunken row,
will occupy the attention of the court.
The appeal cases are few, and will not
take long to dispose of. The city and
county have both been NOTED for the
absence Of serious crime, and the fact
has been commented on by the vari-
Gus judges.

ately the soldiers gave themselves up
to drunkenness, violence and rapine
of every description. For long time
the streets of Ballinahinch rang with
the groans of men and the agonized
screams of women. Then silence fell.

come by their rotations and excuses,
and the majority of them lay dead
drunk in the gutter.
This news having been brought to
the insurgent camp, council Of war
was held. 1t was the general opinion
that midnight descent upon Ballina-
hinch would be irresistible, and that
the enemy was absolutely at their
mercy. Unfortunately Munro's deli
cate sense of honor would not permit
him to take advantage of the royalists'
helpless condition. No plea or argu-
ment could induce him to give orders
to advance. His officers sullenly left
his tent, inwardly cursing his chivalry,
and one division of his army, amount
ing to close on 1000 men, were so
disguised that they quilted the camp
and dispersed. Munro's foolish mag
nanimity seems all the more remark
able when contrasted with the conduct
of the royalists under similar circum.
stances. Not only did the latter never
hesitate to attack the insurgents when

MICHAEL DWYER.
A Monument to Be Raised Over the
Irish Patriots Grave at Sydney,
Australia.

A cablegram from Sydney says;
"The celebration today of the cen
tenary Of the Irish rising of 1898 was
very largely attended. The remains
of the well-known insurgent chief,
Michael Dwyer, and his wife, were
exhumed at the old Devonshire-street
cemetery and reinterred at the Waiver
ley cemetery, where the foundation
stone of a national monument was
laid. The body of the wife was in a
remarkable state of preservation, due
largely to her great age (os) when she
died. The features and hair were
perfectly recognizable. Mr.. Dwyer
was buried 70 years, and his wife 3S
ago. Speeches were delivered in
eulogy of the heroism and patriotism
Of the leaders of the rising.
"Over the vault containing the re-
mains of Michael Dwyer and his wife
an imposing monument will be raised.
We learn from the Sydney Freeman
that fine site has been secured in
the new Catholic portion of the
Waverley cemetery. Standing, as it
will, over 80 feet high, the monument
should be a conspicuous and COM
handing object in the cemetery.
Roughly estimated, the monument
will cost $40, 900. The tall Celtic
cross and the principal inscription
panel are to be pure Carrara marble.
The rest is to be of polished trachyte.
The monument is to cover 80 feet by
"a feet. The fiat portion Immediately
over the vault is to be in mosaic, and
will serve as place for those to kneel
who visit the tomb in a spirit of patri-
otism and reverence. 1t is estimated
that the monument will take twelve
months to complete.

as their legs and horses could carry
them, the rebels were running south
in the direction of Downpatrick. The
former were the first to recover from
their panic, and were astonished on
hating to perceive their dreaded
enemies hurrying away from Ballina-
hinch. This unexpected spectacle
renewed their courage. The Twenty
second Light Dragons and the yeo-
men received orders to pursue the
fleeing foe and instantly put spurs to
their steeds. Soon they were riding
among the unfortunate insurgents,
whom they cut down mercilessly with
their long sabers. No quarter was
given and above 500 persisted.
Munro fell back upon Ednavady
Hill, where, with a band of faithful
followers, he held out for some time,
but he was soon captured. The usual
farce of a trial was held, and he was
found guilty of high teason. He was
hanged in front of his own house in
his native town of Ballinahinch; then
his bead was cut off, empaled on a
pike and placed as a warning sign
above the market place. With poor
Munro's death the rebellion ended
in the North.

unarmed and carousing, but it was a
favorite device of theirs to send bar
rels of whisky into the insurgents
camp, so that the resultant drunken
ness might render them an easy prey.
At sunrise on June IS the insurgents
fell into ranks, and Gen. Munro
passed along the line, urging them to
strenuous action. AS the flag of green
was proudly unfurled a deafening
cheer arose, which reverberated along
the hillsides and startled the royalists
in Ballinahinch. Munro divided his
men into two bodies, one of which he
led in person against the eastern side
of Ballinahinch, while the other, under
Capts. McConce and Townsend,
assaulted it upon the opposite side.
Munro was astute enough to place
very little reliance on the few anti
quated pieces of artillery he possessed,
or, indeed, upon the musket which
about fourth of his men carried.
He saw that the pike would win or
lose the day, Accordingly he drew
up his pikemen and ordered them to
charge the guns behind which the roy
alists were drawn up in solid square.
According to the usages of warfare
such exploits as the capture of artil-
lery are generally reserved for cavalry.
There is no feat that requires such
dashing courage and resolution as for
infantry to take possession of the
enemy's guns at the bayonet's point.
With a laundering "Faugh-a-Bal-
laghp they broke into run; and
though hundreds were moved down
by showers of canister and grape
shot they never ceased till they

reached the lannon's mouth and
piked the artinerymen. In the mean
time McConce and Townsend had
advanced on the opposite side with
equal success, driving the royalists
before them like a flock of sheep.
The result was complete rout. The
redcoats flung down their arms and
fed heller SHELTER out of the town in
the Belfast direction, leaving the in
surgents in complete possession Of
Ballinahinch.
Here again occurred one of those
trivial mischances which followed the
fortunes of the 'oS men with strange
persistence, and helped in no small
measure to win the cause. When the
British commander, Gen. Nugent,
lost all hope of rallying his men he
gave his trumpeters orders to sound a
retreat, whereupon the shrill blast OF
bugles rang over the bloody battle
field. Halfblinded by the smoke
that filled the narrow streets, the in
surgents, who were mostly simple
peasants, thought the enemy had just
received strong reinforcements and
that the bugle blasts they heard were
the signal for charge. A panic
seized them suddenly and they turned
about and fed. While, therefore, the
military were running north as fast

War or Peace.

There seem to be some Congress-
men and Senators and a few private
individuals who are afraid that the
United States will settle the Span
ish difficulty honorably and without
war. They seem to be afraid of
having their patriotism called into
questson, unless they talk a great
deal of blood and thunder. They
forget that the true patriot is the
man who tries to keep his country
out of war with its dreadful results.
War should be the very last re-
course of a peaceful, Christian ma
ton.
These war congressman are will
ing to make political capital by de-
claring war and by calling the COM

And his menace be void and vain;
For you are lords of strong young land and
