The Northwestern Chronicle, which
used to be formerly known as Archbisll-
OPP Irelands official organ, seems to have
very pronounced anti-Spanish views. In
an article on Spain in last weeks Issue
the Chronicle says: AN axiom has
grown into the language of all nations.
1t is that knowledge is Power Spain
has GO per cent OF her population abso-
lutely illiterate Only one other coun-
try of Europe rivals her in that bad emf
nence. and that is Italy"
That kind of writing will be relished
by such men as DIR. Josiah Strong, of
the Evangelical Alliance. who gives the
percentage of illiteracy in Spain is so,
and in Italy as Is. We have no sta
tistics Of recent date at hand about Spain

or Italy. but in his "Notes of Tray
eler," Samuel Laing. the Scotch Calvin
list minister, says that the education ef
the common people of Italy is as general
ly diffused as in Scotland, aud that Rome,
in his time. had 372 primary schools,
with $4,000 children in attendance.
while Berlin, with double it's population,
had only 264 schools. But that was I'M

Our old friend. Rev. David Tice, the
Methodist exhorter, was out last Sunday
in the Minneapolis Times in criticism of
Archbishop Ireland's thanksgiving SER
mon on the war. Davy hauled His
Grace over the Goals in his feeble way
for speaking kindly of the Spaniards,
and as usual wrote himself down an
ass in Dogberry fashion. What Davy
does not know OF Spanish civilization
would make several large volumes.

The London Saturday Review thus ac-
counts for English sympathy with the
United States in the Spanish American
war: 1t would seem that in this case
we English, who are generally on the
side of the little 'un" in stand-up
fight, are on the side of the big 'un-on
the side, so to speak, of the big cad in
his fight with the little gentleman.
There are several reasons for this. no
doubt. There is the "atrocity' cry, the
d-thicher-thanw water" cry, the mo
Popery" cry, and various other similar
catch words and cant phrases dear to
the Anglo-Saxon Protestant hearts in
moments of ebullition.

The ghost of the notorious case of
Selma Clewett against the House OF
the Good Shepherd was galvanized into
life for few moments last Wednesday
in the district court at st. Paul, when
Attorney Butts moved for an arrest of
judgment until Oct. Is. The matter
came up before Judge Otis on an order
to show cause. which will be heard OH
Aug. 2. Butts object is to lay foun-
dation for appealing the case to the
supreme court, and for appealing to the
pockets of his beetle-browed brethren,
who furnished him with funds in the
three trials, which cost Ramsey county
the sum of $6,O0O

from Concord, N. H., in 1873, and en-
gagged in the -four milling business. He
became member of the city council,
and served one term as mayor. No

loved by his fellow citizens. He was Il
friend of humanity and made good use
of the wealth he honestly acquired.

A writer in the New York Sun says:
No wonder that the crews of some Of
the Spanish ships wanted to jump over
hoard on coming out of the harbor All
the men were conscripts, and 600 had
been impressed just before the departure

that all the jails there were opened, and

ish ships. You can force man aboard

The court thereupon granted the mo-
ton for an election made by the de-
Tense.
Attorney General Childs and Mr.. An
derson put their heads together for a
moment, and the former, with flushed
face, arose and said with considerable
show of feeling:
was at such radical variance with the
law laid down by the supreme court
that he felt it his duty to withdraw
from the case.
Mr. Anderson said in view of what
had happened he would be obliged to
rest his case.
Mr.. OBrien moved the court to di-
rect a verdict for the defendant.
The motion was granted.
Before the reading of the verdict
Judge Willis, wheeling his chair to-
wards the jury, spoke as follows:
your labors have not been pro-
tracted to such an extent as I had an
ticipated, from the pOrtentOuS charge
made by the prosecution, that the cause
would be conducted with that good
faith, with that vigOr, with that deter
mination and with that imposing array
of evidence which the enunciation of
such a charge and it's presentation in
a court Of justice would necessarily
imply and demand. The prosecution
has rested without introducing a wit
ness. The array Of the prosecution has
fled the field without firing a gun, and
has imposed on me the duty of sub
Stimulating that presumption of innO-
cence which the wisdom of the law inn
plies by directing you, upon the alb
solute absence of evidence in this
cause to render q verdict of not guilty.
Unless some proof is presented that u
citizen accused of crime is guilty as
charged in the Indictment, the pre-
sumption of innocence prevails and OBJ
tains, and therefore [ instruct you in
this case to return q verdict of not
guilty"
The clerk prepared such a verdict
and read it to the jury.
AT the conclusion of the case another
Indictment was called for trial. This
was a joint Indictment against the
Dawsons, charging the enlightenment
of 1921, 223.
Mr.. Anderson said that, under the
ruling Of the court, the state did nor
think it could make out a case, and he
therefore moved that the indictment
be nolled. The motion was granted.
Mr.. O'Brien asked that the defendants
be discharged, there being no further
indictments against them. The mo-
ton was granted.

JURY IN THE DAMAGE SUIT FINDS
A VERDICT FOR
$3,25O.
TWELVE MEN SOON AGREED.
QUESTION OF AMOUNT WAS THE
MOST DIFFICULT THEY HAD
TIC SETTLE.
FIVE WANTED TO MAKE 1T $4,000.
Attorney Erwin at Once Asks to Be
Allowed to Amend the Lotus
Answer.

John Kane secured a verdict in the
district court yesterday of SO $50 against
Lieut. Henry Babe, of the police force,
for false arrest. MI Kane sued for
$4,000. The jury retired at 2:45 p. m.
Five of the jurors wanted to give Mr.
Kane $4,000, one thought that he ought
to have $4,000, and three were of the
opinion that he had been damaged to
the extent of $4,000. The remaining
three voted to award varying sums,
none Of which was less than $2500
Neither Of the parties to the case
was present when the verdict was re-
turned. Counsellors Butler and Erwin
were also absent. But Mrs. Kane, the
wife of the plaintiff was there, and so
was Mrs. LOTUS, the wife Of George
S. Lotus, who was arrested with Mr..
Kane and has a similar suit pending
against Mr.. Bahe.
When Deputy Clerk Bean read the
verdict Mrs. Kane and Mrs. LOTUS
were visibly affected-to smiles. After
Judge Bum had discharged the jury,
Mrs. Lotus stepped forward and
thanked each juror as he passed
through the swinging gate.
The forenoon was devoted to the
summing up by counsel. Mr.. Erwin
first addressed the jury in behalf of
the defense. In the course of his
speech Mr.. Erwin took occasion to
make the amende honorable to Mr..
Kane and Mr.. Lotus. He acknowl-
edged his belief that they were both
honest and reputable citizens, that they
had not attempted to commit any mis-
demeanor or felony and that the only
excuse the defense had was that Lieut.
Babe had probable cause to arrest
them, but, as it turned out, had made
q mistake.
Mr.. Butler followed His remarks
to the jury were not complimentary
TO the police. Many instances of gross
brutality to citizens of st. Paul on the
part of experienced officers, were re-
ferred TO by Mr.. Butler. These in
stances, Mr.. Butler said, indicated that
the longer the average man served on
the police force, the more brutal he
became. This disposition ought to be
discouraged, but instead of that, 1t was
encouraged, even to the extent of re-

FIGHT ON THE FLATS.

Somebody.

John Iannetto, living al No. 70 on the upper
flats, rushed into the central police station
shortly before Z o'clock last evening, and,
exhibiting small wound in his left leg below
the knee, declared he had been shot. Ian
netto's clothing about the wound was soaked
with blood. After composing himself he ex-
planned that there had been fight between
a number of Italians the flats, and he
said that Dominica Padua had shot him.
Capt. Rouleau ordered out the patrol wagon
and Conductor Bumgardner and officer
Perro drove to the flats to arrest Padua. He
was found at his home. and locked up at the
central station, on the charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon. He denied shooting
lannetio, and no pistol was found In his
possession. In his coat pocket, however. he
carried an open knife, on the blade of which
was something the police thought looked
like blood
, Iannetto did not appear to be seriously
hurt, and returned to his home where a
physician dressed the wound. The police saw
there has been trouble brewing on the flats
for several days. Saturday night the patrol
wagon made run to the flats to stop
hgnt which was reported to be in progress,
but all was quiet upon the arrival of the
police. Ianneto claims Padua entered lis
house last evening and attacked him with q
revolver, shooting him In the leg.
