THE ANTI CATHOLIC OATH

London. Lord Salisbury in the
house Of lords, referring to the anti
Catholic declaration contained in the
cath which King Edward took at the
opening Of parliament, said that while
he deplored the language in which
the declaration is couched it must be
remembered that the enactment rep.
resented the passions and feelings of
the period when it was adopted. The
passions Of parliament are now not &C
strong, but there were undoubtedly
parts Of the country where the con.
trovsrsies aroused by the declaration
still fourished and where the emo.
tions which 1t produced had net died
out. II legislation was undertaken Il
ought TO be started in the house Of
commons and he was not certain but
that strong feelings might be reused
there.

A prisoner in an Ohio Jail has been
punished because he insisted on having
his striped trousers creased. 1t was
ridiculous for the authorities to object.
A man who could give thought to his
personal appearance under such cir
cumstances must have something good
in him. And seeing that one OF the
difficulties with convicts is to make
them keep neat, this fellow, instead of
being punished. ought to have been

defensein a very able manner, bring
ing up the principal points In the
evidence In a skillful and forcible
style which showed that the evidence
for the state had been carefully
CLEANED.
The jury went to supper before
considering the case and did not re-
tire to the jury room until { O'Clock.
At 1890 a verdict of not guilty was
reached and the defendant was
brought into court, which was
called to order az soon as officers
could be gathered. When the verdict
was read G. W. Bauley expressed DO
emotion and preserved the same
quiet demeanor which he has held
throughout the entire proceedings.
1t Is only fair to say that the evil
dence for the state, considering the
paucity OF material on which there
was to work was gotten up in a
mastery manner and much credit Is
due to the county attorney and as
sistant counsel and also to the state
officers for their diligence In the
matter.
