EPattlitti. et neer Culver en felmeeet of' Contempt— Congriteeeletione dilereeed cpen the 8taient Media A Cihioag,o despatch ot Weduesday n3 1 liaya : The convicted murderers a D. °Minn had plenty of visitors during the short time allowed for visite at the jail. The At prieat to vieit the mee since their arrest was Father MaGinnity, of Monroe, Wis., who was O'Sullivan's pastor when the prieouer lived in that part ref the State. The words of cheer and coneolation which were spoken by the reverend visitor helped to raise the prisoner's spirits to an 'unusual degree. Burke has few friends in this 'world and is left a good deal to himself, but his broth courage and cheerf airless never desert him. Lawyer Forrest held a mysteriously secret interview with Burke, Coughlin and O'Sullivan in the morning. He brought a document, winch eaoh prisoner signed Without hesitation as soon DB it was read to them. I:Incept that the document had reference to future moves to be taken on behalf of the prisoners Mr. Forrest would say nothing about it. All the lawyere for the defence and pro- seoution intend rem take a well-earned rest during the holidays, but none of them will say where they are going. Mr. W. A. Foster's mail continues to be filled with congratulatory letters from old friende. Judge H. C. Henderson, of Mar- ehalltown, Iowa, Mr. Foster's old home, wrote "1 believe that Beggs was the guiltiest of the lot, and my belief is strengthened by the fact that yon did not put him on the stand. But I am glad for your sake that he was acquitted." Mr. John Culver, the notorious juror, who eaved three of the murderers from tho, scaffold, called on the State Attorney to- day in company with Banker S. A. Kean, Sunday sohool superintendent and friend of the religions juror. The object of the visit Was to SITIEIG his attain:le in the jury room and justify his unfavorable view of the State'a case; but the attempt to " square" himself was a dismal failure. Judge Longenecker expressed he opinion in vigorous language, and resented Mr. Culver's familiarity in addreseing hien as •" Brother Longenecker." The Clan-ne-Gael element in the police Ione is being weeded out, the future motto of the authorities being, "NoClan-na•Gael need apply." Chief of Police Hubbard is to be reduced to the rank of captain, and fax -United States Marshal Marsh given comraand of the department. zusvzx To ONE. The Cronin Jurors Win Make a Public Statement. A Chiortgo despatch of last (Friday) night says : " Will O'Sullivan make a confes- sion 2" was asked of Lawyer Hines to -day. "Well, O'Sullivan's face always looked repentant, and I don't think he will live long. He wore a kind of pained expreseson, but I have always been in doubt whether it was his conscience or his stomach which troubled him. He will confess if any of them do." A complete statement of all that trans- pired in the jury -room will be signed by eleven jurors in a few days, and given out for publication, so that the world may know how the verdict was reached. "1 am thoroughly disgusted with the jury system of this State, said Juror Bon., tecon. "The system compelling a unani- mous verdict is simply rotten." "Will anything be said abcut bribery in the public: statement 2" " I caret tell you. I know I wasn't bribed. We knew all about the attempt to bribe Juror Dix soon after the attempt was made. It was just about the time that the exposure of the jury -bribing conspiracy was made. Dix got the letter and the necktie he was to wear, and it was turned over to the bailiff, who opened it. The bailiffs kept pretty close to us all the time, but occasionally things happened that should not. For instance, I was allowed to go home and see my wife several times.

' O'SIILLIVA..N COULD A TALE UNFOLD. The weight and guilt upon the mind and soul of Patrick O'Sullivan is more than he can bear, The harrier of thet awful night of May 4th in the Carleon cottage is making severe inroads upon the convicted murderer's ,conetitution and nervous eye. tem. Consumption has laid its fatal hand upon O'Sullivan, and he realizes that his daye are numbered. He may not live to pees under the portals of the Joliet Peni- tentiary. His sleep is broken nightly by visions of his viatica and the scenes eur- rounding the murder. His guilty con. i science is at work, and there s a general impression that he will Boon lift the load from his mind by telling -all he knows abont the great conspiracy. The State Attorney is anxious now only for big confessions, which will fasten the orime of murder upon those who walk the streets to -day free men. Liberty awaits O'Sullivan if he can reveal the hidden hand in bis confession and furnish coroborative evidence. Them is a strong doubt that O'Sullivan was in the, -confidence of the, arch -conspirator, and knows as much as Coughlin. As one of the turnkeys, who in • on night watch in the murderers' row at the county jail, was passing by O'Sullivan's oell last night he heard these words, uttered in piteous, despairing tones: "1 Gannet face my God with this load on my mind." Stepping softly to the door, the turnkey peered through the bars, but leave nothing in the darkneed. Raising his lantern, he looked again, and saw the forra of the ice- man lying prostrate on hie rough lond, with his faoe turned toward the wall. " What'sthe matter, O'Sullivan?" in- quired the turnkey. • The prisoner turned a pale and haggard fate toward the watchman, started up, and after a minute's ellen ce answered surlily with laie old scowl, "Nothing" Then he flung himself upon his rude cot again and buried his face in the pillow, as if to shut out Boma horrid sight. The voice of con- science was indeed speaking and pleading in the felon's cell. NO NEW TF.IAL PROBABLE.. With the alow machinery of the Supreme Court on their side, it is not likely that Cougyn, Burke, and O'Sullivan will eee the inside of the penitentiary until a year bas elapsed. , Neither the prisoners nor their lawyers expect or desire to have the judgment of the Lower Court revereed and a new trial ordered. But the raurderers prefer to stay in jail for a year rather than be at hard work in the State's prison. As all three are in for life they -want to have as easy a time as possible. When Judge McConnell overrulee the /notion for a new trial, it is expected that Kann will receive his sentence and go at once to Joliet. eirmecc AxoTztzz vicTrax Of the Detroit School Tragedy of Friday Dan.

Certaiely, but neither Baldwin nor any other man 'man give some people. intelligenoe and . crewmen sense. Robert, Baldwiu was one of Canada's best men and one municipal institutions are among the, • best things we leave. It anybody tried to abolish municipal councils there would be a civil War. , Some of the county councils are nearly as large els the Local Parlia- ment—at least three,times as large as they need to be—bat any attempt to reduce their number would be resisted, The people would fight for privileges which some of them et min pee 'without •being canvassed and some are too careless to nue even when canvenieed, Why hiliOuld. shy oipable. twin: who is willing to give time, health and labor for the public weal be compelled to tramp aronnd on the back 'streets and back con- ceseions asking people to vote for bim ?

There is one hind of roan, that ought to be disfranchised an sight ; 'that is the man who says at every election "11 my vote is not worth asking it is not worth giving." If we were the Mowed Government we would so amend the municipal law that when a man talks in that way he would maestri be a voter. No sdoubt he think° that is a very clever thing to say. Be imagines it is witty and smart. If he lost his vote for having en& Contemptibly mean ideas about the franchise perhaps he would not think himself so clevei. But let it not be supposed for a moment that municipal Privileges am the only ones that men are more ready eo fight for than nee. For the best exemplee of unused privileges you must go into the ohurchea, especially the Presbyterian Chnroh. Pres- byterians would fight to the death—at least some ,of them would—for the privilege of calling their own minister. Let a Presby- terian committee, Synod or any other kind of organization try to place a minister over any Presbyterian congregation and there would be instant war. A proposal to do nothing more serious than limit the length of time for binning candidates meets with violent reeistanoe. And yet in a congregation dif fwe or three hun- dred you rarely find fifty at a meeting to moderate in a call. The call has then to be hawked around the people for weeks and in the end all their piens. lures are not obtained. Men who would shout about "patronage" and the " Dis- ruption," and " Dramelog" and the o clay- mores of the Covenanters," if a minister were placed over them won't walk ten rode to helpto select one. Surely if • privilege is not worth figleting for it is not worth using. We hear a good deal these days shout an open Bible. In fact we hear more than we S08 on that question. Go into almost any Methodist church and you find that only eti mall proportion of the people use Bibles when the Scriptures are being, read. There • is e. sad falling of in' tide regard itt many Presbyterian churches. The old familiar rustle of opening bootee is rarely heard. No doubt many of the men who never open a Bible in church would like to have a rumpus with somebody about an open Bible. If it is snob a good ting to have an open Bible why in the nitrite of common sense don't you open year Bible in church? Is the' Bible given to men to wrangle about? Surely a man who wants to fight somebodyabeut the !men Bible ought to open his own--ithe' his. One. See that men rushing about the street looking for somebody. Who is he.?
