The Kelsey Tragedy.

The inquest at Huntington yesterday
developed some important evidence touching
the identity of the remains which the Oyster
Bay fishermen brought to the shore last week.
The chain found has been positively identified
thereto tor Charles G.. Kelsey, the victim of
the brutality of Huntington. To the lifelong
resident of city like New York the bitter
feeling about the tarring outrage which
has divided the little village into hostile
political camps can scarcely be comprehensi-
the precincts of religion in the place will be
greater mystery still But such is the fact,
and the ''tar' party and 'no tar party have
each their church and their caucus, as well as
their opinion about what was at least a
disgraceful outrage and almost certainly
brutal murder. There is certain con-
fusion about the statements on both sides
which makes the truth very difficult to
get at. The ''tar' party affirm that
Kelsey is alive. Their statement is founded
on that of q relative of one Of the parties in
dicted that she saw Kelsey since his disappear
They ore also anxious to have it disbelieved
that the remains found are those of Kelsey.
Their instincts of self-preservation are so much
on the side of this theory that beyond in
genuity it counts for very little. Some of the
interested parties have started the likewise
ingenious theory that the legs could not float.
Whether, according to science and 'tar" or ''no
tar philosophy, they should or should not float,
is not half so much to the point as direct
answer to the question, Did they float? The
theory that the Kelsey family laid plot so
deep as to cover all the details necessary to
sey's effects on it where it would be tished out
is another piece Of ingenuity which credits
the family with perfectly diabolic power for
secret conspiracy. The mo tar" people have
their ingenious theories also, with deep
hintings and finger pointings. Indeed,
the village gossip and hearsay, if taken for any
more than it is worth-namely, very little
would constitute all the inhabitants race Of
Machiavels. Our business is to look at the
evidence. The murder of Kelsey-if murder
was done-was probably the work of two men.
When we view the hesitancy and lodging
which have characterized those who could
throw light on the mystery we must
heartily condemn. There were, doubtless,
many connected with the first outrage who
would have been unwilling to see murder done.
1t is the duty Of all such to aid the law in dis
covering all the facts. They could tell who the
two men were that Kelsey unmasked That
might be some clew, as these latter would
probably have most reason for closing Kelsey's
mouth forever. 1t would be higher duty
for minister to urge such course upon those
whom he must teach ''Thou shalt not kill
than to urge one man to withdraw charges
against another whose defence must be made
in a court of justice, and not in conventicle.
