10 The Editor n The Tribune
CHICAGO, Nov. 4--"But though we, or any
angel from Heaven, preach any other Gospel
unto you than that which we have preached unto
you, let him be accursed." 4 verse or two pre-
vious to the above, Paul, speaking Of Christ,
writes: "Who gave Himself for our sins"
Now, It is not our duty to pronounce sentence
Of punishment upon Mr.. Herford. God has
said vengeance is mine, l will repay, saith the
Lore, !" and also through His servant Paul the
words already quoted Let us leave that part
only try, BY the grace OF God, to lead some OF
those whom Satan may have enticed from the
narrow path By the words spoken last Sunday
night,-and, should it please God, even the
speaker Of those words a1so-back from their
fearful wretehedncss Of doubt, darkness, and
misery into the light Of believing on the Lamb.
whose blood was once SO freely shed for then,
for all that will believe. Unbelief Is what
to see salvation as it truly is in
Christ Jesus. Let us then forget
sell, forget our doctrines and crecds, aud only
look to the Bible and see what God tells US, and
remember that every word is Gods word. We
cannot believe one part and disbeGeTe another.
II We hope to get any light We must Danish un~
belief once and forever, Or it will be in vain that
we seek for light

Indictments against Babcock, Harring.

Indictments against Babcock, Harring-
ton, Whitley, Benton, Miles. Nettlcship,
and somerville-Marshal Sharp In Dan.
ger.
WASHINGTON, April 15-The grand jury to-
day indicted Babcock, Harrington, Whitley,
Benton, Miles, Nettleship AMI Somervlle for
completely in the safe burglary conspiracy and
warrants have been issued for the arrest OF
each, except Babcock who appeared and gave
bail in $1,000, Shepherd becoming his surety
New indictments against w. ii. Ottman were
also found by the grand jury.
A rumor prevails that evidence IS before Inc
grand jury sufficient to indict Marsnai sharpe
on charge of packing the jury that tried inc
safe burglary conspirators in 1914, ous IL can
positively stated that no examination OF Wit
nesses on this branch of the case has yet taken
place.
that none of the secret service men know any
body but Babeock in the safe burglary business,
and none know either Harrington or Alexander.
Whiteley also said that year before the safe
burglary, Babcock wanted him to get Dana,
editor of the Sun, to Washington, Babcock
saying that if he got him in that city he would
put him in the penitentiary: He said Babcock
wanted to kidnap Raymond FL. Perry for testi-
flying against him in the San Domingo business.
This job Whiteley tried to accomplish, but the
Governor of Rhode Island refused to grant a
requisition as the papers were not legally
drawn. Babcock subsequently, acknowledged
the papers were defective.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-District Attorney
Wells does not believe the safe burglary trial
will be reached before the middle of June.
No trouble is expected in obtaining the pres.
ence here of Whitley, NettIeship, Hayes and
CUM. Whiteley's pardon depends upon his tes-
tifying and upon his testimony depends the en-
tire case against Babcock. Harrington has not
been found, but it is believed he will come for
ward and take his chance, though the evidence
against him is very positive. There is no evil
dence duplicating ex.Gov. Shepherd, Thomas
Shepherd or DR.. Sharpe, and the Dis.
trict Attorney does not believe Marshal Sharpe
is in any way guilty of packing the jury

Another State ment from MIR. Medili Con-
corning the Cincinnati Consultation.
CHICAGO, April 15.-The conference between
Joseph Medill, Richard Smith and three others
at Cincinnati having led to many mistatements,
alike un Just to James G. Blaine and the gen.
tlemen named, an agent of the Associated
Press interviewed Mr.. Medill again to-day ON
that subject, and received the following state
ment:
1t is true was invited to Cincinnati about a
month ago to read some statements quietly Cir
culated in Democratic circles in Washington
in reference to Blaine's alleged connection
with some Union Pacific Railroad bonds. 1t
was said the Democrats were holding back the
scandal to explode it at the time of the Cincin-
natl convention, or after in case Blaine was
nominated. The whole charge, as far as my
informant had learned, was related in the
presence of four gentlemen. 1t was agreed
that Blaine should be confidentially apprised at
once of the nature of the scandal. Any other
course would be wrong: Richard Smith con-
scented to lay the whole matter before Mr..
Blaine in private letter: He did so nearly a
letter have not heard of it. If any cores
pondence has passed between Mr.. Blaine and
myself in regard to the foregoing matter, Mr..
Blaine is at liberty to make it public.

Mr.. Blaine, he purchased $4,000 worth of
stocks and bonds of the Little Rock & Fort
Smith railroad, paying $4,000. In 1872. re.
marking to Blaine that the Investment had
turned out badly, he (Blaine) offered to take it
off his hands apd did so, paying him $4,000.
Mr.. Hager says the transaction does not have
the slightest political significance.

Forty Fourth Congress-First Session.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
Mr.. White of Kentucky had read an article
from the Concord N. H., Monitor, printed
circular signed by one Charles 81. Smith, Jour
nal clerk of the House, offering to act in the
prosecution of additional bounty claims for
commission of % per cent. The article also
speaks of being confidential clerk of Represent
alive Jones of New Hampshire, and describes
the proposition as nice scheme to make few
perquistes by an ambitious young man who
holds an Office disqualifying him from openly
acting as an attorney before the departments
Mr.. White offered resolution instructiDg
the Judiciary Committee to enquire into the
matter.
Mr.. Smith, the journal clerk, handed an ex-
planatory letter to the Speaker. which states
that being at home in New Hampshire at the
recent election, he saw in dispatches that an
additional bounty bill was before the House.
He made up his mind that if the bill should
pass to resign and follow the profession Of an
attorney, and in that view he had prepared and
issued the circular referred to.
Mr. Morrison Of Illinois offered an amend
ment to Mr.. Whites resolution, referring Mr..
Smiths commune ltion to the Committee on
Military Affairs with instructions to ascertain
whether Smith had violated any article incon-
sistent with his position as an employe of the
House.
Mr.. Hoar of Massach dsetts contended that
the question was one as to what method the
House should take to secure the honesty and
integrity Of its Journal, on which the honesty
and integrity of all the rights of the American
were dependent. He thought the matter
should be referred to the Committee on Rules.
Mr. Morrison modified the resolution accord
ingly. and the question was referred to the
Committee on Rules.
Mr.. Douglass of Virginia, of the select COM
mttee of the Freedmen's Bank reported bill
to amend the charter of that institution. Made
a special order for Saturday next.
Mr.. Knott of Kentucky, of the Judiciary
Committee, reported back the Senate bill pro-
viding for administering oaths in impeachment
trials.
Mr.. Singleton of Mississippi, from the Ap-
preparation Committee, reported back the Sem
ate amendments to the consular appropriation
bill and moved that they be pon-concurred in
IN gross.
Mr.. Garfield demonstrated and the amend
ments were ordered printed and recommitted.
Mr.. Hurd of Ohio, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported resolution instructlng the
Sergeant alarms not to give up Kilbourne to
any judge or court on any habeas corpus until
instructed SO to do by the House.
Considerable debate ensued.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Lynde of
Wisconsin in behalf of the minority of the COM
mittee instiucting the Sergeant-at-Arms to
take Kilb0urne before the court in answer to
the hobeas corpus. Mr.. Lynde advocated his
resolution as a substitute and said parliament
had not violated the habeas corpus since 1904.
Without action and after Mr.. Hurd had noti-
fed the House that he would demand the pre-
vious question Monday afternoon, the House
adjourned.
