The CONFERENCE of the leading
men o; the republican party at New
York on Thursday would seem to
have brought gladnsss to the hearts
OF the etalRsrts, bu! it was not with
out its sorrows. Roscoe Conkling
was not present, and Roscoe OOnk-
ling is the man who carries the
republican party OF the Empire state
in his pocket. The Times, according
to the teleSrsphio dispatches, re-
marks that while his absence was
conspicuous. it was an instance OF pro-
found lfdenisl In the interest of
party harmony; aud that he remained
away so as to prevent the possibility of
widening the breach opened at Chi
cage, and which is now being healed
over. At the same time its Stops over
MIR. ConkliDg and intimates that this
act on his part will awaken in the
bosom OF Garfield feeling of eternal
gratitude; which sentiment may,
without any Bilful perversion. be as
reasonably construed as a sarcasm as
ii may be held an earnest utterance.
II the republicans can draw any con-
ISOLATION from the absence of the great
political general of New York, it is
vel for them; but to persons inclined
to take a liberal view Of these
matters, it is another strong
argument in favor OF the
widespread belief, and one that has
yet to be efectually eradicated. that
Mr.. Conkling has no soul and little
sympathy for the nominee of his
party fer President. The influence
of this man is too great to be viewed
IS triding, and his absence from the
great conference can but impress
people with the opinion that he is no.
heartily in cooperation with his party
and Is not so anxious Tor Its success.
Were he really, as the republican
press would have the public believe,
anxious for party harmony, then
be would have been present at the
conference, demonstrated his desire
for the partY's welfare, given the
benefit of his advice and exercised
his influence in q positive manner; all
of which could have been done with
out any danger whatever of making |
new enemies or OF rousing old ones,
had ar. Conkling been SO deeply and
sincerely solicitous for the success OF
his party and for harmony in its
ranks.

THE BENDER BUTCHERS.
Tne Old Woman Confesses

sickening Details of Murders.

Chicago, Gan Omaha, Neb.,
special to the Tribune says: To day
Mrs. Bender was visited in jail at
Fremont by an Omaha reporter, 10
whom she said the frst murder com
mitted By her and her husband was
in Illinois, on their farm near Jack
sonyille. The victim asked for lodg-
ing and supper, and in paying for
the same in advance exhibited con.
siderable money. While eating
supper Bender cut his head in two
from behind, and he was dumped
into a cellar through trap door,
arranged by Bender. The corpse
was buried the next morning back of
the houee. A few weeks after this
they vent to Iowa, remaining eight
months. They then went TO Indiana,
living on the murdered man, money;
then to Kansas, where Bender
children by his first wife. John and
Kate, were living together with a
cousin, named Maggie. They kept a
resort fer travellers and called it Ben
der's Hotel. They had committed
no murders prior to the old
folks arrival. but in the course
OF time old Bender arranged q trap
door and then the numbering opera
tions began. Kate at one time had a
man in bed with her and she cut his
throat and slept till morning beside
the corpse. His money was divided.
She never injured horse thieves and
cut threats who came to the house,
but entertained them well with her
cousin Maggie. No murders were
committed by the family alter they
fed from Kansas. Old Bender has
confessed, believing the old woman
has escaped. Els story tsllies with
his Wife's exactly. He relates his
story of the whole family and their
crimes. The sheriff from Kansas is
now probably at Lincoln obtaining a
requisition from the governor and
will be at Fremont tomorrow.

If THIS sort of thing continues il
will be necessary for fellow, in order
to be held in any esteem or be
the recipient of attention from all
quarters, to murder some one or
commit a crime of a very heinous
character. The vile murderer Pedro
Balbo was hung in New York on
Friday, and not only seemed prepared
but anxious to 60. In the morning
be attended mass, and just before the
moose was adjusted, knelt beneath
the scsHoid and prayed, atking for
giveness and extending it to all. Tc-
day he is to be buried, and the hearse
containipg bis remains will be pre-
ceded by the representatives Of fifteen
Italian societies. In the good old
days the laws were not only as severely
executed against murderers and
criminals of all classes as now, but
public sentiment was also an inn
portant factor in the punishment OF
crime, and it was not without its
beneficial effects. 1t was not
enough for man to have
expistsd his crime according to
the manner prescribed by law, but q
moral influence was at work which
rendered it necessary for him to have
done more than served his allotted
period OF confinement; he should also
show a contrition OF spirit and re-
pentance that at least had the ap-
pearance of genuineness. Now 8
man may have been guilty OF the
most atrocious ofense, be condemned
to death as the penalty, and yet if lie
but profess repentance he is informed
that complete forgiveness shall be

course exercises healthy infuenc

The ASSOCIATED Press and its re-
representatives. are notoriously republi-
can. Our readers well know how the
prospects of republican victories in
elections are heightened, how the re-
cord of the party is whiteWashed, how
republican campaign speeches are
telegraphed all over the country,
how democratic chances ara dimin.
ished, how the party record is black
ened and how the democratic CAM
paign speeches are ignored, except in
very exceptional cases. Outside OF
politics the Associated Press reports
are generally very reliable; but in
politics. and in such the reports deal TO
a great extent, they are as unreliable
as they could we'll be. The agents
seem sohoo!ed in every branch Of
perversion, and have undoubtedly
graduated with honors az professors of
political Misrepresentation. The
Chicago Times has taken up the cub
| isct snd makes mention of it in this
manner
The complaint against the mismanage-
ment of the Associated Press in the mat
ter of presenting the whole news Of the
campaign is made in other cities than
| Chicago. It is not q matter of particul ST
moment to the Times whether the associ-
alton ignores the news Of one political
organization while making much of that
ofsnother. Readers of the Times know
that its arrangements Tor collection are
so complete that it never misses any
news. But it is manifest that the
management Of the association is partisan
and one-sided, so far IS the transmission
Of political news goes. Because Mr..
William Henry Smith is an offceholder
in Chicago his relations toward his trust
as manager Of the Western Press As
sociation are not altered. There should
be fair play always, and Mr.. Smith, who
failed at reforming the politics of Cook,
ought to try his hand on reforming himself
| in his capacity as manager Of the Press
Association. Though there is a proba-
bility that with the election of Garfield,
Mr.. Smith will be retained in his office
as collector of customs, he ought not,
therefore, abuse his trust SIS collector Of
news.

Thanks.

Capt. J. H. Perry and his estimable lady desire to return their most earnest and sincere thanks to their numerous friends, who rendered them so much assistance and did 60 many acts of kind- ness during their late sickness. It is a pleasure beyond expression to realize the unanimous and heartfelt sympath of the entire community, and in ac- knowledging the same, they feel more qualification than they can express. Knowing that their daughter had every attention possible shown her in her declining hours, while they, toe, were bordering on the verge of the grave, and hardly dreaming of the terrible shock so suddenly awaiting them in the loss of their daughter. And while expressing themselves in the language of owen Meredith,
 "why place the posy in the cold dead
 hand;
 Why plant the rose above the lovely Why bring the corpse across the salt Why deem the dead more near in na-
 tive land."
 Still 1t is a satisfact ion that will live forever in tho labyrinths of fond msm- ory, 'tgrappling to their hearts with hooks of steslo their many friends to whom they are so grateful for kind- nesses in the solitary hours of sickness and death.
 We are happy to say the remaining members of the family are rapidly re- covering. Glad to sec you on the streets again, Captain.
