Comment OF a st. Louis Journalist.
A st. Louis journalist, now residing in
st. Paul, favors the GLOBE with the fol-
lowing comment upon the lamentable
affair:
THE RED SLAYER.
Many hasty opinions have been formed
concerning the killing of Col. A. w. Stay
back on Friday by John A. Cockrill, man
aging editor of the st. Louis ost-Dispatch.
Col. Slayback had number of acquaint-
ances in the Northwest by whom he was
accredited with great amiability. The col
onel enjoyed similar reputation at home
among such of his acquaintance as he
never came in conflict with, but in his
legal career he had antagonized many
people aud he had never done things by
halves. Whether his adversary hap
pened to be corporation or
an individual, man or woman, the
Colonies motto was to win, and that with
out resorting to low cunning. Honest ell
oquence made enemies for him. He was
an amiable man but he was auburn haired
and he was Virginian with the towering
pride of the Old Dominion when fired.
The man who slew him was modest and
amiable editor from Ohio, but one of the
most reckless, CALLING and at times unjust
vituperators on any respectable American
newspaper. Nobody's feelings were sacred
from the scourge of this man Cockrell's
pen. The erring society belle
and the unfortunate cripple came
in alike for his unsparing ferocity. Not
many months ago Cockrill was dragged
into court for criminally ibelling some of
the officials of his city and state. The man
whom he slew had, through lack of low
cunning, perhaps, been repeatedly thwarted
in his quest after political nominations.
He had sworn never to dabble in politics
again, and his failure to adhere to his
resolution attracted the attention of the
adverse critics.
The red slayer and his victim were men
of unfortunate dispositions; they were not
vicious but they were fated to get into
trouble whenever they should meet their
man.
One version of the affair is that Cockrill
was crowded to the wall which if true
would make his act justifable homicide in
the eyes of the law, but whatever the court

His Irish Prison Experiences-A1cOlio1t the
Fruitful Source of Crime and Pauper-
ism-Terrible Extent of the Evi1-Appeal
to Save the Young from Falling into
Temptation.

It was unfortunate for the cause of tenn
perance and notifying to the temperance
league of st. Paul and Minneapolis, that
Father Nugent, who SO ably addressed this
organizations last evening, at Market hall,
spoke to so small an audience. The
reason for all this is to be found in the
fact that the notice of the meeting was
necessarily very short and consequently
wholly inadequate, and that the evening
was an unfortunate one, inasmuch as sew
eral other important meetings were being
held in different parts of the city. The
fact that the audience was not as large as
it ought to have been is no indication of
any lack of interest in the cause of tenn
perance. Market hall is an immense hall
and had the people that assembled there
last evening been in an ordinary sized hall
they would after all have constituted 6
good-sized audience.

Col. Slayback, in the reception room of
the club, used violent language toward the

carrying Jug like this filed with beer,
who gets the first sup? The child
that carries the jug, and then this
child acquires habit and taste for
drinking. Oh! drink! Drink is an in
sidious demon. That child that is sent to
that public house by that parent is on the
road to destruction, and that jug that was
in her hand is more deadly weapon than
charge of dynamite. Do you wonder
when tell you that 6,357 more women
came under my charge during the past
year than men? These children-these
girls of such tender age-are sent to these
public houses, and thus they imbibe this
habit at all early age. Thank God, what
ever may be the faults of your liquor
dealers, I believe they would not serve
little girl with liquor. I believe, in your
western country, that if woman should go
into saloon the saloon keeper would say
to- her, 'madam, this is not the place for
you. :" But in our country girls of thir-
teen and fourteen years of age will go in
and call for drink, and brutes in the form
of men will give them this alcohol hre.
Do you wonder at It'll then, when tell you
that there are on the streets OF London,

Will not drink rob any woman! When
woman is slave of drink she loses her
reason; she loses her self control;
the fire of sensuality takes
possession of her, and she be-
comes an easy victim. These poor children

I had under my care, girls that are not
eighteen years of age, but who have been
in that prison twenty and thirty; girls not
twenty-five that have been forty and fifty
times, robbed of all shame, all sense of de-
cency, outrageous in their conduct, neither
fearing God nor man? Have you travelled
across the ocean? Have you stood at eth

London, or walked out on the street be-

an act of contrition SO fervently, more
ardently, but it was in the delirium of
drink and in the madness of drink he
went on. 'Oh,'' he said, death is come to
me. Touch me not...They shall throw me in
tothe sea-" Little did he think, if he
had reason then, that in twelve-that with
in twelve hours he would be thrown into
the sea. Poor man. No reason had the
least effect upon him. Eight strong men
overpowered him. He was put into the
straight jacket, carried down into the hospi-
tai, everything was done for him, but he
died and on a Sunday, with crowd of
passengers standing around that poor
marine, magnificent fellow-found a
watery grave in the Atlantic. /, with an
officer of the ship, examined his TRUNK, and
we found that he was far above the condi-
ton of the ordinary emigrant. He had as
good clothes slowed away in his bag as /
wear, and a mothers or sisters love had
been at work, for when We came to exam
inc the little arrangements there was a
beautiful brush and comb and tooth brush
and collars and ties and shirts, and there
was love-there was love around around it,
for you could see, even to the delicacy of
little bottle of perfume. Oh! l
thought to myself, oh! that I had the
power to bring this example before men
and ask them to think how that poor man,
who had been brought up SO religiously,
who in his delirium, in his wild delirlum,
pronounced that act of contrition, ask
them how it was that such as he, that
drunkard's grave in the bottom OF the
