A MURDER case which excited great
deal of attention in st. Louis is about to
come to close by the acquittal of the
assas sin. A man named Kring became
infatuated with his business partners
wife and in fit of indignation at her re-
fusal to accede to his wishes, shot and
killed her. He has been twice tried and
convicted of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. But the
sentence Was reversed each time by the
supreme court on some little techuicality.
His case went up to the supreme court
of the United States and reversal was
secured there. Together with the two
trials named, he pleaded guilty to muir
der in the End degree but withdrew the
plea after sentence was pronounced
There were also two mis-trials. Once
there were but twelve hours left him be-
fore the time fixed for his execution, but
a stay Of proceedings ''let him out. -
Now he is out on bell of SO, 900 and will
be arraigned for murder in the second
degree, but his acduittal is looked for.
A man with money may safely defy JUS
tice.

SENATOR HILL of Colorado has written
an open letter to Secretary Teller, charg
ing him with official misconduct and cor
ruption. The charges are specific and
of such q nature that the secretary can
not plead his position in the cabinet to
escape noticing them. He is charged
with giving control of the Yellowstone
Park to syndicate, contrary to resolu-
ton of congress; with giving decisions
in favor of railroad companies as against
the government and the people; with
discharging some of his subordinates to
make places for men whom he had prom
ised positions as compensation for per-
sonal political services; with using gov
eminent officers to manage political mat
tiers exclusively while drawing pay from
the government; with appointing persons
to Offices of trust who were VIGOROUSLY
guilty of dishonest acts, and who were
refused appointments previously because
of this known dishonesty; and with be-
ing implicated in making fraudulent
land entries, proof of which may be
found in the Denver Land Office. These
are very serious charges and are made
direct.

ONE-HALF the balderdash published

ONE-HALF the balderdash published OF
the nations defenders" is insincere,
hypocritcal and selfish. The soldiers are
men who feel like resenting the constant
current of flattery from persons who have
some axe TO grind. They naturally take
some pride in the work they have done,
but do not want to be represented as so
totally possessed by vanity as to demand
that their praises be constantly sung.
Congressman have We'd with each other
il introducing bills 20 increase the pen.
sious of soldiers. So lavish has been
the government, that pension agents
grew fat and secure pensions to persons
il no way entitled to them, even ad
vertising that desertion is no bar. Sol
diers themselves protested against such
extravaganza, but the politicians thought
it was just the way to make themselves
solid.
Governor Cleveland is the first execu-
tive who has shown some backbone in
the matter. A bill passed the n. Y.
Legislature giving pension of SI2 per
month to the survivors of the Mexican
war. Cleveland promptly vetoed it, and
said it was time that justice to taxpayers
sh ould replace generosity to soldiers
Tho n. Z. Herald in commenting ap-
proviugly upon this action of Governor
Cleveland, says: Pension bills are al
most always drafted for political purpos-
es and no one dares refuse to vote for
them; no governor or president dares
veto them for fear of alternating the SOL
der vote from himself or his party. It
is time for this costly nonsense to emo.

The Irish Convention at Philadelphia
did its work quite well, in fact went be-
yond expectation. An Irish deliberative
BODY is too often so in name only. En-
thusiasm runs into extravagance and
everything said or done has the stamp
of ex.itement. There were number of
delegates to the Philadelphia convention
who were willing to subordinate reason
to big words and Incorporate language;
but fortunately the moderate element
were in the majority and the proceedings
have been as calm aud dispassionate as
they could be with SO large an element
present partial to rodomontade. A great
share of the credit for this is due to
Alexander Sullivan, the president elect,
who opened the proceedings with
speech full of calm reason and good
sense, as we'll as eloquence and vlgor.
The previous question was used to good
purpose to repress the foolish exuberance
of those who think they can demoilsh
England with the tongue. Fortunately
for the reputation of the Irish people,
there was very little speech making ard
business was transacted with celebrity and
without much confusion.
The platform adopted would be more
dignifed if less denunciatory. The De-
claration of Independence which had its
| birth within the same city where met the
representatives of the Irish people to
promulgate like doctrines, should teach
them that calm arraignment would
appeal more strongly to the good will
and sympathy of the world, than plen-
tiful use of adjectives and invective.
The Irish of America must demon
strate the fitness of the race for self
government. They are freemen and
exercise the right of citizens. 1t cannot
be urged in extenuation of their mistakes
that they are inexperienced and untaught.
When number of representative Irish
men meet to formulate some general plan
of action and properly present their
grievances, if they demonstrate their fit
ness to manage the affairs of state, ii
is by doing promptly the business they
have in hand and not by grandiose rhet-
ORIG and empty boasting. The French
National Assembly had great number
of orators and the turgid eloquence OF
that body left nothing unsaid that words
were capable of expressing. But it was
noisy, turbulent, improbable body in
capable of governing itself much less the
nation.
1t is gratifying to know that the speech
makers attendant upon the Philadelphia
convention came away unsatisfed. 1t If
the highest compliment that could bt
paid 10 the wisdom that directed the con
vention. The Irish people have formul
ated their complaint and taken steps t.
secure unity of action. There have beer
no wild challenges sent across the sea 10y
| the idle breath Of ambitious orators
Business and promptitude for the once
| supplanted rhetoric.

1t is quite difficult for Miss Kane to
awaken any sympathy in her present
predicament growing out of her rude as
sault on Judge Mallory. But the case
is different so far as Bissinger, the re-
porter of The Herald is concerned. The
man who would demand an apology of a
woman under threat of arrest, is too
small an object against which to direct
severe language. He has just courage
enough to join in the hunt against q
woman who is defenseless aud who has
acted so improperly as to place herself
outside the safeguard of public senti-
ment. Reporters are not so sensitive
that apologies must be used as poultices
for hurt feelings. A woman in such
straits as Miss Kane now is, is hardly the
proper person from whom to demand
redress. A true gentleman would pity,
might even be moved to relieve, and GER
tainly would not add to, her misfortunes.
No true man would turn his lordly indig-
nation on poor, friendless woman, who
has not even the protection which public
sentiment so generously accords to PEG
pie of her sex. The yelping cur is al
ways brave when the quarry is in flight.
While her exhibition of temper deserves
condemnation, and the act to which it
led, demands her punishment, still it
puts manhood to the blush to see
reporter of such delicate organization,
so earnest devotee of punctilio that
his injured feelings demand an apology
from woman, oppressed with more care
and anxiety than her strength can en-
dure. This was manly, courageous, gal
LIANT, magnanimous. That reporter should
be kept out of the sun or made to wear
veil when he ventures out. He should
wear goggles so that the harshness of
natures features may be softened for his
eye. His tender soul is driven to agony
by the unrestricted action of the senses.
He is too goody.

English paper as saying: ''To conspire

in New York, would be an offence against

of Napoleon III and also for making the
bomb With which it was attempted to
blow up the FIench Emperor, British

most positive proof of his guilt2 And
