liam Mckinley was in this valley last
week, and while here attended the COM
mencement exercises Of the Poland Union
Seminary. Democratic newspapers and
politicians have been assailing Major Mo-
Kinley, with view Of weakening the Re-
publican party, for having voted to re.
duce the tariff on wool. Happening to
meet Mr.. Mckinley, q correspondent called
his attention TO these Democratic charges,
and asked him what he had to say regard
ing them. Lt.t.} }y. "a D 5..'T 81 .
He replied, saying that his position was
we'll understood, and Democrats ought to
know, ifthey don't, that they are misreprc-
Senting him. The Ways and Means Com.
mittee Of the House adopted the amend
ment INTRODUCED to restore the duty on
wuoL and authorized me to otfsr. 1t ~ an
amendment 10 the tariff bill when that
schedule was reached In the House. Itwas
never reached. The Senate in the mean
time passed its bill and sent II to the House.
A conference committee was appointed
upon theS Senate bill and the House dis.
agreements thereto. was member Of
the conference committee. I offered an
amendment there to restore the old dnty on
wool. Itwas voted down. l then refused
10 sign the conference reports, because the
duty on wool was reduced, and certain
forms ofiron and steel, including cotton
ties, were not sufficiently protected. When
the bill came before the House | voted
against It for the came reasons that refused
toRign the conference reports. In concla-
sion Mr.. Mckinley says My sympathies

WASHINGTON, June ls.-In the Criminal
Court this morning, Rerdell appeared. &C.
companied by Messrs Merrick and Ker
Judge Wylie asked Rerdell iihe desired
10 withdraw the plea ofguilty Of conspiracy
in the Star route case. Rerdell answered
in the affirmative. ts r
"Under the circumstances said Judge
Wylie, "the Court has no hesitation in al.
lowing that to bsdone. One man cannot
be guilty Of conspiracy. The jury has ac.
quilted the others and that Is enough"
Mr.. Merrick said: aThe Government
will enter q nolle pros for him.
Tho Court directed the clerk TO enter q
nolle pros, and Rerdell left.
After the organization OF the juries for
the June term, Mr.. Ker called up the case
against William Pitt Kellogg, charged with
receiving money In connection with the
mail contracts while in the United States
Senate. Ker said heunderstood Kellogg
was under bail A messenger was diA-
patched for kellogg, and Rsr then called
up two cases against Thomas A. Brady,
charging him with receiving money while

consideration Of increasing certain mail
service. # a
Mr.. Ker said bail had not been fur.
nished In these cases, aud asked for a pro.
cess to bring Brady into Court.
Judge Wylie replied that Mr.. Ksr could
have the process, and Court would make II
returnable tomorrow. @ &
Mr.. Wilson said Mr.. Kellogg would
waive the reading OF tho Indictment in his
case, and proposed to ale certain plea, in
abatement. ri ~ ~
Judge Wylie replied Mr.. Kellogg mus,
waive the reading Of the indictment in
person. ''is' y '-.s! 7"' '5' '''l'
Mr.. Kellogg soon appeared, and did thi.!
Mr. Wilson then presented his pleas.
One Of them attacks the construction OF the
Grand Jury that found the Indictment.
Another raises the point that orders of the
Court were disregarded by the failure TO re-
turn an Indictment corresponding with the
presentment The others complain Of Mr..
Ker's presence In the Grand Jury room,
and Of his participation in the delibera2
tions Of the Grand Jury. 9sg
Judge Wylie fixed Saturday next for
hearing the argument upon the pleas.

that the warrant ordered TO issue In that
case be Withdrawn, stating that General
Brady was already under 81, QUO bail In the
untried original Star route indictment
The Court said that bail was necessary in

sorrAwA, June 1s-A dispatch from
Winnipeg says that great indignation was
caused there by the refusal Of the Mimi;
terialists in the Legislature to support .
motion for committee to inquire into the
alleged deialcation Of over $4,000 by City
Registrar Kennedy, who Is also q director
in the Merchants Bank. According to
Law, registrars are required to make certain
returns to the Government which should
appear ii the public accounts The public
accounts for 1880, 1881 and 1882 do not
show anything as having been returned by
the Selkirk registrar, Colonel Kennedy.
The matter was brought up couple of
years ago, when the registrar gave q cheque
5000 which was not honored. Nothing
more was done in the matter until
notice Of motion was given on the
present occasion, when the 5000 was
paid, o. also an additional Sill
600. The registrar claims that the reason 9
settlement was not made was because he
had q contra account which the Govern
ment would notsettle. This contra account,
however, is one Of building vaults, station
cry, ETC., which, II correct, should be borne
by. the municipality, and moth the Gov.
eminent. The most suspicious feature is
that the Government has neglected all this
time to force settlement, although aware
oi the fact, and that the amount should be
paid Just the moment an inquiry was de-
manded. .,.5. ,.,,., q ....lI.i
Another curious transac.ion Is that b, :
tween Richardson, the slationer, and the

TnR Pittsburgh papers report several
sermons preached on the killing Of Dukes.
The Rev. A. NJ. Milligan, Of tho Eighth
Reformed Presbyterian Church, declared
that young Mutt struck a blow for the
honor Of every home in the land. Iike
John Brown at Harper's Ferry, he may
have violated human law, but he executed
divine Justice and struck at q monster evil
that thratens the direst results, and ]
doubt not that his act and the results will
prove link in the chain OF divine proyi-
dences comprehending the assassination Of
two Presidents which Is intended to lead
this nation into the knowledge ! and
acceptance Of great principles upon which
its life depends."
The Rev. &. R. Donehoo, Of the Eighth
Presbyterian church 1t was not necessary to
be too hasty about furnishing this youth
Rnt let the jury which set free the murderer
and traducer, and the society which made
all these things possible, let them be made
to answer. The Rev. Nevin Woodside, Of
the Fist Reformed Presbyterian Church,
said, "God forbid that we should encourage
hwiessuess, but this was not an ordinary
ease. This slayer can not be classed with
ordinary murderers.p Young Mutt, be
thought, was not more murderer than
Moses when he slew the Egyptian; and
buried his body in the sand, or Phineas
when he slew the man and woman who
brought the plague upon the children Of
Israel, or JSel when he drove the nail into
the temple Of Sisera, or the people Of Scot.
land when they killed Archbishop Shaw.
Here We Rave a strong indication Of tie
driil 0tpnblic opinion. Il Is not only
that 30 many clergymen are thinking In
this vain, Spoloeizing for and finding justi.
tl'ation for the deed; their congregations
receiveit aud in the main endeseit. There
can be no question that Dukes deserved a
worse tate-dcalh or the gallows. Every
body will admit that The world Is well rid
OF 50 bnEen monster. Nobody will want
to see young Mutt banged. But everybody
will agree that as often as men take ven
Seance into their own hands society d
wounded in vital part. II, however, We
ard 10 measure guilt by comparison and
with respect TO ita effect on society. the In,
