William Riley, the s.xtoen-yoar-old boy, vino
killed his father and concealed the body in a
straw pile, Feb. ., was caught by Sheriff Mil
Ter, three miles east Of Adrian, and brought to
Adrian, MINI. His sister, aged thirteen, has
confessed, and says her brother had been
whipped by their father the previous night,
and he rose early tho following morning, and
shot his father through the head while he lay
asleep in bed; and they left him dead in
bed all thar day, until late
at night when they dragged the body by the
feet out doors and upon the st.aW pile, and Gov
cred it in a hole they had dug some two weeks
previous. The girl says further that the boy
has frequently prepared to Kill their father
with an AK, but She dIssu2dad hIA, and that he
recently mixed poison in q glass oil milk, which
his father drank, however, without injury.
Tho boy hid the bloody bed-clOt1ss under the
house after removing the body, Beg reportedto
the %neighbor5 that his father lad gone away
without saying anything about returning. Ill
ley was somewhat harsh with his family, but
considered uprightin his business transactions.
The coroner says no Ak had been used on tho
body.
-Four eares age Martin Siley came from Eng
land with his family, wife and three children,
and settled q few miles from Adrian. Three
years ago the wife died, and left Martin with a
boy, William, sixteen years old, aud two girls,
eleven and nine years of age. Sheriff AllleE
received word that Riley was missing since the
evening Of Feb. !, when he rode to his own
home with a %neishbor who saw him enter, tins
being the last seen o. him alive by any one out
side the household. After lie was missed the
boy, William, took the management of affairs,
and attracted attention by buying things m
Adrian, and attempting to trade young stock
with Senator Crosby, at his stock
farm; also, by contradictory sto-
ries as to the disappearance Of his
father. The sheriff and county attorney want
to Adrian, and to them the elder girl confessed
to the murder, as follows: Some two weeks
previous the deed had been resolved upon, and
a hole ten feet deep was cut dow into q straw
steak. After the father got home, on Feb. ls5
and while still in bedoa the morning o the2nd,
William shot him. He and the elder sister thea
stripped the body, tied the head in a grain sack
and draggedit to the straw stack, where they
tumbled it in, and there it remained Inc

worse, they viii expend neither money nor time

To say that any political committee cannot
lawfully mail to any or all the members of its
party circular on tho subject of raising
party fund or on any other matter, would be
to construo the civil service act TO be an act
of outlawry against all party organization,
including the Civil Service Reform associa-
tion, presided over by George William Curtis.
Against such travestio on common sense it
might bo reasonably expected that the repre-
sentatives of both parties would revolt, and
enact law which would make forced re.
fusals to contribute to a party fund as impos-
sible as forced contributions. Civil service
reform will not be promoted by efforts to turn
1t into political machine for the destruction
of other political parties. The people arc not
against party government, they arc only
against party abuses

THAT congress will enact some measure de-
signed through the principle of retaliation to
relieve our foreign commerce of such obsta'
cles as the prohibitory measures lately en-
forced by France and Germany against our
meat products is certain. Various measures
looking TO that end have been introduced
and will all be closely scanned. Whatever
measure is finally passed should be so
framed that it can, when necessary, be put
into speedy effect, and at the same time
by the incontestible justice of its operations
avoid giving offense. Perhaps the resolu-
ton introduced by Mr., Townshend yesterday
is rs good as anything that could be en-
acted. Under its provisions for instance, the
President could prohibit the importation
of French wines and brandies at
once, on the broad ground
that their adulteration renders
them injurious to health There is no ques'
tion as to the instant effect this would pro-
duce in bringing about an accommodation,
aud at the same time France could not object
