THE ADRIAN MURDER.
Further Details of the Coldblooded
Murder of a Father by his Children.
Especial telegram to the Globe.l

Special telegram TO the Globe.
WoRTHINGToN, Mimi, Feb. 15.-Willie
Riley, the murderer of his father on Feb 2,
near Adrian in this county, was brought in
and lodged in jail to-day by Sheriff Miller.
Mary Riley, his thirteen -year-old sister, was
also brought in and quarters are being fixed
up for her in jail. The boy is very small for
his age and it seems almost in
credible that children of the age
of these should be capable of planiug aud ex-
ecuting such a crime. The boy confesses that
he shot his father while III bed with bullet
prepared by himself, and made by taking
lead and hammering it into the proper shape
for his gun,which was doubled barrel shot
gun. He shot him through the head and he
died instantly. The body was allowed to re-
main in bed until after dark, when on at
tempting to remove it, the children could
not get it through the door, They then put
the body out through a window
and placed it on sled
and conveyed it to the strawstack where
the boy had previously dug hole in the
straw, into which they plunged the body
head first. No inquest was held as the coun-
ty attorney who was presentwhen the coroner
arrived advised against it as the children had
made confessions. The youngest child re-
mains at Adrian with the family of Mr. Rob-
erts. Count conyenes here on the 4th of
March when the case will be disposed Of

NOT INDEPENDENT.

The Disssminator, published at Har-
risburg, Processes to 10 independent and
non-partisan, but its course during the
campaign just closed seems TO indicate
that il llas concluded to come out un-
der its true colors and identify itself
with the Republican party. Nobody,
of course, denies the right of its editor
to run Republican newspaper. This
is one of those inslienablo rights grow
ing out of magma eharta wrung from an
unwilling king, JShn, of England.
But when a person publishes 6 paper
and leads people to believe that il Is an
independent paper and not partisan,
and people are thus induced 10 act upon
that profession and subscribe for, and
patronize such paper; thors is an i'm
piled contract between proprietor and
patron that such paper shall be con-
ductcd as a non partisan journal.
Newspaper men owe it TO themselves,
the profession, and the public, 70 act in
good faith. We arc led to these rehsc-
tons by the course of the Dissen,inatsr
towards w. W. Thayer,tte Democratic
candidate for Supreme Judge. Under
date Of May "a, it admitted to it's col
umns q correspondence making bitter,
malicious and slaudcrous attack upon
w. w. ThAyer. Under date Of May
3lst it published a reply by some CORE
sponden,, who in n plain war, and
without making any attack whatever
upon Mr.. Finn, refuted every SANDER
brought against w. w. Tbayer. Now
this defense was dated Harrisburg,
May o." But in tho same issue Of
May 81, it publishes = correspondence
from the same slanderer who made the
attack upon Gov. Thayer, which corre-
Ependence is dated "May &C." and
whose writer attempts to reply to the
defense of Thayer, dated May 81.
Every allegation in the defense Of
Thayer made under date Of "May q"
was referred to in the reply that was
dated one day previous, that is "Msy
&C." Now the Question naturally
arises, how did the writer Of the article
dated "May &c" know how to answer
an article dated "May 81" We leave
our readers to conclude how this matter
assumed this shape, and We leave the
DisseminatOr to defend against and
answer the criticisms brought against it
by many Of Its readers.

telligence of her people, with genius
and all modern improvements, backed
by energy, can compete with the world,
and whoever donies it makes u coward

DR.. York, the republican nominee for
governor of North Carolina is a model
politician. He rode q mule all over
his congressional district two years ago,
and posed as the poor mans friend. He
told them in a speech in Ashe county,
that if it were not for protective tariff
mules would be brought into that region
and sold at SIS per head. In the low
er counties he told "the poor laborins
people that but for a protective tariff this
country would be flooded with foreign
cotton and the price of this staple here
would be run down below the cost of
protection.

The Democracy of Linn
Still True to their Col
Ors. The Whole COun-
ty Ticket Elected
Except Clerk.

Once more the Democrats of Linn
have gained brilliant victory. John
Myers leads off with the handsome
majority of 357. We are specially
proud of this as we made special ap-
peals to farmers and laboring men to
stand In with their true friend, and
this majority shows that these appeals
were not made in vain. While the
people in the state have seen fit to
elect Mr.. Hermann we feel sure that
before his term OF office has expired
our predictions with reference to his
course in congress will be fully veri-
fed.
Governor Thayer has 294 majority
over Judge Finn.
Mr.. Weatherford lays his opponent
in the shade to the tune Of AS ma
jority. The people have done we'll
ia this, but we must confess our sur
prise that there should be so many
voters in Linn county who would
vote for q man who could not satisfy
the public as to which side he took
on any Issues OF the day. In another
column will be found fuller returns.
The official majority on the legisla-
tive ticket is about 275, which places
the party on a stronger basis than ii
has been for many years. Good for
old Linn.

Why this panic? Has the tariff been
reduced one cent recently? Wasn't it
only the other day that the Protection
lists won famous victory in Congress
and saved the "business interests" from

is this the way the business interests
show their gratitude? Indeed, they
couldn't have behaved much worse if
they had been deprived of every dollar
of subsidy which they enjoy through the
tariff.
