A second trial of Oscar Meyer, for the
murder of III Krause ON Lake Champlain in
January, 1884, ended at St. Adams with a
verdict of murder in the second degree, and
the prisoner was sentenced by Judge
Royce to imprisonment at hard labor for
life. Meyer was convicted in September
1885, of murder in the first degree, but the
supreme court sent the case back by reason
of a defect in juryman's qualifications,
and the neglect of the Judge TO charge with
discrimination concerning what constituted
murder in the second degree, The plea
made in the present trial was Unsuitable
homicide.

Mr.. Mckenzie and auinine.

A few days ago paragraph APP
pcared in The Times in which alln-
sion was made TO the Hon. Jas. A.
McKenzie's connection with the bill
that placed qulnine on the free list,
and in which we unintentionally did
that gentleman an injustice. The
truth of the matter is that Mr.. Nc
Kenzie introduced the bill in the
Forly-sixth Congress. 1t was referred
TO the Ways and Means Committee,
by whom it was reported back and
placed on the calendar during the
first session. By rule Of the House
any member who could obtain the
floor during the last six days of the
session had the privilege of moving
10 suspend the rules and pass any bill
that hc might designate. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie asked the Speaker TO recog-
nize him for that purpose, but it ap-
pears that the name Of Mr.. Covert, of
New York, was down for the favor
ahead of Mr.. McKcnzie's and, not
wiIhstanding the member from New
York joined Mr.. Mckenzie in the re-
quest, the Speaker refused to comply
with it. Near the closing hour Mr.
Reagan, Of Texas, the Chairman of
the Committee OH Commerce, was
recognized to move to suspend the
rules, and at the personal request of
Mr. Mckenzie he yielded the floor to
Mr.. Covert, who moved TO suspend
the rules and pass the Mckenzie bill.
The question was not debatable and
no remarks were made, but the mo-
tion prevailed, was cOncurrcd in by
the Senate, the bill was signed by the
President, and thus it became a law.
Afterward Pig iron Kelley intro
duced d bill 10 place tariff tax of
ten percenlum on quinne, aud it was
upon that bill that Mr.. Mckenzie
made his famous speech against a
tax on quininc and in opposition TO
protection 70" malaria, This is a true
statement of the case. The Times is
no mans organ it cars the field of 10
one except its editors but it would
scorn TO do an injustice TO any man.
Mr., Mckenzie is entitled to the graf
itude Of the American people oil ac-
count of the quinine bill, and the at
tempt to deprive him of that credit
ought to be frownod down. lie is
about the only Congressman since
tho war who has given The tariff a
black eye, and, as we before remark
ed, he must be beaten on some other
issue. Upon quinine he is solid.-
