A MURDERER's FATE.
Neal NIcKeague Shot Dead by Chu chs
Ferry, Oak, Saloon-Keepsr.

Ferry. OAK, Saloon-keeper.
CHICAGO, January 10. IA dispatch from
Church's Ferry, Oak, says Neal Mckeague,
well known in Chicago, WAS shot and in
siantly killed, last night, by f. A. Hitler
man, ssloon.keeper, in quarrel. Nc
Keseue bad bad name since his arrival
here.
Neal McKeague's history In the criminal
annals Of Chicago will be very we'll re.
membered. The morning Of "Wednesday,
February Is. 1854, Mr.. aud Mrs. Wilson,
an aged and we'll off couple, living in
Winnettks, were found murdered in their
home. McKesgue WIS a butcher doing
business in the little town, and when Miss
Emma Dryer, a frequent visitor at the
Wilson's, alarmed the neighbours by an
nounoing that she had been unable TO gain
sdmiitspce to the house and, peering in
through the blinds, mad seen old man
Wilson lying on the floor, Mex sague vas
among the first 10 respond. The old man
had been shot and his invalid vile had
been shockingly beaten 10 death with pair
of fire-tongs, while asleep in her bed. Rob-
berry vas apparently the object OF the at
tack, bat money was scattered so prOfusely
over the house that the murderer secured
only small portion OF il. In a few days
McKesRue was suspected and finally ar
rested. Circumstances we're strongly against
him, and although he was finally scquit-
ted OF the crime after an exciting trial in
the Criminal Court, he was by no means
fully acquitted in the public mind.
Z The feeling against him in Wiunettka
was so strong that he sold out at once aud
went to Thorold, Ont, the home OF his
parents. The facts sdducsd at the trial
showed that he was not the honest butcher
he appeared, and it was not long after his
return to Thorold that he was implicated
in number OF disreputable affairs. The
mystery surrounding the Winnettka muir
der has never been solved, and most OF those
familiar with all the details will think il
never will be solved, now that. McKeague is
| dead.

to receive colored people. they do
it as kindly as possible, so as not
to hurt their feeling and also to
keep out Of law suits. The gen.
eral plan is to say that their rooms
are all occupied, or put a prohibi
tive price on everything a colore
man asks for. 1t must be said,
however, that cclored people in
New York as rule do not seek
the hotpitalities ofthe large hotels,
bGt are content to patronize the
places devoted to their exclusive
benefit. Whether they will ever
demand that the Litter of the

as it ever was there cant OF be the

THE DAILY BEE.

The time is not far distant when
the public shall have the benefit of
a daily paper edited by colored
men. There is an absolute need of
it now more than at any other time.
The straddling policy of the Posi-
and the emerging of the REPUBLI
CAN into that paper leaves a place
for the daily BEE. The business of
society, the numerous notices and
necessary communicationS, special
race interest, and local dignity de-
mand it. We only need subscrib-
ers. As TO the policy of the BEE,
its tone and tendency, no comment
is needed. Ii Is fearless and bold.
With the interest of the community
1t stake, it has labored TO uncover
deceit and hypocrisy. 1t has ever
held dagger ready to pierce the
selfish egotist and the bighead.
Personal attacks not even have
been avoided when virtue has been
disrobed. Such a paper can live.

CARSON TOOK THE TICKETS
A FOOL TRICK.

He who deprives another of his
property with wilful intent to his
prejudice is a thief. The District
delegates had right to the tickets
Of admission from the National
Committee to the Chicago eOnven-
tiOn. Carson being a member of
that committee took not only his
rightful due of tickets but those
belonging to others.
If a c0ntesting member were not
allowed on the floor of the congress
it would be fool procedure for d
square deal. The fight grew out
OF the request for the tickets.
Carson's arrest grew out of the
fight. If the citizens of the Dis
trict sustain C4rson'5 action they
do themselves no credit.

self, and the probabilities are that
she does, it looks badly for manly
action on the part of the persons
mentioned. It is blow planted
with Sullivan power squareIy
between the two eyes. Teachers
should govern their schools; but as
a rule they are SO cramped by un-
necessary restriction and unreason-
able laws, that they are fearful
ever to exercise the slightest
authority. A teacher needs free

management as exists at present
little else is to be ACCOMPLISHED.

RETRIBUTION IS STEPPING
ON CARSC Ms HEELS.

Carson struck Chase a heavy
blow with his fist in the office OF
the Grand Pacific Hotel. He
drew blood. 1t is a cowardIy
attack to strike mau In a CONVEX
sation with you. Chase least ex-
pected a blow. Carson struck him
because he knew that in such a
prominent place crowded with
men, interference would prevent a
counter attack. 1t was rather a
sharp trick but currlshly worked.
The crowd prevented Chase
from instantly wreaking revenge.
Chase quickly yielded to persua-
sion He did not wish either to
imperil the interests of those
whom he represented Or bring
personal disgrace upon his family.
1t would have served Carson
justly had Chase imprisoned him
and prohibited him from an ap
pearance before the committee on
credentials. 1t could have been
so arranged that even bail cpul d
not reach him. Carson was not
privileged from arrest. He was
a bogus representative. But
Chase like a square man refrained
instantly from an affray allowed
an offender Of peace liberty in
order that the representation
might be fairly tested. 1t was
not a surprise that Carson should
exhibit fsticuffy ability for ne has
large resources in that direction
only. The place and the occasion
might have restrained him. The
act done must be atoned for. No
man can strike Chase with inn
punity. Carson is not better
man. He is older aud not as
strong. His hams are getting
weak now. Constant attendance
on his bar, constant whiskey
drinking, constant reveIlings have
deprived him of his once manly
vlgor. Knowing his weakness
and Chase's great physical strength
being a yonng man and powerfully
built, being inspired by Chicago
whiskey Carson forgot. Carson
would never have raised his finger
In an open space. Had he dared

THE CONVENTION.

We 60 to press. Eagerly we
have watched for some decisive per
manent step to be taken by the con-
vention. Every thing is vascilating
and unsettled. No man can now
presage with absolute certainty
who will be the nominee. The veil
of the future still covers in its thick
folds the slbyPs prophecy. No man
in the convention is settled. The
ghost of four years ago reappear.
1t might seize with CONSERVATION
the whole assembly. All the presi-
Dental candidates have been to the
bat and made pop flies which were
quickly gobbed up by the infeld.
A few sharp grOunderS fill the
bases. They are now in the ninth
inning. The bases are crowded.
Some man must knock long fly.
The out fielders are playing deep.
Who will it be. Will it be the
young blood fresh upen the ground,
phenomena's and mascotte or the
old horses of forty years popularity?
Possibly the ten thousand dollar
beauty whom all dread may get a
hit. He may put the ball over the
fence or he may strike out. He is
on deck. Whether he shall come
to the bat before the side is out
we can not say. What ever may
be the result, We can only hope
that the best interests of our peo-
pie may be preserved. That the
man may be a strong man with a
vigorous policy and a clean record

BLAINE'S MANAGERS COR
RUPTION.
Chicago, H., June 21, 'SS

Chicago, H., June 21, 'SS.
Special to the BEE.
The most diab0lical treacherv
ever perpetrated is on the part of
the Blaine managers against Sena-
tor Sherman. VIM. Walter Phelps
is the dark horse candidate and his
managers are not even true to
Blaine, who is a candidate. The
Blaine men are making a personal
fight against Mr.. Sherman and if
he (Sherman) is not nominated, it
will be On account OF the field com.
bining against him. The Phelps
managers are buying tickets by the
Wholesale; they offered SIS for sew
Ell tickets to-day. The seller refus-
ed to Sell them for that price. If
Blaine is nominated it will be by
fraud and corruption. The Blaine
men are making mean and per-
sonal fight against Senator Sher-
man and when it is exposed, one
can judge the character of Blaine.
The Washington bee., 1888-06-23

The nominations being settled
the question now is whether we
shall sustain manly dignity in la.
Dor or submit to serf conditions.
the inevitable consequences of free
trade; whether we shall pre fer pop
ular education or debasing litter
acy; whether we shall comple-
meut lynchers and extend to them
the hand Of welcome or arraign
them for prosecution; whether We
shall enroll and be counted in or
vote and be counted out. 1t is
with the people to decide.
AS to the question of labor, no
where is there a better general con-
dition. Every body wants to come
here. Beneath this universal
want lies the secret of our pros
perity. We pay fair wages. If
protection means that We should
depend upon ourselves for all pro
ducts of life, and we can raise
everything from a pine tree to a
silk thread, it is not asking too
much from an honest citizen to
throw his influence on the side
of protection. To support our
selves we must adopt such means
as will visibly secure US from ex-
ternal failures and imbrasion.
Suppose there is war in the coffee
region or sugar territory, and tn. Sc
places under a free trade policy
have an exclusive sale in our
markets. Any man can see that
we can not have coffee and sugar
while the foreigners are fighting.
But under the protection system
where we can cultivate our own
coffee and sugar, even if we do
have to pay a quarter of cent per
ID. more, it Is better to be sure of a
continual supply. We want edu.
whether we will have it or
not, at least the better classes of
people desire 1t. Ignorance is
sought for in some places because
it Is easily controlled. An honest
man will vote for education.

FALSE ECONOMY.

Police officers were appointed
for public protection aud to look
cut for the general safety of the
community. At present they are
engaged in doing another and a
different work, soliciting the CEN
sus of 81. 1t you subtract the
sum of the number thus employe !
plus the number at the courts as
witnesses, plus the number of
officers off duty from the whole
number there will remain possibly
enough to arrest couple of loud
and boisterous drunkards. Police
are made to do little of all kinds
of duty. Tney serve at public
receptions. THIS is clearly an i'm
position. Why do the commits.
sioners not call for the idle soldiers
at the arsenal to do this kind of
work, if these rich people must be
guarded at the public expense?
But this census business could be
done by hiring citizens at 50. per.
day and leave the officers TO per-
form their rightful duty. 1t is all
done in the name of economy. 1t
is dangerous procedure no matter
on what ground it is based. The
police will be cleaning streets
next.
