"ILLEGALlTY Is BRED IN U.s."
So Says William O'Brien Before the
"Times Commission.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, May 90, 1SS9.-Mr. William
O'Brien resumed his testimony today be-
fore the Parnell Commission. He denied
that he had ever melted people to commit
outrages through his paper, United Ire-
land. The National League, he said, was
formed chiefly to oppose secret combina.
tfons of landlords made for the purpose OF
carrying out wholesale evictions and re-
placing the ousted tenants with
farmers from other counties.
The witness stated. that he had
belonged to the Executive Committee of
the League ever since the organization
was formed. He had never heard even a
suggestion to encourage outrage. Some
branches of the League had been sup
pressed owing to their use of strong
language and excessive boycotting. Mr..
O'Brien said that while in America he
had no connection with dynamiters. The
vast majority of the members composing
the convention held in America in 1885
were of the highest standing. At that
time Patrick Ford appeared sorry for his
previous attitude.
Cross examined, Mr.. O'Brien said that
he was unable to produce any record OF
the Leagues suppressing any of its
branches or protesting against boycott1ng.
The witness did not think boycotting un-
constitutional; it was simply Irish for
blackballing. He drew distinction be-
tween criminality and ilegality. The
Irish had an earnest and healthy repul-
sion of criminality. "As to illegality
meaning irreyerence for law as law" said
Mr.. O'Brien, ''illegality is bred in u.s."
The witness declared that it was inn
possible to say what was legal or what
was illegal in Ireland. Anything that
two resident magistrates said was law
was law. The League, he said, tended to
lessen the commission of outrages, butno
human power could prevent crime in such
a crisis as prevailed in 1879. The witness
admitted that United ireland had never
denounced secret societies, but he de-
clared that the League had weaned nine.
teen-twentieths of the people from secret
organizations

EDMONDSON WOULDN'T BE SEEN.
The Police Surgeons Fruitless Visit Il
the Sick Inspector.

The Police Surgeons Fruitless Visit to
the Sick Inspector.
In pursuance of resolution, passed by
the new Board of Police Commissioners,
at their meeting on Monday, Police Sur
geon Nevin accompanied by Drs. Henry
and Lochner, went to the residence of
Police Captain Thomas Edmondson last
evening, for the purpose of examining
him, as to his ability to do police duty.
They were met at the door by Mrs. Ed
mondson, who refused to let the physician
see her husband. She said that his family
physician would send a certificate to the
Board this afternoon saying that he had
ordered Mrs. Edmondson not to allow the
Police Surgeon or any one else to examine
her husband.
This morning the three physicians made
another attempt TO see Mr.. Edmondson,
but were again unsuccessful. They will
report the result of their efforts to the
Board at their meeting this afternoon,
and in all probability Captain Edmondson
will be retired by them.

The Jury Declare Her Guilty of the

CHICAGO, May %, 1sS9.-The jury in the
Carter divorce case came into Judge
Jamieson's court room and announced a
verdict to the effect that Mrs. Carter was
guilty as charged in the cross bill, and
that Leslie Carter was not guilty of the
charges preferred against him in his wife's
bill for divorce
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs Carter were present
in the court room when the verdict was
read. When the foreman announced the
verdict Lawyer Hynes' ruddy countenance
grew redder than ever, and he fell back

Loesch did not take any pains to concaal
his jubilation, and Leslie Carter's young
brother appeared to be the happiest man
in the court room, as he undoubtedly was.

THE town of Lincoln, Nebraska,
the capital of that state, supports
eighteen papers, besides several
monthly publications. Many of
these are dailies. Surely Salem
ought to support two. Stinginess
in taking your own papers is not a
nice trait. Men who spend from
twenty-five to fifty cents per day
for cigars actually are amazed if you
ask them to take three or four pa
pers. A business man who has
several customers will take one copy
of the JOURNAL and grunt at pay
ing fifteen cents per week, Ask
HIM to take three or four copies and
he looks amaZement. No wonder
Lincoln has forty thousand inhabi-
tants. Hastings, Neb., when it had
three thousand people sustained two
newspapers literally. 1t now has
thirteen thousand and its people are
proportionally liberal advertisers
and subscribers.

The Astoria Pioneer makes some
very sensible remarks against the
practice of using fish traps and
other destructive devices to catch
salmon. In early days this was
well enough, but as the country
settles we must sternly prohibit all
destructive modes of catching game
and fish. There is q class Of idle
people who are ever tor killing the
goose to get the egg-and that class
rapidly settles in the country.
