 hanged and then riddled with bull lets by mob, had been frightened to death, has found an imitator at Oxford, Ohio. Henry Corbin was hanged to tree there and was left all night. In the morning his body was cut down and taken to the mayors office. Squire Bridge ford held an inquest and declared that he died from pistol ball fred by his own hand. He had fired the ball into his head just before he was caught. ~sg
 English Minister Kennedy's &C., tion in Chile has been in pleasing contrast to that of Thompson, the correspondent of the London Times. The minister is reported as having made representations to his govern ment relative to Thompson, to the effect that he had endeavored to in fuence public feeling through the Times and local papers against Uni ted States Minister Egan relating to matters entirely foreign to the ques- tions at issue between the United States and Chile, and dragging into the controversy the British Minister and English government. There are strong and well-founded rumors that the Times will recall Thomp- son.
 From an itemized account of ex- penditures, in maintaining the Whit tier reform school of Los Angeles, as published in the Los Angeles Times, it appears that it cost more to re- form the average southern California hoodlum than the proverbial cost of converting a heather. Corkscrews costing as high as & each, cut glass whiskey bottles and glasses, wine nippers, and champagne sets, lemon squeezers and punch bowls, Colum bus carriages and ten passenger wagonettes appear among the list of articles which goes to show the oft repeated proverb that 'Californians never do anything by halves" and the efforts of this institution to re- form the toughs of Los Angeles, evi- dently did not stop with reforma- tion but it was intended to make 'gentlemen" of the hoodlums. The grand jury has taken up the matter and has undertaken to reform the re-
 formers in ckarge of it.
 The fellow who wrote the com
 munication in the morning Courier, over the nom de plume A. c. R., is either fool or knave, in saying that "Blaine was taken suddenly
 sick, and Harrison took advantage
 of his illness to demand from the state department all the correspond ence in reference to the Chilean em- broglio." Any citizen of ordinary intelligence and who is not engulfed with political poison and prejudice knows that all matters pertaining to international affairs are acted upon by the cabinet, and all the matters
 pertaining to Chile, have been for weeks past under consideration be- fore said cabinet, and are now un- der consideration before both branches Of congress. That the would-be sagacious political econo- mist simply exposes his ignorance ill thinking he can cause a people to accept the silly and contemptible statement thus made to prejudice the unwary.
 Our contemporary quotes the St. Johns Herald as saying "that a prominent attorney, recently from Apache county, has been writing a series of heavy editorials for the JoURNAL-MNER." The Herald was never known to come within mile of the truth in any reference it has had to make of the above attorney, and in making the above assertion is as far wide of the truth as usual. It refers to the editorials on the sub ject of Mormonism, and the attorney in question had no knowledge what ever that this paper intended taking up the subject until the articles ap- peared in print. We have still fur ther information and data to pub fish on this question which will ap pear in due time; and which the Herald will no doubt credit to the same source. The Herald does not attempt the defense of the Nor mons or to deny any statement which has appeared in the MINER, but according to its usual custom resorts to personal abuse of one who had nothing to do, not even in the way of suggesting the action taken by this paper, on the question.
 Our democratic friends seemed to be chafing under the apparent delay in settling the Chile question, and now that a decided stand has been taken by the administration the prolific pen of A. c. R. rattles of a direful diatribe against President Harrison and his administration. This cores pondent has been noted in all of his communications for the grossest mis- He makes asser- tions containing a small percentage of truth in such way that he per verts what little truth there is in them | In his latest communication, how ever, he crosses the dividing line be- tween misrepresentation and false hood by making false asser- ions. When a writer has to resort i % either such means or to personal abuse of political opponents his cause IS a very weak one and he makes It still weaker by resorting to
