THOUGHT HE WAS A WITCH.

Joseph Heidi Pleaded Guilty to the
Charge of Killing His Uncle.
MONTICELLO, N. Y, Aug. l9-Joseph
Heidi was found guilty of murder in the
second degree for killing George Markert,
his uncle, at Calicoon last January
The defendant pleaded guilty, but claimed
the act was done in self defense. The muir
der grew out Of the superstition Of the
Heidi family that MarlSert practiced the
"black art,' which brought disaster TO
them; their cows had died and bad luck
had attended them Markert was held re-
sponsible and was asked to remove the
spell. Because MarlSert disclaimed any
wizard power, words led to blows and the
death Of Markert at the hands Of Joseph.

The Spendthrift Senate.

The Republican Senate is Illustrating its
usual tendency. even at this oarly period in
the session. On Tuesday it passed eleven
public building bills. with appropriations
amounting to $l.25O.OOo. Among the places
which the Senate wishes to adorn with
monuments Of architecture arc those giant
MINI. Norfolk. Neb.. and Mammoth Hot
Springs. 1t was a great day for Nebraska.
That Nebraskan metropolis. Norfolk. drew
$25o.ooo. That other Nebraskan metropolis.
Hastings. drew another s25oOoo.
On Wednesday the programme Of extrav-
agance was repeated. The Senate passed
eight public building bills with appro-
priatlons Of sl.O25.oOo. For public building
In the Dalles. Oregon. 100000 was given.
In reply to Mr.. McPHERsoN's objection Mr..
MITCHELL adduced the unanswerable argu-
ment that there was one county in Oregon
which grew more wheat than the Senator
from New Jersey had ever seen. Mr.. No
PETERSON called attention to the fact that.
according to the census OF 1890. the Dalles
had q population Of less than one thousand.
Mr.. MITCHELL thought that the population
was about 400. Why town with 400
population should have a 100000 public
building he did not explain. 1t Is one OF
the things that can't be explained. The
bill was passed by thirty-fve to twelve.
Mr.. HOLMAN and his associates in the
House must stand in the way Of these bills.
The way to be economical is to be econom-
zeal. The Senate insists on being spend
thrift. The greater the honor to the House
II 1t saves the peoples money.

ness to cede to the Pope in full sovereignty
the smallest fraction Of tho national terri
tory. these italian democrats would deem
the bond OF their allegiance ruptured. and
they would stir up rebellion throughout
the peninsula. an twenty-one years
there has not been one italian Minister
who has not repudlatcd tho idea Of
making such a sacrifice under any circum-
stances. It Is. OF course. possible that II
LEO XIII should lift the interdct imposed
by Prus TX. and permit italian Catholics to
vote in parliamentary elections. Minis
try ready to make terms with the Vatican
might command majority in the legisla-
ture. But this is to argue In a circle. for
the suspension Of the interdict In question
would involve the very recognition OF tho
legitimacy OF the existing civil power In
Italy. which. rs the Pope holds. should not
precede but follow the offer Of acceptable
concessions TO the Papacy.
The Vatican question is still open. as
Count KALSoKY incautiously admitted. and
we can scarcely expect to see 1t closed so
long as tho Triple Alliance remains I'M
broken. So long as Italy is strong she will
not submit to the minimum demands put
forward by the Papacy. But should the
Triple Alliance be shattered. and Italy be
confronted with the risk OF disruption and
Acknowledgement, she might reluctantly
agree to relnstate tho Pope in q portion Of
his patrimony.

Tho Preparations for War.

We believe that the work OF the Navy De-
partment and Of the War Department dur
ing the past six weeks Is a marvel OF ad.
rninistrative energy and patriotic Wig
ilance. Some OF our readers. perhaps.
but certainly not all. have an idea Of what
has been accomplished.
And yet 1t is this very activity. not in
viting q conflict. but following the first
principles Of national prudence and the or
binary laws Of common sense. which fur
nishes the chief ground Of the Mugwump
attack on men who are doing their duty.
Consider two propositions:
II war is averted and the Government Of
Chill makes proper reparation for the VAL
paraiso outrage. 1t will be for no other
reason than because we were ready.
II war came. and in spite Of the warning
events Of the past three months this coun-
try were not prepared to tho best OF Its
ability for the conflict. tho men whom tho
non-Americans are now criticisng for doing
their duty would deserve to be impeached.
They would deserve to be hanged.
Go ahead. servants OF the peoplei You
are right. your work counts for peace. and
the country Is with you.

AGAINST RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE
Some OF the Harvard Faculty object to the

CAMBRIDGE. Jan. 21.-The Harvard Crtruon
to-day publishes an account Of a futile effort
to suppress the third Dudley lecture. which,
according to the will. must have to do with
Exposing tho idolatry Of the Romish Church,
its tyranny. usurpation. damnable baseness,
fatal errors. nboninablc superstitions. and
other crying Warehouses; in their high
places" Last May flfty-eight members OF tho
Harvard faculty sent letter to the President
and fellows protesting against the sectarian
character Of such lecture. and asking to have
this one omitted. as being indecent and unjust.
The petitioners thought it would be better to
surrender the trust rather than continue such
an offensive attack on Catholicism. The mat

An esteemed correspondent desires THH
SuN's opinion on the following questions.
which We answer In their order:
l. In view Of all the facts - now known by the
Cnited states Government could the latter with dig
nifty propose arbitration
>. II Chill proposed arbitration shou,d the United
States accept for ali the questions at ISSUE demand
an apology or expression Of regret from Chill and allow
the money question to be nrbitratedt
D. Would q proposition from Chill to arbitrate
whether she was express regret for the filling Of the
cned states sailors be sensible. would II be piece
OF imbeciity.
Are the papers which say that We should not 60
to war with Ch because she would get the worst Of
the struggle. Influenced by the Gillian agenta or 10 IL
. lack OF patriotism. or pure cusscdness.
e. Why is the sscredness Of English and American
citizenship compared with such disparity to the latter
l. It could not.
2. Arbitration. II asked for BY Chill. might be
accepted for oil the questions in controversy.
3. Such proposition would be insulting.
4. They are irrational cranks. which we sup
pose is what our correspondent means by pure
cussedness.
5. Because England always protects her cit-
zens in foreign countries: and Il appears to be
thought doubtful In some quarters whether
the United States will do as much or not.
