McKENNA'S CASE.

The st. Louis Republic thinks that
in nominating McKenna to the Supreme
bench the President has made a shame
full acknowledgment to the country that
the forces now dominent in the execu
tive department of the government are
now beyond his control. AS orr con-
temporary says, no more pitiable spec
tacle has been presented to the Ameri
furnished by President bound by ante
election pledges from which he is una
BILE to release himself. That McKenna
was honored with the office of Attorney
General at the behest of influences that
contributed heavily to the Mckinley
campaign fund and that have vast
schemes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT yet to con-
summate has been proven beyond reas-
enable doubt. But if any doubt still
l exists on this score an examination OF
his conduct in winding up the affairs of
the Union Pacific Railroad will destroy
it. His course from his connection with
this important matter adds deeper color
to the suspicion that clouds the public
mind concerning him and the influences
responsible for his official connection
with the administration. Popular clam
or saved the Government heavy loss in
the sac Of the main line of the Union
Pacific, which McKenna in his capacity
as Attorney General had agreed to sell
to coterie of railroad monopoiists at
sacrifice of millions Of the public
funds. Popular protest induced him to
| obtain postponement of the foreclo-
sure Of the Kansas Pacific branch Of
the system so that Congress might ex-
ercise it's privilege Of inquiring into a
transaction speckled all over with the
marks of corruption. And without pub
lie request, McKenna is now seeking to
| obtain still further postponement Of
this sale to a date that reaches beyond
the possibility Of endangering his con-
ures, either of incompetency or wrong
doing on his part, be developed by leg
islative inquiry.
But the objection to McKenna's ele-
walton to the bench are not confined to
widespread suspicion of selfish interests
that are responsible for his official rec
ognition. A large part Of the bench
and bar Of the Pacific Coast, where he
has spent nearly all his life, has lied
| with the President an earnest and pa
| triotic protest against his appointment.
This pptest Plainly points out his I'M
! fitness in point Of mental strength and
| equipment and broadly hints at a lack
OF the moyal balance and breadth OF
vieE which should be possessed BY an

Painful Experience of Mrs Woodruff and
Child in St. Louis.
ST. Louis, Mo-, December 19.-The
cockroaches which we're driven out OF
the Jail by the fumigating have over
run the houses in that neighborhood
and the residents are compelled to
sleep with cotton in their ears.
Mrs. Laura Woodruff was awakened
Sunday night by her little son Dennis,
who was screaming with a pain in his
head. He was taken to the dispens-
airy, where it was discovered that a
roach was buried in his ear. 1t was
removed and he returned home.
About daylight Mrs. Woodruff felt a
shooting pain in her left ear and used
every means to allay the pain, but
could get no relief. She then went to
the dispensary, where a roach was
also removed from her ear. She was
almost crazed with pain before i I
could be removed.
