The Luetgert Case.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Judge Tuthill,
States Attorney Deneen, Assistant
Attorney McEwen, ex Judge Vincent
and Attorney Phalen had an informal
conference lasting over one hour in the
judges private chamber to day. Luet-
CERT was brought into court and the re-
port went abroad that formal motion
| to admit him to bail would Immediately
follow the conference. When the con-
ference was over Luetgert was taken
back to jail.
No agreement was reached at the
conference. States Attorney Deneen
vigorously opposed the demand that
The prisoner be released on bail, and
tue upshot of the argument was that no
formal demand for the prisoners ad-
mission to bail was made.
Judge Vincent said he would let the
matter rest for two or three days and
then make formal application. It was
intimated that if the formal demand
was denied a writ of habess corpus
would be applied for. If this acton is
laken States Attorney Deneen says be
will at once put the Luetgert case on
the calendar for trial and it is among
the probabilities that the big sausage
maker may again be on trial for his lie
by the middle of next week.
Speaking of the prospects of new
trial, Judge Tuthill said IL fancy
Luetgert will never again be tried in a
court id this county. I hardly think
that the prosecution can find twelve
men who have not already tried the
accused in their own minds. Luetgert
will 60 free"
George Middleton, the dime museum
manager, was at the criminal court
building when the application was
made, prepared to go on the sausage
makers bond in any sum should Judge
Tuthill act fayorably upon the applica.
ton. Should Luetgert be released
pending another trial he will probably
sign the contract which Middleton has
already prepared giving Luetgert a
salary of $500 week for his appearance
in museum for an indefinite period.
Luetgert denied himself to visitors at
the Jail with the exception of two of his
old time country neighbors who drove
into town to see him.

DIR. BLACKBOARD of the State insane

present system by which patients are
sent to that asylum, more reasonable
one be adopted. that by which one
reputable, responsible and competent
man, instead of three magistrates who
know as much about minds diseased as
they do about the solar plexus, examine
the patient and certify to his condition.

THAT THE republican high tariff
doesn't rebound to the interest of the
farmers of this country has been proved
in many different ways, the most recent
being the introduction of q resolution
in the Bavarian Diet yesterday, for the
imposition of high rate of duty upon
all cereals. AS most of the cereals ex
ported from the United States are pro-
duced in the Northwest, and as all the
States in that section gave large MAORI
ties for the republican ticket last year,
this is another case of chickens coming
home to roost.

AT A RECENT meeting of the Grand
Camp of Virginia Confederate Veterans
at Richmond, the question of the sub
stitution of the flag of Virginia for the
u. S. flag on the public school houses
in this State was under discussion.
The best solution of that question
would be to let the school houses be
without any flag. AS Virginia sup
ports the schools, hers is the flag that
should fly over them, if there be any
at all; but there should be none. Pa
triotism cannot be produced by the
constant sight Of flags, and the attempt
to do so is as vain as it is ridiculous.
