The world is we'll rid of the wretches
Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling,
who murdered Pearl Bryan near New
port, KY, a year ago February 1t
was a cold, deliberate murder, such a
one as makes a mans blood almost
freeze as he reads about it. Not only
was the girl murdered, but she was de-
capitated. So far as the fate of Jack
son and Walling is concerned. the re-
gretable thing is that the penalty of
the law was not executed upon them
at much earlier date than it was
They lived for a year and a month and
a half after the headless body of their
victim was found. This is not as it
should be. While these fiends were in
Jail, soon after their incarceration,
they were allowed to hold leyees and
were made heroes of; and one Sunday
they were permitted TO hold a recep
ton, to which people for miles around
Cincinnati came. Per Sc, it was more
disgraceful thing than lynching
where a murderer is caught red-hand
ed, for it apparently exalted crime and
put a social premium upon the authors
of it. But this twain will never hold
reception again.

M'KEE SCRIP.

So much is being said about Mckee
scrip in connection with the Lameraux
case and the attempt to acquire title
where the palatial homes of such men
as Potter Palmer, Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, n. x. Fairbank, Robert
T. Lincoln and others are located, that
history of it is of much interest at
the present time. A leading Chicago
attorney gives it's history to the New
York Mail and Express. 1t is as fol-
lows:
L have been familiar in a profess
sional way with the Mckee scrip i'm
broglio for IL or Is years. It is of as
far-reaching interest and Importance
in Chicago as the claiming of 20
blocks on Riverside drive would be in
New York, if the claim was made by
persons with a view of disposseSsing
the present owners OF the valuable
property along your beautiful river
drive. The land to which the three
principal contestants, La Toilette, Ben
ner and Sayre, lay claim is now
owned by a number of the most prom
inent citizens in Chicago, who bought
the property with the assurance and
guarantee of a clear title. 1t is only
within the last two years that the at
tack has assumed a really serious
character. The matter has been be-
fore the courts of Cook county for
quarter of a century, and l have no
doubt the docketS will still be burdened
with it long after you and L are dead
and buried
John Mckee was a Kentuckian, who
organized, at his own expense, a COM
pany of men to go to the Mexican
war. He proved to be a gallant
fighter, and at the battle of Paio Alto
he was shot through the heart. He left
TO his family nothing but his memory
and a claim against the government
for the expenditure he had made in
equipping the company of Kentucky
rangers. This claim was presented by
three Kentucky senators in succession,
and in 1853 congress passed a law au
thorizing the issuing of scrip to the
Mckee heirs equivalent in amount to
the money expended by their patriotic
ancestor. There was a peculiar pro-
vision in the act. 1t authorized the
holders of the scrip to locate upon sur
veyed or unsurveyed government land,
occupied or unoccupied, and it was
provided that the selection of location
was to be made by the president Of the
United States No president was ever
called upon to do this, and the scrip
L
heirs until 1889.
Senator Blackburn, who had known
the family for many years, introduced
an amendatory act in that year which |
took from the president the power of |
locating the scrip and placed it in the !
hands of the Mckee heirs. 1t is prob i
able that the members of congress who
voted for the measure did not fully |
realize the power it conferred. At all |
events they passed it unanimously in !
both houses, and President Cleveland |
made it operative with his signature. |
The heirs disposed of the scrip. and the |
Immediately set about find |
ing land on which to file it.
From this it will be seen what an |
advantage over everybody the possess
sors of Mckee scrip have in the matter |
Of locating lands. They have an adj
over Uncompahgre 'sooners''
even when their locations are made by |
a salaried officer of the state.

and steel manufacturers, Surely the
world moves. And how much it has
moved in the Keystone state since the
Harrisburg convention, The Pennsyl-
vania makers of steel and iron want
free iron ore because they cannot COM
pete against the western makers who
have the Superior ores. The tariff
policy Of the government has been die
tated by small part Of the country
while the interests of a continent have
been sacrificed. If the center of the
iron and steel industry has moved
westward it is but natural that that
center should want to shut out COM
petition from Pennsylvania as we'll as
from foreign countries. To those who
hold the American market through the
grace of protection, American COMPETE
ton is just as obnoxious as European
competition.
If the Pennsylvania makers of iron
and steel are now complaining of the
whirlwind of protection in the west
they must remember that it was they
who sowed the wind.
