The jury in the trial of young Win.
Michael, charged with the murder of
Francis Phillips, brought in a verdict
of manslaughter. Sentence has not
been pronounced at this writing.
Taken altogether the verdict of the
jury is ahout the rignt one. l lie boy
was, evidently, born with an unbal
anced intellect and a stunted moral
nature, and has but little idea of right
or wrong. iTe, of course, is ' not al
together to blame for his condition,
and his ease is one that calls for tho
particular attention of our law makers
and philanthropists. Jfo needs re
straint and proper teaching so that
tho destructive and murderous in
stincts, which are natural with him,
may bo subdued if possible. If this
cannot be done, other victims will fall
by his hand and the little sense that
he is possessed of will not save him
from tho gallows.

Tho Methodist Episcopal conference
for this district opened its sixth annual
session at La Grande last week. Wo
have been unable to get a report of
tho proceedings. There seems to bo
some dissention among tho ministers
prevent, some of whom havo preferred
charges against 'each other. Brother
Irwin was tried on coveral serious
charges, but with what result wo havo
not learned. Tho Journal says :
"Among oilier interc.-ting subjects
to come up will bo charges anil coun
ter charges made among tho brethren
themselves, tho substance of which is
sufficient to lead tho wordly man to
believe that there is guile in tho ranks
of tho godly as well as tho ungodly.
Fortunately there are no racy newspa
per men to paint the pictures that
might be drawn at the examinations
and expose their crude work every
morning to an unsyni)athi.ing public.
La Grande is yet a small town, there
fore most of tho deliberations of tho
body will bo lost in obscurity."
