John Pernicious Altgeld once more comes to the front wth a declaration which has it that there are no anarchists in Chicago; no, not one. To the possessors | of common sense the affirmation of the/ small-bore governor of Illinois is an an- Boyance that either makes them wonder | why the iteration or confirms their quite general opinion as to the mental weakness | of the ranting and ill-balanced successor to many great men. But there are other peo- ple, sensible, but not given to practically | applying their powers of judgment, who will probably accept the Altgeld statement as truth, and who may even go to the Alt- geldian extreme of insisting that there never was an anarchist in Cook County. What are the facts? Webster says that an e@narchist is “one who excites revolt or pro- | motes disorder in a state.” Has John P. Altgeld become a lexicographer of greater | ability than Webster, and has he provided | us with a better definition of the word? No; | he merely gives us the parrot-like repeti- | who has given this important subject con- | sideration, is an advocate of the county road idea, because, he says, he cannot conscien- tiously advocate national construction and is apprehensive of some sort of danger should the state undertake to join the coun- ty seats and the state capital by improved highways. He is endeavoring to have all the counties interest themselves in the plan and will, doubtless, succeed as to many, but there are some that will surely be either careless or obstinate and as a result there may be weakness just where there should be strength. Of course, county construction is much better than no construction at all, but if the people of Maryland are wise they will insist upon the state legislature treat- ing the matter broadly and after a compre- hensive and liberal fashion. With its princi- pal highways in such condition as are the main roads in European countries, Mary- land would soon be one of the richest and most progressive states in all the Union. ——__ +e —___ White workingmen in Florida are very much afraid that unemployed labor from the | Rorth will move southward as cold weather comes on and thus complicate conditions that are now far from satisfactory. In a circular sent out from Jacksonville there is discouragement enough to keep away every | toller who may have planned an excursion | to the land of flowers. After calling at- tention to the fact that there are but eight towns in the state with a population ex- ceeding 1,000, while the largest of them has | but 17,000, the circular proceeds to say that “as the winter approaches, vast numbers of mechanics, laborers, &c., in the northeast and west are getting ready for a trip south. Year after year the same miserable farce is enacted. Thousands of men come flocking to a place where the home labor is starving for want of work, and by Christmas time we find hundreds of men begging a job for their board, or if they are fortunate in hay- | ing a fine kit of tools they possibly raise tion, “There are no anarchists in Chicago, | ? : : no anarchists in Chicago.”" What then were | T0™ five to ten dollars on an entire kit to the men who wer: convicted of murderous | get out of the state.

A in the work of so-called industrial reform? cats duceae Petcsrencs a = ~ a What name stz!I be applied to those who hein counseled the manufacture of bombs, who ; made the infernc! affairs, and who threw the one in the Haymarket that killed seven policemen, and wounded sixty other rep- resentatives of law and order? What other title than that of anarchist befits those who organized themselves into “groups,” and therein conspired to destroy existing social conditions by rebellion and revolu- tion? For some time prior to the outbreak in May, 1836, hundreds of residents In Chi- cago had publicly and frequently an- mounced themselves as anarchists, gloried | in the name and plotted for the coming of the time when their assassinatory doctrines should prevail. Readers of the Arbeiter Zeitung—the organ of Illinois anarchy— know how earnestly was murder advocated in Its-columns. The methods by which dy- namite, nitro-glycerine, guncotton, fulmi- nating mercury, bombs and fuse could be made and used were openly discussed until men were prompted to the devilish manu- facture and finally the fiendish use. For awhile after the execution of the ringlead- ers, anarchy was so discreditable and so | dangerous that the cowards who had long Preached defiance of law were silent, but in the course of years and through political exigency, John P. Altgeld became governor of the state. Many millions of Americans knew nothing of Altgeld when he was elect- ed, and they might still have been ignorant as to his existence had he not pardoned Fielden, Neebe and Schwab, the three sur- viving murderers who were tried with Spies, Parsons, Engel, Lingg, and Fischer. Since that shameful misuse of the guber- matorial pardoning power Altgeld has been notorious, and anarchy triumphant. It is but a day or two since the released convicts Joined with hundreds in Chicago who pride themselves on being anarchists in celebrat- ing mournfully the execution of their breth- ren, who had the misfortune to be hanged. ‘The fed flag was waved, and there were | ™many covert references to the dawning of the day when crimson bunting shall be the Popular decoration, when statutes will be resolved into powerless words, and vice be flauntingly triumphant. The orators and those who applauded them claim close relationship with the anarchists of Europe, who, on the same day, celebrat- ed the lawful deed that rid Chicago of some of its. most conspicuous criminals. And that there are no anarchists in Chicago! —_—re+o—____. In the reorganization of republican affairs fm the State of New York—the old machine having decayed to the point of uselessness— it is proposed to have Gen. Anson G. Mc- Cook become chairman of the New York County Executive Committee. The sign is & hopeful one. Gen. McCook, who was well known in this city for many years, will never descend to the lower political levels and is far beyond the reach of “Tings” and “combines.” A few more such men as he in controlling positions and republican politics in the Empire State will not so closely re- sembie the abhorred tactics of Tammany as they have for some time past. Political organization i, of course, necessary to Party success, but when the assembled mechanism is controlled by an unscrupt- | lous “boss” that party needs and deserves defeat. The proposition to put Anson G. | McCook in the place now occupied by Jacob M. Patterson is in the interest of good gov- ernment. roe —__ Queen Liliuokalani lost her tarone be- cause she identified ho-:elf, to the detri- ment of her people, wit: Louisiana lottery workers and opium smugglers, and because see, attempted to subvert and overthrow the constitutional limita‘ions upon her ab- solute power. Will restoration by the united States amount to an endorsement of these projects of the queen, and give notice to her people that the United States will not permit the queen to be dechroned on these grounds? Will the republic make itself an accomplice in imposing upon the Hawalian People the Louisiana lottery, the opium ring, and a corrupt, usurping and aggrand- izing monarch, who plots to overthrow the Hawalian constitution and grasps at -ab- solute power? ———+ +s ___ It is claimed unhesitatingly that the Columbia is the fastest war ship ip the world, and she is not built for running away, either. ——+ +s ___.

In Virginia but little has been accomplished. County road building works ! well in places, but the limits are too nar-| Fow to produce the best effects, and between two modern counties there frequently in- tervenes the ancient and deliberate resi- dents on a piece of territory that has no roads worthy the name. Communication be- tween the two wideawake counties is there- fore broken and the produce that might be Drofitably bartered finds only a local and @heap market. Gov.

If the republic did oust the queen from her profitable job, present re- Storation is not adequate legal compensa- tion. Shall we have England as an arbitra- tor between Hawail and the United States to ascertain how much money Liliuokalani as queen could have made in the interval of dethronement by selling Hawalian inter- ests to lottery sharks and opium smugglers, and to assess damages against the republic for this loss of royal profits? ———++-—____.

Oo SHOOTING STARS. & House Warming. “Will you be down town tonight?” said one department clerk to another. “No, I’m going to a house warming.” “You don’t say so! Whose house is it?’ “Mine. Before I started down town this morning my wife told me she thought I'd better come home early and see about Starting a fire in the furnace.” She played the piano with vigor and vim, But the neighbors ne’er chided at all, They were grateful indeed that their plight was no worse, For she never played “After the Ball.” An Idea. “Ob, what shall I do!” said the hungry young man, Whose cash the chrysanthemum got, “My appetite calls, but I can’t find a plan By which I can better my lot. I have it! Some oll, and some pepper and salt | _And vinegar mixed in a cup | I'll borrow. The dressing will be without fault, And I'll eat my chrysanthemum up.” Business. “Great Scott!” exclaimed one prisoner to ; nother immediately after a brief but deci- sive interview with the police justice. “He gimme sixty days dis time. He only used ter gimme thirty.” “Dat's business. He reco’nizes yer ez a stiddy customer an’ gives yer better meas- ure.”” The Latest Bulletin. All hail! Queen Lil. All hail! 'tis due This loud and long refrain; In fact the prospect now for you Shows much more hail than reign. Doing Things Gradually. “Young man,” said Willie Wibbles’ fath- er, “when are you going to go to work?” “Fathah,” said Willie, “I have been wead- ing poetry.” “Indeed?” “Y-a-a-s; and I was stwuck with the line, | ‘Learn to labor and to wait.’ I'm going to act on it, only I've concluded that the best | way foh me is to learn to wait first, and then turn my attention to the wemainder. It is always best, you know, to do one | thing at a time.” And beneath this mass of philosophy the | old gentleman was helplessly prostrate. He Didn't Feel Sure. | He was pretty well along in years and had a laugh which was as cheery as it was | ingenuous. “So you want to do chores for me,” said | the man on whom he had called. | “Deed I does.” “Well—I don’t know, You look as if you were honest—" “Kernel, I'll tell yer de troof "bout dat.” “Go ahead.” “Well, yuh see, I specks I's puffickly hones’, but I kain’t be sho.” “Why not?” ““Ain’ had "nuff 'sperience. I'se wifstood wahtahmillions all right ‘nuff, but I neber yit had no faceter-face temptations wid chickens.” SALE OF SFIOES Very early in the season we placed orders with our Great Eastern Factory for a tremendous Shipment of Winter Shoes,expect- ing of course, the usual cold snap.
