There are still a few planks loose on Farnam street between Tenth and Sixteenth, and, for that matter, on every pusiness OLD Mr. Thurman came down rather hard on Secessionist Jaclk icism of his Macon speech, in which strong sectional language had been used. The next morning the old gen- tleman’s kind heart prompted an apol- ogy. He. was sorry he hud called Jack- son a drunkard, but he entertuined the most houndless contempt for anyone who preached the doctrine of secession as a living issuo. It does not do to stir up that kind of a democrat. —— THE attempt of the horse railway com- pany to obstruct and delay the compl tion of the connections which the cable road has to make in order to begin op erations, does not meet with popular approval. The meusure of dumag which the horse railway claims to have sustained by the construction of the cablo line has been assessed by the United States courts. There the con- troversy should end. The ecable roal has a right of way through certain streots. It has expended more than half a miilion dollars in building oves two miles of cable road, and it is m: festly the public interest that the road shall be put in operation as early as practicable. Any obstraction now made to prevent the proper connection of its wacks is looked upon as petty epite work, Four of Them Wil Ha Between the appointed hours to-day four of the condemned nnarchists, Spies, Parsons, Engel and Fischer, will satisfy the demand of the law with their lives. Fielden and Schwab wiil go to imprisonment for life. Such is the de- ecigion, rendered after days of delibera- tion, of the final arbiter of the fute of these unfortunate men, Goveruor Oglesby. It has been expected that Fielden and Schwab would receive the clemency that has been accorded them. There were mitigating circumstances in the cases of both of them, and the prosecuting attorncy and the judge before whom they were tried both favored a commutation of the punishment of these men. They have also had more of the public sym- pathy than their asociates and were further commended to executive favor by having renounced their anarchistic opinions. The men who will be hanged have persisted in maintaining a some- what defiant spirit, though for a few days Spies has shown a desire to escape the gallows, Clemency to him, how- ever, would have necessitated its exten- sion to all, for even the evidence that involved Lingg in the conspiracy was not stronger than that against Spies. However much disposed men will be to credit Governor Oglesby with baving considered the cases of these men with absolute impartiality and with perfect freedom from all influences and preju- dices, it is certain that the decision will not fully satisfy anyone. Those who be- lieve that the verdict which condemned all of these men to death was just will not justify tie governor in excepting two of them from the operation of that verdict, and on the other hand those who think the verdict was unjust will still feel that a wrong is done in execut- ing it wupon four of the. con- demned. Appreciating fully the ex- traordinary character of the demand made upon Governor Oglesby, and with no wish to question hisdesire to do what ho clearly believed to be his duty, we still think he has made a grave mistake in allowing any of these men to go to the gallows, Simply on the ground of public policy we believe, for reasons heretofore expressed, that to have con- signed all these men to life 1mprison- ment would have been wiser and safer than to hang any of them. Taking the life of these men will not, it is feared, put an end to the influence they exert. The danger is that it will rather in- crease and intensify it. It is to be regretted that Governor Oglesby could not apprehend the full value of his opportunity, and while denying nothing to justice have done that which would most surely have best subserved publie policy. — Lingg Defeats the Gallows, Another tragic and startling climax has been reached in the dismal drama which has been running its course in Chicago for the past year and a half, and the end of which will be reached within the next few hours. Louis Lingg, one of the seven anarchists condemned to death, yesterday anticipated the work of the hangman by taking his own life. The method of self-destruction adopted by the desperate man, intensely determined not to die by the hand of the law, was so far as we are aware en- tirely Unigque. Holding in his mouth a cap charged with fulminate Lingg ap- plied a lighted candle to the explosive and in & moment the bomb-maker of the anarchists was beyond human aid or power. It had been understood for some time that Lingg intended to take his own life if he could find a way to do so. He had undoubtedly bent all his thoughts to this end since the decision of the su- preme court removed his last hope, for among the condemned men Lingg knew he had no chance for executive clem- ency. He persistently refused to ask it and would permit no one to ask it for him. Since the discovery of the bombs in his cell last Sunday he was kept under closer surveillance than either of the other prisoners, and lhis conduct after the discovery led to the beiief that his mind was unscttled. Only yesterday moning his lawyer took steps to have aninquiry instituted as to Lingg’s sanity, The tragic event suggests that very likely the strange conduct of this man, facing incvitable death and solicitous only about, the manner of it, was due to a ter- rible anxiety lest his purpose to defeat the gallows should fail, and not to any impairment of his faculties. There was a fearful method in his madness. The suicide of Lingg, with all its har- rowing features and the mystery of how he obtained the explosive. which may never be revealed, introduces into this most remarkable case a shocking and a warning incident that will intensify public interest and serve to de- fine more clearly in the popular mind the character of this exceptional event in oureriminalannuls. Whether this shall be for good or ill cannot be forctold. There will not be wanting many to extol the courage of Lingg and his devotion to his opinions, and if this man desired apotheosis among his class he could perhaps have chosen o more certain way to secure it. IFor him, however, it was doubtless suflicient that he was enabled to defeat the gallows. Election Suggestions, There are some interesting sugges- tions to be obtained from the clections of last Tuesday. Foremost among these is the evident fact that Mr. Cleveland strongly desires & renomination, snd will spare mo effort to secure it. His direct interference in the New York and Massachusetts campaigns makes this plain. His course in both cases was clearly inconsistent with the posi- tion he had taken regarding the extent to which a public official may prop- crly carry his political activity, and the only fair inference is that he was im- pelled to thus stultify himself by an overmastering desive to succeed him- self, The party leaders in New York had suceeeded in impressing upon him the desperate character of the situation, articulas \ftor the nomination of Nicoll by the publicans and his endorsement by the cutive independent press, and the u “ent necessity there was for adm! tration aid, not simply in the impliod desire for democratic success involved in a contribution of money, but by a formal expresston from the president in explicit Under this pressure, in which president's own future doubtless figured as a chief argument, Mr. Cleveland w induced to virtually re junctions against “pernicious activity" and write the letter which undoubtedly accomplished more for the success of the democratic ticket in than would the work of a hundred terms ordinary among the people and the polls. limitation to the presidential endorse- It covered the whole field and every democratic candidate in ment. field.

O’Brien i3 not only a staunch and fearless patriot fully in sympathy with the woes of his countrymen, but he is also a man proud in the consciousness of having com- mitted no crime. Exercising the right of free speech is no crime, however the laws of a country may read, and O'Brien isnot a guilty man nor a ‘‘convict.” He can go to jail and die there for exer- cising this right. He can eat prison fare and sleep in a prison cell for this right and still be a proud and happy man, But to wear the dress of a pris- oner and to perform the work of a con- vict is another matter.

Still another fact which the elections show is that in most of the states the prohibition vote is not losing ground, and in some it is gaining. It will proba- bly show an increase in New York of ten thousand over the vote of 1885, and it is thought has made progress in Mas- sachusetts and Ohio. This is the most menacing fact that confronts the repub- lican party, since nine-tenths of the prohibition growth in states comes from that party. great this loss has been to republican strength may boe scen from the fact that while in 1880 the prohibition vote of the whole country was only 9,678, in 1886 it bad reached the large total of 294,863, nearly doubling in may not be greater next year than at present, but it is not likely to be less, and will therefore be a formidable factor unfavorable to the republican party. ———— ‘Without Reading.
