To-day the Chicago Anarchists will
hang. The daily press is, and has
been for the past week, filled with
lengthy dispatches from Chicago re
gardiag the manner in which the con
demned men receive the evident cer
tainty of their doom and impression it
i« making upon that element and pub
lic in general. Threating letters have
been received by the Governor in case
he does not oommnte their sentence or
pardon them. Since one of them
made an attempt to commit suicide
and booms were found in one ol their
cells, public indignation has increased
against them, and the Governor for
tha last day or two has been receiv
ing more petitions for their execution
than for the exercise of exeeutive
clemency. What will hostile out
growth ol the matter, no reasonable
conjecture can be made. Part of the
condemned men are stubborn, while
the other part, in view of death, suc
cumb to Detition for executive clemen
cy and to an emotional demonstration
la every part ©f the country,the Anar
chal element is wrought up to fever
bent, and are strong and threatening in
IWirdenunciations against police amd
State officers. Troops are held in
>e*diness for any attempt of violence.
It is seasonable to- tear that the pres
ent alair is only a begining. Anar
chists have no respec-t "tor American
institutions, and will have equally as
little for the live* of American citi
zens after lh» coiuleaimed men are exe
cuted.
A number of States elected State
•ffieers last Tuesday, with n general
alight falling off of the Democratic
majorities. But New York gave the
naaal item leraiui p^t’aarality—lo,ooo
while Ohio gave the usual Republican
—elected Poraker, Governor by nearly
Jif»,ooo. Republican gains were made
ib Virginia, but, of course, the Demo
crat wiR have both branches of the
Iltgisfoture by a good maiprsty even' on
»joint ballot.. Rhode Island wac s
aweoprng republican victory. R.'pob-
Tioaas carried and mad* gains in Mas
aachusatta. Democrats madc'ai slight
guitv m- Pennsylvania. Maryland
gave her usual Democratic Majority,
a*»di bexb branches of the legislature
will l be largely Democratic. The
Prohibition and labor votes did not
mho-mi to nuicb in, any of tlio States.
One-of tbe- most significant rmficaiions
was- ifii iforw York, It is cooceeded
by esrerroiw cooversan») with political
affair*-im the least, that the result of
the next PaesidbcLtial contest depends
an that State. It was noticeable, and
admitted by the Republicans, that the
JD#inncmtie part ot the ihbor element
wote-il the old ticket, while the Repnb-
Ifieaißi pact Moedi to. the nominee and
v»»ted thg- Iblkx; ticket, if such is the
oose In t'Aa pceardea-tiur election, a
JDetaoeraitic victory is certain.
Two P’rohf&itfon cases, one from
Kansas nn.l the other from lowa, are
xow pending before the United
States* Saf-rema Court, and will be
d>isposed of in a lew days. No case
has sekloa* »ppearad oa tie doeket
that created such general and intense
inte.e.w. Tlu» constitutionality ot the
Prohibition laws in each State is
bjottgbt in question the giormd
that a State has not tbe right to de-
Iprive a citizen of property without
due process td law. Those who hope
to see the Suprarue Court decide
against the Prohibition laws tnaaitest
a singulor confidence in a satisfactory
outcome. What grounds they have
for such a decision are not clearly
ascertained.
Atlanta has a Young Men’s Anti-
Prohibition Club, compose! of fally
lotxr hundred members, We cannot
«up|x>se they represent the “future of
oor country.” They tiny be “conseicn
lions,” but their argument* ami ad
dieses delivered before the club un
doubtedly show extreme marks of
weakness in moral courage and a se
rious deficiency in point of intelli
gence. What a young man, wno al
ius h'msclf against this great moral
princij le and cause, can expect to be
the outcome of himself, otherwise than
discreditable, is a mystery to a sound
thinking mind, much more so to those
who have the greatest inteiests of hu
manity at heart.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wanhiston. D. C., Nov. 7, 1887.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sioners are kept very busy in their
apartments in the Marble Sun Ruild -
ing. They are, however, meeting out
justice by seeing that tlie honest far
meia and tradesmen have justice done
to them. They have just made a de
cision that when a railway company
runs patalelled lines they shall charge
no more on one line than on the other
and that rates shall not only be rea
sonable in themselves but that they
shall be so relatively reasonable as to
piotect communities and business
against unjust discrimination.
As intimated in my last letter would
be tho case the Supreme Court an
nounced its opinion on Wed nesday
denying the writ of error in the An
archists case. Choif Justice made
the announcement in a crowded court
room, and as the eight Justices filed
into the room, clothed in their long
silken gowns, they looked more grave
and solemn than usual. The Chief
Justice read the decision in an nous
ually dear voice, and stated that the
Court was unanimous, and when he
finished, a sigh of relief and MUiafac
tion was audible throughout tin
Court room.
Tl>e story that a dynamite ma
chine was sent to the house or the
Chief Justice the day after the de
cision was rendered was a sensation
gotten up by a would-be enterprising
newspaper man, but not a member ot
fraternity, together with his aceura
pbee, has been arrested on the charge
of conspiracy to defraud the ltewspuper
fraternity by offering the story for sale
to the Washington correspondents of
newspapers enterprising enough to
have a corresjxmdenl at tlie Capitol.
There seems to be practically n >
contest lor the next Speakership, and
most of the Congressmen, who have
been here recently,concede that Speak
er Carlisle will have a walk-over.
The contest, however, for the posi
tion of door keeper, and fin - other offi
ces is waxing warm. Door-keeper
Donelson, of the last House, has strong
support, bnt he is pressed hard by
Hurt, ’of Mississippi, There ate
somehaff dozen o r her candidates, but
as yet, they have not developed much
strength so far as can be seen.
The Republicans felt confident of
winning in New York State, because
of the Henry G*orge faction nominat
ing-a whole ticket. The ticket was
expected to draw largely from the
Democratic votes in large cities which
are Democratic strongholds, because
the workingmen are Htrongly imbued
with Democratic principles. Such
methods cf the enemy, however, are
now so plain to the workingmen that
they will not be deceived by them in
the Presidential campaign and so the
.leaders of the Democracy sojourning
jai the Capital are not at all dismayed
j A rousing victory warts the grand old
putty due year from now. H.
Editorship.
From’Courier Jouimail]
Some people estiinatethe ability of
a periodical and the talent ofljis
editor by the quality ol its origiTW
matter. It is comparatively an easy
task for a frothy writer to string out
a column of words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may flow in one
weak, washy, everlasting flood, and
the command of his language may eu
able him to stiing tljern together like
bunches of onions, and yet his paper
may be but a meager and poor con
cern, Indeed, the mere writing part
of editing a paper is but a small por
tion of the work. The care, the
time employed in selecting, is far
more important, and the fact ot a
good editor is better shown by bis se
lections than anything else; and that
we know, is half the battle. But we
have said, an editor ought to be esti
mated, his labor understood and ap
preciated, by tbe general conduct of
his paper—its tone, its uniform, con
sistent course, aims, manliness, dig
nity, and its propriety.
