Supreme o>«r I.leeime-
Last we -k was unusually excit
ing time, even in the greit and
turbulent city ofChicago, There
were seven men—Anarchists —in
jail under sentence of death for
the murder of seven police-men
in a riot caused by the Anarchist*'
some months before. Eight were
tried and seven were sentenced to
liung while the other was given
fifteen yp«rs in the State prison.
, . 1
s.-iy l .'u r uuiO'S ine iV courts
in tnecountry were
and the day appointed for execu
tion was drawing nigh, when one
who had resorted to dynamite to
slay the policemen, employed the
same means to end his own life in
his cell. The Governor commu
ted the sentence of two to impris
onment for life, and the other
four were hung. When the
causes which led to so much legal
and natural death in one day are
known, to the American people,
their only surprise will be that one
of these men should l ave been an
American born citizen. It is dif
ficult to understand how a man of
( sound mind, born and raised un
der the protecting arm of our laws
could so tar forget those laws and
their protection o the rights and
lives of others as to engage in so
uuli£"£ul a proceeding as did these

unrestrained by law, or any regard
for the rights of others. When
such men get together in ?uch
numbers as have for many years
gathered in Chicago and other
large cities, they are dangerous to
society. They are generally poor
and often idle ami dissipated.
They live in rented homes for
which they soon begin to think
and to say land-lords charge too
high rents. They have a meeting
and demand lower rents and high
er wages. , The "strike" and when
other and more honest men go to
woik in their places the riot com
mences and murder follows.
Then they appeal to the laws they
have disregarded and violated
to screen them trom its penal

a cause for which they are ready
fo die, and the fact that thousands

We are glad to *ee that leading

and we shall anxiously watch for
his answer to his own question as

There is no other power or influ

The remark* of Mian Frances E.
W lllard. at the contention of the
Romans Christian Temperance
I, nion in Columbia, were in
lent tone. There was no want of
earnestness, and there was, at the
same tiuie, a kindly spirit which is
not always maniftfited in addressee
of the kind. Miss Willard, for in
stance, said she t _had met with a
warm reception in the South and
that "the tender-hearted humanita
rians of the press had Hpoken as
well of tLe act as they should.
This is only a fair acknowledgement
of the press, in general, in uphold
ing temperance.
The trouble with most of the ad
vocates of temperance is. that they
are unwilling to tolerate any differ
ence of opinion with them as to the
manner in which temperance shall
be promoted and assured. They in -
si*t usually on having their own
way, and are disposed to denounce,
witheringly, those w ho cannot agree
with them in their mode of proced
ure. Miss Willard. however, has a

have assistance in any good shape

apparently the lock was of ordinary
key form. A similar safe was stolen
from a gumboat in this city iu 1802.
A desk, and safe were carried bodily
from the boat and nothing WHS e*«r

from it the articles named and
proceeded to the arsenal, whore the
safe was blown open and dropped in
the waters of the Potomao, where it
remained hidden in the slimo and

gunboat exeeels $40,000, besides
valuable documents of importance to

Some years ago, wljon tho survivors
of the ill fftt etl Jcannette Polar
expedition—Lieutenant Melville and
others —returned to this city ado
lnonstration of welcome was arranged
by the citizens, and an escort,
including the famous Marine Baud,
met them at the depot, and as the
procession started up the Avenue the
band played "Home Sweet Home,'
with what seemed unusual effect and
sweetness. Among the prominent
people present to* do honor the
Arctic heroes was the venerable W.
\\\ Corcoran, whoso carriage was
next to Melville's in the procession.
He had known John Howard Payne
and had befriended the struggling
author in years long gone, ami as
the music of the familiar song burst
forth his eyes were suffused with
tears. He thought of "the sweet
singer of the song of home"—ahomo
lcsc wanderer: his bones mouldering
in a foreign land, ami there and than
tie resolved that John Howard
Payne's remains should find their
abiding place here at home. As with
him to think in a cause is to act., the
rest you know. Mr. Corcoran at
once entered into correspondence
with th* State Department and Mr.
Payne's surviving relative. Tho
details were soon arranged and tho
remains were brought home and
interred with appropriate ceremonies
June IKB3, Mr. Corcoran bearing
all the expenses.
