EXPLANATORY APPEALS TO TIE WORKING MEN
THREATENED DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE RE-

AUTHORITIES.
Especial Dispatch to the New York Timesl
CHICAGO Feb. 23.-There is great activity
among the Communists here, and trouble is an
ticipated. Ever since Saturday their leaders
have been in earnest consultation regarding
proposed raid on the Relief and Aid Soci
e eIr+,n which tnn, they !, charge is not dis
ment as it ought. The city is flooded with cir
| cuiars calculated to iuilime the workmai,'s
heart The proclamation, which IL printed in
English Bohemian, German, and Scandinavian,
charges that misery and destitution in Chicago
have reached Il climax, that thousands of work
ing men are suffering, thus craving immediate
help and shelter, and that the Relief and
Aid Society refuses to employ money entrust-
ed to them to relieve these destitute people,
and refers the sufferers to the County Agent.
The circular then says "As the Relief and Aid
Society il now refusing the necessary support
to the really needy, throwing the burdens upon
the taxpayer, specializing with the funds solely
destined to relieve the poor and supporting
Herewith mass of idle officials, leaving the
citizens OF this city to starvation and cold, it is
the duty OF every good citizen to protest against
this shameful proceeding, and to demand de-
cided and immediate change OF this state Of al
fairs"
The Communists have called meetings to be
nc held in all parts Of Chicago Wednesday night.
The report has gained ground that the Gonlml,l-
lists will force their demands by arms.
The city officials held a secret meeting to. day
10 provide measures to Resist any demonstration
that may DO made. The First Il lgiment of Mill
tia has been ordered to be at its armory on Wed
day evening, and all military companies are in
readiness to move. The Police Department has
also been ordered to be prepared for an emer-
gency tomorrow.

THE FALsELY CALLED PRESS GAG LAW

THE (FALSELY CALLED PRESS GAG LAW
The tremendous racket made by some of the
newspapers, and especially by those which par
ticuariy lay claim to the title of independent "
over law passed by the last session Of Con-
gress, and which they denominated the POLAND
press gag law" will be readily remembered.
Considering the source OF the clamor, honest
people had reason to presume 1t without good
foundation, aud were so disposed to conclude.
yet the persistent aud bitter assaults upop
Judge Poland aud the act in question, aud the
proiigious and vehement fuss made over it un-
dlnbtedly deceived many.
1t now appears that the act does not apply to
the press at all, having no bearing whatever
upon the law of libel, and the pretense that i,
was intended to be,or could be used fora .'gag'
TO the newspapers, whether honest or 81 inde
pendent, vanishes into thin air. Ga Tuesda,
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, ipclud
ing Senators Elmunas, Caulking, Freliughuysen
Wright, Thurman and SteoenSon latter til,
two ablest Democratic lawyers in the chamber
presented a unanimous report, reviewing I'll,
whole law, and carefully analyaing it's provi
sions. The concluding paragraph of tile repor
sums up the whole matter thus -
The result Is that the act Of June 22, 1874
IL not, III our opinion, obnoxious to any crit
c!sn and. III respect of the crime OF libel il
coniers no power either to bring a person
charged with 1t into the District of Columbia o,
send him ont of it,"
Aud as the whole fabric of foolish falsehood
erected Jointly BY the mendacious "pdepen.
dent and the vehement opposition press, goes
down in heap. Even Thurman and Stevenson
join in declaring charges against the law un.
founded. This Is one more Illustration of the
fact that in the warfare which has been carried
on against tue President, the Administration
and the legislation of Congress- truth has been
disrcgarded as well as justice, and that the mo.
tive has been, not to serve the public interests
but to break down the Republican organization

THREE REPORTS IN Two-wnERE Tuny AGREE AND
WHERE THEY DIFFER-MEssRs. FOSTER AND
PHELPS WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
Especial Dispatch to the New York Times
WAsnlNaToN, Feb 20.
The report of Messrs. Hoar, Wheeler, and
Frye, Of the committee which has investigated
the condition Of affairs in Louisiana, finally ap-
pears as the report OF the minority OF the COM
mittee. Mesrs. Foster, Phelps, Marshall, and
Potter sign document which they term the ma
tority report, which is astatement OF the points
Of agreement and difference Of the members
signing. 1t is two reports for convenience
grouped together.
On one OF the conclusions of the Hoar re-
port all members Of tho committee
are unanimously agreed. They all declare the
action of the Returning Board fraudulent and
illegal. Concerning the recognition Of Kellogg,
Foster and Phelps substantially agree witt, the
other Republican members. They 10 not think
there is any evidence to show whether Kellogg
was or was not elected Governor, but they are
willing to accept the recognition of Kellogg
coupled with restoration OF the House OF Re-
personalities OF the State to Democratic con-
troll, as compromise Of the controversies. In
regard to intimidation and the White League,
Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Phelps adhere to their for
mer report, and are fully in accord, this branch
Of the subject with the Democratic colleagues.
Tho committee is really divided into three
parts, ana wonld naturally have made, as they
do in substance make, three reports. The plu.
rality would be composed OF three members
who sign the minority report another report
would be signed by Foster and Phelps, not DIFF
ferlng much in its recommendations, though
differing widely in line OF argument and the two
Democrats, Potter and Marshall, would sign an
other different from either by many degrees ex
cept in that point which happens to favor theiI
| own party. 1t was expected and was at first an
nounced, that Mr.. Foster would unite with tn,
Hoar report, appendng an individual statement
OF his own, and that Mr. Phelps would mite witt
the Democrats but the affair has finally as
sumed the form above marked out. There it
reason to believe that some not very grave con
cessions III the Hoar report would have secured
| for il 3 minority Of signatnres.

HONOR To WHOM H0NOR

Tho recent reception OF the poet william Gull
len Bryant by the Legislature of New York tie
official recognition by the highest body in the
State of All individual OIL purely individual
claims lis the first Of what we may hope will
prove long line OF honors to deserving citizens
by those in authority. 1t is not q great while
since certain OF the people Of Delaware honored
themselves in honcring true American poet,
whose laurels if less green than Mr.. Brysnt's,
have yet been honestly won and modestly worn,
and it is just possible that the wide attention the
Bayarl Taylor ceremonies excited may in some
way have led to the late demonstration at Alba.
ny. Blu. the point Of the Bryant reception was
its high official characteristic business Of the
Legislature having been suspended for the pur
pose of receiving the Poet III its especial hon
ored guest. The incident is unique in the his
tory OF American letters.
Such ali example is one of the best that coult
possibly be offered to the young, or to all VIII,
belle We that county should recognize sigma
merit in its citizens by signal acts. 1t will b,
the ideal government when that is done, an,
the nearer We come to such state Of things
even it is not possible to entirely realiz
it, the better will it be for the peop
governed. Regarding Mr.. Bryant there will b.
none to dispute that he is in the best sense on
OF tile foremost citizens OF the Republic. Iii
altogether lifting that man who has shed sucl
lustre on the American name should in turn b
made the subject of 80 much of free people
admiration as the gvers can bestow without of

esteem. 1t is not difficult to strike the medal
