woman who knew me in my boyhood9
| You may hughor frown, as You please,
don't care It's nobody's business if
did take that little woman in nv arms
and kiss her when l found that she and

She was the widow of that Chicago man:
too, and that money had kept in de-
posit so long was hers
Ittook so long to say all we wanted to
say, to ask all about the living and the
dead, that the train went on without it's
passenger.
And it is singular how many tender
recoilections returned when discussing
the scenes Of youth. 1t was not Mrs

COLLAPSE OF THE DETROIT SCAN-
DAL.

The reaction in public sentiment at
Detroit over the McCoskry scandal is
complete and overwhelming. 1t is now
known that the letters upon which the
charges against the venerable Bishop
we're based, are of two classes, the real
and the forged ones. The first class
includes four, which are now in the
First National Bank in that city. They
are said by a correspondent who has
seen them to be Letters such as any
Christian gentleman, especially a cler-
gyman, might write to a young female
ward-letters of advice, counsel and
instruction" The indecent letters, on
the other hand, are plainly the work
of another hand. They bear nosigna-
ture except hieroglyphic cipher, and
their language is course, misspellsd
and vulgar, as different as possible
from the chaste, scholarly manuscript
of the Bishop, as shown iRthe genuine
letters. Another fact is of great weight
as pointing out the real author of the
scandal. Mcconnell, the printer who

Fannie Richards while courting her,
has a certain aptness in drawing. The
forged letters are interlarded with in
decent drawings IN pen and pencil, just
such sketches az Mcdonnell has been
frequently known 10 make, but which
Bishop McCoskry cooid not make if
be had wished to. All this, with the
prompt and honestly indigant denial
of Mrs. Bannister and IcCoskry, ought
Il would seem, to constitute an impreg-
nable case. without further eEamina-
ton or trial The obvious fact is that

CHICAGO COMMUNISM.

Here is sample of the talk of the
pestilent Chicago Communists, who are
disquieting good citizens by buying
arms and holding secret meetings for
drill. A day or two ago a Tribune re
porter had long talk with one of the
the leaders of the Socialists in that city.
Said he:
There is trouble brewing"
+, The reporter asked why, and he re-
piled that times were not improving.
You will see something terrible in
short time; something that will open
your eyes, and will compel you, as well
as all wage-workers, to go with us"
DO you mean to say that you will at
tempt revolution?" -. 49, .-.r-
al mean to say, sir, that a hatred has
been engendered between the capitalists
and laboring classes, and the time is ripe
for change. The capitalists are divided
against themselves, and that is what will
help US. / hate to see it coming. but
there are going to be terrible times.
am afraid we can get refora in no other
way"
n6what do you mean?" asked the re-
porter. .-
Il mean, sir, that our rights are denied
us at the ballot-box, and we propose to
have them by force ofarms;-have them
we will"
"Do you mean 10 say that there will
be blood -shed?"
Il say that there will be a change
within the next ninety days, and we will
bring it about"
How"
"By revolution. The mines are laid.
We have the trains ready, and the firing
will be begun all along the line at once.
Capitalists will meet the laborer on the
streetand the capitalists viii be hanging
from every lamp post The laboring
men have been kept down long enough.
What we want is cooperative State, In
which all rights of property shall be
vested, and each man shall be recon-
pensed according to his power of pro-
duction. That is the object of the So
cialistic party" .-..s ......
The result of the Tn5une's investiga-
tons are somewhat re assuring. The
Socialists claim that they have 5000
armed and diciplined men in Chicago,
but the Tribune believes that these state
ments are grossly exaggerated for the
purpose of creating alarm and enabling
the politicians to fill the police force up
to its old proportions. A few insight
ficant military companies are all the
Tribune reporters have discovered Of this
Communistic army. 1t is not pleasant
reflection for property-holders, however,
that there exists body Of armed men,
though numbering only few hundreds,
whose avowed purpose is to hang capi-
talists to the lamp posts. Sensible people
begin to ask if this is not altogether too
free country, when the criminals, ad-
venturers, and outcasts of European So
ciety can come to our shores and openly
plot revolution, robbery, arson and
murder in the cities that shelter them.
When man makes threats against the
life of an individual he can be arrested
and compelled to give bonds for good
behavior There certainly ought to be
some law to take hold of wretches who
threaten a whole community with
plunder and blocdshed.
