wasting the strength Of the Communist
in that city aud Brooklyn, and assures
the public from the results obtained that
there is little to fear from riots aud revo.
luton in that quarter. The Tribune says
that careful observation OF the interior
workings of the so.called Communist
or Socialist organizations, derived from
actual membership shows that they are
simply what they have always been,
harmless societies of loud aud foolish
people whose talk is of the ~tsllest, but
whose acts are the reverse of revolu.
tionary." The president Of the New
York police board says they have re.
garded the subject Of Communism as too
trivial for discussion, and no orders have
been issued to the force in reference to
these societies. The strength Of the or
ganizAtion in New York and Brooklyn
does not much exceed 1000 men, and
there is nothing to show that they are
armed or seriously contemplate any dis
turbance of the public peace. There
are few Americans and fewer Irishmsu
to be found in their ranks.

There will be no more performance
this season at the Egyptian Hall in New

a little speech on the stage last Saturday
evening, which was a decided hit" he
said: II am a captain Of police. l have
a warrant for this place. Keep your
seats a few minutes. The place was sur.
rouRded by officers, so that no one could
escape. Behind the curtain all was com.

celebrated statue group" tell to shriek.
ing and crying, their tears washing little
burrows through the paint on their faces.
They were given time to remodel their
toilets. There were nine girls, aged from
sixteen 10 twenty. three. Ten OF the pris.
oners we're men, vulgar comic singers and
clog dancers. They we're all locked up
in cells. The women "cursed the Egyp-
tian Hall heartily, and wanted to know
if it was dark down there where they
we're going 10 be put" The audience
kept quiet, assured that q company OF
200 or 300 would not be arrested, and
applauded the police as they chased the
men and dragged them out OF the dark
recesses about tho stage. Not until all
these dens Of corruption are wiped out
Of existence will the theater be accepted
without scruple by the Christian world.
We wonder that the respectable and in.
auential members of the profession do
not use their utmost power to extinguish
a class who are such a reproach and a
Disgrace to their chosen calling.

1t seemed evident in the beginning that
this must be the ultimate result, for
the manufacturers we're being under

to close their mills than to run them
without reducing the cost of production.

make them remunerative, not by a redac-

reduction OF the product itself they
asked that the hours Of labor, instead of
the rates Of wages, should be reduced.
Their scheme was impracticable, as the
market is not ruled by the English man

cost Of product SO as to permit higher

CHICAGO. June 2l.-At 1920 this
morning Jere Connolly and Geo. Sherry
we're hanged at the county Jail for the
murder of Hugh McConville, on the 10Th
of last January. The men were quiet
and composed, and spent their last few
moments in silent prayer. They shud-
dered at the reading Of the death war
rants and the placing Of the ropes about
their necks. but paid close attention to
the words of Father Donnelly, who was
present on the scaaold. The trap was a
plain drop, and when it was sprung the
bodies dangled in the air with but slight
struggle. There we're no speeches and
no accidents. Their necks were broken
by the fall, and life was extinct in seven
minutes. In fifteen minutes the bodies
we're cut down aud delivered to their
friends.

and his wife, on the Circleville pike, a

of a very large crowd. He went quiet.
ly to the scafold, refused to permit any
religious services, had nothing to say and
maintained a defiant attitude to the
last. His neck was broken at the fall OF
the trap. He never confessed the crime.

A letter received here from Colonel
Q1ay requests hat political assessments
upon Pennsylvania officials be stopped,
as it has always been their preference to
subscribe for the campaign fund Of the
State.
This being a Cameron campaign, and
the office holders being ell C~ameronisns,
the logic of the request is obvious. But
with the $4,000 Qaay gets as his frst
years pickingsi in the Recorder office, we
don't see what the Camerons want with
any more money, especially if to this is
added the contributions of certain corpo-
rations opposed to the Free Pipe law and
the Anti.discrimiuation bill. The Cam.
erons propose that the present campaign
shall be ever more corrupt than that Of
'372, and Quay is the boy to manage the
business.
