Rich crime in adherence, and would not
intorposo to project him from the fnll meas
uro Of justice. Even the basa-pnll clubs
discipline tltoir ,neinbors for fraudulent,
malicious, wrongful, nud, wiokcd conduct.
Tho Typographical Union, therefore, docs
not mean to ba understood ns cutting looso
from The lawa and morality Of civilization
and f"lliug lack upon thai Of tho Zulus aud
tue Sioux. Thoy do uns n,oan TINT thoy
want thiH law repoalcd.> They do not mean
that they want everybody FREQ to aot will,
fraudulent and malicious intons, md wrong
fully and wickly to tnfuro any aud everybody
elao in person and property.
What they probably want tho working.
nlon Of Illinois and OF tho world to un1er-
stand IL, that their associates who have boon
held to bail nro not guilty Of tho ofrenao
with which thsy arc charged. That, in
common charity, is what wo assume

Intelligent President Of an Order Of moro

cent. tEen. esc. Tho "groat battlo" will
probably be very tamo affair. Judge TuLEx,
who has survived many Dcmocrntio primary

tho Common Council. will DO untlaturbed by
tho ronsiug artil1ory; Mr.. M1L1s will employ
no extraordinary strategy, md tho morning

will docido TINT fact on tho oyideuoo, Did

property of any other porson =? II thoy did,
tho not, lika scores Of other similar acts COM

If tLoy did not do 1t, thou they will bo &C.
quilted. II they wero guilty, then their act
WAS inaefenssble; II thoy wero not guilty,
thon thoy will bo discharged. No man in
tho Typographical Union can defend the not,
If 1t wero done; no man Gnu malicously,
wrongfu!ly, md wicLedly injure tho person
or property Of another without deserving
proper punishment; 1t Is tho exact jnstico
which orery ,nomber Of tho Typographical
Uuion Hbou1d demand to be meted out to IN
offender against him personally.
Tho attempt to magnify this business into
a grand natioual affair ia simply ridiculous.
The domnnd for tho repeal Of the law, which
is as old as civilization, which Ia as universal
aa hurnan rights, and which is fundamental
protection to tho rights of every ,nan'B por-
son and property, Is to, place tho Chicago
Typographical Union IN, tuo attitude of war
ring against tho safsty Of the citizen, and in
favor OF unrostrafned dishonesty and wickod-
nass. We do not believe tho Typographical
Union intended TINT It should te placed In
