There is no denying the fact Tint The people
OF Chicago have Of lalo bcen considerably c1cr-
clsei1 over Hhnt has been snfl regarding tho In.
tcnttons Of the labor organizations which, from
their principles, aro known to be leading In
tccers In tho soclalEstic movement. With The
appronch OF the month Ut July, whens 1t Is be-
lfcvcd, tho followers Of the rcd flsR arc ndst

the Increasing temperature has Its elect In III.
flaming the passions Of men, It was urgently
set forth that the present month would witness
scenes of rapinc, incendtastsn1, and b'oodascd
that would paralyzo the ucrvo of the
country and cause the ~ p1aVcst Heart
to quail before the awful acts Of the lnfur'atcd
mobs. It has been urged that the arntng Of
these military bottcs with which the city hns
teeuel for wear or two paat meant overt acts
agatnst law aud order, and that were not tic
motive q bud ono that. prompted such bHnlngs
together, they would not have been under.
tokep, Then again: II has been lnlustr1ously
hrrnlded abroad that the lnbbr uuiona contem-
platel making positive aud percmptorY de-
rnanu ios an advance Of wages, which, being de-
MED tlIrm by the manufacturing interests OF the
city, would unite tile two factlons-thr political
a1si tho workngmcnfs wings Of the Socialist
body-in common interest, and thus prcctpt.
tate tho event Of horror ,a.d desolnt!on above
referred to. The demonstrations Of these men
hnvo been watched with vigflant eyc by The
authorities, lcst they should at ahy unexpected
moment be turned into the channel Of ant aeun
istn; md while the professions OF tho leaders
have nil through bcen stoutly against any tutct-
ton 10 do lIarm to person nr property Of citt-
xrna who nre known to be not In sympathy with
their movement, tho means Of guarding s,,cl,
pcraops md property havo been largely
augmented, until now 1t Is felt TINT Should,
through any unforeseen cause, suc!, troubles
arise, the means Of supprcssIng thcu, would be
promptly ut hand. Tho life OF riot would be
but short, at best.
Now that July haa come, and the Fourth
is at hand, the citizens OF Chicago arc
asking ono anosllcr what the Socialists PURPOSE
doing, 1t is we'll known that they hayc arrapecd
for q monster demonstration tomorrow, mud
that they will parade the streets with enstgns
and uniforms, but whether they will presume 10
violate llse law which says they shu'l not brar
