HON. THOMAS HOYNE,

Many Of our people were greatly
shocked TO see at the head OF the list OF
victims of the late railroad disaster IN Or.
leans county, n Y, the name Of the Hon
Thomas lIoyne, Of Chicago. There are
few people who have lived any time in
Illinois to whom that name is not familiar
In all the relations of leading lawyer of
Chicago, public spirited and honored
citizen and a prominent and influential
democratic politician, Mr.. Hoyne has been
a conspicuous figure for many years. He
was born In New York in 1917, and cane
to Chicago IN 1887. Soon after his arrival
he taught school. Later he entered the
law Office OF j. Y. Scammon and com.
pleted his study Of the law which he had
begun IN the east. In 1889 he was admit
ted to the bar In iS4l he served as city
clerk, under Mayor Francis G. Sherman,
and that year he drafted the earliest thanks.
giving proclamation of the State of I'LL
nols In 1912 he moved to Galena, where
he resided for two years. He then re.
turncd to Chicago and resumed the prac-
tice ol the law.
Mr.. Hoyne had served several terms In
the Illinois Legislature, had becn |. S.
Marshal for Northern Illinois, was in 1916
elected mayor of Chicago, and had held

CAREY.

Whatever doubts may at first have been
entertained as to the identity of the James
Carey who was killed few days ago in
South Africa with the Dublin informer of
that name, the inquest at Port Elizabeth
and the judicial examination Of O'Donnell
have set them at rest. James Carey, the
traitor and iniormer, is dead, and nothing
but the trump of resurrection will wake
him to life again.
His tate was deserved. There are crimes
which are beyond the reach Of the aveng
ing hand of the law and which only the
assassin or Judge Lynch are fitted to deal
with. Such was Carey's crime Of the
eight men who participated in the foul
butchery in Phoenix Park he was the most
guilty. According to his own boast on the
witness stand it was he who lnstigated and
directed the ASSASSINATION of Lord Caven.
dish and Mr. Burke and he had in addition
planned the killing of Mr.. Forster. A man
of education, in easy circumstances and OF
social position, his accompllces looked up
to him and easily allowed themselves to
be persuaded that they would but discharge
the duty of Irish patriots by cutting the
throats of unarmed and lnotlensive men.
The crime accomplished, himself the
chict lnsugator and an active participant,
when detection and punishment became
imminent he deliberately handed over his
accomplices to the executioner and saved
his own neck by turning traitor and lnfor.
mer. The government, by accepting his
aid, humiliating and repulsive as must
have been the necessity, had placed his
punishment beyond Its own or any legal
reach. Yet thousand times more than
Brady, Cowley or Kelly he deserved to die.
Who then but the assassin could reach
him?
Ireland alone rejoice that retributive ven.
geanCe has ovCrtakon him, for all the
world reJolces with them; nor is it fair to'
cite their joy as an evidence that the Irish
people are in sympathy with the lnrincl-
bic society and assassination. There isno.
evidence that the irish people as body
ever regarded with any feeling hut repro
baton and horror TIC crimes for which
Brady and his fellow dupgs were hanged.
There was DO demJus'raJion--u token ol
sympathy tor them when they were ss,ou.'
