TWO ARRESTS MADE.

clue TO the perpetrators Of the out
rage is thought to have been dicovered.
Just before the explosion occurred, a man
ard woman, the latter carving hand bag,
engaged cab outside Of Parliament ward and
drove rapidly away. giving no directions as
to their destination. They had not gone
very far when the explosion happened. The
cabman, hearing this, stopped the cab. The
man and woman at once leaped out and
FASTENED quickly from the spot The cab
man went IN pursuit, and the runaways were
soon overtaken by the police
Investig ations so far made BY the police
lead to the conclusion that the explosives
used in the attack on the Tower we're
handled by persons who gained access to
the structure as sight-seers. Nearly every
person who was within the Tower is detained
ard will be subjected to personal examina-
ton. The explosion was terrific and was
heard for miles up and down the Thames
and at once attracted an immense crowd ia
the scene.

The Cook county republican convention
10 appoint delegates to Republican dis
uict convention TO nominate a candidate
for Supreme Judge to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge Dickey, in
structed the delegates to vote for the nomi
nation of Gwynne Garrett, whoever he
may be. When, however, the district con-
vention met on Thursday the slate of the
Cook county machine was smashed, and
BENJAMIN ID. Magruder was nominated for
the vacant seat on the supreme bench He
is Mississippian by birth, and during his
twenty year residence in Chicago has held
the office of master in chancery seventeen
years. How that should peculiarly fit him
for the supreme bench is conundrum
machine politicians alone would probably
undertake to solve.
Cook county has also five county com
missioners to elect this fall for which
nominations were made. There is this ex-
cuse for making partisan nomination for
Judge in the Cook district that the Su-
preme Court at present stands tie on the
new election bill passed by the last legis-
lature for Chicago, and the Democrats
generally oppose while the Republicans
favor that bill. 1t is believed, however,
that if so prominent and able democrat
as Melville Fuller or Mr.. Goudy could be
induced to take the field as an Independent
candidate against the Republican nominee,
the schemes of the party bosses could be
defeated The people Of Cook county, on
sundry previous occasions, have shown that
they no more relish the idea of u partisan
judiciary than the people do in this region,
by defeating the nominees of the party
triCksters.

The news of the death of Henry NaIther,
a once prominent and honored business man
of Ottawa, at his new home in Omaha, Neb,
ON Tuesday evening, was received mere py
tele traph, within an hour after the sad event,
and though not surprise as The precarious
condition Of his health for year past was
well known, it caused feeling Of general
and profound regret
MIR. Walther had for fifteen years carried
on an extensive and prosperous cohteciloh-
cry business in this city, and from small
hegiuniugs had made such accommodations
that he at last ventul ed, for the better ac-
commodation of his large business, to erect
an extensive block of buildings, involving
him somewhat in debt Unfortunately about
the same time impaired health, the removal
of the post office and other causes so inter-
f.rel with his business that he was unable to
meet his obligations, and the anxiety anu
worry undermined his health 10 such dh
extent that he was no IL niger able 10 halh-

The question now Is, shall Will ant
Grundy, of the old 9th circuit, have one OF
the three Judges? Mr. Dibell Is their can
didate. In all fairness he should be elect
ed.-Buveau County Republican.
This plea of Justice to viii county i:
made with bad grace in behalf of a county
that had two of the three judges almost
continuously ever since the circuit was or
ganized, while La Sale county, with as
much business as Will and Grundy put to,
gether, had no Judge Yet no inconveni.
ence was ever felt here for the reason that
most of the time one or the other of the
Judges was in this county holding court or
within easy call of not over two hours.
The truth is, If elected, Judge Gilbert will
very probably pass quite as much OF his
time in Joliet as in Ottawa, and at the
worst will always be within few hours
call of Joliet, as McRoberts and Goodspeed
always were of Ottawa. The argument
drawn from the inconvenience of having
no resident Judge is absurd. No case for
a Judge to pass upon can ever be got ready
in less than two or three hours, and a
Judge can always be called to Joliet from
any part of the district within that time.

The Streator Free Press, in lis famine
for decent plea on which to base its sup
port of Dibell for circuit judge, makes this
extraordinary statement:
He is student and worker II is pre-
dCted by majority of the attorneys that
he would transact twice the amount of
court business that Judge Gilbert would.
A man who has confessedly never been
anything but second.rate country lawyer
who has never occupied a judicial position
of any sort in his life, not even that of a
Justice Of the peaCe-whu is Us innocent OF
experience on the bench, therefore, rs Il
schoolboy; this man would transact twice
the amount of court business that Judge
Gilbert would" OF course the Free Press
never heard any attorney make such an
asinine prediction" Judge Gilbert has
been on the La Sale county bench nearly
three years, During that time the cases on
the county court docket have quadrupled
IN number solely because Suitors in that
court have had their cases promptly dis
posed of, while in the circuit court they
often linger from term 10 term. The Ere,
Press is entitled TO all the credit that car
possibly attach To the originality as well a:
the bald absurdity Of its discovery tha
Gilbert is u slow Judge, and that Dibel
would be a rapid one on the bench!

LET GILBERT WATT" say the partisan
judiciary advocates. "He has good office
now, let him wait until that runs out be
fore aspiring to higher" The term OF
Mr. Gilberts present office expires in one
year There will not be another election
for circuit Judge in less than five years
1t is an honest, eXcusable and commend
able ambition in a man of MIR. Gilbert's eX-
ceptional ability to aspire to something
higher than little county judgeship. The
only opportunity for that promotion to pre-
sent itself in five years is at hand now.
The people are no less anxious to avail
themselves of Mr.. Gilbert's eminent fitness
Immediately than he is that their wish
shall be gratitied. Shall they be CON-
PEELED to wait five years because meantime
squad of party bummers want tool of
theirs to occupy the place?

ILLINOIS COLORED MEN.

A convention of about $50 of the mere
intelligent colored men of Illinois met in
Springfield on Thursday of last week and
remained in session until Saturday night
The gathering seems to have had no more
definite object than generally to talk over
matters concerning the educational, social
and political welfare of the cOlored race
in Illinois. Naturally, therefore, most of
the time was spent in talking Indeed so
overcharged were the members with pent-
up oratory that motion to invite Gov.
Oglesby to address the convention was
promptly voted down on the ground that it
would interfere with the talking privileges
of the members.
A resolution that the colored people Of
Illinois continue their allegiance to the re-
publican party was voted down without di
vision. So was a resolution censuring GER
tain colored BARRIERS In Illinois for refusing
to shave colored men was voted down on the
sensible ground, as explained by Elder Dy
son, that IL often became justifiable for
persons to exclude white men as well as CO
lored from their place of business, at which
their presence might be injurious; and if
colored people in any such case imagined
their rights violated, they had abundant re-
dress under the new Illinois civil rights
law This suggested the question, what
does the Illinois civil rights law mean? and
Brother Smith proposed to raise fund to
hire that prince of orators and friend of
mankind, Robert J, lngersoll, to step aside
for time from hunting upthe mistakes of
Moses and TO discover, by means Of IA test
case in the Supreme Court, the mistakes in
the Illinois civil rights law
A resolution expressing the sympathy of
the colored race for Ireland was adopted
unanimously and on the question of trade
and labor Il vigorous expression in favor OF
free trade was adopted. A state Central
Committee, however, composed entirely OF
Republicans, was appointed Resolutions
were adopted in memory of Gen. Grant; q
committee of three in each county was ap-
pointed to see that all colOred children of
proper age are admitted 10 the public
schools; and resolution was adopted ask.
ing for the same right for the orphans of
colored soldiers that is accorded To those
of white soldiers to admission to the State
Soldiers Orphans Home, colored children
at present being excluded from that nSri,
tuition.

One of the points decided at the late
election in Ohio was that there are to be nc
more elections in the United States in DC
tober. Pennsylvania was one of the first
to make the change, West Virginia and
Indiana followed, and now Ohio, by the
adoption of constitutional amendment,
decides to hold all her elections hereafter
in November, thus ending the October list.
Being the only October state, however, was
a big thing for Ohio last year-a grand be-
nanza for her politicans-who were over
whelmed with contributions from abroad
to keep the "boys" IN order and buy up
votes on both sides. 1t was getting so that
an Ohio voter felt degraded if he got less
than $40 for his vote, though Steve Dorsey
boosted, four years earlier, that he had
bought all the votes he needed at the Octo-
Der election in Indiana for crisp 81 bill
each There are yet few southern states
that hold their state elections in the spring
or summer months, but they are unimpor-
tant as political indicators and the result
in such states does not influence the result
in any other state.

volve the expense of electing county
Judge. There is nothing in this, as
reference to Chap. 40, Sec. 1873 OF the he
vised Statutes OF 1888 will show. The
statute provides that there shall be
special election only in case the vacancy
exceeds" one year, otherwise 1t shall be
filed by appointment of the Governor.
The vacancy caused by Mr.. Gilbert's cleo
ton as circuit Judge would in no event
" exceed one year, but will probably be a
month or more less than year.

Washington.

There has been bit of IA stir in political
circles during the week over the removal
of Judge Vincent from the office of Chief
Justice of New Mexico, to which he had
lately been appointed, because he had cho,
sen the notorious Stephen W. Dorsey one
of the commissioners to select jurors for
the IT, S. courts In the territory. AS impor.
tant land stealing operations, in which Dor
sey Is more or less involved, are likely to
come before these courts, this placing him
in position to select his own jurors had
bad look, and the President at once sus.
cended the Judge II is said in behalf OF
Judge Vincent, however, that Dorsey was
selected only to act on single jury, in a
court which could have nothing to do with
land cases and that the cutlery against his
selection was therefore causeless. The
President, however, seems to take dilTer.

been laboring with the Postmaster General
for a week or two to effect a change in the
