THE action of the Chicago Trades Assembly,
in voting by an overwhelming majority not to
permit Socialists, or Anarchists, as such, to
participate in their annual parade, is creditable
to them. A few of these Socialists are prob
ably honest, hard working men and women,
but the great majority of them are restless ad-
venturers, at war with law and order, and
wholly unfit for a place in American citizen
ship. Real working men have, for the most
part, kept themselves free from the baleful
influences of these chronic grumblers and mail
contents, and to their great gain, since they
never yet have yielded to their leadership
without vast harm to themselves and to So
ciety. Anarchists have no place in a popu-
lar, free government like this, and
they are the enemies more Of the workingmen
than of any other class of people. The

Mr.. Douglass's pew is diagonally opposite Mr..

think it would have been far more seemly had

THE indianapolis Sentinel is distressed in
its mind because the Journal published a
statement hat Senator Blackburn. of Ken
lucky. had had a misunderstanding with the
President. To ease it in some degree we give
it a little Democratic authority on the sub
ject. The New York World of Monday says:
at is probably a newspaper exaggeration to
say that Senator Joseph Blackburn called
upon the President the other day and read the
riot act to him. Mr.. Blackburn is not in a
happy frame of mind, we believe, and when
he talks, people in the neighborhood manage
to catch the drift of his mind, but we canno
believe that he has been guilty of the impro-
priety of calling upon the President to lay
down his arms and dispense"
And the Louisville Commercial, independ-
emf, published at Senator Blackburn's home,
says yesterday: cit is reported that Senator
Blackburn has retired to his home, with the
determination to mind his own business until
the next meeting of Congress-" It is quite
evident, Mr.. Sentinel, that all is not lovely
between the President and the bluegrass
senator.
