The reputable citizens Of Chicago are de-
termined to no longer submit to the
dictation of the thieves and gamblers Of
the city, and have organized aVlgiance COM
mittee 10 defend their rights. The move
ment is one that ought not to be taken ex-
cept as a last resort, but apparently Chicago
has about reached that condition when jus
tice is only TO be had by force. The thieves
and gamblers are banded together, and are
backed by the mayor and the police. The
recent election demonstrated pretty clearly
that 1t vas impossible to wrest the city from
their control without first overawing them
with at least show of force. The move
ment 10 exsmine into HarTison's election
has met with threats of resistance from the
lawless classes whose pet he is, and decent
citizens have come to the conclusion that I'M
less they are always to remain in subsection
to repeaters and ballot box suffers they
must be ready to oppose force with force.

The silver men are not content to wait
until next winter to renew their fight for
their faVorite metal, but are bringing pres
sure to bear on the President to remove
Mint Director Burchard. The charge against
BurchaId is that he diecriminates against
silver in his reports, and that he exaggerates
the yield Of silver in order 20 depreciate that
metal. There is little probability of their
securing bis removal on any such charges as
these. The President knows that desperate
fight with the silver fanatics of his party is
to come next winter, and meanwhile he is
not foolish enough 10 give them any vantage
ground.

The Rev. Mr.. Pearson Of the Gospel Mis-
sion has organized what he calls a Gideon's
Band, the aVowed purpose OF which is to
"lay over'' the Salvation Army in the matter
OF attractions. This band is composed of
twenty-five men aud women, who sit on the
platform. Each man holds in bis hand a
toy trumpet, and each woman pitcher with
some beans in it. Mr.. Pearson himself
plays on a policeman's rattle. When he
strikes up on the rattle the men and women
join in on the trumpets and pitchers. Mr..
Pearson thinks he has got something which
beats the bass drum and tambonrines of
the Hallelujah Army, and we are inclined
TO think so too. Just how much efficacy
there is in this method of awakening relig-
ions sentiment remains to be seen.

The relations between Russia and Eng
land SO far as the public is permitted to OBJ
serve remain unchanged. England is wait
ing for confirmation or denial on the part of
her officers in Afghanistan of Gen. Koma-
roff's account of the recent fight at Penjdeh.
If Komsroffs allegation that the Aighans
were the aggressorsis confirmed there will be
a chance for further negotiations. If On the
other hand it appears that the fight at Pen-
jdeh was brought on by the Russians it is
difficult to see how the English can refrain
from declaring war forth With, especially if
the reports that Russia has made further
strategic movements since that collision
prove true. To delay further would eimply
be given Russia more time to concentrate
troops in Afghanistan and place the Eng
lish at greater disadvantage.
