An Anarchist Meeting.

CHICAGO, May 24.-An unkempt looking
crowd OF anarchists, containing sprinkling
of Socialists and few peacesbly inclined
workmen, held au open air meeting on the
lake front to day, at which the speeches
made were of the usual incendiary
character. The speakers remarks were re-
ceived with applause until one of them
took occasion TO abuse Abraham Lincoln,
whom he denounced as a hypocrite. This
incensed a number OF workmen, who Kissed
the speaker and ordered him to get down.
The workingmen pushed forward and forced
him from his platform. In the tumult
which followed, nobody was hurt, and after
order had been restored, the meeting was
allowed to proceed.

this Dolphin business is getting ssriouv,"
says the New YORK Herald, and further re.
marks: There is a wild report about town
that Secretary Whitney intended to ask Mr..
Roach to send the Dolphin to sea. Surely
the Gcretary would not be so cruel as that.
Mr.. Roach has kept the Dolphin in the
smooth water of the Sound so far. Is it
quite fair to ask him to send her to sea?
Will not Mr.. Roach ask the Secretary to go
along? Atany rate, If Mr.. Roach consents
he had better provision her for six months"
Perhaps the Dolphin was not intended ito
60 to sea-" Perhaps 1t is one OF the old
tricks to get money out of the Treasury, so
frequent during the reigns OF Robson and
Chandler.

IN an admirable editorial critique upon
Victor Hugo, the Chicago Tribune says:
"During bis life in Paris he has been almost
worshiped by Parisians, from the gamins and
lowest rabble of the Commune to the high
est circles. He had such wide range of
sympathies, such an impatient and enthusi-
astio hatred of oppression, such large in
terest in the strivings Of all people toward
freedom, that he commended himself to all,
Though his warm impulses often carried
him to point where he condoned danger.
Gus o ffenses. He was Radical in poll ticr.
q Liberal in thought, and q humanitarian in
everyday practice. Great men are not so
plenty in France to day that such giant as
Victor Hugo can be spared. His death
leaves shadow behind it all the darker that
the remaining lights glimmer so fesbly in
comparison with the illumination he shed
on ell around him."

The New York Times says that the reply
given by Mr. Lothrop to the charges of the
New York Tribune is conclusive" at
appears that Mr.. Lothrop had not the
slightest knowledge of certain facts which
were afterward disclosed. He was retained
by the President OF the bank. Mr.. Tiletson,
and he has always supposed that his en-
ployer did not know at the time that part
OF the money had been paid thirteen years
before to an attorney of Detroit. The whole
matter was thoroughly discussed and settled
a quarter of a century ago in Michigan,
where Mr.. Lothrop needs no defense. That
toe miserable attack made upon him in this
city has excited the indignation OF men Of
both parties there is shown by the action
taken yesterday in the Michigan Legislature,
where resolution denouncing the slanderer
was introduced by a Republican and passed
by unanimous vote in both houses"

that dissatisfaction existed in many of the

hours which the men were required to work.
One of the probable results of the conven-

mand for higher wages and shorter days

n anded by the union.

THE VALUE OF vERACITY.

Whenever we found in the Bourbon Re.
publican organs of the straight bloody-shirt
grade any outrageously improbable story
from Washington concerning Mr.. Cleveland
or members of his Cabinet we would seek for
the version OF the Washington correspond
ent of the st. Louis Republican. We did not
know who he was, but he was never known
as the manufacturer OF the stupendous and
stupid stories that so frequently have
been telegraphed from Washington to the
Bourbon Republican organs of the West
1t now gives us pleasure to put on record
the estimate of this correspondent referred
to, as we find it in special to the CONNER
cisl Gazette dated the odd:
Mr.. Edward Fleming. long a prominent Wash
ineton correspondent, leaves N the morning TO
take the position of managing editor of the Buff
falo Courier. lie has been the correspondent OF
that paper, OF the ST. Louis Republican and the
Detroit Post for several years. He has been
throughout his service here most careful writer.
He is one of the best informed men on tho press
in regard 10 national affairs. BE was for many
years the correspondent OF the Journal OF Com
merce aud other Eastern financial journals, and
he was recognized authority here on questions
relating 10 the Treasury, the banks and the rev.
enues. He IL gentleman of liberal education
and OF great personal worth. and Is q man OF very
marked ability. bis associates here part with him

men of like reputation to look after their

HERE are q few items that came over the
wires day or two ago that need repr oduc-
ton occasionally. Secretary Manning says
that the records of the New York Custom
House on file at the Treasury Department
show gradual, but decided, reduction in
the expense Of conducting the business of
at Office. The pay roll for the month of
October, 1884, amounted to $256,000. The
pay roll for the month of April, 1885,
amounted to S2l4 900. The pay roll for the
month of May, 1885, just received at the De-
partment, amounts to $4,000. or $1,000
ess than for the month OF April and 900
ltss than for the month of October last.

telegraphers are making extensive prepare

steps will be taken to unite and strengthen
the Telegrapbers' Protective Union for the
purpose, as has been expressed in . circular
letter, of "bracingu up against Mr.. Jay Gould
and his fellow. monopolists." There is q
great deal OF mystery attending the arrange

action OF the convention. Mr.. Taitavall,
