A correspondent of the New York
Sun, who has just visited Chicago, and
who is very much impressed with the
energy and business of that great city,
and predicts magnificent future for
it, is nevertheless alarmed at the
strength of Socialis m and Communism
there. The socialists of Chicago are
stronger he says, and more desperate
than those of any American or Euro
pean city; the mob is we'll armed
drilled and dangerous. The absence
of energetic leaders and the plentiful
abundance of work, which keep the
Chicago proletariat always busy, and,
therefore, out of mischief, have alon e
prevented trouble. The constant tear
ing down and building up of the city, the
never ending commercial and industrial
movements there, have kept the work
ingmen of Chicago always employed,
while those of other cities have been
idle; but should business slacken, or
money become tight, or anything else
occur to cause suffering among the
poorer and Communistic people, "the
wealthy inhabitants of Chicago will
then have much to fear from the dan
gerous classes" is the opinion of the
Suns ORE spondent.

fact that there were a number of con-
testing companies from the west and
northwest. The Judges were army Of

A letter from Mexico says the power
ty of the country may be traced direct
ly to the slovenly system of farming
which prevails. The agricultural re-
sources are enormous. Though only
one-fifth of the best land in the great
plateau is under cultivation it supports
millions of people with a style of farm
ing that would produce starvation in
the best sections of New York or Penn
sylvania. The Mexicans sole concep.
ton of the utility of blowing is to
scratch up enough loose dirt to cover
the seed; in the great majority of cases
the ground is never touched aft er plant
ing.

Death Of Victor Hugo.

Victor Hugo, was dying in Paris at last ad-
vices. Victor Marie Hugo, the greatest French
poet and novelist of the present generation, was
born in Besancon Feb 36, 1872 Being the son
of all officer whose military duties called HIM
out OF France, he was carried in childhood to
Elba, Corsica, Switzerland and Italy, and in
1909 to Paris. At the age of twenty he pub
lished his first volumn of "Odes and Ballads,
which created a sensation Two novels, "Han
d'Islande" 1929 and Bug -Jargal" QS25),
showed his force and originality in prose, also
his pre- Election for the horrible andmonstrous
which permcates his greater works.
Having reached the highest distinction in
literature in lS41, election to the French Acade-
my, in spite of the opposition of the old clas-
steal school, he INDUCED in political aspira-
tions which we;e gratified by King Louis Phil
ippe i'll 1915, who made him peer Of France
In 1856 he published "Les CONCENTRATIONS :"
in 1859, "La Legende DIES Sieclee," and in 1862,
@Les Miserables," the latter simultaneously in
nine languages and eight cities "Les Miser-
a5les" is unquestionably his most popular if
earnest friend of the laboring class, and on
several occasions delivered fervid public ad-
dresses on behalf of workingmen. Further
more, in accordance with his lifelong principles,
he was one of the strongest sympathizers
whose influence tho Irish people enjoyed in
their late struggle against the landlords, and
it was he whom Mr.. Parnell most eagerly
sought for advice and comfort at the time of
his visit to Paris in 1882, nor did he seek in
vain.

Conviction Of Dynamitsrs In London.

The trial of Cunningham and Burton was
brought to conclusion recently. The court
room was crowded, among the notables being
United States Minister Phelps. The prisoners
wore an anxious look and followed Judge
Hawkins charge with intense interest The
drift of the charge was clearly against the
prisoners The judge, after explaining the ma
ture of the charge against the prisoners, ana
lyzed the evidence calling the jury's attention
to the fact that Burtons statement was not
made under oath, and therefore entitled to
very little credence. The jury retired, and in
fifteen minutes returned with verdict of
guilty against both prisoners. The court at
once sentenced both to penal servitude for life.
The announcement was received by the spec
tators with applause. Cunningham maintained
his self-composure but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict was rendered When
asked why the sentence of law should not be-
passed upon them, Cunningham protested that
he was innocent He said he was willing to
accept penal servitude for life, but they could
not touch his soul Burton simply declared
he was innocent In sentencing the prisoners,
Justice Hawkins said they had been convicted
OF crime as bad, cruel and wicked as has
entered the heart of man. 1t could not be too
advisers could be inundated by any such
means. The humanity of those in charge Of
the prosecution alone prevented them from in
dieting the prisoners for high treason, on con-
viction of which their lives had been forfeited

while he was sentencing the prisoners.

The result of the experiments of in
incubation of cholera which are now 60
on in Spain will be awaited with inter-
est, tempered by considerable incredu-
iity. 1t is alleged that of the subjects
thus far treated all have entirely re-
covered, but the trial has not been suf-
fciently extensive to definitely prove
that innoculation is preventive of the
disease. If that fact shall be establish
ed, cholera will then be placed on the
plane with small pox; its epidemics
may be controlled, and its fatality
greatly lessened.

The Boston Advertiser shows that
the consumption of ardent spirits in the
United States is on the decrease, rs
compared with the growth of popula-
tion. This is largely due to an increase
in the consumption of less fervld, but
alcoholic beverages, such as beer and
wine, but it is also evident that total
abstinence is on the gain, and that the
cause of temperance is making pro-
gress, perhaps slow, but none the less
