THE ANARCHISTS.

The granting of supersedeas by the
Illinois Supreme Court, In the case of the
Chicago Anarchists, who were sentenced
to be hanged on Friday of next week, OF
course has the immediate effect to postpone
the date Of their execution, as the case
must now go to the Supreme Court for re
view, the Court not meeting until March
next; and the postponement may be indef
in'ely prolonged, for it must take weeks to
dispose of it in the Supreme Court, OF il
may go over term or two, and end in or
dering a new trial, TO be followed by an.
other supersedeas, &c, &c. finally getting
into the |. 5. Courts, where such cases
have a way sometimes of becoming as
long lived as the famous Jalndyce VS..
Jarndyce case that Dickens has immortal.

These are possibilities, we mean ct
the expression of an opinion by Judge
Scott, as reason for granting the superse.

record" laid before him, is purely formal.
In a case of such magnitude, the granting
of an opportunity for review by higher

ing thousands of pages could be conscien.
tiously given though the Judge never read
a page of that record.
Should the Supreme Court of Illinois,
however, be disposed TO hasten the case
and promptly affirm the decision of the
Chicago Court, 1t would be required to fix
an early day for the execution and the final
act in the drama might take place as early
as in April next. Before that, however,
would come the long and strong pull to get
the case in the United Courts, and as it In.
wolves the great questions of freedom of
speech and of the press, tine aroma of ma

of the great hanging bee in the prison yard
at Chicago may be regarded as still far off
in the dim, hazy distance.

The appearance of Judge Pillsbury of the
Appellate Court of this District in our city
this week, moving about with the assistance
Of crutch and cane, recalls the fact only
briefly mentioned last week of the reversal
by the Supreme Court of the finding of the
lower court in his suit for damages against
the c. & A, railroad. Some years ago dur.
ing strike among the ore.shovelers Of the
Union Iron Works, Chicago, the company
employed non union men to take the place
of the strikers. The non .unionists got aboard
the C. s. A. train to return to Joliet, and while
leaving Chicago the train carrying them,
particularly the smoker, was attacked by
the strikers. In the melee, Judge Pillsbury
who was in the smoker was hurt. His claim
in the lower court was that in carrying their
men the company invited controve rsy be-
tween the two bodies of men, which was neg
ligence. Having lost in the lower court,
the railroad appealed; and in he opinion Of the
Court, after pointing out that in order to JUST
fly recovery in the case it must be shown
that the appellant was guilty of negli-
gence, and quoting what the law re quires of
common carriers, Judge Magruder says sub.
stantially that the non union working men
were as much entitled to seats in the train
as was the appellee, and that the railroad
company could not refuse to carry them
The duty Of protecting the citizens of the
state against large body of rioters rests
with the civil authorities, and not, as con-
tended, upon the railroad corporation, and,
as there was no evidence to show that the
appellant had any notice that this attack
would be made on its train, and nothing to
lead to the anticipation of such an attack, it
was clearly not responsible for injuries re-
ceived by any of its passengers by reason of
such riot.

order that each individual member shall

A new method of preserving fruit
is practiced in England. Pears, APP
piles, and other fruits are reduced to
paste, which is then pressed into
cakes and gently dried. When re-
qnlred for use it is only necessary to
pour four times their weight of boil
ing water over them, and allow them
to soak for twenty minutes, and then
add sugar to suit the taste. The fine
flavor of the fruit is said to be retain
ed to perfection. The cost of the
prepared product is said to be but
little greater than that of the original
fruit.
