Anarchists. 1t was impossible to
get any estimate of the number OF
the latter whe we're killed or wound
ed, but from the number Of forms
which lay on the ground the esti-
mate can be placdd at a high figure,
and they were being crammed into
the Desplaines street station house
as fast as the officers could handle
them, and those whose wounds were
more serious were taken to the hos
pital.
Nearly every saloon on Madison
street, within two or three blocks of
Desplaines street, had two or three
rioters to care for. Very few of the
fellows would give their names. One
man had four bullet holes in him
in the back, face, thigh and foot
and, with the blood streaming from
him, he was a horrible sight. Drug
stores along Madison street were be-
set with men seeking medical treat
ment, but. owing to the general ter
ror, most of the stores refused to
receive them.
A sad incident OF the hospital

them startled out of the beds by the
portentous boom of the death-deal-
ing shell, came to claim their dead

A Grand Monument.

At last there is to be a National L.
brary worthy of the name. Senator
Voorhees, labor of six years to pass a
bill appropriating money for building
fit for so grand an enterprise was the
other day crowned with success. Al
though always a member of the minor
ity in the Senate, he has been kept az
the head of the committee in order that
his zeal and interest in the subject
should be secured for the project. The
bill has passed the Senate several times,
but always heretofore been lost in the
House. The design of the building
will allow space for three million vol
umes, though room for only one million
will be secured at present. When com
plete, the edifice will rival the Capitol
in size. When the Smithsonian Insti-
tute shall outgrow its demands It's col
lectiOns also will probably obtain larger
and finer shelter, until this country
shall have institutions rivaling the
British Museum and the imperial IL
braries and institutes of the continent.
Appropriations for purposes of this
sort would make far noblcr monuments

The Nation Yet Lives.

a Strange Anomaly.

The report that considerable num-
Der of Senators on both sides of the
| Chamber are N favor of doing away
with secret executive sessions will lead
to the hope that MIR. Pratt's resolution
/ looking in that direction viii pass.
This resolution is SO moderate that it is
difficult to see why it should encounter
any opposition whatever. 1t leaves
the whole matter in effect to the dis
erection of the Senate. Indeed, herein
consists the danger that it may prove
ineffective. Secret sessions may be
resumed whenever the Senate thinks
it advisable. But it is valuable in that
it breaks up the superstition which
hedges the antiquated absurdity now in
vogue, and once a departure is effected
it will not be long before the practice
shall have entirely disappeared. The
general good sense of the body may be
trusted so far.
1t is even said that Mr.. Edmunds is
in favor of some modification of the
present system. His difficulty. or
rather his defeat, in bringing his party
into thorough submission to his COM
mittee will not prove an unmiXed evil if
it leads him to support this movement.
The general sentiment Of the people
Of both parties is altogether in favor of
progress in this respect. Open sessions
would certainly help Senators to arrive
at true realization of their response
bility to the people. And they would
increase the dignity of the body by
doing away with the strange anomaly
of calling certain of its meetings secret
sessions, while they are invariably re-
ported with especial fullness in the
newspapers of the following day. BY
all means let the people know openly
and honestly how their business is
transacted in the Senate Washington

The Man from Maine.

The sly statesman from Maine has
evidently no notion of allowing the
tail of the last Presidential ticket to
arrogate superiority over the head.
His friends in the Senate sat down on
Logan during the army debate. pooh
poohed his services and ridiculed his
reiterated recitals of what he had
done for his country. The Colorado
Senator, whose management of the De-
partment of the Interior, during the
last Administration, gave such COM
fort to the land grabbers, event for
the Illinois General in a very uncom-
promising manner, sarcasticaily re-
marking that he had yet to learn that
services in the field especially qualified
man for Legislative functions. Poor
Logan was dunbfcunded at the I'M
masking of the Blaine batteries, and
plaintively asked why he should be at
tackled. He should have addressed a
note of inquiry to Augusta, Maine
Albany argus.

The Old Musty Republican idea of Secret
Sessions Giving Place to More EnIight-
ened Views.
1t really begins to look as if we
should soon see the last OF the Sena-
torlal star chamber humbuggery.
Even Mr.. Edmunds is thought to be
about ready to back down. The fulfil
ity of all efforts to keep importan:
proceedings secret has discouraged
him; and rather than continue the
farcical performance of closing the
doors only TO have Senators them
selves carry reports to the press, he
may join those who advocate the
abolition of executive sessions That
would be creditable step. But, ap-
parently, the movement can succeed
without his aid or favor. Mr.. Plat 5
resolution has been gaining support
ers. Old, musty ideas about the
necessity of shutting out the pub
lie when certain matters are being
considered. have gradually disap-
peared. They, in fact, belong to the
distant past-to the early days of

Government was hardly so near the
people as it is to-day. All proceedings
of the Senate were held in secret until
1898, though there was much opposition
to the custom. The doors were first
thrown open when Albert Gallatin' 5
right to seat in the Senate was under
discussion. The argument in favor of
publicity. says Losing, was the due
enforcement of the responsibilities of
the Senate and its individual members to
the people, which secret debates tended
to diminish; the prevention of those
jealousies naturally aroused by secret
legislation; and the greater confidence
which publicity would inspire. These
reasons for conducting legislative bust
ness with open doors are good now as
arguments for keeping the doors per-
manently open, and publishing all the
proceedings as the proceedings of the
House are published. Old fogics
among Senators can not long retain
the precious privilege of clearing the
galleries and bringing out the little
brown jug. The custom is out of date.

MEAN PARTY SPIRIT.

Mr.. Ingalls, Speech Unworthy of Rep
resentative of Liherty-Loving Kansas.
1t must be a source of poignant grief
to American citizens who decline to
support unfit candidates for Office, al
though nominated by the party to
which they belong, that Mr.. ingalls,, 4
Republican Senator from Kansas,
thinks that they are politically Meth er
men nor women, and announces his
opinion in such vivid terms, according
to the reports, that ladies fly from the
galleries and Republican Senators roar
with laughter. On the other hand. it
can not be altogether pleasant for Re-
publicans who remember that Repub-
licanism in Kansas once meant a great
and earnest conflict for freedom and
the rescue of the Union from the slave
power to perceive that Republic
anism i'll Kansas, rs illustrated
by Mr.. ingalls,, has dwindled
into a vulgar sheer at political
independence and manliness and
honesty, and ridicule of reform in the
civil service. The TRADE of Mr.. In
gals against political independence
was but a feeble echo of Mr.. Conk-
ings picturesque gibes at ''Jayhawk-
ers and skirmishers between the lines"
But some Republicans perhaps ask
themselves whether even MIR. COnk-
ling's gibes in the height of his polit-
ical power and of the unquestiOned SUI
premacy of the Republican party,
although loudly cheered as the blows
of a great practical statesman pulver-
izing the Miss Nancys and and the
Sunday-schOOl prigs of politics, were
really serviceable to the party, or
whether the Republican jeers Of 1884
at purists and Pharisees and super
celestial essences for whom no earthly
party is good enough were really CT
