SSOcTATED PRESS DISPi TCH ES
Charged with Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, Aug 30.-Louis Juhl, tailor,
living at No. SO West 18th street, Henry
Batzsll, stone mason, of No. $50, and Will
liam Kloth, cooper, OF No. 5SS, the same
street, were arrested yesterday and locked
up in the Human street station, charged
with conspiracy to do an unlawful act. The
capture was made by Lieut.. Shepard and
number Of officers, who went to the place
about noon, when all the mon were at home.
They made no resistance whatever and al.
lowed themselves to be taken to the station.
For some months past there has been con-
siderable talk in the neighborhood about
the three prisoners and their strange actions.
They are all known to be anarchists, and
were always on hand whenever Spies and
Parsons made speech or called meeting
Batzell, it is said, came to the country re-
Gently from Germany, and ever since his ar
rival he has been associated with the an
archiss in this city. Kloth has been here
longer. He owns cooper shop in the resr
Of his house, in which place he employed g
or ignorant Germans. The cooper shop
seemed to be the meeting place, for two or
three times each week number Of men
congregated and remained till nearly mid
night Some OF them carried mysterious
packages and vaisss, which are supposed
to have held dynamite or fire arms. 1t is
not yet CLAIR what the anarchists did inside
| the cooper shop, but from what various
neghbors say it would seem that they met
| to drill and talk over the USE of dynamite.
They finally became so bold during the re-
cent excitement that on one occasion seven
men were seen to leave the place about II
o'clock at night, each armed with rifle or
pistols. The mysterious meetings were car
ried on until the neighbors became suspicious
and informed the police of what was going
on. The Lieutenant watched the place and
became convinced that the meetings were
for no lawful purpose and that the men
were couspiring to destroy life and property.
Accordingly, o raid was determined upon.
The cooper shop aud the houses OF the three
men were throughly searched. No explo-
sives were found, but two full stands OF
Austrian pieces, swords and heavy Colts
Al calihre revolvers were found slowed
away in an ingenicusly devised compart-
ment in the ceiling. Juhl, KloLh and Bat
zel were asked to account for the presence
of this embryo arsenal in the cooper shop
and as they could give no plausible ex'
plauaion, they were locked up and charg-
cd with conspiracy to do an unlawful
act. Kloth openly avowed that he Tas an
anarchist, and admitted that he had to ny
from Berlin for that reason. He further
volunteered the information that he WAS q
staupch sympathiser of The convicted an
archists. The police claim that he was I'M
plicated in the Haymarket riot and was con-
fined in the Desplaines street station for 6
weeks but was finally discharged for want
Of evidence. The prisoners will have a
hearing to-day.

No WONDER Gov. st. John, General Neal
Dow, and other leading prohibitionists. have
entered the field against the republicans,
when Mr.. Blaine speaks of their party as he
does, and when his lieutenant, Senator
FRYE goes go far as to say that some OF the
prohibition leaders are "uublushing, impu'
dent scoundrels." That the prohibitionists
mean we'll nobody, so far as heard from, ex'
cept the republicans, entertains doubt.
The fact that the measures they support are
utterly inefficient is apparent to most all
sensible men with open eyes. But it is only
among republicans that they are denounced
az "impudent scoundrels."

TIE National Republican now says:

Interference of the central authority in
State elections robs the people of the sacred

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 80.

TIE PROTECTIVE tariff advocated by
Henry Clay, a prominent protectlonlst'
would be considered by the protectlonists
of the present day fiat free trade, and would
be highly acceptable to the modern tariff
reformers. But that even such mild
tariff as that was Objectionable to
man 80 imbued with the true spirit of dem
ocratic equality as Mr.. Clay, and was only
supported by him as temporary means OF
stimulating and fostering infant industries,
is demonstrated by the following extract
from one of his letters.
'sIn the origin of the protective policy, IT
was never supposed by me or by others, OF
it's friends, as far as know their views, that
it was to be permanent. We intended 1t 10
be temporary, 80 as to enable the American
manufacturers to get through their Infancy
and to maintain something like an equai
competition with foreigners. Ifasked at that
period whether we required a longer dura'
ton to the policy than the year lS4S, when
the compromise will take complete effect,
think no one would have demanded It,"
1913! And yet, in 1886, forty-three years
afterwards, tariff is not only operative, but
is even more oppreasively burdensome.

Rev. 5. Z. bishops Resignation.

Ed. 2. C.. ADVERTISER-Sir: May | pre-
sumo upon your courtesy to let me correct
a misstatement of fact about my dismissal,
in which your informant's memory, and
not mine, seems to be at fault. You say:
He was not interfered with, or remOn-
strated with, or in any shape or way led to
believe that his conduct was at all displeas-
ing to the Government"
In my tender of resignation l specified
two reasons q write from memory only.
one was, that from the date of my attack
upon the Lottery bill, was repeatedly as
sailed by the p G.. ADVERTISER in coarsely
derisive way (by former editor), and that
in the "Elele," which was considered more
peculiarly the Government organ, its con-
slant and violent abuse was accompanied
by direct assertions that ought to be dis
missed for SO interfering in politics. GER
tainly was thereby lied to believe that my
conduct was displeas ing to the Govern
ment."
My second reason specified was, that
shortly after my action the sum of $4,000
assigned in the Budget to the Survey Office
was cut down to $25, 600 Ct think). This
cyclone caused CONSERVATION among the
employees, and being the supposed Jonah
was bound to jump overheard
1 may possibly in this have been mis-
"led to believe" etc. 1t appeared to me
at the time, and does still, that it would
have been in better taste for the Minister
of the Interior to have conveyed his evil
dent wishes to me directly. Permit me to
disclaim any personal grievance against
the Government, whose members have
always treated me very well. was aware
of the natural consequences of my action,
and expected dismissal, which / agree with
you was called for, unless the Cabinet
meant to acknowledge grave error in pro-
noting the Lottery bill.
AS to being q martyr" / expected to do
well as a private surveyor, and have not
been disappointed. Of course at my age
one likes quiet billet, in good company
with no care about collecting his dues.
remained six months in the Office after dis
missal in order to finish indispensable
work. That my resignation was not really
voluntary, but enforced, may appear from
the fact that it was accepted against the
most energetic protests of the Surveyor
General. Respectfully,
S. E. BISHOP.
Honolulu, January n, 1886.
I'VE have been permitted to read the
record in this case, and still adhere to
our opinion. Mr.. Bishop must himself
/ clearly perceive the injustice of holding
a Minister of the Crown responsible for
what may appear without authority in a
newspaper. Unless he was called to ac-
count for his conduct by his official supe-
riors, he could afford to treat newspaper
attacks with indifference. He appears
to have been too sensitive for his own
peace of mind.-ED. P. c.. ADVERTISER.

member one item for material was charged
on the debit side instead of the credit
side. 1t was rectifed. To the best OF my
recollection the amount deducted was
either $148 or S17s. No, the amount was
not $3.50. One item was legal expenses and
costs. The Queen put it in my hands either
in May or June. Oakley suggested the bill

He stated to me his financial straits l
told him would get his money if Oakley
gave an order instead of a note. cannot
state the exact time when Portals first
came to see me. Mrs. Swan told me the
King had given a note to assist Oakley.
The prosecution rested here. Mr.. Dole
did not offer any evidence for the defense;
he would leave it with the Court whether
or not there were grounds for libel.
Mr.. Whiting moved for committal.
His Honor said prima facie case had
been made out. He should hold that the
language used would tend certainly to
bring man into odium, ridicule, etc. The
| only thing left for him to do was to COM
NIT the defendant to the Supreme Court.
The records of the case would be sent to
that Court at once, and it was left to the
authorities to fix the time for trial.
The defendant had to furnish a new bail
| bond in the sum of 81 ,OO2, which was signed
| by Messrs. w. R. Castle andeT. G. Thrum.
