saving that it could not allow its col
umns to be used for an attack upon the

the supreme court and the executive

Immediately opened up fire against
Fielden, saving that the sympathy ex-
isting foY him was not well founded. In
his letter Mr.. Hotchkiss stated that at
the time of the verdict he hailed it in its
general,re ult with applause and salts
faction; but upon soberer thought, and
in the light Of the false and perjured
testi timony, as he styles it, of Fielden's
signaling the crowd to resist the police
and using a.revolver. he changed his
mind as to at least one of the cen
demned men, and thus pleads for
Fielden:
"Some of these Anarchists, especially
those who made or carried bombs,
doubtless deserve their doom. but in the
name of God and humanity, let us not
even take chance of unjustlv sending
to the scafold man like Fielden, who
evidently has spent his life in unseltish
sacrifice for the good of his fellow men,
I for one, and say it solemnly,, would
rather stand on the scafo'd and share
his death than live a citizen OF Chicago,
asserting to it. | ask every citizen TO
look into this matter and see whether
he wants this mans blood on his gar
ments, 1t will be there on the gar
ments of every one of us who does not
raise voice against it if that man dies
that infamous death"
Here is an honest man who. although
not workingman himself, has taken
pains to examine the case and the evil
dence upon which those mems lives
have been placed in jeopardy. He ad-
mits he regarded the verdict, at the
time, as just, but examination proved to
him that perured testimony had accom- :
plished whatever the prejudiced jury
could not accomplish. and therefore he
asks "eyery citizen to look into this
matter" Wi.y do not -workingmen do
for their felIow-workingmen IN trouble
what even this man of wealth asks his
class to do-look into the mater?
The cowardly silence of the working
men and labor papers, while those inno-
cent men sstand in such danger, is as
disgusting as it is ungratefal. Those
men are In the shadow of the gallows
because they dared to raise their voices
against our common oppressors. They
had the courage to "denouncs the des-
poilers of labor, and shall we when cap
talistic laws" seek to strangle them
therefor stink like coward ours end not
lift our voices in no uncertain tone tell
ing the shvlock strangers that those
men are our friends and we will not see
them murdered2 2
Let every true comrade who reads
this use his best efforts to have resolu-
tons passed, in any labor organization
to which he may belong, in behalf at
least of executive clemencY, for the
comrades in Chicago.

LAST week the Chicago Tribune gave
minute description of the wounds
made by the havmarket bomb, stating
that sentimentalists we're losing sight of
those painful matters and needed q re,
minder, else they would sympathize too
much with the prisoners. The Tribune
does not comprehend the growing feel
ing in favor of the condemned men.
The horrors of the event are admitted !;
there is no need to recall them. The
change of opinion is in regard to whether
the eight men are the parties to be pun
ished. AS the meeting was peaceable,
the policemen were victims of Bonfeld.
But the prisoners did not use the bomb
that defended their right to free speech,
and would probably have thought it
prudentto disperse. This view will
probably prevail.

He L. Emily Satisfied

New YORK, Nov. 3.-When, late. last
nignt. it was made known at the head
quarters of the Central Labor Union that
Henry George was defeated the crowd
there assembled gave voice to express
sions of disgust. Mr.. George came into
the hall at II o'clock, and mounting a
table, he addressed his supporters, say
ing that he felt prouder than If he held
in his hand the official returns making
him president of the United States.
Their devotion to the great cause was
shown aud he felt certain that under a
fair count of the ballots he would be the
next mayor of New York.
"1f the official returns do not give me
that Office" The said, :'it is because of the
money and intimidation used, and of
the rum shops of the state, and the na-
tional administration, and of an unscru-
pulous press the unreasonable fear of
the ignorant rich, and deg radiation of the
miserable poor. What we sought we ac-
complished by bringing principle into
politics"
de went on to say "And l congrat.
ulate you on one of the greatest of vic.
tories that we have won. Thank God
We have demonstrated the political
power of labor. Never again will the
politicians look upon the labor move
ment with contempt. You men who
have worked night and day wit,ont q
penny, know under what disadvantages
this struggle has been made. You know
what enthusiasm has enabled us to do
this. If this Is toe beginning, what will
be the end? / thank you from the hot
tom OF my heart, for feel prcuder than
IL you had given me the highest Office in

Last Saturday night Miss Carrie
Sanborn, teacher of our school as
sisted by her scholars aud friends,
gave free exhibition, it being the
closing exercises of the first term of
school ever taught in York town
ship. Although the night was
dark and rainy the house was filed
beyond its seating capacity and it
was IA entertainment that many Of
larger places might feel proud of.
Each one went home feeling well
paid for their evenings work. Miss
Sanborn at the beginning of her
term offered prizes to each scholar
that would not miss a day of school
during the term. Edith and Carrie
Potter winning the prize. A prize
was also offered to the one leaving
off head in the first spelling class,
Carrie Potter and Bertha Sanborn
being a tie so each one received a
prize. Another prize was also offer
ed to the new beginners who would
learn the multiplication table so
they could not be puzzled the last
day, Carrie Potter was the only one.
Miss Sanborn has proved herself be-
yond the expectation of all to be an
excellent teacher with young schol-
ars. We never saw q lot of little
scholars make any more progress
during term than they have here
this summer.
S. l.. Potter is now the sole owner
of a young grist mill and is prepar-
ed to grind all kinds of feed.
The twisting bee at Mr.. Bennet's
was a pleasant gathering, the boys
made a nice pile of twists and Mrs.
Bennett gate all bountiful supper
and plenty of room to dance.

the supposed existence Of plantinum de-

varying from the size of shot 10 pieces
