crat, introduced bill in Congress a
few DAYS ago to place the lame of all

Tucker had abundant reason to believe

The appellate court of Chicago has
construed the anti-option gambling
act of Illinois TO mean that board OF
trade contracts, even if they appeared
to be for the actual sale and purchase
Of grain were TO be construed accord
ing to the intention of the parties, and
that if differences only were paid, the
contract became a gambling contract,
1t was intimated that the character of
a contract, as gambling contract or
otherwise, might be largely estab-
lished by implication and circumstan-
ces growing out of the settlement of a
succession of deals under it. This de-
cision again opens the door to strcnu-
Gus pleas of "the baby act" which had
been generally Intellectual in setting
aside board of trade contracts in The
lower courts.-CommoDwealth.

Judge Noonan, of ST. Louis, has
queer ideas about the suppression or
prevention ofcrime. In passing upon
case recently, where certain parties
were charged with instigaiing riot
and bloolshed. he decided that sit is
folly 10 create a scare by making CAPT
tal ont of the yaporings of a few men
who have peculiar views on social and
political questions; it is time enough
to prosecute when some overt act has
been committed" As rule, perhaps
the Judge is correct. The presump-
ton of law is that every man is inno-
cent until he is proven guilty of an
actual oflense. But this question of
anarchy Is not an ordinary one. The
right to bear arms is guaranteed 10
every citizen by the highest written
law: but what would be thought of an
officer of the law who would permit a
person TO 90 unrestrained while utter
ing vengeance against his fellows:
Such an off Ger would partake of the
crime. if crime should be committed.
SO il 10 in the case of anarchists. AT
their Haymarket meeting, in Chicago,
they claimed to exercise the right of
American citizens in meeting and pub
licly discussing such questions as they
chose. The police authorities knew
what the incendlary speeches of the
leaders would result i'm and went up
on the ground TO act simply as a re-
straint. The reading public are ia
miliar with the results. To prevent
such state of affairs as existed in Chi
cago the police officers of st. Louis
placed some of the anarchist leaders
of that city under restraint. 1t was
this action that called forth the cx-
preston of opinion from the judge
named. Fortunately for ST. Louis,
no outbreak has occurred there from
anarchist teaching, whether from
Hitihtt attioh Vi tifc PoiiNS- VI iao ~
the effects Of Judge Noonan's conserv-
alive views as expressed. Moral
suasion is good when wrong-doing
can be restrained thereby; but in en-
IRENE cases tufts of grass are not ef-
fectivc agents in bringing offenders to
terms. Anarchy as taught by the
leaders of that most dangerous doc
trinc must lead to fearful consequent
ces if left unchecked by police inter-
ference. We have no confidence in
such conservative policy as the 81.
Louis judge has adopted. Violent
diseases call for heroic treatment. An
anarchist outbreak is less liable TO oc-
cur in Chicago than ST. Louis, in our
opinion.

The New York court of appeals has
decided that railroad companies are
not responsible for the destruction OF
freight caused by strikes. In this the
court reversed the decision of the

pers will not in the future sympathize
with the strikers as much as they have

were o~ld-fashioned, gray OF had and
whlskers, and not In any way reinarka-
BILE to look at. The apartlD ent was the
private office of John jacob Astor, but
William was there, and seemingly domi-

ture was very heavy, but plain, and the
place suggested the preside nt's room IN
