THE expressions of sympathy with the Chi
cage Anarchists are having their effect in one
way, at least The Arbeiter Zeitung, of that
city, the organ of the Anarchists, contained
an editorial on Saturday in which it said:
Fright here it may be plainly said that we
consider the bomb throwing justified; it was
necessary act The police committed high
treason in attempting to break up in violent
fashion a peaceful meeting of citizens. 1t is
now known that the police marched to the Hay
market for the purpose of exterminating So
cialists; had not the bomb been thrown, to-
day, in place of eight police, hundreds of use
full citizens, women and children, would be
lying dead. What will become of the rights
of the citizens of this land when the latter fall
and leave them unprotected, to be tyrannized
and abused by horde of hirelings?"
A queer version this of the doctrine of uni
versal justice, which sentimental sympathizers
with the Anarchists say they are aiming to
establish. Bomb-throwing justified, the po
lice who enforce the law guilty of high treason,
and Anarchists useful citizens whose rights
are imperiled by horde of hirelings Per-
haps this astounding article had mething to
do with the organization of the Patriot League
on Saturday afternoon.

THE ANARCHIST RECORD.
Immovable Facts That Disprove the Charge
that the Trial Was Unfair.

Chicago News.
There are two points upon which the sympa-
thizers with the condemned Anarchists impeach
the justice of their sentence, which constitute
the only basis for the appeal for reversal of
the verdict These are that the jury was chosen
in prejudice and passion to convict Spies and
his associates and that the entire prosecution is
outrage upon the right of peaceable assem-
blage and free speech Both of these claims are
directly contrary to facts, which should be
fresh in the minds of every citizen, that it is
amazing that any one should have the audacity
to make them or that others should be found to
believe them. But, proceeding on the theory
that a lie well stuck to is stronger than the
truth weakly maintained, the friends OF anarchy
try to OUTAGE the truth with Justification of
the record
But upon these two points the record stands
immovably fixed in the report of the examina
jury was drawn and in the circular calling for
the meeting of May 4. An examination of the
transcript of the examination of the jurors
shows that, of the twelve chosen, eight were
first approved by the defense after the closest
scrutiny, and with fifty of its peremptory chal-
lenges uneXhausted; three were first approved by
the State and afterward accepted by the defense,
which, when the eleventh mar was accepted,
had still fortythree peremptory challenges at its
disposal: and the twelfth juror, III. L. Sanford,
was chosen after the defense had purposely ex
hausted its peremptory challenges, against its
objection overruled by the COURT The following
table tells the whole story of how the jury was
chosen and how little truth there is in the charge
that it was packed for the State;

HENRY WARD BEEcHER presided at free
trade banquet in Brooklyn, few nights ago,
and in his speech said that, "while he was not

him." Mr.. Beecher is nothing if not illogical.
If he approves the Henry George movement,

In these days, when the real test Of a mans
greatness is his ability to draw will which
his heirs cannot pull to pieces, it is worth
while to note that the will of the late Pres
ident Arthur is a model one, evidently saying
just what it means, and meaning just what it
says, and so briefly and clearly, withal, that
there is no danger Of any one trying to set it
aside. In this respect Mr.. Arthur's will is in
marked contrast to that of the late Mr. Til
den Mr.. Arthur did not pose before the
world as the greatest statesman Of his time,
nor as the only lawyer who could draw up
document so binding that all other lawyers
combined could not break it, but it seems he
could draw Will that will hold water. while
the whispering sphinx of Gramercy Park
could not or. at least. did not.

THE PATRIOT LEAGUE.

When Anarchists organize it is time for
friends of law and order to do So The wide
liberty not to say license, enjoyed under our
government gives large latitude for the organ
izaton of the dangerous classes and for the
promotion of their movements by secret as
we'll as public combinations. Proof of this is
furnished by the recent activity of the
Anarchists in Chicago and New York, by the
outspoken sympathy with them of numerous
Socialist societies, by the appearance of new
Socialist lecturers in the field and by the bold
expressions of Anarchist agitators generally.
Destructionists are always more active and
aggressive than conservatives, and there is
some reason to fear that the enemies of law
and order are better organized than are the
friends-not nearly so numerous, but better
organized for specific purposes. 1t seems
appropriate that a COMMENCEMENT should
have its origin at the head center of anarch-
ism. A dispatch from Chicago, published in
the Journal of yesterday, announced the
organization in that city of movement to
their teachings. The organization is called
the Patriot League-the name itself being
exclusive of law breakers and law-haters of
all kinds. Officers were elected and declara-
ton of the objects of the League was adopt
ed, from which we quote the following para
graph:
''To oppose anarchism, socialism, commun-
ism, Mormonism and despotism Of all kinds,
and all kindred social and political heresies
that tend to destroy the peace of society, the
authority Of government, the sanctions of law.
the rights of property, the liberty of the eti-
zen and the sacredness of the family; and to
serve due notice on Anarchists, Socialists,
and all similar lists and 'sms,' that human
liberty, as represented aud protected by Ameri-
can free institutions, has cost too much, ard
is too valuable and too sacred to allow it to be-
overthrown, undermined endangered or desc
Grated by foreign agitators, and revolution
lists, and demagogues Of any creed or descrip-
ton"
This is admirably put, and, taken in connec-
ton with the other declared objects of the
League-to support the Constitution, defend
law and order, and aid in disseminating sound
views on political and social questions-makes
platform on which every good citizen can
stand. The Patriot League should be made a
general organization. The Anarchists, or So
cialists under different names, have their
clubs and societies in all the large cities. At
every such point there is field and mission
for the Patriot League. It is needed in this
city, where Socialist lecturers find approving
listeners, and where, only a few nights ago,
society composed Of foreigners, and with a
foreign name, expressed decided sympathy
with the Chicago convicted Anarchists, and
demanded for them a new trial Wherever
the enemies of law and ORDER under any guise
or name, have an organization (and in what
city of any size have they not?) there is work,
or likely to be, for thePatriot League. 1t will

rant about the unfairness Of the trial had by

dams. After detailing the operations OF General
Crook and relating the incident of the death of
Captain Crawford, the Secretary states the fact
of the surrender of Geronimo, and proceeds as
follows:
The fact of the surrender was communicated TO the
President and the authorities in Washington Sept
z and from the information received that date tbs
surrender was supposed TO be unconditional. To
this dispatch the President replied that ali the hosties
should be very safely kept prisoners until they
could be tried for their crimes otherwise disposed
Of The first intinlation that the surrender not
unconditional reached the department Sept. 3, by
telegraphic advces from General Miles, through his
division commander that the Indians surrendered with
ne understanding that they you'd be sent out OF the
country and in pursuance of this plan General Miles
bad ordered them to be taken to Fort Marion. As
this was in direct opposition TO the Presidents or
ders General STANLEY was directed from the War De-
partment to stop these Indians at San Antonio, Tex
and hold them securely until further orders

said that he believed at first from official reports that

should be spared, and that they should be sent to
Fort Marion, where their tribe including their fam,

On the 25th of September General Miles was d-
rected by the President to report by telegraph the
act promises if any made to Geronimo ut the time Of
the surrender. In his reply General Miles states
