Some Further Excerpts from Parsons Six
Hours Harangue.


Do you think, gentlemen of the prosecution,
are carrying my lifeless bones to the potter's
field? Do you think that this trial will be set
tied by my strangulation and that OF my col
leagues? tell you that there is greater YER
dict yet to be heard FROM The American people (,
will yet have something to say about this attempt
It is proposed by the prosecution here to take
me by force and strangle me upon the gallows
for these things have said, for these express
sions. Now, your Honor, force is the last resort;
it is the last resort of tyrants it is the last
sort of despots, of oppressors, and he who
not. believe as he would have him, he who would
destroy another because that other will not do
as he says, that man is q despot and a tyrant,
and unworthy to live. Now, your Honor. speak
plainly; Ispeak as an anarchist; speak as d
socialist; speak as wage slave, a working
man. Now, does it follow because hold these
views that I committed this act ut the Hay
market?
My own deliberate opinion concern ng this
Haymnrket affair is that the death dealing
monopoly-th act of those who themselves
charge us with the deed am not alone in this
view of this matter. What are the real facts
Of that Haymarket tradgey? Mayor Har-
rison, OF Chicago, has caused to DO pub
nshed his opinion, in Which he says: 4
ton on the part of Spies and those mon to
have bombs thrown at the Hav1narket" He
knows more about this thing than the jury that
sat in tl..s ~ IL. for he knows-I suspect that
the Mayor h.l,.>, s-of some of the methods by
which some of this evidence and testimony
it, your Honor, but possibly he has had some in
timation of it, and if he has he laows more
about this case and the merits OF this case than
did the jury who suit here. ...

Arcller's Timber Legs.

From the Chicago Herald.
'The most peculiar thing ever no.
ticed about Jockey Fred Archer" said
All old English sport recently, "was
the deliberation with which he settled
himself in his saddle. 1t rarely took
him less than five minutes to get his
position, but when he did get settled
there wasn't a horse on the continent
that could shift him. Archer had pc
culiar legs. They we're abnormally
long from the knee to the ankle, and
wonderfully elastic. These legs stood
Archer in good stead in O. hard race.
With his knees pressed dead against
the paniers OF his saddle he could re-
move his feet from the stirrups, and,
curling that portion of his legs below
the knee high upon the TANKS of his
nag, rake the flesh with his s:eels.
Archer was the only jockey in the
world who could perform this feat. 1t
was seldom that he chose to do it, but
when he did you could rest assured
that the race was for blood The dead
Jockey won many ahard- fought battle
in this manner. / have seen his feet
suddenly leave the stirrups when he
was being hard pressed near thejudge's
stand, and then watched his horse
spring to the frontas the glittering steel
to the wiry legs ofhis rider sank deep in
to the flesh. No, sir; Archer didn't seem
to have bone in his legs from the
knee down. They were as supple as
willow twigs."

POISONED WHISKY.

A Wholesale Dealer Dlscloses Some
( Secrets OF the Trade.
- There is not one saloon in fifty in
this city where you can get drink of
pure whisky. will make it stronger.
Forty-nine out of every fifty liquor
dealers are selling whisky which is
neither more nor less than poison. I
would not drink it, sir. I would not
allow dog to drink it."
This remark, says The Pittsburgh
Press. was made by a reputable whole
sale liquor man to reporter. He is
ready, he says, to substantiate his
statement by proof that can not be de-
MED.
''You do not mean to say that I can
not get good whisky in a fine saloon
where I am charged Is cents a glass?'
inquired a bystander in amazement.
Il will make no distinction between
fine saloons and the holes in the wall
They all handle the same kind of
goods. The cheap saloons may use
little more water in their whisky, but
it contains no more poison than that
which you purchase in saloon where
oil paintings adorn the walls and high
priced mirrors set off to an advantage
fancy bar-tixings. It is all the same
Fancy saloons must make plenty Of
money in order to meet their expenses.
"A law should be passed prohibiting
the certifcation that makes five bar
rels out of one. Some whisky is put
through a certain process whereby q
large quantity of fusel oil is taken out.
This whisky is purchased by rectifers,
who will draw, perhaps, all out of a bar
rel but five gallons, fill up with cologne
spirits, large percentage of which is
fusel oil, and then add drugs to give it
the proper color and taste. was in
the rectifying room of wholesale
house few days ago. I saw the COM
FOUNDER put several ounces of carbolic
acid in barrel of stuff he had COM
pounded and called whisky. This was,
he said, for the purpose of giving it a
head, make it sparkle, sharp, biting.
A barrel of this whisky contains
enough fusel oil to kill half dozen
men. I would just as willingly take a
small dose of poison as drink glass of
it. Step into saloon and take glass
of this vile stuff and you will feel the
evil results before you cross the thres-
hold. 1t acts directly upon the brain,
and is keenly fels throughout the sys-
tenn. Men who drink any amountof it
become wild, lost to their better judy
ment and reason, and are scarcely re-
sponsible for what they do. Besides,
they are being slowly poisoned to
death. Young men are stunted in their
vigorous growth, and the energies Of
older men are. wasted. A law which
allows men to mix up poison and sell
it simply for the purpose Of making
money should be repealed. This
whisky often finds it's way into sick
chambers, and the results can be imag

IAN old liquor man stated to me a
