THE CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
Mayor HarrisOn's Sensible Comment
ON Foolish Talk Of an ssUPrising."

CHICAGO, Jan. Is. The alleged plans and
preparations of the socialists of Chicago to put
some of their theories into practice, as published
yesterday, have occasioned considerable COM
ment here. 1.-The vast majority of the people
Of Chicago are law-abiding, and have no tear
at all, said Mayor Harrison, "of not being able
to deal with any uprising the socialists or nj
any ground for apprehension. The socialists
have some pronounced ideas which many think
cranky, but as class they are as much inter-
man of equal intelligence. They are not going
to organize TO blow up anything or shoot any
body. The nihilists are blatherskites and like
to talk of doing terrible things. They say in
cendiary things, and the newspapers try to
make a sensation out of them. That is just what
they like. But they don't dare to cary out their
threats. They are not organized in any such
strength as to cause apprehension. Prominent
officers of the militia Interviewed on the sub
then them by the state. are confident that the com.
panies here could put down any socialist up
rising. Cen Fitzsimmons said: There is
always guard at the armories and We shall
not be taken by surprise, think. Another i'm
.vestigation Will be made at once of what the So
cialists are about and there need be no lear that
We shall be in ignorance OF what is going on"
THAT would be the result Of conflict be-
tween the militia armed with rifles and lot of
communists armed with bombs?" was asked OF
a well-knOwn militiaman. ''Oh, they couldn't
do anything unless there was vast host OF
them. Why, you see, in order to use these

boys are well armed with Springfield breech-
loading rifles, caliber forty-three. These rifles
will throw ball that will penetrate an inch
plank at a distance OF mile, and at a distance
of fifty yards they would penetrate fifteen
inches OF pine plank spiked together. The
young men have never been under fire, but
they have courage and II properly led would
undoubtedly do good work. In the day time
the whole command could be assembled i'm an

night they could be summoned by the nearest
commissioned officer. each one of whom has the
addresses of the men who live near him."

Senator Sherman at COlumbus.
HIS VIEWS ON THE LABOR AND LIQUOR CUES

TIONS, ETC.
Senator Sherman was rendered formal re-
ception by the Ohio legislature at Columbus
yesterday afternoon. In his reply he spoke OF
the state election law, the liquor and labor
questions. He said in state affairs politics
should not be brought into play and that the
occurrences which have recently happened
should convince men of all political opinions
that radical change should be made. He de-
scribed the reformation of New York state in
this regard and said Samuel ]. Tilden was one
of the foremost men in bringing out the reform.
He said there was growing sentiment in every
state that certain lows should be passed TO pre-
icating liquors, and that the question ought not
to assume o political character. Regarding
labor Senator Sherman said that the Legislature
should enact laws to secure to the laboring men
as far as law can go the highest wages and the
advantages OF social life. Senator Sherman
held public reception in the senate chamber
at Columbus last evening.

The Newsboys' Aid society met In the parlors
of the Riggs house last evening to receive the
report of Mrs. Russell Selfridge, chairman OF
the incorporation committee. Mr.. Bradford

presented by Mr.. Eaton at the Willard hall
meeting would bear considerable analy zation.
Mrs. Selfridge then made her report, suggesting
that there should be fifteen incorporators,
seven ladies and eight gentlemen: that the
name should be the Newsboys and Children's
Aid society, and that Chief Justice Waite and
Messrs. Fendall and Moulton should be ap.
pointed a committee TO draft the articles OF In
corporation. The suggestions offered by tho
committee were unanimously adopted and the
following ladies were elected 10 the board OF
trustees, the gentlemen TO be appointed by

Mrs. c. r.. Foster, Mrs. 4. b. Hood, Mrs. Com

Nepotism in the Courts.

THE SENATE DISCUSSES THE BILL TO REGU-
LATE THE SALARIES OF UNITED STATES DIS
TRICT JUDGES.
The Senate yesterday afternoon took up the
bill to regulate salaries of United States dis
trict judges. Mr.. Edmunds moved to strike
out the provision forbidding the appointment
of relatives Of the judge officers of the court
the following clause: "And no person hereto
fore appointed or employed (as officers of the
cOurtl being SO related to such justice or judge
shall continue in said office or employment
after the expiration of six months from the
passage of this act" Mr.. Edmunds thought
this would be too sweeping and would do In
justice, by ousting them from Office, - men
who had been faithful public officials.
Messrs; Coke and Cockrell opposed the mo
tons as officers of the court by judges led to
favori.ism and the miscarriage of justice.
MIR. Edmunds' motion was adopted by vote
of % to IA.
MIR. Morgan offered an amendment to fix the
salaries of some district judges at $4,000. but
the Senate adjourned before action was taken
upon it.
