WASHINGTON CITY, May 2'.-Ihe house

pointed Blount, Riggs and Bingham con
ferees on the poStoiilce appropriation bill
A bill was passed granting an increase OF
pension TO the widow oil Commander D. A.

The states were then called for the intro
duction OF bills, etc, Tor reference Among
those submitted was one 10 divide the sur
plus money in the treasury ON June |, 1886,
among the several states and territories tor
educational purposes.
Other bills were as follows: Levying
specific duties on leather gloves; appropriat-
ing S25, to aid in the erection OF a monu-
ment to Gen. Anthony Wayne ut Stony
Point, n. Y.
After struggle by several COM
mittees for precedence, during which
lima to consider tho Jelfersonville
levee matter was defeated by "a vote of A.
against l422, the house went into
committee of the whole on general revenue
bills. The first measure OF this character
on the calendar was the Morrison tariff bill,
which was passed over without OBJ ection

by vote OF l3j against 81, and the com
mittee resumed its session and tooh up the
oleomargarine bill.
Scott of Pennsylvania, approved the
measure He said that some legislation of
this character was absolutely necessary il
one of the chief Industries of the country
was to be spared from the doom which
threatens it. The bill did no in Justice to
manufacturers of limitations of butter; it
simply raised the farmer to the plane of
fair and honest competition, and it was
perfectly competent and proper for congress
to legislate upon the subject
An impression is growing among mem
bers of the house that there will be no dis
cussion of the tariff bill at this session, ana
many theories are advanced to strengthen
this belielE Randall says congress will ad-
iourn by the end of the first week in July
and that the tariff bill viii consume none
of the intervening time. His reasons for
making the assertion are not known.
There are those who say that an un.
derstanding exists between Morrison
and Randall, and that no effort will be
made to call up the measure. The Dem
ocrats who intend to vote against the tariff
bill are very anxious, with randall, to de

will have the eject of dividing the party
on the other questions, and believing
it will be political advantage

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.

In his charge to the grand jury which
Is to consider the recent anarchist riots
In Chicago, Judge Rogers, of thai city,
clearly and forcibly defines the law APP
plicable to such cases. While there is no
doubt whatever as to the ulpability of
those who engaged in lawless acts, he
places an equal responsibility upon those
who, after urging the mob to violence,
stood aside and merely watched the re-
suit OF their teachings. There has been
much SAID about the right of freedom of
speech, but this he shows does not mean
that men should not be held accountable
for what they say. There is no consti>
tutional right which permits men to
assemble their fellows together and
address them with incendiary and
violent speech. Those who are instru>
mental in urging and melting mob to
unlawful acts are just as responsible
in the eye of the law as the men who
commit those acts, and they should be
punished with equal severity. From a
moral point of view they should undoubt
eddy be shouldered with the entire re.
sponsbility, for without their incendiary
and violent appeals their dupes would
never dare to violate the law or resist its
authority. At the present time the
Grand Jury of Chicago has grave res
sponsibility to meet, and il is to be hoped
that it will do its duty thoroughly and
fearlessly. In a city where there is SO
much to fear from the Socialistic element
q wholesome taste of the. law just now
would do much towards checking furth-
er growth of this spirit of anarchy.
