CHICAGO, August 20.--The Arbeiter zei-
tung, of which August Spies was editor up to
the time of his arrest on account of the Hay
market massacre, reviewed the verdict i'm the
anarchist trial in its issue of this afternoon
under the heading "Shameful"
The Inter Ocean, in an editorial for its
issue for tomorrow morning will say: "The
world has heard Of this signal verdict with
sense OF profound relief. The verdict is
unquestionaby the voice of iuStice--a solemn
verdict of the worlds best civilization. Law
is not tlrottlcd. Justice is not dead"
Tho Times will say editoTialy: The jury
agreed upon verdict on the first ballot the
voice OF every man being for guilty of the
crime of murder as charged III the indict-
ment The execution of the death penalty
upon the socialist maefactors in Chicago
will he, in its effect, the execution of the
death penalty upon the socialist propaganda
in this country"
The Daily News will say: I'm regard to
the conviction and sentence of Oscar Neebe,
the jury has shown itself wiser than the gen
eral public. 1t has weighed the part he took
In distributing the revenge circulars as a
part of the conspiracy, and the verdict says
to every weak, malicious or infatuated dupe
of the doctrines of anarchy, Touch not the
foul thing lest you perish in its certain con-
demnation.'" y"

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Democratic and Republican Finan-
ciering Compared.

WASHINGTON, August 20-lSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. The bond call for Sl5,0 ,0OO,-
900, 3-per cents, made yesterday, Is the fifth
call maturing during the present fiscal year,
The first three were for S4,000,0oO, the fourth
for $40, ,0J0 900, and that of yesterday for Sl5,-
0OO, 900, making $37,000,0oO in all. The con-
dition of the treasury under the boarding
policy of the present administration amply
warrants the financial opela atiOns which are
shrewdly being worked as much to aid the
bulls in Wall street as to affect
the fall elections by preventing criticism
upon the democratic party for the failure of
the president to approve the Morrison resO
luton. To comply with the requirements
of the sinking fund act the secretary of the
treasury must call S45, ,0OO,OUO before the 1st
Of Of neXty19y. There yet remains, therefore,
tion can make capital out of before October,
and claim large debt reduction. Had the
republicans remained in power the debt
reduction to date would have been 49,, ,0O0, 900
more than it now is, and observers assert
fnanciering to equal the report of
the republicans in this respect. EX-Secretary,
Mccullough, one of the greatest of financial
authorities, alluding to the point in his last
report addressed to the speaker of the house,
said: Nothing has so much surprised Eu-
ropean statesmen as the fact that immedi-
ately after the termination OF one OF the most
expensive and in some respects exhaustive
wars that has ever been carried on, the
United States should have commenced the
payment of its debt and continued its re-
duction through all reverses until nearly one
hall. of it has. been paid; that the re-
kept pace with the reduction of the principal,
and within a period of nineteen years the
debt which it was feared would be heavy
and never-ending burden upon the people,
bnG m n a IN N
densome."
In the nineteen years spoken Of by Mr..
McCullough the reduction of the national
debt reached the enormous sum of Sl,a7,-
94s, ,622, while the reduction of the annual
interest charge for the same period was
Sl03. .653. sec.

The New "BelIo" Machine.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. There were quite a num-
Der of exciting rumors atloat to-day in the
patent Office in relation to telephone mat
tiers, although no action has been taken be-
yond the reinstating of Gray's application.
1t is said that this patent will be issued
eventually as quick method of disposing of
various telephone suits inaugurated by the
present administration. A rumor has gained
credence here that in issuing Gray's patent
the officials will so frame 1t as not to conflict
with claim five OF the Bell patent, which is
"for the transmission OF vocal sounds cleo
trically, and the apparatus therefor" If
this course should be pursued, IL will leave
the Bell company in the endowment of its
only, to the rivalry of Gray's concern. After
that date, when the Bell company's patent
expires, any of the other telephones may be
placed upon the market and operated without
infringement.

Water worksand railroads at Albion

ALBION, Neb, August eO.--lSpecial to
the BEE. Some time since Albion resolved
to issue bonds and build water works The
work on the same has been delayed until this
week, when the contractors set large num-
Der of men at work, and the water pipes are
now being rapidly laid IN our streets With
in six weeks Albion will have, If the terms
of the contract are carried out water works
of sufficient force to throw stream of water
over 100 feet high.
During the past few months the North
western railroad has made number of sur
veys of their Scribner branch to Albion.
Last week the company informed our citi-
zens that If we would give them $4,000 in
precinct bonds and right of way through the
corporate limits of Albion they would build
their road to this town, and commence work
thereon on or before September 10 next A
paper, pledging the signers TO vote for the
bonds, has been signed by nearly all the
voters of Albion. That part of the precinct
outside the village limits is now being can
vassed, and am informed that over two
thirds of the voters in the precinct have
signed the paper. There is very friendly
feeling in this locality toward the North
western road, and our citizens generally are
very anxious that the road should be built to
this place.

HER MIGHTIEsT OFFSPRING
ANARCHISTS AND IRISH.
Comments OF the English Press OH
Chicago's Two Great Events.

ICOpyrlghtGdj !. ..r
LONDON, August 2l., 4 q. m.--[New York
Herald Cable-Special to the EE.l-The
conviction of the Chicago anarchists and
their capital sentences is the sensational
topic OF the hour in London. The govern
ment organ, the Morning Post, thus con
graduates Chicago:
sALUTARY LESSON.
sin this trial at Chicago the American
people have shown very clearly and forcibly
that they will not allow their hospitality to
be abused. They have sheltered men who
conspired against the governments of other
countries. They have even allowed them
to conspire on American soil. But when
German anarchists made an attack upon the
laws of the United States, 1t was seen at
once that toleration might be carried too far.
Charity begins at home, and from sound mo-
tives of selt-protection the legal authorities
of Chicago have gave their revolutionary
guests salutary lesson"
A CHANGE OF SUBJECT.
The leader then passes to the Irish event in
that city, and on the speeches of Messrs.
Fitzgerald and O'Brlen at the convention, re-
marks: "a war against English rule in Ire
land has been openly threatened. There is
no doubt that some of the men present at
that convention have been cognizant of the
intrgues of the murderous ruffians who have
attempted to destroy life and property in
London"
AN ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION.
1t thus very illogcaly concludes: Amer
leans have shown by the verdict and sentence
in the anarchist trial that they give short
shift to foreign miscreants who have as
sailed law and order in the United States.
1t may In time become desirable that some
international action should be taken for the
suppression of such conspirators who,
whether they are nihilists from Germany or
dynamiters from the school of 0'Donoyan
Rosa, are enemies TO civilization"
THE CHRONICLES HOPE.
The whilom radical Chronicle has an edi-
torial in a similar strain. 1t arrives at this
conclusion: "Now that the American gov
ernment has expressed SO clearly its refusal
to differeptiate between destruction of life
aud property on alleged political motives,
and the same Offenses committed without
that lame excuse, 1t can hardly refuse to

A Mysterious Killing.

ALBION, Neb., August 20.-TSpecial
Telegram to the BEE. Jon last
Sunday Ralph NJ. Crowley, aged
about sixteen years, and Samuel Hardy,
about twenty years, went out hunting.
Ralph was living at home with his father,
who resides on farm about one mile from
Albion. Hardy was working for Mr.. Crow
ley, and living with him. Shortly after = p.
m. Hardy returned home, and when asked
where Ralph was, replied tnat he had re-
fused to return to the house with him as he
wished to hunt awhile longer About dark
Mr.. Crowley became anxious for his sons
return and went out looking for him. Not
finding him, he asked Hardy to go to the
neighbors and inquire for Ralph, and If they
had not seen him, to get them to go in
search of the boy. Quite party gathered
at Mr.. Crowley's house and divided them
selves into parties and travelled in different
directions, Hardy going in one, party
About 0 O'Clock Monday morning the body
of Ralph was found not far from his fathers
house lying dead in the field with his gun,
apparently bursted, lying by his side. Sew
erai suspicious circumstances caused the
coroner to summon a jury At the inquest
Hardy testified that he was hunting with
the deceased during the previous afternoon,
and that he left him about o'clock; Being
closely questioned he finally admitted that he
had shot and killed Ralph, and after killing
him he had taken Ralph's gun apart and laid
1t down beside the body. He said that the
shooting was accidental, and that his own
gun, as itwas laying across his arm, went
off, shooting the deceased in the neck, killing
him instantly. The coronors jury brought in
a verdict of accidental death.
On Tuesday certain facts came to light
which gives very suspicious look as to the
shooting being accidental, and Hardy was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mr..
Crowley. His preliminary examination was
liked for Monday, but at the time set for
trial Hardy waived an examination, and was
committed TO the Boone county jail to await
the action of the grand jury at the November
term of court

Secretary Bayard,s s.apcpoat.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. E.l-Secretary Bayard, after
having failed TO fix the responsibility of his
minister, Romero seems 10 think that it is
necessary to find scapegoat for his short
comings, and now his personal organs ac-
cuse Consul Brigham of responsibility for
Bayard's misinformation. 1t Is asserted
that Brigham is to be sacrificed, and that his
recall will be ordered as soon as the presi-
dent returns. Officials of the state depart
ment, outside of Bayard immediate coterie,
however, assert that Brigham is one of the
best consuls in the service, and they regret
exceedingly that he should be made to suffer
for the exceedingly bad diplomacy OF the
United States premier.
