The table of the President has much to
do with the success of his administration.
A dinner In 1890 consummated the bargain
which resulted in bringing the capital to
Washington ten years later, and from that
time to this the dinners of the White House
have been powerful factor in the confr'
nation of nominations and In the adoption
of the lines of Presidential policy. In
Jefferson's time, Mr.. Merry, the Minister
from England, made the complaint tina. the
President had taken Mrs. Madison rather
than his wife on his arm to the dinner
table the subject Of serious correspondence
with his government and in the days Of
Jackson the whole Of the country was
thrown into turmoil of social discussion
because the President persisted in making
Peggy Eaton, the daughter Of tavern
keeper, who was now the wife of the Score
tary Of War, his most honored guest. The
espousal of Mrs. Eaton's cause by Van
Buren, ended in his elevation to Jackson's
seat, and there is little doubt but that the
profuse hospitality Of both Jefferson and
Jackson went great way towards giving
them their nominations for second term.

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Their Trial Commenced-Judge Rogers
Charge to the Jury.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE court room was
crowded with people. Comment was freely
made on the appearance of the jurors, who
responded to the call of their names. The
impression was that they were good look
ing, intelligent body of men. Judge Rogers
made his charge substantially as follows:
"We hear good deal lately of what con-
stitutes freedom of speech. There is no con-
stitutional right for men to assemble and in
dulge in wild harangues and incendiary
speeches. These men must be held res
pensible for what they ;ncite others to do.
That is the spirit of the law. 1t is only your
province to deal with crimes-with acts that
have been committed; nevertheless the his
tory of the last few days will make it neces-
sary for me to advert to other matters than
the actual commission of crime well
as the commission of offences against the
law. The bill of rights OF the State OF Hi
nois Incorporates the general principles of
the constitution of the United States. Men
may assemble and discuss the matters, the
constitutional rights of freedom of speech,
but they are held responsible for what they
say II men are melted to riot, arson and
other unlawful acts, the men responsible for
this may be held liable for the results. Mere
lookers-on are not the ones only, but the
men who advised the commission of the
crime are the guilty parties as well. The
principles OF law inculcated the doctrine that
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1886-05-19

men who teach riot, who incite unlawful
gatherings to incendiary acts, are responsible
for the effects of these rantings. A red flag
is a public menace. 1t is an emblem that
no quarter will be given. The police have
right to suppress these people 70 prevent the
commission of crime. They have the right
to quell all such disturbers. And the police
their duty when the time came, and acted
like men-the noblest work of God"
Before quoting the law on the subject,
Judge Rogers adverted to the recent labor
troubles. He said:
They have attracted the notice of the
country at large. But don't want to lay
the trouble to any one nationality. 1t is not
nationalities but individuals that are to
blame. 1t is not the Irish or the German,
or the Bohemians as a nationality-all these
people love peace. Men have a right TO
strike. They have a right 10 quit work if
they please, but when they go one step fur
ther and say that others have not the right
to work, they violate the law ana can be
punished 1t is not only principals that
may be held responsible, but he accessories
as well he or they who stand idly by after
having advised the violence committed may
be held equally to blame with the princI-
pals
Judge Rogers then dismissed the Jury, who
retired 10 their room, and went into session.
The day was so far gone that nothing was
done by the body further than TO perfect its
organization and arrange the duration of it's
hours.

AFFAIRS IN AUSTRIA.
The Summer Exodus-Herr Host-A Noted
Brigand-Brutal Murder.

VIENNA, May 16.-The banks of the blue
Danube will soon be unpleasantly warm, and
the Viennese are preparing for their annual
outings. The Emperor sets the example,
and is about TO start on a tour through Dali
malta and Herzegovina. Later on be may
attend the military maneuvels az Galicia,
where his presence would do more than a
dozen regiments to pacify the disafected
peasantry.
The news of Most's arrest was "a balm of
Gilead" to the majority of the Viennese.
Herr Most was equally hated and dreaded
when he lived here. The workingmen
among whom he lived used to call him the
man with the birds head, and his blood
thirsty mouthings had inspired them with
kind of respect, which has not been quite
destroyed even by his cOwardiCe. The Neue
Freie Presse, commenting on his capture this
week, said: "If fate had placed hiu on a
despOts throne he would have been Domi-
tlan. From his youth up his dreams have
been of bombs, lapidations, arms. blood
murder and death. Nobody could ell
Johann MOst's place, no one will succeed
him, for kindly nature seldom begets such
CREATURES"
The Neues Wiener Tagblatt, taking less
serious view OF Most, opines: He is PLAYED
out in America, and would find no shelter
in Europe"
He might have joined Hungarian bri-
gand band last week, but now even that re-
source is gone. for the famous Savanvu
JOSH, the last of the Hungarian brigsnds,
is standing on his trial with his accomplices
and has fair chance OF hanging. For years
Savanyu JOSH was regarded as hero, and
strangers have been known to make long
journeys to see him, and when Nine. Adam
was in Hungary he sent her his photograph.
The latest sensation in crime is the brutal
murder of an old lady of eighty-four, named
Bauer, who lived in a garret with q house
keeper named Stockhamler, and worth l30-
600 FORMS a great part of which was kept
in the safe occupying corner of her bed
room. A relation calling on her the other
day found the door locked, and with the aid
of locksmith it was burst open, when Frau
Bauer was discovered in pool OF blood with
one ear chopped off and her head battered
in. On the safe were the marks of blood
stained fingers, but strange to say, the val
uables. including most of the victims loose
cash, had not been stolen. The housekeeper
was arrested on suspicion, but denies being
guilty, though the circumstantial evidence
against her seems crushing.

The Crop OutIOok.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE following crop
summary will be printed IN this weeks issue
of the Farmers Review: The heavy rains of
the past week have lessened somewhat the
former excellent outlook for spring wheat in
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota
The great rainfall has also occasioned some
injury to the winter wheat in Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, where, in some
OF the fields it was beginning TO head out.
The reports do not indicate, however, any
serious damage as yet. In other respects the
outlook for all the grains in all the States
and Territories continues excellent. The
report of poor showing for winter wheat,
or reports of injury from insect life,
with the exception Of the permanent
damage heretofore noted IN various coun-
ties in Kansas, are rare and isolated. The
presence Of the chinch bug is noted in Nor
risonvllle County, in Central Illinois, and
in several Indiana counties. In Indiana
winter wheat has attained growth of from
ten to fifteen inches, and in Crawford. Henry,
Jay, Lagrange, Switzerland and Nermillion,
which send in such reports this week, the
outlook continues excellent. The only
county in Missouri to send in the report of
a poor showing for winter wheat is Clay.
The report states that one-third OF the acre
age has been plowed up. The generality of
the reports from Missouri indicate a crop Of
% per cent. above the average. In Harrison
and Shelby Counties the outlook is declared
to be the best ever known. In Kansas some
of the counties note an improvement in the
winter wheat outlook within the last thirty
days. In jefferson County there is the
promise of IS per cent. of an average crop.
In Lincoln County the early sown wheat has
been saved, and in Pawnee County the pres
ent prospect is for fair average crop. But
Ter is to be added TO the list of counties
where the crop is an entire failure. The re-
ports from Michigan indicate an improve
ment in the wheat outlook within the past
two weeks. The reports from Ohio are gen.
orally of promising character. In Ashta-
bula County, however, the reports indicate a
poor outlook. The reports from Dakota
continue favorable. Fargo, one of the prin-
cipal wheat-raising counties in the Red.
River Valley, reports that the outlook could
not be improved, while Cass County reports
the condition of wheat 20 per cent. above
the average. The reports from Minnesota
are uniformally good. The Nebraska coun-
ties still complain of too much rain, and
that wheat on all low lands is looking poor
ly. The general average Of the crop on up
lands is good.

Trying to Corner the President.
Special To the Sentinel.

WASHINGTON, May II. "A well known
member of Congress called upon the PresI-
dent Saturday, for the purpose Of present
ing to him a newly married couple, constitu-
ents of his, who were anxious to see Mr..
Cleveland. The bridegroom was stalwart,
oroad-shouldered farmer, his bride was
pretty, modest, little creature, who clung to
her husbands arm during the presentation.
The member of Congress placed marked
emphasis in the introduction to the fact
that the people he was presenting were new
ly married. He added with flourish, II
commend them to your attention"
The President said to the groom, as he
gazed upon the bride, Il congratulate you,
sir" shaking him warm by the qsnd as he
spoke.
The bridegroom blushed, and for mo-
Then he blurted out, Il hope
the American people will soon have an op-
portunity to offer similar congratulations to
you."
1t was the Presidents turn to blush. The
bride laughed outright and then the Presi-
dent laughed. This hilarity continued for a
few seconds and then the President seemed
to realize that he was committing himself
and look of annoyance came upon his face.
The interview came to an abrupt close.
A well-known lady in society, the wife Of
a prominent official, asked Mr. Manning the
other day whether the President was going
to be married or not. She said to him: "1f
anybody knows you ought to. Iwish you
would tell me. You can tell me in conf
dence if you do not want anything concern
ing it generally known"
Mr.. Manning replied: Upon my honor
know nothing about it. L assure you that
know nothing more about it than you do.
have never heard a word about it from any,
body who could know whether the report
was true or not"
1t the President is to be married lie is
keeping the fact of it closer than he mas ever
kept any secret of his executive business.
The dispatch from Paris in the World saying
Miss Folsom had admitted before leaving
Paris that there was an engagement between
herself and the President has attracted a
good deal of attention, yet people are disap-
pointed that all the information upon the
subject comes from the Folsoms They

WASHINGTON, May 15s0The syndicate of
brokers throughout thecountry which owns
most of the trade dollars in circulation Is
working trick to bring Congress to its as
sistance. For two days petitions have been
presented in great profuslon in both Houses
asking Congress to redeem these trade dol
lars at par. Unfortunately for these gen.
tlemen interested, the singular unanimity
with which different parts of the country
have risen to this subject has aroused sus-
picion, and the petitions, therefore, have
lost much of their effect.

)leomargarine.


WASHINGTON, May 13.-Petitions were pre-
sented in the Senate to-day from the dairy
interest in almost every State in the Union,
urging the passage of a law to tax oleomarg-
arine. Several protests were also filed. The
ruling of Speaker Carlisle in the House to-
day on the special order for the Agricultural
Committee may interfere with the progress
of the Oleomargarine bill there. Mr.. Hatch
believed that the special order held over un-
til the bills named by the committee had
been disposed of. Speaker Carlisle, how
ever, ruled that after to-day the Agricultural
Committees business could be antagonized
with any other business. 1t will, therefore,
need majority to call up the oleomarga-
rine bill, and although it is believed that
there is majority III the House in favor OF
its passage, it may prove difficult to get that
majority together to take it up.
