Thousands OF men who would not have
polled vote against slavery in the United

der the duress OF Cowardice and Of little

No l.oOm For Anarchists.

The recent riots in Chicago and Anarch'
lat demonstrations in that and other cities
have had a wholesome effect on members
Of Congress, awakening them to the me-
cpssily OF some sort of stClOn, Very few
ofthem are willing to express any opinions
az to what ought to be done in the matter
Indeed they are undecided as to what
would be the wiEest course to pursue
Some are seriously considering the prop
ogltlon to restrict, or prohibit entirely, the
entry into the United States Of these enem-
les 10 law and order.
1t is probable that numerous amend
ments will be offered to the restrictive
Chinese bill, which comes up this week
in the House, that will provide for the
radiance OF an evil which is regarded as
much greater than that which forms the
subject oil the Chinese bill.
II is difficult to detect in the immigrant,
whether no comes in the first cabin or the
steeragp, the man who comes to this coun'
try to stir up strife, Such man as Most
could DO brought up short, for he makes a
business Of melting to riot and had estab-
llshed his reputation before he came TO
this country, His Is an exceptional case
Ordinarily we shall have to deal with the
destruCtionihs after they get here, and
that We ought to be able TO do without
a great strain on our statesmanshtp.
Men whopreach destruction Of property
and lie should be lockedup at hard labor.
When they get to shooting, shoot them
down until order Is restored and then
hang the survivors. Very little Of this
heroic treatment will cure the trouble. II
we have ever seemed to offer an asylum
to men Of the Anarchist stamp We cannot
too soon lot all the world know that we
have been misunderstood, or that We have
reached othor conclusions and determined
to reform. Tho asylum business has been
rather oveldone and we may as well take
a fresh start.

THE TOY SPIDER.
Wheeling, May Il


How 1t Created Serious aud La'ting Trouble
Exchange,
Ellick and his father had been more
like chums than father and son, and the
boy was at loss to know how to pass the
long evenings since his psternal sire had
become the possessor Of the consultations
OF religion, Before, it had been dozen
or more games Of poker, then to bed but
now the old gentleman was to be found on
the foremost seat in church, directly In
front OF the preacher, and nearly always
asleep after the first quarter Of an hour OF
the sermon. ,,
Happening to be in town, ElliCk saw
for the first time one OF those hideous toy
spiders with glazing eyes and hairy, moVa-
bic legs. Upon his return home he carried
with him one Of the mock insects.
That afternoon he climbed to the loft oil
the church and bored hole in the wooden
ceiling Just over the position usually oCcu'
pied by the minister.
Returning early that night he located
himself in the loft with his eye to the peep.
hole, and the spider with the silk thread
attached close at hand, The sermon had
got well under way and old man Gratsen
(ElliCk's father was peacefully sleeping
on the front seat with his head thrown
back and his mouth open. The preacher,
hymn book in hand, was slowly reading
the song Of praise.
Carefully Ellick lowered the spider
through the hole. It settled toward the
bald head OF the preacher in q natural
manner, its hairy legs Hopping and sway
ing. Feeling something tickling his shiny
pate he slapped it lightly. The tickling
was removed, but began again instantly.
Thistime the preacher bestowed aresound'
ing smack that made his head ring, lie

iect leering at him. With muillad yell
Of terror he struck at the horrible insect
with the hymn book. The spider was not
there. Such was the force of'the blow the
heavy book went flying. It struck old
man Gratsen sQuarely in the face, the
sharp corner nearly knocking out one Of
his eyes. Old man Gratsen, thus rudely
awakened, leaped 10 his feet with an as.
tonished snort.
"Hyer thar" he shouted. "What dye
mean by that"
The minister was dancing around in the
extremity Of agony, striking at the spider
with both hands.
"Ah, bahI You done that er purpose,
heyP"
Gratsen was on his muscle at once.
Leaping to the! roitrum he grasped the
preacher by the neck and they went at
1t like mad cats. "Zunty bump" ever
went the pulpit and both men rolled on
the floor Clawing and humping, Tho
efforts OF the congregation to separate
them proved fruitless. Both men were
nearly frenzied and resisted all atempts
to pull them apart. One brilliant genius
lifted the cover off the baptistry and the
combatants were dropped into the water.
That cooled the fires OF wrath. They
Crawled out OF the water and stood on op.
posite sides glazing at each other.
"What did you mean by" began
the preacher, but old man Gratsen with.
drew, and ever since no effort has been
able to bring him back 10 the fold.
"When a preacher half kills Teller for
list iallin' asleep in church, amt got no
more use for him." no used to say. "Look
at that thar eye"

railroad track is paved with the common

with sand, no tar or pitch being used, and
the city paved with the vitrihed block and
covered with pitch and tar. And there Ia
the paving in front OF the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad freight house which
was paved last December In bad
stormy weather, In fact part OF
1t in snow storm, with the
common sized square tier brick. Then
examine the crosswalk on Fourteenth
street at the Baltimore 4 Ohio freight de-
pot, and also the paving In front Of the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky freight
depot, which was paved with the vitrihed
paving block and covered with pitch and
tar. Examine the different jobs and SEE
which looks as II It would stand the
most pressure, the yitrifGd block or the
common sized fire brick, which are made
Of one and the same material. There Is
an idea that the common sized brick will
not stand without a board foundation.
This Is a mistake. All you have to do Ia
to examine the jobs that have named,
the one in Steubenville and the one. on
Chapline street, the Citizens Railway and
the job in front Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, which was all laid with small
brick and laid on gravel foundation.
