THE taking of testimony in the Pan-electric
investigation will be finished this week. Mr.,

IF both parties will discard the cheap tricks
which both have too often practiced in the past
to catch from the vicious classes. the moral

sounder and safer.-Denver Tribune.
THE Knights of Labor are very much like
other combinations of persons-powerful when

WHEN any person, in this land Of liberty and
law prociams himself an Anarchist and foe of
society, whether by act or word there ought
hereafter be in force law under which, without
waiting for other overt acts of crime against
ciety, he could be removed from country
whose hospitality he abuses, and to whose very
existence he is an enemy--New York Tribune.
NUMEROUS evidences have been given that the

IF nothing else comes of this frightful tragedy
than conclusion on the part of the sef-styled
American agitators in this country that they
will not iuflict other people the savage, cow
ardly and brutal attack to which they have just
been subjected, the occurrence will not be with
out some benefit. The English cuticle ID no
thicker than the native American article; one is
just as easily larcerated by fragments Of sx-
ploding dynamite shells as the other.-Chicago

THERE is an uprising of the American relig
ious faiths; of the American traditions of liberty
| regulated by law and consecrated by religion; of
! the American regard for the sacredness of indl-
| vidual rights. The stories of the violence and
persecution suffered by the tens Of thousands OF
honest, peaceable American men and women.
