Intimate with Themselves


A writer upon Longfellow and
Hawthorne says: "it belongs to both
of these men to be intimate chiefly
with themselves That is the most
sensible thing we have ever read con-
corning those famous men. Poets
and romancers are not generally
supposed to exercise so much sound
sense. A man who is chiefly init
mate with himself isn't slapped on
the shoulder every time he appears
on the street and asked, GLOW are
you, old man?" Too much init
macy with others brings this about.
And he isn't liable to be struck for a
loan as often as those who cultivate
numerous intimacies outside Of
themselves. 1t Is your intimate
friend who comes and tells you al
the disagreeable things he has h,n-sse
said about you, pla.la1sias.Iiss'g'deard
abaly go.asmIb as4i1 ne will prob
..way and repeat anything
you have said that is calculated to
make trouble. BE friendly to others
that is all right--but initiate Long
lellow and Hawthorne and reserve
your chief intimacy for yourself

judicial Opinion.

CHICAGO, May l7.-Judge Rodgers to-
day mpanneled the May grand jury which
is to consider the cases of the haymarket
Anarchists and the alleged bomb throw
ers. In the course of ais instructions to
the jury the judge said. at is only your
province to deal with the crime which has
been committed. The principles of the
law inculcate the doctrine that men who
teach riot, who incitc unlawful gathering
to incendiary acts, are responsible for the
effects of these rantings. The red flag is
a public menace. 1t is the emblem that
no quarter will be given. The police have
the right to suppress these people, to pre-
vent the commission of crime. They
have the right to quell all such disturb
ances, and the police and chief magistrate
of this city did their duty when the time
came, and acted like men. Men have a
right to strike. They have a right to
quit work if they please, but when they
go one step further and say that others
have not the right to work, they violate
the law and should be punished. 1t is
not only the principals that may be held
responsible, but the accessories as well.
He or they who stand idly by, after hav-
ing advised violence to be committed may
be held equally to blame with the princi-
pals The Judge then dismissed the
Jury, who went into session.
