The evidence in the trial of the Chi
eago anarchists develops the fact that
the socialist leaders had matured a hor-
rible plot to inaugurate a reign of ter
ror in the city of Chicago. A part of
the plan was to kill all the police Off
GERS and the militia, and to disable the
fire department SO that there could be
no possible organized protection to the
citizens of the city against the depreda-
tons Of the rabble. If the plot had
been successful the fate of the city
would have been n most horrible one,
and in contemplation of what it might
have been it is hardly possible that a
Chicago jury will mingle too much
mercy with justice in rendering "A YER
dict in the case of the anarchists now
on trial. The developments that have
been made confirm the wisdom of the
labor organizations disbarring social
lists from membership.

Not a Society Man.

Baltimore Herald: Senator Coke. of
Texas is a big-framed, heavy-built man,
better adapted by nature for the from
tier than a lady's drawing room; not
that he is wanting in the finer sensibIli-
ties, but he does not like to be hedoed
in and restricted by the conventionali-
ties which fashion imposes upon her
votaries. He wants room to swing
himself in and to put his big foot down
without any apprehension that it gets
on forbidden ground.
care you going to the reception to-
night, Coke?' Beck inquired of the
Texas senator last Tuesday.
mo, | amt responded the big
mar in II voice that had the ring of
manly %earncstness about it. I'm not
going to any more of these receptions
and fal-de-rals. Why, Beck, lem'me

a-smilin' at me. She was at least six
or eight feet off, and, as | didn't know

She kept on bowin' and smilil'. and l

The rehearing of the Dilse-Crav-
ford case began in London Friday.
Mrs. Crawford sticks pertinaciously to
the story Of her shame, and Sir Charles
promises to offer abundant proof that
she is lying. The case is one of the
most indecent ever tried in an English
court, but the cable brings word that
the court room was crowded. We do
not know that either country has much
to boast of in the matter, but the Eng
lish seem to seek a diet of filth a little
more brazenly than the Americans.

Congress needs a much stronger
leaven Of men from other than the le-
gal ranks OF life. II is unrepresenta-
tive as it is and lopsided. This is a
subject for the constituencies to ponder
over. Legislative halls ought not to
be courts where legal talent is utilized
for the private gains of its employer.
Nor ought the departments to be the
arena of the labors Of paid agents Of
private or corporate interests who at
the same time possess prestige through
being ostensibly representatives of the
people. The legal fraternity furnishes
the mainstay and defense OF the cor
porations which wiring means from the
government to wrong the community.
Is it too much to ask that the lawyers
shall at least drop this kind of business
when they become public servants?

The intimation that there is a new
extradition treaty between the United
States and England and that it con-
tains provisions lessenlng the advant-
ages OF Canada as a resort for our en-
bezzleYs, etc, has an agreeable sound,
though it lacks authoritative corrobor-
alton. Why two civilized peoples liv-
ing close to one another should not en-
ter upon a mutually advantageous ar
-angement for protection against crime
about the nature OF which there is nc
doubt, is not an easy question to an
swer. Recent experiences point to the
~advisability of an improvement in the
extradition laws spoken of, and if tn,
treaty alluded to is not being negoti
ated, the report at least supplies good
suggestion to be acted on.
