After stranguIation-what (!

A jury Of twelve men, good men and
true, no doubt, have declared that the
best use to which seven of the miser-
able Anarchists caught in the legal net
in Chicago can be put is to hang them
Ivy the neck till dead. The jury of five
times 100000 sitting upon this judg.
ment are still out and no possible pros
peCt Of agreement.
Those twelve men in the box have
found those seven fellow creatures in
the pen guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and have imposed upon them the
penalty of death, the statute in Illinois
giving to the box the power which in
most states is conferred exclusively upon
the bench.
This disposes of the bodies of these
seven doomed criminals, prepares them
Tor the grand post mortum feast of the
worms little earlier only than might
have been the case in the common
course of nature. 1t is possible that the
motion for new trial may prevail, aud
that the verdict and judgment mag be
oyer,ruled; but it is not prob able.
n this act of murder under the form
OF law there will doubtless be general
arquiesence, in some instances active but
IN most cases passive. The colnplaisant
and distended monopolist will say :
GOOD Good served them right"
Ihe great mass of the people will unpro-
tesungly accept the result as an act of
Ilstlce; but O, what a travesty The
lew and those most nearly related to the
removed by common sympathies in com
mon sorrows, will in undertone it m "

spectators, the authors of our "Black
FHdavs," are very much more deserV

land. to torment society which deals sc
hardly with them"
But we will dismiss this consideration
at once. Not that it is an unim portant
one. but that it offers at present no gen.
erallY-accepted ground upon which to fix
common and mutually-accep.ed pre-.
misses. To the so-called more practical
phases of the moral which these dark
lives and violent deaths teach we may
give and proftably, perhaps. brief con-
slderation.
In that way, it may we'll be asked, will
society be benefited by these ''takings
off," "ignominiously and on the scat.
fold?" That these perturbed spirits
which proved an alibi will seek the
friendly cover of silence; that they will
steal away and make no sign, for time
it is not difficult to believe. But, will
their mental wounds heal and their
spirits change? We seriously question
1t. Will society by this punishment
fortifv itself in any permanent ay
against the evils of which the Anarch-
lists and their awful works are shocking
illustrations? We feel no assurance.
Hunger will still pinch cold will wither
and all the glaring Irregularities rem ain
as goads to desperation.
That strong measures should be taken
to arrest this dread torrent of passion is
necessary, is imperative, is unquestion-
ably right; but nc measure to check the
progress of Spies, which does not as well
place an effectual brake upon the blast
ing career of Gould, will meet the nee
essities of the case.
Society will scarcely have entered
upon the real solution of this great prob
lem in swinging these poor wretches
into eternity. Fortunate will it be, in
deed. if that act does not prove force
ful demonstration that "the blood of the
martyrs is the seed of the church" The
conditions of society which beget and
develop these dIsturbers called Anarch-
lists must be changed, radically changed,
before We can enjoy security against the
mYraid and nameless horrors that they
bring.
The entire fabric of so-called civil So
ciety, of enlightened christendom, must
feel the touch of the remodeling and
new fashioning hand. Our halls of leg
islation must be swept clean of the cor
ruptions of avarice Bad laws must be
repealed, and those framed and hon
estly administered which bear equally
upon all regardless of sex, creed or ma
tionalitY, giving all equal opportunities
IN the race of life. The courts of the
judiciary must be stripped of their relics
of an age dark with ignorance, sophistrv
and cruelty, and the innermost temple
of the human heart must be freed from
the th1aldom of superstition. from fear
of unbellef in the incredible and impos-
sible, and be warmed, invigorated, pos
sessed of genuine and true rather than
a false and spurious divinity. Well
were it for our race and our age if these

throwing of that particular bomb. so
far as we have heard no one maintains
that either Of the condemned men was
proved guilty of this special deadly act
or OF directly counseling the commission
of said act. Why then should they be
hung? The answer is simply because
the jury believed they were proved
guilty of conspiracy" resulting in the
death of the policemen.
But conspiracy is very indefinite
term. If every man who counsels the
use of force in resisting despotic author
ity is guilty of conspiracy against gov
ernment, then the courts of Chicago and
of the country at large will have their
hands full in prosecuting conspirators.
We are no lawyer or jurist but have al
ways been told that specific "overt
act" must be traced to the parties &C.
cused of such conspiracy before the
crime of conspiracy can be proven.
This we maintain has not been done in
the case of the Chicago Communists.
Again, if it be crime. if it be "con-
spiracY" to counsel the use of force as a
means of settling the labor troubles what
must we say of such utterances as these
"Hand-grenades (bombs) should be
thrown among those who are striving to
obtain higher wages, as by such treat
ment they would be taught valuable
lesson, and other strikers woul1 take
warning by their fate"
There shall be blood and rivers of it
before the policy of the governm ent
shall be changed"
"Give them the rifle diet for few
days, and see Low they like that kind of
bread"
The simplest plan, probably, when
one is not a member of humane So
ciety, is to put strychnlne or arsenic in
the meat and other supplies furnished
tramps. This produces death in a short
time, and is warning to other tramps
to keep out of the neIghborhood."
"a huge dried beef cutter to slice
them up in very thin slices, with salt
and pepper thrown in between each
slice, the slicing to commence at the feet
and work upwards would be good to
suppress freedom of speech"
These are the well-known utterances
of capitalists and their allies. If men
must be condemned for "incendiary"
language, would 1t not be the fair thing
to include the capitalists whose utter
ances we have just quoted ?-Lucifer.

mankind expands; without them it
would have been stifed. They are few

II Is now probable that before
the end Of this month the IoDg-ex-
pected advertisements for proposals
to build the four vessels authorized
By the Forty eighth Congress will
appear. The delay 10 issuing them
has been great, but the plans have
been prepared with unusual study
and care; and if the results come up
TO the present expectation, the course
pursued viii be fully vindicated.

Naval cadets do not fare in some
respects as well as military cadets
under the Legislation Of Congress.
The number Of vacancies created in
the Second Lieutenancies of the army
in any year is babitually much greater
than 10 the corresponding COM
missions of the navy. Congress, too,
has this year restored the old enact
ment under which surplus graduates
of West Point >become additional
Second Lieutenants, and then take up
future vacancies as they occur. But
for the thirty-nine graduates Of An
napolis who have this year completed
their two years. sea service there are
only nineteen vacancies in the line,
and the surplus must be honorably
dismissed. There are also, 1t is true,
FIVE vacancies 10 the Engineer Corps,
but these will belong to the restored
cadet engineers, unless Congress
should otherwise provide for the lat
ter, 10 which case Eve more of this
years class will receive assignments.
The Naval War College has re-
ceived setback by the refusal of the
House to make aD appropriation for
it. Some congressman think that it
should be established at New London
or Annapolis; others, that it is not
needed at present at oil, and this lat
ter was the view of large majority
of the House Naval Committee.
There are now already at Newport q
torpedo station and training school,
and the war college would make a
third independent naval institution in
.,Narragansctt Bay. Mr.. Lore. during
the debate, said be was not in favor
Of destroying the institution, but of
transferring it to Annapolis, because

library, lecture rooms, arms and
equipments required. with ample
grounds, and even very large IN

a plot Of 100 acres, and now boarded
up and untenante6. Why a new
plant with q large expenditure,
should be created elsewhere be could
not understand. To Mr.. Sayers, also,
the only possible ground for going to
Coasters Harbor Island seemed to be
that the latter was . delightful sum-
mer residence, near a fashionable wa
tering place. With this doubt as to
the proper place for the war college.
and the further doubt as to whether
any such institution is needed until
we first have a genuine navy the pro.
ject was defeated in the House. It
remains to be seen what view the
Senate takes.
