Harrington is thriving town along
the Delaware railroad, and the enter
prise displayed by her citizens is won
derful. Her manufacturing interests
are prosperous, her stores thriving, her
schools good, her hotels up to the

a straight-out temperance paper, and
will have another weekly started dur

This is a fair score for town of one

which was presented to congressional

The Chicago Anarchist.

The Anarchists of Chicago will very
probably have their hatred for the laws
of this country considerably strength
ened before the law-dispensers get
trough with them. Twenty-Five in
dictment have already been found
against the followers of the red flag
who advocate bomb throwing and the
slaughter of policemen. The leading
spirits of the Chicago outrage have
been covered with indictments until it
would seem impossible for them to find
a loop-hole of escape Justice will not
have done her work half unless a
group of the cOmmunistic fends- are
carefully swung from a well-adjusted
scafold. There will be no trouble to
secure juries to bring in verdicts that
will strike a popular chord. The An
archists waited long time to strike a
blow" and they were well beaten at
the first attempt. The Chicago au-
thOrities are doing their very best to
get at the root of the disease, but the
work of eradication should be thorough
to be lasting. The individual Anarch-
| ist who is punished considers himself a
martyr to the cause, but when the
whole nest of plotters are brought up
with a sudden pull there is no one left
! to admire their martyrdOm.

John Most and two of his fellow
Anarchists have been convicted on the
charge of unlawful assembly. We
hope they will get the full punishment
allowed by law-One years imprison-

Recorder may be trusted to give it to
them. 1t is indeed about time that
men of this sort should understand
that it is one thing to enjoy the privil-

Criminal Immigrants.

No intelligent man we think will
deny that, large percentage of the
immigrants now landed in this country,
represents the criminal classes and off
scourlngs OfEurOpean cities, and which
should not be allowed a foothold on
our soil. The recent anarchist demon
stratiOns in Chicago indicate the pre-
dominance of this foreign element
among the working classes of that citv.
and which wherever it exists. unfurl's
the bloody flag of communism. the un-
welcome symbol of defiance of law.
and disregard of constituted authority.
A prominent journal is authority for
the recent statement that not long ago
an Italian Senator, who had been on a
tour through Northern Europe, return
ed and told his Senate that Italy was
/ behind the times in dealing with crimi-
mails; that in Northern Europe he
/ found that it was customary to send
regular shipments of criminals and
/ paupers to the United States from
their irOver-crowded prisons and asylums.
so far as one European country is
concerned it is evident that this Italian
Senator's statement is perfectly true.
/ Correspondence between Secretary
Bayard and Austria, on the subject of
examining the baggage of certain Bo-
hemian revOlutiOnists, shows that Aus
tria ships her criminals here, knowing
that they are such, and without inform
ing our government of their danger
Gus character.
1t is known fact that Europe for
several years has made the United
States a dumping ground, as the
Springfield Republican aptly says, for
its " scOundrels, pauper lunatics," to
its benefit and our injury. The leaders
in most of the strikes are foreign agita-
tors. The anarchists and most of the
paupers and criminals are foreigners.
1t is time to put stop to this. 1t is
time for Congress, as Labor Commits
siOner Wright suggests, to consider
what reasonable and humane regula-
tiOns may be adopted relative to immi-
grafton, and see to it that labor is not
lowered, either in standard or through
earnings, by the pernicious method OF
impOrtatiOns by contract" of pauper
labor. The United States must nc
longer be a free Botany Bay for

William B. Wilson, Harrisburg boy, one

present in charge Of the freight department
of the Pennsylvania railroad at Kensington
Philadelphia, was ON duty at the White
house, doing President Lincoln's private
work. One evening Mr.. Lincoln took a
seat by Mr.. Wilson's chair and. as was his
custom, had the operator connect with the
headquarters of different generals. that ne
might enjoy private chat. He had been
thus engaged for some time when secretary
Seward was announced and entered the
room. Seward had evidently been dining.
He drew his chair up to that of Mr.. Lincoln
and in a loud voice began to tell the presi-
dent what he thought was the proper So
luton of the Mason and Slldell affair.
Several times Lincoln interrupted him and
endeavored to change the subject, but every
time Seward returned to the charge and
tried to finish what he had to say. Finally
Lincoln laid his hand on Stewards knee and
said in tone that the latter could not mis-
take: MY dear Mr.. Secretary, let US talk
of something that will interest our young
friend here" pointing to Wilson. HE
seems to be lonesome and we ought to
keep him company" Seward understood
He was splitting out state secrets that Mr.
Lincoln didn't want MIR. Wilson or anybody
else to hear outside OF the cabinet. Then
Lincoln told story and Wilson pretended
that he hadn't heard word Seward had
said. But he had. just the same.

railroad matters, committee was appointed
to go to Minneapolis this morning and have

Ste. Marie & Atlantic railway in regard to
the Turtle Lake route to Minneapolis. The
committee consists Of Hon. E. w Durant,
Col. R. +. Hersey and Messrs A. X. Doe. ia
cob Bean, Matt Clark and others. Many Still
water men think that the Wisconsin Central
road and the 500 road will ultimately come to
Saltwater. The report that the Wisconsin
Central has purchased the tracks of the
Transfer company here in order to pass
through the city, is probably untrue.
At the annual meeting of the Union Ele-
vator company on Saturday, Isaac Staples, E.
w. Durant s. Mathews, William G. Bronson
and E. l.. Hersey were elected directors. The
officers elected were e. w. Durant president.

BARRETT SAVED sY BOOTH.
The Trag ediaa's Narrow Escape
from Drowaing While Fishing.

The Trages1iaa,s Narrow Escape
from DroWaing While Fishing.
Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian,
came very near being drowned at Cohas-
sett last week, according to the veracious
Eugene Field in the Chicago News. Edwin
Booth was visiting him. and the two went
fishing with Messrs. Robson and Crane in
Mr.. Cranes beautiful yacht, the Neversink.
About three miles from shore the party
cast their lines in 200 feet of water and in a
few minutes Mr.. Barrett had an eighteen
pound rock cod on his hook. A fearful
struggle ensued, but in his attempt to land
the scaly monster Barrett was dragged
overheard.
Now. Barrett cannot swim stroke, and
in 200 feet of water it was a thousand to
one that he would drown. Booth whipped
off his boots and coat and plunged into the
briny depths after his brother tragedian.
and while the two were ioundering and
spluttering around in the biIlows Stuart
Robson, half dead with fright. scuttled be-
low deck for a couple of life-preservers.
With commendable presence of mind,
however, Crane seized boat-hook and
with remarkable skill succeeded in fishing
out the drenched and exhausted tragedians.
1t was an exciting experience and narrow
escape. but we suspect that his thorough
soaking in salt water was just what Mr..
Barrett needed.

Helen Huntand the interviewer.

In contradiction Of the widespread eulo-

are floating to the surface OF the river of

plimentary to the dead authoress, and at
the risk Of breaking the old proverb print
one that heard the other day on good

or two before her death she was interviewed
by lady in the East. 1t was understood
fully that the interview was a formal one
and designed for publication. In answer
to one or two leading questions" the H.

said some remarkably severe things. The
matter appeared in due time, and the sever
ity of her structures in cold print alarmed
the author. She became very angry and
wrote an exceedingly abusive letter to the
young journalist. She charged that her
confidential remarks had been ruthlessly
made public and that she was not aware
that the interview was intended for publ
cation. She ended by the threat that she
would do all she could to close every avenue
of literature against the young writer.
This was intended seriously, for it so inter-
fered with the latter's work that her
brother was obliged to write Mrs. jackson
that if her prosecutions of his sister did not
cease he would invoke the law to compel
her to do So
