Comments IofIthe Press in the United
states and Abroad.

States and Abroad.
With the Exception of the socialist or
gans the press generally commends the
conviction of the Chicago anarchists. The
Chicago Times says: "The verdict OF the
jury is just, perfectly just and righteous,
This is and will be the judgment not only
of American people, but of every civilized
people on earth. 1t is Il mandate of JUS
tice that it only remains for the ministers
of the law to fulfill 1t will be fulfilled"
The Chicago daily NclCS says: ut is a
verdict admirable in its completeness,
and when its sentence is executed on the
scaffold it will tell the world that in Chi
cago and throughout this Union the VIII
of the community is stronger than any OF
its disaffected elements"
The Illinois Stddts XCitung says: The
great American republic has announced to
the whole world through the mouths of II
honest men in Chicago that freedom IS not
synonymous with the overthrow of the
principles of we'll ordered governmental
and social states, and that II understands
how to protect the true American free
dom against that contemplate European
outgrowth, anarchy"
VOICE OF THE NEW YORK PRESS.
The Tribune says: america, which
is in nowise responsible for the use of
dynamite as political agent, sternly sets
its face against its naturalization here 1t
says to every one of these foreign con
spirators, "An anarchist is murderer
when he plots and commits murder, and
as murderer he must be punished under
| American law.
The New York StGdts Zcitlng says
"The mass of the people undoubtedly re-
joice over the verdict, which is of the
utmost Importance for the holy name OF
humanity and for mankind. But we
trust that the GROWING point of this pros
ecution will be Johann Most's eXtradition
to the authorities of the State of Illinois. -
The World says: 1--WE constitute a
free nation, but there is no resting place
for anarchy among us. The announce
ment is made in fearful manner, but in
one that is strictly legal"
The sun says: The best intelligence
that has been printed in many a day,
wholesome and cheering to all who respect
law and order and love their country is
that which comes from Chicago"
The Heruld says: "The verdict will be
hailed with a general satisfaction not
equalled since that which followed the
conviction of Guiteau. The jury has done
a national service
The TolkS Zeittng, the recognized So
cialist organ of the city says: This IS
not the place to crticise the theories and
tactics OF the convicted men. w Z see Ill
their murderers only the representatives
of class hatred and in the convicted simply
their victims, martyrs of their convictions.
Instead of roofing out the belief of the
necessity of revolution by force, the Off
cial murderers in Chicago will soon find
out that they have sowed very bad seed
when they sent their victims to the gal
lows"
WHAT ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS SAY.
The New York Hcrdid's London de
spatch says the conviction of the Chicago
anarchists and their capital sentences is
the sensational topic of the hour in Lon
don. The government organ, the Morn
ing Post, congratulates Chicago on the
verdict of the jury and says: 1.-THE Amer.
leans have shown that they give short
shrift to foreign miscreants who have as
sailed law and order in the United States
1t may in time become desirable that
some international action should be taken
for the suppression of such conspirators. y
The Chronicle says Now that the
American government has expressed sc
clearly its refusal 10 differentiate between
destruction of life and property on alleged
political motives and the same offences
committed without that lame excuse, il
can hardly refuse to complete the nego
tiations recently begun for the conclusion
of an eXtradtion treaty expressly intend
ed to deal with crimes committed under
the veil of politics."
