A Possible Glue 90 the Man Who
Threw the Bomb.

AhN&NN Nup hhphhHs
CHICAGO, Nov. ST was not generally
known until to-day that Henry Jansen,
who made murderous assault upon his
wife early Friday morning, was mem
Der of the tNorth Side Group" one Of
the most rabid anarchist organizations in
the city, and the night of the bomb ex.
plosion was within few feet Of the place
from where the deadly missile was hurled
into the ranks of the marching policemen.
knowledge resulting from his identifca-
ton has led to the discovery of what may
be a definite clue to the bomb-thrower.
The night the bomb was thrown Jansen
left his wife about O'Clock, stating that
he had an important anarchist meeting to
attend and intimating that there would be
trouble Of some kind before the night was
over. He did not return until after A
o'clock the following morning, and in
reply to his wife's question as TO where
be had been replied: ~ told you there
would be trouble"
When the subject was again preached
it was tn the presence of all the members
of the Jordan family, Jansen's wife, her
two brothers and her mother. Jansen
became very much incensed when some
suggested that the crime WAS diabolical
one and that the arrested men should be
| found guilty of murder and hanged. He
maintained that none OF the arrested men
were directly connected with the throwing
| Of the bomb. His statements never went
beyond this until 10 days ago, when,
being in an affeotionnte and confidential
mood, he informed his wife that he was
/ present the night the bomb was thrown
/ Ia ~ r,p1sna. tlaf he oNr
next TO the man who threw 1t; that be
saw it thrown, and that he knew the mar
who threw 1t. This was communicated
to the other members Of the family, AND
on several occasions the propriety Of in
forming the police was discussed, but tn,
matter was permitted to drag along unit
the attempt to kill the wife Friday
morning.
She had previously told him that sh,
had never informed any one of what b,
had confided to her, but IL ia now believed
that his attempt to get her out of the wa.
was because he repented of having re
vealed as much as he did, and was afrait
that his disclosures might eventually lea,
him into greater trouble than merely kill
ing his wife. That the attempted killing
Of his wife was premeditated is shown b,
the fact that he had made every arrange
ment for instant departure, but her acct
dental awakening precipitated the al
tempt. Mrs. Jansen says that her hus
band also confided the name of the maj
who did the bomb throwing. Owing :
her feebleness and the nature of he
wounds IL has been impossible to obtail
the name distinctly. 1t sounds lik
"Shurbeld." The police believe sh
means the missing suspect, Schnaubelt.

The true inwardness of Virginia's state

"If the bondholders or their agents know
anything about the sentiment of the yir-

know that if the Riddleberger act should
ever be repealed it would only be the first
step towards the utter Reputation of the

regret it, there can be no gainsaying the

Although the Union Iron Works of San

exceeded the maximum amount fixed in

that the government be authorized Ia

through which industry not only carries the
entire burden, but actually pays tribute
to fiscal corporations and individuals.
That the enormous wealth produced in
this country during the past forty years has
resulted in so greatly widening the two
classes into rich and poor, and which has
created great number of many times mill
lionaires, while poverty has been on a con-
tinual and progressive increase, indicates
that our application of national economies
has been grossly unfair. This unfairness is
directly traneable to the unequal method of
taxation which has left personal property,
that includes money, bonds securities, as
well as mere chattels, free or nearly free
from taxation. That this form of property
has grown to such enormous proportions
is clearly perceived in the fact that
these hypothecations of real property
have overshadowed, in : fact devoured
nearly all forms of real property through
which taxation is now levied. In the United
States, upon an assessed valuation of SIS ,O0O.-
100000, 81, 600, 100000 are hypothetical into
some form of security, which receives its
profit in interests until this profit represents
the productive or earning capacity of the
realty upon which it is based, and yet pays
no adequate share In the expenses of govern
ment, which are thrown on the original
realty that is already oYerburdened with an
interest account.
All the vast expenses OF the civil war have
been paid out of productive industry, and by
the soldiers who fought and the farmers and
artisans who maintained the contest. 1t
represents alone more than $4,000, 000, 900,
and this vast amount has in one or another
way gone into few. very few, pockets, while
legislation in all ways has adjusted taxation
to that end, and gone further on the road to
national poverty by failing to make these
pockets sustain their share of its costs and
interests. Five millions of tenant farmers
out of total of seven and a half tell this
story plainly enough. Men with their hun
dreds of millions, accumulated IN less than
generation, tell it in a different way.
Mr.. Morrison's bill, however it may be re-
ceived by the class who have controlled and
yet control legislation, will be the most pop
ular move ever made in America. He can
not hope to succeed with it now, but he has
opened question so fundamental to the
necessities and the interests of Americans,
and in fact to the world. now staggering
under loads of debts, which create single
plutocracy in every form of government,
that its success is as certain as fate, or as il
is founded upon equities primarily essential
to the free government and prosperity of any
people. 1t is of those fundamental ques
tons that govern many grave but inductive
evils. 1t is capitalization so long needed
to make an effective unity OF popular inter
ests of all the politico- economic question:
that have engaged the attention of the Ameri
can people for the past fifteen years.

King, as it happens, and has been for genera
tions. 1t is no more appropriate to patriotic
ceremonies here than the "Marseillaise" or
''Parlant Pour La Syrie," OF the French, or
"Die Wacht Am Rhine" of the Germans.
1t is pity II we must appro-
pirate the national air of another
country to our own national and
patriotic occasions, when we have a
dozen wholly our own that are better. The
''5tar Spangled Banner or Hail Columbia"
are both better airs and "John Browns
Body" is finer altogether. We don't object
TO its performance occasionally, even on patri-
otto occasions, but we do object emphatical-
ly to its adoption here as a national air, and
its performance on occasions OF national in
terest to the exclusion of our own airs. We
are not music paupers to beg or borrow
other nations patriotic airs, and to any just
PERCEPTION and appreciation we look little
ridiculous when we do it. 1t is not as big a
thing as the fishery contest, certainly but 1t
would be quite well to be rid of it as
successfully. We never hear the English
adopting any of our national airs in their
national celebrations, or the French or the
Germans. They have national pride enough
to entertain themselves, or give expression
TO their patriotic feelings with their own
music. We Americans, who, fairly enough,
brsg of our points of advantage over other
countries, consent without a protest or even
thought of the shabby appearance we
make to them, and ought to feel that we
make to ourselves, to depend on them and
their national airs to complete our own ma
tlonal celebrations or ceremonies. 1t is not
much more cleditable than appropriating
some other nations flag, and Haunting it on
national occasions instead of our own.
