The first anniversary of the hanging of the
Anarchists was observed in Chicago with
reasonable decorum All that the police and
city authorities could do to prevent celebra-
ton most repugnant to order-loving people APP
,oarc 10 have haon done and tho eYercieps we ra
confined to the cemetery where the murderers
were buried. 1t is pity that there was not
warrant OF law for prohibiting such an ex-
hibition altogether.
An article in our news columns contains a
list of the principal appointments that Mayor
Grant win be called upon to make on the
1st of next May. 1t is long array of i'm
p0rtant Offices No previous Mayor of New
York has had such vast authority and re-
sponsibility. The manner in which Mr.. Grant
executes his trust will be a crucial test Of the
wisdom of entrusting the Mayor with so much
undivided power. With the assumption of
grave responsibilities there usually comes a
SOLDERING and conserving influence, and it is
likely that the character Of Mr.. Grants ap-
pointments will be surprise to those who
thought the worst things possible from him dur
ing the campaign just ended.
That the Democratic Legislature in New
Jersey will proceed TO undo in whole or in part
the temperance legislation Of last March is al
most foregone conclusion. 1t is limited now,
however, that the majority will content them
selves with repeating the county option portion
of the law and with modifying the provisions
in regard to the forfeiture of licenses.
Whether this will be acceptable to the saloon
interests in Newark, Jersey City and Paterson
remains to be seen. The alliance between the
rum power and the Democracy is plain enough.
but as the license fees under the new law are
not excessive, varying from 81 90 to $3.50, the
liquor men may be content to postpone the en-
tire repeal Of the law until after the election
Of Governor next year.
Though the reputation of the builder is ex-
celent and the work has been under the in
spection Of an attache of the Armory Board. it
seems impossible that the heavy rear wall of
the new armory of the 9Th Regiment could have
been blown down by the high wind Of yestcr-
day if it had been properly constructed. The
wall was thirty-two inches thick and had
reached height Of seventy feet. The work
has been pressed forward rapidly, and, of
course, the mortar in the last courses Of bricks
had not had time to harden. Moreover, the
heavy rains on Saturday probably had some
what weakening effect. But although. by good
fortune, the collapse occurred at time when
nobody was at hand to be crushed TO death, the
accident calls for an immediate investigation Of
the materials and workmanship.
Last August the people of Dakota sent q
