"The great trouble with temper

in their want of courage to act out
their principles. The absolute NOR

good men is astounding. The cheap

and turn them aside from the plain

tell officially whether there was a quorum
present or not. The present occupant of
the chair did not like to rule on this ques-

been one or two motions TO adjourn which
had been treated somewhat cautiously
and it was time that the house should
come TO some reasonable arrangement as

The "edito,s" who were proposed to be helped,
Judging from the court records, were Messrs. Har-

most out-spoken anarchistic and free-love papers
in the United States. Both were, and are yet,
