TnE developments as TO conspiracy by
certain Anarchists 10 destroy the lives and
property Of the judges, prosecuting attorney
and police inspector engaged in the prose.
cu,ion and punishment OF the anarchists
who were hanged last year, are OF a char.
acter to almost terrorze the people OF Chi
cago. The IIaymarkct affair was as mere
chiids play compared with this plan of
wholesale slaughter by the Bohemians
Pronek, Chapek. Chcbowa and others.
They prepared their bombs and matured
their plans with ,lciberation, and like the
Locomotive Engineers who conspired to
blow up trains on the Chicago. Burlington

consequences might be 10 thousands Of in
nocent persons. They were blind TO
everything but their fanatical determine

COMPROMISE FOR CRITTENDEN


The refusal Of Gov. Hughes to interfere
in the affairs of dCittenden county makes
it more and moro apparent that the white
and black citizens should accommodate
their dihercnces. BY mutual compromise.
The men who have been driven from
their homes should be invited 10 return.
This done they should next be invited to
assist in tracing to the writer or writers
the anonymous letters which justly ex-
cited the indignation Of the best white men
OF the county, and which induced some
OF them to lend their aid and counte-
nance TO the extreme and unlawful
measures by which certain negroes
have been made exiles from their
homes, their families and their property.
There must be basis OF compromise
somewhere in all this confusion, and il dill
igent search is made il can he found. The
APPEAL suggests that some OF the more in
huential white men take the initial steps
toward II and thus relieve Crittenden
from tho STAN put upon her by seem
ing preference for mob force and vio-
lenc". Tho charge Of Judge Reddick,
30 conclusive us to the pros and cons Of
tho unfortunate affair, stands before the
public Of the United States as an authori-
tativc declaration Of the origin, growth and
results OF II, and until settlement is had,
until compromise is agreed upon, it will
stand Ms distinct declaration OF lawless-
ness, fatal to the future Of the county and
that OF every man in it, Justice and right
must prevail II prosperity and peace are
TO shine from every mans door.
