Escaping gas in the vault of the of
fee of the county clerk of Detroit,
Mich, caused an explosion last week.
A sixteen-inch brick wall was blown
into the corridor leading into the
county auditors office. The men in
the offices were thrown about under
desks and record cases. Over thou
sand people were in the building, and
receiver of taxes Office, just overhead,
was crowded with women paying taxes.
A panic ensued, the people tumbling
madly over each other in their hurry
to get down stairs and out of the build
ing. No one was injured seriously.

The people of Ireland will not give
up the plan of campaign to please the
Pope, and the only effect of the EN-
cyclical letter reiterating the decree of
condemnation will be to cause the peo-
pie to stay away from the churches
and apply the boycott to its revenues.
The land wars cannot be stopped from
the altar, and the priests can only re-
tain the leadership of the people by
walking in the way they wish to GO.
The Catholicism of ireland has been
quite as much national as religious,
aud if the church sets itself against
the people it will be the loser.

The Chicago Anarchists.
July 18th, 1883.

fthe reports which come from Chi
cago of the discovery of an anarchist
plot to assassinate two judges and two
of the higher police officials are true,
the people Of the United States must
realize that our laws and peace and
security are menaced by a deadly in
huence which must be extirpated.
There seemed to be some ground for
the belief, entertained by a good many
people at the time, that the Haymar-
ket riot was sporadic; that the import
ed seeds Of the new school of murder
had taken 70 firm hold on our soil, and
could not do so in land where every
man has equal advantages in the pur-
suit of all the objects of life under a
well ordered system Of free popular
government. 1t was so difficult to
imagine any motive for anarchistic
madness in America. where no one is
oppressed, that few could bring them
selves to realize the fact of its eXis-
tence here in any organized or danger
Gus shape. There were many who
wished to think that the fanatics who
had resorted to bombs and dynamite to
blow up the social fabric were crazy

Just, and more in accordance with our
humane instincts, to confine in luna
tic asylum than to hang. In fact the
development was a surprise, as the
present discovery is also, in spite of the
previous experience: but if the proof
of the plot is substantial, as the police
aver, and the existence of bands of as
sassins is established, organized for the
destruction of the ministers of the law
who brought the Haymarket rioters to
the scaffold, Chicago may surely count
upon the moral support of every Amer
lean citizen in roofing out the evil. 1t
is stated that the present plot which
was so fortunately frustrated, dates
back almost to the Haymarket riot,
and that the leader of the band has
been preparing ever since the execu-
tiOn of the rioters for the assassination
of the Judge and all who had been es-
pecially concerned in the prosecution.
The details of the plot which have
been published are startling enough to
arouse public sentiment everywhere.
To make war on the individuals in
whose hand the execution of the laws
is reposed is, in America, to make war
upon the people. The sentiments of
our people are opposed to the coward
| ly warfare of the dynamiter, and the
| sooner the anarchists realize it the bet
ter it will be for them. baltimore Sun.

are now quite fashionable in New York

spoils the strains, which is worth men

Ex-President Hayes bids fair to out
live the extravaganza of ridicule and
unpopularity which followed him after
his retirement from Office, and which
was the natural result of feeling that
his claim to the office was doubtful.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hayes surrounded
himself with an able and honest Cabi-
net, and the affairs of the country were
as we'll and honestly carried on during
his term of office as under any Presi-
dent in the history of the country. By
no means a great man, Mr. Hayes is
thoroughly patriotic, and it is pleasant
to note that at the Prison Reform Con-
gress in Boston he was received with
the respect due to his character and
public service.

THE EARLY REAPED.

Fl 'wers reaped early, while the dew
Is on them, day being new,
Know neither dust nor stain,
Or woes refrain,
Or thirst:
Light kisses them the first,
And they are fair
Because untouched by earth's STAN anywhere.
Lives reaped while life is new are pure,
Unsullied, bright, mature
In fairness, and replete
In all that makes remembrance sweet;
Redeemed
Before sins scar its way hath scanned,
Or anguish scored its deep drawn mark
Or dealt its thrust amidst the dark,
And they are fair
Because untouched by earth's stain anywhere

RIGHT TO FIX RATES.

Judge Brewer Upholds the Iowa Law,
But Says Rates Must BE Reasonable.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, July 2.-About
three weeks ago the Northwestern Rail
road Company applied to Judge Brewer,
of the Eighth circuit, for an injunction to
restrain the railroad commissioners of
Iowa from enforcing schedule of trans
portation rates which it has made under
the authority Of the Legislature, on the
grounds that the rates were so low that
they would bankrupt the road, and the
schedule was illegal because the Legis-
lature could not delegate it's power A
temporary injunction was granted and
an explanatory hearing was had in
this city. Judge Brewer has made a
decision which continues the temporary
injunction. In discussing the matter he
considered three questions-namely, the
legality of suit against the commission
ers, the right of Legislature to delegate
power to make schedule and the right of
the State to fix railroad tariffs.
He decides that an action on such case
as this is not strictly an action against the
State and can be maintained. He thinks
that the State may delegate such power to
railroad commissioners. At least he holds
that State courts have held that the dele.
cation of such power is constitutional. He
maintains that while the State has the
right to fix railroad rates it must make
them reasonable, that is, high enough to
maintain the roads, pay fixed charges and
a return to the stockholders, however
small.
The question not yet being settled that
the rates of the commissioners are reason
able in the sense that Judge Brewer used
the word, the injunction is continued for
further hearing on that point 1t is ex-
pected that sixty days at least will be re
quired to furnish such testimony.
