CHICAGO, May 4.-On the 8Oth inst. the
Haymarket monument is to be unvailed,
and that the Anarchists are already pre-
pairing for the event is evidenced by the
issuance by some secret printing estab-
lishment of an inhammatory circular,
copies of which fell into the hands of the
police yesterday. One of the circulars was
inclosed in an envelope and sent to Chief
Hubbard yesterday morning. Another
was found lying on the base of the monu-
ment in Haymarket Square. It is be-
lieved that many other copies of the cir
cular have been secretly circulated among
the Anarchists, who are known to be still
loyal to the memory of Spies, Parsons
and the rest. The circular reads as fols
lows:
May 4, 1885, and November II, 1857.
May 4, 1886! A peaceable meeting attacked
by $50 armed policemen acting under orders OF
well-known bully and rufiian, contrary to the
commands OF the mayor OF the city. An un
known hand throws a deadly and death-dealinE
missile, and in moment the air is rent by the
shrieks and groans OF wounded and dying men
And this is the result OF the disobedience, the
coWardlce and hatred OF one man.
CITIZENS: Ycu are asked to commemorate
by your attendance at the unvailing of the
statue erected to the memory OF the policemen
who fell on that terrible night the bravery %,
not OF the common people who had no choice
but to obey, but of the Bonfield, whose
murderous act caused untold suffering. Some
Of you who read this will listen, it may be. with
approval to the recital OF the awful scenes of
that memorable night. With vehemence and
great eloquence skillful orators will picture to
you the situations and strong appeals will be
made to your patriotism and your prejudices.
Passions which time has cooled. will be again
aroused. and the hated Anarchists who, you
viii be told, entirely responsible for this
dreadful affair, will be painted as 1ends in hu-
man form. So have the people ever been
blinded by cunning knaves. But stopi Have
you ever given thought to the patient suffer
ing, the cruel persecution, the Unjust trial and
conviction and the base murder of five of the
real victims OF the Haymarket tragedy! Or to
the undeserved punishmenti compared with
which death would be merciful, to the other
three2 Have you forgotten the self-sacrihce
and grandeur of spirit and bearing of the man
who voluntarily surrendered himself to share
the fate of his comrades? Do guilty men thus
voluntarily return to meet certain death2
Ali friends, ask yourselves these questions
IN sober earnestness, and then listen without
blush OF shame, if you can, to your orators as
they tell you this is the freest country on the
face OF the earth. This kind of patriotism. like
the song of the siren, puts you to sleep whilst
you drift on to certain slavery You remember
the trial Ct our friends7 HOW the public pros

friends with all the malevoleuce of fiend.
How he adopted every device known to cows

mOney-power, whose willing tool he was.
There are many incidents connected with the
trial which still remain to be told. The time
will come for the ample justification OF our
comrades; but it is not quite yet, and you who
pay your tribute to brave men, and eXult IL
the triumph of law, consider for a moment at
what fearful price that triumph was secured.
When you assemble on the thirteenth OF May,

While ''law and ORDER relgned supreme with
in the Jail on that sad November morning, with
out the walls was being enacted another scene.
At the very moment when the devoted husband
and father was being prepared for eternity, the
faithful wife with her two children was seeking

Gently returned to power, the almost heart
broken woman and the two children were
stripped stark naked. This at the very moment
the husband and father was giving up his life,
willing sacrifice to his convictions.
On the fourth of May, 1886, free speech was
dealt stunning blow. On the eleventh Of No
vember, 1887, free speech was killed outright
choked in the utterance of one OF its noblest
champions-and every sentiment of deceucy
was outraged in the brutal treatment OF Mrs.
Parsons.
On the monument at the Haymarket should
be inscribed in letters OF fire these words:
Erected to commemorate the strangling of
free speech and the shame of an enslaved peo-
rle."
Chief Hubbard was interviewed con-
cerning the circular late yesterday after
noon. He said he scarcely thought it
possible that the Anarchists will attempt
an outbreak on the day the statue is un-
vailed. He says every preca ution will be
taken, however, to secure the safety Of
