The sentiment OF the country seems
decidedly In favor OF building a fleet
capable Of efficiently aiding in the de-
fense Of our coasts and of maintaining
our rights and interests abroad. Such q
fleet must necessarily be composed Of a
variety OF vessels, armored and unar-
mored, and can be created only at con-
siderable expense. Congress having
already provided for these additional
vessels Of 1900 tons has seemingly de-
clared in favor OF the swift cruiser, Of
which type the Concord and Bennington
are excellent examples.

One of the most venomous and radical
ever published, was printed recently in New
York and has been distributed all over the
country. The borders on the pages are
printed in black, to signify mourning, with
black lines coming together in the centre to
represent two gallows frames. On the cover
of the pamphlet is inscribed in bold, letters,
''In memorism of the marsyred working
people murdered in Chicago, Nov. ii, 1887"
1t is addressed To the working people. and
recites that five men suffered "Crime such
as history never witnessed before. There
was not even q shadow of evidence produced
to show that they had violated those bsrbsr-
Gus laws which society puts forth in justif
cation of their judicial msdeeds.
Then follows this declaration daring

instead, working people passed resolutions.
How different it might have been if those
who participated in this kind of .dsmonstra-
lion had made bold front. as the urgency
Of the situation demanded. Whoever still

served has no right to the title of man. He
belongs to the category of brutes."
Circular concludes by calling on anar-
chists, socialists, trades unionists. Knights of

iivide good and evil into two camps and
rally under the standard of social revolution.

scious in Consequence.

Notwithstanding the fact that the pr0prie-
tors of Hotel North have caused to be posted
in every room csutionary plscards against

who will persist in doing this same foolhardy
act. Oa Monday evening young lady
ham, came to the city in answer to an adver-
tisement for a table girl at Hotel North.
She is quite iesby, about thirty five years Of
age, and des,red work in the dining room.
She was assigned to room No G7 and about

escaping gas told only too plainly the
cause of her stupor. Windows and doors
were opened, the gas turned on and physi-
clan summoned. Upon his arrival al wss

from her unconscious condition but seeming

could be observed. Antidotes were given
