CHICAGO, May 4.-On the 3oth 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 inaammatory 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. 1t 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 fol-
lows:
May l. 1885, and November II, 1887.
May 4, 1885, A peeeeable meeting attacked
by $50 armed policemen acting under orders Of
well-known bully and ruf1an, contrary 70 the
commands of the mayor OF the city. An un-
known hand throws a deadly and death-dealing
missile, and In o moment the air is rent by the
shrieks and groans of wounded and dying men,
And this is the result OF the disobedience, the
cowardice 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, she bravery ~,

but to obey, but OF the man Bonfleld, whose
murderous act caused untold suffering. Some
Of you who read this will listen, II 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 situation, and strong appeals will be
made to your patriotism and your prejudices.
Passion, which time has cooled, will be again
aroused and the hated Anarchists who, you
VIII be told, are entirely responsible for this
dreadful affair, will be painted as hends In hu-
man form. So have the people ever been
blinded by cunning knaves. But stopi Have

conviction and the base murder Of Eve Of the
real victims Of the Hsymarket tragedy. Or to
the undeseryed punishment, compared with
which death would be mercful, to the other
threeS Have you forgotten the self-sacrince
and grandeur OF spirit and bearing of the man
who voluntarily surrendered himself TO share
the fate Of his comradess Do guiky men thus
voluntarily return to meet certain death!
An! friends, ask yourselves these questions
IN sober earnestness, and then listen without
blush Of shame, II 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. of our friendsi How the public pros
ecutor, States-Attorney Grnnell, pursued our
friends with all the malevolence OF q nend.
How be adopted every device known TO cow
ards and knayes-intimidation, bribery, jury
packing and force-to carry out the Will OF the
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 IN
the triumph OF law consider for q moment At
what fearful price that triumph was secured.

think also OF the eleventh OF November. See
the four martyrs 10 free speech and liberty, as
they stand transfgured on the dreadful scat
fold. See the proud, triumphant look which
lights their faces! Hear the voices OF Fischer
and Engie exultingly shout for the cause they
loved dsarer thah life! Hearken To the
warning and prophetic voice Of Spies as he
foretells the time when their silence will speak
in thunder tones! Listen again TO the last ap-
peal OF the noble Parsons-choked in its very
utterance-
While "law and order" reigned supreme with

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 hrs convictions.
On the fourth Of May, 1885, 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-aud every sentiment OF decency
was outraged in the brutal treatment OF Mrs.
Parsons.
On the monument ct 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-
pie"
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 ia un-
vailed. He says every preca ution will be
taken, however, to secure the safety or
life and property upon that day.
