ANARCHY Is DEAD.
And Judge Grinnell Thinks Socialism
Would Die with Protection.

CHICAGO, March l6.-A large audience at the
kenwood club last night listened TO a paper on
Socialism in America" by Judge Grinnell.
who was states attorney in the anarchist trial
There was frequent applause. Judge Grinnell
said:
The eager desire Of party leaders to obtain
and retain Office keeps socialism and its atten-
dant evils alive. In Chicago anarchism is ex-
aggcratod out of all proportion to it's power for
no good purpose, and some members of both
political parties seem inclined to act 80 az to
catch this clement In my opinion the talk
about the anarchists during this last winter has
been wilitul, wicked exaggeration
Of their power, an injury to the
fair name OF Chicago, serious detrment to
Its business interests, and confidently believe
the purpose Of such exaggeratiOn was purely
political. Anarchy as an organization il dead
III America. Its advocates have resolved them
selves back into their former state or parent
age, namely. socialism. The Yankee law has
terrified them. But We cannot. with the same
ease, brush aside socialism. That's here not to
be snuifed out. IL can only be evaded by re-
turning to the fundamental principles of our
government, escbewng paternaism and class
legislation. Ny conscientious, firm conviction
IL that protection, so called, Is wrong in prin-
ciple. fosters and encourages socialism. is in
fact socialism. and that with it, absolute abol-

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW IoRK, March l6.-The stock market
opened this morning with great squirt of ac-
tivity while it was again decidedly weak. first
prices as compared with last evenings figures
being from y to q per cent lower. There was
heavy pressure of stocks for sale in the early
dealings, but the offerings were absorbed and
some recovery was made from the low prices Of
the opening, advances ranging up to Is per
cent. The demand afterward Stacked off, how
ever, and everything retired below opening
figures, when there was less animation. The
pressure was renewed and while the general
list was fairly well held, cotton oil lost / and
Tennessee coal q. Later better tone pre-
vailed and the market became quiet, some
stocks again reaching first figures. St. Paul.
Missouri Pacific, Reading aud Burlington were
the most active stocks, but there was fair
business in most of the active shares At IL
o'clock the market was active and firm and gen.

PLEASANT PLACES.
The Scramble Among Army Officers
for Staff Appointments.

1t is one Of the ambitions Of regular army
officer to obtain position in one Of the staff
departments, where promotion il more rapid,
grades are higher the duties are more agree
able, and the stations more pleasant The best
indication of this general desire is found in the
strife that always takes place whenever a va
cancy occurs in one OF these attractive Ravens,
1t frequently being the case that so officers of
the line are applicants for the place. while it is
not unusual to find the number running up to a
hundred There are already, it is understood,
upwards Of a hundred applicants for the va
cancy that will be caused by the promotion
incident to the retirement of Adjt. Gen. Drum
on the 18th OF May. The position will be that
OF an assistant adjutant-general with the rank
OF major, and captains Of the line are busy
discussing their chances.
THE TWO KINDS.
There has always been, since the war, much
rivalry between the graduates of the military
academy and those officers appointed to the
army from the volunteers or from civil life, es-
pecially in regard to the matter Of staff ap-
pointments, and neither side has been slow to
claim an undue preference given to the other.
WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
The following memorandum, prepared BY an
army officer with great care, shows the exact
number of officers in the various staff depart
ments with reference to the source of the ap-
pointments. 1t shows the state of the staff at
the present time, and excludes the engineers,
ordnance corps, chaplains, and medical corps,
since they are not open to general appoint
ment from the army. OF the seventeen officers
in the adiutant-general's department, eleven
are graduates and six graduates: Inspector
generals department, one graduate and six
not, judge advocates department, two gradu-
ates, six not; quartermaster's department,
twenty graduates and thirty-seven not; subsis-
tence department, eighteen graduates, eight
not; pay department. three graduates, thirty
eight not. This gives total of 156 officers OF
whom IS are graduates and 101 non-graduates

ATTACKING THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Presidents Afternoon Reception
and His Army of Callers.

There was a reception in the east room at
o'clock. This was half hour earlier
than the public expected it would be, but
there was nevertheless, goodly crowd present.
The President commenced to shake hands a.
the hour named, and in. ten minutes had
exhausted the supply-there were no more
callers i'll the room~ There was crowd in the
corridor though. and outside there were not
less than three hundred people en- route to meet
the chief executive. They did not accomplish
their design, for, finding that handwriting ma
terial had run out, and knowing nothing of the
crowd that was SO near, the President left the
room and went to his lunch.
The crowd that came after was made.up of dis
appointed people. and some of them were even
angry. few of the more indignant thought
the President ought to stand in the east room
for at least half an hour whether there were
callers enough to keep him busy or not.
EDII'n: MEDILI.
Shortly after o'clock Mr. Jos. Medill, Of the
Chicago Tribune called, and was ushered into
Secretary Halford's Office. He held quite a
lengthy conversation with the secretary
and then chatted for awhile with the President,
who had invited him to call.
Five minutes later Senator Harris called; he
remained upstairs for half an hour and departed
with a woebegone expression all over his coun-
tenance.
SOUTH WASHINGTON DELEGATION,
composed of Rev. Father Donnelly, Dr. D. Fl.
Hazen, c. II. Parker, and NJ. J. Colbert, called
to see the President, but as he WAS at lunch
they talked to Secretary Halford They
indorsed n. S. Shea the proper person TO
succeed 5. Z. Wheatley as District Commits
slvi,cr.
Sen.tors Blair and Quay went in at little
after 2:30, and ten minutes later Secretary
Noble trampcd upstairs and was admitted to
see the President.
CANDIDATES BEGINNING TO GROwL.
A great many of the candidates are begin
ming to growl because of the Presidents DELHI
crate in making appointments, but their
growls will have ample time to increase
in volume and reverberative power be-
fore the present plan of campaign is
changed. 1t has practically been decided to
move slowly as to many changes, but especially
will that slowness be visible with regard to the
consular service.
1t is understood. and it has been so stated bv
an unexceptionable authority, that Secretary
Blaine cOntemplates a complete uverhauling of
the consular service. A number of promo
tons will be made, and where the dead
wood" has been cleared out the necessary APP
pointments will be made. Several of the more
important cOnsulates will be filed by men in
the service in whom the secretary has especial
confidence. This action will close
up the avenues to a number Of important APP
pOintments over which many candidates have
gloated and on which they have built castles of
sand. If Secretary Blaine insists on following
out this program he will kill the
a. pirations of good many enthusiasts and he
will delay the minor appointments so long tina,
the ofiice-seekers will all have gone home to
vote at the next presidential election.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
CONSULTING WITH THE ATTORNEY

CONSULTING WITH THE ATTORNEY
The Commissioners are holding q consulta-
ton this afternoon with Attorney Davis.
Two questions under consideration are the
legality Of Mr.. Talty's appointment as assessor
in district in which it is claimed he is
not resident, and the construction Of
the militia law. on the point whether the
assessors are required to make the assessment
Commissioner Webb said to-day that he did not
consider the law mandatory in respect to the
assessors making the enrolment. Commits
sioner Wheatley said that if Mr.. Webb's con-
struction of the law prevailed the police would
be required to make the enrolment.

REMUNERATIVE OFFICES.
Missourians after the Consul G eneral-
ship at London.

The Mssourians were on hand to-day mar
shaled by Representative Wade and with an
appetite for Office that cannot be satisfied. They
are possessed of pertenacity that is uneqalled
by any of the delegations from other regions
and they propose to get what they want with
out regard to the wishes of others. Among the
latest candidates from "Mizzoura" is Benjamin
G. Farrar, OF st. Louis, who thinks he possesses
all the qualifications which should mark
the character of man who ought
to be an inspector in the Indian
bureau. He is making a strong fight.
WANTS TO BE coSsUL-GENERAL TO LONDON.
Another Missourian, who is anxious to be
somebody in this administration, is Chauncey
1. Filley. He did lots of work during the last
ought to be recognized and his labor
rewarded by giving him the appointment
of consul-general at London The delegation
talked to the President about it, but they failed
TO p,0oi receive soor any eneourngement The
about shooting high" and bowed out.
Then they attacked Secretary Blaine
and he was less diplomatic. He said Mr. Filley
could not possibly get that place, not because
he was not thoroughly equipped for the position,
but because it had already been promised to
some other man.
MINISTER TO VIENNA.
The delegation, following some of the mys-
terious intricacies Of political mathematics,
came to the conclusion that the Office in
question had been pre-empted by John C. New.
Mr.. News friends say, however, that there is no
such arrangement; that Mr. New wants to be
and will be minister to Austria. The court at
Vienna is a particularly brilliant one, and to
eniov its social pleasures is said to be the aim
of Mrs. New and her daughters.
The office OF consul-general at the British
capital is not, however, to be sneezed at. and
the probabilities are that no man to whom it is
likely to be offered will refuse it. Just what it
pays is mystery, but those who
ought to know say that the
emolumeuts are rarely less than $4,000 in a
year, while some say that the figures have at
times exceeded 100000. Socially the position
is beneath that Of an ambassador, and it is the
social feature. which attracts Mrs. New
