The Anarchists Not Detained by Due
Process of Law,

CHICAGO, May 15.-In a short time an
effort will be made to secure the release
from the penitentiary of the convicted
anarchists, Fielden, Schwab and Neebe,
by application to Judge Gresham of the
circuit court for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the prisoners are de-
tanned without due process of law No
less authority than Benjamin f. Butler
says that the effort will, almost beyond
doubt be successful, his opinion being
based on expressions of the United
States supreme court in proceedings
heretofore brought before that body.
Heneral Butler is regularly retained as
associate counsel in the case. Anarchist
LAWYERS say the writ of habeas corpus
VIII be asked for on the ground that
after sentence of death was PASSED upon
the condemned men and Neebe was
doomed To spend fifteen years in the
pen Tertiary. the case was appealed to
Inc supreme court, where the finding of
the lower court with the sentence of
death for Spies. Parsons, Lingg. Fischer
and Engel, Schwab and Fielden was
affirmed. The prisoners were not taken
before the supreme court TO hear this
affirmation of their sentences, and their
lawyers were not even notified to be
present. The claim was made that this
was a breach of their constitutional
rights, and that the constitution even
Went so far as 10 say that sentence of
death rendered in the absence of pris-
oners was not due process of law

The deepest mine is at ST. Andre du
torier. France. and yearly produces
100000 tons OF coal. The mine is
worked with two shafts. one 1852 feet
deep and the other 3.083. The latter
shaft Is now being deepened and will
soon touch the 1000 foot level. The
question which the depths of these
minds brings up is the feasibility OF
deeper prospecting In the west where
Iuel Is so scarce. II coal can be pro-
ntably brought up from such depth
tn other lands. why not on our western
tlains.

Independent Politics.

The tendency everywhere is toward
independent political action. You can
hear it on the streets, in the counting
houses and workshops. 1t is in the air
and the winds are carrying it across the
continent. Nebraska, Minnesota, Kan
sas, Arkansas and South Dakota, have
already broken camp and are on the
march with forty rounds in their car
fridge boxes and an adequate supply
train following on behind. Michigan
will join the column Oh the 3lst of this
month, while other states and many To-
calties say plainly and Enthusiastically
Hold the fort. for we are cOming!"
This is not only encouraging. but it ia
the beginning of the end. 1t will soon
begin to thunder all around the sky:
Welcome tine storm.-IOwa Tribune.
May this political storm never cease
until there is loyal political party in
power that will respect the demands Of
the labOring masses and restore to them
their rights, of which they have beeh
robbed by the powers that are now con-
trolling the administration of the affairs
of this nation.

issued. There is nothing mandatory
about it.
The concluding paragraph of Sec
ton two is unprecedented in legisla-
ton. 1t is mere commentary upon
the act in which it is so strangely in
serted. Here it is: "It being the es-
tablished policy of the United States
to maintain the two metals on pari
ty with each other upon the present
legal ratio. or such ratio as may b.
prescribed by law" Precisely so.
This means, "Mr. Secretary, You
must allow the public creditor to de-
mand gold for his bond. You must
not force him to take silver" The
"discretion" of the secretary is to be
the "discretion" prescribed by Wall
street. The whole bill is miserable
fraud, snare and delusion, from
the beginning to the end. Will the
people submit to it?-I0W0 Tribune.

PRESIDENT HARRISON fairly jumped
to sign the silver bill. 1t was hardly
unroled before him until his name
was upon it. 1t just suited him be-
cause it suited the "religioUs papers,"
and it suited the religious papers be-
cause it suited the aristocracy, the
upper ten, who live by the sweat of
other mems brows. Had this bill
been what the people everywhere de-
manded, a bill to place silver back
where it was before John Sherman
secured its demonetizatio by lying to
the United States senators, then Har-
rison said he would veto it because
the religious papers were opposed to
it. A correspondent in this issue
says this proves that Harrison is
bigger fool than a clown in circus.

UNDER the iniquitous policy of leg
islatiOn that has been for the past
twenty-five years the British took
from us 100000 in gold in one
week recently, and are constantly on
the draw now. Thus we see that our
industries are forced to London to
borrow money. Hence what we
seem to have belongs to the money
lords. of England. Otherwise Eng
lish money lords would not hold a

able to recognize them again. Iowa
Tribune.
In connection with the above we re-
mark that on the 9th of June, 1890, Mr..
Oates, from the committee on judiciary,
OF congress, reported, in recommending
bill prohibiting alien ownership of
land, that European nOblemen now own
81 900, 900 acres OF farm lands IN the
United States, and held mortgages on
100, 900, 900 acres more, the greater part
of which would doubtless soon fall into
their hands through foreclosure. Now
add the II 900, 900 acres owned by Eu-
ropean lords to the 2ll ,S42, l62 acres do
mated to railroad corporations and you
can carve out another slot AS large as In
diana. Will someone please give the
figures AS to the number of acres the
government has donated i'm the shape of
land warrants to the soldiers who fought
its battles from the war of the RevOlu
tion down to the present date?
