Thirsty Sentences.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. II. - The

scare and assisting him in an effort with
which he is credited to get the appoint
ment of chief of police. II is also sug-
Rested it may have been issued to in
huence Governor Fifer to refuse the
petition of Oscar Nebe. 1t Is addressed :
''To the oppressed and disinherited. -
In blood-thirsty language it pictures
the alleged intolerable conditions
of society; the monster of capital which
which sheds rivers of blood in Its greed
for wealth. It speaks of the tyranny as
fastened to the breast of the people and
sucking out its vitality. The chains of
slavery are made to clank, the police
monster tiourishes the whip club and
helps tear one by one the members from
the body of the people. The people are
urged 10 destroy the capitalistio system
and establish society based on love,
fraternity and equality. Your duty
calls upon you to take dynamite and
the dagger against your innumerable
murderers, says the circular. "Never
appear with empty hands.
1t concludes with the statement that
anarchy is the only system that can sat
isfy all the wants of human society.
''Then arise, brothers and sisters of the
laboring people, Its last sentence.
''arise up in arms, arise for social revo-
luton, destroy the existing system OF
robbery which threatens to crush you,
and found that system of anarchy. -

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-There was
another dramatic scene in the house to-
day in which Texas played a prominent
part. Spicy incidents are now the rule'
rather than the exception, and to-day
was decidedly interesting. Reed con-
cluded the only way to keep the
Democrats in the house where
he could see and illegally count
them, was TO lock the doors, but he did
not reckon that the Lone Star state
possessed such vigorous kickers. A call
OF the house was ordered and yea and

Reed ordered the doors locked. Among
he fleeing Democrats was Kilgore. He

Unfortunately, Governor Dingley of
Maine was on the other side and received

abject apology, which was accepted.
Grain had almost q similar experience,
although he did not force the door. He
succeeded in bulldozlng the doorkeeper,
who wilted before the Texas congress
man, remembering his colleague 3 eXpe-
rience with Kilgore.
Such in brief was the scene to-day land
1t is said tonight Reed intends to put
frmer locks on the doors and compel the
Democrats 10 break them down. Tom
Reed is hated worse every day. He is
tyrant and uses his power IN
MOST CoWARDLY WAY.
There are several Republicans who are
just aching to twig his nose and he may
get taste of this before the session
ends.

rooms to-day the following notice was

WASHINGTON, Sept. s, 1890. (
Hon. John II. Reagan, United States Senate

DEAR SIR-Replyiug to your letter of
the 23d ult. ., I beg to submit for your
consideration q statement showing the
estimated population of the counties
named by you, said statement being
based upon the daily reports OF enumer-
ators, as made to this Office during the
progress of the enumeration. The actual
count of population for these counties has
not been ascertained, but as soon as it is
you will be promptly notified. Special
pains will be taken to obtain the official
figures on population for those counties
where the estimated population is nearly
or quite 10 900. Meanwhile, l think this
memorandum will be sufficiently indica-
tive for your purposes.
In the case of those counties showing q
population of over 10 900. according TO
the enumerators' returns, do NOT think
there Is any question but that the actual
reports will equal the amount stated
and in many cases will be in excess OF
those figures. Very respectfully,
