st. John on Anarchy.


Last Sunday afternoon, Hon. John
P. St. John spoke in Willard Hall,
Chicago. The Record gives the
following scraps Of his address:
"Do you wonder that your mayor
was assassinated in his own house =!
Do you wonderg would speak no
i'll Of any man, least of all of one
dead and beloved, but l must cay
that Carter III. Harrison was the
victim of his own system of govern
ment. We are rapidly becoming u
1 nation of law breakers. The whole
city of Chicago is ruled by anarchy,
from the office of mayor down. The
whole system is along the line of
anarchy. ispeak not of the anarchy
OF Fielden-not of the anarchy Of
dynamite and the red fag-but the
anarchy which is propagated IN the
saloons.
"If there was ever . time when
every man and woman who loves
| right, home and country should be
constantly thinking about God and
His Judgment, that time is now. 1t
| is safe to say that at this time this
city is ia more perilous condition
than ever before. 1t has become
necessary in this, the greatest city
of its age, to insure any kind of
reasonable safety, to put policemen
in the streets in citizens clothes to
check up and hail every citizen
found in the streets after l o'clock
in the morning. That fact is
burning shame to the civilization in
which We live. If the government
is properly administered it should be
as safe for the citizen to be out after
midnight as before midnight. It is
said that in the last thirty days the
average has been two murders daily,
including the mayor, and that 200,.
900 people are breadless, homeless
and idle.
ri say that if the government
were properly administered there
would not be tramp or homeless
hungry man in this countryss Our
granaries are groaning with the
products of the soil; the products of
the soil are cheaper than ever; there
is more money than ever before, no
war, no threatened invasion, no cpl
demic, manifold blessings all about
US, and yet 1000, 900 human beings
in the United States are without a
penny to buy bread for supper"

Tn. North Galveston Brick Plant.

The kiln of red pressed brick that
was opened few days ago at North
Galveston. Tex, revealed a quality
of material which was pronounced by
experts as fully equal in destiny, du-
rability and color to the best St.
Louis pressed brick. The North Gal
weston Brick company is pretty big
concern. The machines, buildings,
yards and general capacity equals
some of the best plants in the coun-
try. More factories being built. a

What Is Expected of the Court
In spite of what Arthur says it is the
general opinion of railroad men who heard
the evidence in both cases that the court
will make the injunction against Arthur
ordering a boycott on the Ann Arbor per-
petual and that it will release the men
charged with contempt on technicaEties.
The men have concluded that, no matter
what decision Judge Kicks shall announce
next Monday, they are justified in de-
manding that their brothers be given their
former positions. The result in case of
refusal was not considered because the
men expect there will be no refusal.

Went Back on the AGREEMENT.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Union carpenters
have served notice on a number of bosses
at the Worlds fair grounds that after next
Monday they must hire none but union
men. The organized carpenters threaten
to quit unless all non-union men are dis
charged. The excuse is that it will
strengthen the carpenters union, because
rather than have a strike the bosses will
require all non-union men to join the
union. This is a complete Republication of
the agreement made with the fair man
ayers two years ago.

Pushing the Reapportionment Biii-Anti-
Pool Bill Passes the House.

4
SPRINGFIELD, March 30-Berry's anti
pool bill was the special order in the senate
yesterday but the matter was postponed
to April 6, because the house bill would
probably be in the senate by that time.
The senatorial apportionment bill came up
next and a motion to postpone to April
to give the Republicans time to prepare
amendments was lost by party vote.
Then the Republicans offered amendments
which were promptly voted down. The
bill was then ordered to third reading and
made special order for April 6, motion
myde to reconsider and that motion laid
on the table so as to clinch the matter.
Nominated by the Governor.
Governor Altgeld sent in the following
nominations: Reddick NJ. Ridgely, of
Springfield. member board of trustees
Hospital for the Insane. Jacksonville.
Trustees of the Southern Normal univer-
sity, Samuel w. Dunniway, of Carbondale;
w. h Ward. of Benton; Edward Baugh-
man, If Olney; c. w. Bliss, of Montgom-
cry county; J. W. Terry, of Edwardsville.
The bill authorizing railways to consoli-
date to form an interstate line was passed
as was that requiring the fact that a
child's eyes are weak to be notified to the
health officers within twelve hours after
its birth. The bill giving women the right
to vote at certain elections was made
special order for April ).
What Was Done in the House.
The first thing on the house calendar
was the Burr anri-pool bill, which prohib-
its pool selling anywhere and goes into eff
feet as soon as the governor 81 gns it. 1t
was passed-124 to s-the negative votes
being: Carmody, Carson, Dearborn,
Drury Jones of Green, Smith of Macon,
Snedecker and Wiwi. A friend of the bill
gave notice of a motion to reconsider in
order to have control of that motion. An
attempt to reconsider the vote by which
the proposition to abolish Chicago JUS
tees courts was rejected was defeated.
Governor Altgeld's message recommend
ing the adjustment of certain boards was
referred. The compulsory school bill then
came up and the proposition to strike out
the elementary school clause was carried
by strict party vote-Democrats voting
aye-with the exception that Muir, THE
mann and Wilke, Republicans, voted for
the striking out. Republicans the fiji
clustered until the Democrats agreed to
postpone the bill for two weeks.

LONDON, March 3o-The duke of Argyle
has written to Mr.. John S. Finnigan, of Bel
last, secretary of the County Down Consti-
tutional association, regarding a resolution
passed by the association. with great
wisdom. as venture to say, your resolu
ton passes very lightly over the mere re-
ligious difficulties and dwells entirely on
the danger that threatens everything that
the British people value most-life, liberty,
property, commerce and every kind of in
dustry: / consider the haste with which
Mr.. Gladstone is pressing a vote on the
most enormous changes in our constitu-
tional system on the strength of purely
Irish majority an exhibitions of impetuous,
INSCRIPTIONS, fanaticism such as has
never before been shown in the political
history of the country" In a postscript,
the duke adds that the power TO regulate
the internal taxes would certainly be used
against Belfast.
Relief for Evicted Tenants.
The evicted tenants bill, which en-
bodies in substance the recommends
tions of the evicted tenants commission,
came up in the commons yesterday. The
bill provides that a land commissioner
should be appointed to settle disputes,
and when arbitration failed the commits
sioner should determine reasonable terms
on which the tenant might purchase the
holding and liquidate the arrearages of
rent. Other clauses provide for assistance
to the tenant in stocking his home when
he has a substantial interest therein and
for the meeting of other contingencies re-
garding the property. The bill was OPP
posed by the Liberal Unionists, and Nor
ley admitted that it was Objectionable in
some particulars. Sexton said the bad
features could be eliminated. The debate
was then adjourned.
The Escape of the Alabama
Sir Henry James, as confirmation of his
contention that the escape of the Alabama
arose from delay in forwarding official
documents, publishes an interesting letter
from Henry Marshall, an intimate friend
of the late lord chief baron. Sir Fitzroy
Kelly. who, speaking to Marshall, declared
that the escape was due to the action of the
crown counsel's wife, Lady Harding. The
documents had been sent to Harding's
country seat Monmouth, where his wife.
desiring to conceal the fact of her husband
becoming insane, kept the Alabama docu-
ments four days, hoping her husband
would recover. An urgent government
dispatch compelled her to reveal her hus-
bands condition and return the documents
which, however, reached the government
law officers few hours too late.
