Governor Altgeld, of Illinois

Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
has pardoned the three Anarch-
lists, Fielden, Schwab and Neebc,
who were serving sentences i'll
the Joliet pcuitentiary for parti-
cipation in the Haymarkct riot
in Chicago. This action of the
governor has attracted national
attention, not only on its own
account, but because, in granting
it, Altgcld declares that they did
not have a fair trial, and thai
the court was prejudiced. He
not only scores the presiding
Judge, Gary, but also Inspector
Bonfeld, Of the Chicago police.
The governor has the right,
under the constitution of the
state of Illinois, to pardon these
men; but in exercising that I'M
doubted right in their behalf, he
has prostituted his Office in the
most shameless manner, and has
dealt a blow at American insti.
tutions and American freedom
by this act. True liberty is to dc
as we may desire so long as we
do not interfere with the rights
of other men; and these red
handed scoundrels began by de
nying to any one any rights al
all. Anarchy means the aboli
ton of all law and all property
and the attack on the police fore,
was simply because they were
the representatives of law anc
order, and hence were deemed
"tyrants" by the Anarchist
scum. Governor Altgeld has en-
couraged anarchy, rapine, ant
the overthrow of civilization
for civilization rests upon thu
institution of law and govern
ment for the protection of thu
weak against the strong, tn,
peaceful against the turbulent.

The idea that many people
have that they must invest their
money away from home in order
to obtain large returns, ought
to receive little set back in con
sideration of the big western
failures of late. Although invest
ments nearer home may not offer
such a large per cent Of interest
yet they are usually safer, and in
the long run prove equally rs
profitable to the investor.

chase and issue of silver under the
Sherman law. This alarm has
created a want of confidence
which has led those who sharelt
TO curtail their business opera
tions, and to distruSt the bust
ness operations of Others, and
hence to refuse to lend their
money. 1t makes little difference
whether this alarm is we'll found
ed or not. The mere fact of its
existence has the effect to create
distrust, and distrust is fatal to
that mutual assistance which
business of all kinds depends
upon to a greater or less extent.
1t is hardly worth while, there
fore, to spend much time on the
inquiry whether the Sherman
law is really the dangerous meas
ure it is represented to be. 1t is
enough for the present emergency
to know that a great number of
people, especially people in the
business centres, think it danger
Gus, and are withholding fnan-
cial assistance, which they other
wise might give, on account of it.
That fact clearly indicates that
it should be repealed, unless it
can be shown that its repeal will
bring evils of another kind as
serious as the existing want OF
confidence which its repeal will
undoubtedly do much to cure.
AS the situation appears today
the argument is all with the peo-
pie who favor repeal. The silver
mines are already shut down,
the market price of the white me
tai having fallen so low as tc
make it Improbable to work
them, so that repeal can make
their condition no worse than il
is now. The interest for whose
benefit our recent silver legisla
ton was largely enacted, anc
which naturally had most tC
fear from its repeal is in condi
ton to look upon the abrogatior
of the Sherman law very phlloso
phically indeed. OF course there
are the people like Mr.. Bland
who regard silver as the nation
ward, and think it the nation
duty to cherish and protect it NJ
matter at how great a cost
They will feel very badly over tn
repeal of the Sherman act unleS
they can substitute some mcaSur
in it's place which will atfor'
equal or greater recognition t.
the white metal. But the DANCE
of wounding their feelings by
repeal of the act is hardly seriou
t enough to offset the danger {

whereas, Governments derive their Just

frage in Kansas and Michigan, and un.
married women and widows have NUM-
cipal suffrage i'll England, Scotland, and
many ofthe British provinces, and school

! therefore,
Resolved, That in this progress the
cause has already made, we recognize the
leading hand of Providence and in this
large acceptance OF the principles of cqua
rights we see promise of the ultimate tr
umph Of our cause.
Resolved, That we do hereby present
congratulations to the Woman's Suffrag,
association OF Michigan on having secur
cd from their legislature law extending
full municipal suffrage to women; ant
for the generous vote given to the bill BY
the legislators.
Resolved, That we hereby tender our
sincere thanks and high appreciation tc
the members of both houses of the Yer

voted for the bill granting municipal sui
trage to women.
Resolved, that as an organization ant
individually, we will use our influence tc
elect men tor our next legislature who
