Altgeld's pardon of the Anarchists
as a crime against justice, law,
morals and the high office of the
man who did the infamy act, but
it fails to say that it was a crime
against the Democratic party. This
may be because the Democratic
party was particeps criminis, hav-
ing agreed that Altgeld should
pardon these bombers for the An

THERE is always an awful death
rate attending the pilgrimage to
Mecca, but this year the mortality
is beyond that, of any late years,
owing to the cholera ravages in
that region. The authorities would
have prevented the pilgrimage if
they could, but the attempt would
have led to a fanatical war against
the powers on the part of the thou
sands of pilgrims who take the
road. There is not a reasonable
doubt that cholera will break out
