boned plug and a ten-dollar cart,
have to rein the poor critter up like
a turtle treading water, till it can't
see the ground in front of it and
goes along as if trying to read the

Altgeld's Responsibility.
Chicago journal


ned and humbted beside the bier Of
its murdered CHEF magistrate. But
Yesterday this pride was poised like
Young eagle in the certer Of the
SUMS eve. To-day it lies in the dust
smitten from It's high soaring down
by an instrument so trivial and uu-
worthy that the mind reyo.ts 40 con.
cequeuces so grave from a cause 50
mean.
In the day of ITS surprises and
sorrow there is nothing about the
death Of Mayor Harrison that shoold
make any true son Of Chicago taste
the bitterness Of disgrace. Murder
by a mailman may come 10 any man,
be he private citizen or distinguished
official. It is the cause that gives
the color Of shame or martyrdom 10
such "a death. In the case of him
we mourH'to.day there was nothing
to excuse his taking off, nothing
which the citizens Of Chicago could
have provided against, nothing to
exteuuate the act of bis assassin.
Chicago has not invited this crime.
So far as The journal knows there
is only one man in Chicago to-day
who has cause to feel that the sense
less act Of the murderer Preudergast
has smitteu him with disgrace For
ten months Jonn p. Altgeld has
been tearing down the walls which
Justice and humanity have drarecG
shall separate murderery aud luna
tics from their fellowmen. PardOns
for criminals have flowed from the
executive pen in reckless disregard
of their demorahzug effect upon
vicious and weak minds. AsyIums
have been taken from the charge of
expert supcriuteudeuts and convert
ed into infrmaries for political I'M
capables. I'm the most brazeu and
public manner he has assailed and
condemned the wholesome punish
ment Of crime. For law he has
sought TO substitute the sentimental
gush Of a muddled mind. Hewotld
exchange the sword Of justice for
package of popcorn.
Out of the contempt for all law
foslered by Governor Altgeld grew
lawlessuess. He denounced the po-
lice, the prosecution aud the court
that brought the last public assas-
sins in Chicago to justice. In 80
doing be uuloosed the restraints
that deter weak aud vicious persons
from following the evil dictates Of
their passions.
In the gloom that has come upon
Chicago with Garter IIauison's death
there is no CLEAN of comfort for
Governor AtgcId. Prendergast's
bullet ended his political ambition.
