statement that II A should advise Is to
commit murder and B, acting upon
this advice, should actually commit the
deed, A and B would be alike guilty Of
murder. Who denies SO plain prOpo-
sitlon ? A proposition as clear in morals
Rs it is indisputsble in law. He does
not know, what the slightest scquaint.
Rnce with the case would haYe made
him know, that this is the very state
ment Of the law for which counsel for
the accused contended. The theory of
the prosecution was, however, that if
any one shall say that if policemen at
tempt an unlawful assault they should
be resisted and killed, and year or SO
afterwards some one does kill police
man under such circumstances, the
speaker will be guilty Of murder whether
the actual slayer heard the advice or
knew Of it or not. 1t has never to this
day been discovered who threw the Hay
market bomb, and, Of course, there could
be no proof that he had heard either Of
the accused speak, or had read anything
either Of them had written, or that he
even had known the accused themselves.
1t is absurd to say he acted under advice
he may never have heard. Who can say
what was the motive Of this unknown
bomb thrower ?
4he article in the Alarm Of November

which by Judge Gary my critic quotes,
was put in evidence on the trial and in
the record was marked "People'a Ex-
hibit a." 1t is before me as write, and
the conclusion Of that article sontsin6&
the distinct Rssertion-"Our war is not
against men, but against systems" How.
ever, it was shown at the trial and was
undisputed, that neither of the eight
men wrote that article, and that Of all
the Alarm articles put in evidence by the
state but one was written by Parsons
an article commenting on public docu-
ment by General Sheridan.
Says my critic: "From the platform
Of the International we learn that the
msthod-the only method-of the an
archists was and is, force, riot and muir

national he learned nothing OF the
kind. He learned this from Judge
GRry's Brticle-from the fslsehoods Of
msmmon's high priest. l chance to have
copy Of that platform. It was put in
evidence in the anarchist case and was,
for all time, preserved in the record.
From the printed abstract of the record
used before the supreme court Of Illi-
nois-not from a magazine srticls-I
take the only passage in that platform
which, in any manner, relates to the use
Of force. Let the reader Judge whether
it teaches "riot and murder" Here it is:
GAS in former times q privileged class
never surrendered it's tyranny, neither can
it be expected that the capitalists of this
age will give up their rulership without be-
ing forced to do it. II there ever could have
been any question on this point it should
long ago have been dlspelled by the brutali-
ties which the bourgeois of all countries
in America as well as in Europe constantly
commit, as often as the proletsrist any
where energetically moves to better their
condition. It becomes, therefore, self'ev

with the bourgsoise will be Of violent rev.

A CORRESPONDENT ORITIJISES MR.,
CLEMENS,

ordinary intelligence should assert tnSS
the crime for which FieldeD, SchWsb and
Neebe were imprisoned consisted in
preaching NO more than the Omaha plat
form afirms seems to me the height OF
folly, or the depth of ignorance. Such
an assertion has been made by G. q.
Clemens in late copy Of the ADVOCATE.
Either Clemens does not know what the
anarchists advocate, or else he does not
know what the Omaha platform stands
for.
The anarchists were organized under
the name international" and ss MIR.
Clemens says that anarchy is the phil
osophy of peace, Of universal brother
hood, and that it's creed is that violence
shall give place to love-" beg leave to
assert that that is not the kind OF an
srchism for which Spies, Parsons, and
the others were hung, nor the kind for
which Fielden, Schwab and Neebe were
imprisoned. From the platform Of the
international we learn that the method,
the only method, Of the anarchists was,
and is, force, riot and murder. There is
NO palpsble excuse for Mr.. Clemens to
attempt to give a new and entirely diff
fsrent meaning to the word anarchy than
that which it already has. IL we accept
his definition of anarchy, then those
whom we call the "ChiCsgo anarchists"
were not such at all, but the direct oppo-
site.
The two newspapers, the Alarm, OF
which Parsons was 1itOr, and the Arbt-
ter letting, Of which Spies and Schwab
were the editors, contain many editori'
ais advocating force, dynamite and muir
der as a means of righting the wrongs
that exist. Now, / admit that great
wrongs existed at that time; / also con-
cede to any one the right to advocate
force If he chooses to do 30, but il muir
der results from such agitation and is
the direct result of it, the murderer and
also his RcComplios ought to pay the
penalty OF the law.
The right of free speech shall not be
denied, but il A should advise B to COM
NIT murder and should furnish him with
the means Of doing it, both A and B
ought to suffer the consequence OF the
law, in the event that the murder was
actually committed.
To prove the assertion that at least
one Of the executed anarchists was not
Of the kind which Mr.. Clemens calls an
archists, l quote from Judge Gary's ar
ticle in the April number Of the Century
Mag0zins, and he quotes from the Alarm
OF November l, 1884;
THE UsRLRss GLASSES.
How can all this be done1 Simply By
making ourselves masters of the use Of
dynamite, then declaring we will make no
further claim to ownership in anything, and
deny every other PERSONS right to be the
owner Of anything, and administer instant
death, by any and all means, 20 any and
every person who attempts to continue to
claim personal ownerShip in anything. This
method, and this alone, can relieve the
world Of this internal monster called the
fright Of property"
desire to know il the Omaha plat
form sanctions any such thing. But
perhaps Mr.. Clemens might answer that
such doctrine is not in accord with an
archism, that Methodist might have
advocated the same thing; but that is

Speeches at the Indianapolis Convention
by ex-President Harrison and Mr.. Wan
amaker.
ISD1ASApoIIo, ISD., May 14.-In the
afternoon session OF :he International
Y. M. C. A., after a papez on boys
Work" by Mr.. ID. w. Corbett. OF Mon
treal. the President OF the convention
called attention TO the fact that Gener-
al Harrison and Mr.. John Wanamaker
were present, and appointed a commit
tee 10 escort the TWO gentlemen TO the
platform.
They were most enthusiastically re-
ceiyed by the delegates ali standing.
On being introduced, the ex-Presldent
said: ''It gives me pleasure TO look In
70 the faces of earnest young men gath
cred from all the States and provinces,
and even from over the sea, who are
met to confer upon the interests oil
Christians in connection with the young
men. | remember with pleasure that
the first institution / was ever president
of, was the indianapolis Young Mems
Christian Association. In these early
days the scope OF the work and
the zeal of the membership was
much below what it is to-day. | have
always retained my interest In the
Young Mems Christian Association and
admire its work and am glad TO have
been associated with il in its beginning.
The associations are bringing religion
into business and business into religion.
They are teaching young men day oy
day to live Christian life. do not
believe a Christian profession is to be
worn as cockade, nor is it to be hid
den away in cellar. Ii is to come
into the first floor rooms and to be lived
out in daily life"
In introducing Mr.. Wanaker, Presi-
dent Bierce referred to the fact that he
had not only been president OF the
Philadelphia Association, but had glvel
to it most muniticently in its time OF
need. Mr.. Wanamaker said: "My con-
tidence In these associations has In
creased as they have gone up. they
have grown immensely In usefulness.
In the earlier days we alienated many
good people by one mistaken zeal In
some uiIeCllOU, Oub uOW INC aosOSi"e'SSS
are doing definite work for young men
and in IL have the confidence Of the pas
tors and churches"
He referred to the early history OF the
Philadel phia Association, its struggles
and efforts 10 live, whereas 1t now owns
building worth S750,O00. He asked
the stronger associations TO help the
weak ones, and all TO stand together In
their common work.
Among other resolutions was the fol-
lowing which was unanimously adopt
ed
RESOLVED, That this convention enter
its solemn protest against what we be-
lieve to be an open, fragrant aud I'M
warranted violation Of the law by the
Columbian Exposition authorities; that
in view of the public character and pur-
pose of the exposition, the whole people
are vitality interested. that II shall not
be operated In violation OF the law OF
the land and that we condemn the pro-
posal TO open the gates with the charge
of an admission fee, as an evasion I'M
worthy a law abiding people, and as a
painful evidence of the disregard by
the management Of the expressed opin-
ions and protests Of large majority OF
the law abiding and christian people Of
the land.

TRATED SERMON.
SsCOSD OF A SERIES DELIVERED BY
REV. A. ]. TREY,
At the Baptist Charch-Dr. Cunningham Points
Out the Dangers Of Evil COmPanionship'
Other Religious Matters.

Rev. A. ]. Trey, pastor Of the First
Baptist Church, preached a most I'M
pressive and interesting sermon last
night. at his church. This sermon was
the second in an illustrated series OF
discources, which ara attracting much
attention. The theme was, THE Lost
Brothers. or Doing Strange Things
The text was taken from Philippians
the tenth chapter, aud part Of the hrst
verse. which relates that the two sons
OF Aaron were struck dead for trihins
with Gods command.
The discourse consisted, Of apt Illus
tration by means OF the pictured scenes,
watch added greatly TO the impressive
ness OF each lesson advanced. A feature
Of tbe discourse was the fitting scrip
tural references, and the lessons laid
down for the ruling OF ones life.
IL was stated by Rev. Trey that the
worlds sins and all the wrong doings OF
men must seem strange things" TO the
pure angels around Gods throne that
rs and do not regard them In their
proper light. Trifing with religious
duties aud things should be turned into
a personal, practical application. This
age. IL is stated, was largely wanting
in reverence, the nation having become
intoxicated by It's. own great achieve
ments. The great advancement the
United States has made was dwelt up
on.and also the greatness OF theWorlu
Fair.
By visiting the Fair, Rev. Trey said,
one would we'll nigh become intoxicated
with the evidences of mans power and
skill in bringing the elements nnGer
control. aud that one would be confused
and appalled,. From these facts the
argument was advanced that we are
losing reverence by great accomplish
ments, that men are losing cody Tear
and handle sacred things 10 an lrreV-
erent manner.
The sin of religious triding was
taken up, and the two men who trined
IN the words Of the text were made
lesson &r the congregation. Irlnlng
with Gods word aud how he holds MS
followers TO strict account was dis
cussed IN an interesting manner.
The sermon was closed by lessons
drawn from the results Of religious
trifing, EThe results were given as: %
A sad death; (2) A resignation OF COO !
power, aud finally a sad funeral These
points were made more impressive by
aid OF the pictures exhibited.
The music was excellent. The an
,thems by the choir and the general
singing being especially Interesting.

P. Seller, the noted Cincinnati diamond
robber, alias Charles II. Price, seven
year forger form Detroit, who came to
the prison here in 1891, escaped
Yesterday in unique way. He
was engaged in packing scythe
snaths on the Wilmington 81 Cooley
contract, and made the escape by
secreting himself in one OF the
boxes, and was carried out. After the
box had been nailed up, one OF the
boards was cut on bevel just where 1t
went under the iron bands encircling
the box. On the inside were buttons
and a loop. When Price had crawled
into the box he pulled the board into
place and fastened it by means of the
buttons. A reward of $50 Is offered for
his capture, but he is still at large.
