John NIost's Views.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-1'he news that
Governor Altgeld of Illinois had pardoned
Neebe. Schwab and Fielden was received
by the anarchist colony of New York with
wild enthusiasm. John Most says:
Governor Altgeld stated nothing but
exactly what we claimed at the time.
Gary Grinnell and Bonfeld and all the
other rascals had the same opinion all the
tims. but they felt bound to do as they did
for the benefit OF the capitalists. Now is
the time they ought to be hanged right
away. This case was clear one from the
beginning. 1t was not case Of justice.
but OF revenge.
"They took what they supposed was an
opportunity to strike terror into the ranks
of social reform, but Of course they
couldn't do it. They can't even prove that
the bomb was thrown by an anarchist.
Even IL IL was thrown by an anarchist, it
was proved that it was thrown in self de-
fense Why, what would you or do IL 200
men were coming along to kill your Would
you not defend yourselfs II would not be
possible to do so with revolver. The
bomb was the only weapon.
"Didn't IL come out In the papers two
years ago that the police received 81, 300 900
from the big Chicago capitalists to fight
organized labor, to arrest on any op7or-
tunity, to shoot them down. to do anything
to create terror--then as soon as they didn't
receive any more some one made IL all pub
lici We have not yet taken any positive
steps toward public meeting here in cele-
bration. We can't bring back to life the
men who were murdered. We shall wait
for some further reports from Chicago be-
fore going ahead"

ALTGELD ATTACKED.
A Chicago Paper Assaiis Him For Pardon.
ing the Haymarket Riot Anarchists
Neebe, schwab and Fielden.

CHICAGO, June 2s.--The Tribune has the
following about the pardon of Neebe,
Schwab and Fielden: i
'.The anarchists unveiled their monu-
ment to Spies and Parsons few days too
soon. The monument was unveiled Sun
day, and now Governor Altgeld has re-
leased the three men who have been In
Joliet since November of 1887. 1t was gen.
orally understood that they were TO be let
go In the event of Altgeld's election. The
anarchists believed that he was not merely
an alien by birth, but an alien by tempera-
ment and sympaties, and they were right.
He has apparently not a drop OF true
American blood in his veins.
He does not reason like an American
nor feel like one. He did not approve of
the result OF the trial held before Judge
Gary, and for that reason the anarchists
supported him at the polls whenever they
had an opportunity. They voted for him
for Judge and for governor, and they have
their reward There are many who will
feel that II was wrong to commute the
sentences of Fielden and Schwab il the con-
sequences were to be such an act of mis-
taken clemency as that of Governor Alt
geld. We cannot feel that the brave fell
lows who lost their lives in the Haymarket
massacre have been remembered as long
or as gratefully as they should be when
two at least of their murderers are turned
loose upon the community after a scant
term of Imprisonment"
Commenting on the pardon Of the an.
archists, The Times says they did nothing.
80 far as calm minded men cAnld discern, to
deserve death or Imprisonment, and the
governor in giving them their freedom has
exercised an act which appeals to every
heart imbued with love of mercy.

able procedure continued two nights
