upon to meet the issue that is now
plainly made by the rioters, and that
compels the nation to choose between
anarchy and order
philadelphia Times, Ind. Dem,
Law and order must prevail not only
at Chicago, but on every foot Of Amer
lean soil, and the energetic efforts Of
the President and the war department
to enforce the statutes cannot be too
warmly praised.
Philadelphia Ledger, Rep,
Mr.. Cleveland's inilexibility Of back
bone never served the cOnntry to bet

tressed on all sides by public approval
and support than in his present atti-
