CHICAGO, Sept. 23.--"rhe ballot box Is
a gigantic swindle from top to bottom. Inn
against all government and advocate the
abolition of all law and authority" These
were the nitiatory utterances of Chas. w.
Mowbray, the British anarchist who has
Just arrived here from London to carry on q

ing this Mowbray found that he had

were, when he attempted to spread his
propaganda ut labor picnic at Belmont
Park
Mowbray has been disappointed on all
sides since he has been in this city. The
Trade and Labor Assembly, recognized Us
the central body of the trades unionists,
denounced him at its last meeting, and
attendance ut the park was very small.
Police Inspector Setback had made prep
arations to nip any kind of radical demon
stration before it had gone too far. He
was present with detail Of police in citi.
zens clothes, and block away 100 uni
formed officers and three patrol wagons
waited the signal to make descent ON
the gathering. Mowbray started In by
abusing tho police and newspapers. In.
spector Setback bore this without inter
ference
| But when the speaker began berating
the stars and stripes, and hoping for the
glorious day when the rcd emblem would
be raised triumphantly aloft, the inspector
gave the signal and Captain Schuettler,
( who was on the platform, laid his heavy
hand on the shoulder of the speaker. Now
bray had not expected this. and was plain
ly disconnected. He stammered and looked
dismaycd, and attempted an explanation,
but the big police captain remarked "You
have got to stop that kind of talk, " and
that settled it.
Mowbray insisted, however, that there
was not n scintilla Of violence in the doc
trine he taught, 1t was no use, he had to
stop. There were few radical reds
who attempted resistance, but they were
squickly quelched, and one arrested. Mrs.
Lucy Parsons was present, and after
Mowbray's experience she Remarked 1T

IRISH CONVENTION.
OPENS At CHICAGO WITH A LARGE
ATTENDANCE.

| lyman, Who Is Said To BE the "Number
One" Who Engineered the Assassination in
Phoenix Park, Dublin, Of Gladstone's Rep.
resentative in Ireland, Present.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24-The great national
convention of Irish societies was opened
In the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION hall this morning with large
representation Of Irishmen from all parts
Of the country. 1t Is estimated that 1900
delegates will be in attendance before
business is we'll under way. The conven-
ton will last three days. One general
object is the formation Of a united open
organization for the furtherance of
the Irish cause. Those who issued the
call for the convention claim that it is
not contemplated that ply steal force shall
be used or advised in the attainment Of the
independence Of the Irish people as q ma.
ton, "unless such means be deemed alb
solutely necessary and the object in view
be probable Of attainment"
Rosa and "No. 1" on Hand.
1t Is believed the convention will serve
to revive interest and infuse new life into
the Irish cause, both in America and
Great Britain. Considerable comment is
being aroused by the fact that among the
fifty delegates from New York city are
jeremiah O'Donovan Rosa and p. J. P.
lyman. lyman became celebrated in 1889
as Number One" having in charge the
removal" Of government officials in Ire
land. He it was who was accused Of hav-
ing conducted the assassination Of Chief
Secretary Cavendish and Under Secretary
Burke in Phoenix park, Dublin. So care
fully was the name Of this man kept from
his fellow conspirators that even James
Carey, the leading member of the "Invin-
cibles,' knew him only as Number One. !"
Rosa a Well-Known Dynamiter.
Carey, however, when he became an in
former, made it necessary for lyman to
come to this country. During tho year
following the asssassinations lyman was
q member of the Mddleset volunteers, q
crack London corps and was one Of the
men picked to escort the queen to the
opening of the new royal courts on the
strand. Rosa is well known for his dyna-
mite campaigns He was, it is claimed by
friends among the delegates, most inhu-
manly treated while in an English prison
on thirty years sentence for his connec-
ton with the Fenian movement, being
obliged to lap up his food while his hands
were tired behind his back. He has lately
visited England, the term of his sentence
having expired. Rosa and lyman are
staying at McCoy's hotel, the official head
quarters,

THE SOUTH CAROLINA PLAN.

The dominant political element in
atives in the constitutional convention,
is determined to eliminate the negro as
II factor in politics. They declare their
purpose to do this even if as n conse-
quence the state loses two votes in con-
gress and in the electoral college. White
supremacy is to be perpetuated ut what
ever cost. The article proposed for the
new constitution, relating to Qualitica-
tons for suffrage, provides that until
January 1, 1898, every citizen of South
Carolina shall be registered as a voter
who can read an article of the con-
%stitution selected by the election Of
ticers, or can transcribe it or explain it
after it has beer read. After January
1, 1898, only such citizens shall be reg
iStered as voters as can read and write
and possess property of a taxable value
Of $500. The educational test, has n fair
aspect, but it is easy to see that white
voters might get through with it while
negro voters would be excluded. 1t
would be all in the hands of the election
officers and as these would be cham
DiOns of white supremacy they would
lose no chance to ~disfranchise Il colored
citizen. The spirit manifested by the
men who are in control of the South
Carolina constitutional convention is
certainly not in accord with republican
institutions, but III reasonable man
could, perhaps, expect anything different
in that state, whose people have always
been hostile to the true principle of re-
publican government. 1t is possible that
the national power will again have to
be invoked to secure justice to a large
body of the citizens of South Carolina.

INJTRING THEIR CAUSE.

1t is to be apprehended that the cause
of the Armcnians will be more or less
injured by the riotous outbreaks in Con-
stantinople, for which they appear to
be directly responsible. Admitting the
in%tolerable character of the provocatiOn
those unfortunate people have suffered
from the cruel and despotic rule of the
Turk, a p%rOvocation so great as to cX-
cuse almost any measure of resentment,
still it is to be said that the present was
IL most inopportune time for the Arme-
mans to precipitate n conflict in the capt.
tai of the Turkish empire, where they
were receiving better protection than
elsewhere. At Il time when the powers
are insisting Upon the institution of re-
forms in Armenia and the Judgment of
the civilized world supports this insist
ence it was clearly the dictate of wis
dom that the Armenians everywhere in
the Turkish empire should be peaceable
and patiently await the contamination
of the plans of the powers for securing
them better protection. That the Ar
menians resident in Co%nstantinople were
not Influenced by this consideration
shows that there are among this people
some who are rash and reckless, who
are not strictly submissive to the disci-
pline and guidance of Christian princi-
pies, and who are not beyond the con-
troll of passion and an Incorporate zeal.
Their unfortunate conduct has given the
Turkish government a new reason for
putting off the proposed reforms and Il
new argument for the necessity
of the severe policy it has pur-
sued in the treatment Of the Armenians,
of which it will undoubtedly make the
greatest possible use, very likely with
effect upon those governments which
are thought to be behind Turkey in its
refusal to accede to the demands of the
powers.
But unfortunate and deplorable as
was the riotous outbreak in the Turkish
capital, it would manifestly be unjust to
hold the whole Armenian people respon-
sible for it or to allow it to operate to
the prejudice of action for the relief of
those people. The demands for reform
in Armenia are founded upon justice,
they are dictated by every considera-
ton of right and every sentiment of
humanity. and 1t is the duty of the civ
ilized and Christian world to firmly in
sist that they be carried into effect.
The Armenians, whatever their faults
and mistakes, should not be longer sub
