A MEMORABLE EVENT
IS COMMUNICATED
Alton Remembers the Muir
der of Elijah Lovejoy, a
Noted Abolitionist.

ALTON, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-Seventy-five
years ago tonight there occurred in
this city an event which, with the sim
gle exception of the John Brown raid,
was probably the most sensational fea-
ture of the long struggle over the sla-
very question that preceded the civil
war This was the mobbing and des-
truction of an anti-slavery paper and
the murder of it's editor, Elijah p.
Lovejoy. Although 1t occurred twenty
five years before the war, it contrib
uted in a marked degree to that culmi-
nation.
Elijah P. Lovejoy was of an ardent
pious nature, and his advocacy of the
cause for which he persisted took the
form of extremely violent attacks on
the institution of slavery and all who
directly or indirectly helped to favor
and perpetuate it.
In 1923, Lovejoy, then a young man
of "a, came from his home in Maine
to st. Louis, there he established a
school and became an industrious con-
tributor to the press. Several years la
ter he took an active interest in poll
tics and became the editor of poll
teal newspaper which advocated the
election of Henry Clay for the presi-
dency. Although he was unsuccessful
in his campaign he earned the reputa-
ton and influence of political leader,
but in three years more he became
possessed of so much religious zeal
that he determined to enter the minis
try, and he was licensed to preach in
1888.
AS editor of the observer" a reli-
gious paper published in St. Louis,
Lovejoy began his most ardent advo-
fcacy of abolition. Before long he had
become so violent in his agitation that
q letter was signed by some of the
most respected citizens of St. Louis
which requested him to moderate the
tone of his editorial utterances with
regard to slavery.
Lovejoy replied to this letter in a
statement in his paper which did not
tend to conciliate his opponents. AZ
ter this he was threatened with vio-
Ilence so determinedly that he decided
to remove from st. Louis, and in 1886
he came to Alton, which was to be the
scene of his death
The citizens of Alton threatened
him without result, and then mobs des-
troyed his press. AS often as they
wrecked it he replaced it, until three
presses had been destroyed and a
fourth one was ordered. The night af-
ter it was received a mob attacked the
building. Lovejoy was there with
some friends, and in the fight that fol-
lowed one of the attacking party was
killed. When the mob then undertook
to fire the building Lovejoy was one
of three volunteers to make a sortie
AS soon as he got outside he was as
sailed with storm of bullets and fell
dead
The tragic death of Lovejoy created
a profound impression throughout the
country, and an outburst of condem-
nation from the press. At a mass meet
ing held in Faneuil Hall, Boston, Wen
dell Phillips made his first public ad-
dress. 1t was a speech that immediate
ly made Phillips famous, and from
that great meeting dated his tremen-
dous oratorical efforts against slavery.
