A delegation consisting, no doubt, of very worthy and well meaning cit­ izens ot Chicago, headed br< the Rev. J. Vila Blake, visited the executive of­ fice In Springfield, for the purpose of presenting a petition asking lor clem­ ency for the condemned anarchists of Cook county, und urging upon the Governor Its tavorsble consideration. This petition opens with a brief state­ ment of the circumstances of the Hay- market massacre of May 4th, 1886, and the conviction of the persons now con­ fined in the Cook county jail for com­ plicity with that crime, and then, while conceding that they are "very culpabli both morally and under the law, and deserving of rigorous punish­ ment." appeals for a commutation of the death penalty for the following reasons among others: 1. These men are not ordinary crim­ inals; they are not seeking to live by crimes against society. 2. Their characters have been pro dnced by many hard conditions and social causes, operating for centuries In the tyrannies of European society. 8. The whole world is now In a dis­ turbed moral state so remarkable as to admit of the perpetration of great crimes of violence without any sense of guilt as illustrated by reference to existing conditions In Russia, Ger­ many. Ireland, etc. 4. The execution ot these men will not cure the causes which tend to pro­ duce such men, and It will be sure fur­ ther to Inflame the passions and In? tenslfy the false views which we have to combat. 5. To these reasons is to be added the humane motive of sparing so many lives and avoiding the shoek to the community of a seven-fold execution by hanging. 1, If the first preposition is correct, It does not necessarily furnish a rea­ son why clemency should be extended to these extraordinary criminals, but why they should be punished and the law vindicated in the face of the whole country. The fact that a mur­ derer through passion or revenge doe6 not "live by crimes against society," cannot be pleaded as a reason for his escape from punishment, when bis crime is an "ordinary" one; why, then, should it be urged whon his crime Is extraordinary f 2, It cannot be said that the charac­ ters of all the condemned anarchists have been "produced by bard condi­ tions and social causes" existing in European society. Parsons, at least, M American born, yet he has shown himself the most defiant and most dan gerous of his class, besides living in open violation of law in other respects. As for those who are of foreign birth, it is to be presumed that they came to America lor the enjoyment of greater liberty and the betterment of their condition. It is impossible to see how this should give them the right to undertake tbe revolution, or --It would be mors correct to say--the destruction of our institutions. 3, Tbe fact that '"the whole world is now in a disturbed moral state," does not necessarily constitute a reason why the most dangerous class of crim­ inals should go "unwhipt of justice" but as, in tbe case of tbe first proposi­ tion above quoted, the very reverse, in that society may be preserved from destruction. 4 and 5. The fourth and fifth propo­ sitions--tbst tho execution of these criminals will not abolish crime, and that tbey should be spared on the ground of humanity--might be quoted with equal propriety and effect in be- halt of criminals of any class. Yet true philanthropists and humanitari­ ans will continue to believe that It Is tbe part of wisdom to punish crim­ inals. whether ordinary or extraordi­ nary, not In tbe expectation of abol­ ishing crime, but of restraining It and protecting society. We believe that Mr. Blake and bis associates have been misled by their sympathy--not for anarchy, but for anarchists. Tbey are sentimentalists and theorists rather than practical re­ formers, or even protectors of tbe rights of society. It is a significant fact that the class which they repre­ sent are confined almost wholly to tbe large cities, as are tbe anarchists themselves--tbe class to be checked. Both are tbe offspring of crowded communities and a false state of soci­ ety. It LB with them, no doubt, as with aay other clsss brought in con­ tact with a vicious system: •ice is a monster of such hideous mien As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; But seen too oft, tamiliar with her face, We flret endure, then pity, then embrace. The question to be considered 1*, have the condemned anarchists been guilty of the crime charged against them, and for which a specific punish­ ment has been prescribed by law? They have bad a patient and a careful trial, with zealous and stubborn coun­ sel to protect tbelr rights, and have been condemned In accordance with law. Why, then, should they escape due punishment any more than "ordi­ nary"criminals? In another age and state of society, a still severer puti- ishment, as burning at the stake being drawn or quartered, or flayed alive, might be deemed a fitting pen­ alty, but In this age nobody advocates a severer punishment than is meted out to "ordinary1* murderers, The man who incites another to a crime which he dare not commit himself, Is oo less guilty than his dupe and Instru. ment, but rather more so.--State Jour­ nal.
