GRINNELL AND BUTLER. Case of the Amrciilsts Argued by Them Pro and Con Before the Supreme Court. THE hearing of the motion of the an- arehists for a writ of error was concluded in the United States Supreme Court on Friday, Oct. 28. The closing arguments were made by State's Attorney Grinnell, of Chicago, and Gen. B. F. Butler. Mr. Grlnnvll spoke less than an hour, but he commanded close attention all the way through. He started out by disavowing the intontiuu to inuke an argument, but what lie said was clear, forcible, ani convinciut;. The first utterance attracted attention because it revealed the tact that in all the tweuty-ei^ht assignments of ©rror in Judge Gary's court there w..s no reftT-. ence to the l ederal Constitution and no effort' to raist a "Federal question." Th«u he took up the objections raise i to Jurors IteiiUer and .-an- ford and demonstrated from the record that no Tights of the defendants had been abridged by their selection. Deukerwas among the tir»t four jurors sworn and was really accepted by the defense after their lirst objection, Out even if he hud not been occeptod, the defendants at that time hud 1-12 challenges, with one of which they could have dis­ posed of Denker if he was objectionable. Mr. <jriimell then laid bare the couipiaiut that Juror Sanford had been forced upon the de­ fense after all their challenges hail been ex­ hausted. He showed tuat after eleven jurors had been accepted by both sides tho Ueiens® had forty-three challenges loft, but these were frittered away before an lord was called. Dur­ ing all of this portion of Mr. Grinuell's speech the members of the court were close listeners. They asked many questions about the record and the manner of selecting juries, and showed that they regarded these points of greater im­ portance than all the discussion about the Constitution and equal rights in­ dulged in by Mr. Tucker and Ueneral Butler. But what seemed to interest them most was the State's Attorney's analysis of the jury. Bis statement about the number of talesmen examined, the division of challenges, and finally the assertion that the jury itself was representative of American citi;enship, chosen from no class and having in it no "capi­ talist," attracted the keenest interest not only from the Judges but the audience which I' lled the court-room. Mr. Grinnell quoted the cases of Kerr and Guiteau as precedents for seizing evidence. General Butler followed Mr. Grin­ nell. He complained that matter had been in­ troduced into the case that did not appear in the record, and that the lives of his clients had thus been put in jeopardy. He asked for an extension of time in wnich' to discuss this ex- traueouB matter, but it was not granted. The leading feature of General Butler's argument . was the claim that Spies and Fielden were entitled to greater privileges than American citizens because the State had no rlcht to change their status from what it was under the treaties, ani that therefore the Illinois jury law did not apply to them. One of the mo6t specious pleaa presented in the whole case was first alluded to by Mr. Tucker and elaborated by Gen. Butler. This was the assertion that the anarchists were not in the conrt when sentenced. Gen. Butler wanted a writ of certiorari, EO that they could prove this was the case. TRAIN-WRECKERS. They Ditch a Sock Island Freight Near Joliet, HI.--Two Men Killed and One Fatally In- jured. A TELEGRAPH pole laid across the Bock bland Railroad between Minooka and Morris, 111., wrecked freight train No. 16. Engineer John Mills and Fireman Orff were instantly killed and the head brake- man was fatally injured. The miscreants doubtless intended to wreck the Kansas City express. The passenger was fifteen minutes late and the freight pulled tut ahead to run to Menooka, sinking the#b- struction with the result as flated. A JiMiet f dispatch says: W T Excitement here over the Back Island wreck continues to grow since H has been definitely ascertained that the obstruction was placed on the track with the deliberate purpose of wreck­ ing the passenger train. The excitement is augmented by the growing belief that the Schwartz-Watt express-car murder and robbery gang planned the crime. Large rewards hare WEST. fany and detectives are on the ground. "Deacon Brodle." A CHICAGO telegram says: The produc­ tion of "Deacon Brodie" at McVicker's is a dramatic event of more than usual inter­ est. The play is the joint production of Kobert Louis Stevenson and Mr. W. E. Henley. The former is already one of the best-known litterateurs of England and the latter was for years the editor of the Lon­ don Art Magazine. The great success on the stage of "'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and the popularity of Mr. Stevenson's books will doubtless add an interest to the play at McVicker's. Cholera in America. IN a telegram to Surgeon General Ham­ ilton, Commissioner De Wolf, of Chicago, makes severe comments upon the quaran­ tine officers at New York for their negli­ gence in permitting immigrants from a cholera-infected district of Italy to pasB through that port to the West. Besides those that have been discovered in Chicago, Other passengers on the steamer Inde- pendente have been located at various points in the East. $5,000 for Killing: Two Men. J. E. SMITH, the express messenger who recently killed two robbers near El Paso, has been paid $'2,000 as a reward by the Governor of Texas. He expects to receive $2,000 more from the express company, and $1,000 additional from the railroad corporation. A Saloon Blown Up. THE saloon of Peter Cam, at RusBiaville twelve miles west of JioKomo, Ind., was blown up by dynamite the other night. The building and contents were completely wrecked, as well as a livery stable adjoiri- joining, in which a man who slept was badly injured. Missionary Bishops. THE House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church has elected Rev. Abiel Leonard, of Atchison, Kan., missionary bishop of the new jurisdiction of Nevada and Utah, and Rev. J. S. Johnson, of Mobile, Ala., missionary bishop of Western Texas. <Q EAST. EAT; CLAIBK (Wis.) special: "Consider­ able excitement was created here recently toy the reported discovery of gold one mile from the west bank of the Chippewa River, and about fifteen miles from its month. Specimens have been brought here of high Value, and a mining company will be formed." _ ALBUQUERQUE (New Mexico) special: '"Additional details of the depredations committed by the Apaohe Indians near Holbrook, Arizona, are that nearly all the ranchmen in that neighborhood have suf­ fered loss of cattle by these mnrderers, and have at last determined to take the law in their own hands, owing to the red tape pro­ gramme in moving troops stationed near the reservation,thus allowing Indians to escape. The ranchmen have submitted to these out­ rages for the sake of harmony, and the howl put up by the Indian Humane Society, but have come to the conclusion that as Governor Gulick, in his last message to Washington, recommended that these In­ dians be sent to Florida with Geronimo, they are now justified in defending their stock against these thieving Apaches, and the war of extermination may commence at any time." S. W. RAWSON, the Chicago banker, is recovering slowly from the wounds in­ flicted by his step-son, Lee, and his phy­ sicians Bay that his prospects for return to health are good. THE Michigan Salt Association has de­ termined to stop the manufacture of salt from Dee. 1 to April 1. in order to reduce the large surplus now on the market. SOUTH. YELLOW-FEVEB is spreading at Tampa, Fla. A Rio GRANDE CITY (Texas) dispatch says: "Starr County, along the border of Mexico, is in a state of terror. Mexican bandits ride in gangs through the streets of this and other neighboring towns at night, and the officers of the law dare not show themselves. Saturday a party of bandits came to town and mailed two let­ ters at the postoffice, one to Manuel Guerra, of Roma, and the other to Sen or Donacino Garcia, of this place, notifying them them that unless they immediately raised $15,000 and $8,000 respectively for the bandits their stores would be blown to atoms with dynamite. Gov. Ross has been appealed to for protection, but thus far no response nas been received. The United States cavalry located at Ringgold bar­ racks, near here, are of no service, because of the official red tape necessary to move troops from the barracks on short notice. Before the order from headquarters could arrive the town might be sacked and the bandits safe in Mexico. Stage traveling in this section is at present dangerous." PEBRY KINO and Drew Green, negroes, were lynched at Tallulah, La., for attempt­ ing to commit a burglary. ArsTix (Tex.) special: "Gov. Ross has received information that Mexican bandits are raiding into Hidalgo and Starr coun­ ties, driving off stock, and in one instance carrying off a woman, for whom they de­ mand a ransom. Capt. Jones' company Of rangers was ordered there to give pro­ tection." IN spite of the rainy weather, thousands of people from Virginia and adjacent States were present in Richmond, Va., on Thursday, the ceremony of laying the cor­ ner-stone of the Lee monument. A num­ ber of prominent ex-Confederate generals took part in the parade. WASHINGTON. THE Supreme Conrt on Wednesday, Bays a Washindkn gpeci^l, deaied the motion of Attorneji General Bradford of Kansas for a reheating in the prohibition cases. Chief Justice Waite, who rendered the de­ cision, said that Mr. Bradford's statement of facts in his affidavit exculpated him from any blame of negligence, but as his brief in the case covered all of the points involv­ ed the Court did not see the necessitv of already been offered by the Bock Islaod Com- prehearing the arguments. Mr. Bradford ing to-day. To-morrow it will hear argu­ ments respecting the liabilities of express companies under the interstate com­ merce law. A Communication has been received by the commission signed itf^Jbehalf of fourteen com­ mercial associations of Boston, antagoniz­ ing the project of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, which claims that the practioe of allowing an export rebate on ship, ments from the West via Boston to for­ eign ports is an unjust discrimination against local consumers, and seeks to have the practice stopped. The communica­ tion, while favoring a revision of rates' declares that any change compelling the export trade to pay moro for shipments by way of Boston than by way of New York would ruin Boston's export trade. THE Interstate Commerce Commission on Wednesday gave a hearing to the repre­ sentatives of a great many railroads upon the subject of the annual reports to be re­ quired from carriers under section 20 of the act to regulate commerce. The audi­ tors or other officials of the leading rail­ roads of the country, to the number of more than thirty, were in attendance, and gave their opinions colloquially upon the subject in hand.

NEGROES belonging to the Knights of Labor are causing trouble on the sugar' plantations of Louisiana. They demanded increase of pay, and, on being refused, went on a strike. They refused to permit willing men to fill their positions, and State troops were dispatched by Gov. McEnery Thursday to quell any disturbance they might cause. ILITICS. -gOLITl CONGRESSMAN KELLEY, of Pennsyl­ vania, says tkat if the Democrats should introduce the repeal of the tobacco tax in a scheme of revenue revision as a separate measure, the Republicans .would accept it, but if it should be connected with one to reduce the customs duties they will op­ pose it. THE exciting political campaign in Bal­ timore terminated Wednesday with the election of a Democratic Mayor by a ma­ jority of 4,205, a gain of 2,000 since the last election. The City Council will con­ sist of twelve Democrats and eight Repub­ licans in the first branch and seven Demo­ crats and three Republicans in the second branch. Chioago papers chronicle the death of Hon. Elihu B. Washburne. The fatal disease which carried him off was a con junction of congestion of the lungs and heart. About a month ago Mr. Wash­ burne was taken with congestion of the brain, and at the time it was thought he would hardly reoover. He did, however, and, although of late he has been an in­ valid, yet he seemed to be getting better, and his family confidently expected him to soon regain As good a state of health as a man of his age could reasonably expect to enjoy. After breakfast a barber came in to shavs him, and while he was sitting in Wk left for home at once, and Mr. Packard, whose motion was also denied, has left the city. Mr. Packard believes that the situation of the Prohibitionists is more hopeful. He thinks from what the court said to-day that the cases will be deter­ mined in favor of the constitutionality of the Prohibition law, for if it had any doubt upon this very important question it would have waived all rules of procedure to hear everything that could be said upon it in order to protect itself from criticism. WHEN the case of the condemned an­ archists came up in the Supreme Court at Washington on Thursday the conrt-room was packed bv people anxious to hear the arguments. Three hours were evenly di- I Tided between J. Randolph Tucker and Attorney General Hunt, of Illinois, a Washington dispatch: Each made a clean and strong argument, and both were very closely listened to and seldom interrupted by any momher of the court. Mr Tucker got along swimmingly while he ex­ plained to the court that it was onlv necesnary lor his side to show a conflict between the action of the Illinois courts and tho Federal Constitu­ tion in order to entitle his clients to a writ; whether the conflict amounted to a repugnance was to be settled if-tne writ were granted at a Hearing on the merits of the question, and he did not arouse the court while ho was explaining in eloquent fash­ ion the unconstitutionality of trying a man before a jury some of whose members had read about the crime in the papers, but when ho began to argue that the first ten amendments, while originally rostruints upon federal power, were injected iiito tho substance of ttie fourteenth amendment so that tho pro- p visions of that amendment really covered, everything in the lirst ten amendments, , Justice Field smiled increduously and re- j marked that he was giving the fourteenth ; amendment a pretty wide construction; '< and a few minutes afterward, when I Mr. Tucker was explaining that the • petitioners had been denied the right to j GENERAL. HORACE WEBSTER & Co., the insolvent wholesale liquor dealers of New York, Chi­ cago, and Philadelphia, owe $705,730. Their assets are valued at $250,000. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has issued the following proclamation: The goodness and the mercy of Goa which have followed the American people during all the days of the last year claim their grateful recognition and humble acknowledgment. By His omnipotent power He has protected us from war ana pestilence, and from every national calamity; by His gracious favor the earth has yielded a generous return to the labor ot the husbandman, and every path of honest toil has led to comfort and contentment; by His loving kindness tho hearts of our people have been replenished with fraternal sentiment and patriotic endeavor; and by His unerring guidance we have been directed in the way of national pros­ perity. To the end that we may, with one ac­ cord, testify our gratitude for all these bless­ ings, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 24th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by all the people of the land. That day let all secular work and employment be suspended, arid let our people assemble in their accustomed places of worship and with prayer and songs of praise give thanks to our Heaven­ ly Father for all that He has done for us, while we humbly implore the forgiveness a continuance of His s and kindred be united heart a, dilled with kin<tly flniniseelices, be turned urce of all their pleas- 'ef ot all that makes the dav glad and joyous. And in the midst of our prosperity and happin?B» let us remember the poor, the needy, and the unfortunate, and by our gifts of charity and ready benevolence lot us increase tne number of tbose who witn gratefn nearta shall join in our thanksgiving. THE concluding game in the world's championship series between the St. Louis and Detroit Base-Ball Clubs was played in St. Louis on Wednesday, and was won by the home team by a score of 9 to 2. Of the fifteen games played, Detroit won ten and St. Louis five. Detroit seored a total of seventy-one runs, against fifty-three by St. Louis. f I' 'i' fig* AT a meeting of Iteel manufacturers held in Pittsburgh a change was made in the classification of the different (trades of •teel. A NEW YORK special says: "The fact became known at a late hour to-night that Henry Martin Jackson, the Cashier of the Sub-Treasury here, was a defaulter and had fled to Canada. The discrepancy to his accounts was first discovered last Saturday, when he failed to ap­ pear at his desk. A hasty ex­ amination by Treasurer Cauda show­ ed a defalcation of $10,000, and this so far seems the extent of the theft from the Government. The matter has been kept very quiet by Mr. Canda, although it is un­ derstood that he has pursued inquiries suf­ ficiently to assure himself that Jackson is in Toronto. Henry Martin Jackson is the son of the aged.Secretary of the New York Tract Society, who lives at Roseville, N. J. He is 36 years old, and haB been connected with the Sub-Treasurv over fifteen yean." MB. A. J. DBEXEL, the Philadelphia banker, says that the stories that have been published about a stringency in the money market have been greatly exaggerated. He speaks encouragingly of the business out­ look for the coming year. A MBS. KKTCHAM, of the town of So- teenth amendment had the effect of invest­ ing the first tc-n amendments with a new and I additional power, reminded tho sneaker that 1 the fourteenth amendment was a restraint ' upon Federal power alone, whereupon Mr. ' Tucker started in again to explain that the first ten amendments were by the fourteenth I amendment made restraints upon Stat ) power as we 1 as Federal power. This exposition of the fourteenth amendment received a severe blow when Attorney General Hunt cited the opinion of the court, made only two and a half years ago in the Presser case, also an anarchist case, and also a case from Chi­ cago. Presser was convicted by the State courts of violating a law which limited to the j regularly-mustered Htate militia tne right to parade the streets with arms. He appealed to I the Federal Supreme Court on the ground that I the right to > ear arms was guaranteed to him j by the Constitution of the United States, and \ that this being so, the right to bear arms was one of the rights and immunities of citizenship Which the fourteenth amendment guaranteed to him. The court held that the second amendment was a restraint upon federal and not htate power, and that the fourteenth .amendment had nothing to do with tho case. Thus it will be seen that the Presser case was closely analogous to Mr. Tucker's presentation of the present case, and in the Presser case the Htate law was upheld. The argument for the flay concluded with some brief remarks by Mr. Hunt on tho impracticability and absurdity of the ciaim made in Gen. Butler's brief for Hples and Fielden that they were subjects of foreign powers, with which tho United States had treaties guaranteeing the subjects of those foreign powers, in our territories, certain rights of trial, and that tho treatios antedated the Illinois act of 187t regarding the admissibility to juries of cortain persons, and that Spies and Fielden had a treaty right to bo tried by a jurjr Impaneled in accordance with was the law in force in this country at the time the treaties were ratified. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. A WASHINGTON telegram says: Three more complaints from George Rice of Marietta, Ohio, against the Standard Oil Company have been received by the Inter­ state Commerce Commission, making thir­ teen in all. The commission had no hear- FOREIGN. NEWS has reached Belgium that Stan­ ley, the explorer, has advanced about 780 miles since last heard of. Aug. 25 he was in excellent health. He had met with a friendly reception from ihe natives m a hitherto unexplored country through wh ch he had to pass.

A CABLE dispatch states that the Czar visited Copenhagen with the view of taking decisive action with regard to Bulgarian affairs, and that he has formed an anti- German alliance between Russia, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, and Denmark. Other powers are expected to join the alliance. PKINCE KKAPOTKINE, the great nihi­ listic king, says a Paris dispatch, has writ­ ten a long letfer from Harrow, England, making a stirring appeal on behalf of the Chicago anarchists, that makes a sensati.u in political circles.

A physician was sent for, who pre­ scribed, and Mr. Washburne lay on the bed all the morning. Though he seemed uneasy, the pain had left him, and neithw- he nor the family felt any great alarm about his condition. Later in the day he ngain seemed better and iu the afternoon he got up by himself to obtain a drink of water. Again he felt the pain at his heart, this time more severe than be­ fore, and again he had to be assisted to his bed. This t me he seemed helpless and after he had lain a few moments, his daughter-in-law holding his hand, without saying a word he turned over on his side and waB dead. He passed away seemingly without pain of any kind. Telegrams were at once sent to the members of the family--Mrs. W. Bishop, Jr., who lives at Bridgeport, Conn.; Mrs. Fowler, of Den­ ver, Col.; E. B. Washburne, Jr., Kingston, N. Y.; and William Pitt Washburne, who is at Livermore Falls, Me. Elihu B. Washburne was born at Liver- more, Oxford County, Me., in September, 1816. He entered the office of the Chris­ tian Intelligencer at Gardner, Me., in June, 1833. He afterward studied law, was ad­ mitted to the bar, went West and located at Galena, 111., in 1810. Being a Whig he did good electioneering work for his party during the Harrison campaign and was a delegate to the W1 ig national convention which nominated Henry Clay in 1844. Mr. Washburn was a member of the Na­ tional Whig Convention which nominated General Scott in 1852, and the same year was elected to Congress through the sup­ port of the Free-Boilers. He was re-elected in 1854 by a majority of 5,000. He con­ tinued to represent the district term after term, his majority in 1860 rising to 13,511. Mr. Washburne acted as Chairman of the Committee on Commerce in the Congress of 1862, and later became Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. He occu­ pied a jpnqpicuouB position in the councils of tl^Kg3dn during the troublous years of flp^belliini. After repeated reJ elections he at length became the "father of the house," and as such swore in as Speaker Schuyler.Colfax and James G. Blaine. He was the opponent of every kind of jobbery, receiving for his vigilance the sobriquet of "the watchdog of the treas­ ury." Mr. Washburne was a stanch per­ sonal and political friend and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. He was also one of Gen. Grant's earliest and best patrons. Being Congressman of Grant's district, be used his influence at every step of Grant's career to secure the latter's promotion. It was chiefly through his efforts that Grant was made a Lieutenant-General and after- . ward General of the armies of the United States. Mr. Washburne was appointed Secretary of State by President Grant in 1869, and resigned his seat in Congress, which he had held for twenty consecutive years. After a brief tenure of office his health compelled him to iresign. President Grant offered him the French mission, which he accept­ ed. The Franoo-Prussian war shortly af­ terward broke out, and the delicate ques­ tions of diplomacy and international law that arose taxed his abilities to the utmost. He Bucceeded in securing from the Foreign Department of France protection and safe conduct out of that empire for all Germans who felt it dangerous to remain. When the Commune raised its banner in Paris, Mr. WaBhburne was the only foreign Minister who stuck to his {>ost, and the foreigners of every nation ooked to.him alone lor protection. He Re­ mained in Paris during all the carnage that followed in the wake of Ihe Commune, and made a strong but ineffectual effort to save the life of Archbishop Darboy. He re- oeived the thanks and recognition of nearly every nation for his Services to their sub­ jects during the dark days of the siege of Paris, shortly after the war the order of the Red Eag!e was conferred on him by the Emperor of Germany, who also pre­ sented him with his portrait in oil and a letter expressing the warmest affection and regard. After President Hayes' election Mr. Washburne expressed a desire to resign, and soon returned to his native country, making his home in Chicago. He received 44 votes for President in the Republican National Convention in 1880. The same vear he withdrew altogether from political life and devoted his leisure to literary pur­ suits. • DAKOTA] Wonderful Growth of the Territory--GOT. Church's Report. 1 Washington special.] L. E. Church, Governor of Dakota, in his annual report says the Territory has had another year of wonderful growth in population and wealth, due to the exten­ sions of railroad lines into rich agricultur- al and mineral regions. Twenty-three million eight hundred and eleven thousand four hundred and forty-five acres of pub­ lic land remain unoccupied. During the last six years over :i*2,000,0l)0 acres of Da­ kota land have been entered. The popu­ lation of the Territory is estimated at 5<j8,- 477, an incrense of 06,000 during the ydar. The assessment property of the Territory is $157,084,305, nn increase of nearly $25,- 000,000 during the year. The bonded indebtedness of the Territory iB $1,h98,- 800. The area of sown wheat this season is estimated at H,89lJ,3fcjU acres; yield 60,- 000,000 bushels, or nearly double the product of last year. Tbe value of live­ stock in the Territory is $4'2,b28,338, an in­ crease of $5,000,000 per year for seven years. The growth of educational facili- has more than k«pt pace with the growth or population. On tfce question of the admission of Dakota as a State, the Governor says a deep interest is taken in ^ division and admission, wad whether admitted as one or two States there are many reasons why the people should not be longer deprived of the right to manage their own affais. He does not express himself as having! a prefevenoe in' • 1 : [Chlca«o special.] Sheriff Matson has as yet made no prep­ arations that he is willing to give for pub­ lication. The circumstances attonding the case make such a course on his part- wise. As far as the actual work of setting up the machinery of execution is concerned, it can be done in a very few hours, and other necessary details can be arranged at very short notice. There is a feeling In some quarters that the Gov­ ernor may grant a short respite upon proper application in order to give the coiS> demned time to prepare their souls for eternity. The Sheriff dislikes his job ex­ tremely, and feels that iu view of the un­ certainties in the matter any parade of arrangements sooner than is necessary is in poor taste. He has, however, practically decided upon one thing, and that is that he will not ask for the presence of the militia the day of execution. He believes, the police are abundantly able to furnish ample protect tion, and in this view he is confirmed by the opinion of (he police themselves. It is probable that if tne seven swing accord­ ing to sentence, they will be hung in two divisions. It will be diffioult, with the room at disposnl iu the north corridor of the jail, to hang the seven at one time, and for this reason the terrible scene will prob­ ably be acted twice. The gallows will be so arranged that one man will pull the drop for all at once, instead of a man to each. His identity will, of course, forever remain a secret. The anari hist*, as they filed out of the seven cells iu "murderers' row" for their hour's exercise yesterday morning, betrayed neither concern nor nervousness over their prospective fute. "The time is drawing near," remarked Jailer Folz, as his eyes rested on the pale faces of the doomed men. "Do they bay anything- about it?" he was asked. "Not a word. They ain't a bit changed," was the reply. At that moment Fielden, with his long, thick hair and beard bushy and defiant, was leaning indolently againBt the iron railing just in front of his cell, in an atti­ tude of seeming indifference. Parsons had his soft black hat jauntily cocked on one side of his head, and seemed keenly to enjoy the prospect of his sixty minutes' freedom without the narrow boundaries of his prison home. His hair was neatly combed, his clothing was brushed clean, and while chatting with three women who called to sec him, he toyed wilh a cigar which he puil'ed from time to time. Lingg in appearance grows more like a wild ani­ mal every day. He has broadened out across the chest since his confinement in jail, and appears to be strong as a giant. His face and head are covered with a mass of? intra table hair, and hiB voice is a hoarse, thick guttural. Lingg is the only one of the anarchists whose demeanor hasn't been changed by jail life. He is still defiant. He walks up­ right like a soldier and with a heavy step, as if he wanted to crush something every time he put down his foot. A young woman with an ample figure and healthy, red face is his sweetheart, and calls to see him almost every day. She visited him this morning just a moment or two after Nina Van Zandt dropped in. Nina was burdened with sundry baskets and parcels for Spies, who took them with an ineffusive composure, just as a man reaches out for some money that has long been due him. The ex-editor c.£ the Arbeiter Zeitung is a cold-blooded gentleman. His usual ex­ pression of emotiofi is' a crafty smile,-St parting of the lips in a grin full of guile that exposes his teeth, which, by the way, he brushes carefully every morning. On bis countenance of late there has grown a frown. In the parlance of the street, he has the face of a "kickfer." He is no worse off than Parsons; but Parsons has always a pleasant word, and he is really bearing up with a nerve that is the admiration of the jail officials. There is not much change to be noted in the others. Sohwab is as apathetic as ever. HiB wife, despite her pathetic appeal, will not be allowed to embrace him before he dies--so Jailer Folz said this morning. Engel looked like a man who had aban­ doned hope; but Fisher was talkative and sociable. None of the doomed men like the presence of merely curious people, and this morning none but friends' called on them. CAPTAIN PAINE. A Word About tho Owner of the iTastest Yacht in the World. One of the most energetic and successful of yachtsmen of the present day is Gen­ eral C. J. Paine, owner of the yacht Vol­ unteer, whieh beat the Seotch yacht This­ tle at New York, not long ago, in the race for the America's cup, which the English have in vain sought to secure for a number of years back. General Paine has been the owner of many fast sea-going yachts, the Mayflower, which won tho race over the Gaiatea in the Marblehead and Cape Cod course in 1886, being one of his recent ones. Each succeeding vessel which is built under Genera! Paine's supervision and order seems to be particularly con­ structed to beat the prec ding one, and with such a result that there is no wonder than the America s cup can be retained here from season to season wilh apparent ease. As the Mayflower was superior to the Puritan so is the Volunteer to the Mayflower. General Paine is well known as one of tho most intelligent of the members of the Eastern Yacht Club. He has been very successful in his experi­ ments upon the schooner-yacht Halcyon, gradually improving her until he made of her one of the fastest of light weather yachts afloat. After these experiments he united with other yachtsmen in the build­ ing of the Puritan, and sailed on her for a season, which soon gave him the impres­ sion that she could be improved upon, and be immediately gave orders to George S. Lawley, of Boston, for the construction of the sloop Mayflower. The Mayflower turned out to be a beautiful little craft of some 100 feet in length. Gen. Paine dis­ posed of her by sale, and laid his plans for tho building of the Volunteer, which is con­ structed of the very best material used for the purpose of ship-building. Strong and firm, she is able to Bland any great strain to which she is likely to be subjected when ?aclng ha a sea-way. (From the New York Sun.] Senator Ingalls was feeling his best, and expressed himself with his usual sparkling candor, and the interview is given word for word, as follows: "Since Cleveland has disappointed the Democrats and mugwumps as well, will he likely be the choice of his party in 1888?" "Cleveland will be renominated by ac­ clamation. The Democratic leaders hate him, and would be glad to have him beaten, but they gnaw a file. He has neither learning, eloquence, nor good manners, and is therefore an ideal Democratic can­ didate. He is a dull, narrow, phlegmatic egotist. We have had commonplace Presi­ dents be Tore, but Cleveland reaches low- water mark, morally and mentally." "Of late there hus been much specula­ tion as to candidates for President on the Republican ticket in which there has been mingled a great deal more sentiment than sense. 1 would like to have your views as to whom you think the party should nom­ inate." 1 Blaine undoubtedly remains the prefer­ ence of a majority of the Republicans, but the irrational enthusiasm ot' 1W1 has be­ gun to subside. The disposition is grow­ ing to consult the judgment rather than the imagination of the peop'e. Sherman ha* some elements of strength, and evidently intends to contest the nomination with Blaine. This may result in the selection of a compromise candidate like Lincoln, Allison, Harrison, Hawley, Foraker, or some one not yet above the horizon. There are several statesmen lurking in ambush for this emergency. Lincoln is a modest, honest man of respectable talents, whose prominence is due to his genealogy. Alli­ son has an unimpeachable record because ho never expresses an opinion till he has found out what everybody else thinks. Harrison, like Lincoln, has a pedigree, but hia abilities are greater, and his nomi­ nation would propitiate the civil-service reformers. Hawley is a bluff, strong, popular, soldierly man, who could com­ mand the full strength of tbe party. The situation appears favorable now for Re­ publican success in 1888. If we are beaten we Bhall defeat ourselves. The campaign will be the most animated and intense in the history of American politics." "What are likely to tie the vital issues be­ tween the two great parties in 1888?" "The principal issue will bu the record made by the Democrats during Cleveland's administration; how far their accusations have been verified; how far their promises and pledges have been fulfilled. Much de­ pends on the action of Congress, at the next session, on the tariff, the whisky and tobacco tax, the surplus, pensions, the fisheries, labor, prohibition, and suffrage. The issue can not be definitely formulated till after the adjournment of Congress next summer." Two Views or the Presidency. Mr. Cleveland seems to indorse fully the opinion of Postmaster General Vilas that he holds in "his personal care and keeping the sovereignty and dignity of 60,000,000 people"--a responsibility so great that any man might well dread to assume it for a second term. In his letter to the Mayor of St. Louis Mr. Cleveland spoke of himself as "the bearer of the people's sovereignty," and at Atlanta, just before starling on the return trip to Washington, he declared he would remember his reception "as an evi­ dence of the love of the people for the of­ fice which represents their soveraignty." Apparently Mr. Cleveland has no doubt that while swinging around the circle he has carried the sovereignty of the nation with him and put it on exhibition at the va­ rious stopping-places. A Chief Magistrate who, instead of considering himself a pub­ lic servant charged with the duty of ad­ ministering the affairs of the Executive De­ partment in accordance with the laws as provided by Congress and interpreted by the Supreme Court, imagines that be is the expoikent 'and personification of the su­ preme, irresistible, and uncontrollable sov­ ereign authority of the nation, must have a pretty large opinion of himself as well as of the office he holds. ' Mr. Lincoln's opinion of the Presidency was somewhat in contrast with that of Mr. Cleveland. "I can't run this office on the theory that I am the biggest man in the country and every man must support me," said Lincoln. Although holding office in a time of war, and wielding powers such as no other Chief Magistrate ever exerted in this country, the rail splitter President never thought himself invested with tho mighty attributes of sovereignty. He was only "running an office," and 'he plainly declared that he was not permitted to run it according to his own desires, much less on the theory that he was "the biggest man in the country." In fact, he often said that he "hadn't much influence wi ll the •administration." Mr. Lincoln understood and appreciated the nature and true dig­ nity of the Presidential office as well as any man who ever filled that l igh station, but the idea of clothing himself in sov­ ereignty and becoming "the biggest man in the country" only appealed to his sense of humor. He knew that the President was simply a high public servant charged with certain fixed duties and the ad­ ministration of the laws provided by Con­ gress, whether he liked them or not. True, shortly after the adoption of the Constitu­ tion, it was proposed to give the Chief Mag­ istrate some of th9 attributes of royalty nnd style him "His Highness tho President of the United Stales and Protector of Their Liberties;" but it was finally determined that the people should take caie of their liberties and sovereignty.and that the official known simply as "ihe President" should be burdened only with the ordinary duties of a high administrative office, together with limited veto and pardoning powers. If sovereignty inheres in any department of the Government, Congress and tho Supreme Court ought to have some share, since, ac­ cording to every theory, they are ct>-ordi­ nate in dignity with the Executive branch. Perhaps, however, it would be too much of a socialistic division to make all the Con­ gressmen. Senators, and Judges "bearers of sovereignty" and custodians of supreme national dignity. Sovereignty, as defined by all .recognized writers, is a power which acknowledges no superior and no authority but its own will. Necessarily such a power can rest oniv with tbe people, and not with the Government or any of its officers. The power of tbe Government and of all public officers is carefully limited by the laws and the Con- Btitntion. It must therefore appear strange that the holder of an administrative office can esteem himself the bearer or repre­ sentative of sovereignty. The error is all the more conspicuous in Mr. Cleveland, since before his election he seemed to en« tertain the Lincoln view of the Chief Mag­ istracy, and declared the duties of the post "essentially executive." His experience as President should have strengthened that correct opinion. In tho recent matter of the rebel flags he learned, under circum­ stances of great humiliation, that as Presi­ dent I10 could not return war trophies to his Southern friends, simply because Con­ gress had not given him permission so to do, and his powers were only executive. Nevertheless Mr. Cleveland's conceptions of the Presidential offioe have undergou^ a curious change during his occupancy of the White House. Wearing a No. 19 col­ lar and a No. 5 hat, surrounded by syco­ phantic admirers, lauded by a servile mug­ wump pres*, and dominating absolutely an obsequious Cabinet, Mr. Cleveland, not oontent with the performance of duties "essentially executive," has used to great excess the extra-executive powers of his office, especially that of the veto, and has at last come to consider himself the em­ bodiment of sovereignty itselfC8W- cago Tribune. A Frank Admission. The Democrats of the South, who have made a practice for years of suppressing the votes of colored men and have tried to quiet all protest from the North by sneers .jkloof'y ®*>irt, are getting more open and defiant in their lawless course. GOT. McEnery, of Louisiana, declared last week in a campaign speech that the maintenanc© Of the supremacy of the white race in that btate was impossible unless colored citi­ zens were excluded from the polls and denied their civil and political rights He admitted publicly what the Democratic par­ ty has been privately preaching for years. He makes no concealment of the plan by which the Democratic party has ruled in the South and elected a Democratic Presi­ dent. It is surprising that, with such frank admissions of Democratic crimes against the ballot, some people of tbe North should persist in avoiding discussion of the purity of the ballot and be intimidated from do* manding their rights by the cry that they are reopening sectional animosities and strife. There is no doubt that the Demo­ cratic party holds its power in State and national affairs by its course of coercion, fraud, and defiance of the law. Such admissions as this by a Democratic Governor are not neces­ sary to enlighten the public mind. There is a duty which devolves upon every citi­ zen, in demanding for the colored men the right to cast a free ballot and have it fairly counted. It is a duty which the Repub- ucan party must assume, and never lay down until the question of the suppressed suffrage of the South is settled and settled right. Mr. Cleveland pleases the South-, ern ear by prating about the era of recon­ ciliation, and demanding a cessation of sectional bitterness and strife. There is no doubt that the South is-perfectly con­ tented to have a rest of this kind, so long as it can continue in its fraudulent and lawless treatment of Southern suf­ frage. So long as the vote of one Southerner is allowed to offset the vote of three Northern men, the South is quite willing to cry peace and ask nothing better than to be let alone. But Mr. Cleveland will learn in due time that there can be no peace that compromises with evil or that permits great wrongs to go unrighted. And until every citizen of this land shall be allowed to cast his vote and have it honestly counted, there will be an irrecon­ cilable antagonism, whether it be between sections or between parties, which can not subside till justice and right shall triumph." --Dea Moines Register. A Dishonest Land Policy. The Administration has a great deal to say about the great reform it is accom­ plishing in the restoration of public lands that have .been fofeited by corporation greed or individual dishonosty. With a great flourish of trumpets the Commis­ sioner of the Land Office has pretended to have restored to the public domain mil­ lions upon millions of acres of land that had been retained dishonestly under Re­ publican administrations. Following his lead all the Democratic papers have caught up the cry and proclaim that the crowning glory of the administration is its land policy. It is not suprising therefore that Democratic conventions have been led into gross and -ridiculous errors by such misstatements. The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention declared that over two hundred million acres of the publio domain had been rescued and returned to the people by the present administration. There is no foundation whatever in the facts to sustain such remarkable assump­ tions. Indeed the very reportB of the General Land Office for tho last two yeara fail to show that the public domain has been increased for the actual settlers by the return of a thou­ sand acres of land that was not in the di­ rect line of the policy adopted by the last Republican Secretary of the Interior and his predecessors. All that has been done in the way of reclaiming forfeited land grants was a continuation of the Repub­ lican policy which the present administra­ tion found in practice when it went into office. It has originated no policy in this respect and secured to the public domain no land which would not have been se­ cured bad there been no change of admin­ istration and had the same policy of Re­ publican officials been maintained. So all this great excitement and blow about the rescue of millions of acres of land is dis­ honest from the beginning. The admin­ istration deserves no credit other than for having carried out the line of public policy marked out by its Republican predecessors. On the contrary, it does deserve criticism and censure for its failure to do what the increased needs of the public service im­ peratively require and what it has repeat­ edly promised it would do. There have been organized in the past three years cat­ tle companies that have usurped the publio domain and are now illegally occupying- large portions of it, unhindered by the General Government. There was at one time a bluster of protest and a brief dis­ play of authority, whose effect was but temporary, and the cattle barons were al­ lowed their own way, and have continued their illegal practices. If the administra­ tion was honest in its professions of re­ form, it would long ago have brought these violators of law to justice and would have saved to the public thousands of acres illegally usurped and occupied by in­ vaders. So that, in the line of promises unfulfilled and duties unperformed, the ad* ministration is to be censured and con­ demned. But it is not alone by its nega­ tive policy that it merits public condemna­ tion. Acting through the Commissioner of the Land Office, a man totally uufitted for the position, it has gone ahead with a reckless disiegard of public precedents and individual rights and deprived over five thousand'actual settlers of their farms in the Northwestern htates and Territories. With the reckless and vicious assumption that every settler was to be regarded as a tliief until he could establish his innocence, the administration has assailed the integrity of thousands of homes, disturbed the financial relations of tho Northwest, and wrought great mischief and hardship to innocent men and women. Stahding upon techni­ calities that have no effect in equity, it has not only imposed unusual and unnecessary burdens upon settlers in order to compel them to establish tLeir claims, but it has al*o robbed many of them of the little homes upon which they had expended their hard labor for several years. The Government could not have pursued a pol­ icy more hostile to the interests of honest and deserving men, had it started out with that purpose. The record of five thousand actual settlers--not grasping corporations, not rich and law-defying syndicates, but actual settlers, men and women who had in good faith, trusting to the good faith of the Government, taken up these lands for homes for themselves and their families--1 the record, we say, of five thousand honest men and women driven from their homes by the Government is not one for pride and congratulation, but for sh ime and dis­ grace. The whole policy of the Land De­ partment, in so far as it has any distinct and original policy of its own, is one to be condemned as dishonest in its purposes and vicious and disastrous to the public good in ita results.--Iowa <State Register.
