The Injunction Is an Ingenious device to

Injunctions are dangerous playthings.
Santo , the assassin of President Carnet ,

The aenato Is rapidly getting back Into
Its old habits ot Indolence. It adjourned
from Friday to Monday after a session of
less than two hours. It will now convene
at the accustomed noon hour on only four
Cays of the week and proceed In the most
leisurely manner. Not a vostlgo of the
compulsory habits of work formed during
the tariff debate will bo visible In another
week.
There Is no use deploring the smallness
of the regular army. It Is not the function
of the regular army to pollco the entire
country. The duty devolves exclusively upon
tha several states. As to protecting our
territory from Invasion by foreign foes It
1ms been doing very well for years past
and will find all necessary assistance af
forded by volunteers should the occasion
demand.
A Colorado clergyman elaborating on the
beauties ot woman suffrage as nvlnced by
the experiment In that state says that ho
visited all tha nlno polling places In the
town where ho resides and In only one was
the tobacco smoke disagreeable enough to
bo noticeable. And this , ho asserts , will be
prevented by the women next time. At last
wo have the mission of the woman
suffragists clearly defined. It Is to clear
the polling places ot disagreeable tobacco
smoke. Danish tobacco smoke and the
reason for the woman suffrage movement
will have disappeared. So long as the
polling placet ot Colorado remain Infected
with tobacco mnoko the experiment with
woman suffrage must bo regarded as only
partially successful.
K T1IK IIAIMIOAH STUIKK.
The railroad strike lias reached propoi
tlona ( hat threaten to engulf the country I
civil war. The American people demand tin
It bo settled speedily. There can be r
permanent settlement of the conflict betwce
the railroads and their operatives until It
settled right. The duties , privileges an
rights of each must bo defined by law , Pul
tic carriers , whether on land or ea , ahoul
be under governmental control and supcrv
lion. Their operatives should bo enrollc
like soldiers and sailors , and strikes on put
lie highways should be as rare as mutlnli
In our army or navy. So long as the rallroa
employes remain subject to the caprice (
managers and bosses and their services ma
be dispensed with on short notice or no nt
tlce , and their wages cut down arbltrarll
without reference to faithfulness , olllclcnc
and life-long service , they necessarily mui
band together for mutual protection. Th
only weapon they have for redressing grle\
ances and abuses Is the strike , and thu
means anarchy on the public highways. Th !
Is a condition that calls for statesmansh !
rather than force ot arms.
The present strike can be put dawn I
twenty-four hours If congress nnd the proV
dent would do their duty to the CJiintn
They can and should call a halt and a true
to hostilities on both sides by an aj.pe :
to the railway employes nnd railway n.ann
gcra to negotiate conditions under whlc
the railroads can be operated with safet
to the public and satisfaction to owners an
employes. The continuance of the candle
between the railroads and their employe
Is a crime against the nation. It endanger
public safety and Is a menace to our fori
of government.
It Is not a question now whether the strlk
Is right or wrong , but whether this countr
shall be Mexlcanizcd by periodic , bloody en
counters on the public highways. Puttln
down the strike by force of arms and In
dieting pains and penalties upon the striker
will not settle the ever-recurring conflict
between railroads and their operatives. I
the railroad managers win the fight It wl !
be renewed , perhaps with more destructlv
tendency , before flve years roll 'round. I
the strikers win the railroad managers wll
be subject to the menace of periodic tie-up
whenever they refuse or fall to comply wltl
demands of the railway unions.
In cither case the public Is the prlnclpa
sufferer. The people pay the bills In hlghe
rates than they could get If railways wer
secure from disturbance. It Is now for th
government. Including congress and the ex
ecutlvo , to grapple with this grave problem
Its solution must be sought through mutua
concessions , government supervision am
compulsory arbitration.
NK IXVITIID 'JO AMERICA.
Some time ago a movement was begui
to Induce Mr. Gladsone to vl.'lt the Unltet
States , and It has now taken definite fern
In an Invitation sent to the eminent Engllsl
statesman signed by Vice President Steven
son , Chief Justice Fuller , senators , repre
sontatves : In congress and a number o
prominent citizens. The Invitation refen
to the beneficent Influence of the long am
brllllint ccurse of Mr. Gladstone , and ex
presses the desire to contribute In BOIW
measure to his happiness during the sea
BOH of rest that Is before him. It assure
him that his presence In America wouli
bo regarded ns an honor by our people , am
promises that If ho shall accept the Invlta
tlon every provision will be made to In
sure him the utmost comfort In all re
spects , with entire freedom from Intruslot
of every kind upon his privacy. "Yoi
would be , " reads the Invitation , "our guesl
from the moment of leaving your homf
until your return , which would bo , wo trust
with a new lease of life and Increased powei
for Its enjoyment. " The coming autumr
Is the time suggested for the visit.
Mr. Gladstone has many times said thai
It would be a pleasure to him to visit till :
country , but to the numerous assurance :
ho has received that the American people
would accord him n most cordial welcome
and show him the distinguished considera
tion duo to his eminent place among the
greatest statesmen the world has known ,
ho has uniformly replied that ho could not
see his way clear to come to the Unlteil
States. True , that was when he was ac
tively engaged In political affaln and It
seemed necessary that he should bo almost
continually at the post of duty. It Is pos
sible that ho may feel different now that he
has bid aside the carea and labor of lead
ership and proposes to rest during the re
maining years of hU life from the turmoil
nnd strife of politics. At the end of his
present term In parliament Mr. Gladstone
will retire from public life , and after that
the world will hear from him only through
the medium of his pen , for undoubtedly he
will still give his countrymen the benefit ol
tils wisdom and his counsel. But the fact
that ho desires and needs rest may operate
io deter him from accepting an Invitation
to visit the United States , which ho knows
; hat , despite any arrangements which might
ho made , would compel him to be exceedingly
ictlvo while hero , for certainly no other llv-
ng man would have greater attention and
loners paid him by the American people
; han would bo accorded to William Uwart
[ Hailstone , If ho should attempt to see Miy
considerable part of this country ho could
lot avoid the popular ovations which would
uvorywhere bo extended to him , nnd If ho
wore to endeavor to respond to all the Invita
tions that would bo extended to him by com-
nunllfes desiring to do htm honor , he would
Hnd his time fully occupied and the demand
upon his energies greater than that over
mposed by the most exacting of political
campaigns. Vet , If ho ixuno here , he would
feel under obligation to respond to as many
} f these Invitations as possible.
When It Is considered that Mr. Gladstone
s In his 85th year , and that for more than
mlf a century ho has been one of the most
ictlvo of European statesmen , It Is easy to
understand that ho may regard a visit to
Iho United State * as Involving a greater
requisition upon his physical powers than It
would bo prudent to subject them to. Un-
loubtedly ho would find great gratification
n seeing for himself the greatness of this
: ountry , the distinctive features of Its de
velopment , and the peculiar energy and en-
crprUo ot Its people. As the friend ot free
nstltutlons and the admirer of the great
opubllc , Mr. Gladstone would undoubtedly
Ind hero much to please him. But at his
line ot Ufa men do not care a great deal for
hla sort of gratification , and their dlsposl-
Jon Is to avoid , rather than to seek , demon
strations of popular honor and homage. Mi
Gladstone knows his place In the oplnloi
and the consideration ot the civilized wnrM
and ho doubtless understands that , cxcvp
his own countrymen , no people hold him I ;
so great esteem as the people of the Unltci
States. It Is not necessary that ho shout
come here In order to demonstrate that , fo
evidence ot It Is not lacking. While , there
fore , the Invitation extended to the Illus
trlous English statesman by no many dl
tlngulshed Americans Is a most graccfu
compliment to the "grand old man , " whlcl
undoubtedly he wilt heartily appreciate , It I
not at all probable that tt will bo accepted
It Involves too many possibilities ot dangc
to the declining physical energies nt th
VLtoran statesman.
LAST Of TlIK I'OSTAl , XOTK.
With the beginning ot the new fiscal yea
last week the postal note mad
Its exit from among the num
ber of conveniences afforded by th
postal system of the United States , am
although the place Is to be supplied by tin
new money order , It will doubtless bi
missed , at least until the public become )
thoroughly acquainted with the substitute
The postal note made Us first appearanci
In September , 1883 , having been nulhorlzet
by law as an experiment to facilitate thi
transmission of small turns of mone ]
through the malts. It was limited to de
nominations of $5 or less , and Issued a
the uniform price of 3 cents. In the elevci
years that It has been In use It has under
gone several modification ! . Its form lia :
been changed mere than once. U wai
from the first made payable to bearer ot
presentation at any money order olllce. Bj
the law of 18S7 It was made Isstiable bu
not payable at all postofflccs. For the po
rlod 1383-i the postal note was Issued cnlj
ten months , but for the fiscal year 1884- !
the number Issued was 5,058,287 of the tola
value of J3.99G.27-I.37 , an Increase of ovei
H per cent over what the volunu
of business would have been the prevloui
year had the postal note been Issued the en
tire twelve months. The extension of tin
use of the postal note has slnco been falrlj
regular , although the average sum for whlcl
It was Issued , which was at drst $2.01 , liai
steadily decreased by a few cents each year
That Is to say the postal note has been utll
Ized more and more for the transmission o
the smallest sums that are sent by mall.
The objections to the postal note In Iti
perfected condition were summed up In UK
last annual report of Postmaster Genera
Wanatnaker In the word "Insecurity. " Tin
postal note which was Issued In sums les :
than $5 , payable to bearer at any monoj
order odlce , required neither written appll
cation nor the secret advice , and balng there'
fore less expensive to the department could
bo Issued for a smaller fee than the monej
order. But while there were certainly som <
advantages In this It lacked the security ol
the money order , which is payable only te
a designated person after Identification at c
designated odlce. The postmaster general
suggested as a remedy for this Insecurltj
that the form of the postal note bo altered
so as to permit the sender to Insert the
name of the payee. The same object Is to be
secured by the new money order which Is te
supplant the postal noto. Tiie new money
order is printed In the same style as the
postal nolo and , whllo Issued and paid as ol
old , Is to be had at a much reduced schedule
of fees , the charge for , orders for sums of less
than $2'.50 being ' 3t cents and for' sums ol
from $2.50 to $5 being 5 cents. Since the
greater number of postal notes Issued an
nually were for sums of less than $2 the
expense will be about the same and the se
curity considerably greater.
Having the new money order as a sub
stitute , few people will regret the departure
of the postal note. The postal note , however ,
has served a very useful and honorable ca
reer. It has been the means of expanding
the business of the postofllce by enabling
people to send small sums of money by mall
at reasonable rates. It has been really a
pioneer In developing among the people the
habit of patronizing the postofdce when they
wish to transmit money. This habit will
persist , although transferred to the new
money order , which will thus secure the
benefit of the missionary work which the
postal note has done.
tr VAUKS.
The house committee on military affairs
has reported favorably the bill to establish
a national military park on the battlefield ot
Shlloh. If this measure passes there will
be four of the great battlefields of the re
bellion dedicated to this purpose Gettysburg ,
Antlctnm , Chlckamauga and Shlloh. The bill
for making the deld ot Shlloh a national
park provides an Initial appropriation of $150-
000 , which Is a greater sum than has been
given to > both Gettysburg and Antletam. The
former , which was the scene of perhaps the
greatest battle of the war , has received but
one appropriation , $25,000 , for preserving the
lines of battle , erecting tablets , etc. It Is
proposed , however , In the pending sundry
civil appropiatlon bill , to allow $50,000 for
Gettysburg. The battlefield of Antletam has
not fared so well. In 1892 congress appro
priated $16,310 for surveying , locating and
preserving the lines of battle of the army of
the Potomac and the army of Northern Vir
ginia at the -battle of Antletam , which
amount , proving Insufficient for the purpose ,
was Increased In 1893 by the addltbn of
$15,000. Doubtless when this work Is com
pleted further appropriations will be made
to maintain that battlefield as a military
> ark. As to Gettysburg a great deal has
) oen done to preserve it for future gener
ations by the combined efforts of the dif
ferent union commands which fought there ,
the Gettysburg Memorial association and
state appropriation. It should be , and doubt-
ess will bs , made a national military park ,
though Its preservation as historic ground
s assured without this.
Strictly speaking , the only national mili
tary park at this tlmo Is that of Chlcka-
nauga , for which congress has appropriated
since 1890 $575,000 , and Is now proposing
an additional appropriation of $75,000. If
the Shlloh bill passes It will give a second
great military park to Tennessee , and tt has
been suggested that congress may not be
disposed to establish two such parks In
that state whllo putting off the scenes of
the army of the Potomac conflicts with
tablets. But It It bo admitted ( hat the bat-
lolleld of Shlloh ought to be thus preserved
I Is not a valid objection that there Is an
other military park In the same stato. Cer
tainly the battle of Shlloh was ono of the
nest Interesting of the war , and It has been
the subject of many conflicting accounts ,
There. WON great commanders on either
nlde , and bath sides displayed great valor.
The battlefield Is described ua an unsightly
tract of land covering some 3,000 acres , llt
tlo changed since the days of the battle , but
unmarked and neglected and affording to
the visitor llttlo knowledge as to the course
of the conflict. That U bliould bo taken car ?
ot as ono ot the memorable scenes of the
war does not admit of question ,
Tb transformation of the more Important
battlefields of ' of the rebellion Int
national mltlUrr park * nnd their propc
maintenance by fhi government will be ap
proved by all t ij jcan appreciate the Influ
dice which tlxpe historic scenes must excr
upon the pitrfntlrfm of the people. Th
value they poMctb' . In this respect will no
be Impaired byn time , and what they lead
of American heroltiii will bo more potcn
than the rccltal91Jbf history.

SCHOOL TKAQIUlill Al'l'llKXTICKSllll' .
In an article in'llnrpcr's Magazine , mos
suggestive In nior < ? ways than one , gtvlni
' '
"An Australian's ! Impressions of America , '
Miss C. II. Spence Illustrates the oxtraordl
nary versatility of the American people b ;
citing the manner In which school tcachlni
leads to all professions nnd all avocations li
this country. The writer Is struck with th
fact that so many people teach school whll
walling for something more attractive ti
turn up and that so many have proved sue
ccssful In using school teaching as a prc
tlmlnary to some other occupation. This
she says , Is almost unknown In England am
Australia. "There the young men and maid
ens go Into the public schools as a professloi
through the apprenticeship of pupil teachers
not oaf a stepping stone to something hlghe ;
or mare prodtable. The young women mai
marry and leave tt , but It they remain slngli
and keep their health they continue theli
work In the schools. "
So far as the schools are concerned , Mis :
Spence admits that America gains by the ad
mission ot so much new blood of the bes
kind Into her educational body , but she alsi
Insists that she loses a great deal In tin
wisdom of experience. The now recruit li
school teaching brings with him much youth
ful energy and enthusiasm. At the sami
time ho views his labors merely as temporary
ary a view that does not conduce to tin
most careful work. A good teacher Improve :
all through her career , but experience !
teachers nre next to an Impossibility undei
the American system that Imposes on womci
the bulk of the- school teaching. Accordln (
to Miss Spence , nowhere In the world liai
the teaching ot the people been thrown lnt <
the hands of women as In America and no
where Is the average term of service so short
The effect of this upon the people whc
graduate from this school teaching appren
tlceshlp Into the home , or Into the varloiu
professions Is not alluded to In the article
but that It does Its work fairly well Is to b <
gathered from the remark that wherevei
the author has traveled she has fount
teachers present and teachers past , the lat
ter In most unexpected quarlers , In th (
church , In law , In medicine , In every pro-
fcsslon. She might have added that formei
teachers are also found In every departmenl
of the public Service , " on the bench , In the
legislature , In congress , In the cabinet , a ;
well as several times In the president's chad
itself. What kind of housewives ant !
mothers the women'teachers make Is not o
matter of puljllc ( record ] , but It Is unllkolj
that they are more unfitted for their domestic
duties by their experience In the school
room than they would bo had they spent the
same time at a typewriter or behind a bar
gain counter. The school teachers probably
gain more by 'their apprenticeship than the
'
pupils. ,

A. W. Fairbanks ! jfor many years a news
paper publisher 'and widely known In that
connection , dlbd In Boston last Tuesday.
Mr. Fairbank | 'jvas , born In New Hamp
shire and learned the printing trade , In
which ho was very proficient. Ills first
newspaper connection was with the De
troit Advertiser , and later he was publisher
of the Toledo Blade. Forty-four years ago
he became ono of the proprietors of the
Cleveland Herald and continued as the
publisher of that paper until 1878 , when ho
disposed of It and retired from the news
paper business , though continuing his con
nection with printing. A few years ago he
gave up all business and removed from Cleve
land to Omaha , remaining In this city a
couple of years , when he removed to Boston.
Whllo In Omaha Mr. Fairbanks made n
number of friends who will regret to hear
ol his death. He was a successful pub
lisher and a man of excellent business abil
ity and sterling Integrity. Ho was a most
companionable man , and to his friends , of
whom ho had a host , faithful and generous.
No one who had his confidence was ever
refused a favor 'or a kindness that ho could
grant. HU business career ot more than
halt a century was active and useful , and
the memorials of his personal worth live In
the hearts of all who enjoyed Intimate re
lations with him.
One of the flrs.t results of the present
railroad strike , no matter what Its Im
mediate outcome may bo , Is bound to be
a renewed agitation for government owner
ship of railroads. The first evidence of
this Is to be found In the resolution already
Introduced by Senator Allen Into the senate
calling for the appointment of a committee
to consider the advisability and necessity of
government ownership of railroads. Senator
Allen has not committed himself to the
policy of publicly owned railroads , but It Is
plain that ho Is seriously thinking of It In
case no other solution to the present diffi
culties Is presented. The agitation ot the
question must necessarily receive some Im
petus outside the halls of congress. The
strike threatens to make the problem of
government ownership ot railroads ono of
the near future Instead ot merely the
oretical disquisition.

FALLS CITY , Neb , , July 7.-Spcclnl t
Tlio Bee. ) Morgan 0'IIrlcii , formerly o
this city , and 0110 of a party which lei
Ytitna early In April for San Francisco , vl
Guaymas , on a sloop , arrived nt Yuina Ina
week. Two of the parly nre roporicil klllei
ilttrltiK the expedition by Indians iitu
O'Hrlen hns sent the following story to hi
relatives here :
" \Vo arrived at KroshVatcr bay , nt th
north end of Tlburon Island , about 3 o'clocl
on the afternoon of May 25 , nml cast audio
about 100 yards from the beach. 1 had beci
very sick for three weeks , and , while bet
tcr , was still barely able to stand on in ;
feet. Cowcll had left us at Angel do
Gliardla bay and gone direct to Ouayni.is.
"Iloblnson , Logan and Clark lowered on
small boat and went ashore to look fo
water , ns our supply was very poor In < iual
Ity. Near where wo anchored they found t
camp of Eomo thirty Indians , besides squaw :
and children. Ono of the old Indian :
claimed to bo the chief and had a papoi
from Some Mexican government olllclal a
Hcrmoalllo , which stated that Don 1'oiln
Garcia , the bearer , was chief of the Cerli
Indians and that any one desiring to ge
water or to hunt on the Island must firs
obtain permission from him.
"Our parly asked him If there was anj
good water there , to which he replied tha
there was a spring on the beach near by
After talking with him and others for sonu
time the parly returned lo the sloop.
"During the afternoon a dozen or llfteei
of the Indians came on board. We gavi
them some Hour , tobacco and other thing :
and they returned to the island. After sup
per our party. , except myself , went nslion
and watched the Indians dance and sngagt
In other amusements until late at night.
"About 7 o'clock the next morning. Maj
20 , the party returned to the Island , Kobln
son and Logan taking their rifles and Clarl
his revolver. The two former were huntliif
for u deer , of which the old chief said then
weru a great many. After they had gem
Clark came bark to the sloop , but soon re'
turned to the shore. The Indians asked lilir
to loan them our boat that they might catel
a turtle. He consented , and four Indian !
went down the beach about 300 yards ami
landed , two of them getting out and stand
Ing near by , while the other two sat still It
the boat.
HAILED IJY THE CHIEF.
"I lay down In the cabin , and had hardlj
done so before I heard three rltle shots
about , as It seemed , a halt mlle away. At
soon as the chief heard the shots he seemoc
wonderfully well pleased , and said to Clark
'They have got a deer , n big btiror deer
let's you and I go down and clean out the
spring so that you can have some good , fresh
water when you go. '
"As Clark looked up he saw the four In
dians Jump Into the boat and pull for the
sloop. When I heard the shots I got tir
and called to Clark , who was within speak
ing distance. 'I do not like the looks ol
things. You had better come on board.1
I took my double-barreled shotgun , slipped
Into It two cartrlges loaded with buckshot ,
and placed my revolver on the deck within
reach.
"At this Juncture I motioned to the In
dians to get Clark , who was calling them ,
but they gave no heed. He told mo not
to let them come near the sloop , and I
called to them to stop , but on they came.
I leveled my gun on them and yelled to
them to stop. They did so , and turning
went to whore Clark was standing , landed
the boat and Jumped ashore. As they did
so he jumped Into the boat and pulled off
to the sloop.
"While this was transpiring we heard
fifteen to twenty shots not more than 300
yards away and heard Logan shouting for
help , The last words we heard were ,
'Oh , George,1 which Is Clark's first name.
Clark called again and again to Logan , but
got no response.
"Clark hauled In the anchor and , taking
a pole , pushed the shop past the point so
that we could look down the Island toward
where wo heard Logan's call. All we saw
was seven or eight Indians on the run over
tha sandhills.
"When the second volley was fired the
old chief , women and children fled over the
hill. The four who had been In the boat
al.o ran We lay as near the shore as we
dared , calling for Logan.
"For two days w6 lay near by , but never
saw a sign ot either Indian or white man.
My opinion Is that the Indians had planned
to murder us. When Iloblnson and Logan
went hunting the Indians lay In ambush.
Iloblnson , I think , was killed In the flrU
volley , but Logan ran on until he was shot
by the second party of Indians In hiding ,
The old chief Intended to get Clark down to
the spring and murder him , whllo the four
In the boat would do away with me. "
O'imiEN'S TALK WITH A FIIIEND.
While In Yumu In April this year , Mr. W.
E. Dorrlngton of this city met Morgan
O'Hrlon and O'Hrlen Informed him at the
time that arrangements weru being perfected
for a trip down the Gulf of California In a
small scow or boat about twelve feet by
eighteen feet. Mr. Dorrlngton also met the
other members of the party , viz : Robinson ,
Logan and Clark , and all were making rapid
preparations to move. It seems that some
fear was expressed at the tlmo to O'Urlen
that some danger would be cncountcrd on
such a voyage and possibly ho would lose his
life , but he Jokingly answered that u fellow
illdn't have but one tlmo to die.
Morgan O'Hrlen was born In Peterboro ,
Canada , about thirty-three years ago. Ills
parents removed to Richardson county In
1872 and ho had lived In Falls City over
since until about six years ago , at which
tlmo he went to California on a prospecting
lour. There are quite n'number of old Falls
City residents located In Yuina , principally
J. W , Dorrlngton , now editor of thu Yumu
Sentinel , and It Is supposed O'Drlon settled
lown thcro after roaming around for awhile.
O'llrlen's father la now 'residing near
riall'H postofllce , Old. Ills uncle , Morris
O'Hrlen , and cousin , Mrs. T. J. McKlcvor ,
reside In this city and are willing to be-
llevo the Htory related above , ns O'Urlen was
always considered trustworthy. A number
3f acquaintances of O'Hrlen all say that his
word was always taken as authentic and
. onM lie rolled upon , and wo Judge from this
the above story can bo rolled upon. John
TUrlen , night watch at Stella , this county ,
Is a brother of O'llrlen.
H. E. L. Iloblnson , the second member of
the party , and ono of thouo reported killed ,
kvas a newspaper man. Ho had been con
nected as a reporter with the press of Snn
Francisco and St. Louis , and ho claimed his
: iomo was InTexas. . Somn hero seem to
loubt that Iloblnson Is killed , and bcllevo
t Is only a ruse to get some Individual
lotorlety , but O'Hrlon's story seems to bo
ill right. James Logan , the other ono re-
mrlcd killed , was a miner , and had lived
tear Yumii for some time , but was ot a
ovlng disposition.
George Clark of Flaven , a < * ho calls hlm-
ief | , Is a hunter and trapper. He Is from
California , but has been on the Colorado
Ivor for two or three years.
When O'Hrlen left Guaymas General Luis
5 , Torres , commanding the northwest do-
> artment ot Mexico , had ordered fifty sol-
llers to go by steamer from Cluaymas to
rihuron , and 100 cavalry from Hormoslllo
iverland to a point opposite thu Island , where
i tuir will meat and carry them over the
: hannol. which at one place In only a mile

Igatcd by General Torres , and If the Coris

ANAROIIY'3 MODERN RECORD.
Itomiirkiililr Activity of tlm l > c' tniotliml li
In tlm 1'ri'iirli Capital.
The activity ot the anarchists In Parli
during the lust two or throe years has been
nlirost Incessant and has resulted In many
attempts to kill public men by means of
bomb explosions. Though few people lmv
been seriously Injured by these attempts In
comparison with the posslbllllles of death
from the dangerous explosives thrown In
much frequented places , great excitement
and uneasiness hove been caused In th
public mind In I'arls , and severe measures
have been adopted by the French govern
ment and the I'arls police against Ilia
anarchists. The desperate nature ot tha
anarchistic conspiracy , says the New York
Tribune , has been shown by the quick mic-
cession In which murderous plots have bten
carried Into execution In the face of tlm
vigorous measures ot repression and tha
relentless application of the legal penalties
to the pcrpetrnlors whenever they have
been caught. Some of the most striking
of the murderous attempts of the anarchist *
have been as follows :
An explosion which wrecked the first and
second floors of the house of M. Heiiolt , 130
Boulevard St. Germain , occurred on March
II , 181)2. It was caused by a dynamite
cartridge. Great damage was dona lo the
house ; ono man , n valet , was wounded , but
only slightly. M. Ucnolt was iho magistrate
who tried Decamps , an anarchist , In 18'Jl , for
alUcklng two police onicers. . U was after
ward shown that this was ono of a scries of
outrages planned by the anarchists against
magistrates and other officers of the gov
ernment who had taken part In bringing
anarchists to Justice. The chief Instigator
of these crimes was discovered by the pollco
to be one Francois Claudius Konlgstcln ,
known as llavachol , a man who Imd been
concerned In other crimes before.
HURLING DYNAMITE.
The house of the public prosecutor , M.
Hulot , In the Hue Cllehy , was the scene of
a dynamite explosion on March 27 , which
was aimed against M. llulot's lite , but ha
escaped unharmed. Seven other persons
were Injured , however , and the house It
self was wrecked. It was opanly avowed
at this time that the anarchists hnd de-
teimined to blow up the house of any Judge
or prosecutor who helped to send anarchists
to prison.
On March 29 there was another explosion ,
this time In the building of the Credit '
Lycnnalso , one of the largest banking houses
In I'arls. Two persons were Injured. An
explosion occurred on March 15 In the
Lobati barracks In Paris , occupied by the
Republican guard , adjoining the Hotel do
Vllle. H was duo to a dynamite cartridge
pieced In the mess room. Fortunately none.
of the guards were killed.
llavachol , who was subsequently tried ,
sentenced to death anil guillotined , was
arresled by the pollco on March 30 , In the
cafe of M. Very , corner of Hns Lancry and
the Boulevard Magenta. On April 20 this
cafe was blown up by a terrific explosion of.
dynamite. Ten persons were seriously In
jured. M. Very had been In receipt ot
threatening letlers from anarchists slnco
Ravuchol was arrested there , In which ho
was warned that he and Ills establishment
were marked for destruction. The ex
plosion , coming so soon utter those of thu
Houlevurd St. Geinmln and the Rue Cllehy ,
added to the great excitement nml uneasi
ness prevalent In Paris , and caused re
newed measures of severity to bo adopted
by the Paris police. Other anarchists ar
rested at the same tlmo for complicity In
these outrages were Charles Achello Simon ,
Jno Ueala , Charles Chaumnrtln anil a young
girl , Rosalie Souberc.
A BOMU AMONG THE DEPUTIES.
The most alarming of the recent attempts
of the Parla anarchists was the throwing ot
the bomb In the Chamber of Deputies whllo
It waa In session , on December ! ) , 1893. This
was the work ot Angusto Valllant. The usual
number of deputies were present , and p'ubllo
business was under consideration , when
Valllant , who occupied a seat In the gallery ,
threw a bomb upon the floor of the house ,
which exploded with a terrific report. No
DUO was killed , but a largo number of the
deputies and several of the spectators In the
gallery were Injured , more or less seriously ,
jy flying fragments of the bomb ; great dam-
ige was also done to the Chamber Itselt.
Valllant was arrested and confessed his
: rlme , saying that his object was the death
if M. Dupuy. Ho was tried , sentenced to
leath , and was guillotined a few weeks
ater.
Twenty-four persons were wounded on
February 12 , this year , by a bomb explosion
n the cafe of the Hotel Terminus , nt the
Jt. Lozaro railroad station , Paris. The cafe
vns well filled when , about 9 o'clock In the
ivenlng , a young man came In , drank a glass
if wine at a table , then rose and , taking
'rom ' his pocket p. bomb , threw It toward a
jroup of people at a neighboring table , The
> omb hnd been filled with bullets and bits ot
ron , and the scattering of these caused
nest of the wounds. In the dense smoke
vltli which the room was filled for three
ir four minutes after the explosion , the
lonib-throwcr made his escape to the street.
Three policemen saw him running and pur-
ucd him , commanding him to stop. Ills
eply wan to halt nml to lire II vo shots at
hem , ono bullet striking Policeman Polsson ,
ntllctlng a mortal wound. The other two
lollccmen , with the assistance ot a waiter , !
ucceedcd In grappling with and overpower-
ng the bonibthrower. At the station the
cllow , who at first called himself Leon lire-
on , but whoso name was soon ascertained
o bo Emllo Henry , said : "Yes , I am an
jiarchlst , and the more of the bourgeolso I
11 led the better It would plcaso mo ! "
HORN TO CRIME.
It was learned that this young anarchist ,
fhoso father had been a colonel of the Com-
iiuno , had been graduated from the Sor-
onno In thu department of science , having
, -on a state medal. Two years before the
utrugo at the Hotel Terminus he began
o dovota most of his tlmo to writing for
narchLt papers. Ho was arrested after the
! afo Very explosion , but was released two
ays later. Ho had coino to Paris from
, end on a month before throwing thu bomb
n the cafo.
Incited by Henry'H crime , the pollco
hroughout Franco mode raids In February
n the dwellings of anarchists , many of
. horn were arrested.
Henry was placed on his trial In the Seine *
> sslzo3 on April 27 , and was convicted and
entcnced to death the next night. Ho
hawed much bravado ami maila many flip-
ant Interruptions In the course of the trial ,
Ho was guillotined early on the morning
f May 1. Thu night before his lawyer had
long audience with President Carnet , from
horn Jin vainly sought to obtain a respite
jr the * young anarchist.
On the ovunlng of April . this year , a
omb was exploded on n window sill of the
lostaurant Foyot , In Paris , Ono end of thu
BKtaurant was partly wrecked , and throw
ersons went seriously Injured , among them
