OON after the cLoso of tho civil wsr in tho United States ) ii:"'KraUr.n, al-y.v-y..,., wnys of no mean jirupuriiuiin, m- c r o a s e d rapid? y. It was thou tho American public lirst legai to hear much of commun ism, wxnalisni mid uruirchisrn. In l-M'-J tlio maximum was .a.- - rmohed when TJX'K2 Europe&iia landed iu tlio United States. Immigration from Eng land had declined and that from Ireland fallen to a minimum; Lut from southern Germany there was tui inimeii.so increase, while eastern Kuropesont Poles, liohomiaiis, -.ta-sians, Hungarians and thoir conveners by tons of thousands. 1? many of those jieoplo hatred of government hud become heredi tary sentiment. Chicago became hoadipiar tors for the diseo.-itoiitod, and The Arbeiter Zcitung (Workers' Journal) thoir orau. Then Sprung up in tliat city tho International 'Workingmon's association. Tho platform or declaration of principles of this organization, as was testified to at tlio trial, urged that tho present system under w hich property id owned by individuals should be destroyed, and that all capital which has been produced by labor should be transformed into com mon property." Tho association v.a3 divi ded into "groups," ot which thcro vero ighty in tlio United States in March, PsS5, located principally in tho cities of industry. ECKrn: op toe bomb TnnowTN'O. Tho Chicago groups were known as the North Side, tho Northwest Side, tho Ameri ran, tho Karl ?.lars, tho Froiheit, the South vest; Side and Jefferson ISo. 1. Schwab, Wcelx. and Lingg belonged to tho North Sido "group; Engelnnd Fischer to the North west bide, and Spies, Parsons and Fielden to tho American. There was also an armed social istic organisation call 3d the Lehr und Yvchr Verein, whoso members seem to have also been member3 of the International 'TOup3," but tu have been of a higher rank. Tho branch of tlio International VTcrking men's association which existed in Chicago during 1SS5 ami nn to May 4, 1SSC, was a com pact, well disciplined organization. At tho head of it was ft general or central commit tee. Next to it como tho Lchr und "Wchr Vercin. Then camo the "armed sections" of the various "groups," and then camo tho un armed members of tho "groups." JUST BEFORE THE TRAGEDY. Tho evolution of tho tragedy was curious! 7 regular. First, as has boon shown, theso nien taught radical Socialism. Nest, they organized dis contented workingmcn to act moro cfTicier.tl7 ia strikes. "Hie usual trouble arose: "scabs' took the place of striking workmen, they were attacked by tho otrikera, the police wero Called on for protection and the inevitable question was presented shall we fight? Tho Anarchists, in speech and in Tho Arbeiter Zoitung, vehemently urged destructive measures. They exhorted th9 strikers to fight both tho "sea!-"' and tho police, gave minute instructions how to use nitro-glycerine and manufacture bombs, and had "armed sections" of their supporters who drilled nightly and were instructed in tho use of bombs. At length it was bolaly announced that the Anarchists had .r,0C0 armed and well drilled revolutionists in Chicago, and it was proved that they really had 3,000 at this time, as was worn to during tho trial. Tho Arbeiter Zoi tung and Tho Alarm published many such sentiments as theso: Daggers and revolvers are easily to be ;?otten; band grenades are cheaply to be produced. "Will the workinmen supply tUemstlves witii weapons, drna:nitti and prussic acid? Tbe workingmcn ought to take aim at every member of the militia. And while the writers acted with what they probably considered caution, tho speak ers useu. lar.guago of a very inilam rantory character. Still, though one of the Chicago papers had predicted seri ous trouble, tho meetings wero not s u p p r e f-sed. Cut Frcde rick Eber sold, superintend ent, and John Boa field, inspector of police, were well F?fRJ 5tr' made tho most elaborate preparations to meet tho outbrv&k when it should come, dpt.

On lb.3 evening oZ May 4 about ",000 people assembled. The managers placed tho wagon on which the speakers were to stand a little ' way up Desplaiucs Etreot from tho llay marke'.", by the mouth of a convenient alley, and at a point where they ccuid havo a full view of the police as tho latter advanced from their Desplaines Street station. Mayor Carter Harrison was in the crowd and ex pressed some surprise at tho mildness of tho first speakers, Spies and Parsons. Tho crowd was disappointed, too, and was fast melting awa3", when Fielden took his stand in tho wagon. - His most intimate English friends could not have recognized tho mild Metho dist cshorter and laborer of other days. His frenzied declamation excited what remained of the crowd, and their applause- reacted on him. It was testified at the trial that ho called for immediate action in theso words: Ami ! Arm : '. Turottio and kill the law ! Then Inspector Ecnficld decided to disperse the meeting. Seven companies of policemen, 17.- men, iu platoons reaching from curb to curb, marched from their station of Des jdaincr. street north to tho wagon. As tLcy drew near, Fielden is trr.-ora to have shouted: "Here come the bloodhounds; you do year duty and Iil do minel'' dpt. Ward, of tho pe.ice, called out: "In the luuua cf th. people of the str.to -f Illinois I command you to peaceably d pcrse I" Fielden stepped dcnn from tho wagon ex claiming: "V."earo peaceable!'1 It wa3 claime- l by tho prosecution that tho -ror.l "peaceable" was the signal agreed on.
