The Supreme Court ntul the Annrclilsta
The application of the attorneys for
the Chlcngo anarchists to the supreme
court ot the United States for n writ of
error has been refused by that tribunal ,
tho-full bench concurring in the de
cision. This result was iiot unexpected ,
in view of pafct decisions of the court
having a bearing upon the questions
presented in this case. These judg
ments nro referred to in the decision as
precedents of the correctness of which
the court entertained no doubt , nnd with
the ruling just mndo constitute n strong
harrier for the o.xcluHionof similar cases
from the jurisdiction of the federal supreme
premo court.
Regarding the legal merits of the do-
clbion in the anarchist case thcro will
probably bo very little question. It bears
evidence of careful deliberation , a solici
tude to overlook no relevant detail , nnd
a desire to state the position of the
court ns clearly nnd plainly as language
could do it , all indicating a profound
Boiibo of t'ho great importance of the
case in nil its aspects and boarings. It
will bo obvious , wo think , to every un
prejudiced reader of the decision that
the court might have warrantnbly dis
missed the application without listening
to argument's , eimply upon the plainly
defective character of the grounds of
application as shown by the record.
Tlio lack of knowledge or foresight on
the part of the attorneys in the trial is
conspicuously shown in their omission
to fortify themselves on these points
most vital in relation to the constitu
tional questions which , they subse
quently raised and most essential to
establish the jurisdiction of the supreme
court. It appears possible that the
result might have been different had
objection been made in the trial court to
the admission of the evidence which vir
tually compelled the prisoners to testify
against themselves , but this their at
torneys failed to do. It was not the
only matter in which they wore weak ,
though apparently not the least im
portant.
Having found the jury law of Illinois
valid and constitutional upon its face ,
and nothing in the record respecting
the acceptance of the alleged preju
diced juror contravening require
ments of the law , the claim
that the jury was not inlpar-
tial by reason of the presence
of this juror . could not be
sustained. Although the juror in
question had expressed an opinion on
the ca&o and was pronounced in his hos
tility to the class represented by the
men on trial , it was suflhjiont to qualify
him as a juror that ho atisficd the court
of his ability to render a verdict accord
ing to the evidence. The general im
portance of the decision as to this matter -
tor will bo obvious , since it affirms the
validity of jury laws permitting this
latitude.
The solo remaining hope of the con
demned men is in the clemency of Gov
ernor Oglcsby. None of them have
petitioned for a commutation of sentence
and probably will not , but the pres
sure upon the governor during the
remaining eight days before that
fixed for the execution , by these who
believe it would be n grave mistake to
hang these men , will undoubtedly bo
very groat. The responsibility thus
thrown upon the governor is , perhaps ,
the most serious that has over con
fronted him. IIo must bo aware of the
fact that since these men wore convicted
and condemned to death there has been
a. very great change in popular opinion
respecting both the justice and the wis
dom of that verdict. For every ton peo-
) lo who disapproved the verdict when
endored there are now ten thousand ,
and the vast majority of these tire law-
cspocling citizens who have no sym
pathy with the principles or the
nothods of anarchists. Many have
jceomo convinced that justice
does not demand the lives of
these men , while others believe that as
a matter of public policy it would bo
wi&cr to let them live , placing them
joyond the power of further mischief by
prolonged term of imprisonment.
Every argument that these people can
present will bo placed before the govern
or during the next eight days , and on
the other hand lie will have to con&idor
the verdict of the law and the mighty
prejudice ngainbt the condemned and
their principles with which it is sup
ported. It is a very grave , important
and hole in n duty that is now imposed
upon Governor Oglesby , and his action
will bo awaited with universal interest
and anxiety.

. . Inillfin
The report of the comml.bsiotior of Jn
dian affairs states that .the. Indians ar
Steadily inprovlliff. They are uiulclui
progress in the knowledge of agricul
ture , making good use of their ex
perience in stock raising , showing a
desire for hotter buildings nnd homo
appointments , and what is equally im
portant nro manifesting a growing in
terest in their schools. This encourag
ing generalization must not bo regarded ,
however , as indicating that the Iifdiuns
as whole . have settled down to an en
tirely peaceful and moral condition ,
requiring only that present methods
shall bo maintained to insure their con
tinuance in well doing. On the con
trary the report states that there is
urgent need for provision to secure
n belter Administration of jus
tice in the Indian territory ,
whore it IB said the reckless
destruction of human life , particularly
in the Cherokee nnd Creek nations , is
appalling to contemplate. Olllcors , in
attempting to discharge their official
duties , have boon brutally murdered ,
nnd the murderers hnvo escaped pun
ishment and oven trial. There is suf
ficient evidence that the number of bad
Indians is still very largo , and oven
with the progress making , is likely to
continue BO for some time to como.
Regarding the severally law , the
policy has been to "make haste slowly , "
and the commission suggests that the
publio must not bo impatient if the
work proceed less rapidly than it do-
sires. It was not intended to force the
law upon the acceptance of the Indians ,
and the president has followed the
proper course in ordering that allot
ments shall bo made only on reserva
tions whore the Indians are known to bo
generally favorable to the plan. It has
met with considerable opposition ,
largely inspired undoubtedly by inter
ested parties to whoso intorostsit is in
imical , though' to some oxto'nt by per
sons who profess to believe that it in
volves an injustice and would work an
injury to the Indians. It will take some
time to overcome this opposition , but
the commissioner reports that it is grad
ually disappearing and the law is gain-
in tj in favor. Every practical consideration - ,
ation is certainly in favor of the sever
ally policy as the ono most likely to ul
timately solve the Indian question , and
undoubtedly with beneficent results to
the Indian. Regarding the schools , the
report oilers some very cogent reasons
for the rule that only the English lan
guage bhall bo taught. Ho insists that
it is impracticable , if not impossible , to
civilize the Indians in any other tongue
than our own , and it is indeed sing
ular that there should bo any serious
disagreement on this proposition.
SKCUETAIIY WnrrNEYwho has nearly
recovered from his illness , says ho has
no idea of retiring from the navy de
partment. Regarding his illness , it is
stated to have been duo to overwork.
This is the statement of the secretary's
politic physician , nnd thereupon the
publio is informed of the unsuspected
fact that Mr. "Whitney has been per
forming prodigious labor and subjecting
himbolf to a vast amount of worry and
anxiety incident to the construction of
the new naval vessels ordered to bo
built by congress. The popular idea has
been that the softest place in the gov
ernment was that of secretary of the
navy , and that the present incumbent
understood perfectly how to enjoy its
advantages in this respect , but it
would bcem that this view will have
to bo amended. It is quite .possible ,
however , that the exactions of the social
lifo of Mr. Whitney have had quite as
much to do with his illness ns the wear
and tear of official duties. The high
living and elegant dissipation nt Wash
ington and Lenox for which the Whit-
noys are noted could not fail to bring its
penalty , and the secretary will do
wisely not to accept in full faith the
doctor's opinion that his ailment is all
%
the result of oxcesslvo labor. Alleged
overwork is n convenient excuse in
many cases where men suffer from
causes which they might have avoided
had they worked oven more than they
did.
THE German organ of Honest George
expresses the opinion that$8in clothing
store orders for six months' work is
about all lluvt Timmo's farm laborer
was worth. Timmo'd champion evi
dently thinks that wo are living in
China , where labor is worth about three
cents a day. Timmo's farm hand was a
German. Ho worked 150 days and there
fore received five and ono-oighth cents
per day. This was very liberal pay ac
cording to the Chinese standard. But
when Tiinmo brings in his own bill for
loafing around town three-fourths of his
time ho charges the county S3 a day , in
cluding nil holidays , and mileage
enough to carry him to Germany and
back four times a year , the taxpayers
have to grin and bear it. Honest George
is a grout friend of the workingman.
POLITICAL parties , kept to their prop
er sphere , are healthful to the republic.
But to all communi'ies , in the progress
of a high and generous civilization there
comes a time when the people lift thoh
JUDICIAUY above the realm of partisan
politics and cheese their judges be
cause of their fitness ; and not the leasi
of their recognized merits is their free
dom from political bias. The people ol
Omaha reached this point some years
since -and it is to the honor of om
young city that wo now have a nonpartisan -
partisan bench , ar.d the high standard
for our courts will not bo dropped at the
bidding of office brokers and ward poli
ticians.

Questions to Crawford.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 2. To the "Editor of
the BEE : Seeing the BEE of this date con
taining a letter of Inquiry from J. C. Craw
ford , of West Point , I nm constrained to ask
him a few questions :
1. Did you not , Mr. Crawford , como into
Lincoln early in the senatorial campaign and
announce your intention of remaining in the
capital city until C. H. Van Wyck was de
feated ?
2. Did you not say that you were against
Van Wyck and that your mission to Lincoln
was not for business , but principally to de
feat Van Wyck ?
3. Mr. Crawford , is it not generally sup
posed in the Seventh district that you are in
collusion with the railroad henchmen , and is
it not notorious that you stand in with the
ring nnd crowd that opposed nil legislation
favorable to the pcoplol
I am free to confess that I believe you
were , and think thcro will bo no difficulty in
proving that you wore against the people and
in favor of the railroads. I shall look with
interest for your answer , and take pleasure
in interesting other men in your actions nt
that timo.
The people should , without question , vote
for Mr. Norris a friend of tfeo masses nnd

RUHLE'S ESTATE.
AVhnt'Is Done For the Effects of This
Murdered Man.
More than ono year ago Chris Ruhlo was
murdered on the Union Pacific track a short
distance from the thickly settled part of the
city. The body was found in the yard of a
squatter's house , where it had lain during the
night. The distinguishing marks of the
eccno of the bloody encounter have been
removed because the ground belonged to the
Union Pacific. The murder or murderers
have not yet boon apprehended. Justice
Andres , who was appointed administrator
has collected nil the money ho could find
which belonged to the murdered man , liqui
dated some of his debts nnd deposited the
remainder in the United States National
bank. The Judge received in cash $ ! i90 and
collected on notes duo Huhlo for. real estate
which ho had Bold &I75 , making
n total of $005. Some claims
against the state , were filed by Chris Wirth ,
of the City hotel , but they were not allowed
by the court. Tlio administrator has asked
to bo discharged , and the time for this will
arrive In a few weeks. The proceeds of the
estate will bo turned over to Judge Benoke ,
who has a power of attorney for a brother
nnd sister of the deceased , who now reside
in Tubinger , Wertemberg , Germany. Mr.
jvudres has had occasion to write several
times to a notary at that placeonco upon the
disposition of 1,700 marks , which Mrs. Wirth
claimed came to Huhlo after his death nnd
which she also claims she returned to Ger
many. But with regard to this money the
German notary is mysteriously reticent.

The Sixth Lecture.
The audience which gathered at the Expo
sition hull last evening to listen to the last
lecture of the series by Citizen George Fran
cis Train was fully as large as any which has
greeted him hcietoforc. Contrary to his
usual custom the eminent gentleman was
somewhat tardy , but the time lost was very
soon made up. Citizen Train prefaced his
remarks by stating that ho was running in
opposition to the play of "Undo Tom's
Cabin , " which was being presented In the
west end of the building , and according to
his usual custom rcfiihcd to speak until the
tuidienco had flllcd all the front scats. When
this had been done Chief of Police Scavoy
introduced Mr. Train in a few appropriate
remarks in which ho referred to him as a
gentleman who was known throughout the
civilized world as one of America's greatest
and most gifted orators , and a man who
might justly claim the title of the father of
Nebraska.
Citizen Train , who in the meantime had
hung his hat upon the floor , cunio to the
front of the platform nnd said : "I am proud
to father such a handsome lot of children and
am deeply gratified by being introduced to
this audience by u gentleman who is us old
and clear n friend as Chief Seavey , oven if
ho is the chief of police. I hnvo had a great
many dealings with policemen in my time ,
and yet I huvo committed no crimes. Hut I
forgot myself as usual. " Hero Citizen Train
bestowed the boquots upon the reporters and
the little ones who occupied the stage. "I
wish , " ho continued , "to report progress.
Last night I thought I had said hut little , yet
on clipping from the morning papers. I mid I
hnvo said about three yards. " Hero the
speaker exhibited his "string. " "Through
tlieso three gentlemen sitting hero" ( indicat
ing the reporters ) , "I spoke lost evening to the
world , net only through the papers of
Omaha , but over 300,000 miles of wire ami
10,900 miles of cable. Now , I expect the city
council in hero in u few moments nnd don't
want to talit Omaha until they arrive. When
they do arrive I am going to take measures
to consolidate them as I have consolidated
every one with whom I have been in contact.
All those who favor this proposition say
aye. [ Unanimous vote. ] Before I talk any
farther I want to suy right hero that I nm
going to skip expatriate myself. I am go
ing to Bottle this question of lunacy right
now. [ Laughter. ] I am not going ns a
boodler , hut f am going to get out of these
United States , where free speech and free
press arc prohibited , and where 05.000,000
people are afraid of seven poor
little anarchists , and they lying in
jail at that. You needn't worry about
Train He will take caroof himself. [ Hero
Citizen Train quoted the telegrams men
tioned above. ] 1 could not got n hull in Now
York City. The police closed foiu teen halls
on mo in Chicago. The only places I could
get in. St. Louis or Kansas City were beer
saloons , nnd I can't stand bologna. I won't
talk in the street to n crowd of dead-heads.
Omaha is the only city which has treated mo
right. I was going to skip to-morrow , but
the Press club urged mo to remain. I have
not decided whether I will or not. All those
who favor my remaining say aye. [ Unani
mous voto.l The ayes have it. I will see
about it.I will not go to Chicago at any
rate. I intended going there at ono tiuio and
had made arrangements for a banquet at the
Palmer house for the wives and children of
the convicted nnarchstsbut ! that arrangement
ib off. I have been requested to say some
thing to-nisht in favor of the public library ,
nnd I will if I think of it. [ Laughter ] All
who favor a public library hay uyo. [ Every
body voted. ] Well , I will build you ono.
[ Laughter. ]
Here the speaker read n letter from an tin-
known lady who bigncd herself "your wife , "
in which the writer stated that , like Train ,
fiho was on the mountain top , and the common
herd were at its base ; that she sympathised
with the wives and children of the men who
were to bo hung. "That woman , " said Citi
zen Train , "is my wife in her mind. [ Laugh
ter and applause. ] I mean exactly what I
say. [ Henowcd laughter. ] With this letter
caino this beautiful boquet. "
Mr. Tram then devoted a half hour to the
discussion of Omaha's prosperity , the in
crease ( n the packing business , spoke of
parks , boulevards and a free bridge , and ob
tained the usual afllrmativo vote on each
proposition.
"Now , " continued the lecturer , "I cannot
check on any bank on the Missouri. You
know n lunatic cannot give anything away. I
am in favor of building a largo hotel a sort
of Windsor-Bruiiswick-Astor-Palaco build
ing , with 5,000 rooms , hero in Omaha. All
who favor that hay uyo. [ The usual voto.l
Well , I'll build it. [ Laughter. ] Why , I
built a hotel once In sixty days. "
"Well , my lecture IB finished , but I feel ns
though I hadn't talked long enough. All
who favor my talking a little longer say uyo.
JMoro aves. ] Now I can cash any intel
lectual draft on sight nnd any one that wishes
mo to speak on any subject will confer a
favor by mentioning it. "
Sotno gentleman in the nudienco suggested
the national banking bystom , whereupon
Citizen Train executed a Bcrios of his Egyp
tian hieroglyphics on the blackboard to the
great delight of his listeners buvo ono , who
insisted that the artist was in error , where-
ui > on Citucn Train rubbed out and began
over again and finally convinced the gentle
man tli.it ho ( Train ) was right. The United
States senate next received attention , and
after u lengthy argument the audience , by a
vote , decided to abolish that
body entirely. Ex-Secretary Manning was
handled for n few moments without
gloves , his recent illness denounced ns a
fraud and his trip to Europe a pretext for
getting out of a bad scrai > o brought about by
the establishment of a bank in Now York.
A very humorous discretion of un English
banquet was the next number on the pro
gramme at the conclusion of which BOIIIO ono
in the icar asked for Mr. Train's opinion of
the ChlnchO question.
"What do I think of itl Why It is out
rageous to prohibit the landing of all the
Chinese that desire to como hero. The coun
try originally belonged to them nnd why
should they bo keiit out. Tlio Chinosa popu
lated northern California ages ago ; the
Corcans Mexico , and the Japanese' Peru.
They nro n moral ratio and can excel nearly
every other nation on the fuco of the earth
in washing a shirt. They never pay the
doctor unless they are well , tlmy begin read
ing ut the bottom of the page , they bury their
dead six feet nbovo ground. When wo nro
perplexed wo scratch our heads , they never
do. [ Applause , ] Now Is there anything
else , "
A gentleman arose and stated that ho had
Just returned from prayer mooting , and do-
Blred to know If , CKUon Train had over con-
fcidcrcd tlio mutter of opening his meetings
with public prayer , to which Citizen Train
lespondcd : "I tiava followed the teachings
of n Christian grandfather for years. I
neither chow , .drink , Binoko or swear , and
they call mo crazy. [ Laughtor. ] There are
100,000 churches hi this land and a piituchor
for eycry .church. They hold service each
Sunday and during the week. I bolicro that
on an ordinary week day meeting llko lull
prnyer can bo omitted. Not that I don't bo-
ilevo In prayer. Pray all you want to , but. I
notice that when you ask for watermelon you
usually get summer squash. There Is no
hereafter deny It who can. Who says thcro
Is n to-morrow I [ No rcsiwuso.J That
settles It. "
Alter a few desultory remarks on the use
of animal food , the orgaiil/atlou of the Paris
rommuno , the French republic , capital win-
Himcnt , cto , Mr. Train bade his hearers fare
well antl stated ho believed ho would leave.
"Hoforo I go. " Bald ho , "I will taho n voto.
AH who want mo to go Bay uyo. ( Silouco.1
All who want mo to stay say nyo. [ Full voto. ]
Well , I will sco about It , and will let you
know through the papers. Good night , " and
Train's lecture was ended.
Tim Banquet.
Citizen George Francis Train , feeling qulto
Jolly , considering the news from the United
States supreme court regarding the fata of
the Chicago anarchists , led some twonty-flvo
gentlemen , representing the city municipal
ity and the press , from the main parlor of
the Pnxton to the dining room of that hos
telry , at half-past C o'clock yesterday even
ing. The long table was inviting , with Its
snowy whlto linen nnd silver and china. Ex-
Governor Saunders was accorded the place
of honor , nnd the host nnd provider of the
banquet , Citizen Train , nnd Mr. Bcchcl , president - ,
ident of the council , sat to the right and loft ,
respectively , of the governor. Among the
other gncatfl in attendance were Francis
Smith , New York ; B. F.Smith , BostonCity ;
Attorney Webster , Max Meyer , president of
the bouid of trade ; Couuellmen Lee , Ford ,
Mnnvlllo , Bnlley , Lowry , Hascall nnd Kit
chen : E. Itosowntor , nnd Messrs. Kounds ,
Morrisey. liothacker , Taylor , McDouough ,
Adolph Meyer , manager of the Grand opera
house : CroHsy , Woodbrldgo , Hlley and the
BBB representative. Each guest was pre
sented with a buttonhole bouquet , nnd in
Htrict accord with the directions of the host
to "pitch into the rations , " pitched , and did
full Justice to the bounteous and elegant ro-
pust. An hour was pleasantly passed In so
cial conversation , after which the company
broke up and thanked Mr. Train for his hos
pitality.
Citizen Train confined himself solely to
beans and boiled potatoes , explaining to his
guests that ho hud not partaken of meat or
lowl for the past fourteen years ,

Ijiist Night.
If It Is true that thcro is nothing new under
the sun in the moral and physical world , it
must certainly uo true in the world of the
stage , and especially in that department of
it which comprises what is known as the
musical "Natural Gas"
farce-comedy proba
bly deserves to bo designated ns a farce-coin-
cdy. But there ni o farco-comodles and farce-
comedies , and tills fnree-comcdy depends
mainly upon actors who find comparatively
little for themselves to do. When they do
get within reaching distances of wl't.t
they can do In the piece , it is found
to the antics of the variety order vith
scarcely any modification upon whathasbocn
given hero n hundred times. Gilbert , who IB
ono of the stars , except In n couple of snatch
es of song and a few dances , exhibited only
the same peculiarities ho did in "Crazy
Patch. " Girard's policeman's manners of
the same piece huvo simply been transferred
to this , nnd Uonnolly works hard and gener
ally succeeds in ontortnining. Amy Ames
cieates some laughter in a regular Irish
character , which Is absolutely silly , and
Hachacl Booth , save in looking pretty , has
little to do except to convince the people that
she has been out of her element over ninco
she was divorced from the "Tin Soldior. "
Tlio lady who played Daisy , in the attention
she bestowed upon certain physical
charms , so pencilled the lashes
of ono of her eyes as to glvo it
the appearance of being in enforced mourn
ing. Tlio nudicnco laughed a great deal and
compelled a number of encores.
