Loxiiox , Nov. 5. [ New York Ilorul
Cable. Special to the Hni : . ] The nc\
tripplo.-iillianet ! between Germany , Austrl
and Italy takes the general public somewlui
by surprise , but In oftlciul circles cverybod
was well prepared for it. It is undcr&too
that England was not consulted in tlio mal
tor , nor was there any necessity to consul
her , ber interests not being directly concerns
One wiy or the other. No doubt Prince His
ninrck has moro than once advised her t
puisne a policy in Kgypt which would Imv
been calculated to embitter the relations be
twccen England and Franco. Had his com ;
ell been followed , England would now priui
tlcully , though not formally , bo a party toth
triple-alliance. Efforts have also buei
made on the part of Austria ti
establish moro intimate relation
with Kngiiind , especially Just before Lor
Randolph Churchill's resignation last yea
What went on ubout that time may never h
fully known to the public , but it is ccrtai
that intrigue was rife mid that , England wn
very nearly being drawn into dangerous ei
tanglcmcnts. Since then Lord Salisbury hn
fdilflcd his course , reverting moro to the Pa
merstoiiian policy , cultivating u. good undo :
standing with Franco mid leaving the Go
man powers to settle tlieir own policy. Tl
mutual concessions in reference to the Siu
canal and the New Hebrides came as kind c
formal announcements to tlio new cnteiit
cordiale , and Prince Hisimirok , who 1ms sec
whither things were drifting , has hesitate
no longer In playing his hist card and th
Is Intended as a serious cheek to Russia si
well IIH a warning to France. Tlio Mcditc
raneaii comes within the scope of the , treat
mid this project of turning that sea into
ItiiHslun lake must once more bo postpone )
Tlio triple alliance can act only and bo r
gurdcd as a sort of decree binding Russia an
France to keep the peace. England takes
coolly , but even she might not be beyond 11
reach of UK inlluence if 'renewed troub
broke out in Kgypt. They could bo vet
easily stirred up at any time , ns it would in
bo dlfticult to inuko England responsible fi
their existence and continuance. In sue
n case , confronted by iv triple alliance , Eni
land would bo driven to net with Franco.
The great object of most statesmen heifer
for years past has been to keep out of Eur
liean complications. Lord Salisbury has u
questionably worked towards the same cm
especially of late , but the train laid by Prim
Hismnrck may yet lead to results which fein
in England expect. At any rate the govcr
inent hero will have something to watch b
hides the progress of tlio insurrection of Ir
hind. It means to huvo no more scssloi
wivcu up exclusively to Irish alTuhs. Mm
will ask how that can be prevented under tl
present rulesof the house of commons. Tin
1ms formed the subject of many dcliber
tlons and the government believes th
the solution of tlio difficulty is for tl
rules to bo altered , and if nocc
Miry Mill greater changes bo inslsU
on in order that the contract of the popuU
branch of the IcgUlaturo may bo recoverc
for the business of the nation , The union !
party will stand nearly solid in demanding i
supporting these reforms within the boil !
HCSBlous. Experience has convinced tl
government that it wuuld bo useless to mo
Parnoll again without some new weapon
their hands. Tlio Irish party lias taken i
the very clear line , "No business for nnyboi
until lionTo rule is conceded. " Hcforetl
next session opens the ministry will causa
to bo announced at the usual meeting of tl
Cotton club , if not bcfuro , that , they , to
have a line they moan
pursue nnd upon its success they w !
stake tlieir existence. As the probable u
shot of thcso trials of strength It must not 1
forgotten that the ministry can command
majority of over ono hundred and that tl
doubtful liberal unionists are believed not
exceed half u do/.cn. No party desires nether
other general election , not even the Purno
itcs , for that costs largo sums and two ok
tlons in eight months left the funds very la
Indejd. It is easy for platform orators
talk about forcing llio government to dlssol
tion , but it is not so easy to tell how it in
bo done.

Tlioro have been whispers that a prosoni

Ion , aud that several other Kngllsh irnnbc
Will have to nnsvvr for their conduct. T
foe Hun Is growing that condemned porso
should not bo forced to wear prison clothi
nnd associate with convicts. .Strong ropi
have l-ccn made to tl.c KIA-CI
mcnt on this subject. I believe no final de
cision has yet been arrived at.
Since the secession of Dr. Newman from
the English church no event has caused
such a piofound sensation In the religious
world as Mr. Spurgeon's withdrawal from
the Hnptlst union. 1 gave you nn early In
timation of this great shock to the nonconformist
formist body. The effect surpasses unythlng
vlilch was anticipated. Nothing else is
dkcd of In dissenting circles. The whole of
Burgeon's ' church will not withdraw from
lie union nnd other churches will follow.
Smno condemn Mr. Spurgcon on the ground
f what they call his narrow-minded views
ml of the scandal he Is bringing upon the
Japtist community , but , so fur as very care-
til inquiries enable me to Judge , the majority
.prove. Spurpron's conduct nnd hold that

Calvanlsm Is a strict creed , but
hose who profess It should bo true to its
principles mid not open the doors of com-
'minion wide enough to receive all sects mid
even free thinkers. Such is Mr. Spurgcon's
.insltion , mid nothing will turn him from Jt.
The leaders of the union lire thrown into
utter consternation. The Haptist newspapers
ure all at logger heads. Only Spurgcon's own
01 gun , called Sword aud Trowel , is calm , col'
: ectcd and conlldeut. The reverberations ol
his explosion will be heard in all parts of
ho civill/cd world.

is red saving a portion of the head. 3:45 p.

begins to whiten ; operation scorns finished ;
llring is continued to same degree up to 4 p.
m. to obtain more thorough reduction ; after
4 o'clock no moro wood is put in furnace " ;
dumper closed two-thirds to concentrate"
heat and at 4:20 : p. m. the pinto is drawn out.
The body is completely consumed. No traces
of brown or yellow spots. The ashes arc
quite white and weigti 2 kilometres SO grains.
The amount of wood consumed for incinera

aged emperors are not superior to nil tlio law
of nature. On Tuesday the Herlin hours
was for an hour dangerously near n panic. A
Ingenious speculator , for whoso Idcntillcutio
2,000 marks nro now offered , sent out wun
Ings to the principal brokers that the kaiser'
death was hourly to be expected. Quotation
began to drop and for a while It looked a
though the bottom of the stock exchange 1m
dropped out , Prices were hold up by th
sides only. Fortunately , as luck would hav
it , the llrst real improvement in the en
peror's condition wns announced that afloi
noon , so that the bourse recovered from It
fright. Since then the kaiser has slowly n
covered. His bladder pains have been wors
than usual , complicated by rheumatism. Eac
attack of this tyjns exhausts the emperor mor
and moro and leaves him less able to cndur
its repetition , but at this time ho seems snfel
past danger. Barring another bit of such reel
lessness as the Stettin trip or the Wernigei

The continual trouble on the Husso-'Jer-
nan frontiers begins to attract seriousV.tlcn-
Jon. The incidents fero much like tluso on
the Franco-Russian frontier.
The returns of the 'excited ' Catholic clergy
is causing nil through Prussia a considerable
amount of ill feeling. The first result of this
s to give nn Impetus to the movement in the
Prussian stnto looking- toward disestablish-
ncnt of this stnto church. Regarding the re-
urn of the monks nnd nuns , I saw recently
. 'robst , n prominent churchman , who said
.hat the number of returning clergy has been
greatly exaggerated. Many of those driven
from Prussia by the ructterkuinpf have set
tled permanently 'n ' their new homes. These
of the clergy , for instance , who went to
America will , ns a rule , stay there. From
Holland many will return , but como slowly
and in such a way ns to give the least of
fense , Many cloisters will bo refilled only
with the recruits of n new generation. Ho
( Proust ) expressed strongly the opinion that
he Catholic church hoabccn greatly strength
ened , although Prussia , by the struggle , us
ic claims Is shown by the great mini-
tier of new Catholic churches now being
built for cloister llfo. Ho predicts a notable
revival all through Prussia. Ho thinks this
Is the best means of combatting the worldly
spirit of the times. Neither Probst himself
or his aides could tell mo the number of clergy
who have so far returned to Prussia. Frei-
herr von Hammcrstcln , editor of the strong
conservative protcstaut organ , the Kreuz
Xeitung , has been ono of tlio strongest nnd
most influential champions of Protestant dis-
cstabliscmcnt. I went , therefore , to him to
nsk why his church seeks separation from the
Prussian government. Ho said : "At pres
ent twenty million Protestants received from
the Prussian government about one-fourth
less money per year than Is granted to ten
million Catholics. Furthermore , the Catho
lics receive their money , say. two million
marks , absolutely without the possibility ol
parliamentary haggling or interference. We ,
on the other hand , must go each year to a
parliament composed partly of Jews , Catho
lies nnd atheists , nil of whom have n vote in
deciding how much the Protestants shall
receive and how inucti- money shall bo ex
pended. Our church is also , in part , con
trolled by a minister who is responsible tn
this same parliament. What we ask is mere
ly equality with Catholiesl or equal money
granted according to our numbers ; a perpet
ual grant like tha Catholic grant , not the
subject of the parliament's interfer
ence. During the Napoleonic
wars , the churcV income , equal ,
according to present , values to four to
5,000,000 marks wascojjfiscatcd. Rcimbursal
was promised , was evci taken into considera
tion by Frederick Williclm IV. AVe do not
nsk that the capital bo returned , but merely
that interest bo given us as our right instead
of , as nt present , a third ouly of the amount
duo us , doled out annually by parliament.
Our prospects are improving very fast. Na
turally the danger caused by the Catholic
victory stimulated the desire for disestab
lishment. Five provincial synods have al
ready petitioned the king for freedom. The
three remaining synods will soon present
similar petitions. Within twenty-three yours
we will gain our point. The church will be
exclusively controlled by a council appointed
by the king ns chief bishop out of a numbci
of church dignitaries selected by the provin
cial synod. It will then be no longer possible
that the practical head of the Protestant
church shall be n Jew or Catholic. "
"It is curious to sco strong conservative ?
attempting to limit the dower of the king. "
"Ah , but you are in error thinking this i ;
our object. On the contrary wo wish tc
relieve the king from an improper parliamen
tary usurpation of power. Wo wish to be
come again , in fact ns always in theory , chic :
bishop of Prussia free from all restraint o
parliament. "
In talking over this subject one prcsen
said to me , "ICulturkumpf failed because so
cial democrats sprang-up wherever the Catho
lie church was driven out. Furthermore
the Catholic party in the reichstag bccami
exceedingly troublesome. Hismarck prefer !
Catholicism to socialism , and since , Catholic
ism must bo permitted finds it easier to den
with the pope than the Catholic party. Ii
fact ho will now govern the Catholics througl
the pope or force them to rebel against tin
l > ope. "
Herlin musical circles have had enough ti
gossip about this week. First came n row ii
the Royal opera house , in which Dlrecto
Von Strauso spoke his mind publicly am
plainly to his chief intcndiint , Graf Hoch
berg , on the strength of a bit of paper neci
dentally picked up. The dirccto
gave the intcndant the lie am
was naturally nt . once suspended
Public Interest in the matter isallthcgreutc
because the Herlin opera has been of hit
seriously crippled by either favoritism or in
efficient management. Out of this discon
Herlinors hope will como bettor urns't
that the capital of tbo empire shall not an ,
longer bo notoriously Inferior in itsoj. rte
to any one of half n do/en German towns
The general opinion seems' to bo that Vo
Strause will lose his place , but there is ills
a strong feeling that it should not stop here
Some reform Is demanded which shall pn
vent Intrigues which { his scandal brought t
light , or which shall at least make it impo ;
siblo for Intrigues to' force Hcrlln to accej :
indifferent opera whore it might an
should have the best. As if to cmplmsiz
the necessity for better munagemcn
wo had hero Monday-us a guest at the opcr
house Signer Goetz. Herlin went craz ,
about him. Scuts were not to bo had nt an
price. The house , instead of dozing throng
the singing , as Is the rule hero of late , wa
wild with enthusiasm nnd behaved ver ,
much like starving people nt the sight o
food. H was for Uorlin humiliating to so
the quick recognition of Cologne's music.i
superiority , As ono musical enthusiast sal' '
to mo : "For once opera-going In Herlin Is
pleasure instead of a duty. " On Tuesday a
the Philharmonic was given Wagner's earl ;
symphonycoinposcd in IStt.but not pcrf orina
for ubout fifty years. Unusual interest wa
felt in it becausu Wagner himself got th
partstogether to bo performed on his wife'
birthday , but died before the performance
Aftyr hearing the symphony 1 found the gen
eral agreement of critics'was that there wer
indications that Wagner's latter style
especially In two or three bar * , resemble
Rhelngold Cnetter Daoinerung , but thn
this symphony Is not likely to be performs
moro than twice in ur.y ouo city.

A recent decision ot the Herlin court Is
of some Interest to Americans. An Amer
ican dentist who put the tltlo of doctor on
his cards was complained against under u
law forbidding graduates of foreign colleges
to bear the title of doctor in Prussia. The
court lined the dentist , with n warning to
avoid a repetition of the offense. In answer
to a question the court said the law applied
to all foreigners and ho would line oven the
crown prince's doctor , Mackenzie , If ho at
tempted to adopt the title of doctor in
Prussia.
In the Gbainlicf of Deputies.
PAUIS , Nov. C. The report of the com
mittee appointed to enquire Into the Caffarel
scandal was discussed in the chamber of
deputies to-day. M. D. Asson declared that
it was not u demand for an inquiry , but for
the prosecution of Wilson which should be
submitted to the chamber , the abuses in con
nection with the seals and stamps being
punishable by from six months to three years
Imprisonment. Hu nsked Rouvier , prime
minister , to explain the case of Wilson. M.
Rouvier in reply , said that all the documents
had been placed in the hands of the
ministers of Justice. The discussion
wns general ami closed amid great
excitement. M. Culfuvru moved that the in
quiry bo genoralnnd that it extend back as far
as May , 187" , so as to include the time of tlio
advent of the Dubroglio ministry. Rouvier
denied that politicians had leveled scandals
against President Grevy. The magistracy
was above suspicion. The president's acts
were always endorsed by n minister , there
fore the ministers were responsible for such
matters. Interpellations could be addressed
to them on mutters for which they
were responsible , but questions beyond
tlio province of parliament came within
the jurisdiction of the Judicial
powers. On these grounds ho was opposed
to tlio inquiry. Ho admitted tlio Justice of
the feeling which actuated the chamber , but
thought it was best to let matters take their
natural course. A great uproar followed his
remark , but Culfuvru's motion was llnally
adopted. Jolibcrs then said the right was
opposed to Calfavru's motion because it was
directed against the accusers rather than the
guilty. He nitido n motion , which was
adopted , that the commission bo given the
widest powers. The committee report was
then adopted.

Attorney General Hunt arrived to-daj
from Mount Vcrnon , where ho stopped or
route from Washington. He has not had tin
audience with the governor yet. The state
oftlccrs met this morning in the private oflici
of the secretary of state to transact business
which demanded their attention as com
missioncrs of state contracts , but the an
archlst question wns of such absorbing in
tercst that they found difficulty In nttendiiif
to anything else. The intensity of the inter
est manifested about the s > tnte house in th <
governor's probable action could not bi
greater. Little else is talked of. Letterslmv <
also begun to pour in upon the state officer :
asking them to persuade Governor Oglesbj
to commute the anarchists' sentences. Treas
urer Tanner has received a number of letters
tors from representative men in'the southcri
part of the state , every oncof which has bcei
emphatically in favor of hanging of the con

At tlio Jail to-day there was the usual num
ber of visitors' The lirst to present hcrsel
was Miss MuellerLingg's / sweetheart
When she entered her face was fairly radi
untwith smiles. Rushing to the barrlcadi
Which separated her from her lover , shi
opened up a newspaper which she held In he :
hands and pointed out to him something tha
was in it which caused them both to brcal
out into merry laughter. Miss Mueller wai
not allowed to hold converse with her lovoi
long undisturbed this morning , however , li
fact she was rather cut oat fron
him , his attention being demanded am
almost wholly occupied by others , win
seemed to think the business they had 01
hand was more ipiportant than the mere bill
Ing and cooing of light-hearted lovers. /
shortHimo after Miss Mueller got there Cap
tain Hlack's mysterious friend , whoso mum
is kept a close secret by everybody win
knows anything ubout It , arrived and at onci
devoted himself to an argument with Ling )
with a view of inducing him to sign the peti
tion for a commutation of tlio sentence
Lingg heard him patiently for a time am
then stopping back u pace or two from tin
barricade , with his head thrown forward li
front of him until it almost touched tlio win
screen , from his lips there poured a torren
of burning words accompanied by a swuyinf
of his body and wild gesticulating with hi
hands and arms. It was evident that the ai
gumcnt used by his would-be benefactor hut
not Very much weight with him , but on the con
trary gave him mi opportunity to cxprcs :
moro decisively than ever his determlnatioi
not to move a linger to save himself , and hi
delianco of all the law can do to him. Thei
others of the visitors tried the force of thci
influence on him but all wit li no avail , Hi
reported Unit Lingg has received letters fron
his mother and sister in Switzerland urgini
and imploring him not to sign any pctltioi
lor pardon or clemency if ho is innocent bu
rather to die a hundred deaths than do so
Still the effort to Induce htm to relent wil
not bo relaxed till the very last moment nm
the utmost pressure which , hls counsel
friends and fellow-anarchists on the outsid
will bo brought to bear on him to put hi
name on the paper. While Lingg poses u :
a dospcmto and fearless anarchist his recori
does not hour out the hitter part of the cluii
mid it is thought by those who know him bos
that there will bo no trouble about his sign
Ing a petition begging for mercy when th
time comes. On the night of the Haymarke
massacre Lingg nnd u companion were de
tailed to blow up the North Side police sU
tions and to throw bombs into the passin
patrol wagons , but although the two me
started out on their expedition well oqulppe
with bombs of Ling-g's own iminufactur
their hearts failed thorn when they ni
preached the police station nnd they bet !
wont to bed. Lingg's companion afterward
turned state's evidence.
Mrs. I'arsons was another of the llrst nrr
vals to day. She got there earlier than I
her wont , and slio brought with her a baske
of the literature which her main business I
life at present is to distribute. Her first pn
reeding on entering the jail to-day was t
supply n number of fellow-prisoners of lit
husband with copies of his uulo-biogruph ;
She sold quite a number of them. When HI
had supplied all who would buy she devote
herself to her husband , and hud a long coi
vcrsution with him in u corner away froi
any of the others. August Spies had an ui
usual number of visitors this morning. Fin
came his brother Chris and his wife with
little infant In her arms. Then his mothc
arrived nnd later on Miss V'nu/andt and the
came another young lady.
The editor of the Alarm , Parson's ol
paper , said this afternoon : "I foci certul
that three of the men , if not four of tliun
will hang. If they had all stuck togetht
none would , bccnuso they would all bo nm

three men huvo been conscientious in slgnlii

"Ho Is Is ready to dlo nnd expects to. Ho
has even bidden farewell to nil his friends. "
It was rumored this ? afternoon , but could
not bo traced to a reliable source , that Most
the notorious New York anarchist ami Justus
Schwab , an enemy of law nnd order hut n
little less deeply dyed than the Now York
lire-cater would bo In Chicago In n few days
to bid farewell to their doomed comrades.
Most and Schwab , It Is said , plnco no reliance
in the reports that the governor Is inclined to
u favorable consideration of the cases of i\6
least some of the men , mid nro making ready
to stir up the worklngnion of the country by
making an extended lecturing tour through
out tlio west. At tlio jail I'arsons professed
to bo in Ignorance of the future plans of his
New York friends but evinced no biirpriso
when Informed of tlio rumor.
Thu table set aside in the Palmer house
restaurant to-day , where Francis Train hud
Invited the wives and the children of the
condemned anarchists to dlno with him , stood
deserted at 1 o'clock. It had been nicely
spread nnd tastefully decorated under the
special orders of Citiren Train and by the
best skill of the head waiter. As the regular
dally guests arrived they contrived to obtain
seats as near this table as possible for the
snko of observing what was likely to take
place. Hut they were nil doomed to disai > -
polatment. the same as Mr. Train. Mrs. Par
sons had promised to gather the invited
guests and have them at the Palmer IIOUHO
promptly at 1 o'clock. Hut she too was dis
appointed nnd early this morning communi
cated with Mr. Train that she would bo un-
nblo to gut the company together. The bau-
ciuet was consequently postponed.
Governor OBlosliy "Will Not Talk.
SrnixnriiiMi , 111. , Nov. fi. Interest in the
anarchist case at the capital Is approaching
fever heat and every move of Governor
Ogicsby is watched with the most Intense In-
tercst. A small nrmy of newspaper correspondents -
spondents has been besieging his oftlcc , and
to them ho said to-day : "I have resolved to
say nothing about the matter. If I talked to
the Dress at all I might say something un
guardedly that I did not menu , or I might bo
misunderstood by you enterprising gentle
men , hence , with fairness to all , 1 must re
fuse to reply to any question regarding the
anarchist matter. " Tlio governor's mail to-day
was larger than it has yet been. It
was said a communication had been received
from Colonel Hubert Ingersoll in behalf of
the condemned men , but the truth of thU
could not be learned. Certain it is , however *
that n-.iiny eminent men have cither signed
the petitions or written the governor asking
clemency. On the other hand , it is said on
apparently good authority that the mails are
bringing In numerous letters and petitions
urging a rigid execution of the law on the
ground of public policy. The different kinds
of letters and petitions as soon as read
nro indexed and Hied nwny in boxes.
Tlio governor to-day had a consultation with
Attorney General Hunt , this being the llrst
interview with him since the hitter's return
from Washington. The object of the confer
ence is of course unknown , us well as its re
sult. Wiley Jones , democratic member of the
house of representatives , received a telegram
from a committee of the united labor party at
Chicago , asking him to assist them in pre
senting ii petition to Governor Oglesby Mon
day. Mr. Jones docs not yet know what ho
is expected to do and will say nothing about
the matter. _
Commutation Talk.
CHICAGO , Nov. 5. State's Attorney Grin-
ncll gave Instructions this morning to the
clerks of the criminal courts to prepare no
calendar for next week- This means there
nro to bo no courts in anticipation of the exe
cution.
Judge Frank linker , who Is now sitting in
criminal court , signed n petition for commu
tation this morning. Now that there seems
to bo a stampede in tlio direction of a com
mutation of sentence for the convicted
anarchists , it may bo well to mention what
effect it has already had in u very important
section of the community the police force.
Already a feeling akin to dismay has arisen
among tlio blue coats. A veteran officer
voiced tlio general sentiment of the force
thin morning when ho puid : "If these men
are allowed to triumph over law through the
meddlesome intervention of any people , to
save whoso lives and property wo risked our
own on that awful night of May 4. you
will find Unit tlio police force
of Chicago will never " light an
other battle with tlio Chicago anarchists.
It is very well to say it is a terrible thing
to take seven human lives , but it is not moro
terrible than the way in which they took the
lives of seven of our boys and maimed dozenn
of them .that May evening. Hut I suppose
the life pf a police officer 1st as nothing when
weighed against that of nninchists. " The
discontent , it is believed , will boon llnd some
stormy public expressions.
Letter ol' Spies , Scliwnl ) anil Flclitcn.
CIIICAOO , Nov. 5. All extraordinary com
munication. signed by Spies , Schwab nnd
Fielden , dlsawowing "aggressive forco" nnd
deploring the loss of lifo at the Hnymarket ,
was ( jlvcn out to-night for publication. It is
addressed to Governor Oglesby and It is to bo
forwarded to him with a formal petition for
clemency. The guarded wording of the
document is not , as able as its matter , particu
larly us this is the llrst expression of the
kind any of the condemned anarchists have
made. Parsons , it is understood , ui-qulcscic *
in its contents nnd will address a separate
letter of his own to the governor , embodying
the same Ideas. Lingg , Engcl and Fischer
steadfastly refuse , however , to go on record
with any hiicli declaration. The following is
the letter in full :
Governor Kichard Oglesby , Springfield ,
111. Sir : In order that the truth may bo
known by you and the public you represent
wo desire to state that wo 'never advocated
the use of force except In case of self-de
fense. To accuse us of having attempted to
overthrow law and government on May 4 ,
ISM ) , or at any other time is as false as it 1st
abused. Whatever wo sild : or did was said
and done publicly. Wo have never con
spired or plotted to commit an unlawful act.
Wliile WD attacked the present social ar
rangements in writing and upvcch and nx-
posed their iniquities , wo huvo never con
sciously broken any laws. So far from hav
ing planned thu killing of anybody at the
Haymarket , or unywhero else , the
very object of the meeting was to
protest against the commission of murder.
Wo believe It to bo our duty im the friends ol
labor and liberty to oppose any other lisa ot
force than is necessary In defense of sacrcil
rights against unlawful attacks. All our
efforts have been In the direction of elevating
mankind and to remove us much as posslblo
the cause of crime In society , Our labor wns
unseltlsh. No motives of personal gain or
ambition prompted us. Thousands and thous
ands will bear testimony to this. Wo may
have erred at times In our Judgment yes wo
may have "loved mankind not wisely , but
too well. " If in the excitement of propagat
ing our views wo. worn led Into expressions
which caused workingmen to think thub
aggressive force was a proper instrument of
reform , we regret it. Wo deplore the loss ol
llfout the 1 1 ay market , us at McCormick'H ,
ut Kiibt St. Louis and at thu Chicago block
yards , Very respectfully ,
