The following is the text of the President's letter to Commissioner Sparks accepting his resignation: Executive Mansion, l Washington, Mot. 15, 1897, f Tfce Hon. William A. J. Sparks : Mr Dear Sib I have read your letter of resignation left with me to day, and also the communication addressed by yon to the Secretary ol the Interior, accompanying the same. In the present situation I do not feel called upon to determine the merits of the controversy "Which has arisen between the Secretary and vourseif, further than to say that my imprea snons touchiug the "legal que? tions involved in olineme to rely, as Z natural I would do, even if 1 had no impressions of my own, upon the judgment of the Secretary. 14 presents a case of interpretation where two perfectly honest men ' may well differ. The interest you Itavo shown in she operations of ttie Land Department and your zealous endeavor to save and protect the public lands for settlers In good faith, induce me to believe that you will be pleased to receive the assurance that this policy, upon which we are all agreed, will continue to be steadfastly pursued limited and controlled, however, by tlx law and the judgment of the courts, by which we may be at times unwillingly restrained, but which we cannot and ought not to resist. Idesirafio heartily acknowledge the value of your services in the improved administration of the Land Department which has been reached, and to assure you of my appreciation of the rugged and unyielding integrity which fees characterized your official conduct.

He protested thai he had done nothing to be arrested for, and his wild-eyed compositors screamed with rage, bat Most was taken awav just the same. His assistant editor, Julian Schulte, accompanied the officers and their prisoner to the District Attorney's offiee. Most protested to the District Attorney that he had done nothing to warrant his indictment, and arwore that he was being persecuted by the sninions of the law, hounded on by the hirelings of it capitalistic press, but his ravings were not listened to, eo4JMk -s hustled off to police headquarters. (f . taken in by the back door and rat in one of the cells in tLe basement; 1 Ikwerved Their fate. Ik a sennon preached in New York, last Sunday, Bev. Bobert Colly er expressed the belief that the anarchists who were hanged in Chicago had deserved their fate, and aid that the time had come to adopt heroic measures with anarchism in Amerjoa

Ah aaarchiHt shoemaker in New Haven, Conn., was hanged in effigy Friday. Sexatob Joseph B. Hawubt, of Con necticnt, was married at Philadelphia to IQss Edith Homer, one of the head nmses at the Blockley Hospital in that city. A livge number of distinguished gnauts were pcasent at the eeremouf.

Repbksentatives of the leading railroads in the East mot in Nefc York last week for the purpose of considering the feasibility of heating cars by steam. A committee was appointed to investigate the matter, and it is expected that some plan will be suggested for general adoption.

WEST. A call has been issued for a convention to be held at Aberdeen, Dakota, on December 15, for the purpose of petitioning Congress to authorize the holding of a convention to frame a constitution for a State embracing the whole Territory. A Chicago dispatch says of Mr. S. W. llawscn, the banker, who was shot by Lis step-6on in front of a church three or four Sundays ago: "His appetite is weakening, and his general condition is less comfortable. His physicians, however, are very hopeful of his ultimate recovery, though the danger from blood-poisoning and formation of abscesses can not be said to be completely at an end." A Dubuque dispatch says that a bomb was exploded in the Iowa Iron Works j that city Tuesday night. The works were running a night force, and of them some twenty were employed on a large boiler in the boiler-shop. They were startled by a sudden explosion some fifteen to twenty feet away on one side of the boiler. It made a terrible noise, which was heard in many parts of the city. The bomb, which was'picked up, was made of inch-and-a-hiilf gas-pipe about two feet long. One end was still intact, plugged no with a cap, and a hole in the pipe near it for a fuse, y he pipe was spli t into s e ver al pieces. Fortunately the explosion was all in one direction away from the men. The flooring and parts of the building were set on fire, but speedily extinguished by the men. No other damage was done. It is a miracle that there was not gi eat loss of life. It is supposed that the bomb was thrown in at an open window. Sioux City (Iowa) dispatch: "The case of the State against John Arensdorf, charged with murdering the Kev Geovgc C. Haddock on the night of Aug. 3V 1886, was called in the District Court on Monday. This is the second trial of Arensdorf on the original indictment, the jury in the first trial having disagreed on April 17. Offic sb Hexbx Smith, who has just recovered from wounds received at the Haymorket riot, had a narrow escape from death at the hands oi an anarchist on Friday last, who attempted first to choke and then to shoot him The fellow and a companion were finally lodged in prison. The Hancock Chemical Company's packing house for dynamite, near Ishpeming, Mich., blew up with frightful results on Wednesday, the 16th insh Six men were blown to atoms, no trace of the unfortunate men being found except a few small shreds of flesh. The names of tbe dead are: Willie Benaud, Charles Barkell, Thomas Thompson, Tim Crowley, William King, and WilLam Lapp. All were single young men except Lapp. The company carried 1,500 po inds or" dynamite. The explosion was felt plainly in Hancock and Houghton, several miles distant. The glycerine-house and laboratory, which stood only a short distance away, were totally wrecked Several large iron acid tanks standing several rods from the packinghouse wore blown 600 feet into the forest, where they were found twisted out of all shape. The main buildings of the coca pany lucidly encaped serious damage. Of the destroyed building nothing but splinters has yet been found. It was built of heavy beams and planks. The scenes cbout the wrecked building shortly after the explosion were heartrending. Fathers, mothers, relatives and sweethearts of killed men were on the ground, but the ghastly shreds of flesh or bone could not be distinguished. The scene in Hancock for a few minutes after the explosion was exciting. Walls were iolently looked and people poured from the buildings in alarm, thinking that the roofs were coming upon them. Women fainted, and no one could tell what the matter was. At other Hiitios and villages within a radius of twenty n iles the same scenes, though of a smaller scale, were repeated. The shock was plainly felt at L'Anse, thirty-one miles distant, Los F. Stephens, of Boonville, Mo., has been appointed receiver of the collapsed Fifth National Bank oi St. Louis. Eight Crow Indians who took part in tbe late uprising have been incarcerated at Fort Spelling. SOUTH, It has just transpired that the marriage ef Clara Louise Kellogg to Carl Strakosch took place at Elkhart, Ind., Nov. 0, the Bev. Franklin W Adams, of the M. E, Church, performing the ceremony. The groom prefers to say no more about the wedding at present. A iiiBKL suit which was instituted by

ffBev. W. M. Robinson, a Presbyterian min

ister of Morriliton, Ark., against Bev.. A. B. Winfield, editor of the Arkansas Methodit, has resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for $15,000. San Augustine (Texas) dispatch: "Intelligence has reached here from Hemphill that a fight occurred near there between a Sheriff s posse and old Willis Connors, a famous outlaw of eastern Texas, resulting in the death of Connors and his 10-year-old grandson. Connors was the father of nine sons, eight of whom have been killed during the last five years in fights with c Sic era." Extbxsivb forest fires are rajing throughout the western counties of Tennessee and the eastern counties of Arkansas. The surrounding atmosphere U so full of smoke that navigation on the MisBissippi Biver is delayed. In a political quarrel at Lexington, Kyt Thomas Green, correspondent of a Cincinnati paper, shot and killed Lew Baldwin, of NkholawiUe, Ky. The latter was the aggressor, first striking Green with a revolver and firing two shots at him.

WASHINGTON.

What is known as the drive-well patent, which has been several times before the

United States Supreme Court, and which has heretofore been sustained, has at last been declared invalid in an opinion by Jus

tice Blatchford, based upon the reoord in case No- 16 Andrews, Green and others against George Hovey, appealed from the United States Circuit

1 Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The Supreme Court holds that the fact I now made to appear tor the first time in tbe drive-well litigation, that tbe invention was uued in public at Courtiand, N. YM by others than Green, more than two year before the application for the patent was made, is a fact which is fatal to the patent's valid ty. Tbe decree of the Cir- . euit Court in favor of the alleged infringer, Hovev, is .farmed. 1 Land Commissi NiK Sparks, says a Washington telegram, on Tuesday afternoon personally delivered to the Presi

dent a letter defending his course in the Omaha " land-grant case and formally tendering his resignation. A good deal of surprise is expressed by th9 friends of Mr. Sparks at the temper of his letter. It was generally supposed that he would come back at Secretary Lamar in much the same tone in which he was attacked. Sparks' reply is a mild and moderate review of the Omaha case; a citation of the law upon which he based his action; a suggestion that it was in harmony with the policy of the administration as laid down in the Guilford-Miller case; and closes with bis compliments to the President and a formal tender of his resignation Indiana is making the strongest possible pull for the Commissionership of the General Land Office, says a Washington special. All of tbe Democratic Cougressmon from that State now hero have called to see the President in the interest of Assistant Commissioner Stockslager, who is in the lino of promotion. Sine the President has accepted Sparks' resignation, and there is no doubt that he wilt retire, the scramble for the place will ba begun with a rush. It is undertttood that, as Mr. Stockslager will naturally become the acting Commissioner, the President will be in no hurry to make an appointment, but will wait till the changes in the Cabinet take place. FOREIGN. A serious riot took place in London on Sunday, the 13th inst, growing out of the order of Sir Charles Warren prohibiting public meetings in Trafalgar Square. A crowd numbering 100,000 people assembled in the vicinity of the square, and a series of conflicts with the police ensued. About two hundred peoole and forty policemen were injured ana fifty arrests were made. A cable dispatch from Dublin says: "The city of Limerick has been proclaimed under the crimes act. Detectives tracked Mr, Cox.. M. P., to his hiding-place at Kildysart and pursued him. He escaped in a small boat, however, and took refuge on an island. Mr. Dillon has gone to Scotland, and it is thought his. object ta to escape the warrant for his arrest:. The Land Commission has reduced rents in Limerick 40 per cent H A cab.b dispatch from Canton, China, says: u The steamer Wah-Yeung has been destroyed by fire in the Canton Biver. About four hundred passengers are supposed to have been drowned. n The Shah of Persia intends to visit the principal countries of Europe next spring. The Court of Queen's Bench has quashed the verdict of the Coroner's jury in the Mitchelstown shooting affair, on the ground that the inquest was illegal, the jury irregularly impaneled, and the Coroner's conduct partial.

GENERAL.

Favobabli: trade conditions in all sections of the country are reported by R. G. Dun k Co. Provisions and grain Lave advanced, iron is stronger, footwear in in brisk demand, and cotton and woolen goods are being sold at bettor prices. The failures of the week numbered 217 against 245 the previous week, and 231 for the corresponding period in 1886. The advance in Heading Ileal way shirss and the placing of the Chesapeake and Ohio Line ia tho hands of a receiver, caused the failure of A. S. Hai:ch & Co., of New York, prominent "bear" operators in Wall street The liabilities are Jiguied at $1,000,000, but tbe assignee, H. H. Chittenden, thinks the firm will be able to par in full. This is the third time Mr. HiUch has been forced to suspend. The National Fishery Association,, in session at New York, adopted resolutions calling for protection against the importation of foreign fish, and for Buch measures as will secure to American fishermen the, same rights :in foreign ports that foreign vessels enjoy in our harbors. Detroit soecial: "Don Mi. Dickinson has accepted the Postoflke portfolio in President Cleveland's Cabinet His letter of acceptance has been forwarded to the President, and it contains but ono reservation. 1 will assume the duties, Mr. President retids the letter, 'provided the Senate shall confirm my nomination.' " A special from Racine, Wis., says: "Mrs. Margaret Engel, living in this city, claims to have been the lawful tife of Engel, the anarchist executed in Chicago last week. She says they were married in Germany a number of years ago, and same to Hacine twelve years since, where, ehe alleges, he dooerted her, going to Chicago. She sr,ys she h'ard subsequently that Engel had married again and was living in that city. She claims to have recognized the anarchist as her husband by pictures and by the published description.w The recent ruling prohibiting the writing or printing of advertisements on the wrappers of third and fourth clasei mail matter has not been modified, as some business men seem to 4hink. The Postmaster Genera! decided' to permit the use of wrappers in stock, provided the objectionable matter was crossed out, in order to prevent a loss to the purchaser, but all new wrappers must be printed in conformity to the law. A parts' of Kansas City business men is making a tour of Mexico for the purpose of studying the wants and ; resources of the country, in order that proper measures may be adopted for increasing ; the direct trade between Mexico and Kansas City. THEAN ARCH ISTS. The letter which Parsons; the anarchist, wrote, the morning of his execution was addressed to a resident of New York City, and s as follows: County Jail, Nov. 11, -8 o'clock a. m. My Dear Comrade-The guar! haw just awakened mo. I have cashed my face and rtrenk a cup ot conoe. Tho doctor asked me if I wanted Bthmilanta, I said-no. The (tear bovf, Enjjol, itcher, and Spips.

Gwd-kMr. Hail the social revolution 1 Salutations to all. A. H. Paiison. Newark (N. J.) telegram: The B.ns sian Progressive Society, composed oi! anarchists, met in the anarchist headrju alters Monday afternoon. The attendance was not large. Police were prcint, but thera was no disturbance. Victie t speeches in condemnation of the hanging of the iiLnircLi8tfl in Chicago wfvt'ra made by A. brazosky and others. T-e speakers urged opposition to thb enforcement of the iiiws. Police Captain Gloria, who was present at the meeting, wee I- bsfow a justice and entered compkiqt

ogfi'lnet Willis, the proprietor of the hail, for allowing a disorderly gathering, and a warrant will be served on him." The local labor world, sus a Chicago special, has not recovered from the effect of tbe anarchist execution An unaccountable feeling of indifference seems to pervade the numerous organizations. The hostility against the general administration of the Knights of Labor has been intensified by the events of the last week. The feeling is especially strong against Powdedy, many claiming than the failure of the Minneapolis General Convention to pass resolutions asking for clemency had a strong iniiuenco against the condemned men. Tbe mixod local, assemblies of Chicago, of which there were fully fifty a year ago, intiy bo considered a thing of the past. Those that have not withdrawn have decreased in membership to a point where existence is impossible. August Spies, Albert . Parsons, Louis Lingg, Adolph Fischer, and George Engel, the dead anarchists, were buried at Chicago on Sunday, the 13th insi It was the occasion for a large gathering of their friends and sympathizers, but the event passed off very quietly, Ths funeral procession that followed the remains to the depot was managed in Btrict conformity with the order issued by the Mayor. ' Many of the men and women in line were decorated with red ribbons, but no red fiags were visible, and there were no disorderly demonstrations of any kind. The number of people in the procession was not so great as had boen anticipated, and it was noticeable that hardly any Americans took part in the ceremonies. A Chicago paper,, describing the funeral ceremonies, says: Tb dead auarcJiiats vrera buried with omp and cersmony. Early bun day morning crowds of curious parsons gathered about the homes

I of the dead men, hut they came simply to see

ana made no demonstiacioas oi disorder. The

f urieral jnocesaion grew in size &b tha remains

of the deceased, with then friends and the attending societies, joined it. Two hours were con 1 u mod iu forming it. Nearly six thousand persons were in line, and probably thirty thou and people looked on. ' .Down town tuo pro cession, arter crossing the river at livke street, proceeded east to tifth avenue and south to tho Wisconsin Central depot at Polk Eitreet. Two hours tetore the cortege entered Fifth avenue the sidewalks aloiu that thoroughfare Wei packed from building line to curbstone. Cordons of police held book tho crowds thai gathered about the depot. A vvali of blue ooatedU officers stood at the edgo of the plat form on both sides of t ifth avenue an the i'olk Street crossing and across i;he avenue a block sou til of the depot, A picket a block north kept the crowd up-town from surging down on the depot, hoofs in the vicinity of tbe station wore coverad, the windows occupied, and the vacant lot across the street was .tilled with a ma a a of human beings. Polk street bak to the bridge and east to the railroad tracks was alive with people. Men and women stood in two inches of mcLd in the gutters and good-naturedly waited Then the procession came. Captain Buckley Whirled his club and shoutod his orders. His men, backs to the crowd, braced tlierae.elves agsiust the swelliug tide. The Defease Committee, wearing red roses with sprigs of ever grenn and bits of crape, appeared and forced their way through the crowd inside the depot. Tho five coffins were placed in a baggago car, and. the coach reeerved for the mourners was opened. The gate swung back, and a rus;h for the train was made, t iltoon cars weie Bptiediiy flllod. A train of thirteen cars had gone before, and another of fifteen coaches followed the funeral train. Throughout the six hours of forming tha procesnion, its march to the depot, the journey to the cemetery, and the ceremonies at the nepuicher, the utmost order prevailed. The 'Marseillaise" was not sung. Tho red Hug was not flaunted. No incendiary speeches wtre mule. The friends of the cloud inn burled their dead. The exercises wore simple, quiet, and solemn, The police were apparently impressed by the silent mourning, and were a& decorous toward the friends of the anarchist! as if no I'eelmg between them had e ver existed. No expres sions of malice or triumph wure heard. Everybody seemed in sympathy with the sorrowing friends and relatives 3f the dead. The throng that followed tho remains of the anarchists to the cemetery was almost wholly Gerumn in its make-up. A't t&e cemetery fifteen or tv-enty thousand people had congregated After the bodies of the dead bod been deposited in the vault four speeches were deliverecl. C3.pt. It lac It and Thoa. J. Morgan spok in English, and Hobert llei'ozel, of Detroit, and Albert Currlin, of St. Louis, spoko in German. The last npn tinned two are rank anarchists, and their remarks wore extremely bitver. Both reproached the workfogmen for permitting the death of ttheir friends, and Heitzel concluded with the following quotation from Iienvogh, familiar to all socialist speakers : "We have loved long enough 1 L,et ua at last hate!" Captain Brack's address was an eloquent tuid feeling tribute to the dead anarchists. Armed guards keep watoh day anduight oveir the vault in Waldheim Cemetery, where the bodies of Spies, Parsons, Engel, Lingg, and Fischer are now resting Bays a Chiea.jo special. They are in tke employ of the Defense Committee, and the intention, is to maintain a guard until a permanent burial-place has been secured. Friends of the executed raen. nre generally in favor of purchasing a few acreB of land adjacent to the city and reserving it for this purpose. From the character of the crowds that congregate in the old-time haunts of the anarchists and from the tone of their conversation any one not thoroughly posted would be led to supposethat the entire bioodof anarchists had suddenly become extiucf, The Sunday parade was a revelation. There were scorps and hundreds of nnareh'.sts in that parade who have not shown themselves; upon the streets or in public places sinco -the night of the Haymarket riot. There is every roason to believo that several of the oldtimu groups have been leorganizod. MARKET REPORTS,

Corouer Verdict In the Unnjf SuicideOther Anarchistic Itemu. Chicago specia'.1 The inquest oc. tho body of houiH Lingg, tbe bomb-maker, wa.s hold at tho Coroner': o'Rco onTkuraclas'. The jury found this verdict: "We find that Louis Lingg came to his death from Bhock, hemorrhage, anci fatty embolism of tie lunfts, caused by the explosion of a bomb about two lnchciii long md half an inch in diamoter, and rilled with dynamite, said bomb being exploded by his own hand with suicidal intent on Nov. 10, A. D, 1687." The question as to how Lingg obtained possession of the minaile iu as great a mi' story aa ever, The Ane.rchist Defenno Committee state that some time will be required to enable them to decide on what cemetery they wili select in which to inter the bodies of the dead anarchists. Three different offers hae been made to the committeeof sufficiently large lots in Waldheim Cemetery by the respective owners of the lots, so that the committee, iu; it claims, feels independent o:f tho cemetery authorities, who demand than the bodies, if interred there at ail, shall be buried in different parts of the cexaeterv. . Tne Defense Committee, at its next meetinsr, will consider the question of providing funds for the families of the dead and imprisoned anarchists, end also a f und for the erection of a monument over the graves of tho executed anarchists. Parsons left a letter for bis wife which has not yet been published, and will not be until it is published ps a part of the book written by Parsons, aud whoise publication is now bel&g condacte-i by Mrs. Parsons. The anarchists have great faith in the wonder-working powers of tho last words uttered by their executed co-bellevers. One of them sii.id recently: "Home of the last words of these men will io down into history aud be repeated many, mauy times " SPIES. A Sketoib of the Anarchist Kditor aiad AjfUator. August !3pes was born iu Friedwald, in the province of Hesse. Germ xny, in 185. Ho was educated b a private nitor during his earlier years, after which he Bti died at a polvtechnio institute. At the age of 16 he took up the Btudy otforestrj'. A year later he sailed for America. In tho spring of 1880 be took charge of the business management of the Arbeiter ZextunQ, shortly afterward assuming the position of editor. Spies wai well connected. His family and associates, aside from those cultivated in his revolutionary acts, are among the best people in New York, says a special from that city. They are iu no sense in sympathy with thei f kinsmau's ideas or priteipl ts; luke him they aro int&lligent and educated ; ttse y have ha;opyv pleasant homes in a few instances rioh and luxuriant homes ; families of promising children ; and all their surroundings of such a character as to mark them rather us the element with which their relation was at war. Spies was vain and hau an altitudinous opinion of hiraself. This vanity was aLso apparent in his writing, which he liberally interpolated with phrases and quotations from the Latin, Greek, and French. But with all, he was honent The influence of his p per was great at one tiin, and Spies repeatedly refused to accept bribes for the illegitimate use of tha" inline nee and countenanced do semblance of dishonesty in the expression or formation of opinions that his paper might contain. His own income from the paper never exceeded $10 per week ; he limited himself to that amount, and from it supported bis mother and younger brotherr, as well as extending frequent help to other brothers who were in business. His sister, O retch on, was at the time employed in a factory; she is now a dressmaker, and' in her turx: has provided for her mother since August's imprisonment In the face of his iiery and donunciarory editorial) a.ud manifestoes, he wa& easily affected at the sight of suffering or luood. L'pon one occs-tion, returning from the inspection of a mine dittaster, he was affected to tears while reciting the inotdouta to his associate editor. U pon a. nc ther occasion , w hen v i e wing the bodies of two girls who in terror had leaped from the sixth story of a burning building, he fainted awtiy and refused to look upon the eight ags.ln. When traveling through tho coal districts of Illinois ho gave his money n net even pawned his watch to relieve some of the starving miners, and telegraphed to his paper for means to return. Spies was a natural and combative orator, bold aud decided in his attitude, qualities that were quickly recognized by a large circle of female admirers, who naunted the ollice ind the horns and made themselves universally frequent wherever the object of their admiration charmed to be. He loudly and frequently asserted his decision never to marry. With these favorable traits of character Spies, as hit yoara increased aud bis enthusiasm reduoed itsolf to a settled policy, might have been an instrument of reform and benefit for the workinginan. It was not so long a nice when Spies looked for tho accomplishment of his purpose to purely scientific and peaceful arguments f.nd moans, and when he was in .frequent consultation and constant eonespondcoace with John Swintoo, whose policy was an entirely satisfactory ono to Spies himself.

Upon tibie occasion of the nihilist excitement in Huasin, Paul Grottkow, then an editor al writer on the Arbeiter Zcittm.j, urged that the crimes committed by those fanatics should be charged as tbe action of the police. This Spies strenuously opposed, declaring that the nihilists a I on? were guilty, it was justifiable, and they should be applauded for what they had individually done, without transferring the credit in any other direction. While claiming that communism would be the final result of the social economy he was advocating, he was consistently lenient toward miaor offenders who endeavored to anticipate their outlined millennium by appropriating that which belonged to some one else. Uut with striking inconsistency he violently opposed any attempt of his unwashed constituency to i nterfere with his personal property. One night he was awakened by the prowlingn of a burglar a 001 it his house, and grasping his revolver he gave chase t the fellow for the distance of some four blacks, perforating the air with bullets, probably to the terror of the fleeing robbUor and to the destruction of his own theories. There were unsavory incidents in the hutory of Spies' 'auiily, some of them serving to emphaalzi Augusts good points. A younger brother, la company with boys 01! his own age, hired a wagon and went into the country for a day'B reo; eation. Ou their return toward evening, they -vere attracted to an orchard by a rich display c-f ripe fruit, and while tilling their pockets, after having distended thoir stomachs, they were interrupted by the farmer, who protested against the robnery. A fxiHiliado of stones followed, one of them unfortunately striking the farmer's to tuple, aud Btretchmg him dead upon the ground. A writer on Spies' paper, do Biro as of doing as little outrage to his editor's fooiJugs as possible, in preparing an account of the inoidont, mcliued toward excuses for tho bey a, August saw tho proof before it went in the paper, crumpled it in his hand, and threw it :iuto the waste-basket, saying that he would treat the caso him so If. He did so, and excoriated the yount.r men, dema: ding their punishment, although his brother was oue of them. Tals brotnerwaa afterward shot and killed by a policeman, and August then and there vowed he would be rovenged for the shooting From that time the police were special objects of atta :k in his paper. It was t t this period an event occurred that warped Spies' future life. While he was in this partially iuiiamed opposition to the police as tbe instruments of his brother's detith. Johann Most, with his murderous teachings, came on the scene and preached in the willing oars of the young editor. The words bore their fruit, Spies listened and the tone and character of his writ it: gs underwent a radical change. The opinion of Spies upon hanging is of interest just at this time and maybe told in a few word i. A hat1 ging had takou place iu Chicago and the question - ame up in the editorial department as to th9 proper te tment it should receive. Grottkow was for doing it up in a few words, while Sjpiss argued that it was a seu9tioual
