The tour of our distinguished ('omrados Liebknocht and Aveling has been a series of successes. The more important the cities iu which they have spoken the greater are the results. Metroit and Milwaukee had brilliant assemblages wliieli will without doubt bear fruit in good sea son. The meeting in Chicago on nth inst., however. was simply grand.

In the first place the I town is in a very ferment of .'Xcite- j ment ; a has lor months been more, or less in a siaie o; sieee ; nownere ierhaps at the present time does nartv feel in ir on all .-ides run so hiirli as here. Then, to.i. Chie.a;ro has been considered the stronghold of amiri'liisin. It is true that thi' anandiism there to-day smacks strangely of scientific Socialism. Thus, after ircachin against all or ganization, and especially against political action, wo suddenly tind these llrrni Antiirii.slni demanding oiira .a o , a n ( a i ii: I ii1. iiicuiai-; 7, , .

However, "there is mo'-" joy over one sinner that repeiiteth than over ninety and ldnc just," and if for the future anarchists are content to adopt our program and work for it their sins may be fnrgiwn them. As a matter of fact, the so-called anarchists are mi anarchi.-ts at. all. As usual, there are about one man and a half who are anarchists and who make more noise than twelve other men. As usual, too. these one and a half have behaved dis gracefully. The one paper I hat mis represented the Lii'bktiecht and the A veliugs attacked them in that pe culiarly refined and delicate fashion alTected by llerr Most and his I'ol I'ollowers, was the Chicago Arht iln y.cititnj. However, us the offender has had a very thorough heating for his behavior, we will hope that he will learn better manners lor the lu " , , , i turc. and we need say no more about, i the matter. , The Liberal League -composed of j many well-known Chicago people- had n.vite.1 the Avelings to be pros- I ent on Sunday night, and the hall where their meetings are held was ! , ' , , 1 packed, and a very pleasant, and we believe useful, hour or two were soent there. 1 r.
