THE ÆTNA POWDER COMPANY, Works: Miller, Ind., Lake County. _Manufacturers and Dealers._ Office: No. 98 Lake Street, Chicago. High Explosives and Blasting Supplies. ORDER NO. ——. _Sold to Cash._ CHICAGO, October 24, 1885. 10 lbs. No. 1, 1¼, $3.50; 100 T T caps, $1.00; 100 feet double T fuse, 75 cts.—$5.25. Paid—Ætna Powder Company, I. F. In justice to the company it should be explained that they had no knowledge of the purposes for which the material was to be used. I have already referred to the great courtesy shown Schnaubelt at the Central Station—how, when he was brought by Officer Palmer for the third time before Lieut. Shea and the Chief, he was promptly ordered released, and how he finally and hastily concluded to leave the city in order to save the detective department any further trouble on his account. It subsequently transpired that the direction he took was for the great and boundless West; but in all his wanderings he always seems to have kindly remembered his friends in Chicago for permitting him to take so extended a journey. He even wrote back to some of them, and one letter, which, was put in the possession of Officer Palmer, is especially worthy of publicity. It reads as follows: PORTLAND, OREGON. _To the Chief of Police, Chicago_—My Dear Old Jackass: Thanks to your pig-headed lieutenant, I am here sound and safe. Before this reaches you I have left here, and the only thing I regret is that we did not kill more of your blue-coated hounds. SCHNAUBELT. The following, received by Parsons and Spies, are self-explanatory: EUFAULA, April 13, 1886 _Dear Comrade Parsons_:—I have received your papers and am very much obliged for them. Glad that you like my article. I am writing now for _To-Day_, of London, and for the _Alarm_, and am going to write for _La Tribune du Peuple de Paris_. Situated as I am now, I can be of no good but by writing, and I intend to avail myself of it. You may be astonished if I tell you that I never use the word “Anarchy.” I stick to the old word “Socialism.” It can be understood and does not require any knowledge of Greek to make out its meaning. If I was to seek in the Greek language for a word to express where I stand, I would call myself an Anticrat, opposed to any kind of crazy notions, democracy as well as aristocracy. I am for individual responsibility and social action. I am for liberty, but within society, not above it, and, first of all, I am for equality of conditions. I want organization first, revolution second, social economy reorganization third, and abolition of governmental action last of all. If you could confiscate the government to-morrow, I would have no objection to use it for a while.
