Dr. McInerney, the second supposed victim of the Clan-na- Gael,
has not made his appearance, and is now alleged to be travelling for the benefit of his health. His continued silence gravely increases the suspicion that he has been made away with. Burke, the man suspected of hiring the house in which Dr. Cronin was murdered, has been identified as the hirer, and will be forthwith extradited; but there is some sus- picion abroad as to the kind of justice current in Chicago. The New York Herald asks "whether the Clan-na-Gael runs that city," and the Chicago Citizens' Association, a kind of
Vigilance Committee for watching the Courts, has held a. session and decided that large funds must be raised for the prosecution. The fair fame of the city, they say, is in danger. They evidently expect the Courts to interpose obstacles to justice ; but the search for the guilty is vigorous, and extends to the men who have been finding money for Burke's defence. Chicago, it must not be forgotten, is to an extraordinary extent a German and Irish rather than American city.
