A gentleman who heard the story from
he persons who saw it said "Mr. Blaine
was clearly and Enthusiastically in the
wrong lie was aware that Mr. Edmunds
vas a member of the senate committee,
and that there was every chance of his
meeting, not only Mr.. Edmunds, but
other persons who were equally obnoxious

Cor meeting them all and meeting them as
a gentleman. II would not have detract-
al from Mr.. BlaineS dignity to have ac-
cepted the prOlfered hand on the contra

must have cost the Vermont senator a

1t was no insult to him when Mr. Blaine
rejected his display of civility. 1t only

tnat merchandise, If purchased, cannot be

that the anarchist mob is in actual

ouch is not the case The city is

the police are not looking for strangers,
they know whom they want. There is not

houses are open and have full compile

THE sEDITIOUs CITIZEN.

The seditious citizen is the most danger
GUS and revolving pest to human society, as
he is a foe to the public peace and virtue.
He glories in the billows of popular fanati-
cism and with insane fury foments violence
and grasps at unlawful power. Reason.
argument and peaceful remonstrance are
thrown away upon him. Domestic fury
and fierce civil strife are his element.
There is only one way to deal with him, and
that is to suppress him with the power
of law. The communist and the socialist
are the authors of sedition. With the
sweet sound of liberty on his polluted
tongue the agitator of socialism seeks to
inaugurate scenes of deeper horror than
those through which Madame ROLAND
passed to the scafold, and to perpetrate a
treason in comparison with which the
treason of ARNOLD becomes commonplace
and insignificant. That is why
our laws should strictly forbid
all socalistic gatherings and sup
press the utterance of communistic
sentiments. All this twaddle about the
freedom of speech and the tolerant spirit of
American institutions is bosh when we are
face to face with scenes such as have re-
Gently been witnessed in this country.
When the officers of the law are slain by
the explosion of dynamite bombs thrown by
the hand of seditious citizens, it is about
time that we were taking steps to protect
our loyal citizens in the rights guaranteed
to them by the constitution-the right to
enjoy existence and to accumulate property.
