An Idiots Act.
For The Enquirer.


An enthusiastic partisan Is apt to pro-
test against all statements but his own;
the chief merits of statements from
others, is that they do not "contilct
with those from his side.
People of the press, pulpit and the
police of Chirago have been moved by
malice, ignorance and eelfshness, to foul
deeds and lying accounts. No fair OBJ
server will apologize for them. But who
expected ANYTHING else from them ?
1t does not follow that anyone who
condemns them all, must accept, as ex-
act all the accounts given by their VIC
tins. The latter have created the i'm
preston that some of the persecution
was for opinions sake. This | deny,
and the proof is plain. All searches
were for evidence regarding the bomb
throwing. When no evidence was found
against the person arrested he was re-
leased, though his opinions were still
known to be Anarchistic The state
ment to which | objected was not that
no known Anarchist or Socialist was
allowed to escape, but that everyone who
had ever sYmpathized with anyone who
had aught to say against the present sys
tenn, was outraged by the police. | ad-
nit every specified outrage, ard make no
apology for the police, yet such zeal
GUS statement is too sweeping to be re-
liable. 1t is equivalent to claim that
no one has aught to say against the pres
ent system except Anarchists. | think
Socialists could be found who were
known but were not arrested, Let us
have the truth, which is, think, that
tie police searched everyone suspected
of connection with the bomb, and in
doing so, acted ike the brutes tn at they
are. AS for passing upon opinions, they
do not know enough.
also protest against the conflicting
opinions of writers. Some say the bomb
was ill-timed, idiotie and a damage to
them; and that capitalists hired it
thrown. Others say it was a glorious
thing and grow eloquent in long articles
about the brave act of Chicago Socialists.
The fact is, the Chicago Socialists or An
archists did not throw the bomb, and
any inference that they did, even if &C.
companied by praise, is a link IN the
chain that holds innocent suspects in
Jail.
No one will compare them to John
Brown unless it is expected that they
will hang like John Brown. Yet have
heard of no protests against those who
make such comparisons.
1t is folly to arouse beast and com.
PLAIN of lack of fair play from the beast.
The bomb aroused the beast, and now
innocent people are in danger from the
lies and revengeful plots of the police.
Was it glorious thing?
There has never been any available
meeting ground in logic between the
Communist and the State Socialist. The
arguments of each fall fiat on the ear of
the other. But each must have a free
field, and free speech, therefore I ask
that writers cease glorlfying the act of
an idiot, at least until certain inn ocent
persons are cleared from the results O
unintended association with the idiot.

Lac Stafford denies the statement in
the GLOBE to tine effect that he was hob
nobbing with Bonanza Mackay last week.
1t seems that in 1888 they were both inter-
ested in the consolidated Virginia company
and when they had dispute about the sale
of the Mexican and Ophir mines to English
capitalists. Stafford said ''sell, but Mackay
wanted to hold on. Finally Stafford per-
versely declared that he would leave the
country before he would have anything
more to do with such thick-headed chump
as Mackay. And what is still more surprls-
ing, he did Just that thing and came to Min
neapolis where he engaged in manufactur-
ing and selling the Stafford elevator Ducket.
About six months ago he started the Man
haitian loan office. Imagine his surprise
when last Thursday stout gen.
tleman with stuhby gray mustache en-
tered his office and applied for loan. by
heavens it's Mackay," cried the astonlshed
Stafford. ''Can this be StaffordT re-
turned the bonanza king, and the two old
friends who had parted with GOODNESS few
years ago were reconciled once more, and

they approach and ask to become members
OF the White Cross society. Sometimes
they are successful. and sometimes not. 1t
is no rare thing for young man
thus approached to turn around,
face the agent, make an In
sultng reply and walk off. Those who sig
nifty their willingness to join have the
pledge then read to them, and If they still
manifest an inclination to become members
they are invited to sign their names In a
small book provided for the purpose.
This is the mlder sort of work that the
agents do. Their hard and really commend
able work is done in the vicinity OF houses
of bad character and in front OF saloons
with private rooms. Here an agent re-
mains all day, and when he sees young
man about to enter, approaches him and
urges him to think twice before taking the
step that will, in nine cases out Of ten,
finally drag him down to an untimely
fate. The young man on the point
of entering is talked to like a brother. He
is asked to think Of his own sisters and for
the sake of them to turn from his path.
If these entreaties fail to accomplish the
desired effect, argument is used. The
awful consequences of dissipation are held
up az warning and in many cases the argu-
ment proves successful. where the appeal
to the young mans better nature fails
The persons with whom the agents have
the best success are young men who are
visiting the soul-destroying places for the
first time. They are easily influenced and
generally turn away from the haunts of
vice and join the White Cross society.
Meetings are held every Sunday. and when
young men are only present, they are talked
to by physicians, who explain to them the
damage that is the wages of sin.
The White Cross society was organized
in England some years ago by Mrs.
Hopkins, lady noted for her kindness and
good deeds. She succeeded in interesting
in the work the bishop of Durham. In a
short time White Cross societies sprang up
all over England, and great good was
accomplished. Mrs. Plunkett, of New
York, was the next lady to take hold of the
work, and when she was in Minneapolis
some months ago she organized society
here, of which Henry G.. Stryker, son of
Rev. DIR. Stryker, is now president. Mrs.
Van Cleve, at whose door thousands upon
thousands of good deeds can be laid, is
deeply interested in the work, and it is safe
to say that 100 young men owe their happi-
ness to her,

sleeve white chevrons, and just above the
chevrons, a small white cross. For long
time no one knew what these young men
were there for, jand as they were often seen
to approach and engage in conversation
with strangers, speculation was rife
concerning them. They made no endeavOr
to hide from public view, but rather seemed
to invite attention. The majority of the
persons they approached were young men,
some of whom had evidently started out
for clark" 1t was noticed that one of
the young men wearing the chevrons and
white cross always took his stand on Nicol-
let avenue, near First street. Here he
would remain. day in and day out. regard
less of rain or wind. Once or twice it was
noticed that after talking to a stranger
about to make tour of the street, the
stranger would turn back and depart.
These young men wearing white chew
rons and white crosses are agents of the
Minneapolis White Cross society, and are
placed on the street to endeavor
to save young men and to protect
woman, no matter what her con-
dition or standing. Each person joining the
society pledges himself to respect all wo-
men, whether rich or poor. fortunate or un-
fortunate, handsome or hOmely, and to do
all in his power to induce other young men
to do the same. The manner in which the
agents of the society operate on the street is
interesting in the extreme, and as many
girls and young men are saved from ruin by
their efforts makes the methods used still
more so. Taking their stand on the street
they carefully observe all passers by, par
ticularly the young men. Many of these

The Sinking of the Oregon.

The pilot boat and the small boats had left
the sinking ship with heavy loads OF human
freight, having abeut one hundred persons
aboard. The steamer was settling lower each
minute the prom being much lower than the
stern, and IL seemed that each moment was TO
be the last We could a most feel the last
cOnvulsive culver preparatory to the maj
plunge. This was an exceedingly trying mo
ment. There were no life preservers, as the
heavy sea had carried them overheard. Stand
ing rather apart from the other passengers,
was a beautiful girl whose terrified face de-
picted the horrors of the fearful experience.
A tall, handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tenderly encircling her slender
waist He was evidently trying to comfort her
with hopes of rescue: but the sweet creature
saw to plainly that unless something unlocked
for should occur they would soon lie at the
bottom OF the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends. The young TEL
low was about to tell his sweetheart that they
were lost when one of the sailors raised a loud
cry, and looking over the bow of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel drifted little
nearer, all saw that II was a great sign hang
ing suspended to something, and upon the sign
were these words: Emerson holds the bridge
to help the folks over" and in Few minutes
they all stood safely upon old mother earth.
They all shook hands with "Uncle Emerson
and many of them accepted the assistance he
offered as they had lost all their effects on the
sinking ship. o.
