The recent evidences of the dam
gerous lawlessness Of the anarchists
and socialist in Chicago, have called
forth the views OF public men and of
the newspapers on the propriety Of
further restrictions on emigration -
Laws are now in existence which
forbid the landing of paupers and 9TH
er persons who must obviously be-
come burden upon the charities of
the people. But the pauper class
considered with reference to their
poverty oBly are not as dangerous to
the peace and prosperity of the coun-
try as the able-bodisd Anarchists
who come here to SOW the seeds of
discomfort and sedition. 1t the
Government can rightfully refuse adj
mittance to the professional mendi-
cant it would assuredly be justified
in turning away from its doors the
professional assasins. The man who
comes to beg is not so much to be
dreaded as be who comes to burn,
plumber and destroy. Poverty is
not crime, but Anarchism il nothing
less than that ia spirit and purpose.
But we want neither the lazxaroni
nor the banditti, the beggars nor the
outlaws. The Government docs
right in refusing to open the gates OF
the country to the refuse Of European
warehouses; it would be equally
right in refusing the protection Of its
laws to the ignorant and brutal tribe
of Anarchists and dynamilards.
