OATH-BOUND ANARCHISTS

The murder of Dr, Cronin of Chi cago but sli ghty lifts the veil which hides the doings of an oath bound secret society. But the childish confidence of the rank and file of it's members in its efficacy as a means of freeing Ireland from English domination Is remarkable. We have no doubt that the intelligent bosses of this reorganization know quite well that SUI oh thing as a perfectly secret society in these days of light is an impossibility, especially when the object of that society is war upon powerful nation, or system of politics with powerful supporters. Intelligent, shrcwd and plucky mon can always be found to serve as spies, from a spirit of patriotism if not for pay. Hence, the secrecy of such soci etlCs IS not secret so far as their ostensbIc opponents are concerned.
 But the oath-bound, supersttious people who get into the habit of considering the edcts of their secret committees right and proper when directed against their peoples foe, are prone to fall iutoa condition in relation to crime similar to that so aptly expressed by Pope when he wrote:
 "Vice is monster with SO foul a mien That to be Ina ted needs but to be seen; But seen too oft, familiar grows her We first endure, then pity, then em-
 brace"
 Any combination or group of men who can presume to lay murderous hands upon q citizen of the United States are an archists, and should be treated as su ch. If Dr.. Cronin had done anything against the laws of our country and any were aggrieyed, there was the same remedy open to them as to ot her citizens.
 But the ra mlticatIOns of this oath bound Clan IT a-Gaol seem to be more extensive than one who has not paid special atten tlon to it would sup pose. Detec tlvcs, policemen, law yers, capitalists, Speculators, as well as common la borers and government employees and newspaper men are connected wi tn 1t, and the quiet n- tluence of this or that scheming Header" has no doubt been felt in various direc tlonS, without any inti- nation as to its source.

sums up his idea of liberty thus;
 "Hands off is all that we ask, and let mankind do as they please at their own cost"
 Well, now, it strikes us that "mankind" do as they please at their own cost. Some individuals, however, do as they please at oth- CTS cost. See?

 Labor editors were only made to preach the gospel of truth and common sense, and to be CruCitied between the rich on one side and the poor on the other.-PaterSon LabOr Standard.
 If they honestly preach truth and common sense they will bear such "crucitixion" without whining. The "squealers" usually try to serve two masters or more, and the result Is that they are used by one and they are despised by both.
 The Albany Press and Knicker- becker, referring to the members of the Nationalist Clubs, says;
 That the originators of the new agi- tation are still somewhat averse to be- ing dubbed Socialists is shown by the name they have assumed although the doctrines promulgated are nothing more nor less than German State Socialism the distinction, if any, being one with out a difference.
 If this thing goes on, our friends might as well face the music and call themselves Socialists.
 MT. Pentecost claims to print letter from the Socialist headuuar. ters in New York, and says that therefore 1t is authoritative. He makes miSta ke there. Only such matters as have passed the ordeal of a general vote of the Socialist Party are authoritative, so far as the So- cialist Party is concerned. The Platform of the Party is authorita- tive. The Socialists have never set the seal of their authority upon any letter to Mir. Pentecost.
 Do we hear of any editor of labor newspapers being appointed to foreign missions? No, my son, not yet.-BOStOn Labor Ledder.
 The editor of the Labor Leader, for instance, had to be satisfied with the ordinary fee and expenses attach ing to stump speakers when he served the "democratc' party last campaign. Had Cleveland been elected, he might have got an office of some kind or other. Labor edi- tors looking for sinecures should be careful to boom the winning wing of the capltallstic party.
 What a grand opportunity for os- tentatious as well as quiet, sef-satis- lying charity the destructive flood at Johnstown affords, A system of so- ciety which furnishes such glorious opportunities certainly cannot be wrong. Surely the gushing hearts of thousands will respond to the cry of the homeless and the orphaned. And then there remains the sweet consolation of the church. If 1t were not for critical marplots, who would apply cold, heartless science to prevent such accidents, what a harmonious and sweetly charitable people we should be, don't you know,

NAPLES IN 1850 AND 1889.


I visited Naples, exclusively for
reasons connected with the health of
my family, in the winter of lSjO-51.

1850. The change which has passed
upon the city during these tAirty-nine
years may, without e~xaggeration, be
called enormous. At the earlier epoch
the reaction which followed the abor-
tive efforts OF 1889 for national de-
liverance, was celebrating not only
its triumph but its saturnalia. Per

A RANCHMAN S RIDE.
A Race For Life in a Farm Waeon-A Panic
Stricken Ranchman.

Stricken Ranchmau.
DENVER, CJL, March 20-A race for
life attracted the attention of ranchmen
near Denver yesterday, when A. F. Stark
worth attempted to murder ranchman
by the nams of Ellis Norton. The two
men had previously had some misunder-
standing which engendered bad feelings
They lived near each other and met
frequently, but no trouble of a serious
nature was anticipated by the friends OF
either party.
Early yesterday morning Norton hitched
his team to his wagon and was driving
leisurely INTO Denver when he heard
farm wagon rapidly approaching from
behind. He looked, and thinking the noise
was caused by some ranchmen, paid no at
tention until the team, which was fast
overhauling him, was within 100 yards
Then it flashed through his mind instantly
that it was the intention of Starkworth to
meet him on the plains, and, not being
armed. he whipped up his horses to their
highest speed. His pursuer called upon
him to stop, which warning was not
needed.
An instant later q shot was fred and
the bullet whizEed alongside his head.
This spurred him to redoubled efforts
He applied his whip vigorously. Pur-
sued and pursuer raced for nearly a mile,
when Starkworth fred q second shot.
Gradually Norton's team drew away from
his enemy and dashed into town at a fear
full rate, running over dogs and every
thing that CHANGED to be in the way.
When he sighted policeman he stopped
his horses, explained the circumstances te
him. and about twenty-five minutes later
the officer perceived Starkworth driving
rapidly down the street and placed him
under arrest.
