huge fiery serpent. which stretched from
the zenith to the horizon.
Pilot Sullivan was on board of the David

the pilot could judge. The vibration caused
the pilot boat to rremble, but the sea re-

the Republic in this city to other posts

operation in protesting against the d.
verting of the soldiers monument from
its original design was not sent out un-
til the latter part of week before last,
nevertheless as far as heard from yes

the headquarters in this city resolutions
urging the monument commissioners to
remove the Objectionable figures. Con-
sidering that no posts meet oftener than
once in two weeks, and that, in most in

the response refutes the assumption
that the protest was made by a few

against the action of the commissioners
has caused as much indignation in the

REMEDIRk FOR ANARoHIsM.

The New York Herald of Friday con-
tanned an editorial entitled "Is Anarchy
to be tolerated." which sets forth the
dangers of anarchy and declares the
remedy. 1t declares that the teachings
of the Anarchists are expressly de-
signed to cause assassination and pill
laRe." No one can deny that this is
fair statement of the purpose of that
class. This being admitted, all must
agree with the Herald that there can be
no methods too vigorous to extirpate
such heresies and rid the community of
men who are organized to pillage and
assassinate, and now only await the re-
cruitlng of their organization. The Her
aid declares that there must be no
freedom of speech for such people;
that their papers and I pamphlets
must be excluded from the mails for
more cOgent reasons than have led Con-
gress to exclude the literature of the
lottery from the pOstoffice. As the laws
of many States make the possession of
burglar tools. under circumstances in
Olcatfng purpose to use them. crime,
SO the possession of the tools of assassi-
nation and list of millionaires by men
who are known to be Anarchists should
be made crime. The Herald further
declares that while it would be impos-
sible to prove an immigrant to be an
Anarchist and prevent his landing for
that cause. it ia not beyond the power
of Congress to Danish men who. after
coming here. declare themselves to be
Anarchists; that the declaration of such
beliefs as Anarchists hold and preach
should constitute the commission of a
crime, the punishment of which will be
any disposition which will place them
where they cannot do mischief.
These are positive and unusual reme-
dies. but will any intelligent person who
appreciates what anarchiem means say
that they are too vigorousf
