A DEFENSE OF ANARCHY.

Mrs. Emma Goldman. the anarchist, who
has been on trial in New York for dis
orderly conduct. took the opportunity of
her trial to define her philosophy. She
explained anarchy to be the total absence
of law, and proclaimed her belief that true
liberty was the liberty TO live unrestra!ned
by law She carries the doctrines of
Proudhon and Krapotkin to an extreme.
1t is singular that an intelligent woman,
as she seems to be, does not perceive the
flaw in her reasoning. She lays down a
system of philosophy which would be per-
feet If the people to whom it was to apply
were perfect. II man were created with
out vicious propensties-without selfish
sensual, tur buient, knavsh or bloodthrsty
appetites-shere probably would be no ne
cessity for criminal code. No one would
wrong his DeighDor either in person or
property, and the avocation of policemen
and criminal courts would be gone. But
Mrs. Goldman will not say that any such
community ever existed anywhere or is
likely to exist till the millennium comes.
She will not contend that it is the laws
against crime which cause crime, because
that would be as self-evident an absurdity
as an argument that the presence of doc
tor causes smallpox.
All law is based on the proposition that,
but for the law, wrong would thrive
through impunity. The school TO which
Mrs. Goldman belongs argue that this
proposition is fallacy, and that if there
were no law mankind would not commit
wrong. How then would the criminal
impulses of the vicious minded be curbed ?
To claim that there is n o in inherently vicious
minded class is to deny the teachings of
history and the fundamental law of life.
Vice is as rooted in human nature as
virtue.
The cradle Of the anarchist school in
politics was the unequal and arbitrary
body of laws which grew out of popular
ignorance in Europe. Thoughtful men
perceived that a large proportion of the
laws under which they lived we're bad.
Extreme and impetuous natures jumped
to the conclusion that all laws were bad
and that people would be better off with
out any. Thus the Constituent Assembly
in France, finding it hopeless task to
modify the laws so as to make them con-
form to reason, swept them all away and
tried Intellectually TO build anew from the
ground up France soon found that while
| there was much that was bad and even
abominable Of the past, there was also
much which was not only good but actually
| indispen sable, and II proceeded to retrace

RADICAL ON BOTH SIDES.

The Democratic nominee for Governor
of Massachusetts is said to be radical
free-trader. He does not want any tariff,
whether for protection or revenue only.
The Republican candidate. Greenholge. is
a Mckinley tariff man. Mr.. Greenholge
was nominated over Attorney-Genera
Pillsbury aud Mayor Hart, both of
whom are conservative on tariff questions.
The present Governor, William L. Rus
sell, is free raw.material tariff man. 1t
was he who persuaded Massachusetts
manufacturers that with free raw material
and duties on manufactured goods they
would be better off than under the present
tariff. The present candidate, James E.
Russell, is rich and the labor of cutting of
bond coupons does not need protection.

choice of other teachers is so restricted
by competition that the election OF an In
competent seems almost impossible. 1t
may, perhaps. be well to remind school
principals that as body they do not stand
high in the estimation of the public as
judges OF the competence Of school
teachers. So many cases have occurred
OF good teachers falling under the dis
pleasure of their principal that the rule is
nearly If not quite established that the
average principals test of qualifications is
based on personal feeling. 1t has been
demonstrated time and again that a good
teacher under one principal would be re-
ported as bad one under another. The
selection of schoolteachers in the past has
been conducted on indefensible methods.
but it is unjust to a board which has
effected reforms to intimate that no better
results are possible in the future.

AN INDEPENDENT FIRM.
1t Does Not Want the City Fathers
Trade.

Some days ago George B. Somers. police
surgeon in charge of the Receiving Hos
pital, found that he was short OF straps
for his surgery. He applied to the Health
and Police Committee of the Board OF Su-
pervisors. and Chairman Kennedy made
out an order for S15 worth OF new straps
on j. c. johnson s. Co., the harness.
makers of Battery and Market streets.
The straps did not come, and yesterday
morning DR.. Somers went down TO John-
son & co. to ask about them. he Inter,
viewed the firms bookkeeper, VINO SAID
that no order had arrived. Dr. Somers
explained, and then the bookkeeper spoke
up as follows: ;.
"Well. anyway, DR.. Somers, we don,s
care much about The order. we don
care about such custom. We have now
claim of $1,000 against the Fire Depart
menr. and in trying to get our money we
have already expended S55 in attorneys
fees.a There is no profit for MS In sucn
business as that, and we would much pre-
fer that the city should patronize us no
more"
DR.. Somers returned slowly to the Re-
ceiving Hospital, musing deeply.

Protest Against Change of Grade.

The San Francisco and San Mateo Rail-
way Company has filed protest with
the Street Committee of the Board of Su-
peryisors against the proposed change of
grade on San Jose road and Umatilla
street, and also at the intersection of the
same road and Mount Vernon avenue.
The company states in its protest that
the tracks are already laid 10 the official
grade. and that the change would necessi-
:ate its being lowered eight feer, and
increase the per cent of grade for the rest
of the street. and thus increase the danger
of accident. 1t would further REQUIRE the
construction of a new bridge, and during
this time the people residing in Ocean
View and some six miles beyond would be
cut off of this means of communication

INCOMPETENT scHooLTEAcHERs

The principal of one of our public
schools declares it nearly impossible to
procure the dismissal of an incompetent
teacher. This assertion would be received
with some degree of complacency if 1t had
not been accompanied with the assurance
that. if an incompetent teacher is by
chance removed, the successor is pretty
sure to be as bad. Under the present
rules Of the Board of School Directors the
latter assertion cannot be true. There are
six teachers each year secured from the
Normal School graduating class. The

THE HARRIS COMPROMISE.

As 1t stands the Harris compromise is
about of the character of the terms of
surrender which General Grant offered to
General Lee. Whether or not General
Grant refused to take General Lees sword,
it Is matter of record that the essentials
of a surrender were no. omitted. The
compromise provides for the continued
use of silver as money. When all the sill
yer on hand is coined the Government will
resume the purchase of silver. The third
section of the bill provides for the redemp-
tion Of all paper notes or certificates of
less denomination than $40. and the fourth
for the calling in of all gold coin of less
than that denomination. The fifth sec
tion provides for paper currency OF
smaller denominations, such currency to
be redeema BILE in silver.
When Wall street RECEIVERS from the
demoralzation of defeat an effort will be
made to authorize the issue of gold bonds
to provide gold for the payment OF inter-
est on the public debt. 1t Is quite proba-
BILE that silver men will not make vlgor-
Gus stand in opposition to such pr0vis-
ion. II was left out of the original bill
that there might be something granted in
the way Of compromise without jeopar-
diZing the future use of silver.

The last of the races between the Vigi-
liant and the Valkyrie is now over, and the
latter has to succumb to defeat. She is
unQuestonably not so good yacht as the
Vigilant in any weather. On the frs.
occasion the wind was light; On the second
it was between twenty and thirty miles an
hour, and yesterday it was almost gale,
being from thirty miles an hour upward.
The Valkyrie therefore had the weather
lust as Lord Dunraven might have prayed
for it, and yet his yacht is beaten at the
finish. That the Vakyrie had a chance on
this occasion is, however, clear from the
fact that she was first round the stakeboat,
but thereafter the Vgilant gained steadily.
Tne contest is over to the satisfaction of
everybody on this side OF the Atlantic,
and its lessons will do yachting men good
on the other side. They have been CON-
pelled to approximate closely to American
designs, and they will have to initiate us a
little more. The Valkyrie has the merit of
being the fastest British yacht which has
paid US visit.
Praise of our viticultural progress is
already heard from the French Commits
soner, who is, on behalf of the French
Government, making tour of our vine
yards. He is no doubt astopished at the
fruit, and may conclude that had we the
skill of the French in handling wine from
the first to the final processes We should
take an inconveniently strong position in
Europe. At present he will probably find
much wine which, in skilful French
hands, would undergo Improvement by
blending. To that extent trade may spring
up with France. In wine-making IL will
be found more and more desirable to send
those who intend to enter the business to
France and other countries to learn the
methods there in use. Some OF our
growers have this experience. and they
cannot have too much of 1t. TreaiiSes
and books and college lectures are admir-
able in their way, but they do not take
the place of practical knowledge and per-
sonal teaching.
Rather a neat thing on evolution has
been uttered by the Duke of Argyle in re-
ply TO Burden Sanderson's address on BIZ
ology before the British Association for
the Promotion of Science. Why, asks the
Duke, are illustrations brought forward in
favor OF natural selections when they as
siss an animal to prolong its existence, and
why are other conditions ignored which
tend to an animals own destruction
Why, for instance, do they not all develop
flesh rapellent to the taste. and nauseous
to eat? The OK. the sheep and the pig are
obviously standing in their own light in
developing toothsOme meat. and, il 1t be
objected that these are domestic animals,

hare. rabbits and birds. which are just as
