No Anarohv For Amerioa.

The conviction of the anarchist, Emma
Goldman, at New York, for attempting
to incite riot, is vindication of the law
which she so heartily despises that will
be concurred in by the country at large.
1t makes no difference that she is wo-
man. She lost all claim to the consider
alton usually shown her sex when she be-
gan to teach murder, arson and theft
She should suffer the full penalty of the
law; and it is probable that she will. One
year at hard labor in state prison may
have the effect of increasing her respect
for American institutions; or at least of
cooling her fiery passion for blood and
dynamite.
During the woman's trial, which lasted
the better part of a week, she preserved a
defiant demeanor, frequently sneering at
the court and lawyers and otherwise ex-
pressing her contempt for law. 1t is
probable that she anticipated conviction
and that her air of bravado was assumed
for the purpose of affecting her anarch-
istic friends. She wished, and wishes, to
pose as heroine and martyr before
them. But twelve months in jail will be
likely to destroy whatever grandiose
opinion she may have of herself or her
followers may have of her. 1t is notable
that John Most, once the grand panjan-
drum of anarchists in this country, has
lapsed into comparative obscurity since
his terms in prison.
Goldman's lawyer laid especial stress
upon the constitutional guarantee of free
speech, during the trial, and pointed out
that the meeting she addressed was a
licensed one and that her speech melted
no disorder, But neither of these argu-
ments touched the point. The question
was whether or not the propagation of
anarchy should be permitted, and
whether the red flag should wave over
the ruins of law and order. And the court
decided correctly.

The Chicago Record successfully con-
troverts the assertion by would-be alarm
lists that plague of cholera may be en-
gendered and may follow the loss of life
about the delta of the Mississippi river.
The theory of the proponents ofthis idea is
that the numerous human bodies decaying
in inaccessible swampy places may breed
the disease. This conclusion is reached
because of belief that the cholera germ
is bred in the marshes of lower India,
along the Ganges, from the decaying
bodies of natives cast into the river.
Against this theory the Record says:
Undoubtedly the decaying of many
human bodies or the disintegration of any
animal matter would operate to induce
disease. But cholera has never been
definitely traced TO any first cause. And,
moreover, the conditions of the Gauges
are not repeated in the lower Mississippi.
The climatic conditions are widely diff
ferent from thoselof tropical India and the
number of human bodies vastly less than
those that are said to be committed to
the sacred river of the east"

Among the silver compromise rumors
atloat at Washington is one to the effect
that Secretary Carlisle had gone so far
as to say that if it finally became neces-
sarY to adopt compromise he would
favor provision for the suspension of
all purchases of silver until after the
bullion in the treasury had been coined
and then continue the purchase of bullion
and its coinage at the rate of not more
than s., 100000 per month until the total
silver coinage reached $500, 100000. 1t is
said the secretary does not believe a bond
issue will be necessary if the use of silver
is confined within the limits given above.
There is considerable doubt, however,
that the secretary said any such thing.
The story couldnot be traced to a fountain
head, and no repeater" or "anti-re-
pealer" had knowledge Of Mr.. Carlisle's
having made any statement with regard
to the matter.

The Tucker RepeaI Bill.

The democratic House is doing well its
duty 1t is fulfilling, in so far as it can,
the promises made to the people in the
Chicago platform and accepted by them
at the November election In a bit less
than six weeks the House has voted to
give the country both the financial and
the political relief it demands.
The passage of the Tucker repeal bill,
wiping out the federal election laws,
was foregone conclusion, consequently
it was only the expected that happened
| day before yesterday. Nevertheless the
occasion was a notable one; one to cause
rejoicing in democratic circles. For in
the repeal of the Davenport laws relic
of the reconstruction era and a menace to
free government received the first of a
series of three blows that are to kill it.
The other blows are to be delivered by
the Senate and President Cleveland.
1t was expected that the debate on the
Tucker bill would be extremely lively and
long-drawn-out. But the expectation
was not fulfilled. Over in the House
they have business-lilxe way of conduct
ing things that does not permit of spec
tacular posings and time-killing speeches
for the purpose of filibustering when the
majority has arrived at the conclusion
that it is time for action. Alleged "cour-
tesy' is discounted by brains there, and
the majority governs. Therefore, when
legitimate debate had been exhausted the
bill was passed.
During the debate the chairs were
otHy tn a tor
of the time and most of the speakers
threshed over old straw without extract
ing new kernels of wheat for the delec-
tation of the press gallery. Boutelle, of
Maine, came as near splicing the proceed
ings as any of the speakers. But his eff
fort to fire the northern heart" with
renewed hatred towards the south fell
fat. There was some perfunctOry Skin
mishing INDUCED in as a matter of course
during the debate; but when the time
came for vote the will of the people pre-
vailed without hitch or crotchet.
The future of the Tucker bill, however,
is clouded. Recent events in the Sen
ate have demonstrated the ability
of few obstructionists to hold up any
legislation that they may please, how
ever urgently demanded by the people.
The federal elections laws constitute a
leading party question, therefore it may
be expected that the republican SEN
ators will exert themselves to prevent
their repeal. And if eleven silver-state
senators can block legislation on the mon
etary question, why cannot the whole
force of republican senators talk the
Tucker bill to death2 And the same
question applies to tariff legislation, and
any and every other measure of public re-
lief that may be sent over from the
House or originate with democratic SEN
ators.
Last November the people decreed that
the Mckinley tariff, the federal elections
laws and the Sherman silver purchase
law should be killed and buried. 1t now
depends upon the Senate, with a demo-
cratic majority, to say whether or not the
will of the people shall be carried out.

AS to Youthful Loafers.

The case of Lewis Morris, the 9-year-
old colored thief, before a justice of the
peace day before yesterday, brings up
again the fact often discussed by the
MORNING NEWS, that there is in this
city and other cities throughout the
south, a numerous class of youthful loaf
ers and criminals growing up to burden
our courts with cases and fill the jails and
penitentiaries. The problem of what to
do with this class Of youths is one of
present and urgent interest. The ma
jority of these young fellows are black,
but there is a considerable sprinkling Of
white boys to be found in the same cate
CORY with them.
In this city the number of vicious young
idlers might be reduced, or at least kept
from increasing, by prohibiting loafing at
night in the streets and squares. These
night gatherings on street corners, in the
parks and in vacant lots, are schools in
which young Migrants get their elemen-
tary education in crime, and meet
ings at which older criminals
plan raids upon property, or some
thing worse. There are various chang
ing out'' places in the city at which
nightly gatherings of young white boys
are held, while in the outskirts of the
city the idle blacks congregate at and
after nightfall; and it will not be dis
puted that many thefts and robberies
have their inception at these meetings.
A house of reformation has been sug-
gested as means to the end of getting
rid of youthful Migrants. But it is doubt
full if such a scheme could be success
fully carried out in the south, because of
the cost. Those who know the black
vagrant know that he asks no more than
clothes and something to eat. Let these
be provided to him and he would never
better his condition, for he is without
ambition. And it is a fact, also, that
many blacks who are not now Migrants
would become public charges if there
were houses Of correction into which
they could get, and where it will be UNI
necessary to take thought for the NOR
row. In the northern states, where the
indolent class is not so large, institutions
of the kind are successfully carried on;
but here to attempt such thing would
be to threaten the state or local treasury.
Hence, the taking care of youthful
Migrants after the northern method is
out Of the question.
There is, however, plan of getting rid
of the young loafers that might be tried.
on a small scale as an experiment at first
They might be sent away-given free
transportation north or west Under
changed circumstances, and under more
efficient vagrancy laws than our own, they
might be influenced to grow up good citi-
zens. In the north and west transported
blacks would enter comparatively new
fields of labor, and those capable of being
influenced for good would probably have
no difficulty in obtaining an honest
livelihood.
Meanwhile, the vagrancy laws upon our
statute books should be vigorously en-
forced. Every campaign against loafers
has the result of driving out a greater or
less number of thieves.

The Same Kind of a Fool.

The republic Of Madagonia had been long
and well represented at the court of the Pata-
gascar by an officer called a Dazzle, but one
day the Madagonian parliament conferred
upon him the superior rank of dandee, writes
Ambrose Bierce in the San Francisco Ex-
amner. The next day after being appraised
of his new dignity he FASTENED to inform the
king of Patagascar.
All, yes understand, p" said the king you
have been promoted and given increased nav
and allowances. There was an appropria-
TOM
Yes, your majesty"
And you have now two heads, have you
not?n
"Oh, no, your majesty-only one, I assure
you
indeed and how many legs and armsi"
Two Of each, sire-only two Of each.n
And only one bodyT'
Just a single body, as you perceive"
Thoughtfully removing his crown and
scratching the royal head, the monarch was
silent moment and then said:
Il fancy that appropriation has been miap-
piled. You seem to be about the same kind

AS It Should Be.
From the Nebraska State Journal.

From the Nebraska State Journal.
Maud Muller on a summers morn
JerlSed the suckers from the corn
And walloped the striped bugs that flew
from the melon vines in the morning dew
her dress, though adjusted with patient care,
Was, maybe, little the worse for wear;
But her face was as fair as the ripe, red rose
Though she had few freckles upon her nose
Her father an honest and kind old law
Was out in the meadow making hay,
And trying to lift, with his brawny arm.
The mortgage that covered the dear old
farm.
Twas an uphill job and it made him swear,
For he had ten children, and dogs to spare
And the crop was large but the price was not
And the annual interest made him hot.
The judge rode by on his sway-backed horse.
And saw Maud Muller and changed his course
he was struck with her beautiful eyes and
hair,
And fell in love with her then and there.
He stopped and conversed Of the growing
crops
And the wavering price and the bucket shops,
And was quite impressed with her sterling
sense,
AS she with his classic eloauence.
He came each day and longer stayed
And offered his hand to the modest maid,
And she, in true lovers parlance versed
Requested to be a sister at first
But afterward yielded when he demurred,
submitted brief, AMI her dad coneurred;
IN so it was settled the twain should be
One and the same for eternity.
The wedding day came; twas a grand affair.
For the cream of the country was gathered
there,
And Maud was dressed like a fairy queen,
In the finest logs she had ever seen,
And the Judge was happy and so was she,
And so was the whole community.
Meantime the Muller farm seemed TO be
resh meat for the raYenouS mortgagee
But the judge, in dignided, legal way
Sought the creditor out and advanced the paw
And gave his wife father farm beside
Without the least show Of judicial pride
And said to himself as he wrote the deed
IN not see my father-in-law in need
For he gave me his daughter, and she alone
Is worth many times all the wealth own"

and Valkyrie yesterday was somewhat in
the nature of a surprise. 1t was thought
that the American boat, being Of less

day the deep Valkyrie apparently sailed
faster in a five mile breeze than did her

NAV Have to be Reformed.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch Rep)

The fact that the Senate does not settle the
ion desires it settled would not be by itself
any reason for vigorous measures of reform.
But II the Senate does not show itself to be
body in which the majority can rule, to the
extent OF bringing desired legislation to q
vote, there is need for decided measures. A
Senate in which the minority can exercise a
veto power is utterly irreconcilable with re-
publican institutions.
