THE TERROR OF EUROPE.

Globe Democrat: No wonder all the ma
lions of Europe, monarchical and republi-
can, are combined against the anarchists.
The hands of these miscreants are against
all sorts of authority, and authority OF all
kinds is compelled in self-defense to unite
against them.
Chicago Record: The incidents in BARGE
Iona, London, Marseilles and Paris snow the
European authorities that the time has come
to hit anarchy a crushing blow. 1t is a form
of crime without reason and without mercy.
II delights in manning the helpless and the
innocent along with the powerful. 1t hates
order with an insanity born of evil imagin-
ings, and its aims and aspirations are wholly
bad.
Chicago Herald: That this latest act Of
anarchy well expedite a treaty of self-de-
Tense among European governments against
the anarchists cannot be doubted. All gov
ernments agree together to protect them
selves against contagious diseases or pesti-
lence; why not against conspicuous social
crime? We nave miscreants in this country
who wreck trains and destroy innocent life,
but they do il for individual gain. the
criminals in Europe are not so Logical; they
apparently destroy for the sheer love of
destruction.
French are as prompt as the Americans to
demand "a law against it, when some
startling crime results from some abnormal
social condition. Just now they are demand
ing "a Ill" lSdluSI dudTCuy. NOL ina All
| archy has not been the season and spice OF
life in France for many years, but because
il has manifested its presence and its pos
sibillties in a manner startling enough to
astonish even the Parisians, who are used to
| riotous demonstrations. The explosion of a
bomb in the Chambe of Deputies last Satur-
day has brought forth four bills which are
designed to make anarchy not only odious
but dangerous.
Atlanta Constitution: A panic would have
been the most natural thing in the world,
but President Dupuy with unruffied calmness
called the house to order and said: Such
attempts should not disconcert the Chamber.
] invite you to continue your discussions
with calmness. When the order of the day
has been dealt with the proper authorities
VIII do their duty" The deputies caught
the spirit of their president, and after cheer
ing him resumed their seats until the body
was regularly adjourned. OF course, Dupuy
is now the hero of the hour in France. Just
such dramatic and spectacular displays of
4 audacious Indifference TO danger never fail
to capture the French, and it must be nd
mitted that in this respect they are not I'M
| like the rest of mankind.

IT IS an encouraging sign to see the
city council at last walked up to the ne
cessity Of c~urtailing unnecessary ex-
penses by the appointment Of n commit
tee to find out what employees may be
dispensed with about the city hall. The
city hail is not the only place where
supernumeraries are drawing money
from the city pay roll. 1t may seem
hard for the city to dismiss employees at
the present time, but if it decides to deal
out charity it will have to seek a more
equable distribution than is obtained by
retaining the services of a few favorites
which are not required.

= WASHINGTON. Dec. l3.-Scnators Dubois OF
Idaho and Carey of Wyoming were in tho
house a large portion of the time yesterday
laborlng with the mcmbcrs on the republican
side trying to get them TO withdraw their
opposition to the territory admission bills.
1t will be remembered that MIR. Diugley OF
Maine made the fight against Utah, and 1t
was with him the western senators con-
suited. The opposition which Mr.. Dingley
urged was the peculiar theology of the sup.
posed dominant party in titan. To THIS Sen
ator Dubois said that ne had led the light in
opposition to the Mormon church IN former
years and he was perfectly satisfied to have
Utah admitted, as the people of that terri
tory had adopted the conditions of civtliEa-
tion in regard TO their religion, which was
entirely satisfactory to all the people. Sen
ators Dubois and Carey expect that all the
territorial bills Will pass at this session.

PARTIES conducting business under
authority of licenses authorizing them
TO deal in malt and spirituous liquors
will be interested in an opinion coming
from the city attorneys office at Lincoln
holding that liquor licenses are per-
sonal permits which are not subject to
sale or transfer. The point wa raised
in C injection with a case where the
original applicant had disposed of his
business to a successor. The attorney
is of the orinion hat the only way by
which the business can be transferred is
to appoint M agent, who continues to
act in the name of the ~licensee.
This ruling has been adopted By the ex-
else b ard ut Lincoln, and of course il IL
is a correct Interpretation OF the law
there it must hold good all over the
state. This is u point which deserves
some attention from the legislature and
all who are interested in the workings
of the law. There are many reasons
why a liquor license should issue to the
place whore tho business is conducted
and run with the place with restrictions
upon its assignment, rather than TO the
person Mho happens 10 own the place at
the time the license is granted. The
case just cited shows how the law as it
now stands may give rise to inc,nvcn.
fence and injustice when attempts TO as
sign licenses are made.

Juggling with vital Interests.

CHICUUU ITIDNT1e,
The committee on ways and means has
changed from March / TO June / the time
when the Wilson tariff bill is TO 60 into
effect. This means that the democrats nave
abandoned their hope of passing their
measure prior to March /. While it is in
their power ito crowd it through the house
in short order, they are satisfied that il will
be debated at considerable length IN the
senate. The committee has been appealed
TO by importers and merchants not to have
the bill 20 into effect in March because the
result would be the ruin Of their spring bus
mess. They would rather have the new
duties 30 into force on the LIST of January
than on the day contemplated by the COM
miLtee. Perhaps for this reason, and per-
haps because Chairman Wilson thinks it
will be more OF a JOB than he anticipated to
get his bill thropghs the date has been
changed. MerchantsS pnd importers will do
very little buying, therefore, prior to June /.

SOME of our democratic contem-

the Wilson bill by alleging that it

while it was pending. What was most
repugnant to them in the law OF 1881
