CHICAGO, June 26--The threatened
strike to enforce the boycott OF Pullman
cars was Inaugurated at o'clock tonight
when the American Railway Union or-
dered the Illinois Central men out. The
switchmen were the first to obey, and
quietly walked out, tying up the subur-
ban, as we'll as the express train service.
The o'clock train for st. Louis was al
lowed to pull out, as it was made up be
fore the boycott went into effect, but that
train, the men asserted, was the last that
would be allowed to go until the Pullman
strike was settled. Two trains on the
Illinois Central, that were tied up at
Grand crossing, south of the city, were
run out by an employe under police pro-
lection. A crowd of 1000 strikers and
their friends gathered about the station
and an extra detail of police was called
to protect the switchman. A largely at
tended meeting of railroad men was held
tonight, at which it. was decided by the
switchmen, car inspectors and brakee
mems unions to announce to their en-
p!eyers tomorrow that no more Pullman
cars will be handled until the boycott is
declared off The union men are quiet,
but apparently determined, to mai, to
maintain the boycott. The strike, it was
asserted by an American Railway Union

ANARCHY Us. LIBERTY.

The murder of President Carnot of
France has caused thrill of horror to
psss over the entire civilized world at
the brutality of the act, and all liberty
loving people deplore the death of
such man at the hand of an assassin.
Viewed in any light possible the deed
was cowardly and most malicious, and
cannot be excused or palliated. Ii the
act was the elimination of plot, 1t
must have been blind hatred that
melted it against this man of all others
and not desire of greater freedom for
mankind. The French republic has
made great strides towards perfect
government, and the executive who
now lies dead was patriotically devoted
to the betterment of the condition of
the people. Free institutions has lost
a steadfast friend in President Carnot,
and Santos dagger made vacancy
among the rulers of Europe that may
be filed by tyrant. Anarchy Is an
enemy to all forms of government,
and the presidents of republics are in
as much jeopardy as the despots of en-
pires. The spirit of hatred instilled
into the public mind by the teachings
of these enemies of mankind strikes at
any victim within reach, whether he
be pure and holy or wicked and cruel.
With the growth of freedom there has
been an increase of the discontented
classes, and the descendants of serfs
are not satisfied with equal freedom
politically, but desire to tear down all
division walls in society or govera-
meut.
With such conditions prevailing in
an advanced stage of civilization one
is almost forced to the conclusion that
equal rights to all is simply license
to the vicious and increases the dan
gers surrounding the virtuous. The
safer plan to follow would be to
restrict liberty to those who
fully understand its benefits, and are
willing for the sake of the well-belng
of society to restrain all desires and
passions within certain limits. The
anarchist and socialist are no more en-
titled to freedom than the murderer
and robber, and all these classes should
be reduced to absolute subsection to
the better elements of society. This
is the only safe rule that csn be fol-
lowed, and it will carry out the object
of true philanthropy better than any
other.

adopts the initiative and referendum

Uunity the single-tax theory. If the
people are forced to wait until these

lose patience, and they will be in a
worse state after they are estab-
ished than they are now. The DIS
tressful condition of trade which we
have experienced for the past two
years has been caused by the Demo-

Populism, socialism and anarchy will

solid principles of the Republican
party can alone restore US to sure
footing.

ANAROHY'S SPAWN.

The assassination of President Car
not of France in the city of Lyons
Sunday night, has no political signifi-
cance, as the act was committed by
foreigner, who could bave bad little
interest in the present or any form of
government for that country. Neither
is there auy evidence that it was the
consummation of any nihilistic plot
for the destruction of established
authority. There may be further de-
velopnents On the trial of the mur-
derer; but at first blush it appears to
have been done by what is termed on
this side of the Atlantic "crank,"
class who are very susceptible to pre-
vailing agitations, and whose suscepti-
bilities generally excite devilish ma
liciousness. The perturbed state of
public feeling at the close of the civil
war caused Wilkes Booth to take the
life of the good Lincoln; Guiteau's
pistol shot at Garfield was the effect of
the prevailing political excitement
about "bossism" and "machine rule"
and President Carnot's life was sacri-
feed to the hatred engendered in the
public mind by the teachings of the
bomb-throwers Of Paris and Madrid.
Italians are very crafty in disposition,
and for centuries some of them haYe
excelled as assassins by reason of
their subtlety, treachery, cruelty and
use of the stiletto. IL the mur-
der of Carnot had been planned
better instrument could not
have been chosen than he who
plunged his knife into the breast of
the president. All nations will con-
demn the deed as most diabolical, for
President Carnot was statesman and
a patriot, and France never had
better or abler executive since the
downfall of the empire under Napo-
leon III.

0AMPAIaN OF IRRIGATION

Certain western members of the
house of representatives, under the
inspiration and leadership of Repre-
sentative Sweet of Idaho, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, have recently
held caucus to map out plan of
campaign on the irrigation. question,
and have resolved to spare no labor to
secure action by the present congress.
Representative of thirteen western
states and territories met in Washing
ton this week and set matters in train
to secure from Speaker Crisp recogni-
tion for the presentation of an irriga-
tion bill to which the western repre-
sentatives could agree. Mr.. Crisp re-
ceived the subcommittee favorably,
but made no definite promises.
Mr.. Sweet and his co-laborers will
find that campaign of irrigation will
have to be preceded by campaign of
education. The east and south, and
more particularly the east, have no
idea of what irrigation means in the
sense in which the term is used in the
west. They do not know what arid
public lands are; first, because there
Is comparatively no arldity in their
part of the country, and second, they
have no public land. Under such
conditions it is not unnatural that. a
proposition to reclaim arid public
lands and make them cultivable should
fail to appeal to them.
The question is very simple one to
those who have had any actual knowl-
edge of arid lands. 1t is only mat
ter of method and detail. There are
millionE of acres of land which lack
only water properly applied to make
them fertile, and millions of gallons of
water running to waste every year
which might be stored and
applied to purposes of irrigation.
The marriage of the water to the land
is too vast an undertaking for private
enterprise. 1t must be brought about
in some way through the aid and
cooperation of the general govern
ment, and it is for the formulation of
some practicable plan, we presume,
that Mr.. Sweet, who knows the
subject, has called this caucus.
In the system Of reclamation of arid
public lands that may be adopted,
congress should guard against the ap-
of such lands in vast
bodies. The government should create
homes, not land baronies or principal
tiles, and it is on this account that the
press of the Pacific slope have urged
tina. the United States take up the
reclamation instead of committing it
to the seversl states and territories,
some of which would find the burden
greater than they could bear. 1t is
more than possible, we think, that no
effective irrigation work will be done
by the present congress, but at any
rate the seed will be sown, and before
long the demand for new lands will
become so general that congress will
be compelled, by force of public
opinion, to turn its attention to the
reclamation and irrigation of the arid
public lands.

TWO EVILS.
footing.

The recent assassination in France
and the rejoicing of anarchists in this
country over the dlabolical deed en-
phasizes the Importance of something
being done regarding the immigration
and naturalization laws now in force.
1t is fact that nearly all those who
follow the teachings of Herr Most are
of foreign birth, ano they are generally
of that undesirable class of subjects of
which every country desire to be rid.
Anarchists and socialists receive little
consideration in Europe, and are held
in detestation by their own country.
men. If they enjoyed the same i'm
munity on the other side of the Allan,
tic as on this, they would never have
emigrated from their native land; but
for many years the United States has
been the asylum in which these politi-
cal NAL contents expect to sow the
seeds of destruction and revolution.
Their teachings have borne fruit in the
Haymarket massacre, and harvest
may be anticipated in the future with
out something is done to curtail their
power and stop them spreading broad
cast their malicious doctrines. During
the present period of business stagna-
ton and financial depression the public
mind is more liable to be influenced by
anarchistic or socialistie ideas than
during eras of prosperity, and as the
danger becomes more imminent the
remedy should be applied as quickly
as possible. The malicious bravado
uttered by Most in reference to the
death of President Carhot will have no
effect upon the better elements of
society; but it may nerve the
vicious and needy to desperate acts.
The anarchists now in this country
are more than are desirable for good
government and the peace and happi-
ness of the people, and the gates
should be tightly closed against any
more coming. Laws against the
immigration of any of these classes
from the old countries should be passed
and rigidly enforced, and the natural
ization of foreigners should only be
made after long residence
and evidence of thorough
kno Wedge of and sympathy with free
institutions. If politicians could not
use the refuse elements they would ex
ercise llttletoleration towards hem; but
while their votes are counted the same
as others they will have the same at
traction for ofice-se ekers. Emigration
can be restricted, and, when it is
known that they cannot enjoy equal
rights in this eountry anarchists, COM
munlsts and socialists will not look
towards America with such longing
eyes. While naturalization follows
close upon emigration political in
fuence may be exerted to keep the
gates wide open to all who seek ad-
mission; but when citizenship becomes
a privilege to be acquired after long
years of residence, politicians will no.
be SO eager to increase the population
by every means possible.
