The Reds Must Go.

W.sHINGToN. Aug. PA strong re
port favorIng the rigid exclusion and
deportation Of alien anarchists mas been
made by the committee on judiciary.
The report says: 1T is admitted on all
hands that the question is one Of very
great importance. and legislation on the
subject is called for by every considera.
tlon Of public safety. The committee is
advised that, owing to the severe legis-
lation recently adopted by France and
Italy, great many anarchists are max
ing their way to the United States. and.
as under existing laws they cannot be
denied admission to our territory. the
United States will soon be the rendez
vous Of these human monsters unless
the proposed legislation is speedily
adopted"
The report takes up the various oh,
iections made by fhe proposed measure
and disposes of each Of them. Concern
ing fhe objection that the bill is faulty
in not defining anarchy, the report says:
"As the meaning Of the word is defined
as absence Of government; state Of So
ciety where there is no law or supreme
power; state Of lawlessness; political
confusion and its meaning is well
known, it is considered unnecessary to
cucumber the act with special defini-
ton"
In conclusion the report states that
there is full executional power for the
the enactment Of the proposed law and
that there is urgeut necessity for the
immediate passage OF the bill.

ANOTHER man who was locked UP
by the Chicago police as drunkard
has been found dead in his cell, the
post-mortem discovery being made
that he was not drunk, but suffering
from a fracture of the skull. 1t is
too much to expect that policemen
should diagnose every case brought
into the station with the skill OF
educated physicians, but it is not un.
reasonable to ask that in doubtful
cases they should send for doctor.
John Marley, the latest victim OF
police obtuseness, was struck by cable
car, and the officer who took him to
the station knew it, yet he was as
sumed to be drunk and put into a
cell to sleep it off. That is the usual
proceeding, and it is very stupid
and senseless proceeding. The police
act on the theory that every person
unable to take care of himself is
drunk. That is why SO many men,
like Markey, die in police stations
when the exercise of ordinary sense
and humanity would save their lives.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEUNE of England

CHIEF JUSTICE JEUNE of England
has ruled that minister of the Cos
pei has no right to plead as a privi-
legged communication in court the
substance of a confidential communi-
cation made to him as minister by
one of his parishioners. The court
he says, not the individual, must
judge when the ends of justice re-
quire such secrets to be made public.
The position is eminently sound.
Conditions have changed since the
times when men had the right of
sanctuary in the temples, and when
the interposition of the priest often
was all that shielded an unfortunate
from assault by lawless men. In all
civilized communities the law of the
land is now supreme, and those chosen
to administer it are constituted the
sole judges of what shall be used as
evidence. To allow minister Of the
gospel to Judge for himself in such
matters is to acknowledge that by
virtue of his Office he has coordinate
authority and power with the courts
as by law established, conceding to
him privileges which are not recog-
nized by the law, and may prove
fatal to it's due administration.

POliteneSs Paws.

Il have often heard my uncle" said
the nephew of noted lawyer who
died lately, dwell upon the tact that
he owed much of his success in life
to habit Of invarable politeness,
without any element of toadyism,
which had been instilled into his
nature by the teachings of wise
mother. His first start in his pro-
fession came through an old scrub
woman who was employed about the
house where he boarded when young
man. One morning he passed out as
she was scrubbing the front steps,
and saluted her politely, as usual.
She stopped him. They tell me We
are lawyer, she said. Yes well,
I know a poor wildly woman that
wants lawyer. and if you will give
me your address I'll tell her. The
poor wildly proved to be the chief
heir to large estate in Delaware
County. My uncle became her attor-
ney and trustee of her children, re-
covered her interest in the estate and
derived good income from it's man
agement for many years. "-Philadel-

CHICAGO HERALD: From Kansas
comes a new noun-jointist The
sense in which it is used indicates
that it means one who sells intoxicat-
ing liquors contrary to law, Presum-
ably there is also a verb, to Joint,
with active and passive voices. Thus,
in Kansas, the expression, He has a
jag, would be put more euphemistic-
ally as He joints, or, preferably, He
is jointed. So, too, the condition of
the Kansas militia General who
broke up review at Leavenworth
last fall would be described as "the
jointedness of Brigadier General
Smith," and upon his return to sobri-
ETY. he would be said to be disjointed.
The new word is valuable and in
teresting addition to contemporary

TIE downfall of Erastus Vim

TIE downfall of Erastus Wiman-
which on an ex-parte statement seems
surely to impend-is to be regretted
sorely from whatever standpoint
viewed. This brilliant Canadian
seemed but few months ago to have
realized the ideal American career.
He began life at the printers case
and raised himself by sheer merit OF
his own brilliancy and address I'M
til he was one Of the most attractive,
If not commanding, figures on the
continent. He was until lately &C.
counted also one Of the wealthiest
men and his hand was felt in some
of the largest enterprises. Unlike
most of our men of business, he
found time for enterprises Of larger
import. In his way he was the most
conspicuous advocate OF commercial
union between the United States and
Canada, and whatever may be thought
of his views on that subject there is
no doubt that he contributed greatly
to the public understanding of a
question whose Importance grows
year by year. All of his enterprises
and all his views were on the same
broad scale. At one time he serious
~ proposed to quarter the superfluous
population of New York On beautiful
Staten Island, of which he then
seemed to own controlling interest
1t would appear that his faults have
been on the same astounding scale.
He stands charged with robbing his
business partner Of nearly $3.50, 900,
the money, presumably, having been
used to bolster up his multifarious
schemes. Should the charge be es-
tablished we shall have to mourn the
ruin of great career and the dis
grace of man to WHOM many had
given their undivided respect. Such
downfall is calamity to two ma
tions.

What a Street-Car Fare BUYS.

There has been a quite generally
accepted theory that when a man de-
posfts t1ve-cent piece in the out
stretched palm of a street-car con-
ductor he does it with the wish and
belief that the street car will carry
him somewhere-n short, with the
idea that his scent piece has bought
him ride to some point on one side
of the street-car line terminus.
The theory is interesting in view
of the recent case of two Chicago
gentlemen, who, having given their
5-cent pieces to the conductor of a
cable car, were informed that for
some reason the cable was just then
enjoying a rest and the car they
were in could not complete it's trip.
The gentlemen demanded a return
of their fares and were refused. Then
they stepped off the car, walked
downtown and brought suit against
the able company for their respective
5-cent pieces.
Inasmuch as they might have
walked downtown for nothing it
must be confessed that the charge of
5 cents for that purpose seems exor-
bitant. But the cable company's at
torney now puts new light upon
the matter, for he intimates that
the fares bought not ride but a
contract, SO that in stepping off the
train and walking downtown the
compliments (party of the first part)
did violate, cancel and abandon an
express agreement with the defend
ants (party of the second party and
are thereby in the position of con-
tract breakers.
This fact should be clearly under
stood, Since the attorney, not being
competitor for the laurels of Mark
Twain, is evidently in earnest. The
next time you are stranded in
cable car reflect: AS long as you stay
on the car you may not have ride,
to be sure, but you'll have con-
tract; if you get off and walk you
are breaking faith with the company

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We car

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We can
imagine nothing more depressing to
the average criminal than a private
midnight execution conducted in
dead silence, with no excited crowd
of spectators to encourage him to
pose as a martyr or hero. The new
Indiana fashion is infinitely better
than the old way. Public executions
are brutalizing and they increase
crime. Private midnight executions
terrorize not only the prisoner, but
they cause the criminal masses to
view with alarm the prospect of a
doom so swift, silent and grim-a
leap from the darkness of this world
into the blacker gulf of the unknown.
