THE DEED OF THE ANARCHIST.

1t is now well known that the assassin
of President Carnot is Anarchist and
was the agent of an Anarchist conspiracy.
1t is said that the deed was done to re-
venge the execution of two Anarchists in
Paris. This is a pretext. The Anarchists
who plotted against and took the life OF
the President have the same spirit as the
one who threw the bomb into the hall o.
the Assembly, and the other who threw his
death-dealing instrument into the restau-
rant filled with common people. The An.
archists would have taken the life of Presi-
dent Carnot just the same even if the An
archists who were executed had not been
guillotined. Anarchists who hate law have
no such passion as revenge which does not
include all those who do not salute the rec
flag. The Anarchist is a fiend who hates
whatever is, and, but for fear, he would
carry the torch and the bomb every day
They are organized murderers, and sssas-
sinations will occur whenever the leaders
can find a dupe sufficiently reckless to use
a dagger or fire a bomb. Easy-going peo-
pie in this country do not seem to realize
the desperate character of such fiends. In
our American cities they will listen I'M
moved to harangues against the laws ano
those who enforce them. We say to our
selves that these ranters can do no harm.
but we forget that just such ranting fills
the warped intellects of scores of men like
Prendergast and Guiteau with ideas of
murder. The demagogues whose stock In
trade is denouncing the law and certain
people as the foes of the masses teach the
elements of anarchism when they fill the
minds of ignorant people with hatred and
essary. The mscreants who placed bomb
to be exploded under the car of General
Mckee had been taught anarchism by such
ranters as have been permitted to speak
in nearly every city of the land. The as
sassin who took the life of President Car
not is different from the miscreant in Sui.
Ivan county only in the fact that his dag.
ger carried death, while the dynamite fuse

The assassination of President Carnot
WILL doubtless. lead to the adoption of an
International arrangement in Europe to
suppress Anarchists, which has been under
consideration. Extirpation seems the only
remedy for anarchism as it is for mad
dogs and rattlesnakes. Anarchism is a.
conspiracy against human society. 1t is not
a great danger now. but, if not rooted out
by the active cooperation of all nations
it win come to be such. In this country,
Ii Is time that we should distinguish be-
tween free speech and infiamma tory and
lawless utterance which makes law-haters
and law-contemners who have taken the
first degrees in anarchy.
The universal indignatio which the peo-
pie of France express over this terrible
crime shows that the spirit of an
archism has no real hold in Europe, while
the assassination Of so excellent a public
man as was the President will arrest the
growth Of the heresies which eliminate in

THE PUNISHMENT OF A CRIME.

Nearly twenty years ago the suffrage,
eminent. was destroyed in South Carolina.
Since that time it has been the government
of the election officers. All was we'll so long
as the members of the old regime were
chosen to manage the public affairs. Nat

his followers had learned all of the out
RACES which had been perpetrated upon suf-
frage. because they had been the instru-
ments. Worse than that, a generation had
grown up which had no respect for law
justice. To practice the violation of the
laws designed to secure equal suffrage year
after year breeds contempt for all law. To
deny men the first right of citizenship for
years educates a generation of men who
will not hesitate TO trample upon all other
rights of person and property. The result
is that a generation of constituencies and
violent men have grown up in South Caro-
lima who find in Governor Tillman a fitting
leader. This element is made up of the
small farmers and the poor white trash,

Tillman, demagogic, violent and unscrupu-
lous, is fitting leader. In two campaigns
he has been victorious. He is entering

representative of the old regime. 1t is a

public the accuracy of the drawing. How

official capacity as preservers of the peace

emergency, as well as in ordinary routine.
An American mob would. perhaps. have
had less respect for official authority, and
under such circumstances would have
overpowered the police guard by rough
handling and physical force. but there is
reason TO suspect that American officers
would have shown less determined re-

Those Lyons policemen saved France from
a deeper shadow of crime than even the
murder of Carnot leaves, and they should
have honor accordingly
