also the other negroes, who came to the
scene Several gentlemen from the city
who arrived on the scene before tn @ re-
turn Of officer Mcguire, with Coroner
Dixon found the negroes very
violent in their expressions.
They claimed not tolkuow7why Harris
had been killed, and declared that they
would kill the officer if he returned.
When Mcclure returned. however, the
men said nothing, but the women con-
tinued 10 talk loudly.
Coroner Dixon, after an investigation,
concluded that the man was not Smalls,
but was Harris, or Davis, both names be-
ing given the dead man. An old man
named Sen Harris claimed 10 be the
fater Of the dead man, and the body was
taken 10 his house, on the Waters road,
about one and half miles from the
scene Of the killing. Coroner Dixon an
nounced that he would hold an inquest at
10 o clOck this morning.
THE DEAD MAN.
DIR. /. A. Falligant was one Of the first
to reach the scene after the killing, being
on his way TO the city from Montgomery.
He informed a MORNING NEWS reporter
last night that Harris appeared TO be
about - or - years of age. de was of
medium hight, of a dark coffee color and
had a very slight mustache. He had on
blue coat and a striped pair Of trousers.
All the descriptions Of Harris 90 to
show that he bore a very close resem-
blance to the murderer Smaus. IL was
further heightened by the fact that when
Smalls was last seen he was wearing
blue coat.
Is looks very much as if a mistake had
been made, though the man killed had
himself TO blame for attempting TO
resist the officer. OMcer Nc
CURE mad mis- work mapped
out for him, and he had no reason to
doubt that the man was Smails. The
party who first gave the information to
the police of the mans whercab bouts was
positive that he was Smalls.
Chief Graan had very little to say about
the killing last night. He win await the
inquest to-day, and an investigation may
be Ordered Inter-.

PUNISHMENT OF ANARCHISTS.

PUNISHMENT OF ANARCHISTS. @
 Henry Holt suggest' a new tr, a'ment for anarchists in the August Forum.
 Since the anarchist acknowledges no duty to government" he writes, ''he can claim no rights from government: conse- quently. when a man Is duly convicted of anarchistic sentiments. let the government at once announce that it no longer intends its protection to his person or props rty. - that he is an outlaw. with no defense but his own strength against any hate or greed of which he or his may be the object. If outlawry fails to keep the anarchist Tn exile. shall the sanction be confinement or and delay. even hesitancy, is cruelty. If you put him in prison or asylum, there Is no sort of security that he would stay there. If there be here and there a thor oughly reconstructed man working out a long sentence, the fact is a shame, and the idea of keeping cured man shut up. es- pecially ID an asylum, is intolerable. It is pecularity of the anarchists case that his own opinion regarding his cure is the only one that can be taken. But to take that is practically impossible. His disorder does not prevent dissimulation, and all that he has to do is to profess a change of heart and stick to it. To entrap him, through argument, irritation. surprise, or espion- age, into q statement of his true sentiments would often be impossible. Remember how Gerard dissembled. though before his crime. Before he gets so far as actual violence. your anarchist may be the mildest hammered man that ever cut a throat or scuttled ship. But that is the very time to shut him up: it is too late when his ferocitY is unloosej. Yet see the paradox-before his ferocity is unloosed, it is wasted trouble to shut him up, be- cause be can dIssimulate himself out but to wait till Lis ferocity is unloosed. is ab- surd. Hence it is ridiculous to depend upon shutting him up at all.
 "Outlawry and exile failing. and con- finement being demonstrably impractica- ble. there is nothing left but to kill him. The only question is whether we shall wait for hlm to Kill somebody else first. Let the state, then, say to the professed anarchist, without waiting for him to | commit his murder: You have aban- doned the right to stay among us. We have no desire to take your life, but We will not have you among us. Go else- where, and use whatever chances you may have. You prove yourself not fit for human society. and we shall, as matter of decency. notify all organized societies of that fact If you come back here, we shall kill you. If you go there, they, if they are wise. will do the same. Your only possible home is your only fit home the wild and desert places of the earth, with the other beasts of prey that man ha. not yet exterminated
