Mesa free press., 1898-11-25

Two examples in our own national
history have shown that the dagger or
the pistol Of the assassin Is just as apt
to be aimed at the most democratic of
officials as at the haughtiest Of mon
archs; just as apt to pierce the heart of
a Lincoln as that of Caligula. No
loftiness, no humility of character; not
the divinest love for humanity nor the
broadeSt beneficence Of aim; neither
the greater purity Of life nor the most
elf-sacrifcing devotion to the public
good-none Of these are barriers
against the violence Of men maddened
by imaginary wrongs or vicious the
cries. Anarchists of the type Of him
who has recently murdered a pure,
good woman simply because she was
an empress-though whatever power
she exercised seems to have spent itself
mainly through the unobtrusive chan
nels sought by good women Of lower
rank-such men discriminate no more
than do mad dogs In the choice Of their
victims. They are, in fact, human mad
dogs. TO deal with them in a wholly
preventive way seems as impossible as
to wholly prevent the ravages Of
canine rabies. Let the poisonous mi
crobe Of anarchical sentiment lodge in a
human brain, and, given favoring en-
vironment, it Is bound to complete its
mission Of evil. The only hope is in
making such favoring environment as
nearly impossible as we can by cult
waiting everywhere the spirit Of Chris
tian optimism. Anarchism cannot grow
where light and cheerfulness prevail.
1t is the final product Of the darkest pes
simism-of a system Of thought where
in there Is no room for hope. Make a
people happy and anarchism will find
no soil in which It can take root; fill a
crowd with discomfort, and the evil pas
sions on which anarchism feeds begin
to run riot. Italy is the home of more
discomfort, more melancholy, more pes
simism, than are found in all Europe
and America beside. From her borders
have gone the three assassins whose
crimes have most lately shocked the
world-the murderers of President Car
not, Of Premier Canovas and of Flh-
press Elizabeth. And Italy will prob
ably continue to breed assassins and
anarchists until a better government,
better education and a better social
system shall have made happier the
homes and more hopeful the lives Of its
crowded population.

Aguinaldo pays his soldiers but lit

gested a conference Of all the great
powers of the world with view to q
discontinuance Of the vast armaments
now maintained. The ultimate object
Is universal and perpetual peace. No
doubt 1t is too soon for this magnificent
project to be realized. France alone
could and will block the plan. She will
certainly try to regain her lost prov
inces before she will disarm. Nor is
she alone. The Eastern and Chinese
questions must be settled before the ma
tions of Europe will trust each other.
But a scheme like this, once proposed
by such authority, will never be given
up until it has been accomplished. The
nineteenth century may not, probably
will not, witness its success, but the
twentieth century-we may almost say
it with confidence-will see something
like an abolition of war. Compulsory
military service will be abandoned, and
take its place with other obsolete bar
barisms, and arbitration will be sub
stituted for the cannon, the rife and
the sword in settling all the most diff
cult disputes between nations.

Koch's theory that mosquitoes are
the agents in the spread Of malaria is
not a new doctrine. but has been
taught for many years by Italian and
East Indian physicians. In the Roman
Campagna it has long been known that
one might live there with comparative
safety by sleeping in the upper stories
Of the houses, where mosquitoes and
gnats seldom come. English physicians
in India have discovered the germ Of
malaria in the body of the mosquito,
and have seen the disease occur in peo-
pie after they had been bitten by num-
bers Of these germ-infested insects.
There are probably other ways of get
ting malaria, but undoubtedly NOS
quito net is one indispensable means Of
protection in a malarious district
where the pests usually abound.

Shall a diploma or academic degree
be given for proficiency in the science
and art Of agriculture? This question
Is being considered in all seriousness
by the ancient English University of
Cambridge. AS farmers cannot be
made by the use of libraries and labor
atories alone, 1t Is understood that a
degree would be conditioned on a GER
tain term Of residence and actual prac-
Hce on a farm. In America agricul-
tural colleges, with model farms, have
long been in operation; and although
still under challenge In some educa-
tional circles, they are doubtless CON
tributing to raise the standard and
dignity Of the farmers life, and to put
the most important Of all branches of
productive industry on basis of intel
ligence and self-respect, with a reason
able promise of increasing profits
through improving processes.

Because he was made the victim Of a
tailor's revenge, man in an adjacent
State has been awarded a verdict Of
5000 damages, and the case is warn
ing to other tailors. The revenge was
not worth 5000, but the tailor's expe.
rience may be. They wear 'pants" in
the town where the case came up. The
tailor made pair of pants" and the
customer wanted to take them home
and try them on. The tailor wanted
them tried on where they were, but the
customer didn't think 1t proper test
There are SO many things that fit per-.
fectly in the shop but don't fit at all
when you get them home. The tailor
objected and the man refused to pay
hands. Then the tailor had happy
thought. He hung the bifurcated gar
meDt In the window with a sign at
tached bearing the customers name,
and announcing that the goods were
for sale. People used to pause in front
Of the window and wonder if poverty
had driven the customer to pawn his
pants" or If he had lost them and the
tailor had found them and was having
an 'old horse" auction. Then the tail
or feared he would be cheated of his
revenge and changed the sign so it an
nounced the customer had ordered the
pants" and they were being offered
for sale on a foreclosure The jury
said it was worth 5000 in wounded
feelings. 1t was a mistake in method.
The proper way is to let the customer
wear the trousers home, and then, If
he fails to pay, wait until you catch
him wearing the ''pants" and suddenly
attach q large bull dog to the south
extension Of them. This is just as re-
vengeful, more fun, and cheaper.

An issue of the Pueblo, Col, Chief
tain last week contains lengthy pro-
test against being required to remain
longer in the service of Manila signed
by number of volunteers. The protest
saws that since landing on Luzon the
men have not eaten a decent meal un-
less they paid for it out of their own
cash, and that on August 13, at the
battle of Manila, the men charged up
on the Spanish trenches when they
we're so weak from constant hunger
that they could hardly carry their am
munition, and declares that had the
Spanish forces remained in their
trenches they would have had little
trouble in dispatching the attacking
force, so utterly exhausted were the
men from continuous duty and weak
ened from hunger. The protest contin-
ues: GAS true Americans we on May
5 last enlisted in the cause of human
ity. We were soon convinced of one
fact, viz, that we did not have to go
to Cuba to find hungry men, In tho
cause Of humanity we offered our serv-
ices, and not for the special aggran-
dizement of any one, two or three men.
Over 1000 Colorado boys are anxiously
awaiting developments. The sickness
and death rate is increasing at an
alarming rate" The protest was read
