THE STRENGTHENING SPEECHES

{ AIURDAY evening in this city something
y of field night for both Republicans and Dem
- ocrats The Republicans were addressed by
one OF the most eminent citizens OF the State, Morris
M. Estee, and the Democrats by ]. Hamilton Lewis,
one OF the most conspicuous OF the new leaders the
new departure of Democracy has brought to the front
The arguments of each side being thus presented
by men who are thoroughly representative OF the poll
tics and the parties they support the readers OF The
Call had on Sunday opportunity OF studying both
sides of the campaign. 1t an interesting study,
and one which should have engaged the attention of
every voter whose mind is not yet made up on the
issues before the people.
Mr.. Estee made his points clearly. The national
issues of the canvass The maintenance of sound
money, an early reform of the currency, the
tnuance of the protective tariff and the unfolding of
the administration, which has well served the
ton both in peace and in The local issues are
the preservation of the welfare of the State by the
election of safe, conservative men to Office and the
defeat of candidates who represent only the discon
tents OF the unthrfty the vagaries of radicals who
regard land downing wrong and desire to virtually
coqfscate land by imposing upon the owner the
whole burden of taxation for all purposes.
Mr.. Lewis gave much of his speech to an attempt
to prove to the Democrats before him that Mcguire
has not been neglectful of his duties as Congress
length, but made his main argument the extraor-
binary assertion that the Republican administration
has not kept its pledges made in 1906
1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Lewis and for the fused
factions he has here to help that this charge of
his was made on the day that Estee spoke, and
that the two speeches published together next
day. To the question of the Democratic orator ad-
dressed to Republican leaders: Can any of them
point to single issue promise of the last
pagn that has been carried out?" Mr.. Estees elab-
crate review of the benefits accrung to the country
from the Republican protective tariff and the virtual
settlement of the money question, affords complete
The campaign is young yet, and it is not known
what resources may be at the disposal of the Mcguire
managers; but if they have any orators capable of
giving dignity and to the for their
single tax champion it is time to bring them to the
front. The gentleman imported from Washington is
eloquent indeed but has many vagares as Mcguire
himself and will never win conservative or indepen-
dent voter to the side of the factions for which he
does his talking

UPS AND DOWNS Of Ii HUNG CHANG

N OUBILESS it was with prophetic foresight
J OF the political adventures of Ii Hung Chang
that the od-tme poet wrote the rafting
chorus, When he was up he up; and when he
was down, he down; and when he was just half
way, he neither UP nor down.
For the last ten years the old man has been on the
most uncertain teeterboard of fortune that was ever
ridden by a statesman; his yellow jacket and his
peacock-feather have been alternately donned and
DOTTED with the rapidty of lightning change artist
and he must have long since to the conclusion
that life is game in which it is impossible for even
the most skillfu player to stack the cards.
The most singular feature of this career of ycis-
STUDIES is that it has been lived out in China For
ages the Flowery Kingdom the land where all
things were stagnant and where changes came only
with the processes OF nature-where grew old in
the station in which they were born, and were safe
from everything except death and taxes All the old
time conservatism, however, seems now to have
passed away. A new order of politics prevails. The
Chinese administration is variable than that of
France In other capital of late years have states
men experienced such quick of popular or i'm
perial favor as in Picking.
That China is undergoing the throes of far
reaching revolution affecting her social structure and
industrial organism even more than her government
all the world knows. The extent and degree of the
fluctuations caused by these forces are revealed
by the effect they have upon the heads of the state
AS Ii Hung Chang goes up down. so does the tidal
wave of new movement in the empire ebb or flow
1t is indisputable evidence of his consumn1ae I'M
derstanding OF Chinese nature and his cool-headed
mastery OF court intrigues that he has managed to
escape shipwreck in the stormy over which he
has to make his way.
1t is OF the curious paradoxes of history that at
this closing epoch of their oldtime stagnation the
Chinese who of all races have the highest veneraton
for ancestry, have at the head of their government
Dowager Empress who once slave girl and
Prime Minister who was once poor fisherman
These two old people, whose lives more remark
able in their swift changes from poverty to affuence
and power than any known to the United States,
where the Presidency is open to the aspirations of
every boy, are to-day directing the conservative SUI
persttous, stagnant Chinese in the paths of change
that will lead no knows whittier.
Great is the just fame of Chang, the Dowager
Empress seems to have more vrile brain and
greater force of will than him. Her career how
ever has not largely attracted the attention of the
world Chang is the Foreign Minister and it is upon
Chang the eyes OF the nations fixed To-day his
teeter board is bearing him more up and curious
diplomatist watching to whether he will not
start downward Tomorrow

ELIMINATE THE KENVILLES.

POLICEMEN need to be brave and strong
bThey do not need to be brutal. Unless they
have the sense and decency to make proper use
of the authority conferred upon them they constitute
to the community serious menace as the evil
doors whom it is supposed to be their province to
hold in check. Give bully pistol club and an
exaggerated notion of his rights and you have bully
OF the worst type.
Policeman Kenvile is believed to have broken the
skull OF little boy lad too small to have wrought
him physical harm. The statement is made that the
patrolman threw club and struck the child who had
had the misfortune to annoy him. He pleads not
guilty and denies the commission of the act We are
willing to hold the verdict in allegiance until he shall
have been heard If he overturn the evidence of
reputable witnesses, which conclusive, all
the better for him. If he cannot the sooner he shall
be expelled from the force together with all of his
kind, the better for the department.
There occasions when violence on the part of
policeman is justifable and exercised properly will
receive general Endorsement. He is armed for ener-
gencies. He must run the chance of coming in con-
tact with desperate characters and it is his business
to subdue them. In this he protects the pub
lic and if he crack the crown of dangerous hood
lum or professional criminal the circumstance will
rather weigh in his favor But no boy of ten years
even though disporting himself noisy earns the dis
comfort of fractured pate No policeman can ad-
vance shadow of justification for throwing his club
into crowd of youngsters, knowing as he must if
not fool that fatal impact may result And if he
is fool there other cangs in which he would
constitute less of peril

THE EXCLUSION OF ANARCHISTS.

~ WING to the activity of the European police in
IL enforcing the laws against anarchists since the
ASSASSINATION of the Empress of Austria, the
danger of large influx of that class of criminals to
the United States has become imminent This is
fully recognized in the Eastern Cities where incoming
anarchists would be most likely to assemble and
strong agitation is now going on to arouse the imm
grafton inspectors to greater vigilance than ever in
excluding them.
That sufficient exists for the agitation is be-
yond dispute. The time has gone by when any man
of fair intelligence and right sympathes could believe
that anarchy has its origin in despotism; that it aims
only at the destruction of tyranny, and that on
irving in this country the dangerous mailman Of
Europe would be transformed into good peaceable
and industrious citizen. We have had disastrous
experience with the class in Chicago, and have
near having others in New York We have learned
the lessons taught by these experiences, and the de-
mand for thorough exclusion of anarchists is proof
that we know how to profit by them.
The anarchists aim at the destruction of existing
society," and strive attain that end by the assassna
ton of any who stands representative of law
or of property Their blows fall with an equal hate
upon the Gar of Russia the police of cities, or
as in the of the Empress OF Austria, upon
woman entitled to respect for her years and her sor
rows as well as for her high station.
That few demagogues in this country such as
Altgeld of Illinois and James G. Mcguire sympathize
with the spirit of anarchy and do not hesitate
enuate its oenses, renders the coming of anarchists
to shores dangerous than it would
otherwise be- Mcguire member of Congress has
insisted upon the right of anarchists to enter the
United States and Altgeld as Governor of Illinois
pardoned those who in that State had been sent to
prison for life for completely in the murder of the
Chicago policemen at the Haymarket riots
These deeds show the extent to which that class of
demagogues are willing to encourage the spirit of
anarchy among the lawess criminals of Europe who
may seek admission the United States 1t there
fore evident that the danger of anarchy of almost as
much to us as to the people of the most
despotic nations in the Old World and the best way
to guard against the of the assassins is to ex
clude them from this country altogether.
