assignable. As to the unfortunate lady
who so tragically came to her end yes
terday, no apparent reason existed that
she should have been singled out for
private or other vengeance. She was
without the least significance as po-
litical factor in the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy. Her influence in public af-
fairs, for which she had neither taste
nor turn, was completely nil. The only
theory which would seem in any wise
to account for the attack upon her.
and the recent attempt upon the life
of Wilhelmina, is that, for some reason
or other, the anarchist societies of Eu-
rope have determined to create a reign
of terror among the monarchical states
and imperial and royal dynasties, by
tiaras, and thus emphasizing the mex
orable and merciless character of the
war of anarchy against society as
organized in the Old World
The crime of Lucchini augurs badly
for the cause of the common people
and of liberty in Europe. 1t will in
eyitably produce a reaction which viii
be marked by repressive legislation
and iron handed administration of laws
against public assembly and public
speech. Discomfort and almost open
rebellion are rife in Spain, Italy, and
parts of Austria Hungary. Nihilism
is not dead in Russia, as the most re-
cent effort to- kill the Gar is evidence.
The assassination of Empress Eliza
beth is the third outbreak of a SEEM
ing campaign of murder against
crowned heads within month. Where
it will stop it is impossible TO say. Prob
ably we have not heard the last of it.
A late speech of Kaiser Wilhelm, in
which he foreshadowed a stringent
Prussian anti-strike law. excuses the
suspicion that he. too, may have ex-
posed himself to the wrath of the
vicious societies which frequently ex-
ploit the cause of the European work
ingmen to cover their real object.
which. as many of their leading MEM
bers boast. is to destroy modern society
and reduce the world to a condition of
anarchy.

The killing of Kings.

Two attempts TO asSassinate sovereigns
have been reported within week, and
in each case the subject selected for
death has been uncommonly free from
the characteristics Of a tyrant. Not in
all Europe is there monarch more de-
voted 10 the happiness of his people
than the present Car of Russia, unless
il is the young Queen of Holland, whose
people have thrown their hearts into
the celebration of her coronation. Yet
these are the two whose lives have been
threatened. the first by an alleged
agent of a secret society, the other by
Socialist, presumably acting alone
Probably the public does not know
how often attempts to kill rulers are
made, since it is the policy of discretion

BILE. The successes, as in the case OF
Alexander, who, moved by the picture
drawn by Tourgenieff in his Leaves
from a Sportsman's Notebook" COM
pleted the emancipation of the serfs,
and of the most innocent French presi-
dent, Carnot. are only few in many ef-
forts.
That murder societies extend through
out Europe and have international re-
lations, is the positive affirmation OF
the police. The more reasonable sug-
gestion is that such assassins as he who
fired at Hollands adored sovereign are
cranks, acting independently and in
spired to the deed by the furore of a
celebration. 1t is to the interest of the
10 q
of revolutionary societies, and such
facts as are known about the Russian
sensation certainly lend color to their
theory. The Nihilists of the violent
type. who were thought to be extinct.
proclaimed their hostility, not to the
personality of the Car, but to the
social system Of which all rulers are
the head. Whatever the truth may be,
no man of sane mind would expect to
popularize his socialistic doctrines by
such methods The more innocent the
victim the clearer it is that the over
throw of the system is the ultimate
aim, but also the greater is the horror
with which the world regards the muir
derous propagandists. Socialism that
does not attempt to promote its princi-
pies by violence has grown to impor-
tance in Germany. but if the belief
spreads that it is in any way related to
or in sympathy with the assassination
of liberal monarchs it cannot long
maintain its organization.
Democracy, or constitutional gov
ernment on the general plan of our
own, is surely the future of society, but
its growth is retarded by violence. The
doctrine of self government has no
worse enemies than regicides.

A New House of Prayer.

On yesterday, the holy Sabbath of
our Jewish fellow-citiZens, those of
them whose privilege 1t is to form part
and a most important part-of the
Capital community. were able to wor-
ship the common Father Of us all in
their beautiful new temple, most ap-
propriately called Beth Elohim.
Today it is permitted to The Times
to congratulate the Washington con-
tingent of the Chosen People on two
things: First, that they are housed at
last in a house of prayer worthy of
their means and of the grand object
of its dedication; second, that in taking
formal possession of the temple on Fri
day they had the sense and patriotism
to remember in their invocations and
songs of praise to the Giver of All
Good that among the richest blessings
He has bestowed upon them one of
the very greatest is the privilege of
living and prospering in a country of
religious and civil liberty.
For reasons well enough known to
all readers of this journal, there are
reasons peculiar to the Children OF
Israel why they should intensely feel
and appreciate the happiness of exist
ence in a land where their ancient re-
ligion and its adherents are not only
tolerated, but honored of all decent
men,. No doubt this feeling has been
recently accentuated by the war with
Spain, and the condign punishment of
that hideous power whose hellish cru
elites to the Jews of many generations
have made their offspring to shudder
at the very name of the kingdom with
its bloody history of outrage and tor
ture inflicted upon a peaceable and
worthy people once forming the best
element of its national life.
Thank God, there is nothing of that
kind to remember against the great
| Western Republic. Noble Hebrew
Americans have fought and died for
the Stars and Stripes. Sons of David
have been ornaments of the bar. bench,
and Senate. No great work of national
advancement, no grand effort of public
charity or philanthropy in our history
has been achieved unsupported by He
| brew hearts. hands. and means.
Earnestly devoted to his religion, it
may be sincerely said of the American
Hebrew that he is equally and intensely

China's Population.

The Horrors at Chfckamauea.

commission bases it's report of the con-

This is the camp in defense of which
Gen. Boynton-the man who selected
this site for the troops-made report
that was received with suspicion by
those who knew anything of the actual
conditions, and with explanatory de-
light by the whitewash journals.
He did not know and the country did
not know that Gen. Breckenridge had
in his pocket the report of an investi-
cation by an army board which con-
tradicted every assertion Of Gen. Boyn-
ton. That report was made public
few days ago and it's conclusions
shocked the public.
But it was nothing like the shock they
must experience as they read the testi-
mony of colonels, captains, surgeons, and
privates who have been volunteer nurses
in the hospital, and the regimental
chaplain of the Ninth New York. Such
recital of neglect and inefficiency
must strain human credence. 1t shows
the utter inhumanity of responsible Of

medicines, ice, or water fit TO drink;
of soldiers in the fury of typhoid fever
without having had their clothes re-
moved for weeks; Of a patient with
pneumonia who had to wait eighteen
days for any medicine; and of patients
covered with vermin. Is it any wonder
the chaplain speaks of it as "a hell on
earth?"
