Killing No Murder"

In the September chapter of the Life
of Oliver Cromwell which he is writing
10, the Century. John Morley reaches the
time when the Protector became military
dictator.
About this time was published the pam
phlet with the famous title Of killing no
Murder 1t sets out with truculcnt yigOr
the arguments for deaths TO tyrants, with
a direct deadly exhOrtation to apply them
t. the case Of Lord Protector. The Royal
lists did not conceal their approval of this
doctrine of dagger and pistol. lis a most
excellent treatise, says Nicholas, the
Kings Secretary of State. Cromwell had
no more right to law than n wolf or a fox
and the eXilcs found comfort III telling one
another that the Protector went about in
as much fright as Cain after he had mur.
dcrcd Abel. Three weeks before this pun

Scxby, whom Cromwell had described al
the opening Of the new Parliament as a
wrctchcd creature, an ap0state from all
hcnOr and honesty, one of the republicans
whom Cromwell's later proceedings had
turned into Il relentless enemy, was deep
in plots with RoyaliSts abroad, and even
with the Spaniards, against the life of the
Protector. Diligcnt watch was kept upon
SeNby, and for long his foreign employers
got nothing for their money. At length he
secured confederate as determined as
himself, and less well known to Thurloe's
police. in Miles Sindcrcombe, an old troop

or after Roman and Hebrew example
Sindercombe logged the Protector with q
pistol in his pocket, took a lodging in the
read between Whitehall and Hampton
Court. where Oliver passed every week
offered bribes to the guards, and at last
his pertinacity came very near to success
in plan for setting fire to the Protectors
apartments in Whitehall. He was arrest
ed, brought before jury-a substantial
body of men, most of them justices OF the
peace-and was condemned. He died in
his bed in the Tower the night before the
execution.
Sindercombe's plot was exploded, in
January Q657), and the Protectors mar
rcw escape made a profound impression
on the public mind. 1t awoke sober men
who are majority in most countries wher

fact that only divers life stood between
them and either anarchy on the one hand

NoNPARTIsAN CITY GOVERNMENT

There Is a general agreement between
theorists on municipal government ant
most thoughtful aud intelligent peopl,
that nonpartisan city government is
remedy for the many evils which hav,
given American cities the well earned
reputation Of being the worst governed
Of those Of almost any modern progres-
aive country.
How this desirable nonpolitical admin
isintion Of city affairs is to be attained
Is question Of difIiculty and one upon
which, as yet, there IL no general agree
ment. Each municipality, apparently,
Is doing its bost 10 solve the problem In
lis own way, which Tor the time being
may seem most practicable. Boston, ior
instance, has made large stride in al.
vance by the adoption Of tho reieren.
dun. Good government clubs have
made some impression In New York,
aud the Municipal Voters league Of Chi.

la its efforts toward securing nonpartl.
san rule for Chicago.
OF these theo agencies the Boston
plan seems 10 offer the most permanent
and satisfactory way OF dealing with
important urban policies, but il proper.
