THE INSANITY DODGE.

Is 1t the purpose of Czolgosz to pre-
tend to be insane. hoping thus to es-
cape the death penalty? 1t looks that
way. He refuses TO talk to anyone,
and when he was arraigned in court
on Tuesday he refused to answer when
asked to plead to the indictment. I'm
less he intends to try to create the
impression that he is insane there is
no reason why he should not answer
questions asked by the court and it's
officers.
1t will be recalled that there were
many who thought Guiteau, the slayer
of President Garfield, was insane, and
the government was pretty severely
criticised for executing him. 1t is
probable that he was sane enough to
know what ne was doing-to know
right from wrong. The Guiteau trial
was long drawn out affair. 1t looks
as if the Czolgosz case would also be
long drawn out. The court has APP

MORE STRINGENT IMMIGRATION
LAWS

The Democrats of Nebraska, in their
convention at Lincoln on Tuesday.
voiced the prevailing sentiment of the
American people in a resolution call
ing for more stringent immigration
laws. In their platform they said:
while we believe now as in the past
that the United States should continue
to be an asylum for the oppressed of
all European nations who come here
with the honest purpose Of becoming
citizens and to share in the blessings
of government based on the consent
of the governed, yet we demand more
stringent immigration laws, so devised
and executed as to exclude anarchists
of all countries from entering Ameri-
can territory, and we demand such
legislation, both state and national, as
will suppress anarchy in this coun-
try"
The Nebraska Democrats want an
archism crushed out and anarchists
kept out of the country. They ask that
there be legislation by all of the states
and also by Congress against anarchists
There is reason for believing that the
step taken by the Democrats of Me-
braska will be very generally followed
by both Democrats and Republicans of
all of the other states. There has been
a growing sentiment for a long time
that anarchism and anarchists ought
not to be tolerated. There is a move
ment in Europe to call an international
congress for the purpose of taking con-
certed action against anarchists.
There is no reason why the Ameri-
can people should live in apprehension
of a great calamity. Liberty of speech
and liberty of action do not mean that
a few hundred people have a right to
teach and practice doctrines which
have for their object the overturning
of organized government and organ
lied society. These anarchists advo-
cate assassination because they want
to bring about condition of chaos
On what ground can they claim pro-
lection from the government which
they are doing their utmost to destroy?
If after a fair and free discussion of
the question of getting rid of anarch-
lists 1t should be decided to deport
them, why would 1t not be advisable
to send them to Guam? We have very
little use for that island and less use
for anarchists. There they might teach
and practice their principles without
doing anybody harm except them
selves. Application of their doctrines
to themselves might bring change in
their opinions, provided they are not
insane. If they are insane they would
be about as we'll off in Guam as they
would be in asylums.

The complaint which we published
yesterday from a correspondent re-
specting the mischievous and outra-
geous conduct of bad boys on Macon
and Harris streets is one which mer-
its the attention of both the police and
parents. If parents will not force their
children to respect the rights of 9th
ers, then the police must step in and
see that those rights are respected.
Harris and Macon streets, however, are
not the only localities annoyed by OBJ
streperous and often vicious boys. They
are to be found in gangs in various
parts of the city, and take delight in
killing cats, canary birds and other
pets, and destroying flowers, trees and
shrubs. 1t frequently occurs that
when injured parties complain to par
ents of the depredations of their sons
they are met with only derision if not
open insult. 1t is time the young
toughs were taken in hand and made
to know that they do not "own the
town."

Tricks of Brovning's Dog.

Robert Brownlng's mother had an
extraordinary power over animals.
She could even lure butterflies to her
by some unknown means, and domestic
animals obeyed her as if by the aid OF
reason, writes w. J. Stillman in his
autobiography.
Robert had received a present of a
bulldog of rare breed, which tolerated
no interference from any person except
him or his mothe, and would never al
low strangers to be in the least ia
miliar with her. When a neighbor
came in he was not allowed to shake
hands with her, for the dog at once
showed his teeth Not even her hus-
band was allowed to approach her too
closely, and if Robert was more ia,
miliar with her than the dog thought
proper the display of his teeth was
very evident.
One day, to subject him to a severe
test, Robert put his arm about his
mothers neck as they sat side by side
at the table. The dog went round
behind them, put his forefeet on a
chair, and lifted Roberts arm away
with his nose.
There was a favorite cat in the fam,
lily. and her the dog hated. One day he
chased her under a cupboard and kent
her there, besieged until Mrs. Brown
Ing gave him severe lecture. and
charged him never to modest pussy
again. The creature obeyed her implic,
ity. From that day forth he was never
known to touch the cat, although she
remembering past tyranny. bore her
self most insolently toward him. Yet
when she scratched him, he only
whimpered and turned away, as If to
avoid temptation.

THE MCKINLEY CABINET.

President Roosevelt appears to be
pretty we'll satisfied with the McKin-
ley cabinet; so well satisfied that he
has asked each member of it to remain
with him during his term.
There is no doubt of course that all Cf
the cabinet officers will retain their Of
fees for the present, and it may be
that the cabinet will continue intact
until the inauguration of the next
that 1t will.
The President has said that he in
tends to carry out the policies of the
late President Mckinley. and there is
every reason to think that the per-
sonal relations between the President
and each member. of the cabinet will
remain pleasant, but it would be extra
ordinary II there should be no cabinet
designations.
Many things may arise to bring
about changes. The health of Mr.
Hay. Secretary of State, is by no
means good. He may retire soon aftel
the meeting of Congress, or at the be.
ginning of warm weather next year.
And there may be members whose pri-
waite affairs require their attention.
But the fact remains that the Presi-
dent has asked each one of them to
remain to the end of his term.
We do not recall that President Ar
thur made any such request to the
Garfield cabinet as President Roose-
welt has made, or that President John
son desired the assistance OF the en-
tire Lincoln cabinet. Only one member
of the Garfield cabinet remained
throughout President Arthur's term
and three of the Lincoln cabinet re-
manned with President Johnson until
his term expired.
President Roosevelt will be fortunate
IL he succeeds in holding all of the
members of the Mckinley cabinet to
the end of his term. The chances are
that some of them viii resign. 1t is
worthy of notice that the newspapers
which know 1t all have already con-
structed new cabinet, some of them
putting Governor General Wood OF
Cuba into the war Office, and others
putting Senator Lodge into the office
of Secretary of State. The action of the
President asking all the members of
the cabinet to remain shows how little
such papers know of the acutal situa-
ton.

WHY NOT LATE PEACHES.

In this market California peaches
are selling at cents apiece-that is
the best of them-and they are not
very good peaches either. They are lus-
cious looking, but they are far inferior
to the Georgia peach. OF course the
California growers do not get cents
apiece for these peaches. They are
fortunate IL they get cent, or even X
cent. At u a cent the growers would
make handsome profit.
How is it that California peaches
and pears and grapes find such
good market in this state? There is no
better fruit growing state in the
Union than Georgia. Her peaches and
plums have a wide reputation. Her
peaches are all marketed, however, by
the middle or last of August. But
there is no reason why she should not
grow late peaches. She has suita-
BILE soil and climate. All that is lack
ing is the necessary knowledge and
the inclination. 1t was not known
that Georgia could grow peaches on a
large scale profitably until within the
last ten years. Now there are many
people in the middle part of the state
/ who are getting rich from their peach
orchards.
The country is growing rapidly and
the market for fine fruit is therefore
increasing. And there is a market for
peaches for more than few weeks.
There is no good reason why Georgia
should not have peaches from the first
of July to the middle of October-not a
few trees here and there, but large
orchards that would supply the greater
part of the South and West with
peaches.
And attention ought to be given to
securing the kind of peaches which
stand transportation we'll and keep for
two weeks or more, as the California
peaches do. There is just as much
money in late peaches as there is in
peaches that are marketed in July and
August. In Maryland and Delaware
some of the best varieties of peaches
do not ripen until October, and, as a
rule, they bring better prices than
those marketed earlier in the season.
Not anywhere near as much atten-
ton is given to fruit in this state as
there ought to be. There ought to be
a score of apple orchards in the state
where there is one now, and there
ought to be better varieties of apples.
And more attention ought to be given
to the finer varieties of pears. 1T is
a mistake to permit so much money
to go out of the state for fruit, when
better fruit could be produced at
home. 1t is seldom that Georgia ap-
Piles are found in this market, and yet
the demand for apples here is very
large. The experiment station is do
ing something towards getting the peo-
pie interested in the growing of fruits.
Its latest publications contain a great
deal of information respecting the
growing of grapes. Large quantities
of this fruit are grown in the state but
the growers do not know apparently
how to market them. A large portion
of the grapes consumed in this mar
ket is the product of California vine
yards. Why is 1t that the Georgia
growers do not monopolise the home
market? They certainly can do so
profitably. There is big, undeveloped
field in this state for those who are
| disposed to give their attention to
| fruits

He Was on His wedding Trip.

One of the best known raconteurs in
the South is the Rev. Charles Lane of
Atlanta, says the New York Times. He
is thoroughly unconventional, but is
possessed of an inexhaustible supply of
anecdotes. Mr.. Lane was one of a
party with the Rev. DR. T. Dewitt Tai
mage at the home of Evan P. Howell,
in Atlanta. DR.. Talmage was person.
ally a stranger to most of the preach
ers present, and the dinner seemed
rather cold and formal differing in this
respect from most Southern gatherings.
Finally some one suggested to DR.. Lane
that he try to liven things up. He then
proceeded to tell the following story,
which completely fractured the ice and
made every one acquainted with every
one else that was there:
"A few years ago there might have
been seen walking the decks of an At
lantic steamer man, apparently a rus
tic inhabitant, seemingly in deep dis
tress. A fellow passenger having OBJ
served the manifestations of the mans
obvious grief for several days, finally
went to him and asked sympathetical-
ly:
My friend, have noticed your dis
tress for several days, and, thinking
that perhaps 1 might be of some as
sistance, venture to ask If any member
of your family is dead
No replied the man; nobody dead
Well, you are probably suffering
from some serious business misfortune,

No; no business trouble
Might 1 ask, then, what the trouble

Well, I'm on my weddin' trip re-
sponded the man, seriously.
ON your wedding trip? Why, new
er heard of a man taking a wedding
trip when his wife was not with him.
Well, you see it was this way: We
didn't have money enough for both of
us to go, but as the thing had to be
tuck, I'm taking it myself
