MR.. HOAR'S REMARKS.
At the conclusion of Mr.. McComas's re-
marks Mr.. Hoar spoke briefly along the
same lines. He said that while he heartily
agreed with much that had been said. yet
the great difficulty in all these cases of
willing and anxious to give up his life. Fear
of consequences did not in any way deter
such an assassin. Such was the case with
the assassin of William of Orange. who
welcomed the torture inflicted on him.
Every assassin of a foreign ruler had eX-
pected early and certain death. The multi
plication OF punishments for the act itself
therefore would accomplish little. Much
good might be accomplished in limiting the
cfrcula ton of fanatical doctrines. But the
no no. n oh mn aff %
remedy could be secured IL by common con-
sent of all civilized nations some tract of
land somewhere on the earth'S surface,
hemmed in from the outer world. could be
set aside for the confinement of those who
counseled the killing of rulers or the over
throw OF government. Let the Anarchists
have object lesson" the senator said,
''and let the world have an object lesson.
Let there be a little inocula tion of anarchy
into the Anarchist himself and let him have
an anarchistic government among his fol-
lowers"
Mr.. Hoar said banishment would be
proper punishment under the Constitution,
and IL all nations would agree that every
such person be sent to spot, where there
was no government, it would be an effec-
tive remedy. Certainly. the Anarchist
could not complain, for in being trans
ported to a place of no government, he
would have reached his utopia
Mr.. McComas's resolution was then laid
aside for discussion later.

lowing senators the committee to act
