DOWN With ANARCHY.

We should not boast of orr civiliza-
ton or send any more missionaries to
foreign lands until we uproot anarchy
at home. The teachers o fthis doctrine
are as bitterly arrayed against God as
they are toward man and they are of a
positive class with just enough educa-
ton TO be dangerous. All moral and
religious teachings are ridiculed by
these vipers and nothing but the aveng-
ing hand Of man and drastic laws can
cure the disease and remove the loath-
some vermin from our midst. The
American people are slow to move as a
usual thing, ever when there is great
provocation, but when once aroused to
action they generally accomplish what
they undertake. II should be so in
this case. The press and the people
must demand both state and national
laws dealing with the question. No
doubt there will be many suggestions
offered and many obstacles to over
come but men of wisdom and firmness
can be relied upon to find a remedy
that will obviate any constitutional
barriers. But the remedy must be
found even il il becomes necessary TO
amend the organic instrument. Events
of the past ten days have shown that a
country can be too free, or at least too
indifferent.
Is il not a burning shame that for
years anarchists have been allowed to
assemble and proclaim their hellish
doctrine? To plot against the heads of
governments; scatter their literature
broadcast and publish such papers as
the "Firebrand?" Wehaye only reapcd
the fruitage of noXious weeds that have
been allowed to grow in the garden of
the republic. The country is aroused
aud while il win seem like locking
the barn after the horse is stolen" the
republic is young and by prompt meas
ures the safety of IL presidents in the
future will DE assured.
our immigration laws should be over
hauled and changed SO as to prohibit
the landing of anarchists so far as pos
sible; assaults on the president should
be made a capital offense, whether
death results or not; meetings to de-
nounce the government should not be
allowed. while their literature and or
gans should be suppressed. This much
should be done IL nothing more.
Now, that President Mckinley has
died from his wounds possibly severer
measures will be used. Pity they could
not be gathered up in every state and
sent adrift in the ocean without chart
or compass or confined in insane asy-
lums for a period of years.
In any event the bestial, venomous
and filthy dogs should be shown no
mercy in the future. II the country re-
lakes into indifference or inactivity a
repetition of the tragedy that has start
led and grieved the world can be ex-
pected again before the lapse of many
years.
Pull the fangs of these gila monsters,
even if the head goes with them.
