A CHECK ON ANARCHY.


Among the many plans put forward for com
batting anarchy and checking political assassi-
nation one is being urged by the head OF the
Washington Police Department which promises
to accomplish important practical results with
the least possible disturbance of our legal
theories and customs. This project. fathered
by Major Sylvester Chief of Police for the DIS
trict of Columbia and president Of the Associa-
ton of Chiefs of Police Of the United States
and Canada involves the creation of federal
bureau of Identification. whose function 1t snail
be to bring into direct and helpful touch the
police services of the various States and cities
This bureau Is TO serve as n centre of intel
liCence through which cooperation can be
secured in watching and tracing criminals and
In breaking up the nests Of anarchist senti-
ment in which conSpiracies against government
and heads Of government are hatched SUCH
an agency could not of course, control or direct
the work of State or municipal police; but 1t
would clearly facilitate the difficult task OF
espionage in country where crimes too often
find immunity through the multiplicity OF criml-
nal jurisdictions. y national bureau IN It's
advisory capacity could keep the local police of
every city on the alert against the organizers
OF anarchist conspiracies and through secret
agents IL could obtain and circulate information
on which the local authorities could be asked
to act.
Major Sylyesters plan. it Is justly argued,
requires no change in our constitutional methods
OF dealing with what generally known as
political crimes 1t involves no reclassifcation
OF offences against the person or against the
State and no enlargement of Federal criminal
Jurisdiction. such as must follow any effort 10
make such murdcrouS assaults as that on Presi-
dent Mckinley triable In the federal courts.
Whatever the merits Of these other suggestions
which look to changing the legal character OF
anarchistic assassinations or TO aggravating the
penalties to be paid by the fanatics attempting
them, Major Sylvester's proposal 10 apply
check TO anarchy through administrative
device like his bureau OF Identification seems
to stand on sensible and solid ground Of its own
and should receive n careful consideration at
the next session of Congress. II the federal
power is invoked to help strange anarchy and
its hideous manifestations in their very cradle,
it Is the hope Of the projectors OF the new bureau
TO arrange n system OF exchanges with the police
of other countries, thus forming a league Of law
and order to war on the international union In
which the disciples of anarchy are bound. To
| this war the United States can have no hest
tation in committing itself. after the awful
example of common peril from this common
enemy which the American people have just
witnessed at Buffalo
New-York tribune., 1901-09-11

Rroollvn on Saturday evening at which many
representative socialists OF the most intellectual
tvne were Dresent Ex-Governor Atgeld the
pardoner of anarchist murderers, was the chief
speaker and while there We're some much
restrained expressions of desire that the Presi-
dent might recover from his injuries, the domi-
nant note of comment upon the case was either
one of indifference TO his fate or one OF bellef
that there were other things in the State at
least as bad as President numbering. Note also
that on Sunday in this city at representative
meeting of organized labor, avOwed socialists
opposed resolutions of sympathy with the Presi-
dent and expressed satisfaction with the attack
upon his life Note again that great mass
meeting of socialists at Chicago on Sunday
explicitly rejected proposed resolution OF
regret for the attack upon the President. on the
ground that to adopt 1t would be TO let down
the barrier of hatred which divides the COM
mon people from the capitalists.
Many other indications of sympathy, direct
and unmiStakable. between socialists and anar-
chsts might readily be adduced. We nave
mentioned only few evoked by the crime OF
last Friday at Buffalo We do not say that
socialists and anarchists one, or that all
socialists approve the deviltries of anarchists
But the fact remains that the two meet TO some
extent upon the common ground OF hatred for
their fellow men, The anarchist hates the man
who is chosen to administer the law. and the
socialist hates the man who does more work.
earns more money, and thus is more prosperous
than himself 1t is a community of hatred

Silly SEASON TOPICS.

Contemptuous reference has been made to the
SILLY season topics discussed this year IN the
English press These are represented as having
fallen TO lower depth Of banality than usual.
There are not even the redeeming features of
big goosebcrries But the columns of news
papers are filed with letters TO the editor
such topics as The Decay of Domesticity,"
THE Evils of Intemperance," THE Department
Of Children" and the like, which are, of course,
fat. stale and Improbable to the last degree
It is the silliest silly season known for many
a year.
But Is it? Let us take ourselves at pro-
fessed word and see According TO immemorlal
declarations, the individual character and the
home are the basis of society and of the State
The development Of the character is the all i'm
portant thing in each mans life. The child is
father to the man, and therefore, the cultiva-
tion of the child Is Of supreme Importance 10
the welfare Of the coming generation These
and truisms like them, may be repeated by the
thousand. They are truisms But they are
also true az we have all been declaring. In
that case, why is It so hopelessly silly to con-
slider them? If domesticity is the founda-
ton of society and If domestcity is decaylng
one would say there could scarcely be topic
better worth serious consideration If ntem-
perance is destroying millions 1t surely is sub
iect of first class importance And who will
venture to maintain that the department and
manners of children are generally perfect as
to suggest no need Of improvement:
The fact is, these and similar topics not
silly and are not banal. They are fundamental
TO the welfare of humanity, and it is pteous
anomaly that they should be contemptuously
relegated to the limbo of the silly season. 1t is
not reproach to the silly season that they are
discussed in it, but rather it is reproach TO
the other sensons that they fail TO be discussed
in them There may be other topics more novel
and more sensational. But it Is not, after all.
novelties and sensations which make for stable
progress 1t is quite safe to say there is no
problem discussed In all the rest Of the year the
solution Of which would more greatly benefit
humanity than would the satisfactory solution
of one of these which are put forward as idle
stop-gaps in the silly season.

SHAKE DOWNS" IN EVIDENCE.

Whatever that faithful old St Bernard of the
Police Department may do 10 revenge Devery
upon Patrolman ONeill, il has been demon
strated 10 the satisfaction of the public that
O'Neill had ample provocation for his ''impu-
dence" to his superior, and good reason TO be-
lieve he was being punished for his refusal TO
he shaken down. Commissioner Murphy has
said that the charge Of INSTRUMENTATION against
O'Nell was not made TO get even" with him,
but to enable the department 10 get track of
the abuses told of by ONeill and reform them
If he meaht what he said. O'Neill will he ac-
quilted, and the trails he has uncovered will
be followed up not by system OF browbeat-
ing which induces policemen. ostensibly asked
by their superiors TO tell the truth TO deny all
knowledge of the matter inquired into but by
encouragement Of men 10 tell what they know,
or even what they believe, with guarantee Of
protection ia speaking. IT, in spite OF proofs
that men had been approached, that patrolmen
commonly believed in the possibility of pur-
chasing transfers and remission of fines. ana
that Devery refused 10 give O'Neill n fair hear
ing, Commissioner Murphy punishes ONeilI for
his protest against palpable injustice, he viii
convict himself OF completely in the corruption
which he pretends TO abhor, 10 be ignorant Of
and TO be anxious TO detect and extirpate.
II cannot be said that ONeill furnished legal
proofs Of his charges. That was not expected.
If they We're available they would doubtless
be taken TO the grand jury. He did. however
give Commissioner Murphy ample evidence that
his charges were not without foundation, and
an honest official does not require proofs of
wrong sufficient TO send a subordinate 10 State
prison 10 induce him 10 shake things up and
make the apparent, or even suspected abuses
impossible 1t is not his duty 10 sit back and
tell citizens 10 bring him proofs of evils SO
strong that he can no longer shut his eyes TO
them. 1t is his business TO stir around and dis
cover the weak places in his department for
himself, TO encourage those under him 10 aid
in exposing corruption. instead Of leaving them
in terror, as most of the policemen examined
at o'NeilPs trial evidently were, lest they
should be forced 70 tell something disaQreea bic

II was shown by two witnesses besides O'Neiu
that patroimen had been asked TO give money
for transfers or 10 escape paying fines The
men implicated, Of course, denied their guiIt
but one OF the witnesses who stood nv Deverv
admitted that the influence OF Didier. who me-
cordin2 TO OSeill, asked him TO pay for a

the police. ONeiiPs story was also corrol

him at the place he testified TO- though his ac-
count or the conversation was OF course con-
