THE REMEDY FOR ANARCHY.

From the Toronto Globe.
Anar,hism OF the kind that justifcs assaSsina.
tion, was bred not in the United states nor in
Great Britain, where ircc institutions are en-
joycd, but in those European countries where the
most severe measures of repression are used II
may fairly he described as the child Of tyranny
and repression, not OF liberty, That form Of an
archism which is rife in the southern states, the
lynching and burning OF negroes, what is it but
the result OF the great crime against liberty
which dragged the African from his home and
kept him tor a century in bondagc2
The new arrivals in country are apt to gather
in the cities, and it is through those cities that
they form their first impressions Of the national
institutions. II the police are corrupt or brutal
it is quite natural that the newcomer who has
been clubhed or blackmaled should form a bad
impression OF the whole system Of government
On the other hand, an honest intelligent, cour,
tcous police force, clean streets and good muni-
cipal government would have an important educa
tive influence on the foreigner Let him b'
taught that as long as he respects the rights o
others the law will be his friend and he wall
become supporter instead of an assalant Of the
institutions OF the country.

The Limits of Criticism,

(From the New York TibuncD
~ INCE THE assassination of
- President Mckinley few
~ apologists for the indecent
abuse to which he was sub
iected have come forward in criticism
of the almost universal feeling that
the verbal and pictorial representation
of the president as scoundrel, a
murderer, an oppressor of the poor and
a tool of trusts far transcribed the
limits of legitimate opposition, and
tended to provoke insane passions and
violence. 1t is said that the present
Indignation against reckless viliflca-
ton of public men is irrational, and
that the people in their present mood,
striving to put down anarchy and in
elements to anarchy, would overturn
the safeguards of liberty and free gov
ernment. Full freedom of public
criticism, we are told, must he pre-
served. and the inference is that a
public sentiment which forbade such
abuse as President Mckinley was

In an address at the Ahsmbrs, in syracuse
last Friday night Chancellor Day said: The

tolerated for months and years certain deform'
tics Of journalism which have proceeded to abct

Powderly that the work OF
the immigration bureau be
so extended as to include ccrtiication
at foreign ports of every alien candi-
date for entrance into the United
states, as we'll as surveillance for five
years after he gets in, is naturally op-
posed by those who are opposed to
tightening the bars. as we'll as by some
who want something done but don't
know just what. TO this latter class
belongs the Rochester Post Express,
good but finnicky paper which, in a
comment upon Mr.. Powdcrly's sugges-
ton, says:
The proposed plan assumes that all
immigrants are prima facie criminals;
it provides also that they must be
subjected to the Bcrtillion system of
measurements. and that they must he
watched for five years. What self-re-
spccting immigrant, or what person
worthy of becoming a citizen of the
| United States. would submit To any
such dsgraceful assumption? lmag-
| inc, too. what a corps of bureauCrats
would be required to keep track of
the hundreds of thousands of immi-
grants that come to this country every
year. Were the taxpayers to submit
to the burden of so many parasites, we
have no idea that this system of es-
pionage. so hostile to the spirit of
American institutions, would be cffec-
| tive"
1t is not true that Mr.. Powdcrly's
! plan assumes that all immigrants are
prima facie criminals 1t assumes
merely that the United states has long
enough taken in all who offer them
selves and should now begin To exhibit a
rational measure of dissemination. No
| foreigner has any fixed right to enter
America. He comes through tolerance.
That being true, it is within our pro-
| vince to define the terms upon which
| he shall enter. Because people lock
their doors at night does not assume
that all other people are burglars it
simply recognizes the existence Of
enough burglars to make it worth while
to be careful.
Many reasons aside from the problem
of anarchsm call for surveillance of
| immigrants. When a man is taken into
any of those churches which have a pc
riod of probation he is watched, to see
how he behaves. And properly. The
church does not want To take into its
fold one who would discredt it. When
"A man is employed in any business ON
| trial, he is watched, to see if he will
! fill the bill. This does not shame him
nor offend him; and it is what he en-
poets. The immigrant is not a Citi-
zen but probationer. We may want
to keep him and convert him into a
citizen, and we may not. Simply let
ting in everybody who wants to come
in, good bad and Indifferent, and then,
just as soon as they have lived here

clothing them i'm the complete garb of
citizenship, regardless of how it fits,

republic. 1t is time to stop that care
lessness and apply the obvious dictates
of common sense,
If to do this requires more govern
ment employees, hire them. Bricks are
not made without straw.

~ and order, we should be proud
[ n Of the manner in which the
assassin of our president has
been accorded a prompt trial, the bene-
fit of able counsel and complete pro-
lection against influences calculated to
bias the decision of the jury. The ver-
dict, equally prompt, exactly tallies
with the evidence.
The trial of Czolgosz is conspicu-
Gus model of what all trials ought to
he. 1t is true that i'm not every in

though it We're desired, to proceed with
such swift directnesS to the trial of

When legal procedure is used to shield

that men of impatient temperament

Journalism is not the only field of
human activity that has yellow streaks
in it, Its YellOwness is viVidly appar-

The fact that our courts can upon

with the tedious delays so often en-
rountered in them. The Buffalo trial
Is an ideal toward which American
court procedure should everywhere
more closely approach.
