committed by Anarchists, but such laws

Since the lamentable occurrence which
took place at Buffalo, our law expounders
have been ingenious in suggesting i'm

enactment of new legislation. These are
ex post facto suggestions, and, unfortu-

police power can be invoked to make the
propagation OF anarchism much more dif-

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Anarchlsm and the Law
L. nhsInlnI..I.sn Inlnn..

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Anti-Anarchistic bin passed by
the French Chamber Of Deputies few
years ago may be cited as a contribution
10 the numerous proposals for the sup
precision Of the Anarchists which the
murderous attack upon President MclNin-
ley has called forth. One Of the notable
features of the bill was the provision Civ
ing the courts power TO prohibit news
papers from publishing any part Of the
trial Of an Anarchist under heavy penal
ties. Ii is said that this feature was in
serted to prevent the repetition of the
scenes which occurred al the trial OF the
Anarchist Henry, who was permitted "a
lexploit his anarchistic views in court with
extraordinary vOluhility and freedom
lone OF the French commentators ON the
Henry trial said:
This trial. by its publicity alone, viii
do more evil than all the revolutionary
journals and all the anarchical preaching
could do in several years"
The bill deprived anarcefstic prisoner
0f the cOmmutatiOn of sentence 0rdinaril,
allowed convicts for good behavior. Al
2 persons convicted Of Anarchist propa
J lganda" were made subject TO fine and i'm
t. lprsonment. The phrase Anarchist pror
aganda" was defined 10 be the advOcac
or approval of murder, arson, etc, wheth
r er declared in public or in private, an
the term covered the circulation Of m
. archistic writings. Under che bill IN
courts were given the power Go substitut
5 banishment for life To penal colony "a
Imprisonment in France. and il was d
a rected that an Anarchist convicted OF

clerk who does not squander mis- EN-
ployers money, the man I'm office who
does not steal?
We repeat what we have so often
|said. that there are types Of reformerH
who do their cause injury by over
zeal: and their spectacular efforts fan
because men realize the full truth is
not shown. Do you know Of a man in
office who is conscientious. who does
not steal or seek to squander the hard
earnings of the poor? Why not dwell
upon him for a time? Why not use
him in contrast? Why not do him
justice?
Men frequently fall into the vicious
habit OF being violent when they want
to say something strong These utter
ances often einanate from those who
do not know OF single SPECIFIC in
stance OF the wrongdoing they
charge. There are such, nevertheless.
lt is unfair to inferentially put AL
men into a class There are many rob
bers. but there are thousands Of vir-
tuous persons for every criminal.
The Every Evening delights in such
articles. and is eager in spreading the
gospel OF discomfort. It is in the
slough OF pessimism, and reminds us
of the condition of David when he
said "all men are liars" But David
repented Of his utterance. Leave OFF
this sackcloth. cease these doleful
wailings: Woe Is me! woe is mel"
Let in .ittle sunlight; it is healthier,
and you will be much pleasanter 10

.DRNRRTBD WAGON
FOUND IN Ditch
Search Made for Horse and
Driver But EeiLhOr
Found

A colored man coming from New
Castle 20 this city early this morning
saw a huge black dog sitting motion
less on the bank of a ditch, between
the Wilmington and Northern and p,
w. & B. tracks.
On investigating. he found an over
turned wagon in the ditch. A black
SLOUGH hat was floating on the water
and as the dog whined pitifully at his
approach the colored man, fearing that
someone had been drowned, pulled of
his shoes and waded around in the
ditch.
Nothing could be found, however
and the search apparently satisfied thu
dog. for it abandoned its vigil anC
started OFF in the direction of New Cai

Neither the wagon nor the dog coulC

From all appearances, Frank Alice
has lost his political pull with many
of the Kent county Republican politi-

pledges to Addicks and is unable to
lget any Federal patronage for the hun

to have lost his hand. Probably that
is one reason why there is to be a con-

London, Sept. 9.-The contents of the
afternoon papers consist largely OF the
news about President McI<inley's condi-
tion. The papers all express the warmest
sympathy with the President and the
American people. They also urge that
the strongest measures be taken for the
suppression Of anarchy
The Globe says: However objection
able eX post factO legislation may be
deemed as q rule, this ease is clearly one
that calls for the passage by Congress Of
a special act. II is simply monsirOus that

Nor poLIrros Rur ANAR0HY

There is a manifest effort on the
part of certain New York papers to at
tribute the state OF mind which could
conceive the dastardly attack on the
President to political utterances.
There Is no doubt that many who
have failed to agree with the Admins
tratlon have been Incorporate. They
have uttered sentiments which have
shown a lack OF thatLrespect which
Is due our Chief Executive. Cartoon
lists. inspired by the management CT
certain journals of the yellow type,
have prostituted their art to producing
distorted pictures that were intended
20 teach distorted facts. But while all
this was in vicious taste, and improper
under any circumstances, 1t was not
remotely responsible for the dastardly
attack on the President.
In this country great liberty is al
lowed in the expression OF political
opinion. II does not stop with the
election Of men to Office, but is held as
a right. dear TO every American, to
criticise anybody or anything. But
such criticism. while it frequently goes
too far. is not usually prompted by
malice. Il is not directed against the
integrity OF our government. II Is like
that criticism OF persons in the home
that resents outside interference, and
at bottom. whatever questionable
form It may take. is not inspired by
evil intent
Every President from Washington TO
Mckinley has been severely arraigned;
every one has been the subject Of Vi
tuperation and abuse. But in few in
stances has 1t taken a dangerous form;
and in no instance has II been directed
against al. government. The present
crime is not in the true sense political;
It is due to a spirit antagonistic 20
all government. II is the frenzied act
of those who hold the whole world at
enmity. Il is the act Of the savage
beast. that would tear its fellow crea-
lures 70 pieces simply for the lust OF
blood.
America should be great enough e
cope with this evil without tyran
nously seeking to close the mouths o.

without an intent OF overturning on
institutions. or melting men to VIC
