Tomb

Canton. o., Sept. 3O.-What is sup
posed to have been an attempt to blow
up the tomb containing the remains OF
Presidenc Mckinley in Woodlow
Cemetery was frustrated by the mill airy
guards yesterday.
There are seventy regular sold'ere
from fort Wayne in the cemetery and
twenty men are constantly on duty
about the tomb.
Depend, a recruit stationed at the
tomb, saw the face OF man pcering
from behind tree about twenty yards
away. The man made sudden dart
forward and concealed himself again
behind another tree about ten yards
nearer the entrance.
Depreni challenged him, and as he
raised bis gun to his shoulder he was
struck from behind by man who at
tempted to stab him N the left side
Deprend says the man he saw in the
trees carried white parcel and some
thing glittering. His face was.plainly
4 visible.
\ The other, who struck him, was
masked. In the struggle Deprend iel
over the bank and the men made theil
escape from the cemetery.
Stories have been frequent in camp
Of late OF incendiary conversations over
heard crowds that have visited thu
cemetery, and one stranger is ALLEGED
to have said: "Lots of people would
Ike to see this whole thing blown
up"
| 4As closer Investigations is made into
the alleged assault on the guard a
McKinley's tomb last night, the frmel
becomes the belief or the authorities
that the attempt to overcome tb'
soldiers was due TO desire to blow
up the tomb.
Captain Biddle, in charge of tn
guard, declines to talk, but ha
siren 5thened the guard about tn
tomb.

From ali section of the State come
rsnorts of the dissatisfaction at the ac-

Constitutional Convention. That body
has been in session for over three
months and a-half and nov reports
come from Richmond that the members
are considering che ma ter oil Il Ding n

will meet and require Its hall IN the
capitol b aforethe convention Is throug

has done little else than talk; but few

acted uron and at present 1t is olincu''
TO tell when the framing OF tn new
constitution will be finished. The
br .ins of the State are undoubtedly
well represented IN the convention ou
there appears to be too many Sell H.
terests involved, 100 much log rolling
too much jockeying, and two much
demagogy; while there are many y0
who want to make speeches "to rel
themselves right before theIs con-
stituents." The acton Of the conven'
ton is certainly doing the democratic
party IN the State no good, and th'
repub leans are making capital OF every
misstep their opponents make. AS be-
fore suggested in the Gazette, the

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Some OF the Republican papers ar
suggesting limitations upon the free
dom of speech as cure for anarchy
Tbe editor of The Commoner has 81
much reason as any living man tt
know of the abuse sometimes heapec
mon candidates for Office. He has beer
the yict M of as much malice and
v;tnperation as have ever been employ
ed against an American, and yet he Is
opposed in placing any additional re-
stnction upon the freedom OF speech
or the freedom of the press
First because the evils Of restriction
are greater than the evils OF freedom,
and second, because abuse does not
hurt the man or the party made the
subject of attack. The death OF Presi-
dent Mckinley can not be traced to
ANYTHING ever spoken or written
against him. The assassin spoke affect
ionately of his victim and said that ne
killed him not because OF his dislike
for the man but because of his oppo-
sition to government ofary KIND
Some who are engaged in schemes
which will not bear the light will shield
them selves behind the murderous deed
of The assassin and cenounce freedom
OF speech because they do not want the
public to be informed of Their dolnga.
Others, stirred b. righteous lndig-
na1on. strike at free speech because
some have abused the Latitude allowed.
1t is time for liberty loving citizens to
protest against the attempt to suppress
free spt ech, The warfare must be
against anarchy, not against freedom
of speech. Anarchy is an European
product and tnrives most where there
is leas. freedom of speech and least
freedom of the press. Let us not ma e
the mistake of undermining our
institnti, ms under the delusion that
we are thus protecting those institu-
lions.
Free speech and free press are
essential 10 free government. NO man
in public life can object to the publ
cation of the truth and no man IN
public life is permanently injured by
the publication Of lie. That much Is
Published that should not be IS only
too Evident, but let public opinion
correct the evil; that will be more
effective than law and will bring no
danger with it. If paper abuses a
polilicsl opponent stop your subscrip-
ton ard teach the editor to conduct
his paper on respectable lines. There
is a sense of justice ultimately turns
abuse TO the benefit of the man abused.
The present laws agains. Islander and
hoe are sufficient; leave the rest TO a
healthy public senument--and lne
help 10 create the sentiment line
Commoner.
