"As we understand the term, no an

rope it may be that they have a diff
ferent conception of the term. Here
we look upon the anarchists as a class
who are determined to destroy free
government, men who belong to the
worst class of criminals and have no
sense of right. I can understand why
men seek the lives of tyrannical rulers
there is a reason for it-but why any
one would assassinate the president of
the United States, I cannot cOmpre-
bend. No rational man would do it.
How to deal with the question is a
serious matter. We can't exclude all

The attempt on the life of the presi-
dent recalls the names of Lincoln and
Garfield, both victims of the assasin's
bullet
On the evening of April IA, 1865, the
president, Mrs. Lincoln, Miss Clara
Harris and Major Rathbone, u. S. A,
occupied a box near the stage in Ford S
theatre, Washington.
John Wilkes Booth, a southern sym
pathizer and a professional actor, had
cOnspired with others to take the pres
ident's life on the first convenient Op-
pOTtunity. His chance clrne that night.
He approached the box from the rear
at 1920 o'clock and, while all persons
were absorbed in the business Of the
play, cTept UP in the rear of the pres
ident and. holding a pistol within a
few inches of the base of the brain,
fired. The ball entered the brain and
Lincoln fell forward insensible. Booth
escaped from the theatre. but was run
down and consumed in a burning barn
while resisting arrest.
After the shooting the president was
carried to a house on the opposite side
of the street where he fingered between
life and death for some hours. At 7:22
o'clock on the morning of April Is the
great emancipation breathed his last.
President Garfield received the wound
that caused his death on July ?. 1881

JUDGE o. W. POWERS.
No PaIliation Whatever For the
Crime

My idea is that when an anarchist
of Nieman's type is found he should be
taken to the Atlantic ocean and given
a chance for his life by swimming back
to the place he came FROM, said
Judge Powers when asked for an ex-
preston of his sentiments. anarchists
of this type should be shut out from
this country, for there is no place for
them here. There should certainly be
an exclusive law enacted, forbidding
any person belonging to an oath-bound
society which is bent on assassinating
the chief executive of this nation or
taking the life of any person without
justification to land on American soil,
and the necessity of such law seems
more urgent now.
AS to the shooting of President Nc
Kinley, there can be only one opinion.
deplOring and cOndemning the act.
There is no palliation whatever for the
crime. The country is not stirred by
the excitement incident to a political
campaign, the nation is prospecting and
everything is quiet and orderly and no
excuse whatever can be offered by So
cial conditions prompting a resort to
such methods as this anarchist has
used. No sane man would do such an
act"

TWO PRESIDENTIAL MARTYRS,
VICTIMS OF ASSASSINATION

in the station of the Baltimore & POtO-
mac railroad at Washington, after
serving less than four months of his
presidential term He went to the sta
ton to take a train for New England,
in company with his secretary of state.
James G. Blaine. The party passed
through the door which opened into the
ladies' waiting room. Among the peo-
pie in the room was Charles Jules
Guiteau. AS the president walking
arm in arm with the secretary, passed
this man he turned, made a step in
their direction, and, drawing a revolver
from his pocket, fred deliberately at
Garfield The latter said nothing, but
turned and. with a surprised, but not
excited, look. gazed at Guiteau- Secre-
tary Blaine Sprang to one side. Guiteau
recOcked his revolver and deliberately
fired again at the president, who fell
to the floor, covered with blood Guiteau
fed, dropping his pistol as he went,
but was almost Immediately captured
Although the presidents death was eX-
pected hourly by his physicians he Linz
gered until Sept 19, when he died at
ElberOn cottage near Long Branch.
Guiteau was a disappointed Office seek

acquainted with or stands closer to the
president than Senator Thomas Kearns.
THO news of the attempted assassina-
ton was, therefore. a severe shock 10
him. President Mckinley was my
good friend" Senator Kearns said. Il
don't know of any bereavement out
side of my own immediate family that
could have affected me more than this.
In the attack upon the president we
are brought face to face with anarchy,
aiming at a shining mark. His death
was sought not because Of national or
fractional differences, not in frenzied
vengeance for supposed party or per-
Sonal wrongs, not because of enmity
to the character or disapproval Of the
acts or dislike Of the person Of the
president, the chief executive of a land
of free men-his only fault that he was
the upholder of the law.
There can be no palliation for this
ofense. President Mckinley's hand
was always held out in friendly and
equal cordiality to the highest or the
lowest of his countrymen. Like Lin
coin, he was always within easy reach
of any citizen who had a wrong to be
r,ghted or & cause to be advanced. No
pride Of place, no Gordon of detectives,
no executive guard. no pOmp or Osten-
tatiOn kept him from daily contact with
the humblest of his countrymen. To
all he showed the life Of a pure and
high- minded citizen"
Speaking of the necessity for keeping
foreign anarchists out of this country,
Senator Kearns said; The time has
come when the immigration laws
should be changed SO as to prevent Eu-
rope and the peOn countries Of the
world from unloading on our shores the
scum and criminals of the earth. As TO
the best way of getting at this result,
that is for the able men Of congress to
determine and consider"
OF the president as a man, Senator
Kearns felt that he could not speak
too highly. he was one Of the most
lovable men 1 ever knew" said he 81
have seen him with his desk piled high
with work and dozens of people wait
ing for him, but no matter how great
the pressure he never showed a trace
OF annoyance. There was a kindly
greeting for everybody at all times.
he was patient under all circuns tances
and Tut himself out for others more
than any man of my acquaintance.
His devotion to Mrs. Mckinley was
another beautiful trait. No matter
what business was on hand when a
message came from her he dropped
everything and went to her bedside.
! The extreme likelihood that she will
now outIive him seems travesty.'

W. S. MCCORMICK.
Believes That Every Anarchist
Should be Hanged.

Should be Hanged.
w. s. Mccormick remained at his
home last evening, and was much
shaken by the tragedy in which Pres
ident Mckinley was the victim.
The first report reached me-" he
said, when I was debating letters to
the stenOgrapher, and it unnerved me
to such an extent that 7 had to quit
work altogether. I consider President
Mckinley next to Lincoln. and his
death would be a serious personal loss
to every man. woman and child in this
nation. He has mad very complex
problems to solve. and he has conduct
ed himself in such a way through all
these trying times as to win for him
self a high place in the affections Of
the whole people. He has been demo-
cratic at all times, has mingled with
the people on all occasions, and has
tried at all times TO carry out the
wishes of the people. When such a
man is shot down in cold blood il looks
bad for the cause of free government.
AS to the anarchists and how they
should be treated. 1 believe that every
one of them should be hanged. Every
man who can be proved guilty of be-
longing to an anarchist society should
be executed. No, I don't believe we
should wait till they openly preach as
sasSinatiOn or perpetrate a crime: but
as soon as it can be proved that they
are anarchists they should be hanged
That IS the only way I can see for
stamping out the damnable curse"

CONGRESSMAN SUTHERLAND.
Says Immigration Laws Should be
Amended.

Says Immigration Laws Should be
Amended.
Congressman George Sutherland was
greatly shocked when ne learned that
President Mckinley had been shot. IF
he should die" said Mr.. Sutherland,
1.-THE whole American people, without
regard to politics, would so into mourn
ing. I think President Mckinley has
impressed his personality on the people
of the country more than any president
we have ever had.
His disposition is e sntially genial
and social. and he is nearer to the COM
mon people of the country than any
other chief magistrate with the possible
exception Of Lincoln. While everybody
may not agree with him in his political
beliefs and actions. everybody admired
him for his sterling qualities as a man.
His administration, has mad more diff
cult and complex governmental prob
lens to meet than that of any president
since the civil war and he has met
them in such a way as to rebound TO
his own everlasting credit and the
glory of the nation.
ut seems to me that our immigra-
ton laws ought to be very radically
amended think no foreigner ought
TO be admitted to the United States
unless he can produce a certificate from
our representatives, in the country from
which he comes showing that he has a
good moral character in his own com
munity, that he is self-supporting and
T, suficiently Informed with reference to
our institutions to make it certain that
he VIII be a respectable citizen here.
"The anarchists that we have in this
country. so far as L am informed, are
all of foreign birth and the amendment
suggested to the immigration law
would materially check their coming
over here. In this connection, too, it
Is worthy Of note that the troubles we
have from riOtous mobs in our great
cities and in commercial and industrial
ceuters comes from the foreign ele-
ment."
Mr. sutherland has met President
Mckinley on several occasions The
first time was in the summer of 1892,
when both We're delegates to the ma
tional- Republican convention of which
President Mckinley was permanent
chairman. Mr.. Sutherland says there
was a strong Mckinley spirit in that
convention. but the man from Ohio was
a frie-d of President Harrison When
the bsiio. was ordered and the vote of
ohio showed forty-four for Mckinley
and two for Harrison, Chairman Nc
Kinley rose from his seat advanced 70

Z suppose nothing can be done with
the anarchists except as they violate
the law" said James II. MOyle last
evening. Anything that viii exclude
criminal classes from this country is
desirable ard it may become necessary
to have such a law, but how to make
it effective without working an injus-
tice to those from the Old World who
are disposed to be good citizens, is the
problem. 1t is difficult to determine
who are anarchists who come here to
kill and who are not of this class. but
some legislation should be devised to
prevent a repetition OF such shocking
crimes as have been heard of with such
deep regret today.

sentiments over this frightful event
President Mckinley is regarded as a
humane man, his private life is rated
as beautiful and his domestic affairs
