What Shall We Do With Them,

There is scarcely o doubt but that
the assassination of three Presidents
within third of century, will lead
to some national provision for dealing
with the dangerous class OF alien pop.
ulation who flock to our country un.
der the delusion that freedom means
license to do evil, and who, influenced
by heredity, and imbued from child.
hood with disposition to resist any
and all forms of government, are ready
to strike down those who are the EN-.
bodiment of the will of seventy mil.
lions of people for ensuring good gov.
eminent.
If these people, through the cruelty
OF despotism are insane, then asylums
large enough and strong enough to
hold all who, under that mistaken
and perverted privilege of freedom oil
speech, assemble to foment discomfort
and nerve the assassin's arm to strike
down the whole people through their
chosen representatives, should be i'm
mediately provided and filed. II the
motive is guided by scentilla Of rea.
son, the attempt to kill the head OF the
nation should be followed by no less
than the placing of the individual be-
yond the means OF inflicting further
misfortune. The limits of treason
should be extended to that scope
Dreadful experience has demonstrated
this to be necessary, unless some other
adequate remedy may be discovered.

Rather Impetuous.

While the new President announced
when he took the oath OF Office that it
would be his aim "to continue abso-
lutely unbroken the policy OF President
Mckinley for the peace, prosperity
and honor Of the country" he did not
wait until the funeral OF his prede-
cessor was over, before he began to
outline what he conceived to be a con-
tinuance of that policy. This is in
accord with the impetuous, mercurial
nature of the new President, and is in
marked contrast with the deliberate
methods of his more careful and palms.
taking predecessor. Roosevelt may be
on excellent man to make charge for
taking strategic position, but poor
general to plan the details of a cam
paign. He might have better assur.
ance of winning in a game of bluff
than one of diplomacy; while he is
brave and educated, his power is weak
ened by impulsiveness, and his knowl-
edge, we fear, is not overcharged with
the sagacity Of craftsmanship.
The sudden announcement OF his
policy does not seem to accord with
that deliberation so solemnly promised
when he was indicted into office.
While the views he is said to have
expressed do not materially depart
from that promise, it has been noted
that it will be for more positive shade
of governmental policy. For instance,
President Mckinley was for some
change in the tariff and q modified
form of reciprocity exchange; Presi.
dlnt Roosevelt is for extending that
form of purchase and sale OF commod-
tiles SO that the over production of the
country may be disposed Of by fair
and equitable arrangement with other
counties" He favors likewise aboli.
ton of tariff duty on such foreign
goods rs are no longer needed for rev.
enue, if suclr abolition can be done
without harm to our industries and
labor. The addition of this saving
clause hardly bars it from the charge
OF . slump from the Republican doc
trine of the true object of all tariff
protection Of American industries"
The other outlines are so Familiarity
recognized as Administration policies
that we fail to see why they should be
obtruded at time when the hearts of
men are not surcharged with details
OF party management. It may be.
however, that the object OF the new
Chief Executive will appear later on
in affairs.

DEFANERsi-A story OF the midship.
men days of Admiral Schley is appro-
pirate at this time, and may afford an
inkling of the methods by which he
discomfits his enemies. There were
aboard the war-ship he served on, q
couple of monkeys, which climbed
over everything and were the subject
of much discomfort from their mis-
chievious pranks. Young Schley was
deputized to impose some means of
restraint. He took the animals to .
secluded spot near the cat-heads and
creased their tails nicely from the
slush-pot. That was all; the mon
keys did the remainder of the act.
When they climbed aloft, the simian
hold was broken soon as the ship gave
a lurch, and the monkeys fell into the
water. They were rescued, but kept
shut up after that. History has re.
peated itself. and those who have ran
up against the gallant Admiral have
taken quite as unexpected a plunge,
from some cause. Will the moral
serve it's purpose?

Harrisburg, Ill. She is a daughter OF

listening to the bulletins detailing
the facts of the Presidents assassina-

event. An hour afterwards she was
visited by committee of enraged cit
liens, who requested her to leave
town by the train next morning, and
at early dawn she was escorted to the
cars by the Town Marshal.

A Contemplate Aspersion.

When papers have maligned the Pres
ident as weak and vicious, and discover
at the sound of pistol shot that he has
all the time been to the country a safe
guard in time of peril, they make a con-
fession, the full force of which they do
not realize-7dcoma Ledger.
The smallness of the mind which
can thus misrepresent the heartfelt
expressions of grief and sympathy of
those who have opposed the Presiden-
tial policy, over the event which has
bowed down the heart of every patriot
in profoundest grief, is beyond COM
prehension. If to criticize is to ina
lign," and if "the sound of a pistol
shot" is necessary to awaken the con-
sentative masses to the fact that every-
body charged with maintenance of
law is safeguard to the public in
time of peril, then the innuendo might
have some force.
The writer of such structures is not
as silly as he appears in print. He
knows very we'll the difference between
legitimate criticism OF public acts and
personal abuse, and he ought to know
that when the heart is attuned to
sympathy it can find no place for the
cold facts of logic, nor pass austere
judgment upon one stricken down in
the prime of life by the red-handed
assassin. The eight millions of hon
est voters who protested against the
policy of the late President, at the last
general election, do not abate in the
slightest degree their devotion to prin-
ciple, in expression OF just as sincere a
grief as is felt by party friends over
the Presidents cruel death. 1t should
be conceded that while his opponents
have necessarily found much to con-
denim in an adverse administration,
they have doubtless discovered traits
to admire fn the man. While this is
true, it is not the custom of either
party, or a habit of civilization, to
laud, or even voluntarily acknowledge.
the virtues of an implacable opponent,
in either politics, religion, social pres.
tige or business. That is left for
those united with such leaders, in
promoting common object, to do.
The late visit Of President McKin-
ley to the west served to show, that
notwithstanding his earnest partisan
ship, he was received everywhere as
the President OF the people, and some
of the most marked evidences of re-
gard were bestowed by prominent
men who have never sympathized
with, nor supported him, politically.
1t had been hoped that this great
occasion for national grief would be
passed without an exhibition of the
petty, inane, despicable vaporings OF
some greedy expectant Of crumbs
from the pie-table. who Involuntary
gives expression to the desire to ex.
clude possible obtruders on what he
seemingly regards as his vested rights.
But it appears we were mistaken.

adopted strong resolutions of condol-

it was known that the result OF the
assassin's bullet would end in death.

A PRETTY romance is connected
with the selection OF the Elks' queen
at the Mt. Carmel, Illinois, Carnival, q
fortnight ago. Miss Ollie Harper was
chosen. She is a brunette, 10 years of
age, and very beautiful. and she was
one of % contestants. 1t seems that
several weeks before John Robinson's
circus visited that little city and Miss
Harper sat in carriage, watching the
procession. James Robinson, riding
with the procession of bis show,
caught sight of the girl, and, attract.
ed BY her beauty, asked who she was.
That afternoon Ne sought an intro.
duction and visited the family. A
week later he sent the girl a diamond
ring and q sum of money which he
asked the family TO use in ascertain.
ing his character and standing.
When the contest opened for queen,
he sent $1,000 to a local bank with in
structions to use it in electing Miss
Harper queen.

"HARvE" Scott of the Oreqonian,
and Senator Turner are having q tilt
over the money question, an issue the
former has declared dead and buried
beyond hope Of resurrection. It seems,
however, that he begrudged the Sena.
tor the privilege Of paving over the
dry bones, and commented in his we'll.
known sarcastic vein upon an inter.
view lately furnished the press by Mr..
Turner, in which the cardinal points
OF the monetary controversy, a. fixed
by the Oregonian, were ruthlessly
swept aside, and other meets and
bounds outlined. Mr.. Scott declares
that Turner is mistaken in his opin.
ions, and further on that he knows
better and is demagogue. With this
double hitch, il is no wonder that he
fioored the Senator, but while pros.
trate he manages to hurl back the epi.
thets of "ignoramus," "charlatan''
and "bieot."

A Devilish Confession Of Faith.
The opening articles in the anar-
chist's creed proceed as follows:

cnlSt creed proceed as follows
al believe in no God,
II believe in no hereafter.
81 believe in no civilization.
IL believe in no marriage"
These are the tour cardinal virtues
constituting the four principal planks
i'll the platform upon which all openly
avowed anarchists are required to
stand in the relations they sustain to
each other and the outside world.
Note the essential consistency be-
tween the first and second articles. ii
there be no God, what need is there
of even the possibility of hereafter?
1t is difficult to formulate scheme
of intelligent existence or point out
what would be the state of society
governed by snch principles as are
herein inculcated. Man, at his best
estate, is corrupt enough to shock the
angels in heaven; then what must he
be when left to his own evil devices?
Moses paints gruesome picture OF
the fore-wOrid's society as it existed
just previous to the deluge, and one
declaration of his comes to our rescue
in the task that confronts US, the task
of defining the ultimate outcome OF
unrestrained anarchism:
"And the earth was filled with vio-
lence. GENESIS, vii iii.
Next after the four articles Just
quoted the anarchist creed is embel-
lished by these four fiendish affirma-
tons:
I" All property is robbery.
All government is tyranny.
Right and wrong are mere preju-
dices..
81 believe in the red flag OF anarchy"
Now treason is terrible to contem-
plate, and in all civilized and enlight-
ened countries this crime has for its
recompense the death pena lty; but
if there is anything blacker than trea-
son, then without question it is the
appalling faith OF the modern anar-
chist.
Finally, as if devised by the prince
of darkness himself and written in
blood, this hellish document winds up
as follows:
"The rich man and the ruler are the
proper food for gunpowder and dyna-
mite.
81 am sworn to live and die by this
creed"
Swear! Does he, indeed? By what
power greater than himself is he
sworn, it he believes not in God? As
there was none greater than he, Jeho.
yah could only swear by himself. Ju.
piter, the king Of all the heather
deities swore by the frightful realms
of Tartarus. The Romans swore by
their father Jupiter and the Greeks by
the sovereignty of the great Zeus.
But here comes the anarchist, a ma
tural born child Of the Devil, though
clothed in human guise. and believing
in nothing save hell and destruction,
" swearing" to live aud die by his
creed
