prisonment al solitary confinement, as
has been recommended. The object OF
punishment is twofold-to serve as an
example to others and to protect society
by removing the criminal from a posi-
ton where he might further endanger
lives and liberties. AS to the deterrent
effect OF the punishment upon others, life
imprisonment would probably serve as
we'll as capital punishment. Conspira-
tors against the life of a ruler or high
official of our own or any country, when
the conspiracy results in the death OF
the person plotted against, should be held
equally guilty with the one by whose
blow death is inflicted, and all doubt
should be removed, so that there should
be provided the same degree OF punish
ment as for the murderer.
Laws should also be enacted making it
prisonment, either in writing or by spok-
en- words, to incite to violence against the
life Of any person. This law should be,
however, carefully safeguarded so that
it would not interfere with the rights OF
free speech guaranteed by the constltu-
ton. Indictment to acts Of general vlo-
lence during a strike or other disturb
ance, for instance, should not be pun
ished so severely. The law should espe-
cially aim to- prevent the promulgating
and teaching Of the doctrine. of anarchy.
There is. in my opinion, no necessity
for amending the constitution Of the Unit
ed States to secure proper laws for the
treatment Of anarchy. State laws are or
can be made amply sufficient, and the
prosecution for conspiracy or other outs
cropping Of anarchy properly belongs IN
the State where the crime is committed.
Convictions are more readily and quick
ly secured, also, under: the State laws.
At present the punishment provided by
the federal statutes for such crimes as
have been mentioned is wholly INSULT
cient. No one has thought of the posi-
bility of anarchy and. attempts upon the
Presidents life, and hence there is none
in force where Congress has jurisdiction
to sufficiently punish the criminals and
avert such calamities as that at Buffalo
Anarchy differs from rebellion in that
| it opposes all law and seeks the over
throw Of all government. 1t is crime
not against nation but against civil
! ization, and must be so treated.

In turn.
Through his contact with foreigners
Ii became impressed with the adVan-
tages of western methods and these he
introduced in his own province OF re-
Chilli. 10 do so he had to run counter
to the rooted customs Of centuries ana
often his work was retarded. AS grand
secretary of the empire, which he be-
came in 1875, he was the negOt!ator
Of treaties with foreign nations ana
thus his name became we'll known in
all civilized countries having CONNER

And then came the war with Japan,
which proved the rottenness Of Chi

was whipped, both army and navy, ow-
ing to the ignorance of the Chinese,
being practically worthless. Ii became
the scapegOat of that war, which he
neither counseled nor countenanced.
and suffered degradation by an ignor-
ant and stupid court on account Of it.
He negotiated the terms Of peace, how
ever, and gained the best possible. He
was transferred to the obscure prov
inces of Kwang-Si and Kwang-Tung
as viceroy, where he remained until
called to interpose his influence and
offices between the enraged Christian
world and those responsible for the
Boxer outrages. The subsequent ncgo-
tiaticns on behalf Of the imperial
court were carried on by him.
Ii has been reckoned as one of the
wealthiest men in the world, but this
statement may be doubted. In this
country Ii will be long remembered
for his inquisitiveness. He was an I'M

CHlNA'S GRAND OLD MAN.
In Iii Hung Change Death the Orient
A%" Loses Its Greatest Man,

In Ii Hung Change Death the Orient
Loses Its Greatest Man.
In the death Of Ii Hung Chang the
ancient empire of China has lost It's
most powerful and greatest citizen and
oriental civilization its most distin~
guished; exponent. Our own Gen. Grant
ranked him with Bismarck and Clad
stone, and in return for the compliment
Ii compared Grant to himself. The
great Chinamap had an unbounded adj
miration for the hero of App0mattox,
whom he entertained when the latter
was making tour Of the world, and
every year after Gen. Grants death
he had wreath placed on his grave.
When Ii visited this country on tour
OF the world he planted a tree by Gen.
Grants tomb in Riverside Park, New
York.
Ii Hung Chang was not a leader of
his people by birth or hereditary rank.
He was not even of the blood Of the
ruling caste, the Manchus. He was of
old Chinese stock and was born In
1S22-the same year as Gen. Grant. He
first came into prominence during the
awful Tapping rebellion, which DESC
lated China for fourteen years, costing
2O.OOO,OOO lives and incalculable tinan-
c1al loss. Ii raised regiment Of mill
tia and attacked the rebels on their
march toward Pekin. He gained notice
by this and was promoted. First with
the aid of Gen. Ward. an American,
and next with Gen. Gordon, who SUBJ
sequently met tragic fate in the Sou
dan, he organized and disciplined an
army and ultimately crushed out the
rebellion. For this service he was pro-
noted to be governor of the metropoli-
tan province Of Pe-chi-li, and here he
ruled with autocratic sway for a quar-
ter of century. He was the buffer

1.-THE WOMAN DID IT."

a Pointed Conversation Overheard in
the Street Car.
Since the time of Adam men have
been laying the blame for all the ills
In the world to women. Do they fail
in business-the women Of the family
did it. Do they become inebriates--
they were driven to drink by the fri
volity OF their wives and daughters.
Do they wear shabby clothes and be-
come careless about the cut of thei:
hair-the extravaganza of those who
are dependent on them has divorced
them from their pride and left them
nothing but rags to wear.
Even those of the sterner sex who
admit that their forefather of the
Garden Of Eden was hardly gallant
and was bit of coward are prone
themselves to put the blame where it
doesn't belong sometimes. There was
a man in car yesterday who was ap-
parently of this class. He wore the
conventional afternoon dress of frock
coat, striped trousers and tall hat, and
every time he leaned toward his COM
panion the pile of his immaculate
headgear came in contact with the
prow-like brim of her hat and was
rubbed the wrong way.
After the man had repaired the dam
age twice his patience gave out.
you'll never get me to wear silk
hat again when you are wearing that
thing on your head. so you needn't ask
me to-" he exploded-his tone was the
irritated one of relative.
Il didn't ask you to wear it this time,
did I?' asked the woman.

not going to spoil an IS hat for your
