Ihere is a good deal of nonsense he
ing printed about this time concerning
the freedom of the press and of speech.
There is also good deal of even more
dangerous nonsense being put forward in
connection with anarchy as an express
sion of social science The sentiment
expressed in both relations is of that
cheap variety which operates to secure for
its author a reputation among the ig-
norant of strenuous attachment to the
principles of individual liberty.
1t can be very easily shown that while
the people of the United States have been
living in fancied security against the as
saults of the homicidal fraternity callino
themselves anarchists, MaIatesta ana
scoundrels Of his type have been carving
on their propaganda of assassination
among the poor, the ignorant and the
weak in American cities whose poverty
and shiftlessness are mistaken by them
selves as the result of evil government.
1t is from among this type that Czolgosz
was recruited. 'Bresci was another poor
devil who was led to his fate through the
teachings and influence of such frebrands
as Goldman, Most, Malatesta and Isaak.
Because anarchism may be preached
without direct Indictment to assassina-
ton, we are asked to throw open the
fioodgates Of speech and press so that
these honicidal maniacs may have COM
plete license to carry on their campaign
of assassination
The organs and mouthpieces of these
policy of assassination and extol the acts
of the assassins. Malatesta holds out in
London. He is liable to appear anywhere
at any time. His work is done among
the poor foreign residents of our cities.
with whom he mingles, and who look up
on him as a demi-god
Bresci's wife is being exploited among
these people, and her presence is made an
Indictment to just such deeds as that of
her husband. These people are plotting
day by day against the safety of the
state. They maintain an incendiary press
at different points. They extol assassina-
ton and make social chaos the be-aIl-and-
end-aH of their teachings
The apostles of free speech tell us that
we should not place muzzle on those
people. They should be allowed to carrv
on their conspiracy against the public
safety unmolested. Their publications
must be allowed to- appear, and unless
they print something which tends to a
breach of the public peace they must
be given free circulation through the
postoffice and private agencies. To do
less is to impeach the great principIe
which lies at the very basis of American
free government, as these liberal-mindad
persons understand that principle.
But such view is not shared in by the
bulk of the American people. It is in
consistent with the maintenance of a
government of law and liberty. Such
human vermin should be destroyed. The
man who will place the chosen ruler
of this people on the same plane of
accountability for individual and collect
i've suffering as the result of the oppres-
sions of government with the heads Of

or a social and political mailman. 10
allow the doctrines which lead to this
conclusion to be given free expression is
to invite just such acts of haif-crazed
self-consciousness as that which led
Czolgosz to destroy an exalted life
under the vain delusion that he was
aiming at the permanence of American
political and social systems.
The sooner this sort of maudlin tom
foolery is brought to an end and the
laws changed so as to enable the police
to exercise steady and intelligent sur
VIGILANCE over these people-the sooner
will they be made to learn that in the
United States they have selected the
wrong country in which to carry on their
operations.

4 BEL4rED EXPLANATION.

The statement of Col. Thompson, pres
ident of the Naval Academy Alumni as
scciation, made public through the AS
sociated Press, concerning the connec-
ton of Admiral Sampson with the So
called Maclay history, is a very impor-
tant announcement. and if it is sustain
able by the facts will have some meas
ure of influence at least in removing
the very unfortunate impression which
now prevails. No gentleman in any
walk of life should remain an hour I'M
der the imputation which the implied
charge Of cowardice against Commodore
Schley casts upon the good name of
Admiral Sampson.
The statement presents to the informed
reader many allegations which are sur
prising in themselves. According to the
published and undenied statement attrib-
uted to Admiral Sampson, he read the
proofs of that history and did nothing
TO correct their calumnies. He. according
ly, is reported as declaring that the re-
sponsibility for the statements of the
publication might therefore be said to
rest upon him to some extent at least.
Col. Thompson now assures the coun-
try that Admiral Sampson when the
proofs were submitted to him denounced
the charge of cowardice made against
Schley, and refused to have anything
further to do with the proofs in ques-
tion.
If this be the fact a grievous injustice
has been done to Admiral Sampson and
it has been in progress for a long time
It is unfortunate for the general accept
ability of the declaration of Col. Thomp-
Son that it should come at almost the
precise moment when the utterly I'M
founded and caluminous charge of cow
ardice against Schley is being disproved
in manner which justifies the highest
ercomiums which his friends have be-
slowed on that officer. Why was all
this not made public before? ny did
Admiral Sampson not repudiate all re-
sponsibility for that work? Why did he
nor his friends never deny the assump-
Eion of responsibility on his part which
the press of the country printed? Why
did his counsel in seeking to have him
made a party to the investigation not
ds--vow on his behalf all responsibility
for the statements of the Maclay history,
SO far as they reflected on the personal
honor OF his Dear schley?"
For the honor of the American navy
every American will wish that the pub
lished statement of Col. Thompson will
be found correct so far as it relates to
Admiral Sampson, notwithstanding that
all existing conditions and, indeed. the
pending investigation itself, are in direct
contravention of the truth of it's state
ments That investigation has appar-
emily reached point now at which it
IS safe to suggest that Admiral samp-
son cannot very well continue to occupy
the official position which he does unless
he is able to make full amends for the
grievous wrong which he is being held
chiefly responsible for having done to
a brother officer.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT CANCER.

Leslie's Weekly.
Significant facts in regard to cancer,
it's nature and causes, are brought OUT
in a recent publication by DR.; irving
Phillips Lyon, pathologist to the UNI
versity of Buffalo, based on extensive
and prolonged Investigations in that Guy.
DR.. Lyons studies lead him to favor the
parasitic origin of cancer and to regard
it as associated with certain localities,
races and modes of life. The figures LOT
the period of nineteen years QSSO to iSSS)
showed that German wards In Buhalo,
with a mean population of lO4,I5S' hao
sSS cases of death from cancer. WhIe
those inhabited largely by nativeoDorIn
Americans, with population OF lO9,ozi'
had. $50 cases. Tie German" wards IN
clude Poles, as the latter came from
German Poland, and it was found I'M
possible to separate the two races On
the other hand, the Italian quarters,
though densely populated, showed a low
ratio of cancer mortality. The highest
cancer ratio prevailed among the Irish
population, viz, $40 times that OF the
native Americans; then came Germans
and Poles, whose ratio was 4.S1, while
among the Italians it was the lowest Of
all foreigners, viz, 1893. In the native
born Americans the male cases of cam
Ger were to the female cases as 80 or 81
to 100.

IN AycHoR TO W1NDWAnD.


May public official utilize the knowl-
edge gained through his office to increase
his bank account? Is he justified in sell
ing tips on state secrets for cash? Nav
he advise friends to invest in what he
knows as an official to be a sure thing
with a promise of share of the profits?
May he without violating the ethics of
his profession bet his own money on what
he knows is sure thing? In short, is it
competent for a trustee of the public to
take advantage of his position to cast an
anchor to windward?
1t is quite evident that the men who
make and administer our laws, who shape
and execute policies, as well as those
whose business is national defense, would
with very few exceptions, answer these
questions in the affirmative.
Meiklejohn, he of Nebraska, he who fig
ured as assistant secretary of war and re-
signed to try his luck as a candidate for
the United States senatorship, believes
that officials have a perfect right to in
vest in business enterprises to help out
their salaries. The Heistand investiga-
ton is bringing this question of official
ethics to the front and the testimony of
the ex-assistant secretary of war; so far
as 1t bears on the ethical phase of the
question, is in keeping with, not only the
theory but the practice of a majority of
our public officials. Many of our public
men have, during a few terms of office
managed in some way to accumulate
fortunes. When they retire from official
life the most of them are on easy street.
To the people, this seems somewhat pe-
culiar. The salaries paid public servants.
while sufficient to allow them to discharge
the duties of their offices unsecured by the
wolf at the door, are not sufficient to
serve even as foundation for COM
Portable fortune.
To assume that they use their official
positions for private gain would be to

all honorable men. How do they accumu-
late? BY taking dvantage of the knowl-
edge obtained in their official capacity.
They are given mining stock for the use
Of their names; they are let in on the
ground floor in various promoting
schemes; they receive courtesies from
their political friends-friends who may
want something in the future. oh no, these
courtesies will lave no influence what
ever on their future conduct in national
affairs. At least, so they say and so they
think. But so far, the officials of this
great country have been common NOR
tails. No exception to this rule has as
yet been recorded. Did not Mr.. Blaine
advise friend to cast an anchor to wind
ward? They tell us, and it is no doubt
true, that a public servant must do this
the game are both legitimate. If an off,
cial, who is a public trustee, may use
his official knowledge to invest in an
enterprise over which he may in the fu-
Iuhc nave legislative UT executive COn-
troll, and profit by that Investment, why
can he not advise a friend to invest and
share the profits with him? If he may
DO this, why can he not give tips for
money consideration? If we condemn
the last, why not the first Where will
the line be drawn? The public official,
either civil or military, is paid by the
government Ghe people, for his services
as public trustee. A trustee who uses his
trust for private gain is compelled to
turn over the proht thus made to the
qrestui qui trust. Why should this rule
of law not apply to official trustees?
If it were possible for men in office to
se>1rate their private interests from the
pN~iic interests, when they come to act
in public capacity, the case would be
different. The weakness of the average
man in matters where his private inter-
ests are involved is so well known that
the law will not allow a judge to try
case against a city in which he is
large property owner, lest his private
interest influence the free action of his
judgment. If our judges are liable to
such influences, what are we to con-
clude regarding the ordinary politician?

fruits, not of New York vice, as is SO
generally understood, but through taking

BRYAN'St NEW HOUSE.

New York World.
Oct. was the seventeenth anniversary
of the marriage of William J. Bryan
and his wife, and also the fourteenth
anniversary of their arrival in Lincoln.
They celebrated the event by laying the
corner stoneo of fine house they pro-
pose to erect on the Bryan farm, in the
southeastern suburb of Normal.
The house at No. 1925 D street, the
Mecca of So many Democrats in years
past, is apt to be sold and all of the
family effects removed to the farm. The
site chosen for the house is on a high
knoll overlooking the city.
Mr.. Bryan will merely potter about the
place, the actual farming being done by
a hired man. He expects to live the
remainder of his days in this rural re-
treat.

factories here there is no disagreement.
Fuel is one of the primary costs of
manufacture, and wherever there is cheap
fuel there are plenty of manufacturing
enterprises. The superior shipping facil-
tiles of this, port, its nearness to the pro-

people say, which has stood in the way
of the increase in the number of fac
tories has been the inability to get cheap
fuel. 1t is believed that the development
of the oil industry has solved this prob

BALLADE OF LITERARY LETTERS.

Of old it was an easy thing
To write letter to ones dear.
To line the words we felt, and cling
To simple sentiments and clear;
But times are sadly changed, we hear
Love grows enanloured of the mint;
We pen our lines with care and fear
Our letters must be fit to print.
No more in our accustomed way
We say the tender things we mean;
Our letters may be made to play
A part in book or magazine.
All me! They once by one were seen
We did not have to hedge or hint;
But now the public comes between
Our letters must be fit to print.

A man sought friends without demur,
Or left his watch in Shylock's hold,
Or starved or stole. as he'd prefer;

And HES him to a publisher
