A man is never dangerous so long
as he has hope of relief from evil,
whether fancied or real, but when
despair takes the place of hope he
becomes menace to society be-
cause he feels he has nothing to
lose.
While we are legislating to pre-
vent any manifestation of the an
archistic spirit on American soil,
we should avoid those things which
breed anarchy. Partially in gov
eminent kindles discomfort; the eX
altation of money above human
rights, the fattening of few at
the expense of the many, the MAX
ing ofartificial distinctions between
citizens and the lessening of the
sacredness of human life-all these
in their full development encourage
the anarchistic spirit. We cannot
give full protection to our officials
merely By posing lave for the pun
ishment of those who assault them
neither can we give them adequate
protection by closing our gates to
those known to advocate anarchy
These remedies, good as far as
they go, are incomplete. We can
only bring absolute security to our
public servants by making the
government so just and beneficent
that every citizen will be willing To

The Cure for Anarchy.

AAO 1AA " AVA &~e@s<sS>~
1t is natural that the wanton and
brutal assassination Of the Presi-
dent at Buffalo should lead to
discussion of ways and means for
driving anarchy out of the United
States, and it is important that the
subject should be dealt with in a
broad and comprehensive way. Czol-
gosz had no personal animosity; he
was not seeking revenge for any
wrong that the administration had
done him; he was aiming blow at
the government OF which Mr.. Nc
Kinley was the official head. No
considerable number of the Ameri
can people can have any sympathy
with the murderer or with those
who entertain his views in regard
to government. That there should
be laws giving all possible protec-
tion to our officials everyone will
concede; the only question open for
discussion is how to apply an edec
! tive remedy. The suppression of
anarchy is only temporary relief;
we should seek not merely the sup
preston but the permanent eradi-
cation Of anarchy. Stealing can
and should be suppressed by law; !;
but Stealing cannot be eradicated
until people are convinced that it
is wrong to steal SO, anarchy
can and should be suppressed by
law, but it cannot be entirely eradi-
Gated until all are convinced that
anarchy is wrong. Free govern
ment, springing as directly as pos
sible from the people and made as
responsive as possible to their will,
is the only permanent and COM
plete cure for anarchy. The arbi-
trary governments of the old world
have tried suppression but have
not succeeded. They have lessened
anarchy just in proportion as they
have extended civil liberty and par
ticipation in the government.
Stern measure must be invoked
for the suppression and punish
ment of every manifestation of the
anarchistic spirit, but beyond this
remedy there must be education.
All must be taught that govern
ment is an absolute necessity and
that our form of government is the
best ever devised. Then our gov
eminent must be made as good as
intelligence and patriotism can
makeit.
There is in every human heart
the love of justice and to this love
| of Justice every government should
appeal. Victor Hugo described the
mob as the human race in misery.
| No government can afford to make
its people miserable--not even a
small part of its people Let man
believe that he is being justly treat
ed by his government and he will
endure almost anything, but let
him feel that he is being uniustly
dealt with and even slight wrong

ANOTHER NEW COFFEE por


There are already on the market
numerous improved coffee pots, bur
there seems to be room for the one
shown below, which has Just been
patented. Among its numerous Id
vantages the inventor names the fol-
lowing: 1t is automatic and requires
no attention after the coffee is once
put in. Only boiling hot water comes
in contact with the coffee, therefore
the strength is all leached out No
additional utensiles are needed, and it
can be adjusted to fit any and all COT
feepots. The pot is separate from the
other parts, and is, therefore, as light
as possible, thus avoiding the handling
OF pot with heavy strainer or other
apparatus. In making the beverage
the operation is as follows: A quantity
OF coffee is placed in the small recep-
tacle at the top, and the fiat reservoir
at the bottom is partially filled with
water. The vertical tube at the left
side of the cut extends nearly to the
top of the coffee holder, and at one
side of the latter is short slanting
tube, which is inserted in the spout
OF the coffeepot. The apparatus being
set on the stove, the water begins to
boil, when the steam expanding in the
fiat reservoir forces the boiling water
in small quantities through the YER
teal tube to the coffee. There the

given out his list of players for this
season. There are sixteen who will
