Anarchy and Assassination.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In view of t5e shooting of President Nc
Kinley AMI the assassination of Garfield
and Lincoln. three kind-hearted men, doing
no harm to any one, we should do what
ever we can to protect the American people
from harm. 1t seems as if the Anarchists
are public enemies of all mankind. They
glory in what they call freedom. They re-
pudiate all law. While they are protected
in life, liberty and property by law,
they scorn the law and assassinate
people when ordered by lot. AS
long as Anarchists are permitted to
reside in the land, no prominent person
is safe Society should protect itself by
making anarchy a crime. Congress and
the States should pass a law defining an
archy and making it a felony punishable
by death or transportation to some island.
They should be regularly tried by a jury,
and the punishment should be death or
Punishment for life when duly convicted.
Congress should set off some island in the
Philippines or elsewhere, and all aSsassins
like those who assailed Mckinley, Gar
field and Lincoln should be hanged, and
all others who aid and abet should be
transported to some island, and make 1T
a Botany Bay. If there was any known
good in anarchy 1t would be different, but
it is marked with murder and assassina-
ton, with bloody trail around the world,
Vided If transported, q part of the
finding, there should be appended thereto a
provision that at any attempt to leave the
island the penalty should be immediate
death. Let all civilized countries, by
treaties ratify this agreement so the
Anarchist could not find an asylum any
where, except on the convict island. Birds
of feather should flock together.
In addition TO anarchy let the perpetra-
tors of murder, treason, kidnapping, burg
larieS and common thieving be transported
to the same island. Let the people on this
island have perfect freedom to enact any
law they please, according to their ideas
society would weed out the evil disposed
persons and take off about two-thirds OF
our taxes. To support our jails, houses of
reform, pententiaries. courts and police,
about two-thirds of the taxes are levied
and law-abiding people foot the bills.
Juries would convict men for transporta-
ton where they would hang or acquit in
around the convict island, and make 1t a
part of the conviction, when any was
caught in trying to escape, that the Of
fcerS should shoot him on the spot In
all cases should an innocent person be
convicted, the President, or the Governor
of the State where the conviction was had
should pardon the man. In this way the
and country. Unless the criminal class be
thus collected, society will be in constant
turmoil and the taxes regularly collected
from peaceable and law-abiding people, and
society in time weed itself of the vicious
and criminal. 1t is hoped that the shooting
and attempted assassination of President
Mckinley will arouse the public to con-
slider the best plan to remedy the evil

Lynch law follows the demagogy and cow

insanity breeds contempt for law, en-
boldens the criminally-intent and prepares
people for lynch law. The work of creating

ing to the letter the laws now in existence
providing for rigid inspection of immi-
grafton, in order TO prevent the irnporta-
tiOn of Anarchists TO this country. / also
believe the laws now in existence presume
and provide for a sufficiently strict
surveillance to prevent single An
archist landing here and becoming a
of experts to inspect the incoming immi-
grants and decide as to their fitness for
American citizenship. These laws should
be stringently enforced. The object lessons
we nave had ought to convince everybody
of this fact. If the laws now in existence
are not strong enough 10 prevent the as
sembling and plotting of the ones already
here there should be more legislation on the
subject promptly. / have never ceased TO
feel greatly chagrined over the fact that a
man from this country, a citizen Of the
United States. went TO Italy and assassi-
mated King Humbert. IL Is a disgrace TO
this country that either through laxity
of the law or neglect in its enforcement

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION

The news from Buffalo yesterday, more
and more hopeful with each succeeding
bulletin, brought a sense Of relief which
could be seen in the faces Of the people
on the streets. The general inquiry when
men met was: What is the latest from
the PRESIDENT" Scarcely giving the salu-
tatiOn, Good morning." friends asked of
each other what they thought OF the Presi-
dents chances. While it is yet too early
to cease to be anxious, the very general
opinion is that President Mckinley will
live and so recover as TO be able to meet
the high responsibilities Of the future with
the courage and wisdom he has thus far
displayed.

SMOKE CONSUMPTION.

The street commissioner of New York
city is taking time by the forelock and
advertising for bids for the removal of
snow and ice from the streets next winter.
In the same line of activity is the move
ment of ST. Louis business men to secure
a clean city. They have in mind the i'm
preston to be made on strangers during
their exposition two years hence, and know
that they must begin in time. One improve
ment they are urging with vigor is the
adoption of smoke consumers. They as
sert that smoke consumption is entirely
possible, several devices on the market be-
ing practical and accomplishing the work
satisfactorily if the fireman does his duty.
The chief difficulty in the way of this i'm
provement is the indifference and even
active opposition of manufacturers, owners
of hotels, business blocks, etc. 1t seems
impossible to convince them that, in spite
of the actual outlay in the beginning, the
use of such devices is a matter of economy
A recent writer the subject says:
Contrary To the ordinary impression, it
does not cost more to have clean city than
a dirty one. understanding devices get
effective combustion that they a real
economy in the end. The Gait House, in
Louisville. voluntarily put in an elaborate
system of this sort for the purpose of saw
ing it's own laundry bills. The damage done
to lace curtains, upholstery and tapestries
in nice hotel by the heavy black smoke
of the chmneys is great. The owners took
particular pains to compare the cost under
the old system and under the new; they had
not only boilers for heating, but for the
electric dynamos. which lighted the hotel,
ran the elevators and did other mechani-
cal work. They told me that their fuel
bill for the entire plant had been greatly
reduced by the change. There is much
the opposition of soft-cOal users to taking
steps in this direction is very great.
Last winter an effort was made to enforce
the Indianapolis ordinance requiring the
use of smoke consumers in all downtown
establishments, but without much success.
though perhaps one or two of the contriv-
ances were put in. Certain manufacturers
III the outskirts who do not come under
the ordinance use the consumers of their
own accord as a means of saving fuel, but
the managers of business blocks and ho-
tells show a singular reluctance to doing
this. 1t is time now for the building in
spector to look after this matter with an
energy he has not yet shown and to insist
that everyone to whom the regulation ap-
plies shall obey it. 1t will be but a few
weeks until furnaces are started. and
preparations should be made to secure pure
air and clean streets.

Il believe the fault lies largely with our
selves. The development of the Anarchist
has been due TO inhdes. unbelevers and
atheists. What need here is that we
shall begin building our government more
closely upon the foundation OF simple and
pure Christianity.
Ii is very true that all. or nearly all, at
least. of Anarchists. are unbelievers, in
fidels and atheists. and il is also true that
about all Anarchists are the offspring of
those countries where Christianity $50
