Kinley vas shot by "a anarchist while
attending the Pan-Americsn exposl-
tion 81 Buffalo and died in that city Oh
the 14th Of that month.
Oi the last seven elected presidents
lie IS the thisd who hiss bsen murdered,
sna the bars recital Of this fact is
sufficient to justify graVs alarn among
all loyal American citizens. Moreover,
the circumstances of this, the third ss-
sassinauion of an American president,
h&ve peculiarly sinister signifcs1cs.
Both President Lincoln and President
Gss65Id we're killed by asssssirs Of
types unfortunately not uncommon II
history. President Lincoln falling 5
victim to the terrible passions aroused
! by four years Of civil war and Presl
dent Garfield to the re7eogsfUi vanity
Of a disappointed of6oe seeker. Presi-
dent Mckinley 1as killed by an utter
! ly deprsyed criminal belonging to tat
! bc5y OF Criminals VINO objeci TO all
governments, good and bad slike, Who
are asaiost any form Of popular lib
city if il is guaranteed by even the
most JUS. SAT liberal laTs and Wh9 sre

ANARCHY AND ANARCHISTS.
Tbs president continues with
eulcgy OF ME. MsKi1lsy, then tazns 10
the sUtj9ot o. a2srchy, denoulcirg It's
doctrines and preachers. Hesays:
IeaynestIy recommend to the congress
thss II the exercise Of its wise discre-
t;cn it shoulG take into consideration
the coming 10 this country Of s1srch-
lists or persons protesting priociples
hostile TO ali government AID lastlfy-
ing tie murder OF those placed IN au-
thority. such individuals IS those who
not long ago gathered IN open meeting
to glorify the murder of King Hum.
bsrr CT Italy perpetrate crime. and
the law should insure their rigorous
punishment. They and those Ike tAem
/ should be Kept Cut Of this ecu airy. and
il found here they ehoa;d be promptly
deported to tbs country whence they
csme, snd fsErescling provision Should
! be made for the punishm5nt Of those
who stay. No mater calls more urgent.
( " FOR the Risess thought Of the con-
sIess.
A SUBJECT FOR EEDERAL COURTS.
! The federal courts should be given
! jurisdiction over apv NAH Who kills
or attempts to Kill the presidens or aay
man Who by the constitution or By
Law is in line OF succession for the
presidency, while the punishment for
an unsuccessful attempt should be pro-
portion to the enornity Of the oHense
against our institutions.
Anarchy is crime agailst tie Whols
human race, and all mankind should
band against tie anarchist. His crime
should be made az cfense agsinst the
Law Of ratlonE, like piracy aod that
form Of man stealing known as the
slave trade.
The president next considers busi-
ness conditions which ne finds highly
satisfactory. he continues:
The tremendous and highly complex
industrial development which went On
with ever accelerated Tspl5ity during
tie latter half Of the nineteenth cen
| ,ury brings US face to fsce at the b..
ginning OF the twentieth with very
serious social problems. The ole laws
and the oiG customs which had almost
tie binding force Of law we're once
quite sufficient to regulate the sccumu-
lstion aEo distribution Of wealth. Slnec
the industrial changes which have so
! enormously increased the productive
rover Of mankind they are no longer
sufficient.
