ANARCHY MUS T GO.

The assassin in this case is confessed
anarchist There are many of them in
this country. They are allowed to come
and go. and are accorded the same privi-
loSes of citizenship as are enjoyed by
good citizens. Our laws should be so
amended gs to make il impossible for
them to land, with power OF deporta-
ton Of those who are here and bid de-
ha7ce t. the principles of our Govern
ment- Let justice be swift and sure. as
IT should be III every such case and a
lesson taught TO anarchists that they
cannot ply their .nurderous trade in TINS
couhtry.-Baltimore World
The anarchist is not an irresponsible
person. He is the most deliberate of muir
derers. He plots without passion and he
acts without personal grievance. De-
generacy might be n better word to de-
scribe his mental condition, and yet he
is not even degenerate in the sense of
having lapsed back toward the state OF
beasts. Beasts are more kind and more
reasoning. Express.
1t was time long ago that the preach
ing of the anarchistic violence should
have been punished on the same basis as
the crimes for which it was directly re-
sponsible. Had this been done for some
years back the homicidal cranks would
not have had the temptation which has
resulted in their attempts on the lives of
so many rulers. y proper system of po-
lice surveillance and activity would
quickly stop the hatcheries of these
crimes. Until something of the sort is
established the murderous crank must
continue to be taken into account as u
shocking factor In the experiences of
rulers, whether of monarchical or republi-
can countries.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
The terrible event of Friday last, which
has cast gloom over the entire country,
shou!i be sufficient of itself to induce
our Congress to put up safety gates
against large part Of the immigration
flood which pours into our ports from the
ports of Europe Much of it fouls and
poisons the pure stream of American life.
Our country should be a refuge and asy-
lum for the fit and worthy poor and op-
pressed OF all nations, not for the unfit and
the unworthy, not for the socialistic or
anarchical enemiZ of society, the foes of
government and the assassins of honored
ana trusted rulers, who, here at least,
rule solely by virtue of the will and power
of the governed In this great Republic
there should be no room, no place., for
the socialists and the anarchists who
sow the poisonous seeds of misrule. law
lessness. riot and ssassination.-Phila-
deiphia Ledger
The anarchists who preach revolution,
while enjoying the benefits and immuni-
ties that are provided for all men under
the shelter of our laws, are menace to
order. They abuse the liberty they en-
joy. There appear to be nests of them in
Ohio and New Jersey which are
of sufficient menace to life and property
TO deserve immediate consideration at the
hands of the legislative authorities in
tnose states. The attack on the life of
the President will make il a matter of
general consideration how to deal with
these wretched vermin without danger
TO ourselves in the restraint OF valued
rights and liberties which We have bought
with precious blood and tfeasure.-Phila-
delphia Record.
In free country like the United States
it may not be practicable to guard abso-
lutely against repetition of such crimes;
1t certainly should be possible, in the
light of past and present history, to place
avowed and blatant anarchists where
their possibilities for committing crime
against individuals and the public will be
reduced to milimum.-Newport, r. l.,

The fact that Czolgosz's victim is the
head of the American Government, how
ever, brings home to every mind a defect
in the law which is overlooked when less
saulted. The Australian principle is the
true one. When a man attempts murder
there he Is not allowed to profit by the
of the object of his attack If
Il is proved that he meant murder he is
hanged whether the victim lives or dies.
Were thai the law in the United States
Czolgesz's s fiIte would now be as certain
as il President Mckinley had fallen dead
instantly under his pistol.-Philadelphia

The root cause here is anarchy. That

was ever ruined by reptiles,
though such countries have more than
once been too Ienient with them. There
is little danger of extended or excessive
eniency toward them here now. An
lrchy seemed academic, though horrible,
so long as monarchs far away were its
victims. But bowling. hot. and kissing in
America. it has discharged its shaft at
our noble President. And the nation.

Anarchy is once more rearing its horrd
crest in this liberty y-loving land, and the
Mss of the conspirators has been getting
louder and louder every day. The crime
Of CZolgosz is the mere manifestation on
the surface of the deadly venom below

Emma Goldman, so that it is his educa-
lon that has made him the man he is

Tolerance is abused by a small band of

the protection of society until they can

for which they are responsible. 1t is true
that such deeds avail nothing. Society

There will never be wanting
brave men to take the posts of duty which
are the more honora bic because they are
the posts of danger. But the deplorable
fact remains that in this free Republic,
founded in high hopes for the uplifting of
we have lost three Presidents
by assassination in less than a single
half century. The nation which offered
Itself as an asylum for the oppressed has
been turned into a lurking place for muir
ierers. 1t is time for us to consider how
far society is bound to extend its pro-
lection to Infamous beings who hover un-
Ter the cover of its wings only to mature
their plots to compass its destruction

The anarchist is n creature of morbid
yanity. The attention which his crime ex-
cites the figure he will make in court,
he floods of oratory from able and elo-
Iuent lawyers that his trial evokes. even

these things all feed his vanity. but
such a ridiculous humiliation as to be tied
up to a whipping post and lashed by a
deputy sheriff-that he could not
