the company. told me that he belonged to
an anarchistic circle, with headquarters in
Rome. Italy. He told me President Nc
Kinley and Emperor William were doomed
to assassination, and that men had already
been selected to kill them.
The time is not yet come for the as
sassination of Emperor William he said,
but President Mckinley will be killed be-
fore next October
Why? / asked.

He also told me the circle had assasslns in

Our Solid Institutions.

Is there not good ground for pride and
comfort in the way in which the country
met the shock at Buffalo? There was not
sign of panic in any responsible quarter.
Every man in high national office decided
at once, and correctly, upon his duty, ana
did it. Some conflicting advice was offered
to the Vice President. He was urged to
have care as-to his movements, and THIS
city was suggested as the proper place for
him. But he did not hesitate moment,
and started, as he should have done. for
Buffalo. The members of the cabinet were
widely scattered, but all, except Secretaries
Hay and Long, who were at remote points
and in poor health, left Immediately for the
bedside of their chief. Within twenty-four
hours indeed had the Presidents wounds
proved fatal in that time, authoritative
action from the highest sources would have
been possible in Buffalo by the new chief
magistrate. surrounded by majority of
the cabinet. There need not have been
moments delay.
Equally prompt and ciear-headed, too,
were the great captains of finance in deal
ing with the situation. They moved in con-
cert upon the moment for the protection of
the money market in the interests of all
1t was a wise and patriotic step The en-
distributed investments in many new lines,
and speculation has been rife. The presi-
dents death would have put everything in
peril. The probability of it even was
gravely to be reckoned with. Except for
unusual precautions. values might go whirl
ing downward Those precautions were
taken. and, assisted by the favorable bull
letins from Buffalo, they had an excellent
effect. Confidence prevailed everywhere
both on Saturday and on yesterday.
Mention need hardly be made of the feel
ing of brotherhood that was everywhere
awakened among the people. That was
something for which previous national
calamties had prepared us. The American
people are aggressive and sometimes fierce
in their partisan contentious. but never
without a sense of their national obliSa-
tions or pride in their institutions. A blow
at the head of the state is instantly re-
sented as a blow against all. The partisan
gives place to the patriot in moment.
1t was so in this case. The whole people
responded as one man, and stood ready to
support as one man all measures that
might be necessary for the upholdins of
the national authority.
We stand therefore as a nation pretty
firmly on our pins. The fact should not
make us neglectful or careless at any time,
but it is one to which attention may prop
erly be called in a. spirit of hearty con-
graduation.

Foreign and American Anarchists.

1t appears that Leon Czolgosz. who shot
President Mckinley. is a native of this
country, having been born in Michigan of
foreien-born parents. He therefore stands
as the type of class which must be spe-
cially considered in all discussions of the
best methods Of suppressing anarchism In
America, the native converts 10 this deadly
cult. These people, of unknown numbers
are not subject to a rule refusing admis-
sion or residence to immigrants who are
known to entertain dangerous views of
government They are citizens. and If ex-
PEELED must be formally banished. a prac-
tice foreign to present American policies
There is no provision for such treatment
in any of the laws as now written.
Just how large percentage of the hold
ers of anarchistic doctrines are of foreign
birth cannot be definitely known but 1t is
generally believed that 1t is greatly prepon-
derant. Here have gathered for years the
prescribed of all the lands which have
frowned upon the cult Polish revolution
lists, Russian nihilists. German radicals
French communists. italian anarchists. all
believers In the possibility of social organ
tzation without government, have swarmed
here, attracted by the freedom guaranteed
by the American Constitution, freedom
OF speech and action, freedom to assemble
and promulgate their theories and to pros
elyte for the strengthening of their cause
Here they have in large measure sub
merged their racial and doctrinal differ
ences. Hatred of the state and all its ex-
ponents has commonly drawn them into
communities animated by the single spirit
OF destruction which is at the basis of an
archism and its kindred schools of philos-
ophy.
They have sowed their seed broadcast,
scattering 1t among good citizens and bad
alike. They have lured young men from
wholesome principles by their rawlings
against the tyranny Of the rich and the in
iqufty of the state. They have tempted
disappointed political followers with the

that kind himself He was pretending to
inside information a. to anarchistic plans
for the future, which included the killing
of President Mckinley before october. And
yet the man to whom all Of this was con-
veyed dimissed 1t lightly as mere romano
ing.
There is revealed in this an evidence OF
how familiar, unfortunately. we have
grown to be with subjects Of this kind. and
how little discussion of them moves us
until some ruler, or representative or
the people, is stricken down. We draw
line between the man who talks in this
strain about leader Of the people, and
one who INDUCES in the same threat against
an individual. Nothing is more likely than
If this man Maggie had disclosed plot
against the head OF the opera company,
and announced his willingness to execute
it If called upon, his revelations would
have been promptly reported. HUFFMAN
would have felt that a duty. Moreover. he
would have been ashamed to associate with
a person confessing himself so lost to all
sense Of humanity and responsibility. But
such disclosures respecting the President Of
the United States are dismissed with
smile, and the man who makes them and
avows his sympathy with them keeps his
acquaintances and his job and loses moth
ing in standing.
There are fighty men who indulge in a
good deal Of meaningless talk, and pretend
to information which they do not possess.
Their only object Is self-exploitation. But
1t Is a serious question IL all talk affecting
the safety OF public men should not
promptly be reported in some form to the
authorities for their information and in
vestigation. II it proves to be idle 1t will
be something gained to expose and confuse
the liars with it. II it proves to be Of
value, the clue thus obtained may be used
in time to the utmost benefit. The man
who sympathizes with anarchy is as bad
man as he who strikes a blow. for

The New Day in China.

The departure Of Mr.. Rockhill from China
is an event the full significance OF which
should not be lost even in this moment of
greater interest attaching to the Pres1-
dents condition. 1t marks the concluding
steps In bringing China once more into
touch with the civilized powers. Her obli-
cations to them and theirs to her are, with
the signing of the protocol. formally of
record now, and events for the good Of all
should rapidly work out The promise Is
that they will.
And Prince Chun's visit abroad ought to
assist to this desirable end. His mission
to Germany has been altogether successful.
Being novel and difficult, 1t appealed to
the humorists In Europe. and they seized 1t.
Precisely what was originally demanded
by the German emperor and what was
modified under the protest of the prince we
do not know; but what took place when
the prince presented himself was highly
creditable to both sides. China's message
was sufficient and was well delivered, and
the kaiser's reply, while stern and en-
phatic, was not calculated to wound the
personal feelings of the envoy:
Upon leaving Germany Prince Chun will
visit by invitation several other countries;
and there can be no doubt about the cor
diality of his reception wherever he may
go. His embarrassments are at an end, and
henceforth until he returns home he will
be merely a welcome sightseer. There is
a great deal worthy of his attention, and
certain to arrest it. Described as a young
man of quick faculties, he ought to return
home very much wiser than when he left it,
and well able to give the authorities there
valuable suggestions about 5ome of the re-
forms they are reported to be preparing to
institute at the suggestion of the powers
Moreover, China understands now as
never before the necessity of deserving and
possessing the good will of the powers
She cannot expect to live to herself, nor
yet live upon her own terms with others.
She has a part to play in the worlds
drama, and she must play 1t in accord with
the others in the cast. Her great wall is
Of no force as against progress. That is
certain to make it's way further and fur
ther within her borders until it permeates
the whole kingdom. The day should not be
a distant one when China. instead of re-
sisting progress, will welcome it; when
the people, freed from old customs, will
welcome the new. and profit by what the
western nations have to offer them.
But the matter of moment now Is the
new start that has been made, and which
is signalized by the signing of the proto-
col at Pekin. 1t is of great Importance to
all the world. and to other country
more than to the United States

Emma Goldman Found,

The arrest of Emma Goldman in Chicago
today was fully to have been expected.
She is a well-known figure and it was in
credible that she should long evade police
attention. Ever since she poured her vii
famous doctrine into the ears of young
Berkmann and persuaded him to shoot
Henry c. Frick in 1892 she has been a
marked figure. Too much leniency has at
times been shown to her, when she has
even violated the law with her unrestricted
TRADES against governments and rulers
She has grown aggressive and bold in con-
sequence, and last December she delivered
speech in New York in the course of
which she uttered the following challenge:
IF the police are as foolish as they usual
ly are. let them disturb US. They will do
it at their peril. The King of Italy was
Justly sent to his account by a brave man.
Let the minions of this car enforce his
threats and a thousand Brescis will arise
against him.
Her arrest now may not lead to an imme-
diate clearing of the mystery of the cir
cumstances which led to Czolgosz's crime
1t seems to have been fairly proved that
she and he were associated to some extent
and he has declared that he drank inspira-
tion for his deed from her speeches 1t is
said on the other hand that Czolgosz is
playing deep game and has mentioned
Goldman's name merely to cover his real
advisers and fellow conspirators But
whether or not Goldman is shown to have
prompted this deed. directly or indirectly
she is well captured. She is an undesira BILE

commented upon that the summer girl has

The Antf-Red Propaganda.

From the Philadelphia North American.
In reply to the North Americans request
for the views of national legislators and
governors on a proposed anti-anarchy law
scores of messages heartily indorsing such
a measure continue to pour in. They come
from every quarter of the country. and In
all there is not a dissenting voice. Every
answer means a vote in Congress to ami
hilate the anarchy that teaches the de-
struction Of government. Statesmen of in
ternational renown declare for such a law,
with proper safeguards to free speech. and
say that the safety of the nation and the
individual demands new legislation.
