BRYAN sternlY Condemns.

William J. Bryan on Monday issued the
following statement for publication =
Free governments may be overthrown,
but they cannot be reformed by those who
violate the commandment: Thou shalt not
kill. Under government like ours every
wrong can be remedied by the laws, and
the laws are in the hands Of the people
themselves.
Anarchy can be neither excused nor
tolerated here The man who proposes to
right public wrong by taking the life of
human being makes himself an outlaw,
and cannot consistently appeal to the pro-
lection of the government which he repu-
dates. He invites return to a state of
barbarism in which each one must at his
own risk defend his own rights and avenge
his own wrongs.
'sThee punishment administered to the
would be assassin and to his co-conspirators,
if he has any, should be such as to warn all
inclined to anarchy that while this is an
asylum for those who love liberty, it is an
inhospital place for those who raise their
hands against all form Of governments. y

PRESIDENT MK1NLEY SHOT.

At 40 o'clock on Friday afternoon
last, Sept. 6, during public reception in
the Temple of Music on the grounds Of
the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, an
assassin attempted to take the life of
President Mckinley, shooting him twice
with 32-calibre pistol.
The details of this dastardly crime
against the country and humanity, the
identity of the would-be murderer, the
fact that the President has survived the
wounds and is on the sure road to recov-
cry, are no doubt familiar history to all
our readers, and to repeat them here,
almost week after the event, would be
merely a tiresome repetition. But we
desire, nevertheless, to add our word of
condemnation to the universal note of
adherence and sorrow that has gone up
from the body of the American people
and that comes across all seas from all
the nations of the earth.
The world has no sympathy for the
Anarchist nor his creed, much less does
he have sympathizers in the United States,
and what astounds and mystiies the
rational mind is that men, American born
and educated in our public schools as
this would-be assassin was-can be led to
embrace creed and acknowledge ale
glance to a principle SO remote from
American teachings.
But, astounding as the revelation is,
it will not be lost on the American people.
We have Anarchists in our midst and
some of them are American born and
educated as Americans to respect law, bow
in obedience to the will of the majority
as expressed at the ballOt-box, and obey
the Constitution.
If to be an Anarchist was unpopular
week ago, it is and should be dangerou.
to be one now. There should be NJ
liberty for plotters against authority which
the people have established; there mus
be no license not granted by law.
With our countrymen we rejoice and
thank God that this blow fell short it,
mark, that the President lives and will
fully recover, and that the mind of the
nation is one in its determination t.
make villainies of this sort impossible
hereafter.

A Coward's Crime in Vain.
From the New York world.l

w
If men of such stuff as Anarchist assassins
are made of could be reached by the things
which affect intelligence, they would be
impressed by the manner in which the
nation has conducted itself in the face of
the peril to the Presidents life.
Outside of few individual cases, there
has been no Mysteries. Indignation over
the crime and the criminal has been ex-
pressed forcefully, with the iustifiable feel
ing that death should be the penalty meted
out to the would-be assassin. Sympathy
for the suffering President and his invalid
wife has been proffered generously, tender
", Loyalty. But above the utterances of
the people and their chosen leaders the
country over there has sounded that note
of mighty calmness in sorrow which is the
manifestation of conscious strength = Of
courage. confidence and power founded on
institutions that will outlast the mOmen-
tary work of any cowardly murderer.
OF what avail are outlaw plottings against
such a people, such strength, such courage,
such institutions? And how can Anarchy
hope to gain recruits to its destructive
cause by the perpetration of crime the
sole effect of which, outside of bringing
suffering to a man and his household, is to
exhibit a nation splendidly united and
superbly sure of the faith that is in it?
If the President dies the Constitution
and the law now provide for six successors
in regular order-the Vice President the
Secretaries of State, of the Treasury and Of
War. the Attorney General and the Post
master General. The infamy of the en-
deayor to institute Anarchy and 'sget rid
of government" by killing the President is
only equaled by its absolute idiocy.
