COMMON ACTION AGAINST A COM
MON ENEMY.

The recent assassination of President Nc
Kinley was so obviously a political crime
and traceable so directly to the spirit of
anarchism that prevails in all countries
that it emphasizes the necessity OF concert
OF action among the nations for the sup
preston of the evil. OF the three assasslna-
tions of Presidents which have darkened
our history this is the first one that is dis
tinctly due to that spirit. 1t shows that the
Unied States is under the same necessity
and obligation to make war against An
archists that European governments are.
As the school seems to have gained foot
hold in all countries and to aim at the over
throw of all governments they should COM
bine against it. When an international
anti-Anarchist conference was held in
Rome in 1898 all the European nations were
represented, but this government was not.
It was, however, represented at The Hague
conference held in 1899, and it is believed
that the action Of that conference furnishes
the machinery for an international agree
ment or treaty on this subject. The con-
ference provided for the establishment at
The Hague of a permanent court to be
composed of four members to be designated
by each Of the powers to serve for six
years. This court is under the control Of a
permanent council consisting of the diplo-
matte representatives at The Hague of all
the powers, with the foreign minister of
the Netherlands as it's president. There is
also an international commission of inquiry
to verify or make clear the facts relating
to any international question. The prime
object of this machinery is to arbitrate
disputes but it could easily be adjusted
to frame a special treaty among all the
powers regulating the status and treatment
of Anarchists. Such a treaty would be the
supreme law in every country whose gov
eminent ratified it. 1t could place anarch-
ism on the same footing as piracy at sea,
which is punishable by death under the
laws OF all nations. Without going into de-
tails the main point is that the commits
sion of inquiry and the permanent court
provided for by The Hague conference
would supply the machinery for interna-
tional action, which would thus be abso-
lutely uniform and more impressive than
separate treaties negotiated at different
times and in different forms. All civilized
governments would thus stand side by side
in opposition to the common enemy Of all.

CAUsELEss IMPATIENCE.

An evening paper would give the public
to understand that the management of the
northern prison is in a demoralized condi-
ton and that disorder has taken the place
Of discipline to such an extent as to re-
quire that all other public duties be sus-
pended until the changes which that paper
demands are made. None of these assump-
tions is true; the affairs of the prison are
proceeding in a business-like manner and
the high state of discipline which has
characterized its management for years
continues. There is not even a rumor of
extravaganza, corruption or of inefficiency
in any branch of the service of the insti-
tuition. Some unofficial charges have been
made that two of the directors of the
prison are ineligible. The Governor is in
vestigating these charges. If he shall be
convinced that the charges have founda-
ton in fact. changes will be made at once
Warden Shideler has resigned. He made
no complaint to the Governor or to any
member of the prison board. He is an
eficient officer, and both the Governor and
board would have him continue in the
position, but as he wished to resign that
was his privilege. Warden Shideler has
made no official complaint OF any inter-
! terence with his system of discipline or
his general management of the affairs of
the prison. The Journal is informed that
the members of the board have not re-
quired him to employ any person against
his protest. The board would be pleased
10 have Mr. Shideler withdraw his resigna-
tion. But here it may be said that before
the change was made in the board Mr..
Shideler's friends gave out that he would
be candidate for Congress next fall, indi-
! eating that he might not continue in
charge of the prison.
The paper alluded to demands that the
Governor appoint proper men to the board
without delay. "and see to it that Mr..
Shideler is asked to retain the wardenship

Judges Lewis and Titus,
RICHARD OLNEY CRITICISED
HIS COACHMAN GLORIED IN THE
SHOOTING OF M'KINLEY.
Citizens Became Enraged and Got No
satisfaction from the Former
Secretary of state.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Magistrate Prindi-
Vile to-day decided to allow Emma Gold
man, the Anarchist, her freedom until her
case comes up for hearing under bonds OF
$4,000. Her attorneys said they had Sc
cured $4,000 and Immediately left the
courtroom to seek the additional money
necessary. Meanwhile Miss Goldman was
led back to the woman's annex at the
Harrison-street station. She was visibiy
disappointed at the amount of the bond re-
CURED. Il guess they thought they would
make the bond so big 1 could not furnish
it," she said, 'but have friends the police
know nothing about and I'll be out Of here
by tonight"
The hearing of Miss Goldman's case on
the charge of conspiracy 10 murder Pres
ident Mckinley" was set for tomorrow
Her counsel, however, learning that there
would be no session of the courts to-mor-
row because of the Presidents funreal, de-
cided this morning to take the matter of
bail before the magistrate to-day The
matter of Miss Goldmans guilt or inno-
cence of the charge against her was not
mentioned, as Justice Prindiville has decid-
ed to follow the example of Judge Chef
lain, who has the cases of the other An
archists before him.
Miss Goldman was exceedingly cheerful
when she was brought into court by Chief
Matron Keegan, and chatted vivaciously
with her attorneys, Messrs. Saltiel, Geet-
ing and Brown. Mr.. Geeting, Tor Miss
Goldman, addressed the court first. He
said that while the defense was willing
to allow the police every opportunity TO
secure evidence against Miss Goldman, as
well as the other Anarchists, he said he
was confident that Miss Goldman was en-
titled under the law to freedom under
bonds. Il can assure this court, said the
lawyer, that my client, if under no bond
at all other than her word, would appear
before this court whenever desired.
John u. Owens, representing the city
prosecutor, advanced no objection to bail
being allowed, but pleaded that in view of
the Importance Of the case and the ma
tional interest in it the bond be made as
heavy possible in accordance with the
Illinois statutes.
Miss Goldman declared that she hoped to
get out, if for no other reason than to
show the police that she did not need or
care for their protection.
II am tired of this talk of protecting
me-" she said. Il want to walk the
streets and show them that do not need
their assistance"

RICHARD OLNEY CENsURED.
Supposed to Have Protected a Man
Who GIoried i'm McKinley's Death.

FALMOUTH, Mass, Sept. 1s.-According
to the affidavit of a citizen Of this village,
Michael Conway. a coachman for the Hon.
Richard Olney, former secretary Of state,
in commenting on the shooting OF Pres
ident Mckinley, said: ut is good thing
President Mckinley was shot: he should
have been killed long ago"
The affidavit was made by George II.
Godfrey, in connection with an indignation
movement Of the citizens, started when the
remark became known. Mr.. Olney was ad-
vised Of the matter and it was reported
that the man had been discharged. Not be-
ing able to verify the report OF such action,
one hundred citizens, representing about
one-third of the voting population OF this
village, determined TO give Conway coat
of tar and feathers last night. Not find
ing Conway, the men marched to Mr..
Olneys home to find out whether the
coachman was still there. The former sec
rotary of state refused to appear at their
demand. The crowd sang Nearer, my
God, TO Thee" and America" and made
repeated but fruitless efforts TO bring a re-
spouse from Mr.. Olney.
At length the citizens started for the
town hall, where they organized by elect
ing Andrew w. Davis chairman and Sc
lecting Edwin 5. Lawrence as secretary. A
resolution was unanimously adopted say
ing that 1.-The course pursued by the Hon.
is in mourning, is an insult to American
citizenship" After the meeting the citi-
zens prepared an eftigy Of Conway, which
they hung on telegraph pole.

TO muzzie the press. but he did desire to
draw the line clearly between freedom and
license. Pointing TO the flags at half-staff,
Judge Green said that these evidences of
woe are the outward manifestations of the
evil effects Of publications unhampered by
any care Of what the effect might be. He
declared that certain publications and pic
lures had influenced the minds Of the dis

tended in no small measure to bring about
the crime which has plunged the Nation
into mourning. The address was applauded,
and freedom of speech was stricken out
without dissenting vote.

THE UNITED STATES AND CENTRAL.
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

Before the tragedy at Buffalo the critical
asked under what authority the admins
tration had sent notes to our ministers in
Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador setting
forth the intent OF this government in the
event of a general war between them 1t
was admitted that the United States is I'M
der obligation to prevent an interruption Of
the operation Of the isthmian railroad
Other administrations had done that, be-
ing compelled to guard the line by United
States sailors and marines. But this could
be done without sending notice to the gov
ernments Of Colombia, Venezuela and
Ecuador. 1t was pointed out that the most
liberal Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine warranted the giving Of such notice
The purpose of the warning was to pre-
vent these little republics from going to
war. Not only would war between them
jeopardize the isthmus railroad and the
sovereignty Of Colombia, which by treaty
we have guaranteed but such war would
lead to complications which might cause
European nations to interfere. These ma
tions have subjects in all those countries
If these conflicting armies should seize or
destroy such property, the governments to
which those foreigners hold allegiance
would demand full reparation-very full
IL the victors refused reparation or could
rot raise the money required, warships
would be sent to their ports to seize the
customs houses and collect duties until
sufficient money should be secured to pay
the claim. This has been done by Great
Britain, and quite recently Germany en-
forced claim against Hayti by that
means.
While this process is not In conflict with
the Monroe doctrine, it is liable to lead to
it's violation, since such occupation may be
extended and foreign authority practically
made permanent. Thus it must appear that
such occurrences may lead to complica-
tons with European nations If we can
keep those little republics from war, such
dangers will be obviated. Having given
out that European governments must not
seize and occupy the soil of American gov
ernments, the United States, in a certain
sense, is responsible for their conduct
toward other nations. Feeling that the
United States will stand between them
and wars that will deprive them of their
soil or sovereignty, those perpetually fight
ing republics may presume upon our sup
port in their attitude toward European
governments. To prevent this and to save
the people from the curse of frequent wars,
is not the United States warranted in
warning them not to go 20 war unless they
are prepared to take the consequences of
interference b. the United States? N our
position, why should not the United States
prevent them from devastating wars?
