the following
The Dead President.
THE shock. the grief OF the country, are
hitter in the minds Of all who saw the
dark davs while the President yet hov-
cred between life and death At last
the light was suiled in the kindly eyes
and the breath vent from the lips that
even in mortal agony uttered no words
save Of forgiveness to his murderer. OF
love for his friends, aud Of unfaitering
trust in the viii Of the Most High Such
a death. crowning the glory OF such life,
leaves Us with infinite sorrow, but with
such pride IL what he had accomplished
and in his own personal character that
we feel the blow not as struck at HIM.

-''''''i The Treatment - Anarchy.
Tho President then passes on 70 the
consideration Of anarehy in all It's forms
and the possible legislative treatment OF
phase Of criminaIity - Infinitely base
He says:
The anarchist. ana especially the an
arcbist in the United states, is merely one
tvue of criminal more dangerous than
anv other because he represents the same
depravity in a greater degree The man
who advocates anarchy directly OF -indi-
reetly. in any shape o. fashion, or the
man who apologies for anarchists and
their deeds. makes himself morally acces-
sorv to murder before the fact. The an
archist is a criminal whose perverted in
stincts lead him to prefer cenfusion and
chaos to the most beuehcent form OF
social order. His protest Of concern for
workfngmen is outrageous in its fmpudent
faIsi.y; for if the pondcei Institutions Of
this country do not afford opportunity to
every honest and Intelligent son Of toll,
then the door of hope is forever closed
against him. The anarchist is everywhere
not merely the enemy Of system and of
progress, but the deadly Zoe of liberty II
ever anarchy is triumphant, its triumph
will last for but one red moment, to be
succeeded for ages by the gloomy night
Of despotism.
The Anarchist Is a Murderer
For the anarchist himself whether he
breaches or practices his doctrines, We
need not have one particle more concern
than for any ordinary murderer He Is
not the victim of social or political in
justice. There are no wrongs to remedy in
his case. The cause of his criminality Is
to be found in his own evil passions and
in the evil conduct of those who urge
him on. not in any failure by others OF by
