A CHALLENGE.
accepted.

Devery has already begun to punish the men
who dared to tell the truth at the ONeill trial
Yesterday he had before him Patrolman Mar
rinan who told of offer made TO him to have
a fine remitted for $50. Besides being exces-
sively fined for small offence, he was berated
in Devery's best billngsgate after fashion
better suited TO den Of brawlers than a
courtroom. No time lost after Marrinan
had testified for O'Neill In subjecting him to
discipline. He promptly charged with hav
ing his uniform soiled. He explained that he
had been obliged TO arrest q woman found
lying in the gutter and unavoidably got his
clothes dirty. Devery replied to his excuses
with coarse and almost obscene language called
him tramp a bum and "a dirty bum" :"
and fined him fifteen days pay He also
showed that he had the O'Neiil case in mind
and was filled with resentment over Marrinan's
part in ii, for the patrolman left the alleged
courtroom he shouted after him: 'Now go and
get some one to have this fine remittedr'
There could be more brazen challenge to
decent sentiment than this, no more frank
avowal Of purpose TO hound every man who
dares TO follow O'NeiIl, and the workers for re-
form should take II up promptly. They should
that Marrinan is not allowed TO suffer for
his truth telling. They should interest them
selves In his case they did in that Of O'Neil
IL possible contest the payment of the fine on
account Of the palpable bias Of the judge, and
IL that cannot be done pay his fine for him and
support him morally and financially under the
future attacks which he may expect The po-
licemen who are held in thral by Devery must
learn that Devery cannot hurt them. that citi-
of influence and resources stand with them
who, whether they are subjected TO fines or
disnissas other persecution, will see that
they and their families are no worse off because
of their efforts TO expose police corruption This
is an essential element Of success. Every blow
from Devery must be met by a counter blow
from the antTammany forces. His every vic
tim must have in full measure anti-Tammany
sympathy and support, until honesty and truth
are made safe for members of the Police De
partrnent and for their families ANY failure
TO give this aid will surely enable Devery to
silence everybody. and the revelations already
made, instead of promoting exposures, will re-
tard them. by enabling Devery to make the
fate OF the present rebels against "shake downs"
a terrible example Of the dangers OF defying
him, no matter how brutal and unjust he
may be-
Devery's course is also challenge to Com
missioner Murphy. He has pretended desire

cerning the ultimate responsibility for the great

effect that such responsibility lies with those
who use the pen instead OF the pistol, or who
work with tongue instead of hand. There is
no question OF the existence of a professedIy
anarchic and ruler killing propaganda. 1t exists
and is active I'm Continental Europe. IL prevails
still more In Great Britain. where there is
greater freedom. We not sure that it is
not most rampant and pernicious OF all in the
United States. Ii is found in New-York, among

been directed against the rulers of other lands
Now that they murderously turned against
our own Chief of State what are we going TO do
about it?
Such as these have not, however a monopoly
OF responsibility. There are Others whose higher
standing in the community does not diminish
their culpability. There those who profess
detestation of anarchy and of murder who vet

THE DISCUSSION OF CANDIDATES.

The list of possible anti-Tammany candidates
for Mayor to whom the committee Of eighteen
after it had made various erasures and ad-
ditions was disposed TO give particular consid-
Grafton and desired to invite public attention
contains several names which must be dropped
If the resolution calling for an independent
Democrat and resident of Manhattan is to be
adhered to- But that resolution was not de-
signed to be, and in any case could not have
been. conclusive 1t merely reflects the general
opinion Of the committee at the present stage
of its deliberations, and the committee is pre-
pared to withdraw 1t in case its inadvisability
should become apparent the Sitting process
goes or Nor is there yet any reason to fear
that other leaders Of the anti-Tammany move
ment who at tiis time believe those quaifica-
tions TO be essential, would insist upon them at
the cost Of rupture Nothing whatsoever has
occurred thus far TO cloud the prospect OF har-
mony.
The committees tentative list of candidates
not only contains some names which must be
excluded if a Manhattan Democrat is inds-
pensable but also again suggests the considera-
ton on which we dwelt the other day. Doubt
less any one of great number of citizens who
might be mentioned would prove an excellent
Mayor if he were once Installed in the City Hall.
But it would be the height of folly TO fail TO
take into account the probability that many
man who is fully competent to serve the COM
munity faithfully and efficiently as It's chief
magistrate would encounter fatal opposition as
a candidate Due weight must be given TO un-
reasonable as we'll as to reasonable dislikes.
We are not intimating any personal antipathy
when we say that in the committees list are in
cluded some good men for whom it would be
especially difficult to obtain enough votes TO
elect, because of antagonisms which are already
known to exist AID which would almost GER
tainly grow stronger as the campaign went on.
There are others to whom, far as we are
aware, that objection cannot be made, but the
suggestion of whose names raises the question
whether they are or could readily be made sufti-
! ciently known to the community to command
the full support of the anti-Tammany forces.
A nominee of whom little had previously been
heard might prove an exceptionally available
candidate but the positive arguments in his
favor would need to be very strong to justify
such a choice.
1t is altogether gratifying to find so few signs
I'm any quarter of a dictatoral spirit. The prob
lem is a perplexing one, but IL the conferrees
preserve their present temper there is good rea-
son TO believe that they will solve it fortu-
nately and that their decision will be loyalty
accepted.

THE FOLLY OF ANARCHY.

The story told in London by the Frenchman
Faugeron about plot to murder the British
Colonial Secretary may or may not he true. 1t
is, at any rate, both plausible and probable.
Assassination has by no means been unknown
In British social and political agitation, and
never has it struck at a man more hated by
some than is Mr.. Chamberlain. Indeed, direct
suggestions that his removal would be n good
thing for the world have not been lacking in
public prints of a certain class. That some
rabid socialist even some BOer sympathizer-
not Boer; they are not assassins-should plan
to murder him is by means impossible or I'M
probable.
But the folly of such an act is patent in it's
very purpose. Mr. Chamberlain to be
killed, this Frenchman says, because Of his re-
sponsbilty for the Boer war and for all the
suffering it entails. But Is any man fool enough
to suppose that his assassination would end the
war and reverse British policy toward the
Beers? 1t is certain that it would not do so,
but. on the contrary, would strengthen the Brit
sh resolution to carry the conflict through to
the bitter end. There Is the fatal mistake which
is made by those who strike down men in
hope of thus changing systems. They have all
made that mistake. Men may honor the mem-
ory of Charlotte Corday for Kidding the world
of a monster, yet we know that her act re-
suited in an aggravation of the evils which in
spired il. The murder of Alexander III in
tensified the rigors of Czarsm. The assassina-
ton of Humbert put upon the throne of Italy
King less generously disposed toward revolu-
tionists than he. Had the wretch Czolgosz
succeeded in his murderous design IT is certain
there would have been no change In our gov
ernmeutal system favorable to socialism or
anarchy. Murder destroys the individual but
not the system. The destruction or alteration
of the latter is beyond the power of assassina-
ton.
This should be evident to the socialists and
anarchists themselves 1t doubtless would be
IL they were entirely reasonable beings But
the whole tendency OF the revolutionary propa-
ganda from Proudhon and Marx-the alleged
plotter against Mr.. Chamberlain was disciple
of Marx-down to CZOgosz and Goldman has
been so illogical that should not be sur
prised to find it's apostles and disciples devoid
of sound reasoning faculties. Their vision has
become so distorted and their minds so per-
verted that they cannot clearly nor think
straight This is practically demonstrated In
the union which so largely exists between so
cialists and anarchists. who should be at oppo-
site extremes from each other. 1t Is renewed
and emphasized in almost every act of each of
them.
