William j Bryan on Anarchy.

william j Bryan yesterday tele
graphed the Buffalo Times as follows
Free governments may be over.
thrown, but they cannot be reformed
by those who violate the command
ment like ours, Thou shalt not Kill.
Under a government like ours every
wrong can be remedied by laws, and
the laws are in the HANGS of the
people themselves. Anarchy has
been either excused or tolerated here.
The man who proposes to right a
pubic wrong by taking the lie Of a
human being makes himself an out
law and cannot orsistently appeal
to the protection Of the goVernment
which he repudiates. He invites a
return to state of barbarism in
which each one must at his owo risk
defend his own rights and avenge his
own wrongs. The punishment admin
istsred to the would-b assassins and
to his co conspirators, if he has any,
should be such as to warn Gil Inclined
to anarchy that while this is an
asylum for those who love liberty, it
is an inhospitahle place for those
who raise their hard against all
terms of government.

to have its source in anarchism, Is tC
Ical for the extiration of that belief.
Even Attorney eX-General Griggs is
Iquoted as saying THAT any one declar
ing himself an anarchist in opposition
to our government should be impris
oned for life. - Col Ilerrick, close
friend of Mckinley, adds that every
anarchist in the United States should
be hunted down and confined, just as
ars lunatics or other dangerous per.
sons." And from hundreds and per.
haps thousands of pulpits in the
country came the same deliverance
Sunday.
The unreasonableness of it all lies
in the fact that there is no necessary
or even logical connection between
anarchist doctrine and assassination.
The anarchist argues that human
nature is so good and so gentle that
there is no need Of government, and
that if the wrongs and injustces that
government inaicts were done away
With, there would be no crime Of any
kind and we would all live together
in brotherly love. 1t may be foolish
doctrine, even though we all KNOW
that there is an element of truth in
it because there are unjust and
oppressive misuses of governmental
as power as We all know. But whether
wise or foolish, it is sn opinion people
have right to held and to argue
from--just as much as the opinion
that thousands CT others hold, that
we ought to have more government,
even the unlimited one of a single
monarch.
The trouble is that disordered
minds, 10 the cracks With whom
modern life aboHLds, the morally
diseased, the social outcasts, stepped
in criminRllty, that city Stun life
spawns so politically, seize this
benign theory, as their own
existence proves, as support and a
sort Of jis ication for their ciini
nalty, AID conclude that if there
ought to be no government the thing
to do is to murder representatives. of
government. If this theory did not ex |
ist to be distorted to their morbid dis
positions, some other would be seized |
Tor the sans purpose, This is proved |
BY the freq uency of assasinations, by
political fanatics long before the
;heory of ararchism was ever thought

at Beowawe on March 81, for selling

and the latter, who was taken to Palisads
for trial before Justice Brooks, pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to sixty days
in the county Jail. The law as amended
by the last Legislature makes the selling Of
whisky to Indians a felony, but as Justice
Brooks was not aware Of this fact, he SEN
fenced the prisoner, as stated above, in

had the prisoner brought before Justice
