JOHN MosT's PUNISHMENT.

Justice Hinsdale, in sentencing John
Most, the most blatant of the anarchist
agitators in this country to the peniten-
tiary for year, defined the line that
separates criticism Of the government and
it's laws from criminal incendiarisr.-
Most reprinted in his paper few days
ago an editorial entitled: Murder VS..
Murder" in which he contended the de-
struction of a life which was hostile or a
hindrance'' is a meritorious act.
The section of the New York code I'M
der which Most was convicted reads as
follows:
"a person who wilfulIy and wrongfuIly
commits any act which seriously injuries
the person or property of another, or
which seriously disturbs or endangers the
public peace or health, or which openly
outrages public decency, for which no
other punishment is expressly prescribed
by this code, is guilty Of misdemeanor. ="
Justice Hinsdale held that advocacy of
violence and murder endangers the public
peace. He then went on to draw the fol-
lowing distinction to show that penal
statutes cannot be invoked to RESTRICT a
reasonable freedom Of speech:
"A person may advocate any change Of
our government by lawful and peaceful
means, or may criticise the conduct Of
its affairs and get as many people to
agree with him as he can so long as he
does not advocate the commission of
crime as the means through which to
attain his end"
This is a clear demarcation of the line
that separates the right of free speech.
When a person transcends the liberty
thus insured he commits crime against
government and society and in every we'll
regulated community there is law to pun
ish him.

HENDERSON WILL SCOTCH 1T.

President McKinley's noble speech at
Buffalo on the day before he was shot
was highly endorsed in every particular
by many leading Republican newspapers.
The most notable utterance in that ad-
dress was the declaration that the time
has come when tariff taxes which are no
longer needed for revenue should be
abolished.
other eminent Republicans had spoken
on this line before President Mckinley
and after he came out so strongly for tar
in reform many predictions were made
that the Republican party would soon de-
part from extreme protectionism. We
heard much of the Buffalo platform. ="
which meant the tariff policy indicated
by President Mckinley n his last speech.
1t is beginning to become clear. how
ever that the Buffalo platform stands
small chance of acceptance by the Repub-
lican party.
That party is still joined to its idols and

YALE AND SAMPSON.

There have already appeared abundant
evidences that public opinion is over
whelmingly with Admiral schley and that
it considers Admiral Sampson a much
over-honored favorite of the navy depart
ment.
Additional demonstration OF this feeling
has been provoked by the announcement
that Yale university has selected Admiral
Sampson as one Of the men upon whom it
will bestow degree.
This decision has been criticized severe
ly and the Yale Corporation is FESTIVE
under these structures. The New Haven
Register, which is supposed to speak for
the corporation, says:
yale will honor Sampson, not be-
cause Schley does not deserve like hon.
or, but because Sampson does deserve
1t. 1t will be given without abating a
jot or title the honor in which every one
Of the Santiago captains is held at Yale
and elsewhere. We can merely suggest
again that it would be no more than fair
to let Yale conduct her own business in
her own way. Those who prefer can
send their sons to sheol instead. No one
need support Yale who does not care to-
or course Yale will be permitted to con-
duct her own business in her own way,
but it is only natural that the public
should regret to see a great university
cheaper it's honors by bestowing them
upon those who have done nothing to
merit such distinction.

DDS Of signalling in the operating ser
vice.
These are considerations Of immense i'm
portance, but we must be frank also and
confess that the British railroads are SUI
perior to ours in essential particulars
also.
Their roadbeds and tracks are better
constructed and more reliable than ours.
They have more convenient stations and
lower fares.
But the greatest thing in their favor is
the fact that they have far less num-
Der Of accidents and only small per cent
of the number of fatalities that attend
railroad travel in this country.
1t is clear. therefore. that while the
British are learning of us we may learn
much from them. Let US not allow the

british to become more open-minded than
We are in anything.

liberal allowance for such purposes.
Both Secretary Gage and Mr.. Eckels
favor the policy of keeping expenditures
within receipts when it is possible to do
so. They agree also that the legal tenders
should be retired; that the currency should
consist exclusively Of bank notes and that
these notes should be secured only by the
assets of the banks issuing them.
The objections to asset bank issues I'M
der careful restrictions have we'll nigh
disappeared.
Mr.. Eckels declared that ''by proper re-
striction, by proper care. by the accumu-
lation, If you please. for the present, of
a safety fund, the notes so issued, re-
strained by proper tax. would never be
issued in such amount as to cause undue
speculation or to bring about harm to
any interest"
Mr.. EcBels commands respectful atten-
ton whenever he discusses currency prob
lens, and his bankers convention speech
has called forth much discussion.
He was quite young man when Pres
ident Cleveland appointed him conptrol-
Ter of the currency, but he filled that high
office with conspicuous ability. President
Mckinley urged him to continue his work
there. but he resigned to accept the
presidency of the Globe National bank,
of Chicago, an institution which he has
huiIt nm very largely and placed among
the greatest of Chicago's banks.

is almost universally admitted.

Congressman Babcock has been laboring
for more than year TO induce his party
to go even as far as the enactment of
a provision that when the production and
sale of any article comes under the con-
troll of a trust that article shall be placed
on the free list.
This would be one of the most effective
antitrust measures possible but for that
very reason the party that is in league
with the trusts will never permit it to be-
come law so long as the Republicans
have power to prevent it.
Speaker Henderson has already served
notice on the country that he will exert
the great power OF his ONCE to defeat any
measure of real tariff reform that may
come before congress at its next session.

attempts to reduce the average of tariff
duties and to abolish some of them en-
tirely win be made at the approaching

certain that congress will be found still
under the control of the trusts and
bounty-fed interests. and there it will re-
main as long as the Republican party has
a majority in either Of its branches.

THE CANAL OUTLOOK.

II il be true. as reported from London,
that Great Britain has made several mate
rial concessions to the United States In
the matter OF the proposed isthmian canal
treaty we may expect TO see the way
cleared rapidly for that great work
The opponents OF the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty which was rejected at the last ses-
sion OF congress based their main objec-
ton upon the fact that while that agree
ment permitted our government to con-
struct. own and police the canal the right
70 fortify IL was denied
Il Is said that the British foreign once
yielded this point and that the treaty
which Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote have agreed upon viii surely be ac-
ceptable to the senate.
We have never doubted that an agree
ment that would insure the construction
Of an isthmian canal would soon be reach
ed. There is a conflict Of opinion on the
question OF route. The Nicaragua canal
proposition was the only one considered
a few years ago. but the Panama route
has now many advocates and could poll a
big vote in congress. The fact that much
work has already been done at Panama
and that the company owning the canal
franchises is willing to sell out cheap has
had effect.
The Nicaragua route has lost favor be-
cause OF the largely increased estimates
Of its cost. A third route. lying entirely

but It does not appear to have any de-
cided superiority over the other two. 1t
seems 10 be more probable than ever be-
fore that an isthmian canal viii be con-
structed. That either the Nicaragua or the
Panama route win be chosen is certain,
but there is considerable doubt as to
which Of them viii be taken.

A eratuitous Outrage.


The most damnable outrage which has
ever been perpetrated by any citizen of
tho United States was committed yester-
day by the president, when he invited a
niger to dine with him at the white
house. It would not be worth more
than passing notice if Theodore Roose-
welt had sat down to dinner In. his own
home with a Pullman Palace car porter,
but Roosevelt the individual and Roose-
Welt the president are not to be viewed
in the some light.
When the president of the United States
sits at dinner with a niger in the white
house he announces to the people not
, only of the United States, but of the
world-because this is the proudest ma
ton in the world-that any niger who
happens to have a little more than the
average amount of intelligence granted
by the Creator of his race, and cash
enough to pay the tailor and the barber
and the perfumer for scents enough to
take away the natural niger smell, has
perfect right to be received by the
daughter of the white man among the
guests in the parlor at his own home.
Nothing could have happened which
would prove more conclustvely to the
American citizen the absolute incompe-
tency and unworthiness of Theodore
Roosevelt to occupy the position which
he has won by chance than the circum-
stance in question. 1t justifies every
harsh criticism which has been made or
him and forces this newspaper to retract
every complimentary thing which 1t has
uttered in his behalf. He is after all not
a statesman, but a mere swashbuckler
and something else, with which we hesi-
tate to offend the ears of our readers:
Abraham Lincoln, the greatest president
and perhaps the greatest man the United
States has ever known, was In favor OF
the freedom of the Niger, but Aoraham
Lincoln was too big and broad man
ever to have suggested by any act OF ms
so awful q. thing as the amalgamation OF
the races, and this is what TINS man
Roosevelt has done.
The president has rudely shattered
anv expectations that may have arisen
from his announced intention to make
the Republican party in the south re-
snectabie. He has closed the door to
any accessions of southern white men TO
the Republican ranks. There are many man.
respectable Republicans in the south.
hut none of them would think OF lnVlIins
a black man to his table.

Was to Be Expected.
Mnntromerv journal.


The Journal publishes in another coli
umn a communication from prominent
citizen of Montgomery, protesting against
the action of President Roosevelt in lnVit-
ing Booker T. Washington, negro TO
the white house to dine with his family
Mr.. Roosevelt is simply putting into
practice the theories of his party, tneo-
ries and policies urged and advocated LOT
nearly half century, and what he mas
had the courage to do is but the natural
result Of years of teaching and preaching.
Other Republican presidents before
Roosevelt have been either hypocrites In
their pretention of their great afrection
and love for the negro because he is
negro. or they have lacked the moral
courage to carry out and put into practice
the teachings and preachings Of the par
ty in all these years.
Mr.. Roosevelt's cordial invitation to
Booker Washington to dine with him and
his family, and his desire to consult MIN
further about southern appointments, and
10 have hear-to-heart talk with him on
current southern affairs, were all no
doubt sincere, and grew out of natural
conditions brought on by the Republican
party.
All this has happened in good time IT
comes when there was about to be mad
rush of thoughless Democrats into the
Republican party, pell nell, regardless,
1t pulls the blinds off, makes clear the
policies of the Republican party and no
man in the south now need be deceived as
to where he will land when he starts into
the Republican party. He knows in ad-
vance what Republicanism means. He
ought 10 have known before. But there
is no need for him to be deceived. If he
is willing to accept it now, with his eyes
open, it is all we'll enough. He can go
and be damned.

THE sAMAR DISASTERS.

The country has been shocked by an
other slaughter OF its troops in the is
land Of samar which came in quick sue
cession to the fearful disaster that oc-
CURED only a few days ago in the same
island with the same regiment as it's vic
tim.
In the first surprise of the Ninth infan-
try by the bloodthirsty samar bolomen
more than 40 United States regulars were
slain and last Friday ten more met their
death.
1t is poor consolation that hundred or
more FiIipinos were killed in these fights.
There is no proportion by which we can
measure the value of the lives of our
soldiers against those Of these desperate
islanders.
The populous island Of samar is clearly
a hotbed Of revolt and more blood must be
shed before its enraged people can be
subjected. That there are in many other
parts of the archipelago hosts of natives
who only await the command of a daring
leader to rise and fight cannot be reasona-
bly, doubted. The announcement that no
more trouble need be expected in the Phil
ippines that was made so confidently soon
after Aguinaldo was captured was an evil
dence Of gross ignorance Of the situation.
II Is on a line with the assurances that
the war was over which were sent every
few days after the beginning of the trou-
bic that has now been going on nearly
two years. Now more troops are to go tc
the Philippines and we fear that there will
be war there in one guise or another for
a long time TO come.
