TEACHERS OF MALICE.

The death of President Mckinley is
not directly chargeable to any political
party or individual other than the
assassin Czolgosz.
There, however, can be no question
as to the nature, effect and tendency of
slanderous utterances, directed at law,

It is surprising that in Nebraska,
where every form of treasonable Ian
guage and violence of speech has been
coined and used to further the ambition
of political parasites and plain people
sycophants, that some of the seeds of
anarchistic teachings have not fallen on
one whose narrow brain is already
soaked in the poison of anarchy, or the
diappointments of political insanity.
