A MORAL LEPER.

There is no word in the English Ian
guage that carries SO much of hatred,
scorn, loathing and contempt as the
word "scab." Once branded and a man
is marked for life. There is no escape.
1t is infinitely worse than the brand
that was placed on Cain. It goes with
a man everywhere. It shadows his
every footstep. 1t never downs. and no
wonder, for it is synonym of all that
is mean, contemplate and unmanly.
It designates the loss of dignity honor,
principle and manhood. 1t signifies
that it is impossible for it's owner to
descend to lower depths. He has tried
to undermine men who are battling for
the bread and butter of their wives and
children. He has sought to defeat his
fellows and rivet the chains of oppres-
sion around him. Judas Iscariot or
Benedict Arnold would never have
sunk so low. The criminal from the
penitentiary may, in some degree, re-
habitate his character, but the "scab"
is an eternal fixture, a living monu-
ment of self-intlicted shame, reproach
to honest men, something that bears
from whom the dignity of manhood has
departed forever. AS men slnun the
leper for fear of physical contamina-
ton, so they shun the ''scab" for fear
of moral contamination. When a. man
has descended 50 low as to deserve this
vile title it is as eternal as though
craven on marble tablets or plates Of
brass. It never deserts him. It even
descends with him to the grave, and
0ccursed is his memory.

WILLIAM M'KINLEY.

The president is dead. Our worse
fears are realized. The whole nation
Is weeping with bowed heads. A good
true citizen could not even smile this
week, for his heart was heavy laden.
Never before in the history of any ma
ton has there been such an expression
of sorrow among all the people. They
felt that they had lost dear friend,
and the loss is indeed a nations loss.
William Mckinley was an American.
This alone is a proud distinction for
any man. That he was the first citizen
in America made him the first citizen
of the world, for the American citizen
Is the greatest on earth. His was an
exemplary life. Every young American
who reads it will find hope for great
things in this world. He was an ex-
ample of domesticity, and every hus-
band who loves his wife can receive
from him lesson in patience, faithful
ness and love. His confidence in Am
erica and her institutions will give the
most pessimistic of us food for kindlier
thought. Since he has gone, we see his
goodness, where we saw weakness be-
fore.
But what of his assassin? The poor,
cruel and degenerate Czolgosz? When
the news Of the presidents death was
broken to him, he cOldly replied that 1t
was what he intended. When ask
ed If he regretted it, he answered that
he did not, and the only thing he re-
GREETED was that he would have to pay
the penalty. Just notice the cowardice
of the wretch. It is in keeping with
the cowardly act that cost the president
his life. All assassins are towards
They arel Ike the poisonous snake hid
Ing in the grass ready to spring upon
Its prey, but some snakes give a
moments warning, an assassin never
does. Mark the bastard as he extends
the right hand of fellowship to demo-
cratic ruler, and then see him with his
left hand fire the shots that are to take
away his life. Oh! the cruelty and de-
ceit of the act is terrible. Is not man
a hopeless wretch who can take pride in
such? Can Emma Goldman, or any of
her followers, who claim that they are
striving to establish true brotherhood
on earth find anything commendable in
the act? The mask has been torn away.
Their teachings has borne fruit, and
nothing has been accomplished, except
that anarchy is doomed. Nothing but
an evolutionary educational movement
will succeed in this, the best of all the
nations on earth.

Anarchists who advocate violence
and we believe most Of them do-have
much to answer for, but it is unjust to
accuse them of every assassination.
Lincoln was the victim Of a man mad
dened by the outcome of the war, who
thought, by killing the president, old
slavery conditions would be restored.
Garfield and the elder Carter H. Har-
rison, Of Chicago, were murdered by
disappointed office-seekers. The assas-
sination of Governor Goebel, of Ken
lucky, was the work of men calling
themselves republicans, and was excus-
ed by the very papers which now are
advocating a curtailment of the right
Of habeas corpus and suppression of
free speech. In fact, the only shooting
by an avowed anarchist is that Of Pres
1dent McKinley-but it was the foulest
crime Of all

DEBS ON ASSASSINATION.

cannot conceive the motive for an
attack on a man who 10 so universally
admired as is President Mckinley.
The deed was not that of a mailman.
The method he pursued shows that the
act was cody and deliberately planned.
1t is one of the periodical outbreaks Of
a fostering society. One cannot imagine
the mental status OF a man 80 mean,
so cowardly, so brutal as to join in the
throng Of humanity that was pressing
forward to greet the president and have
the murder Of the one whose hand he
sought to grasp, In his heart.
Under the pretense of greeting him as
an admirer, he shot down the president
to give to the world the definition of his
own misery. He did not shoot Mr.. Nc
Kinley because he was Mr.. Mckinley.
1t was because he represented the great
American people as their chief execu-
tive, and he thought that by ending the
presidents life he would give solace to
his own aching heart.
It is just a chapter In life's story. The
poor miner is borne to his cabin in the
throes of DEATH. His wife falls. at his
side with the same grief as that felt by
Mrs. Mckinley, one of the noblest and
best women that ever lived. The miner
dies and the world knows nothing of it.
The sorrow does not go beyond the cir
Gle of his own household and friends.
The world would feel McKinley's loss,
yet the sorrow of his own family could
poor miners.
Men are driven into desperate straits
and they cannot fail to make an outcry
or to offend the higher realm of society.
Ground to merciless poverty there can
not fail to be an uprising. That spirit
of love for justice cannot be suppress
sed. The lower walks of life must and
will cry out. When men who fought
for principle are shot down because
they dare to assert their rights, the
mutterings Of those oppressed" must
able outbreaks as this attack on the
president, that cowardly seekers after
vengeance find solace in.
AS long as the world lasts there will
be this disgruntled, fest1ring, degrading
class of peace disturbers that believes
justice can be obtained only by such
acts as that of last Friday.
Vice-President Roosevelt would not
be assassinated. Strange to say anar-
chy does not assert itself against a
military man. It is always the man
from the civic walks that is attacked
True, Mckinley had civil war record,
but that is forgotten since the Spanish
American war has been added to hist
ory. Grant went without body guards
and was not molested. He was wor-
SHIPPED as a military hero. Roosevelt
could do the same thing without being
mOlested.
AS long as this system lasts, however,
there will be mutterings from those
who are oppressed or think they are
oppressed, and such murderous attacks
as the one on Mckinley will be made
by demons who can find revenge only
in blood.-Eugene V. Debs.

Organized labor every where has
made its position plain during the; past
few days. In every city where there Is
a labor union, the trade unionist has
not only deplored the assassination Of
our president, but he has very forci-
ably condemned it. He realizes that
the cowardly act has done harm to
every reform movement, in SO much
that it has discouraged many who look
upon the surface of things. I. Every
trade unionist should now more than
ever become a careful student of the
economic questions. He will meet ar
guments, that unless he thoroughly
posted, will be difficult to. answer. Be-
ing member of that element Of dis
content so often referred to in these
days, he will be charged with being
instrumental in producing such men az
Czolgosz. OF course it would be folly
to argu with any one on that point, but
such assertions are made, and usually
by men from whom better things are
expected. Trade unionists! stand by
your organizations. They are not revo-
lutionary, they are educational and
evolutionary. They are American be-
cause they are peaceful, hence, no trade
unionist need be ashamed of them.
