His Life Saved bY Monpoose.

Mr.. Jacob Newman passed through
the city last night on his way to st.
Louis to visit his parents. Mr.. New
1nan is just from India. where he has
been engaged in engineering work, and
he talks ENTERTAINMENT. Among his
stories he related an exciting adj
venture with a cobra.
I'VE a just finished a hard days
work and were preparing to take a
good rest. We were far from a village,
and took shelter in a deserted hut. We
did not reach the hut until after mid
night. and consequently we slept late
into the next day. The first thing L
remember upon opening my eyes was
q flood of light through the door. l
was nearest. and my two companions
were behind me. On a second glance
my blood almost froZe. There on the
floor of the hut, and less than two feet
from me was a large cobra, the larg-
est I have ever seen. 1t was coiled to
strike. and its enomo neck swelled
with poison. The little eyes glittered
like beads. I new moved a limb, but
Sazed at it in horror My perfect still
hess probably saved my life, for II l
had made a move the snake would
lave struck. AS it was. it seemed to
be enjoying the triumph, and slowly
moved it's read backward and forward.
/ dare not utter a sound. as L knew 1t
would seal my fate.
Il was just resolving in my mind
what to do. and had determined to
make a quick leap. when there was a
rush from a far corner. A small n
NAL about the size OF rat darted out
from behind the snake. and like a
fash seized it by the neck just above
the hood. And hen commenced the
f~iercest struggle I have ever witnessed.
The snake lunged. writhed and twist
ed, but the little animal chung to 1t.
At length it's struggles grew weaker
and I was enabled to dispatch it with
a stick. The little animal was a mon
goose, the famous India cobra fighter.
AS soon as the snake was dead it fled
to it's hiding place and we could no
coax it out. If ever / felt grateful to
man or beast it was to the little mon
goose that saved my iife."-Louisvile

this effect: Assassins of the anarchist
variety should be denied the recon-
penSe for which they cheerfuliy risk
their lives. They should under no cir
cumStanceS be paraded in the neWspa-
pers; no publication calculated to feed
their craving for notoriety or TO furnish
material of rejoicing to their crazy as
sociates should be permitted; the wild
beast hould be thrown into a hole from
whence he can never escape. his identi-
ty destroyed, his very name withheld,
both the nature of his fate and the time
Of it's realization kept a secret foreN.r-
The reward he seeks should be made
impossible-no confessions" no long
stories about his aspirations. his en-
vironment. hi struggles. his birthplaes>
his family. for the sensational newspa-
pers to elaborate, to dwell upon and To
intensity with illustrations; nothing but
silence, mystery, oblivion. Under the
operation of such a policy the assassin
would simply disappear without leay-
ing a trace behind. He would never
see himself in print; never pose as the
central figure of a criminal court
drama; never be able to communicate
with or hear from his friends. He
would simply deepen the obscurity
against which he had rebeiled and per-
ish in a more hideous darkness than
he had ever dreamed Of.
AS We have said, 1t encourages US to
find sc powerful a leader OF popular
thought among the advocates of the
true philosophy. There can be no
doubt as TO its correctness. The knowl-
edge that hopeless implacable absolute
oblivion was to swallow him would de-
prive the anarchist of his incentive and
transform him into an innocuous IL a
worthless loafer. Now that The Jour-
nal has taken up the good cause-giying
nearly a column OF editorial matter TO
an ~elucidation OF its virtues as a de-
%terrent, and devoting the six whole
pages to starting histories, b!oot-curd-
ling speculations. and lurid Illustrations

Journalism our esteemed contemporary
prepares the way for its brief u feel
ing protest in the last half. II is not
enough TO say that newspaper notorie-
ty. pictures, gossip, ETC., encourage az

home by an elaborate object lession of

All Of which makes US say what we
do say: The New York Journal leads

War on Anarchists.

oA
The attempt to aSSaSSinate President
Mckinley has started a movement to
crush out anarchists and anarchfsm IN
this n 1t is a movement that
will have the support of the people
the whole people, except the few
groups of anarchists in various parts
of the country. 1t would be an easy
matter to raise such a storm against
anarchists that all of them woul
have to find a home speedily under an
other flag.
And there is no reason why any con-
sideration should be shown them.
They are against organized govern
ment and organized society. They are
not entitled therefore to live under and
enjoy the protection of a government
which they would destroy if they
could.
1t was in August, 1894, hat Hon.
David B. Hill, then United States SEN
ator introduced a bill into the senate
not only to prevent alien anarchists
from landing in this country, but also
to send out of the cOuntr any alien
anarchists who might be ound-th
is, any alien anarchists who threaten
ed to be a source Of trouble.
That bill was passed promptly n
sent to the house. 1t was referred to
the IuulSlll0ES ALNAS w.
two members OF that committee who
objected 20 it on the ground that it
was too sweeping: that under its pro-
visions injustice to innocent men might
be done. The outcome was that con-
gress adjourned before anything was
lone by Ike house with the bill, am
at the next session it was not taken up.
There are good reasons for thinking
that the bill vas not too radical. In
order to protect innocent men provis-
sion was made for the writ OF habeas
corpus. 1t may be that If the bill had
become a law anarchism would have
been pressed so closely that there
would not have been enough OF 1t left
in the United states to inspire the at
tack on President Mckinley.
4 bill, similar to this one OF Mr..
Hills but perhaps more radical, VIII
be introduced into ongress in DeceTn-
Der. and it is a safe prediction that
there will be so little opposition to II
hat it will be passed promptly. 1t
would be a source of satisfaction TO the
American people to know that every
anarchist a been driven out o. the
country.-SavaEnal News.

Disseminating AssaSsfns

1t gives us pleasure to observe the
spirit in which the esteemed New YORK
Journal approaches the question OF an
archy. No nobler or more intelligent
views have yet been expressed In con-
nection with the Buffalo tragedy The
esteemed Journal is saturated with per-
fectIy correct ideas as TO the methods
which should be adopted in b case Of
the murderer. n these ideas are
shovered upon the public with admira-
bic huency and force. Let us transfer
TO this humble page a few specimen
gems of journal thought by way OF IL
l~ustration:

non-sensational.
1T must be made clear TO this par
ticular murderer and to all those infect
ed with the immoral poison Of anarchy
and murder that the case Of CZolgosz
is simply a case Of murder.
Only two explanations are possible
for such a crime as hat which shocks
human nature.
'tFirst-Insanity, murderous paranoia-
"Second-Insane egotism, a diseased
craving for notoriety, which in its IN
tensity amounts TO mania.
such murders as are based on vanity
are best discouraged by that which dis
appoints the criminals desire for noto-
riety."

very far in the minority in this country.
From Jefferson's days onward a major
ity of Americans have looked at Cuba
as a future acquisition of the United
States. Many American presidents-Jef-
ferson, Madison, Manroe, Adams,
Jackson, Polk. Pierce, and Buchanan
have expressed themselves in favor of
Cuban annexation. Many American
statesmen. aside from presidents-Clay,
Calhoun Cass, Mason, Soule, and
scores of others-have favored annexa-
ton. This aspiration of a century's
duration will not be vain. Cuba will
one day be part of the United States,
but she will try the experiment of self
government first.-St. Louis Globe
