IMPORTANT ARREST.
Nashville Police Think They Have
Made Big Catch.

Nashville. Oct. 16.-The Nashville
police think they have made one of the
most important captures of recent
years in the arrest of Annie Rogers,
alias Maud Williams, white woman
about 26 years of age who is thought
to be directly connected with the gang
of robbers who, on July 3, 1901, about
2 80 p. M, held up and robbed a Great
Northern express train near Wagner,
Mont, when they secured $43. 600 in
bank notes. This arrest, it is believed
by General Superintendent e. S. Gay
lor, of the Pinkerton agency, at Chic
ago. who is in the city, will lead to
the ultimate apprehension of the entire
gang of robbers and the recovery of
much of the stolen money. The arrest
was made at the Fourth National
Bank. Some bank notes which the
woman presented to the teller to have
changed corresponded identically with
notes stolen in the big robbery. The
discovery was made by means of a
circular which had been sent to banks
throughout the United States.

ovERMEYER ON ANARCHY.

The Kansas City Times publishes the
following article form the pen Of one
of the veteran democrats of Kansas,
Hon. David Overmeyer
~ have long known that there are
people calling themselves anarchists
who do not believe in murder or
violence. The time has come, how
ever, when these should change their
name Anarchy was always a bad
name for people who want peace and
who yearn for platonic age. They
adopted that name after it had gained
an evil significance. If they look for
ward to Utopia or to the millennium,
they might call themselves 'Utopians
or 'Millennialists. If they favor the
idea of non-resistance to evil they
might be 'Tolstoians. The word
anarchy should be blotted from the
vocabulary of civilization.
"But while there are avowed anar-
Culblb WIN dO hOb ploNbiSO NpobA hSpi w
anarchy there are also people who do
not avow themselves anarchists who
really are such. Every officer who
violates his oath or who violates the
constitution every officer or person
who is willing to resort to mob rule
or to withhold even from anarchists
their lawful right to fair trial under
the law; all of the countless persons
and institutions who evade and disre.
gard the law and cheat justice know
ingly; all who cover up lawlessness by
coercing dependent employees to com
nit perjury in their interest, con
crosses and Legislatures who pas
knowingly unconstitutional statutes
and courts that pervert Justice al
these are anarchists in fact.
''The disease of the age is lawless
ness. If it would only cease in higl
places it..would be comparatively easy
to stop it in low places.

A SERIOUS QUARREL.

Badly Cut.

Arthur Frierson and Henry Rodgers

Frierson is employed at the livery
stable, while Rodgers is driver 1or
D. S. Gordon, the butcher. The ne
groes quarreled over some trivial mat,

heavy blow over the head with a piece

Rodgers then pulled his knife anu

COLORED REFORMERS.
They Organize Club and Endorse
the Nichols Ticket.

Municipal politics are quiet. The
Nichols ticket gives general satisfac-
ton, and some people think will have
no organized opposition, though a dis
gruntled few have been and are still
trying very hard to get themselves to-
gether and bring out ticket to lead
their forlorn hope for them. These
disgruntled few are composed in the
main of place hunters and wouldbe
pie eaters, and that patriotic class of
poison dispensers who want special
legislation to suit their business.
But the latest move on the checker
board was made few nights since by
some OF the leading negroes of the city,
who, without any white interference or
meddling met and organized and en-
dorsed the Reform Party platform, and
the Nichols ticket. from end to end.
They like the platform of Flaw, order
and economy for they know from ex-
perience that they are the first to suffer
| from lawlessness and disorder. And
they take the sensible view of it, that
Board composed of representative
men, chosen to serve the people, will
give them better protection and faireI
treatment, than Board chosen by a
special class to look after their especia,
interest. These we are told were in
substance the arguments used at the
meeting.
They organized under the name OF
the GOOD Government Club. F" Rev.
J. S. Gilmore was elected chairman
and Geo. W. Brown, vice-chalrman
VIM. Iellner. secretary, and R. d.
Ward, assistant, and Lewis Marshall
business manager.
Among other prominent negroes
present were, J. Il. Green, Jas. Cor
don, H. Kennedy. VIM. Edmondson
Soloman Joyce. Matt Stevenson. Ros
Frierson and Larkin Brown. A resolu
ton was passed requesting the cit,
press to report their organization. anC
to exl end an invitation to all colored
citizens who favor law. order anC

Government Club. and help the indus

SOCIALISM AND ANARCHY.

Phoenix, Arizona Oct. a. 1901.
Editor Herald Since the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley, | often
notice Socialism" mentioned in con-
nection with Anarchy. What rela-
ton is there between the twoY What
is socialism, Please answer the above
questions in the columns or the Weekly
Herald, for the benefit of
CONSTANT READER.
There is not the least connection be-
tween Anarchy and Socialism, further
than that they are both radical ideas ;
and this is the reason perhaps for the
popular error that associates them to-
gether.
Anarchy is want of all gov
eminent; political chaos; with I'M
restrained personal liberty licensed to
do as it pleases.
Socialism is utopian theory which
advocates not only the political but the
social equality of all men, and an
equal distribution of wealth.
Anarchy would disrupt, overthrow
and destroy all government, while
Socialism would erect a higher and
more perfect form of government, and
establish a more harmonious arrange
ment of the social relations of mankind
than has yet been attained.
Anarchy and Socialism are as unlike
as day and night. Anarchy is dark
ness. Socialism is light.
There are two schools-or classes-o1
anarchists. The philosophical IAN
archist' does not advocate violence,
but would undermine all government
and law by refusing to obey. The
"organized anarchists" are the violen
type you read about. theoretically thu
difference between them is broad bu
practically it is narrow. 1t amount
to about this: The philosophical
anarchist does the talking; tn
"organized anarc his" does the kill
ing. Emma Goldman is "philosophi
cal anarchist and she it was who in
cited Czolgosz to do his bloody work
Socialism would have the State EN-
ploy all Of its citizens and provide 70
their necessities. Not according t
their value to the state, but ACCORDING
to their needs 1t would require fror
the weakling less labor than from tn
strong, but would give to each accord
ing to his needs Every man an
woman able to work, would be CON
PEELED by law to do the part put upo
them; but the old and sick and palsie
would fare as sumptuously every da
as tie young and strong and healthy
; ThJre would be no poverty; neithe
would there be any individual wealth
The State would own us all, ant
work us all, and care for us all
If you want a more comprehend,
definition of Socialism read "Lookin
Backward, by Edward Bellamy.
If you want more comprehensiy
l definition of Anarchy, read Dante
Inferno

BEFORE THE WAR.

We shall not discuss the fright of
secession, though we hold it as self
evident a proposition as any other
right guaranteed by the Federal Con-
stitution. But the advocates of that
sacred right were outnumbered and
are wisely and philosophically sub
hitting without murmurings to the
inevitable.
To discuss this phase of the question
for which the best blood of the South
was spilled and lost, would be stale,
fiat and Improbable " in this age
and hour of commercialism and cor
porations; so our purpose is not to dis
cuss dead issue, but to draw COM
parsons between then and now, sug
gestive possibly of mistakes made and
mistakes to be avoided.
When Mr. Lincoln took unto himself
the power, nolens volens, without
consulting Congress or the constitu-
tion, to issue his great emancipation
proclamation, he thereby with one
mighty stroke of his pen gave freedom
to the Negro race.
Prior to that time white men were
permitted to own negroes, and these
owners or their accredited overseers or
agents but nobody else-were allowed
to whip those slaves.
No one else, mind you, was permitted
that cruel privilege. Now anybody
may whip them, kill them, burn them,
shoot them down by the dozen on
their return from festivals, without
fear of the law or the officers thereof.
Before the war, owners or employers
of slaves, who required greater labor
from them than they were able to per-
form, or failed to properly feed and
clothe them, We're fined and imprisoned
How is it now? That was higher
privilege than the white slaves of to-
day enjoy. Compare the pure fresh
air of the farm, the wholesome food
and comfortable clothing Of the Negro
before the war, with the ''sweat
shops" in cities and the long hours and
short pay and no care of the corpora
tions for their employees, and from &
humanitarian standpoint draw you
own conclusion.
To sell liquor to slave was a mis-
demeanor. The States thought thai
much more of their slaves than tn,
government does Of its citizens. Henc,
our jails and penitentiaries now ar
crowded with colored citizens, wherea
before the war it was not so.
White persons before the war, wer
not permitted to gamble with slaves
or even with free persons of color
Now that is common pastime in tn
proud old aristocratic county of Maury
In thinking Of before the war, ant
since the war, and the causes that LEI
up to the war; you might dwell upol
this. The barbarous cruelty of com
paratively few slave owners prejudice
the civilized world against the South
Just SO will the barbarous cruelty c
the low and vicious few who constitut
the mob perpetuate that prejudice i
the hearts and minds of all christer
dom.
