himself obnoxious to people IN New-York. but he
considered in the light Of a nuisance

Gus character. Nevertheless the police wanted
be rid OF him. he shipped away to bother
else.
Much the same process followed with Emma
Goldman She caused uneasiness by her infaul-
matory speeches. and the police, by e mandate
which was somewhat illogical from a legal point
OF view, told her git OUT be arrested. She
went away, and appears. by the confession OF the
man who attempted to assassinate President
Mckinley, TO have been the indirect cause of that
crime.
No one. particularly in New-York will be inclined
to quarrel with the police for these acts. which
are not sanctioned by any written law OF this
State They only call attention to the practice of

way or another. In fact naturalists say the same

II is all done in that spirit OF preservation which
induces people 10 protect themselves and Others
do the same thing. The who turns his 1iso-
bedfent and dissolute out OF the house works
on the same plan. He is q nuisance to his father
so the parents send him away, to be a nuisance TO
some else.
