General Sheridan used to say the
only good Indians he ever saw were
dead ones. Cannot the same thing
be said of the p~resent-day anarchist:
and IL this be SO the best Of all an
archists, dead % alive, is the one who
took his own life the other day rather
than carry out the death mission on
which he was going to Europe. The
cable dispatches announce that an an
archist who had been chosen to as
sassinate a potentate CT Europe COM
mitted suicide while on his way across
b ocean from New York. During the
voyage his heart Jailed him and he pre-
ferred death at his W hands to TAX
ing chances Of what his fate might be
If he attempted the crime. He knew
h a death was his fate. either under
h law IL he killed the monarch, whom
his associates had decreed to death. or
at h hands Of those associates if he
backed down from attempting the das-
tardly deed.
Thls man was allowed to take pas
sage on the steamer without inquiry or
moIestation. He had nearly reached
Gibraltar when, through fear of the
consequences Of his intended deed, he
took his w life. Why was this? He
surely was known as an anarchist: if
not he should nave been known to the
police and secret service men of this
country 1t was their duty to know
that this nan was an anarchist. and
that he had boarded the ship to sail
across the Atlantic alone and on a
secret mission. That was pretty posi-
tive proof that there was some deviltry
afoot. No anarchist steps aboard a
steamer alone and as secretly as pos
sible and sails for Europe unless there
is a murder scheme on hand. But for
the cowardice Of this man the world
would probably now be again horri-
fed at the cold blooded assassination
of one of the kings of Europe.
If ever despotiC rule were excusable
or justifiable it IS in dealing with and
stamping out this society of blood
thirsty scoundrels. 2 There is no rea-
son or excuse Under the sun for allow
ing them to exist. They surely do not
more consideration at the
hands of the law than they accord to
men who have never
wronged them. They have raised their
hand against every man, and every
mans hand should be raised against
them. Our government should not rest
until every n Of them has been driven
beyond our borders never to be allowed
to return.

THE PHILIPPINE FRIAR LANDS.

One of the important questions raised
regarding the expatriation of the Phil
ipDine friars was what should be done
regarding the disposition OF the vast
tracks of fertile lands owned by them.
These could not be conf1scated. The
friars would be entitled to fair COM
~pensation for them. Tie question was
raised as to how the owners should be
paid and what disposition made Of the
lands. 1t turns out hat American
spectators have stepped in and bought
immense bodies of these LANDS from the
friars who sold in anticipation of hav-
ing to leave the stands and the sup
position is that they made great sacri-
fees in selling to these American land
grabbers.
Now the question arises: Did not the
officials at Washington or in Manila
know all along that this American ex-
ploitation in friar lands were going on
while they were negotiating with the
authorities of the Catholic church for
the removal from the islands of the
friars? 1t could hardly nave been pos
sible for negotiations for and sales of
these lands, about which there was this
contention and to which thereby public
attention had been attracted, Upon such
a large scale, without the officials at one
or the other place having c~ognizance
thereof. 1t looks as if our government
had, knowingly, or if unknowingly,
through careless neglect made itself a
party to the schemes of the Americans
who have been taking advantage of the
position of the friars to scoop up a
large part of the best lands of the is
land. 1t would be refreshing to know
what military and civil officers in the
Philippines own stock in these land
companies. We venture to say a cor
rect list of these stockholders would
contain the names of a GOOD many of
these officers, or perhaps members of
their families. The government should
investigate this matter Of the purchase
Of these friar lands.

TO II
Bill in Equity Filed to Prevent Dis
elimination Against Wilmington.
Especial to The Messenger.)

tSpeCIdl " LIZ N1eSSSlSeT.D
Raleigh, N. c., August 15.-United
States District Attorney Skinner went
to Wilmington today to file a bill in
equity in case of interstate commerce
commission against the Cincinnati,
Portsmouth ana Virginia Railroad
Company and about forty other roads,
including the Southern, Atlantic Coast
Line, Seaboard Air Line. and their con-
nections to Chicago, ST. Louis, Louis
vile and other points.
The bill is retuInable September 18th.
Three years ago the Interstate COM
mission sitting in Wilmington heard
the suit brought by the Wilmington
Tariff Association against the same de-
endan roads TOR an adjustment of
freight rates so there o not be dis
crimiDation against Wilmington as
compared with Norfolk. Richmond and
other Virginia cities of freight on ship
ments from Western points, the con-
ditionS being such that by reason of
favorable rates Virginia cities enjoyed
great advantage owe Wilmington in
wholesale trade with Carolina points.
The commissioner ruled in favor Of
Wilmington and for adjustment OF
rates, but has been powerless TO en-
force their order. The pending bill in
equity invoke The power of the fed
eral court to enforce it.

Oughly pOpulistic in principle:
'!The federal government furnishes our river i'm
provements, mail carrying facilities, our cIrren-
cy, and performs every other important Junction;
80 why should it not take hand in the fire insur-
ance businessf The government should manage
this business in such way as to make rates about
half way what they now are, and the protection
would be absolute. Incendiarism and arson would
be reduced to the minimum, and the Insurance
Trust would fade away The benefits are appar-
eHt at a glance.
'There would be the objection that is urged
against everything the government does, that it is
paternalism but the furnishing OF fire insurance at
a minimum would surely be as proper as the i'm
prOVement of water ways the building OF roads, the
supply of money orders or the establishment OF
postal savings banks. And governmental insurance
would confer benefit upon every citizen OF the Re
public except paupers and tramps for all others are
directly in both real and personal property that re-
Quire the protection of fire insurance. The gov
eTnment could furnish insurance very cheaply.
1t could get along without a reserve fund, and 1t
could dispense with the salaries of agents.
This is quite as logical argument in behalf Ol
government insurance orthodox populist
could produce.
Government insurance is certainly as simple and
as necessary an experiment in governmental owner
ship as the nation could make A system Oi
government fire and life insurance, coupled with an
old age pension, would do much to relieve the peO
pie of burdens and free them from distress.
\, The same issue of the Commercial also brings an
other important point to immediate notice. 'Whal
if Morgan Should Diet" asks the editor, who pro
ceeds to show how completely, under present cOndi-
tOna, financial affairs are interviewer with the per
sonality of j. PierpOnt Morgan. And reviewing
the matter carefully the Commercial asks:
eff Morgan should die what would become of usf
is serious question: bui if Morgan should live,
what is to become of usi is more serious question
The constitutional guaranty to every man OF the
right to pursue happiness in his own way is not
worth much when Mr.. Morgan has control of every
field in which happiness is supposed to be- and when
can hardly breathe without getting permission from
Mr.. Morgan"
1t is indeed time for us to stop and ask, "Whith
er are we drifting as a nationf" when one man en-
compasses the financial and industrial life of the
nation completely as does Morgan, the uncrOwnnd
king of America.
