The Stone Ransom Claim.

a report comes again from London by
way of COnstantinople that the sultan has
fatty refused the demand of the United
States for the repayment of the Stone ran
som money. The report lacks verification,
and probably for the reason that no such
demand has yet been made by the United
States Some time ago Minister Leshman
engaged in the preliminary negotiations for
the aScertainment of the degree Of Tur-
keys responsibility in the premises. Imme-
diately a statement came out of Constanti-
nople 10 the effect that the sultan had
denied responsibility and had refused to
pay 1t was later learned that the eX-
change of views at Constantnople had pro-
dTced no such result. Some one, watching
the case either for the sake of an occasional
news paragraph or for some ulte rior politi-
cal purpose. has apparently taken advantage
Of further stage of the negotiations to re-
peat the declaration of the sultan's flat
tusal to pay. In time will doubtless come an
official denial of the assertion. Meanwhile
II Is interesting to Americans to know just
why this situation is being thus juggled in
Turkey The other day came report from
somewhere in eastern Europe that Russia
had allowed the United States to know that
she would not tolerate the applicatio of
american pressure on the sultan to secure
payment. There was no basis for the state
ment, as far as the facts were disclosed
here and at st. Petersburg nevertheless
the continental gossips speculated upon it
as though 1t had been substantiated
Europe is evidently taking an interest in
the Stone ransom claim, perhaps more even
than the United States is taking today.
This government is desirous of course.
~that all its rights be preserved by diplo-
matte means, and that the safety Of
American citizens travelling in the Balkans
shall not be later menaced In consequence
of the outcome of these negotiations But
while Il would like to secure the money
back from the brigands or from Turkey, it
Is not SO intent upon the funds as upon the
principle for which it is now standing. As
"a matter Of fact, il would be somewhat
embarrassing for the United States to be
Obliged to- reimburse the donors of the
ransom fund hundreds OF whom gave
anonymously.

An Anarchist Challenge.

The anarchists Il appears. are following
the debate in the Senate on the bill to pro-
tect the President Of the United States with
interest and characteristic defiance. They
pretend not to be disturbed as to the out
come. In their opinion any law in line with
the bill now under discussion viii fail of
It's object. They will meet the issue at all
times and in all forms.
Only the other day. pamphlets were dis
trbuted in some of the busiest streets in
New York setting forth anarchist doctrines
and proclaiming anarchist purposes. In one
of them appeared this statement:
"Anarchists have no fear Of any laws
Roosevelt may enact for the suppression of
anarchy Certain individuals may be per-
secuted. Persecution manures the soil upon
which ideas grow. Hang a man Scaf-
fold, and you hang his ideas on the stars.
IF the act of Czolgosz were inspired by
some personal grievance he might have had
against Mckinley. If 1t were the result of
some real or fancied personal injury, all
men alike might justly regard him as q
common assassin But anarchists and many
who are not. anarchists discriminate be-
tween acts inspired by motives of narrow
personal revenge and those acts performed
with the hope of benefitng humanity.
Hence. they do not class CzOlgosZ as COM
mon assassin. but as a lover of mankind.
They consider the shooting of the Presi-
dent merely as social act, and claim that
the assassin was justified in taking the life
of the ruler Of this land
We see from this that the anarchists
themselves make the very distinctions that
are insisted on by the advocates of the
Senate measure. They divide assassins into
two classes: common aSsaSSinS and so
ciaf' assassins. In their vile parlance, the
killing of President Mckinley is describe
as a social act" The individual did not
enter into the calculations of Czolgosz If
he had, CzolgOsz would have been but a
common assassin. and all men would be
justified in execrating his memory But
he struck at the state. He performed the
social act' with his pistol, and was there
fore a social assassin. For killing Presi-
dent Mckinley he is entitled to admiration
and gratitude.
The thing to do is to take these mis-
creants up at their own appraisement of
themselves. Let Us provide the rope for
both kinds of aSSaSSinS. There ought to
be social hangings we'll as common hang
ings. The punishment should fit the crime
The man who takes upon himself-as Presi-
dents are warned now that they do-the
perils of office should be surrounded with
ali the protection possible under the law
and the law be broadened to make sure
that no assassin for any reason escapes the
extreme punishment. There are those who
as we see, glory in the striking at the
state. They give high praise to their as
sociates who perform the act 1t Is emf
nently proper therefore that there should
be law covering their cases. and insuring
them the distinction on the gallows that
they covet.

The Patriotic Impulse.

Il want to go to Congress-" The universal
cry 80.
Is echoed from the wales afar and from the
hills nearby.
Il want to go to Congress for 'twould do
the ma ation proud
Thus to elevate a person who can talk so
long and loud"
Il want to go to Congress SOS to give the
world advice"
Il want to go to Congress cause you see,
l have the price"
Il want to go to Congress cause 1 know
a thing or two"
Il want to go to Congress, cause I've
nothing else to do
Every man In this great country has the
feeling in his heart
That Congress is a show in which he ought
to have part. 80
And even though it's unexpressed, the SEN
timent will lurk:
I'D rather go to Congress any day than go

Neglect of Civic DUTY.

Bishop Potter yesterday in the course of
an address asserted that he had been re-
liably Informed that in the last mayoralty
election only thirty-eignt residents of Fifth
avenue from Washington Square to Cen
Tal Park cast votes. If this is true, and
there is unfortunately good reason to ac-
scep 1t as such, 1t is a serious Indictment of
the New Workers of wealth and influence
Ii accuses them in large mass of neg
lecting duty which lies at the very basis
of citizenship, and which should be per-
formed indeed If only out of self protec-
tion There was undoubtedly great
awakening of the public last year in the
nght against Tamr.-nv. and the result
achieved was presumably due in large
measure to the work done by representa-
tives of the class Bishop Potter now ac-
.cuses But if the proportion indicated by
him actually refused to engage in the es-.
sential work of voting it is clear that the
D.. victory for reform, won by compara-
lively narrow margin might have been
much more easily scored had the voters all
turned out in November.
The other day in Wayne, a suburb Of
Philadelphia occupied largely by persons Of
means. political excitement was caused by
q threat the part of the machine to Sc
cure the appointment of a postmaster from
outside of the jurisdiction. Angered by the
threat of outside interference in local af-
fairs. the residents of Wayne organized q
revolt and at the primaries, held soon after.
overwhelmed the machine. Whereas in or
dinary circumstances the primaries were
carried by good margins by the bosses, on
this occasion the solid citizens, hitherto
negligent of all such duties, cast nearly a
unanimous vote and so secured control of
the organization. AS a result the people
OF Wayne are today asking themselves why
they submitted for long to the rule OF

Overstudy.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


We have laws that protect children
against overwork. late hours, insufficient
room. bad air and other menaceS, except
in our schools There the pupil can be
overworked, deprived of proper space,
forced to breathe exhausted air and obliged
to read in dim rooms. with curtains drawn
so as to save a teachers complexion. The
lack Of buildings compels much doubling up
in classes. and many of our schools are
defective as to sanitation. Yet. 1t is not
the crowding Of these buildings, nor the
need of working in them. that is 80 much
at fault as is the practice Of forcing tho
pupil to work at night at home. The boy
who has hoed and raked and chopped and
laid wall has a good healthy tire at even
ing, and will sleep like a top. The boy
who works at refractory problems in math-
ematics till 8. and goes directly to bed. with
a head humming with rules and with fig
ures dancing before his eyes, will more
likely have a disturbed sleep, will thrash
about uneasily and will arise in the morn
ing unfreshed There should be little or
home study.

apparently this spirit does not obtain IN
Virginia sufficiently to bring results as yet.
Perhaps a tour through the Old Dominion
Of the good-roads train which was sent
down through the Mississippi valley by one
of the large railroad corporations a few
months ago would convert enough people to
cause the legislature at its next session to
pass this bill and so cause Virginia to get
in line with her sister states in this I'm
portant matter.

Let People Battle.

From the New York American and Journal .H
This great metropolis has but one per-
manent public BATH open winter and sum-
mer-that on RivingtOn street near the
East river. 1t accommodates but seventy
seven bathers at time, yet in January
mid winter over $1,000 individual baths
were given there. Think what the demands
on that single public bath will be in sum-
mer! Public money cannot be spent to
better purpose than in affordng the poor
every opportunity to keep clean.
