Ivpgp,.11sM HAS, In the passage

IMPERIALISM HAS, In the passage
BY the Senate OF the bill for the pro-
tection of the President and those In
the line of succession to the presidency
taken another and most important
s,ep. the first one In the creation OF q
a di,tlnction between them and other
citizens. Far be it from US to object to
condign punishment for numbering any
of thsm-nay, for even attempting to
murder them. But the President Is
but citizen, equal, as q man, to every
other citizen, and no more. True. De
occupies the highest official position,
bu. If he dies, the presidency is at once
filed by law; there is no interregnum.
1t may be objected that members OF
Congress are specially protected from
arrest on civil process, and from re-
sponsibility elsewhere than In tEeir
respective Houses for words spoken 10
debate there, but that Is constitution
al provision, made rather for the inter-
est of their constituents than them
selves. A second Guy Fawkes might
blow up the Capitol, yet. II the explos'
ion killed them ell, his punishment
would be simply that for numbering
other citizens. Attempt to murder
ANYBODY with malice aiorethought is
morally murder In the first degree, and
the same legal punishment should be
provided for it whether the victim be
President or beggar. The effect of the
bill. If it becomes law, will be simply
TO create privileged class; "only that
and nothing more." The lives OF the
persons 80 privileged will be 20 safer
we fear they will be less safe than
they are now. Every man who has
murdered President has been speedily
ADD righteously put to death. Has that
made the life OF the President safer ?
An insane man thinks nothing of con-

teau. An anarchist Is q man who has
persuaded himself that there is no here
after and who seeks to live In history
as what he considers patriot; such was
Cz olgosz. Remedies may and should
in the interest of all citizens, not of
officials alone-be sought for protec-
ton against anarchists, for they seek
the destruction not of rulers alone but
OF all lawful authority and all men who
oppose them; but, II the press has
rightly informed us. the President him
self does not wish to have detectives
about him, thinking himself (as be icy
safer without them; and we cannot be-
lieve, from bis past history. that he de-
sires either personal privileges or an
armed guard.

Roswell JalIer Shoots Randolph Spen-
Ger While Attempting to Escape.
A DESPERATE PRISONER.

Thomas H. Heifrin, deputy sheriff
and jailer, was attacked Wednesday
about l o'clock, by Randolph Spencer
and Sam Hall, two prisoners in the
Jail, in an effort to escape, and the
jailer was compelled to shoot and kill
Spencer, says the Roswell Register.
Heifrin took the dinner for the pris-
oners to the Jail and on going up to
the door of the corridor on the second
floor, looked through the grating and
saw tho cell doors closed and locked
them with the lever used for that pur-
pose. Spencer and Hall had hung
some clothing up at the far end of the
corridor in some way, and hid behind
II. AS soon as Heifrin opened the
door, and turned round to pick up the
big basket containing the dinner, they
rushed at him. He knocked Spencer
down and when Hall caught him from
behind, pinioning his arms, he threw
himself to the floor to keep Hall from
getting hold of his pistol, which he
had in a scabbard inside his trousers
behind his right hip. Heifrin man
aged to get his pistol out in time
to shoot Spencer as the latter was re-
covering from the blow he had given
him and was about to spring on him
and help Hall overpower him. The
ball-a As Colt's-entered Spencer's
breast about three inches to the left
of the center and came out under the
right arm. Just as Heifrin fired, Hall
seized the barrel of the pistol. Heifrin
threw his legs around on the small
platform and slid part way down the
stairway, Hall holding onto him. The
jailer managed to bring the pistol to
bear on Hall over his shoulder, and
the later loosed his hold and retreated
to the uoor calling out to Heifrin,
Don't shoot. I'll give up" He then
dragged his comrade into the corridor
and threw water into his face to see
if he could relieve him but found he
was dead. A number of the county Off
cials about the court house, hearing
the shot, had rushed into the front cor
ridor by this time. and soon had Sheriff
Higgins there. Judge F. II. Lea was
sent for and impaneled a coroner's
jury, consisting of himself +. l.. Wildly,

who vieweu the body and afterward
met at Judge Lea's Office and found a
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.

ACCIDENT AT JEWISH SYNAGOGUE.
Investigation Of the Merger Of North
en Securities Company,
PAPAL DELEGATE TO THIS C0URTRY.

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 15.-Grand
Master p. H. Morrissey, of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, today au-
thorized the following official state
ment:
Different stories that are arising,
pertaining to a movement on the part
of conductors and trainmen in the wes-
tern country for a raise of wages are
in the main inaccurate and misleading.
They probably grew out of the fact
that an association of the general COM
mittees of the Order of Railway Con.
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, for this territory was
formed at Kansas City in June, at
which time the question of increase of
pay for men in the train and yard SER
vice was discussed. 1t is the general
belief among the men in these capaci-
ties that on account of the vastly
changed conditions now as compared
with those in existence at the time the
present wage standards were made,
that they are entitled to some addition
al compensation, and they are now
considering the propriety of asking fop
it. But if anything is done through
these organizations in this direction,
it will be along orderly lines and in ac-
cordance with long established policies
and laws of the bodies affected
