AGAINST ANARCHY,

CHICAGO, February 15.-In the
name of liberty itself Archbishop Ire
land of st. Paul demanded tonight the
passage of federal laws for the sup
preston OF anarchism, the enemy OF
liberty. Speaking at the monthly din
per OF the Merchants Club the Arch
bishop specified three kinds of legisIa-
ton to this end, each of which he re-
garded as essential to the welfare of
the country. BY the first anarchist i'm
migrants must be excluded. By the
second the life of the Chief Executive
must be effectually protected. By the
third the formation of plots on Ameri-
can soil against the lives of foreign
rulers must be prohibited, and. in case
Congress has no authority for such leg
islation, the Archbishop saw his way
forward unhesitatingly.
Let the Constitution be so amended
that this authority be allowed Congress
beyond a doubt" he said, the matter
is of sufficient seriousness to warrant
the proposal of an amendment to the
Constitution
OF the so-called philosophic anarch-
ism, Archbishop Ireland had no good to
speak and he received a round Of APP
plause when he said: LAS it is men who
dress up such theories in fiorid lam
guage and cover the!~" N the respecta-
bility OF a literary name do immense
harm and should at all times receive
the scorn and contempt of right-think-
ing men"

CHICAGO FINANCES

levy made by the City Council, are to

cation boards in the future as they
have been in the last two years, il is
only a matter of another year or two
when the credit of the city will have
been exhausted and the municipality
will be unable to borrow money against
the tax levy of the current year"
This was the statement of City Con-
handed the annual estimates for the
city, based upon the revenue avaiIa-
bic from taxes to be collected next
year, to Chairman Mayor of the FL
nance Committee Accompanying these
estimates were letters relating to the
condition of the city's finances
Owing to the depths of poverty into
which the city has been plunged the
services of City Engineer John E. Ric-
son may have to be dispensed with for
the rest of this Year. superintendent

be laid off for lack of funds, and the
whole engineering bureau, charged

supply, may be suspended.

THE SAN DIEGO
INDIANS STARVING

| Los ANGELES, February 15.-Mr.
| and Mrs. Herbert johnson and Mr.. and
| Mrs. William Sharpless, missionaries.
are preparing to make a second trip to
| the mountains of San Diego and River
| side counties to cary relief to the starv-
ing Indians in those sections.
Some time ago these people, who are
connected with the Boyle Heights Train
ing School for Christian Workers, went
W. into the mountains to jpreach to the
Incians. They travelled insffeir gospel
wagon and penetrated into Some of the
most obscure parts of the mountains,
Such AFFECT distress was found. the
missionaries say, that they abandoned
the attempt at gospel preaching for the
present and returned to seek relief for
the physical needs of the unfortunate
people, who are said to be slowly starv-
ing to death within the reach of civil
ization and plenty.
/. II. Cammack, acting principal of
the training school, has been doing all
in his power to secure for the unfortu-
mates such immediate relief as can be-
obtained from citizens of Los Angeles. /
The result is that the missionaries will |
return with wagon-load of provisions /
and clothing and some money; but
these things will be wholly inadequatej
to the needs of the people. and an eff
fort will be made to arouse more inter-
est and secure further help in order
that the Indians may not be left in ut
ter restitution while they are waiting II

copal church to plead their cause at

A HANDY CATSpAW.

simple Hawaiian was only too pleased.
NOW Wilcox finds himself in the ridic
u!ous position Of having to oppose the
vital section Of the measure bearing his
name or, in default OF that, to take the
consequences from his people at home.

signature of the Chairman and Score
tary.
The matter of a nomination in the
Fourth district TO fill the vacancy was
brought forward for a moment only,
and by common consent dropped as
though 1t were hot. The truth is that
since the fact came out that Prince
Cupid is ineligible for the place owing
to not being registered, that there is
no one in the party who wants TO make
the fight Meanwhile there is a grow
ing Discrimination to making the race
at all. 1t is argued by many members
OF the committee that the time is so
short until the regular campaign comes
on that there should not be any vast
ing of energy, as the people might not
relish two campaigns and also as the
lines are already so closely drawn that
the moral effect of a victory would not
affect perhaps a half dozen votes.
Upon resolution the chairman of the
executive committee will appoint a
committee which will draft bin and

AS TO LABOR AGAIN.

In his address on the Sunday follow
ing Washington's birthday. Judge Els
tee said:
!. Is IL not better in the long run to seek
for our workers from those who think
as well as those who work? Our fathers
did this. Why cannot We? Cheap labor
means low standard of manhood. That
IS so in all Asiatic countries.
This implies. with its context, that
the Hawaiian planters. having a choice
| between American and Asiatic labor,
took the latter. Nothing could be more
misleading. The Americans, though
wanted and sought, could not be had.
Nor can they be had now!
| If a thousand Americans of suitable
age and health would come here to-
morrow and ask to be employed in the
| cane fields at the prevailing wage,
which is not lower than the farm hand
scale in New York and Massachusetts,
| they would be snapped up before night
and ticketed for plantations on the ISL
and of Oahu. Thousands more could
find work here and elsewhere in the
group.
This would not be done for effect.
The newcomers would get a sincere
welcome. Knowing their capacity for
work to be more than that of the same
Oh ASldllCS, the WOULD
receive them with open arms. Further
more, the strangers would be welcomed
for their moral influence in keeping la
borers of other races in order and for
their steadying or ballast weight in
politics. In fact, they could not come
to more appreciative place.
But they won't come, Judge Estee |
and you know it. Even ex-Philippine
soldiers in town prefer asking help of |
the Associated Charities than earning |
livelihood in the cane fields. One
would think that they could stand the !
toll and the climate, coming as they do !
from two years chase of guerrillas !
through the sweltering jungles of an !
East Indian archipelago. Nor would !
one think that private soldier, who is I
willing to beg. would be above a kind
OF work that is usually associated with
servile labor. But facts are stubborn
things. and they stare the planters out {
Of countenance even IL they. now and
then, meet an impervious understand

judges.
And now we have a suggestion to
make to these learned patriots'who look
askance at the sugar men for not get
ting American workers. Let them write
to the Commissioner of Labor or TO
labor organizations in the United
States, personally recommending the
Hawaiian plantation as a place for
American unskilled labor to try its
hand, and assuring them on the basis

! ter is in a quandary himself as to the
means of their adaptation here.
The most fragrant instance of Will
cox's catspaw character is seen in his
salary grab bill. Probably not a single
other man in the HOUSE could be found
TO father it. Many of the members
were avid enough for the $4,000 per an
mum fixed in the so-called Wilcox bill,
but they had a wholesome fear of in
Producing such measure. However.
there was an easy alternative: Just
get wilcox TO do the job; he doesn't
know any better" And the job was
done.
There have been Farmer Waybacks

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Mr. Cleveland wrote a letter to the
Tilden banquete.s the other day in
which he praised the character and
ideals OF Samuel ]. Tilden in words
that would have fitted Thomas Jeffer-
son. The ex-President OF the United
States knew better. for when he first
took office. in 1885, his GOODNESS toward
Mr.. Tilden and his policies excited
much remark from the general public
and some criticism among those who
still looked upon the master of Grey
stone as the sage OF the Democracy
The majority judgment, nevertheless
was favorable to . Cleyeland's course.
But at this late day Mr.. Cleveland has
thought best to say the graceful thing
and he does so irrespective of the
facts. 80
In this way is history written, espe-
cially biographical annals. When Car
lyle called history "a bundle of lies
agreed upon" the sour philosopher was
not so far out of the way. No one ever
gets at the exact truth about the char
acter OF great men and the doings of
nations any more than a man gets pre-
else data about the character of his
next-door nelghbor or the truth about
the row around the corner. People say
now that the Boston tea party was
made up of smugglers, not patriots. and
that all the tea thrown overheard
found its way, untaxed, to colonial ia
bles. Other iconoclasts say the zeal of
Luther for a reformed church was
partly kindled by lack of gain from the !
sale of indulgences. But the :agreed |
upon" view OF history is widely differ !
ent and may be vitality in error. In
piaintive strain poet has said: His
tory comes like a beggarly CLEANER in
the field after Death. the great lord of |
the domain. hath gathered the harvest
and locked 1t in the garner, which no
man may, open"
But to return to the case in point.
Mr.. Tilden is described by such men as
Cleveland and Olney as one whose
ideals are to this day the truest bea-
con light to the Democratic party And
yet when the New York Tribune got
hold of the cipher kilograms which
passed between Tilden's nephew and
campaign, manager. Col. Pelton and
the Democratic State Committees of
Oregon. Louisiana and FLORIDA at the
time. in 1876, when the capture of one
electoral vote from either would make
Mr.. Tilden President, it was fairly
proved that large sum of money was
offered in Mr.. Tilden's name for such
vote. The whole set of kilograms re-
Vealed the clearest possible case of at .
tempted bribery and fraud. Nor was !.
the accuracy OF these kilograms ever ,
disputed
Such record as this Is surely not ,
one which the very limited national
services rendered by Mr.. Tilden dur
ing his public life can overshadow.

Since the Porto Ricans came. mendi-
I cancy has vastly increased. Time was
not many years ago. when this city did
/ not have a single person who lived by
! beggary. Now there are scores. The
| Porto Ricans are not only beggars by
nature but by training. a type not I'M
! Ike the Iazzaroni OF Italy. Even when
they have plenty they seek aims; and
they VIII always leave a good job for

So as in the case of the family already
mentioned, Porto Ricans will even leave
free beds and board where they are I'M

they are actually sick, for the rowing
gypsy life of the streets and highways.
Two facts in connection with this
matter plainly appear. One is that the
more of private relief that is given the |
greater the nuisance of private n1endi |
cancy must be. Beggary grows with |
the means and opportunity of its relief
at private hands. It decreases in the |
ratio that alms-seekers are turned over |
to such public charities as that which |
is looking after the worthy poor of |
Honolulu. When a beggar comes to
ones door, there is no chance to inves-
tigate. but when he goes to the Asso
ciated Charities. his case is thoroughly
looked up. If he is worthy, he is help

injustice either to himself. to a suffer-
ing fellow-man nor TO the community.
when he sends a mendicant to Mrs.
Berger's office. Whatever is due the
applicant he will receive.
The other fact to be remembered is

Hawaii. There is plenty of work for all

Speaking of political harmony here it
may be said that. as soon as Mayor
Low. Judge Jerome, DR.. Parkhurst and
the other New York reformers find a
basis of harmony with Tammany Hall
which will suit President Roosevelt,
the party committed to the cause of
good government in Hawaii will look
about and see how near it can reach a
state OF political affinity with the car
pet baggers and other spoils-seeking
adventures in these parts.
