Anarchists in Barre.
PateTson's Undesirable Citizens Have
Moved Northward.

1t IS a strange story which comes
from Barre, Vt.-that the city, one of
the important centers Of the Green
Mountain State, has been adopted by
anarchists, the dreaded Reds" as
their headquarters. Paterson, n. J.,
has long been known TO have had the
none-too-fiattering distinction of be-
ing the chief place of residence, but
Paterson has become too hot even for
ar anarchist. The removal to Barre,
where the quarries are, Is the conse-
quenee.
There is nc doubt that the United
States Government Is looking after
This undesirable class with sharper
eyes than II used to before the fate Of
President Mckinley called the atten-
ton of the world to the actual menace
which they were both to the communi-
" and to the individual. 1t Is, III
fact, this increased vigilance which
has driven them from Paterson. Ii
used to be said that the anarchists
themselves so appreciated the free
dom from official Interference which
this country formerly afforded them
that they took especial pains to com
nit no act here which should arouse
public sentiment TO activity against
them. That there was no security IN
this condition. even if it were true,
was too plainly proven by the McKin-
ley tragedy

dom, but il does not stand for license.

freedom for which a country should
stand, and for which it must stand if
il is TO endure, is the freedom to do
right. The fatal defect of the an
Grchistic doctrine IS that it is a doc
Urine of supreme individual selfish
ness. For that very reason 1t can
never prevail. The anarchist should
have every right due him under the
law, but when he begins TO interfere
with the rights of others, the Govern
ment is not only justified, 1t is under
q moral obligation, to interfere With
HIM.

Having revised the American flag. DR.. Dowie
has now started out TO change the rules Of the
national game, baseball These are some Of
the rules which have been introduced in the
Zion City games:
mo bases shall De stolen. Thievery is sinful
and must be put down by the faithful.
1.-The pitcher shall not use deceit in deliv-
ering the ball, for deceit is sinful The curve
must be cut out
There shall be no umpires. for they are a
race of liars and their sayings breed strife and
discomfort.
Brethren who meet upon the field must play
the game in brotherly love. and not in conten-
tion and Disqualification, FOR that way lies de-
struetion. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Democratic Troubles.


From the East and West come reports
that there is going to be little chance of
unifying the Democratic party In time
for any sort OF an organization to be
perfected for the next campaign The
victory In Ohio of the Bryan wing OF
the party and the reimbursement of the
Kansas City platform has caused the
give up hope that any victory OF i'm
portance can be won in the big States
whose electoral votes would be needed
TO elect candidate
The Eastern leaders say no more sup
port can be given to the Kansas City
platform in 1904 than there was at the
last election, and the Western men, fol-
lowers of the ideas represented by
Bryan. announce positively that the
Eastern men must subscribe to the old
platform: that no gold men are going to
be allowed TO rule either the party or
the convention. They also assert that
the party is going to stand for the ideas
of the two previous elections when
Bryan led the party to defeat. The radi-
cal wing of the Democracy has an
nounced in no uncertain fashion that the
candidate must be a man of Bryan's
beliefs, while that leader himself has
said that neither German, Parker nor
Gray is the sort of man 10 be nominated.
In answer to this, the Democrats OF
Pennsylvania. in their State convention.
as did Iowa, repudiated all OF Bryan and
his faction, and announced Judge Gray,
of Delaware. as their choice. In some
OF the Southern States. and in Louisiana
and the other Gulf States particularly.
the Democrats are again turning their
eyes toward Grover Cleveland as pos
sible candidate. German still has sup
port enough to get the nomination in the
convention If he wants 1t, nearly all OF
the Eastern States being in his favor.
Whether he feels like accepting a nomi-
nation. however. that is almost certain
to split the party again is something he
himself alone can answer.

Young Lady Anglesey, like her hus-
band. has many American relatives. For
her brother. Guy Chetwynd, is married
to Miss Secor. of New York, while Lord
Anglesey. the head of the Paget fam
lily, has one of his cousins, Mai. Gen.
Arthur Paget, married to a daughter of
the late Mrs. Paran Stevens, of New
York, and another cousin, Almeric
Paget. married to Pauline, daughter OF

and is at present. 1 believe, in charge
of the racing stable of T. B. Haggin
There is also the widowed Lady An

Let me add that the heir to the hon.
ors and estates of the present Marquis
of Anglesey is Charles Paget. eldest son
of the late Lord Alexander Paget, and
that there are many lives more between
him and his cousins. the children of
Mrs. Almeric and Mrs. Arthur Paget, so
that the prospects of the succession of
the offspring of either of these two
American born ladies to the Marquisate
Of Anglesey is exceedingly remote.

The Suburbs of The Capital.
Small, Detached Cottages, at Low
Rents. Needed


The worst feature of the cutting-up
of the suburbs of the city, and the
erection of cheap houses, built to sell,
along some of the glaringly new
streets, is that by this purely speeula-
tive performance several thousands of
people are deprived of the homes
which they need and ought to have.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
houses renting for from $40 to $50
month are more needed than any
other sort of houses in Washington
just now. They are so badly needed
that no house of six rooms, renting
for such a price, is ever left long upon
the bulletins of the real estate dealers
unless 1t is haunted or otherwise OBJ
jectionable.
There are thousands of small fami-
hes ready to occupy such homes, and
eventually to buy them. But they do
not want to live In budding collec-
tons of small houses, built in rows as
much alike as the bricks of which they
are made. They would like homes IN
the suburbs, with ground enough for
garden, homes which their children
could remember in after years with
affection, and which would be COM
Portable enough in the summer to
make it unnecessary to go out of
town. There is land enough for all
these people in the suburbs which
have been ruthlessly cut up by specu-
lators, and the money which has been
spent on tawdry limitations of fine
houses, too large and too expensive
for the prudent middle-class man with
a small family, would have built hun
dreds of pretty cottages, substantial
enough to be worth buying. 1t Is
enough TO make any economical and
home-loving person use bad language.
One of the institutions of this city,
unfortunately, is the "roomer" Peo-
pie who cannot afford to pay the rent
asked for a house of eight or ten
rooms, rent the house and let one or
two of its rooms to lonely people who
take their meals outside. This results
IL high rents for rooms, instability of
feeling (since the "roomer" is de
pendent upon the tenure and pleasure
of the family occupying the house,
and they in turn depend upon the
renting of the room for their income),
and a generally unsatisfactory state
of things.
Far better would it be if the home
keeping and the floating population
were separated, the former owning or
leasing their homes, and taking IN no
outsiders, the latter occupying board
ing houses or apartment houses or
hotels, suited to their use, with a fixed
scale of prices. 1t Is ali very pretty.
in books, to discuss the joys of the
lonely young man or woman or old
bachelor or widow, taken into a pri-
yately family as into home, but as a
matter of fact, the plan does not work
IL a city so unstable in its population
as Washington. The lonely person
does not stay long enough III any one
place 10 become acquainted.
1t is time that the $30-a-month peo-
pie should be considered in this build
ing business. There are more Of them
than there appears to be, because 50
many are at present living in apart
ments, or putting up with the make
shift of the "roomer" As a result,
house rents are admittedly higher IN
Washington than III any other city Of
its size In the United States.

REPUBLICAN CITY NOMINATIONS.

The Republican City Convention met
al noon today at the Assembly Rooms,
and nominated Samuel Jones for Mayor,
w. HalIam Claude for City Counsellor.
and DIR. c. b. Henkel. L. M. Boyd.
M. NJ Smith, +. A. Munroe, I. A,
Thompson and Louis Baer for Alder
men. AS soon as the nominations were
made, surprise was sprung upon the
candidates by the counsel Of the Demo-
cratic candidates protesting against the
fling Of the nomination papers by the
Republicans, on the ground that the law
required them to be filed fifteen days
prior to the election, whereas they only
have fourteen days from the time the
nominations we're made before the
election. July 18th.
: The same thing occurred four years
ago when the Democrats were in power.
and they refused to receive the nominal
ton papers of the Republicans on the
ground that they were fled twelve hours
too late. The Republicans filed man
damus with the Court to compel the
Democrats to receive the nomination
papers. The case was argued before the
lower Court and finally taken to the
Court Of Appeals which decided in favor
of the Democrats. and the Republican
election went by default. and the Demo-
cratic nominees were declared legally
elected. Mr.. L. A. Seidewitz was then
candidate for Mayor and Robert Moss,
City Counsellor.
MIR. Jones, the candidate for Mayor,
was on the ticket four years ago when
the same thing occurred. and his election
under the ruling Of the Court went by
default. II is an oversight in the Re
publicans not being familiar with the
election law.
