A BAD SHOWING.

There were 1877 army canteens be-
fore the law abolishing them was pass
ed. Since that time, according to Off
cial figures from the war department.
1852 dives of the lowest character
have sprug up around these 1877 posts,
and according to the medical author
tiles of the army, the result is ap-
palling. Drunkenness has increased
400 per cent, among the enlisted men,
and crime of all grades, from murder
down, so per cent. Disease due to de-
bauchery have increased $50 per cent
and insanity rs per cent, and all this
in spite of the fact that at the time
of the canteens were closed the Uni-
ted States military establishments con-
sisted Of 104,S00 men, whereas the
number is now reduced to 81 900. Can
the good people who accomplished
the abolition of the canteen contefn-
plate the results with satisfaction?

ALL THE ANARCHISTS
SHOULD BE SHUT OUT.

A great deal has been said in the
newspapers regarding the case Of the
Englishman, Turner. who was deried
admission to this country by the m
migration officials at the port of New
York, on the ground that he was an
anarchist. The order for his depOrtat-
ion has been announced in many GUAR
ters as wholly unjusti1iabe, and in
Volying 9 denial Of ~
80 ,ne right Of free
dom Of speech and opinion guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution. But the
Supreme Court of the United States
has sustained the action of the immi-
grafton authorities with resepct to the
plea that Turner had not been shown
to be an active anarchist Chief JUS
tice Fuller, in his opinion, says the
inference made by the officers. as to
the right of exclusion. was not unjus-
tifiable, IF he contemplated the ulti-
mate realization of his ideal by the
use of force, for his speeches were
indictments to that end
The decision is unquestionably well
founded. There is practically no diff
ference between the direct advocacy
of force and the teaching of doctrines
which logically and inevitably lead 70
the use of force for the overthrow of
government, law and order. That is
what anarchy teaches, and what it nee
essarily involves. The Act of Congress
passed a year or two ago for the ex-
cusion of anarchists from the Unit ed
States was directly in response 20
popular sentiment. Liberty of speech
in this country is not inconsistent with
the exercise of the right Of self pre-
servatiOn on the part of the govern
ment. There should be no interference
with freedom of opinion as to the va
rious means that may be employed &c
carry out the general objects of gov
eminent, but any teaching which
seeks absolutely to overthrow, by I'm
lawful means, the very fabric of the
government itself, cannot and should
not be tolerated.-Bee.

that the Hearst activity received is indi-
Gated BY the action 81 the Democratic eau
Gus last evening It indicates that the
Hearst candidacy was never seriously con-
sidered BY the substantial members Of the
party in Burlington and It represents also
a sure index Of the party feeling through
out the state. Hearst never was strong
possibility for the nomination, in the opln-
ion Of most Democrats Of the state, and,
it is likely that very few delegations win
be sent TO the state convention, instructed
for him. The contest, If contest there be,
win be between Parker and Olney, with
the chances strongly with the former, for
the reason that Olney is likely to get so
little convention support outside Of
his own state, Massachusetts,. The an
Douncement from F. w. McGettrick Of ST.
Adams that Olney is the favorite in Yer
mont has brought out an equally positive
assertion from another leader Of the party
b. B. Smalley Of Burlington, that very
large majority are in favor Of the nomina
ton Of Judge Parker. The Burlington
caucus last evening seems to bear out the
latter assertion.
