ANtRCHISM MUST GO.

If there is any foundation for the be-
lief the Chicago police hold regarding
the conditions brought about by an
archist societies it is high time tnat
bsrodc treatment is resorted to for put
ting down this branch Of Old World
enemies Of society and government
which our lax immigration laws has
allowed to take a foothold In this
country. The police of that city are
firmly convinced from the information
they have secured that there was con-
pection between the assassination OF
the priest in Denver and the attempt
TO murder the chief of police OF On ca
20; that the death of both were or
dered by a society Of anarchists and
that the two men were chosen by lot
TO perform the deeds. The men in
these plots aIe chiefly Russians and
Austrians who have fed to this coun-
try to escape the consequences OF their
criminal conduct in their own coun-
tries They seek an asylum here and In
return for the protection given them
against persecution or, it may be; just
prosecution for crimes committed
at home, they at once take steps to
continue their plotting against the lives
of officials who are diligent in enfOrc-
ing the laws of the country and against
ministers Of the gospel who denounce
the laWless conduct Of the members Of
their secret societies. The priest as
sassinated IN Denver was not the only
one OF his order who has come under
the ban of these societies of murder
ers. There are several others whose
lives have been threatened, notably
Archbishop Farley, OF the diocese Of
New York who has received a threat
ening letter from some of these men.
II this state OF affairs continues; II
there are a few more such occurrences
as those above alluded to the United
States will become hotter place for
anarchists than Russia is now, for the
people will take the matter into their
own hands and wage a war of extermi-
nation against all persons OF that class
OF enemies Of law and order. If they
persist in their course they will surely
bring such punishment on themselves
We look for it to come if this class
OF crime continues.

In yesterdays Charlotte observer
we find a most sensible editorial
as all in that paper are-unoer the
above heading It calls for party
harmony, but declares for the free
dom Of speech of the members OF the
party before the meeting of the
party conventions, which is for true
democracy. Democracy means the rule
@: the people and when they come
together to declare their views that
the will Of the majority shall rule.
That is our idea of democracy-the
rule Of the people and not that Of a
few persons who undertake to dictate
TO the people what their will shall be.
Every man IN the party, no matter
how humble soever his position may
be, has the right to express his views
as 70 party measures and as TO the
men to be nominated and then when
he has gone into convention and ex-
pressed his views and cast his vote
he should be willing to abide by the
will of the majority whether 1t is in
accordance with or is opposed to his
views That We have differences with
III our own rarty DO one can deny.
but we believe they are such differ
ences that can be settled within the
party. They surely cannot be settled
by going outside the party looking
for solution. . Let's wash our soiled
linen behind our own doors and not
CO SO in the face of the public,
asking our political enemies to help
US in the work There is no differ
ence in the democratic party which
cannot be healed if the two sides
tc the questions at issue will agree
t. come together and make an earn
est effort at reconciliation. Surely
it can be better done that way than by
flying off at a tangent and asking
Cur political opponents to assist us.
Let's all hands in the democratic par
t. make up our minds that we will
settle family-or political - Guarrels
among ourselves without inviting the
enemy to come N and act as peace
maker by urging greater widening of
the chasm which already exists.

WIIIMINGTON'S BANKS IN THE
PANIC.

1.-THE attitude ;of the Wilmington
Eanks in the Recent Panic was the
theme discussed by Mr.. c. N. Evans,
! cashier OF the Southern National
! bank, at the chamber Of commerce
I banquet last ThtCsday night, as all
readers OF The Messenger know. No
doubt all Of our readers have, ere
new, read GIr Evans speech, but
there were some things said by him
On that occasion that we wish to call
special attention and thereby empha-
size. His statements, from the rec
crds, showed that the banks of this
city were through ali that trying
/ time ever sound and solid; that there
never was a time when they were
rot only prepared to. perform all
their obligations, but were in condi-
| ton to carry on their ordinary line
of business. While from all parts Of
the country during the panic came
1ews daily Of banks which were re-
fusing to honor checks Of depositors
above a certain amount and were
meeting depositors' checks with scrip,
the banks of this city were meeting
with cash all demands of depositors.
| Scrip was an unknown thing mere in
q city which does business in one
! line alone Of thirty million dollars a
| year and whose rush orders come in
! that season of the year when the
panic was felt most severely through
out the country. Mr. Evans showed
t how the commonseuse and conserva-
| tive action Of the banks of our city
toward the business houses which
! had paper ID the banks prevented
any undue furry here in financial
| circles and helped their friends tide
over the rough times. And, as he
says another important feature
and one vital to the business inter-
ests of the city was the attitude of
| the savings banks to those individ-
uals, firms and corporations indebted
to the banks for paper discounted on
loans negotiated which matured dur
ing the critical period" Mr.. Evans
speech showed what the banks of
Wilmington did for the business in
terests of our city and how they held
its credit up to the top notch during
that critical time His speech was
most interesting from business stand
point and demonstrated that the Will
mington banks are solid institutions
and are conducted in the interest of
and with an eye to the welfare OF the
business and commerce of the city.

MAKE THE SCHOOL HOUSES sAFl,

The fearful disaster in the public
school building of the suburb Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, on Wednesday should be q
warning to the trustees and officials Of
every school in the whole country. It
should result in close inspection and
the adoption of the best means for
avoiding a repetition Of that awful
tragedy. No doubt every parent and
school has since reading the accounts
OF the Cleveland fire thought of the
school his or her child is attending
and wondered whether or not there
were in the building proper arrange
ments 30 prevent loss CT life in case
Of fire
Fire drill with the scholars is
good thing and should be practiced
frequently, but that should not be
depended on alone for successfully
emptying a building in case Of fire;
for even with the best disciplined
scholars, in case of fire.. there would
be danger of panic with the usual re-
suits in such cases unless there were
ample facilities in the way Of broad
and many exits from the building.
Unless these are provided exhibition
fire drills and the best Of ordinary dis
cipline would not avail in the saving
of life
Now is the time for the trustees and
other officials of the public schools to
look into the arrangements in the
buildings for securing safe and speedy
emptying OF them in case Of fire. They
should not wait until some one of
the schools has suffered the fearful dis
aster chronicled yesterday. All pub
lie school buildings in which there are
a number of pupils should be inspect
ed with an eye to ascertaining> wheth-
er they are properly arranged in thie
respect. and where there &c .>'''' !.
buildings about which there is even
only a doubt the possible defect should
be remedied. No risks should be run
no chances taken where the lives OF
hundreds CT children are involved,
and the money cost of such improve
ments should not be considered.

Because OF the terrible holocaust at
North Collinwood, Ohio, as reported in
yesterdays papers in which 165 school
children met horrible deaths as the re-
suit of Il fire in the school building
which they attended, Chairman French
Of the fire committee Of the board of
aldermen, to make certain there was
no danger Of such an occurrence II
any of the schools of this city and to
reassure any who might have felt that
there was danger of such tragedy,
under like conditions in this city, yes
terday had Chief Schnibben Of the fire
department to make an investigation
of all white school buildings and the
report of that official was entirely sat
isfactory showing every possible pre-
caution has been taken to prevent any
disaster in case of fire.
The chief will continue his investi-
cations today to all the colored pub
lie schools in the city.
The fire chief regularly makes these
inspections at stated intervals but the
investigation yesterday was ordered
so that the public could be Informed
as to the absolute facts 50 that there
could be no doubt in the minds OF the
parents that their children were prop
| erly looked after.
At both the Union and Hemenway
schools, where the attendance amounts
to TOO or 800 children. there are fire.
uuent fire drills held and each building
can be entirely emptied Of every child
! in less than thre minutes. Wftnout
confusion or excitement
At all the schools it was found that
! the furnaces were we'll protected and
| that there are heavy iron covered
doors between the basement and upper
floors.
The first floor windows at all the
schools are large and close TO the
ground and every outside door swings
! to the outside, so that in case of a rush
the force of impact would throw the
doors open.
At the Union and Hemenway schools
only a few classes are taught in the
| upper story but their exit is provided
for by several wide stairways and out
side wooden fire escapes.
At the high school only few schol-
are are taught upstairs and there would
be no danger unless on some special
occasion the assemblage hall was
crowded when the two rather narrow
stairways might be blocked in the
crush to escape.
The matter of having fire escapes
! has been pending for some time at this
school but nothing has yet been done,
the school board now having under
consideration the question of remodel
ling the building.
Chairman French states that Super
intendent Blair of the public schools
invites c;tizens~at any time to visit the
various Institutions and see for them
selves the precautions that have been
taken.
The chairman Of the fire committee
has expressed his intention of asking
board of aldermen at its next meeting,
to order fire alarm boxes placed at
both the Union and HemenWay schools
so that in case of an alarm the depart
ment would know at once where TO
locate the blaze.
The parents Of children who attend
the local schools will be relieved to
know that conditions are 50 'satisfac-
tory and that any such disaster as
that which occurred at COllinswood
would be absolutely impossible in the
schools of Wilmington.
