SURPRISING ANARCHY.
What Congress May Do in the Way
of Liquidation.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Just what can be done by Congress for
the Suppression of anarchy" further
than TO deny the use Of the mails for the
dissemination Of its p1rnicious doctrines,
is doubtful, but IN whatever is done
there is need Of a careful definition Of
the term. Among the persons supposed
70 be excluded from the country under
the immigration law are anarchists. or
persons who believe in or advocate the
overthrow by force or violence Of the
government Of the United States. or Of
all government. or Of all forms OF law,
or the assassination OF public officials"
Perhaps this is a good enough definition.
but II Is not easy to identity all that
come under IT among the immigrants
seeking admission to the country, and
many may spring up IN the country to
whom this provision does not apply.
The advocacy OF the doctrines here
assumed to constitute anarchism in the
State OF New Jersey or any other State
cannot be prevented by the United States
government. II cannot prevent their
publication or their oral advocacy. ex-
cept in places under its exclusive juris-
diction. That comes within the author
ity Of the States and IL is a subject on
which there should be no difficulty in
securing effective legislation by the
States, with a clear definition Of the Of
lenses 10 be prescribed. But the mail
service Is under the exclusive jurisdic-
ton OF the general government, even in
its local application. and no doubt should
be left as to the power TO prevent It's use
for spreading tina pestlence Of anarchy.

Important dlibusters in the House have
usually taken place just before political

somewhat absurd IN themselves.

Finding Fault.

From the Chicago Record Herald
It IS a singular freak of human nature
that whenever a person becomes irritated
by the character or conduct OF another
person the fault is ultimately attributed
to the offending persons religion. nation
ality, or sex. This laundering conclusion
may be the result Of a prejudice against
a certain religion. nationality, or sex, or
it may be the effect of sheer shallowness
and ignorance. But If ii is not the result
OF prejudice Il is sure 10 beget Il. The
harsh criticisms of women by men and
men by women are TO be viewed in this
light. They betTay an utter absence of
close observation and reasoning. And
where the criticisms are not jocose they
are to be deprecated. as tending to pro-
duce what are called men haters" and
women haters. and 10 give false ideas

VIRGINIA REpuBIIcANIsM.
Curious Phase of Politics in the Old
Dominion.
From tie Richmond News Leader.

Dominion.
From the Richmond News Leader
Many times this newspaper has ex-
pressed the conviction that a respectable
minority party In Virginia would be a
public blessing. The News Leader staff
correspondent, who is reporting the pro-
ceedings of the Lynchburg convention
says that the delegates are Virginians,
that they are well dressed, well behaved,
intelligent and prosperous citizens. and
that they are there for business. The
negroes are not enough TO give the con-
venti0n even a tinged appearance. All of
which leads to the conclusion that the
Republican party in the State Of Virginia
is stronger, in character al least, than 1t
has been since the war That being the
case, the question may we'll be asked.
Why does not the party organize In other
districts as it has done in the Ninth and
make a serious fight against the Demo-
Gratis? The most interesting answer that
we have heard is that the bosses in the
Ninth are abundantly satisfied with the
situation as K exists It IS estimated that
the Federal patronage enjoyed by the Re
publicans Of Nirginia-inside the State and
in Washington-amount to $500, 600 a year.
This is controlled by the oligarehy IN the
Ninth and We are informed that many
Republicans from. that section hold Fed
eral Offices In ether parts Of the State.
Why, then, shou the oligarehy wish 10
create other Republican districts and
thereby be compelled TO divide authority.
honors, and spoils? This is a very pretty
political study.

From the Florida Times Union.
Is there danger that the Souths repre-

work were once begun. where would it
stop? Cut down the representation Of the
South IN Congress and you must cut it
down in national conventions. Now. with
the negro delegates. the white States are
voted down and out Without the South

mated? Not a bit of It. Without those
