Prof Albert Bushnell Hart. editor Of
the American Nation" writes in the last
volume Of the series the following inter-
esting comment upon the political boss
regarded from the historical viewpoint:
Tt is a great mistake to think that the
boss is wholly evil; like Boss Tweed. he
may be personally abstemious: he may
have a bulldog force of character like
Boss Croker; he may be fond OF books,
like Boss Quay; he may be an easy
boss considerate of his subalterns. like
Boss Plat; but under all circumstances
his prestige depends upon bringing things
about When the governor and legisla-
ture are at loggerheads, the boss, if he
owns the one and controls the other
may bring about harmony OF late years
the boss has sometimes been a courageous
man who by the force Of his character
backed up by public confidence. accepts
the mandate to carry on the government
Before such d man legislature and coun-
ellis give way, and the causes which pro-
duce the corrupt boss are turned into
the support of an honest boss
Francis Thompson. recently dead, wrote

from despair. and possibly from death,
at a time when ne had sunk to so low

Meynell, who is now, it is said, preparing
a biography Of the poet Despite his
habit Of taking laudanum, a habit to
which he becme addicted in the unhear-
able poverty and hardship OF hts early
life Thompson lives in the memories of
those who knew him best as gentle and
innocent man, Of great genius, and only
such faults as his unhappy habit brought
with It The poems were all written IN the
intervals when he was not using lauda-

Charles B. Lands.

The republican convention of the ninth
Indiana district approaches. and Mr.. Lam
dis with every prospect of success is can
didate for denomination. He has earned the
honor, and it should be bestowed with
enthusiasm. He stands with the leaders
of his party in the House, and is in line
for high committee advancement. AS
second on the committee of foreign af-
fairs, he should upon the retirement of
Mr.. Cousins, who is not a candidate to
succeed himself in Congress, become the
chairman of that important committee in
the next House. Mr.. Lands is a very
effective speaker and personally a very
popular man. The Indiana delegation,
strong in it's entirety, has no member
more capable or Industrious. or whose
labors have reflected more credit on the
state. The long lease of power the re-
publicans have enjoyed in that common
wealth has developed an excellent quality
of local leadership. and Mr.. Lands in
Congress has been one of its best and
most attractive expressions. His district
is republican, and his majority should be
large.

And somehow we have all thought well
of Sampson and his men, who kept up
the long watch at Santiago, and finally
sent the Spanish ships to the bottom. But
we are told now that it was poor busi-
ness-a sort of scratch" as is said at
billiards. II Cervera had been properly
equipped he would have escaped. We
brought him down by main strength and
awkwardness
WELL what is poison for us is meat
for others. Japan may with safety with
draw her swarm of spies from this cOun-
try and give them something else to do.
We are exposing, and, as many believe,
magnifying all of our weakne sses. Let
the mikado curtail expenses, and by
simply ordering a copy of the Congress
SIGNAL Record sent to his address and
subscribing for a few American newspa-
rers and magazines secure all the in
fern alton he needs. And ditto as to all
the European powers. Nothing is done in
a corner over here. We strive to

We are told that We have no army, and

For ten years We have been thinking OF
Dewey and his men as heroes. They
have been regarded as fine fellows-sea
dogs of the best breed. To many persons
Dewey has looked much like his old chief
Farragut. But this occurred at the meet
ing of the Senate naval committee the
other day when Capt. Fiske was on the
stand:
Mr. Tillman created some amusemen,
by suggesting that Capt. Fiske had moi

The Red Plague.

Secretary Straus invokes the statutes
against the anarchists in terms which in
dictate vigorous campaign for their elm
ination. There is law a-plenty for their
eviction when caught and proved guilty
of harboring evil designs or subversive
sentiments regarding the government.
Whether there are means for their detec-
ton remains to be seen.
The crusade is tardily begun. 1t should
have been started Immediately upon the
enactment of the law, a year ago. We
have suddenly awakened to the fact that
as a people we have failed in an i'm
portant duty, that of safeguarding our
selves from invasion by a dangerous host.
The test will now come in the manner of
our law enforcement, our belated curative
measures.
The crime at Chicago was of type
indicative of the propaganda of anarchism.
1t was not an individualistic assault, but
institutional. The wretch who under
took to assassinate the chief of police was
striking not at the man but at the law.
That he failed and paid by his life for
his venture merely differentiates the en-
terprise in results from others that have
ended in loss to the community. The
spirit of the anarchist the destroyer of
law and order, the foe of society, is be-
hind the weapon whether the missile
goes to it's mark or not.
Too much liberty Of speech, too much
patience with the proclaimers of per-
nicious doctrine. too much latitude of
conduct permitted the agitators of all
classes who rail at society, these are the
contributory causes of the conditions
which exist today. We have as a people
taken refuge in our self-proclaimed toler-
ance and our sympathy for the oppressed.
We have deluded ourselves that in land
so broad, with institutions so free, and
with traditions so eloquent of human lib
erty, it was not only safe but necessary
to grant the utmost range of personal
expression. The order given by Secretary
Straus to his subordinates is an acknowl-
edgment of that error.
Complete and vigorous cooperation with
the national authorities on the part of
those of states and cities is to be ex-
pected. The work is under federal
auspices, but the immediate benefits flow
TO the communities. 1t behooves every
governor, every mayor, every chief of
police, every prosecuting officer to be on
the alert for opportunities to advance this
cause of law and public security. The
time has come when it is necessary for
every agent of good government to con-
tribute to the end that this plague of
anarchism may be stamped out.
