THE RIGHT OF SELF DEFENCE
Englishman Says Householders VII
Treat the New Law with Contempt.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Why this great disrespect OF law?
asks Mr. Clinton Durant Dunn in your
Issue OF to-day l venture 10 think the
letter OF Vermonter Immediately above
HIS supplies one answer. viz, that 20 many
laws contain foolish provisions which mar
their usefulness.
When I arrived in this country my knowl-
edge OF revolvers was confined 70 seeing
them in pawnbrokers windows. But here
! found that most people keep one in the
house as a protection from burglars. and
I think they are very necessary.
The Sullivan bill turns all these peaceful
householders into lawbreakers. The man
who shoots a burglar in hts own home Is
liable 10 arrest instead Of communication.
and an otherwise useful law is brought into
ridicule
I agree with your editorial. that this IS
not a question OF the right TO bear arms
that is understood TO be in a public man
ner. whereas a mans right 10 defend his
home against lawless ruffians Is beyond
dispute.
Here in New York City We have some OF
the worst criminals IN existence and in
sufficient police. So long as this condi-
ton continues the household-rs will keep
their revolvers ready FOR action and treat
this provision OF the sullivan bill with the
contempt II deserves ENGLISHMAN.

Amid all the discussions Of matters
relating TO the Territory Of Alaska
which have been current and animated
during the last few years there should
have been apparent TO the nation a most
impressive example Of the vindicat.on Of
farseeing craftsmanship by the logic
Of events. and Of the rebuke ana cOnfu-
sion Of those partisan or fractional iudg
ments which are based upon CursOry
views Of superficial appearances and are
stimulated by a certain facility Of phrase
making. Men now living remember well
the storm OF mingled derision and de-
nuncatiOn which was copiOusly directed
against William r. Seward for his pur-
chase of Alaska. He was said 10 have
annexed an iceberg and 10 have squan-
dered the nations money upon an Arctic
province: and Stewards Folly was
destined 70 be an enduring epithet Of
contempruous condemnation.
Yet to-day the almost incalculabe
wealth of that territory figures con
spicuouslv among the nations resources
and the development and administration
thereof form commanding issues in ma
tional politics The few millions which
Seward paid FOR Alaska are a negligible
rrifie when contrasted with lis vast
actual and potential value. Indeed. the
rurchase price was far more than re-
