The opinion Is now eiuietly but rapidly gaining ground that Oct. 8 is the set time to put an end to the Taggart regime. Tho leniency which the Hoard of Safety ha shown toward saloon keepers In reference to paying for their licenses is far from creditable. Mr. Maguire is pledged to a "just" enforcement of the law?, which in the Taggart code means that those who fight for the party may break the laws with impunity. The Globe-Democrat pays that the space under roof at the St. Louis fair will be greater than that of the Chicago exposition. If so, It is time that the construction were begun. The Republican or anti-Taggart voter who makes It a point to interest his neighbora and friends in voting the Republican ticket renders better service than a speakV with a bra band. The attack which President Shaffer made upon tho Federation of Labor and upon President Gompers will bo quite certain to destroy the sympathy which other organized labor has had for him and his associate?. The co.intry anxiously Jiopes that the President will exercise the utmost caution to the end that bis life may not be taken by an assassin. It is not a question of personal .courage, but a. mere matter tit prudence. What ti b essed thing it would be for Indianapolis f its city affairs COllld be administered upon the strictly business methods which characterize the control of school affair Ly the present board and the officers it hi s chose n. The representatives of European governments are predicting the failure of the Pan-Amerle;".i congress through the hostility of Chile to a system of arbitration which wdl put an end to wars. It Is not the first instance where the wish has been father of the thought. If Presidents Gompers and Mitchell had fully indorsed and supported President Shaffer they could have brought about a very general interruption of business and Industry and incited bitter hostility between capital and labor. Fortunately, these leader held to better methods. Senator Piatt's emphatic declaration that tho Republican organization will cordially support Mr. Low or any other respectable candidate for mayor of New York, whether liepubllcan or Democrat, in order to defeat Tammany, Is giving great concern to those enemies who have represented him as the ally of Tammany. The Republican candidates fr councilmen at large constitute one of the best tickets of the kind ever presented to the people of Indianapolis. Kach is engaged in a reputable business and is a man of public ypirit. Most of them are young men whose future is bound up in the future of Indlanapolis. As a whole they are sufficiently intelligent and broad to serve the people of every part of the city. Since her liberation with other suspects for lack of evidence to hold them Emma Goldman says she has no plans for the Immediate future, except, she adds. "I have promised to write articles' for three magazines and journals." It is a pity the public could not know in advance what magazines and journals have asked the vicious woman to furnish articles for publication. "Whether he writes in defense of anarchistic principles or not the money she receives for her articles will contribute to her support and indirectly to the propagation of her principles. The reading public should establish a strict quarantine against any magazine or Journal that prints an article from her on any subjt. Interest in the city election, which will occur on the 8th of October, should not caue voters to korget the election for members of the School Board, which will be held at the same time. There are time members to be elected, and fifteen candidates are certified, including three members of the present board, viz., Charles V. Moore, Andrew M. Sweeney and lluiry C Sickels. The ether twelve names Include some first-rate men, but the three above named ought to be re-elected. The schools were never better managed than they are now, both as to financial and educational interests. They are entirely fevered from political influence; or pulls," and managed on busing principles and are making steady progress. It should be the desire of every citizen to maintain thes conditions, and there is no better way to do that than to continue the three members of the board who have helped to

establish present conditions and who are candidates for re-election. the ticket I.t made up the name of Mr. Moores stands first in the list, that of Mr. Sweeney third and that of Mr. Sickels fourteenth. A m parate cross mark should b- plat ed opposite each name. swift .iistici:. A London cablegram says that the British press expresses approval of the promptness with which the assassin Czolgorz was brought to trial and the trial to a conclusion. The approval was probably warmer because this promptness and celerity of action was so different from the usual American way in criminal cases. From a legal point of view Czolgoez's crime did not differ from any other deliberate murder, and as far as the ends of justice were concerned there was no extraordinary reason for promptness of action and switness of punishment in his case than that of any other murderer. Yet thousands of murders have been committed in circumstances where the interests of justice and of society demanded prompt action as much as they did in this case, and where the evidence of guilt was as conclusive, and yet, under our lax and shilly-shally methods of en-

fcrcing law and administering justice, trials have dragged along for months, sometimes, by means of appeal?, for years, and if sentimental juries have not been led to acquit the criminals they have finally escaped through delay. This has happened thousands of times, and there can le no doubt it has contributed materially to the loss of confidence in legal methods and disrespect for courts t'aat has found expression in the increase of lynchings. It is true that Czolgocz contributed to the swiftness of his conviction by his own conduct, and the circumstances of the crime made his defense unpopular, but if lie had killed a private citizen in precisely the same manner and had chosen to employ a lawyer to defend him there is no telling what sort of a technical, trumpedup defense would have been made, nor how long the trial might havo lasted, with a possible acquittal at last. The lesson of tho case, and a very important one, is that every person charged with crime, especially with a capital crime, should be brought to trial as soon as possible and the trial pushed to a definite conclusion as soon as possible, regardless of technical objections and artificial pleas. What was done in this case could be done in thousands of others in spite of the efforts cf pettifogging criminal lawyers to battle justice, and society would be greatly the gainer if it were done. Only one thing now is needed to make the case memorable as the swiftest culmination of legal justice on record in this country, and that is a speedy execution. Certainty and swiftness of punishment are two important factors In preventing crime, and when the fact of guilt has been clearly established by lecal methods punishment sJiould follow as soon as possible. In this case the moral atmosphere will be purified and the national character elevated at home and abroad by an execution as soon as Iho law of New York will permit. 3101! LAW AMI AXAltCHY. The Journal yesterday contained a dispatch from Holla, Mo., describing tho shooting of a young woman of that place by a local teacher, his subsequent flight and pursuit by a posse of citizens, concluding with: "If he is captured by the posse the chances are that he will be lynched." A later dispatch says that having been surrounded, and capture being inevitable, he shot himself. The same Issue of the Journal that contained the statement regarding the rrobable lynching of this man contained Judge Lewis's dignified speech in the Czolgocz case, in which, with forceful and impressive language, he declared his conviction that mob law is a crater menace to our institutions than anarchy is. He did not underrate the evil er danger of anarchy. He said: Wo all feel that such doctrines are dangerous, are criminal, are doctrines that will subvert our government in tlma if they are allowed to prevail. While 1 believe firmly In that, 1 do not believe it creates a danger to this court equal to the belief, becoming ! so common, that men who are charged with crime shall not be permitted to go through the form of a trial in a court of Justice, but that lynch law shall take the place of the calm und dignified administration of law by our courts of Justice. About the same time, in another part of the country, a'nd regarding the matter from another point of view, Booker T. Washington gave out a statement in which he said: Tn all sincerity. I want to ask, is Czolgocz nlone guilty? Has not the entire Nation had a part In this greatest crime of the century? What is anarchy but a defiance of law. and has not the Nation reaped what it has been sowing? According to records. ' 2.5l(J persons have been lynched in the United States during the past sixteen years. There havo been engaged in this anarchy of lynching nearly 125oo persons. To check the present tendency, it seems to me there are two duties that face us. Pirst, for all classes to unite in an earnest effort to create such public sentiment as will nuke crime disappear, and especially is it needful that we see that there is no idle, tlissolute. purposeless class permitted in our midst. Second, for all to unite in a brave effort to bring criminals to Justice and where a supposed criminal is found, to se that ho has a. fair, patient, legal trial. Thero Is nothing strikingly original in these views, for the kinship between mob law and anarchy is so close and obvious that tho view has occurred to many persons, and has found expression in many places. The point is that at the very moment when law-abiding people are emphasizing this relationship and even declaring that mob law is the greater danger of the iwo, a crowd of "good citizens" In Missouri was pursuing a man who had committed murder with tho avowed intention of lynching him if he were captured. Are we to go on in the old way? si.Mi:m; the city. Thos"u who are sniveling about the "slandering of the city" because the truth is told regarding the results of Mr. Taggart s six years have unfortunately repeated the words of the Tammany leaders in New York whenever any one shows up the hldeousness of Tammany robbery in that city. Thiu does a feeble Imitator of the Tammany Infamy follow In the footsteps of its teacher. If to tell the absolute truth as to tho results of six years of Mayor Taggart is "slandering the city." what name can be given to the acts themselves? If it is "slandering the city" to siy that a levy of tiu cents was ampleto pay the running expenses of the elty tie year before the election of Mr. Taxman, and a Tl-cent levy for l:K)l is nt sufficient, and that a 73-cont levy has been recommended for K2 by Mayor Tagart, what sort of word or phrase can be applied to the fact of increasing the levy 21 2-3 ptr cent, in six years? if it 1 "slandtrlng the city" to say that Mr. Taxgart'i policy has increased the bonded debt of the elty I per cent, in six years, what defense can be made of the

policy of Issuing bond3 to pay exorbitant prices for lands for Riverside Park? Again, we are told that those who expose transactions that cannot be denied or satisfactorily explained are guilty of attacking the credit of the city. Such talk is nonsense. The Taggart administration cannot injure the credit of the city because bond3 issued in excels of 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation of the city would be invalid. With the English limitation in the Constitution it is impossible to injure the credit of the city materially. But for that limitation no one would dare say what the outstanding bonded debt might be at this time. Fortunately the limitation stands between those who would profit by continuous bond issues and the taxpayers upon- whose property bonds issued by the city are a mortgage. As no more bonds can be issued, the emphatic indorsement of the Taggart administration will make it necessary to increase the tax levy from year to year to carry out Taggart's policy. The election of Mr. Maguire means the indorsement and continuation of a policy which has increased the tax levy 21 2-3 per cent. If showing what has been dona by the Taggart administration and warning the people against its continuation is slandering the city and injuring its credit, it Is time that the acts which cause such comment should cease.

The project for building a manufacturing suburb south of the city has much to commend it as regards location. It is, for all purposes, an excellent part of the city. It is well situated in regard to railroad facilities, the surface is favorable for construction, and there is an abundance of excellent land for building houses for workmen as well as for factories. During the past few years the growth of tho city has chiefly been in the northern part. To build factories south of the city will give it an extension which will increase the value of property in that direction.' At the s;ame time the location spoken of is nearer the heart of business than most any other available locality. The Buffalo bar deserves great credit for services rendered in connection with the Czolgocz trial. By selecting two eminent lawyers to defend' the assassin it contributed materially to the dignity of the proceeding, and by employing distinguished insanity experts to examine the prisoner in advance it closed the door against the possible raising of that defense. The bar evidently felt that the reputation of tho city was in a measure involved, and recognized the duty of doing all it could to insure a righteous verdict. Those who are in position to understand the details of the work to insure a dedication of the' soldiers and sailors' monument commensurate with the structure and its relations to the State will wonder that at one time it was believed that a creditable demonstration could be arranged for in two or three months. Yesterday the members of tho executive committee present discussed the details and laid out work for members to do before the next meeting of the committee, Oct. IS. It Is not to be supposed for a moment that the Council would imperil tho city's credit or seek to embarrass municipal business by refusing to authorize a loan if it were shown to be necessary and legal, but the Council has a right to judge for itself, and, in fact, must be its own judge as to whether a proposed loan would exceed the constitutional limit or not. Tha day before President McKinley' death, and when he was reported worse, at least one London paper contained four columns of American news mainly relating to this event. This is a great deal of space to give to this country, even on such an occasion, and shows that the editors over there are beginning to look upon us as a news center. Admiral Schley's less in the death of Hon. J. M. Wilson 13 already apparent. Ilia remaining counsel is making the mistake of adopting ordinary court trial tactics In a dignifled naval court of inquiry. The only difference between the Taggart machine and a Maguire machine would be that the latter would be a cheap Imitation. The mayor of North Plalnfield, N. J., has ordered the chief of police of that town to arrest any person found selling or ped dling the New York Journal, on the ground that such traffic tends to disturb the peace of the community. The town has a population of 6,0u0, consisting largely of persons who do business in New York. It comes to light that Mr. Thomas G. Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Hallway, who was knighted a few days ago by King Edward VII, Is a native of Wisconsin and got his early railroad training on the Milwaukee & St. Paul Itailroad.

Its Plinse Discussed by n Preacher and n Doctor. . J. P. Mowbray, in New York Post. "Ituthless extermination has always resulted in unexpected propagation. It is sowing dragons' teeth; that is to say, you debase justice to persecution, at least that would be the new cry. Your repressive measures must ever be inadequate to meet the case. Y'ou cannot put a guard over TD.'jüo.OjO people, and somewhere among the TU.O'tf.OuO will always be hiding the irresponsible and irrational miscreant. Y'ou cannot surround your chief magistrate with an imperial guard as if he were a czar, nor can you in a republic isolate him like a tsultan. The American people will never submit to despotic police arrangements to etcure the safety of their rulers. It really looks to me, doctor, as -if our Presidents will havo to take their chances of sudden death along with their other responsibilities, and, who knows, that may in time furnish us with men who are prepared to die in the performance of their duties, rather than lower the standard of American confidence and generosity to the skulking system of a despot." "All of which sounds very much," said the doctor, "as if you put -assassination among th circumstances over which wo not only have no control, but over which we should not specially worry ourselves, and 1 object to that complacent moral view of lt. I prefer to look at tho matter as I would look at yellow fever or the black plague, and take the same scientific measures to stamp it out." "Ah," said the dominie. "I should be delighted to hear how yoü would set about it." "I do not wish to ba understood as having any patent remedy," said the doctor, "but I do think that society in a country like this might reduce such crimes as we are discussing to an insignificant minimum by bringing to bear upon them all all its Immeasurable advantages of scientific knowledge and healthy moral courage." "Ah, delightful," said the dominie. "What you call our liberal and confident system' continued tho doctor, "breeds anarchism, and is then appalled at it. To suppose that the Buffalo miscreant had any motive which even a pervert could grasp defies all logic, lie was not seeking for vengeance, but for notoriety, and such is the condition of our social system that it feeds and fans the animus while it tries to prevent tho act. I don't think you quit understand what a tremendous personal factor this desire for notoriety is in a debased and narrow mind. To suppose that thu Buffalo pervert really believed President McKinley to bo a despot who should suffer dtath is to give the fellow credit for a ratiocinatlve Insanity that is without any warrant in his act. lie was simply, like most of his fellows, suffering from a rancorous insignificance. By virtue of his capacities, he lived like an obscure atom in a sea of activities. How to attract attention to himself. In two hours after his act, his egotism stood side by tide with the President of the United States, the focus of the world's attention. For this he was willing to die. .For this ho is photographed, bulletined, interviewed, crossquestioned by experts, lifted in one moment from the slouKh of his insignificance to a pinnacle of iniamy. He does not shudder he exults. Ho has no conscience and llttl reason. He only knows that he is suddenly made conspicuous and has brought to his side all the dignitaries who before would not have wiped their feet upon him. "You are laying bure the mystery of evil in human nature," said the dominie. "I try to do that myself eery Sunday." "I am complaining," replied the doctor, "as a psychologist and an alienist, that our social and political system propagates with J ono hand what it tries to extirpate with the other. It invites the ignorance of the earth to come here and become men and brothers and govern our cities, and then It has occasional spasms when it finds that this ignorance misunderstands and misapplies its freedom. It publishes a press cunningly adapted to their misguiding and specially illuminated down to their lowest prejudices and Inherited hatreds." "Oh, Oh." cried the dominie protestingly. "It's a fact," insisted the doctor. "Not a fortnight ago I picked up one of these cheap sheets, and it had a double cartoon on its tirst page, representing J. Pierpont Morgan, elegantly attired and surrounded by bags of gold, preparing to slip aboard his yacht. He wore a look of malignant pleasure, as if he had instigated the strike and meant to enjoy it at a safe distance. On the other side of the cartoon we saw the starving employe of the iron works surrounded by his gaunt and hungry children, crying for bread, while be pointed helplessly to tho escaping millionaire. I suppose that had some ignorant Pole or Italian, inflamed by this picture, rtruck a knife into our distinguished citizen, the police would have Immediately set out to search for Einma Goldman, that poor incendiary, whose occasional screech utterly lacks the warrant or the subtlety of a free press." Here the doctor paused for a moment, and after looking at the dominie, who was walking up and down majestically, with his hands behind him, added: "I am waiting to hear you say something about the Intelligence of the common people, that cannot be fooled all the time. That reliance, you must; admit. Is occasionally staggered by such acts as that at Buffalo, which indicate an utter, lack of Intelligence." "And yet." replied the dominie, "the intelligent American people who crowded upon that scene, and who were driven into something like panic by their horror and indignation. Instead of tearing the miscreant to pieces, handed him over to the law, which it was well known had failed to provide adequately for any suoh case. A "NATIONAL QUESTION. State Lnws for Cntne Preservation Shonltl He Uniform. S. Palmer, in Leslie's Weekly. The interdependence of States in the matter of game laws may be illustrated by one or two examples. The Xew England States, without exception, protect the robin, but their efforts can never produce the best results so long as the bird is treated as game during its winter sojourn In the South, and killed for market. Eastern cities now ob-' tain their supplies of quail, prairie chickens and other game very largely from distant States In the West. Nebraska finds that her quail are being rapidly killed off to supply the markets of Philadelphia and other Eaätern cities, and, for her own protection, prohibits the shipment of birds from the State, while Pennsylvania, finding her supply ef quail entirely inadequate to meet the local demand., declares that birds taken within the State? shall not be sold at any time. The Philadelphia game dealers contend that this law cannot restrict tales of gam brought in from other States and uccordii.gly supply their customers, In season and out, with imported quail kept in cold storage. High prices stimulate their agents in Nebraska to evade the shipping aw, and their country correspondents in Pennsylvania to ignore the local law; and the nativ birds when placed on sale cannot b distinguished from thos,? which are Imported, tlame preservation in Pennsylvania thus becomes doubly f.Jfllcult. Under the operation of non xprt lawn the supply et quail from the West Is diminished, prices naturally rise, and a premium is placed on the destruction of native birds. Unless the State can enforce the law with respect to imported game tdie cannot effectually protect her own bird. I't'iie for II I to. tlanta Journal.

PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE

THEODORE AM) MUS. HOOSEVELT AHE AN IDEA I, COt lI.E. Ilovr the Strenuous Mnn Courted Edith Kernilt Cnron-Married In England Their Children. Washington Special. Both President and Mrs. Roosevelt are in the very prime of middle life. They have always known each other and are of practically the same age. Mrs. Roosevelt is not yet old enough for her dark hair, which she wears drawn softly away from her high forehead, to have become tinged with gray. Her eyes sparkle with all the vigor of youth. When she smiles it is in the happiest manner in the world. Mrs. Roosevelt is fair in complexion, aquiline in prolile, of medium height, slender and with an aristocratic bearing. She lias indeed great natural stateliness, and when dressed for dinner or a reception is quite the grande elame. She is, indeed, a thousand times more conventionally correct than her Rough Rider husband, who has a great love for making laws unto himself. Mrs. Roosevelt has, indeed, always succeeded in subordinating her own personality to that -of her husband. She has never been in any sense a "public woman," even when she was the wife of the Governor. She avoids clubs, prominent identification with any movement, social display or ostentation. Nevertheless she is thoroughly informed and keenly interested in every question of the day. It is only that so far she has indulged a preference for watching history rather than to have the smallest share in its making. As an administrator Ms. Roosevelt is superb. Her husband's career has made it necessary for her to conduct several homes at the same time, which she has done with masterly efficiency. Her financial ability also quite distinguishes her from the run of women. The secret of unusual and perfect harmony between the Itoosevelts necessitates the telling of a long story. They are devotedly in love with each other, and have been for a long time. If there ever lived a man fortunate in his domestic relations it is the "strenuous" Rough Rider. And his romance began long years ago. Mrs. Roosevelt was Edith Kermit Carow, daughter of Charles Carow of New Y'ork and granddaughter of General Tyler, of Norwich, Conn. Edith was born in the old Carow mansion, Fortieth street and Union Square. Her girlhood was passed in New Y'ork, during part of which she was a pupil at Miss Comstock's school in West Fortieth street. The Carows, as all New Yorkers know were then one of the foremost families in town. The Roosevelts held a similar position. There was a strong intimacy between them, Edith Carow in particular, always having been a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt's sister, who is now Mrs. Douglas Robinson. Hardly a week passed that Theodore Roosevelt and Edith. Carow did not meet. They were both then in the their early teens and far too young for any thought of romance. And it was with a purely cousiply friendliness that they said goodbyc when young Iheodore left .New York to go to Harvard. Theodore Roosevelt has never been known to waste an opportunity. He learned more at Harvard than ten ordinary boys would have learned, and he did not neglect his social advantages either. For he had become engaged in the meantime to Miss Alice Lee, then one of the belles of Boston. The Lees were one of the best Boston families. Theodore was considered an exceptionally promising young man. No objee;tion was raised to their marriage. This was to prove the first tragic chapter in Theodore Roosevelt's life, for after only a year of married life his young wife died, leaving a baby girl and namesake .behind ner. 1ms baby la now the crown-un daughter of Mr. Roosevelt, Miss Alice, who Is to make her debut In ..ashington this winter. While becoming accustomed to his grief, Theodore Roosevelt met again and often the young woman with whom he had been such good friends half a dozen years before. In the meantime Edith Carow had gained a reputation for absolute lack of susceptibility. It was believed she would never marry. Far handsomer men than Theodore Roosevelt had paid their court in vain. Gradually, however, during the next few years an understanding was established between them. Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Carow discovered that they were in love and electrified New Y'ork by announcing their engagement. They were married a few months afterward in England. Miss Carow went over in advance und met her mother and sister in England. In November Mr. Roosevelt joined them, and on Dec. 2, ISso, he and Edith Carow were married in St. George's Church, Hanover Square, London, by Canon Cammadge, a cousin of Miss Carow. After several months travel on the continent Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt returned to America and went to live at their present beautiful home at Oyster Bay, whither they have repeatedly returned after the variety of official homes they have since occupied. Their neighbors in Oyster Bay regard the Roosevelts now, as they did seventeen years ago, as the happiest pair of lovers anywhere about. They are still all sufficient for each other's happiness. In the country Mrs. Roosevelt dresses quite properly in shirtwaists and short skirts, varied by an occasional muslin. Her taste in dress, however, is generally known to be of the quietest. The fancies of the hour Mrs. Roosevelt abhors. Striking effects she is thoroughly averse to, and she wears few Jewels. The result is that you would never remark her in a crowd of women unless it were for her quiet distinction of appearance. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the young Roosevelts adore both their parents. In addition to Miss Alice, there are live younirer children Master Teddy, jr., who is thirteen years old and is now at school at Oroton. and Ethel, Archibald, Kermit and Quentln. Miss Alice Roosevelt is a pretty blondhaired, blue-eyed girl, who, In spite of her Roosevelt traits, greatly resembles her dead mother. She la thoroughly devoted to her lively little brothers and sisters, and the entire six have as good frolics together as If they were all the same age. Neither Mrs. Roosevelt nor President Roosevelt believes in restraining the natural good spirit of children. Doubtless the most interesting of the youngsters is Theodore, jr., who Is the miniature duplicate of his father In more way? than one. Mister "Teddy" Is so old for his years that someone has suspected him of being "forty years old when he was horn." Ills manner is remarkably Impressive for a boy of thlrten, and his convictions are as positive as his father's. A well-meaning reporter who once, after meeting- young "Teddy." published a complimentary paragraph about htm will never forget his next greeting from ths youngster. "Mr attention was called to your article about me," said this dignified little creature. "Please do not do such a thing again. T am not a candidate for public omd2 and have no deIre for notoriety." Young "Teddy" Is a great reader, like his father, and he has also a marked taste for all outdoor sports. In winter he slides down Sagamore hill on his sled, and in summer he fishes, bathes, ride his pony and takes thirty-five mile walks, as he did not many weeks ago.

The English know how to live, and we believe no one would deny that they also know how to die. The commanding officer of the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra went down with the boat he commanded, with arms folded and a smile upon his face. He was in charge when she struck the rocks, his foes, and would he run?

Rather not. Hut that was not all. One

of the sailor, only a "common" sailor, without commission or high place, rising from the waves and finding that he could touch the side of the only boat that car ried its occupants to safety, saw that there was not room for another, and. making a remark to that effect, let go and went to his grave. Of the two we think the act of the common sailor the greater, büt both are 'fit subjects for either Parliament or the poet, using the word poet in its proper sense. THE MAN AND THE EXECUTIVE. "What Gcnernl Arthur Found After He W'nn President. New Y'ork Letter in Philadelphia Press. Some months after General Arthur became President he was visited by the late John J. O'Brien, who was really at the head of the Republican organization in New Y'ork city after General Arthur resigned the presidency of the county committee. O'Brien was very anxious that the President should make a certain appointment to a federal office in New Y'ork city. The man whose name O'Brien laid before the President was an intimate friend of General Arthur's. But the President declined to make the'appointment and thereby angered O'Brien, who said to him: "Why, general, if you were still chairman of the New Y'ork county committee and some one else was President you would be here as I am asking for the appointment of this man." And General Arthur said in reply, very kindly, but very earnestly: "Johnnie, what you have said is tho exact truth. If I wero president of the county committee I certainly would be here asking for that appointment, and it would be entirely proper for me to do it. but. Johnnie, I want to say to you that I have learned one thing since I have been in this place, and that is that General Arthur is one man and the President of the United States is another, and that what General Arthur might often like to do the President of the United States may feel it unwise or improper to do." As an organization man Theodore Roosevelt might view a proposition in a far different light from that In which President Roosevelt would view it, and in that case the opinion of the President would be supreme. But as an organization man Congress and the leaders of the Republican party will discover that President Roosevelt differs in his relations with them in no manner from the characteristic course taken by President McKinley. He will seek as carefully to obtain opinion and views as did his predecessor, and he will bo discovered to be very far from that opinionated, obstinate character which some have regarded as his real quality. Nevertheless, Mr. Roosevelt's succession to the presidency vastly changes the political situation. In this State there has already been a carefully prepared programme, having in view the nomination of Governor Odell for a second term and then the placing of him prominently before the Nation as New Y'ork's candidate for the presidency Jn 1904. It is safe to say that, so far as President Roosevelt himself Is concerned, he has given not one thought tc any possible political changes that may be inevitable by reason of his succession, but, of course, there does run all through this community and probably through every community in this country an impression that if the new President maintains or is permitted to maintain the policies and the administration of his predecessor, in perfect accord with tho solemn pledge given at Buffalo and justified by the retention of the McKinley administration, then in all probability by common consent and by universal acclaim the President will be named three years hence as his ow n successor and in response to the irresistible demand of the American people. BEFORE AND AFTER. Samples of Such "Freedom of the Press" fin Should He Aliridgetl. Nashville American (Dem.) The day after the President was shot John Most's anarchistic paper, the Freheit, contained the following editorial: "The greatest of all follies in the world is the belief that there can be a crime of any sort against despots and their accomplices. Such a belief is in itself a crime. Despots are outlaws; they are in human shape what the tiger is among beasts to spare them is a crime. As despots make use of everything, treachery, poison, murder, etc., so everything should be employed against them. Yes, the crime directed against them is not merely a right; it is also the duty of every one who has the opportunity to carry it out, and it will be his glory if it is successful. We say, 'Murder the murderers! Save humanity by blood and steel, poison and dynamite!' " Most has been arrested and is now in jail. There is another editor of the same stripe who ought to be in jail. This is the editor of L'Aurore, the organ of French Anarchists in this country, published at Spring Valley, 111. Here is an extract from an editorial in its columns on the assassination of the President: "We are not in the least surprised at this occurrence, because we Anarchists maintain that the individual which stands highest in the social scale and impersonates the political and economical oppression under which the people are suffering so horribly is naturally most exposed to attacks by the oppressed and disinherited, who suffer under their emancipated thoughts and from an empty stomach. In his position as President, as king, as emperor, he also is most exposed to the vicissitudes of his position; he also has his labor accidents. "To the rebel In Buffalo, the courageous and sincere man, we extend greeting." The author of this utterance is still at large. He doubtless feels safe in the exercise of the right of free speech and the conduct of a fiee press. Under our laws there is nothing in the Most article on which its author can be tried or punished. Nor is there anything in the L'Aurore article to warrant the punishment of the editor under the law. Those who applaud assassins and their bloody work are no greater enemies to society than those who through sinister suggestion Incite the spirit of anarchy. The "free press" of this country has men connected with it who ought to be engaged at hard labor within prison walls. HAMILTON'S AMBITION. Hon. Isnnc Jenklnson Recalls n. I'nrKotten Chapter of History. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In an editorial in last Sunday's Journal you say: "A gifted man in many directions, Aaron Burr was, above all things, a visionary. Ills scheme of empire, which cannot be refuted by facts, was so Utopian that it may lead many people to doubt if a sane man could have embarked upon such an impossible enterprise." This reCalls an almost forgotten chapter of history, to which, with your permission, I will make brief reference. It will be remembered that, during the closing years of the eighteenth century, a project was proposed to revolutionize the South American provinces of Spain. The scheme originated with Francisco de Mlrando, a native South American, able, plausible and indefatigable in urging his plans for many years. He strove to interest both the governments of Great Britain and of the United States in his project, which he termed the "liberation of South America." He succeeded in securing promises of assistance from Great Britain, but he failed to receive favor from the government of the United States. He was more successful with some of the prominent nun of this country. Alexander Hamilton espoused his cause with great ardor, and became his active partisan. Ruf us Kiug. General Knox and other leaders tl the Federal party, friends of Hamilton, were alo active supporters of Mlrando. England had agretd to furnish a nava' force sufficient for the purposts of the expedition, and a certain number of troops for Inland operations. But the latter weie not as many us Mlrando required, and to supply the remainder he applied to this country, in taking charge of the scheme In this country Hamilton stipulated that Great Britain should provide only the naval forces, ami he would furnish the whole ef the land forces required. This change of plan Mlrando was aide to bring about without trouble. On the Kuh of October. lTl'V, he writes to Hamilton from London and says: "Your wishes are in i-ome sort already accomplished, seeing It has been agreed here on one side not to employ in the operations on land English troops; seeing that the auxiliary land fortes are to be exclusively American, while the naval force fchall be purely English. Everything la

smooth, and wo wait only for the fiat of your illustrious President to depart like lightning." With the view of securing tho "fiat" of our President, Mirando addressed a elispateh to President Adams, by a messenger, who also carried a letter of introduction to Hamilton, in which he says: "This will be delivered to you. my dear and respectable friend, by my compatriot. Don , charge d with di.-patt lies of the highest importance for the President of the United States; lie will inform you confidentially what you desire to learn on this subject." Mr. Adams was then at his home la Massachusetts, the dispatches were received by th( secretary of Ftate, and by him forwarded to the President. Mr. Adams was not in the conT.denre of Mirando er Hamilton, neither hrui beforo consulted him. He elid not. therefore, know of the graml scheme ef conquest anl revolution they had planned. Ho wrote to the secret try of state, saying: "We are friends witn Spain; if we w.re cnemhs would the project be useful to us? It will not ba in character for me to answer the letter. Will any notice of it. in any manner, be proper?" The secretary made no response, and no further effort was mad to secure the President's approval, and he heard no more from it. Great Britain was then at war with France, and Spain was France's ally. This would justify tha British government in the proposeei attack upon the Spanish provinces, but tha United States was at peace with both France and Spain, though threatened wita an attack from France. Hamilton had by a series of well executeel intrig'ics succeeded in placing himself substantially at the head of the army.: and was pressing for a large increase of. the army, on the pre text that France was about to attack us. Then in the eommand of the army, he proposed to take a portion or all ef it, under his personal command, s to the conquest of the Spanish colonies in South America. In August. 17: before

the President had been approached upon this subje-et. or had heard of it. Hamilton's plans had been mature d. At this elate he had written to Rufus King. American minister to Great Britain, and said: "Wita regard to the enterpr-ise in epiestion. I vis! it much to be undertaken, but I should ba glad that the principal agency was in tha United States, they to furnish the whole land force necessary. The command in this case would very naturally fall upon me; and I hope I should disappoint no favorable anticipations. The independemy of the separated territory, under a moderate government, with the joint guarantee ' of the co-operating powers, stipulating equal privileges in cummercr, would be; tho sum of the results to be accomplished." At the Fame time that Hamilton writes thus to King, he writes to Mirando: "Tha. plan, in my opinion, ought to in a fie e t of (Jreat Britain, an army ef the United States, a government for the liberated territory agreeable to both the co-operators, about which there will be no difiVulty. To arrange a plan, a compede-nt authority from Great Britain to some person here, -is the best expedient. Your prosenee. here in this case will bo extremely essential. We are raising an nrmy of twelve thousand men. General Washington has resumed his station at the bead of our army. I am appointee! second in command." The whole correspondence is greatly extended, I cannot give more of it in this article, but it. is all of the same character. Hamilton wants all the land fighting to be Jone by American troops, urnlvr his personal command. It was so arranged. It will be no-, ticed that Hamilton had engaged in this scheme without the knowledge of the President and without authority of the government of the United States. It was an individual adventure-, in which he intended to use the army of tho United States pole ly by virtue of being prae ticallv the com-mandcr-in-chief. And it was to be used in this unlawful manner against a nation between which and mir own country peaceful relations were existing. That Hamilten had gre at e xpe e tations of glory and renown from the- sueeessful accomplishment of this enterprise, is told us by his son, in the history eif the Republic, which is the "Eife of Alexander Hamilton." by John C. Hamilton. In Volume 7. Page 217. in re ferring to this subject the son says: "It was an enterprise worthy the best aspirations of humanity. To release South America from a colonial sway, :n principle and in practice' the most oppresrive on earth 1 enable h-r nurn rous populations to form numerate governments ulteel to their condition to open to the world a commeree of vast capacity, enslaved by a grasping monopoly, to remove the only serious external einiger to which tho American Union was xposed the severance; of the western territory thus 'to cut,' as Hamilton e xpressed "it, 'the Gordian knot' of its great lestinlr: to arrest the progress of the revolutionary doctrines France was then pmpagatlng in ihoo regions, and to unite the Amciiam hemisphere in one nrreat sei'ty of c-orn-mon interests and common principles gainst the corruptions, the vi.vs, the i.ew theories of Europe theso were ohjor-ts worthy the energies nf the highest genius. Hamilton felt all the importance f thin great reformation. He bellevt d in its easy accomplishment. Ten thousand men. stationed at rallying points for the oppressed natives, was all the force he would have required, if aided by an adequate marine. With such a force, he confidently hoped, his name would descenel to a grateful posterity as the liberator eif South America." How insignificant Burr's "visionary" schemes seem beside thee 'oftier aspirations of Hamilton. Nor did Burr eve r picture to his mind a lovelier, a grander or a more magnificent country In which to erect bis Imperial throne than the land which Hamilton pre)pogrd te free 'from all oppression, all corruption, all vice and all unhappiness. nnd where his name should be reverenced through all the coming ag s by a grateful posterity. His son presents us the picture in words as warm and glowing as the land he describe-s. lie pay.-: "Hamilton had also bee n raise 1 to a high military command. Tho enterprise which be had long beheld at a Hstanco in its mighty bearing now assume! a new and 11 rect Importance. Regions th most beautiful en earth; half a continent, whose summits, in successive grandeur, touches the skies; whose foet bathed in two mighty oceans; over whose bosom unceasing summers shed their fragrant luxuriance, wafted to the ocean by rivers of unparalleled magnificence: while beneath, unexhausted ores in massive piles, and fields of jeweled wealth to be rescued from bemdage and made the abode of the virtuous joys of regulated freedom." It was a wonderful world of beauty nnd wealth that Hamilton wished to fight for, to conquer and enjoy; but as Burr afterwarels hael a Jefferson, so Hamilton had a John Adams to hinder. Adams, to 1h disgust of yds Cabinet, and Hamilton their mr-ster. m.'.de peace with France. No war with France, no army coul 1 be raided, ;m. therefore no conquest of South America.
