SHOTS AT THE ANARCHISTS.

What deeds are done in thy land, oh, Liberty!—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The lives of a million such worthless reptiles would not compensate for the loss of one noble, upright, useful public citizen like McKinley.—Kansas City Journal. The nation demands Czolgosz’s exemplary punishment and a stricter surveih lance over anarchist clubs and all threatening enemies of the government. —Chicago Record-Herald. The anarchist exclusion act prepared in 1894 by John G. Carlisle, and which, after passing the House in the Fifty-third Congress, was amended by the Senate and was finally overlooked in the rush and confusion attending the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, might be revived when Congress meets. —Troy Times. The death of a thousand cuts, as described by Minister Wu, is not a pleasant subject to dwell upon. It is the punishment that is inflicted upon the person who attempts the life of the Chinese Emperor. In addition to this expiation his entire family—all of his blood—is exterminated. China evidently is not a healthful country for the blatant anarchist. — Cleveland Plain Dealer. The assassination of McKinley was an attempt to destroy the form of government which they had chosen for themselves and given their blood and devotion to maintain. Is it not time that this foreign riff-raff and their domestic fellow conspirators, who take refuge under our free government only to plan and direct destruction of all government, be crushed?—Louisville Courier-Journal. If Czolgosz is an anarchist, the fundamental law of the land, which forbids cruel and unusual punishments, should be suspended, and the most cruel and unsyal punishment that human ingenuity can devise, should be relentlessly' applied to deter the devils from the pursuit of their inhuman lusF for blood.— St. Louis Republic. Send Czolgosz to death, imprison Emmn Goldman and the other anarchist leaders, and a great step will have been taken to rid the country of the cowardly tribe that believes in government by the stiletto.—lndianapolis Sun.
