AXAXAECHIST'S VIEW,
When anarchists in this country give nt
terance to expressions, such as Most of New
York used ujnin the death of President
Carnot. and such as the following which he
published in his paper last week, it is time
that this government dealt vigorously with
him and all men of his class. The day has
gone by when under the guise of personal
liberty a being who respects neither God,
man, the devil, nor the organized forms of
society, should be permitted to stir up and
en, bitter public feeling against the govern'
nient and all social institutions of a civil
ized country. His words in public follow,
ing the assassination were much more an
tagonistic to law and society than the fol
lowing, taken from bis paper:
" This w as not only the atonement for the
official murder of Ravachol, Yaillant and
Henri, but also for the innumerable judicial
and police barbarities practiced during Car
nots administration npon innumerable an
archists and other workmen. Carnot did
not only sign the questionable death sen
tence in cold blood, he was also in perfect
accord with the scurvy trickery of reaction
aries and the enemies of freedom. He de
clared himself the helper of his associates
in crime of the reactionary party and at the
same time himself as the representative and
the personification of class rule of the
French bourgeois, which at the present
shows itself the dirtiest and bloodiest mass
of corruption that ever encumbered the
crust of the earth, just as the bloody week
in May looms conspicuously forth.
" Who shed tears over the body of the ex
ecuted one? Only rascals and assassins;
but not one amang the oppressed and suf
fering mourned the tyrant's death. Rather
tears of joy and thanksgiving were shed by
the enlightened of all countries.
'Then know, 0 ye rich and ye powerful,
ye have yourselves brought it about that
there Is only one leeling left on the earth of
those ye have trodden down a burning
sense ol rage and hatred. When the time
comes for you to be purged from the face of
the earth like the poisonous worm with
pitch, sulphur and fire, then you will hear
nothing but songs of rejoicing and singing
in your ears."
Herr Most concludes with a glowing eu
logy of the anarchist assassin and talks
of bim as "a brave, good fellow,'' whose
martyrdom, when it comes, will be well
worthy of revenge.
Under this appropriate heading the Tele
phone-Register of McMinnvllle jays: Vn
less our country refuses admission to the
horde of anarchists, socialists, and other
enemies of society who will now be driven
from Kuroe by the various governments,
the United States will be the scene of crimes
similar to the one committed in Lyons,
There must be a limit to the liberties of
men, who, hen given the free exercise of
speech and the expression of thought, com
nit crimes against a government based
upon the greatest good to the largest num
ber. This country has witnessed the assas
sination of two presidents, and In its pres
ent condition, with a party that has Incor
porated in its platform all the ideas of
cranky men in order to add to its strength,
these foreigners will naturally drill to it be
cause of its opposition to the present sys
tem. Unknowingly, Americans, as mem
bers of the populist party, and Interested in
good government, are sowing the seeds of
anarchy, socialism and discontent. Under
our system of government there is no place
for a third parly. Republicans and demo
crats are alike interested in good govern
ment and a continuation of the rights and
liberties decreed to the people by the con
stitution. The parties diller in but the
method of carrying out the spirit of the con
stitution, and would unite as one mass in
opposition to anarchy. There should not
be an atom of sympathy in the heart of the
true American citizen for anarchy, ami he
should most assiduously apply himself to
the extirpation of this most un-American
theory ol the rights of others.
CoMMKNTittu on the governor's perni
cious policy in turning out the inmates of
the pen, the State Journal says: A few
days ago Coventor I'minorcr pardoned out

WHY CHEAP WJIE.1T?
The Toledo Wade, in discussing the
financial depression, says:
It is strange that so many of our farmers
endeavor to find a political reason for the
low price of wheat, instead of informing
themselves on the tacts which govern the
market. How manv ol them know that
Argentina is exporting more wheat to Eu
rope than is the United States not count
ing the flour we semiT Yet it is tact a
stubborn fact, and one which means injury
to our farmers.
ot only has Argentina already sur
passed us as a shipper of wheat to Eu
rope, but she has attained to ber present su
periority so rapidly that if she maintains her
pace we shall be hopelessly left in the rear.
Why is Argentine wbeat preterm! to ours?
Because her finances are so deranged that
she must sell at any sacrifice at any price.
It takes $20,000,000 a year to pay the inter
est on the national debt to foreigners and
ou the English capital Invested in private
enterprises. The depreciation in ber paper
currency aids the export trade, Mid the
farmers of the United States are made to
suffer. As a result, 50 cent whent at Chicago
is among the probabilities.
Ox a of the noted 8ttulebaker brothers
said at Tacoma the other day: "I trained
every one of my children to work, My lxy
I put in the blacksmith shop as a helper
and let him work his way to the front, llu
is now cashier. A more serviceable man I
could hardly find. He neither drinks,
chews nor smokes, nor does he swear. My
wife taught our daughter to do all kinds of
housework. They go Into the kitchen and
put up a meal fit for any taste. They sweep
and straighten up the house generally."
liuln cannot come upon this land as long
as its eople exult patriotism mid labor.
Children thus brought up are fitted to rope
with life no matter in what station their lot
may full,

MINUS AND LOAN AfWGTlATIO'NH,
THE DELAYED MAILS.
In the light of the present difficulties,
when the Canadian Pacific is carrying mails
as usnal, the following from the Victoria
Colonist is not as much of a commendation
for Uncle Barn's mail service as it was at
the time of the flood, when it was written;
We find that Montreal letters and papers
dated the 7th instant were received in Seat
tle on the evening of the 13th. How is it
that a Canadian mail Is received in an Uni
ted States city of the ('oast some days before
it reaches the Canadian cities? We say
nothing about the non-arrival of the mails
that were on the way when the floods first
rendered tbeC. P. R. impassable; but surely
the post office authorities might have be
stirred themselves to have the later mails
forwarded by the first road that was open
It is not pleasant for the inhabitants of
Canadian cities who are put to great lncon
enience for the want of their letters that
are on their way to the Coast to find that
their neighbors of the Sound cities get their
mails from Eastern Canada long before
theirs reach the Coast.
On Monday there was a change in some
of the offices in the court house as a result
of the recent election. Owing to the fact
that most of the officers had served but one
term, and were therefore re-elected, the
changes are fewer than usual. The only
exception to the second term rule which is
usually conceded to officers by the republi
can party, was in the case of the county
judge, against whom there was so much
censure that he was not renominated,
While the Enterprise did not fully agree
with Judge Meldrum in his administration
of the county's aflairs, it appreciated the
fact that be was striving faithfully and con
scientiously to do the business intrusted to
him In such a way as should best promote
the eonnty's good. We believe that his
Ian for the improvement of the county
roads should have had a fuir and impartiul
trial instead of being subject to blind oppo
sition and unjust criticism. Notwithstand
ing the fact that he was turned down in
obedience to this clamor we believe that
time will vet demonstrate that his plan or a
modification of It will yet be found to be the
best for the roads of the county. Mistakes
be doubtless made, but we believe that the
ultimate verdict on bis administration will
be much different from the opposition
which resulted in his retirement, and that
as the result of his policy, especially in road
matters, is felt, he will be com mended.

This is the way the Astoria Budget states
the labor problem which is just now agitat
ing and inconveniencing the public on ac
count of the railroad tieup. It says :
" The right of every man to ' refuse to
work for another for any reason, for the
merest fancy or whim, is absolute, and it
is not only unquestionable, but In the
fullest measure frankly conceded. The
right, however, of every man to employ
whom it pleases him to employ, or the
right of any man to work forany one whom
he pleases, is unquestionable and should be
as freely conceded. If any person or per
sons should dispute this privilege of the em
ployer to employ w hom he pleases, or of
Abe employe to Work for whom it pleases
The Astoria Budget says that the sensa
tional and rabid sentiments concerning the
assassination of Carnot, in an interview
with Johann Most, the wild-eyed leader
of the New York anarchists, is ample as
surance that the time has arrived when
the strong arm of the law should throt
tle the last one of these long-haired and
murderous devils. It shows a lack of nerve
or something equally as essential on the
part of the government, when bodies of fan
atics, composed of such blood-thirsty fiends
as Most, can openly proclaim their joy at
the cruel murder af the French president,
and advocate that the same methods be em
ployed in the extermination of other ofll
cials."

Tn evils of bad roads are admitted by
everybody. Unfortunately we are unable
to give the necessary data as to the actual
money loss which they entail. This loss
consists in the unnecessary wear and tear of
borses, harness and vehicles, the delays In
getting to market and from place to place,
and the inability to haul more than half
loads; which several Items, It is perhaps
entirely safe to say, aggregate every year a
sum amply sufficient to pay the annual in
terest on a loan of money that would suffice
to put all the public roads of the country in
a first-class condition for fifty years to come.
Commissions!! Eaib closes a four years
term of office as county commissioner
with credit to himself. He has essayed no
brilliant methods but has sought by pains
taking business methods to do hla work
well, and be leaves the office pretty gen
erally esteemed by the people of the county.
