We mourn a good and great president who ia dead; but while we mourn we are lifted np by the aplendid achieve ment of bit life and the grand heroism with which be met bit death. When we turn from the man to the nation, the harm done it to great aa to ton, apologises for crime or excites aimless discontent. The anarchist, and especially the anarchist in the United Butee, It merely one type of criminal, more dangerous thau any other because he represents the same depravity in a greater degree. The man who advocates anarchy direct ly or indirectly in any shape or fashion or the man who apologizes for anarchists and their deeds, makes himself niotully accessory to murder before the fact. The anarchist it a criminal whose per verted instincts lo.id him to prefer con fusion and chaos to the most beneficent form of social order. His protest ol con- excite our gravest tpprebensiont and to demand our wisest and most resolute, cern for workingmen Is outrageous in itt action. This criminal was a professed impudent falsity : fdr II the political in anarchist, inflamed by the teachings of professed anarchists, and probably also by tbe reckless utterances of those who, on the ttump and in the public preas, appeal to tbe dark and evil apirita of malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred. Tbe wind it sowed by the men who preach such doctrines, and they cannot escape there share of responsibility lor tbe whirlwind that is reaped. This applies alike to the de liberate demagogue, to the exploiter ol sensationalism, and to the crude and foolish visionary who lor whatever ret- FIRST NATIONAL BAITK OP SOUTHERN OREGON.

The an archist is everywhere not merely the ne my ,o( system and of progress, but the deadly foe ot liberty. If ever an- rchy is triumphant, its triumph will last for but one red moment, to be suc ceeded ior sges by the gloomy night ol despotism. For the anarchist himself, whether he preaches or practices his doctrines, we need not have one particle more con cern than for any ordinary murderer He is not the victim of social or political injustice. There are no wrongs to remedy in his rase. The cause of his criminality is to bo found in his own vil passions and in the evil conduct of those who urge hiin on, not in any failure by others or by the stale to do justice to him or his. He is a male factor and nothing else. lie is in uo sense, in no shape or way a "product of social conditions," save as a highway man is "produced" by the lact that an unarmed man happens to have a purso. It is a travesty upou the groat and holy nsniee of liberty and (reedSin to permit them to be invoked in such a cause. No man or body of men preaching anarchistic doctrines should be allowed at largo any more than if preaching the murder of some specified private in dividual.. Anarchistic speeches, writ ings, and meetings are essentially seditious and treasonable. 1 earnestly recommend to the con gress that in the exercise ol its wise discretion it should take Into considera tion the coming to this country of an archists or persons professing principles hostile to all government and justifying the murder ol those placed in authority. Such individuals as those who not long ago gathered in open meeting to glorify the murder of King Humbert of Italy perpetrate a crimo, and the law should Insure their vigorous punishment. They and those like them should be kept, out of this country; and II found here they should he promptly deported to the country whence they came; ai.d far reaching provision should he made for the punishment of those who stay No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the congress. The federal courts should be gtvm jurisdiction ovur any man who kills attempts to kill the president or any man who by the constitiun or by law is in line of succession lor tho presidency, w hile the punishment for an utmicceas lul attempt should be proportioned to the enormity o the offense against ou institutions. Anarchy is a crime agaiiiHt the whole human race, and all mankind should band against the anarchist. Hit crime should be made an offense against thi law of nations, like piracy and that form of man-stealiug known as the slave trade; for it is of far blacker infamy than either. It should bo to declared by treaties among all civilised powers Such treaties would aive to the federal govermeut the power of dealing with the crime. liriin coiniueiitai v upon tho fully of the anarchist position was allurded by tue attitude o( the law toward the viry criminal who had just taken the life oi the president. The people would -have torn him limb from limb if it had not been lor the law he defied was at once invoked in bis behalf.
