with the eldoiRc.
The trial of Colgos a ionpk li

nnd clo-o at hand; and thcreloio lu
not eery Instance would It be possible,
though It wcic ileshed, to ptoceed with
filch swift (lhectness to the ttlal ot
the Ishiie. Uut in eveiy cause at law,
whether In tlie civil or In the cilnilunl
blanch, It should equally be the earn
est ptitpohc of the bench and counsel
lo expedite justice.
In those las ol coiiscicace-soaich-lug.
when eveiy elfoit is being made
by an moused public opinion to locate
the souk o.s of the diseased condition ot
our public life that dlselo-.es itself in
such n, ciimo as president-minder,
sight must not be lost of tlie i out I
butlons to anaichy and loiitcmpt foi
law , which some of can cants have
made, ami which a tendency among
many of our lawois to hiie theli tal

lucked, but If mi thing has inn cased
When legal piocedure Is used lo shield

Journalism Is not the onlv Held of
human activity that has ollo sttenks
In It. Its vellounesK Is vividly appai

attorney who Is willing to lend his tal

Into pin tni' i ship with piofesslonul evil
doing does his part, likewise, in diiv
Ipg wuik-nilntled unfoi tunnies to vio

tiy Is emplo)ed in constructing loop
boles in the statute Is no better.
The fact th it our courts can upon
Bieal piotnptltig move piomptly nnd
unerringly Is valuable as a outlast
wltli the tedious delays so often en

Is an Ideal towaid which Aineiiean

n document full of proiltublo instruc

shows that honor is almost as rato

ly Is among thieves. Most of Mr.
Hhnffer'H colleagues In the profession
of labor generalship gave him nil
Jklnds of assurances of support nnd
dropped him like u hot potato the mo
ment ho got Into trouble.
Thcro was one exception John
Iltchell. Ho, Mr. Shaffer tells us, In
quired carefully Into tho Amalgamated
strike "and mated that If wo would
present a proposition, which ho out
lined .ho, would demand acceptanco by
tho Hunt, or call out tho miners."

posed by those who aie opposed to
tightening the bats, as well as by some
who want something done but don't
know just what. To this latter class
belongs the lloehesti'i-Poot i:picss, n
good but llnnlekv paper, which, lu n
comment upon Mr. Powdoib's sugges
tion, .S.tS.
"The proposed plan assumes that all
iuimigtants aie pilni.i facie ctlniinals,
it piovldes also that tbey must be
subjected to tlie llei tlllion stem of

watched for live jc.ns. What seir-ie-spec
ting immlgiaut, or what poison
w oi th of hemming a citizen ot the
United States would submit to any
such disgraceful assumption'.' Imag
ine, too, what a coips of btutauciats
would be it'tiulied to keep 'ttack of
the hundieds of thousands of linml

plan assumes that all inmilgiaiits aie
pilma lacle ciluilnals. It assumes
meiely that tlie United States has long
enough taken In all who otfei them
selves and should now begin to exhibit n
tntioual nieusuie of dlscilmatiou. No
foreigner has any lived light to enter
Ainetita. He comes tliiough toleiauce.
That being 1 1 tie. it is within our pio
lnce to define the tonus upon which
he shall ontei. liecauso people lock
their doois at night does: not assume
that all other people nte btuglais, It
simplv lecognizes the existence of
enough Inn gluts tu make It woith wlillo
to be fateful.
Many leasons aside fioni the luoblem
of nnaielilsm call for suivolllance of
liumigiants. When u man Is taken into
any of those i lunches which have a pe
llod of pioliatlon lie is watclied, to see
how he behaves. And ptopetly. The
ihutch does not want to take into its
fold one who would disci edit It. When
a man Is einplocd In any business on
trial, he Is watched, to see If he will
till the bill. This does not shame him
nor oftend him, and It In what he ex
pects. The Immlgiaut Is not a citi
zen but a piobatlouei. We may want
to keep him and tonvoit him into a
litleii, and we may not. Simply Ki
ting1 in eveiybody who wants to come

Just ns soon as they have lived beio
the nocessaiy llvoyeais, unconcernedly
clothing them lu tho complete gaib of

have caused enough of mischief in this
republic. It Is time to stop that cup.

of common sense.

The Limits of Criticism.
(riom the New cuk Ttllniiii 1
INCU TIIU nssasslnatlon of
Piesldcnt McKlnley u few
apologists tor tho indecent
abuse to which ho was sub
Jectocl have come forwiud in ciitlclsm
of the almost unlveisal loellng that
tho vet bal anil pictotiul repi osculation
of tho president as a scoundiel, a
niutderer, an opptcs-sor of tho poor nnd
a tool of tt lists far transcended tho
limits of legitimate opposition, and
tended to piovoko Insane passions nnd
violence. Jt la snld thnt tho present
Indignation against reckless vilifica
tion ot public men Is Irrational, and
that the peoplo In their ptosent mood,
sttlvlng to put down uuntchy and In
citements to anarchy, would ovettuin
tho safeguards of llbeity nnd fieo gov
ernment. Full fieedom of public
crltlcifin, wo aro told, must bo pic
served, nnd tho infoienco is that a
publlu sentiment which foihudc such
ubuso as Piesldcnt McKlnley wui
s
anbjii'teil to would result lu u muzzled
press and ptatfotiu. Hut has liberty
become llicnseV Is the art of effective
but decent opposition entirely lost?
lluvo oiutors nnd odlloiv no longer the
clovoriievB or power to mouse Interest
or cm try conviction without resort to
billingsgate ami icckless falsehood,
such as once wete legarded ns marks
of weakness In argument lather than
of stiongth? Have the people so de
generated that sane reasoiiluc no lon
ger Inlluenecs thetu. and tlint the only
lesouice of those who would not see
them sink Into apathy and slavery la
violent language and appeals to pie
Juilhe? Of coin so, the ficodotii of discussion
must bo preserved. Constitutions
guarantee free speech nnd a fieo
ptess, but always subject to responsi
bility for nbue of those lights. Hut
Is the lino between the rights nnd
their abuse strictly enough drawn, and,
also. Is evident tiansgtoHsIng over the
line, no matter how loosely drawn,
punished by law or public; opinion as
It should be? Theie can bo no ques
Hon of the right of n citizen to criti
cise! tho ptcsldont's policies most se
verely. Tor instance, Senator 1 loin's
loinaik that the subjugation of tho
1'hlllpplneH meant "the nb mdonmeiit
of the pilneiples upon which our gov
ernment Is founded, nnd It will change
our republic into an nnplie," wus
within the limits of legitimate ciltl-
clsm. It was one iew of the ten
dency of a public policy. Another ora
tor, wlio, because the pi evident carried
out that policy, talked about "McKln
lev, with his wicked and cowardly
heart, l .vising b.s bloodstained bands
to heaven in hypociltlcal pi.ijer."
tiansccnded those limits and de
scended rot only to peisonul abuse,
but to unpatilotlc attack upon author
It. It Is one thing to disapprove a
war, (pilte another to call the ofllcliil.s
who pcrfoim their duties at the head
of a nation's nnnies thlevow and mur-
deieis.
Likewise. It Is perfectly logitlninlo
for those who think that tho ndminls
tiatlon's policy favors certain llnan
eleis to point out tho grounds of that
belief, but It Is not legitimate daily
to hold up to tho balled of the Ignor
ant tho picsldeiit ot the United States
as the contemptible tool ot lepulslvo
villains, engaged In linaglniiiy atroci
ties. Saicasin, ildleule and denuncia
tion aie nil pioper Instiumonts of poli
tical opposition, but those who use
them sue. mm ally bound to use them
with a duo sense of losponMbtllty and
a tine legal d for tiutli, and not to
call an otllelal n scoundiel lu moio
piojudlce, confessedly -without facts
lo waitant such a conclusion. The
aits of a public oflleial ate always
subject to moio llgld seiiltlny and
shaipcr ciltltlsni than those or a pil
vato Individual, but a lie about him is)
just as much a lie as one about any
body edso, and Is abuse of tho Heodom
or .speech and the pioss. If we ever
have a piesldcnt oi a cltv otllelal who
Is a inuideiei, let us know tho tacts,
and call him one by all means. If we
llml that he steals, let us epoe tho
lasc.tllty. Hut let not an otllelal be
called a mill dot or or a thief Just us
,i Incident to Intempeiato opposition
to bis public polle. lie ought to bo
piotecled ltom such outtnfcoous libels
iu well ns anv other man.
A public olllcer can liaidly look to
the law lor such piotectlon without
seeming to Intel lore with fieo speech,
though even 111 this fieo countiy ofll
eots have not touted to call to account
In couit those who peij-onally slan
detcd theui. He ought, hovvovet, to be
pioteclf'd b.v public opinion ft owning
on unbridled political bitterness. Ai
wa s after a polled of such bitterness
the people c ome to see its Injustlc e and
to i egret it. The hotheads who abused
Washington and giavelv charged that
he was suuendeilng our liberties to
l'.ngland. might have known then that
tbey weio wiong ns well ns a doen
cus later, and have based their op
position to his policy on appeals to
icasoii and not to ignoiant prejudice.
So, too, thos? who (hinged Piesldent
McKlnley witli hideous ci lines liuvo al
ready found out their enor. and somo
of thoin havo relucted. How much
bettor the would lool today If they
had nnver wilttcn those eises, never
pletuied hlni as a tool ot mists, never
called hlni n iiiuidoiei!
Political life does not depend for Its
Heodom on license tor .such libels.
They nte meiely the mink of low civil
isation nnd Inability to deal with pub
lie questions with f-eiiousness, sobiiety
and logaid for the decencies, of life.
Instead of holding to such abuses as
lnstuitnents of fie? discussion, our
people should fluui them, so that poli
tic al (ontioveisy may be made to deal
wllh laets and in bo decided by lea
sou. Then to call all nflldal a mill -deter
will ni'Mii that ho is one, and
peoplo will stop to consider such a
e lunge. Now such awful epithets aie
Hung about so fieely that no attention
l.s paid to the nlitiso by sano people,
and a wicked olllcial lests secuio in his
wickedness ft out their action, whllei
the honest man may fall a victim to
the msiiiiectcd passions ot tho cilnil
n.il or nank.
Mr. Shaffer Is prepnipd to attest that
lu limine lug a big sttlko kind) wotds

Tho opinion scorns to ho growing that
tho anarchist needs a eloso of his own
medicine.
