IZIkin's Candidacy Launched.
TTHK ACTION of the Indiana
Q county Itepubllctins In for-
fl mnlly presenting Attorney
Ccneral Klkln as u cundldale
for the Itt'publlcan nomination for
frovcrnor of I'ennsylvanlp, coupled with
the generally recognized strong proli
nblllty that this candidacy will be suc
cessful, Invests with new inteiest the
facts In Mr. Klklu's career.
John 1 Elkln was born on Jan. 11,
1SG0, on a farm In West Mahoning
township, Indiana county, Pa. lie re
ceived his rudimentary education In
the common schools of that county.
"While he was a lad of 12 years, his
father organized the first industry to
manufacture tin plate In this country.
The corporation organized by him was
known as the American Tin-Plate com
pany and was located In Wellsville,
Ohio. The panic of 1ST3 having proved
disastrous to the enterprise, young
I'lkin was compelled to get employ
ment In the Iron mills which his father
had erected. For almost two years he
worked at manual labor as a mill
hand. During all this time he spent
his nights In study, and supplemented
his studies by a course in the high
school of VolIsvllle. from which he
was graduated In his llfteenlh year.
He then leturned to his native county
In this state and began his career in
public life as a teacher In the common
schools. He taught his first school be
fore ho was 10 years of age. He con
tinued teaching during the winter and
attending school In the summer for five
years, at which time ho was graduated
from the Indiana State Normal school
of Pennsylvania. After his graduation
from the Normal school he was select
ed as professor of an academy and
spent one year and a half in giving
instruction in academic work.
At the end of this time, with the
money ho had saved as n school teach
er, supplemented by that which he was
able to borrow fiom a good friend, giv
ing as security his life insurance pol
icy, lie entered the I'liiverslty of Mleh
Is.m. In his class at the university
were 12ft young men gatheied together
from 17 stales and three territories,
and hence it was no small honor to
have cairled olf lite honors of his class
as he did. CliYiduutlng at the head of
his class he was selected commence
ment orator as a mark of college dis
tinction. While yet a student and
prior to Ills giadtmilon at the univer
sity, his friends announced his name
as a candidate for the legislature In
Indiana county. He conducted his
campaign while pursuing his studies at
the university, by writing letters to
his constituents. The primaries wove
held a Tew days after his return from
Michigan. He was nominated by pop
ular vote at the primaries by the lar
gest majority ever given a candidate
in his county up to that time.
lie came Into the legislature of 1SS5
as the baby member. He was returned
by his constituents to the session of
1S87 by an Increased majority. lie
took an active and leading part In the
legislation of that session. In 1SSS ho
was elected as a delegato to the state
convention. In 1S90 he was again elect
ed ns a delegato to the state conven
tion In ono of the most hotly contested
campaigns that has ever been waged
liUils county. In l&at he was tho per
manent chairman of the state conven
tion that nominated Gregg and Mor
tlson for auditor-general and state
treasurer, in 1S93 ho was appointed
deputy attorney general, In which cap
acity hu served for nearly three years
when he resigned. In IS'JO ha was
elected delegato to tho national con
vention In the Twenty-first congres
sionul district. After the nomination
of. McKluley and his return from St.
l.ouls, ho was elected chairman of tho
ItPpubllcan state committee apd or
ganized what has been regarded as tho
most successful campaign ever waged
lit tills state. Through his leadership
MeTCInleJ' received 300,000 plurality In
PfjantJyunla, This s the largest plu
rality" that was over recorded for u
presidential candidate In this or any
other state, since tho formation of our
government. He was unanimously re
elepted chairman In 1837, during which
year there was a, great deal of faction
al feeling and party strife. Yet ho
succeeded In marehulllug the Republi
can forces In such u manner as to
elect tho sttato ticket by u pronounced
plurality. Ills work was so satisfac
tory to the Republicans of the slut';
tlinJe wus unanimously re-elected
t'lmirninn In tSOS. Governor Stone ap
pointed htm attorney general In the
winter of that year and his political
career since Is well known,
In u business way Mr, Klkln has
been the architect of his own fortune.
He Is Identified with many of the im
portant Industilcs of Ids county. While
In the prime of young manhood he was
elected president of the Fanners' .bank,
one of tile leading financial Institu
tions of tho town In which he lives,
tie served In tills capacity until his
public dtitlrs called him from home.
Ho has taken an nctlvc part In devel
oping the resources of his county and
was one of the original promoters of the
Clearfield and Cush Creek Coal com
pany, which Is operating In the north
ern part of Indiana county, lie Is ulso
Interested In the glass Industry. Ills
business Instincts have proved good.
Though not wealthy he Is well to do.
As u member of the bar ho has been
eminently successful. He was admit
ted to the Indiana county bar In 1S85,
having studied law while a student at
the university, and afterwards com
pleting his legal studies In a law olllce
at Indiana. He made rapid progress
In the practice of this profession from
the very day of his admission to tho
bur. He Is a strong and eloquent
pleader and a conscientious counselor.
As deputy attorney general ho gave
much time and attention to the study
of the levenue system of our own and
other states, and is considered an nu
t.Vu'ity on all matters of taxation. He
'parcd and argued many of the lead
ing cases in which the commonwealth
was Interested, In the courts of Dauph
in county, the Supreme court of the
state and the Circuit and Supremo
courts of the fulled States. One of
the leading cases during his term as
deputy attorney general wus the at
tempt made by certain banking Insti
tutions to evade taxation by having
the act of lS'Jl declared unconstitution
al. This case was taken through four
diffeient courts and finally reached the
Supreme court of the Hnlted States.
He nrgued and won this case In every
court. He has been associate counsel
In most of the important state cases
bearing on taxation dining the past
few years. He has n keen and logical
mind, is quick to grasp the points in
n case and is able to do a great deal
of woik in uAihort time.
Soon after his graduating from the
I'liiverslty of Michigan, Mr. Klkln was
united in marriage with Adda P., the
daughter of John Prothero, president
of the First National bank of Indiana
and one of Its leading citizens. His
family consists of two daughters and
an Infant son. Ills home life is charm
ingly domestic.
In disposition Mr. Klkln Is peiennial
ly genial and hopeful. He has passed
through some hot political battles but
there is no record of his having lost
his temper or his self-possession, His
bitterest opponents in the warfare of
politics are among his warmest per
sonal friends. He treasures no resent
ments and Is open-hearted to a fault.
His loyalty has become a. proverb and
his ability is nowhere disputed. The
outcry against him Is wholly political
and more especially factional. No
doubt It would be heard against any
man piominently identified with the
Stalwart faction
According to reports the Philadelphia
Democrats are again harmonious. Har
mony will doubtless reign In the ranks
so long as theie are no fish to stilng.
Gunning for Anarchists.
BILL for the extirpation of
anarchy has been drafted by
the United States attorney
general's office, and In the
language of the street It is u "corker."
It punishes with death any one who
kills the president of the United States,
or any one in line of succession to that
office. An assault with intent to kill or
injure Is punished by death, or by Im
prisonment not less than ten years, at
the dh-cretiou of the court. Any one
who aids, abets, counsels, advises, or
Instigates another to commit either of
said crimes is punishable as If ho were
the principal offender. Accessories after
the fact are punished by Imprison
ment of not more than ten years. To
justify openly nnd deliberately any of
these crimes by spoken or written lan
guage Is punishable by Imprisonment
not exceeding five years; the advocacy
by woid of mouth or printed matter of
the doctilnes of criminal anarchy, by
which term Is meant the movement to
destroy government by violence, is to;
be punished by Imprisonment of not
more than ten years, and this punish
ment applies to anyone "who aids,
abets, or countenances trueh advocacy."
Conspiracy to kill the ruler of any
other nation with which the. United
States Is at peace, is punishable by
death, If the conspiracy has been suc
cessful, and by Imprisonment of not
less than ten years If unsuccessful. The
doctrine that organized governments
ought to ba destroyed by violent and
unlawful means Is declared to be un
lawful, Its advocacy Is made a crime,
and a punishment Is provided for any
one who organizes or helps to organize
or becomes a member or voluntarily
assembles with any society, kiouji or
'assembly of persons who arc formed to
teach such doctrines, It Is made a
crime for anyone owning property la
permit nuaichlstlo groups to meet or
assemble In any building or mom
owned by him, Any person convicted
of uny of the preceding orfences Is
made Ineligible thereafter for any olllce
or placo of honor, and If a uaturullml
citizen his certlllcate of naturalization
Is to bo revoked, and after the expir
ation of his term of Imprisonment he is
to be deported to the country whence
he came or to tho country of his nativ
ity or former allegiance, and anyone
found In this country after such de
portatlou shall be punished by Im
prisonment not exceeding live years.
The bill also provides for tho coullsca
tlon of anarchistic literature ami Its
exclusion from the malls.
Little has to be added to such a
mcusure by way-of comment. U seems
to coer the whole gtouiul, bo far us
overt acts are concerned. What It
omits to cover In wuy of prevention of
the causes and bpicad of anarchism Is
well comprehended within the timely
address of Hon. James M. Heck, assist
ant attorney general of the United
States, delivered yesterday ut Albany
A
before the New York Slnte liar asso
ciation and reported with substantial
fulness elsewhere.
A bill has very properly been Intro
duced In the legislature at Albany to
place pcrsoim who engage In llckct
sculplng under bonds of sulllclent sum
to prevent the scalping of purchasers.
Doubts are still expressed at Wash
ington ns to whether the naval buttle
near Colon was of "the sad but glori
ous" order, or simply the distorted vis
Ion of the war cot respondent.
If cannot be said that we are un
friendly to Germany if congress ap
propriates the necessary cash to give
Prince Henry a $10,000 "blow-out" on
his arrival In America.
Tho pope's health seems to be excel
lent, but press correspondents In his
vicinity are still Inclined to bo feverish.

If a doubt cM, the admirable Mtssction con
tained in the recent me.s-.aKo of Picddcnt Noose
clt would i.eom to obviate any difficulty. He

ftlpulalins for co-ontralhc action in the nip
pictsiini of annuity, would c'-ie the federal gov

llicm.
Means to Be Taken.
The itipprcwlon of ntuichy, lion pier, U not
to inuili .1 question of power as of means. Con-Bin-,
has now under tonsidciatioii a number of
bills wilh thii end In liew. and will doubtless,
accomplish, as a icoult of tho public disunion,
something that Is eflieicnt and peimaticnt in
character. 'I he lalue of tiiesa laws can be nie.is
uied by the possibility that the late piesident
would ncier luie been assassinated had the
Goldman woman been depoited ten lears ago,
as she could h.ne been under Senator Hill's bill,
to which allusion lias been made, for it wot
Knwiii (iuhlniJii, aieoiding to tVolgos, who
find him to do the fatal deed. The execution
nf the law, houeirr, will be cscrciliniily difficult
except in the caos of avowed and Known an
aichisls. To exclude Chinamen, whoo lacial
status is (stamped upon their ery faces, has been
found to be a task of immense difficulty, llo-v
much more difficult must lie the exclusion ot
men, whose offense is a stale of mind, of which
theie is, and can lie, no Miperlleial eiidenc, ex
cept their oluntaiy acts and declarations!
The solution of Ibis question must, In the list
anal.i-.i-, ret with t lie detecliie rather than with
the legislator, l'lcientive inentincs of an ad
mliiMiatiic chaiactcr will be found the m.i-t ef
ficacious, and an Indl-pensabie featiuc lnu-l be
international lo-opeiatlnn. As lontf as these
aiowed enemies of all goieinmenta and of all
society can hnil a le-ting phu-e in uny one, th-y
will be, ill tlie-e uajs of telegiapli and the
steamship, a mcance to all.
A lit.il need i" to lniieaso both the elite leney
and the poweis of our fceeict ferilce. Par from
dcscuing the aihne critici-m to which it las.
icccntly been subjected, tills diiision of the
tieisiny depaitmcnt, as I li.ni- some personal
leason for Knowing, is an .idmii.ihle body of men
and at its head is a detect lie of i-M-cpli mil
ability and comaae. Xeier in its hlstoiy lias it
done moie i.iluahlc wot I. than under Chief Wll
Mo. Hut the limitations of Ids Imicati aie that
its only funds consW of an aniiuil appropiiatbn
of $.100,000, and this, by the terms of the appro
pililion, is eonllned to the detection of counter
feiting. Not only is it without any means to de
fend the life of the piesldent, but it is equally
without legal power. It U a fact that not one
cent has eier been (.petlnc-ally appioprlated for
the protection of the president, nnd the seiiiees
of the Fecret sen Ice haic hllheito been an ac
commodation, fiom a legal standpoint, on their
put. The funds at their dis-iosil are absurdly
inadequate when it is iccalled that the fcenlce
is obliged to pioleet the piulty of tho coin in n
country as gieat in ate-a and population ns ouis.
In tuy judgment this diiision shou'd be giien
at least ifi.'iO.OOO a ear in oidcr that its t'oic-o
may lie hugely Incicascd and the ery best do-ti-tltiti
talent employed. It i-hould hive its op-ointlu-s
In each of the Kuropeau capitals nnd tlia
means to exchange infoimalion with other police
authorities thiotighout the countiy and the world.
The problem Is loo seilous to debate e.ier dollars
and cents. It Is not enough In pimMi when the
crime lias been committed; Hie public demands
pretention rather thin punUluuent.
Our iionulatlon has become m heterogenous,
and tlieie nro mi many now living in our midst
who aie alien In (.eullment, that the simplicity
ot democratic elajs in nubile ceremonials can not
but be attended with m.inlfet danger. The life
ot the pie-sident Is of ltal iiitcu-st to (lie III
(Ion, niul idiould not be unnecessarily put to the
peiil ot assassination. Indeed, olher con.sldera
llont equally demand that the time and httcnutli
of the president should not bo needlessly eon
sinned by unnecessary calls upon his time. Only

How tlte People Can Aid.
Let me mage-t, In conclusion, that tho people
can aid in the prolcctlon ol their president by
gltlng- to Ids high office (lie ropect which Is
Its Just due. It Is the mhforlune of our po
litical ostein tti.it the prenlelent Is not oboie
nnd apart fiom p.itly politics ns Is Hie l'reii'-li
chief magistrate, or the llnglMi vontllutloiial
ruler, but Ii a pnty leaeler, unit therefore the
storm center of all our iiotltlr.il conlllctj, about
whoe bend play the fatelul lightning ol po
litical passion, llnrely has any president escaped
Fciirrllous crltlclMii and foul abuse! nnd no one
ran measure wlnt Inllueiice the public ab'Ke
nl Lincoln, (larflcld, and McKluley had In tho
death of each. Uod forbid that 1 should nih il
ea I c, in any way, ttic abridgement nl the right of
free speech or a free pre. The genius of our
dee Institutions requires that discussion be tiee.
If a cltl;en bo honestly ol opinion that the
president seeks to subiert (lie llbeitles o( ids
country, It Is not only his prlillego but Ids duty
to My no. We lute no pi ice In our political
Institutions lor the tii.nlm, "Hie king ran do no
wrong," and the oil at anointing, which was
supposed to consecrate the monarch, has not
(alien Mm his head to gltc any peculiar sane
lily lo Hie choice ot the people. As any other
public servant, the piesident must glic an tic
eoiiiit o( his slcivnrdslilii, nnd the manner in
wldeli lie lias discharged Ids trust must of ne
cessity In a free country lie the subject of fair
ill.sctis.slon. Put there is n clear line between
ultlclsiii and insult. 'J lie luv may not be able
to diaw- It, but men ot gentlemanly and patri
otic instincts can not fall to see it. The man
who publicly degrades the peisonality cif the
president and weakens respect for his high of
fice makes assassination possible. 11 this lesson
can be learned by the? American people, the msr
l.neel McKluley will not have died In lain. Let
men o( ctery pally honor the dead piesident by
respecting tho living.
