N his speech against the feature of the immigration l bill to prohibit the immigration of anarchists and nihilists to this country, Maguire said: “Who are the nihilis They are the Democrats of | Russia, who are struggling' against almost hopeless | 0dds to establish the natural and inalienable rights of | man in that country. “Who are the anarchists of Spain? They are the Republicans of that country, seeking to establish the principle of popular sovereignty as against the un- | natural privilege of governing now enjoyed by a single family. “Who are the socialists of Germany? They are the opponents of monarchical government and special | privilege—the advocates of the equal rights of man. ! I believe their schemes of social regeneration to be | impracticable and mistaken, but their purpose is right | and their cause should be sacred to every lover of | liberty and justice.” | It will be noted that he took pains to declare his | cpposition to the schemes of the socialists, only, and | bad no principles to state in opposition to the nihil- | ists and anarchists. The socialists proceed by peace- being practical non-resistants. Maguire’s defender and supporter, Mr. Preble of | “Every syllable of that speech should be indorsed by enlightened citizens who believe in the great demo- cratic principle of political equality and freedom. * * Anarchism is no more a menace to civilization than any other line of philosophical reasoning.” In our comments on this defense of Maguire’s defense of anarchy, we said that neither Maguire nor Preble could be in the dark as to the purposes and methods of anarchy. It is opposition to all government and its institutions defensive of life and property. three years ago Karl Marx and Bakounin, the founder of anarchy, disputed as to the nature of their creed. Out of this contention issued a plat- form or declaration of principles which remains to this dhy unchanged as statement of the purpose and method of anarchy. That plat- Pform declared war against capital, abolition of the state and all government and authority whatso- | | ever, dynastic as in monarchies and temporary as in | It closed by crystallizing the whole creed “Do as you wish,” and thing is everybody’s.” Soon aiter this declaration | Nicolaus Bakounin, who was a Russian, educated | at the St. Petersburg School of Cadets, died, July 1, | 1876. | He was succeeded in the chieftainship of the an- | archists by Elisee Reclus, who, with Paul Brousse | and other anarchists, met at Bakounin's grave and ed his biography, which had an immense Europe republics. i into two phr: “every- | to furnish a receipt, that the receipt was not good un- ful means, and are even opposed to war for any cause, |- | Oakland, whose letter we published last week, said: | Twenty- | FOR MR. VALENTINE'S PERUSAL. ERHAPS President Valentine of the Wells- p Fargo Express has overlooked the opinion | coming from the Circuit Court of Wayne | County, Mich. It is a pleasing duty to spread it be- fore him and call his distinguished attention to it. | This decision, quoted in full in another column, covers exactly the points raised by the Wells-Fargo | concern, and in distinct terms overthrows each one of | them. It would appear that the American Company is of a piece with the local corporation in that both endeavored to escape payment of the war revenue tax, and to make their customers pay it for them. The company’s defense was technical, striving to set aside consideration of the merits of the case, and pleading non-jurisdiction. The technicality, however, was swept aside by a few drds, and briefly and tersely the court showed the folly of the opposing conten- tions. The Judge said that the company was bound less there was attached to it a revenue stamp, The obligation of the company to supply the stamp thus became clear, as the law would hardly demand of it | the formality of furnishing a worthless receipt. Raising rates so as to cover the cost of the stamp was denounced as an illegal subterfuge designed for | shifting the burden to the customers, whereas it be- longed to the company. The law quoted is the same | | as has heretofore been printed in these columns for | the enlightenment of the Valentine intelligence. It is so plain as to be subject only to the construction given it. Finally, the opinion sets forth the difference between a transaction in which private parties are rned and one in which a party is a common car- There does not appear to be anywhere a crumb | of comfort for Valentine. The American Company | was ordered by a writ of mandamus to do as expected ! of it, to receive packages and forward them at the regular rate, putting on each receipt the necessary | stamp. | | conce: | | rier. | At a Congress of Trades, held in Berne not long rlo Cafiero and Enrico Malatesta, Italian | ndulged in the most extravagant praises of | notably on the same lines as Maguire's | speech in Congress, and for the first time declared | deed” in these terms: “The | the “propaganda by | Italian federation believes that insurrection destined | up against another. to confirm by deeds the anarchistic principles is the | means of effacacious propaganda.” Then riot | Cafiero led a riot in Bene- | icial archives and looted the | among them- assination began. nto, burned the treasury, dividing the public money selves. A month later the Anarchist Congress met at Ver- viers, where Krapotkine first appeared as an anar- | chist under the name of Levachot. In 1878 Brousse | nd Krapotkine issued the anarchist paper, “L’Avant | ,d Hoedel proclaimed anarchy in Germany i and Passamenti attempted to assassinate King of Spain and of Ttaly, respectively. At the second Anarchist Congress at Freiburg Re- clus submitted this platform, which was adopted: “First—Collective appropriation of social wealth. “Second—Abolition of government in all its forms. “Third—Propaganda by theory. “Fourth—Action by riot and revolution. “Fifth—Abandonment of the idea that sovereignty of the people may be expected by the ballot.” “L’Avant Garde” was suppressed and Herzig be- gan the publication of “Le Revolte,” at Geneva, for which Krapotkine wrote. He also lectured on the principles of anarchy, and at Marseilles preached “propaganda by deed,” the anarchist euphemism for assassination, and organized a convention which pro- claimed the confiscation, by expropriation, of all land and capital, without indemnity or compensation to the owners. Otero Gonzales went from this conven- tion to his attempt to assassinate the King of Spain. In 1881 anarchist delegates went from all over | Europe to a convention of the Workingmen's party at Paris, and bolted in anger when it refused to in- dorse anarchy. Krapotkine was then driven out of Switzerland, and, with Francis Guy, traveled over France, exciting | disorders. Since then their followers have murdered | the President of the French republic, thrown bombs in the French Assembly, murdered the police in Hay- market square, Chicago, threw a bomb in the Cafe Foyot, Paris, killed many people in trying to assas- sinate the Prefect of Barcelona, Spain, and murdered many with bombs in the Cafe Terminus, in Paris, and assassinated Castillo del Canovas and the Empress of Austria. Justus Schwab and Herr Most are the anarchist leaders in the United States. They are saloon-keep- ers, and Most for a long time edited an anarchist paper, the “Freiheit,” in Brooklyn, N. Y., in which | he urged editorially the use of the knife in assassina- tion, because only a.crack shot could kill with a pistol! For a long time the motto at the head of his paper was “Long live the torch and the bomb.” The above is an incomplete list of anarchist assas- sinations, but it is a complete and authentic state- ment of anarchist principles from their official declar- ations: “Do as you wish.” “Everything is everybody's.” “Down with government ard authority in all its forms.” These are the men Judge Maguire defended as praiseworthy patriots and worthy immigrants to this country, saying he hoped “the time will never come when they will be denied asylum in the land of the free heart’s hope and home.” These are the principles which Mr. Preble says were the same as “Paine and Jefferson, Lincoln and Henry George, stood for in the onward march of human progress.” Since the supporters of Judge Maguire have a; | | The present would seem to be a good time for Val- | entine to repent. Writs of mandamus are possible | | here. There is also a likelihood that damage suits | will be filed in large number, for the one thus far tested has been decided adversely to Wells-Fargo. For Mr. Valentine to obey the law would certainly be the part of wisdom. WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? UDGE MAGUIRE says that he will not be di- | QJ verted from the issues of the campaign. It will | fill a long felt want if he will take the public | into his confidence in what he considers the issues to | be. In a general way he informs his audiences that | he stands against the aggressions of the corpora- | tions and the rich. If aggressions exist they can be | specified. Let the Judge outline an existing aggres- | sion, state it truthfully and give the remedy that can be provided in his election. If he cannot describe | such existing aggression and prove that it exists and | that it can be stopped by electing him Governor, then his general denunciation of property and those who own it is dangerous demagogy, affecting to see | classes that have no existence and stirring one man | Recently he has begun boasting that he was ap- prenticed to the blacksmith’s trade, and so learned to sympathize with labor. This is demagogic. In this country a vast majority of men lay their keel in | labor in early life, and Jabor has had sympathizers | besides apprentices. One thing is sure, the Judge did nut like work well enough to stick to it, for there is some evidence that he began drawing down an offi- cial salary at 19, and it is certais. that he did very soon after he was 21, and has becn at it ever since, with very slight intermissions. ‘ In regard to his apprenticeship to a trade, it is worth noting that a great man has never been known to advertise such a thing himself. In all the long public career of John Bright he never told an au- dience that he was a cotton-spinner. Stephen A. Douglas never found it necessary to tell that he was a cabinet-maker, nor John M. Palmer that he was a cooper, nor Andrew Johnson t,h::t he was a tailor, nor Henry Wilson that he was a shoemaker, nor Lincoln that he was a rail-splitter and flatboat man, nor Henry Clay that he was a mill boy, nor Joe McDon- ald that he was a harness-maker, because in the use of their genius and talents they impressed themselves upon their age without reference to their early calling, and when their brains had raised them to eminence it was left for others to search out the experiences of their early life and tell it to the world. When a man saves the historian and biographer the trouble by attempting to inflate his personality by weeping over his experiences as a boy, it is rather good evi- dence that he has not the brains and talents to sus- tain himself without demagogy. So far Maguire’s campaign has been entirely de- nunciatory and destructive. He denounces that he would destroy. He runs amuck against property and its owners. But California does not want a destruc- tive policy. This State requires a constructive policy. What will Maguire do, if elected, to relieve the sor- rqws of the poor, which he first heard of while blow- ing a bellows as a blacksmith’s apprentice? Let him be specific and tell what he is going to do. So far he has denounced the funding bill which his friend Senator White helped to draw up and perfect, and which every man of sense admits closes the fund- ing issue favorably to the Government. The people of California want their public affairs controlled by reason and not prejudice. Will Judge Maguire cease exploiting the pleasures of memory and the pleasures of hope, the'memory that he was once an apprentice and the hope that he will be Governor, and talk a little plain reason and common sense? An aged man who had come from the East to marry a “rich widow” who had advertised her yearn- ing for a husband has died in the County Hospital. When the woman learns this she will probably be cheered at the realization that one more witness is out of the way. For it does not appear that she is a model woman. —_— Colonel Hale of the Colorado regiment goes to the trouble to expose a sample Examiner lie. The colonel means well, of course, for he is a gentleman and a soldier, but his effort was hardly necessary. The Examiner lie exposes itself. It invariably sticks out like Bill Nye's sore thumb. —_— If Spain has any intention of keeping Blanco’s army at Havana longer than the Government of the United States stipulates, there are as yet no indica- tions of it. The fact that Correspondent Creelman ad- vances this theory is fairly good proof there is noth- | adopted the followers of Bakounin as their comrades and his principles as theirs, we submit the case to the people of Calfornia to decide. If they think that every man should do as he wishes, that everything is everybody’s, and all land and property should be expropriated without indemnity, they have a chance to say so by indorsing Maguire. Let it be remembered that Mr. Preble defended these views of Maguire, saying, “I regard Judge Ma- guire not alone as my friend, but the friend of all hesitating support.

There is no reasonable chance of a fight between them, and they must smile to note that some people accept their conversational tumult as in some measure genuine. When Candidate Gage speaks of the single tax Democratic papers term the process “harping.” Yet it was on that same old string that Maguire has been playing for years, and he didn't play half so good a tune as Gage does, either. | |DR.

True, but while the fear is but natural that new accessions may finally lead to a confu- sion of “pathies” as disastrous to the building of the Temple of Health as was the confusion of tongues to the building of the tower of Babel, this new “pathy” will have precisely the op- posite effect, for, like Aaron’s rod, it atic attribute of Esculapius, the god of medicine, to look hereafter like a boa constrictor after a full meal. The two best relished dishes of this varied and extensive bill of fare will be homeopa- thy, with her adopted child, allo- pathy, swallowed, like Jonah, twithout shrift or condiment. The indigestibil- ity of a bony dish like osteopathy, or a cold side relish like Christian science— which, by the way, should be called “apathy” instead of a “pathy,” for that is certainly no “pathy” which denies the existence of disease—will be tem- pered by something hot, like electro- pathy, which brings on the one hand financial death in the shape of electric belts and things, and on the other rouses to life the dead, as Lazarus, by sticking electric needles into their hearts, while the whole menu washed down by Father Kneippathy, the newest brand of hydropathy, will constitute a | meal that would make even a boa con- strictor feel tired. This much by way of introduction to kinetopathy, and now to the cultivation of an acquaintance with it, which is quite another story and one that is naturally preceded by the query, ‘What is it? The foundation of kinetopathy is laid upon the causative principle underly- ing therapeutic or curative action. In this it differs from other pathies whi¢h are—every one of them—founded upon the method of that action. The causa- tive principle of curative action is po- tential energy aroused to specific kinetic actlvity, and the practice of kinetopathy consists in the employ- ment of any and every agency compe- tent to arouse, control and direct that activity to the accomplishment of a cure of disease. This gives kinetopathy s0 much resemblance to regular medi- cine that it might be mistaken for it were it not for its great rotundity so necessary to the container of every “‘pathy.” Big pills, little pills, assorted (eclectic) pills, dashes and floods of wetness, currents of electricity, rest for jaw, stomach, brain and limb, laying on of hands—often more like the laying on of an elephant’s foot—spasms of faith and spurts of exercise, all these are more or less seductive sirens seek- ing to lure on curative action, while kinetopathy represents the action itself. A few: illustrations of what kinetic energy may do when misdirected will show only too plainly the necessity of thorough education and training to the kinetopathist before he shall attempt to enter into the practice of his profes- sion. The deadly effect of concentrated prussic acid, which, when placed upon the tongue, kills before it can be swal- lowed; the curare tipped arrqw, which carries almost instant death into the veins through the merest scratch; the lightning flash and the electrocutioner's shock, which kill when they touch; mental emotion that may come like an avalanche to crush the heart walls to- gether, never to expand again—all these are danger signals and effects that cannot be explained except upon the hypothesis of kinetic activity, while at the same time they show the unlim- ited scope and power of that activity which may some day be fully utilized in the cure of disease. Let it be added, in conclusion, that ‘when the first kinetopathic college of medicine shall be established the writer will expect to occupy the chair of pro- fessor of kineotopathy and the office of dean of the faculty, and his first duty shall be to provide a suitable reward of merit to him who shall first discover kinetopathic agents that shall equal in romptness and efficiency the kineto- ethal already known—that is to say, agents that shall cure as quickly and completely as well known agents kill. 0. 0.

DECOTO, Oct. 11.—All was activity and bustle in Decoto to-day. The lit- tle towh is preparing to receive about 15,000 Masons and their families and friends to-morrow, when the handsome new Masonic Widows’ and Orphans' Home will be dedicated with all the pomp and ceremony of the Masonic rites. Two years ago this month the corner stone for the big structure was laid with imposing ceremony and 10,000 visi- tors thronged the town and the hill upon which the home is located. This year the visitors will be more numer- ous and still more extensive ceremonies will take place. Early to-morrow morning the procession will form in San Francisco, and to the music of many bands march to the foot of Mar- ket street and cross by boat to Oak- ]t::id pl::il v;):ere a half dozen special ns i Fhlte o Deco?n.w““n‘ to bring the Upon their arrival the procession will be re-formed and march through a large FOR MASONS. | field to the hill, a half mile distant, where the ceremonies be con- | ducted.

Editor Call: So repeated have been the attacks and misrepresentations of the single tax theory in The Call and other papers of late that, as a member of the Alameda County Single Tax So- ciety, I feel bound to request the liber- ality of your paper to make a few per- tinent propositions. As single taxers many of us regret the action of the Republican party in their State convention in inserting an anti-single tax plank In the State plat- form. Such action will force many single tax Republicans in this election to vote against their own party. It is not, however, of such vital in- terest to single taxers as to which po- litical party is for or against the sin- gle tax as it is that the theory of Henry George should be understood and in- telligently discussed. Up to the pres- ent editorials have been woefully at sea in the presentation of the single tax proposition, and naturally the de- ductions have been equally erroneous, and platform speakers also seem wretchedly ignorant of what the single tax is and what the results of its adop- tion would be. General Barnes con- tents himself with calling it names; Mr. Gage says it is a proposition to tax realty and improvements only. Now, in order to test the knowledge and encourage the exercise of thought on the part of random writers and rav- ers, and to put the subject squarely before the people—in other words, In order to give the single tax a fair, square hearing—I make the following claims for the single tax and challenge denial or adverse argument. The sin- gle tax would: First—Cheapen land. Second—Would encourage industry. Third—Discourage speculation. Fourth—Raise the wages of labor. Fifth—Increase the earnings of capi- tal invested in industry.\ Sixth—Reduce the California farm- ers’ taxes to a quarter of the present tax they pay. Seventh—Prevent one man living off another’s labor, except by charity. Eighth—Destroy monopoly. Ninth—Abolish the “lobby.” Tenth—Raise the wages to the full product of labor. Eleventh—And could not be shifted. It seems to me that the above is a fair target for anti-single taxers. The only difficulty the antis will have will be to keep the thought out of their answers. When an anti-single taxer begins to think he is in danger, and if he keeps on thinking he is lost to the antis and becomes as rabid. as any of us. Trusting that you will give your anti- single tax editor, orators and readers an opportunity to confute the above statements, and_also permit reply, I am, sir, EDGAR POMEROY. Oakland, October 10. e ST E——— A ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. STAMPS—L. V., Altaville, Calaveras County, Cal.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE — Subscriber, City. In the States of Colorado, Utah and ‘Wyoming women have full suffrage and vote for all officers, including Presidential electors. The woman suffrage law in W yoming ‘was adopted in 1870; in Colorado it was adopted in 1883; woman suffrage is a constitutional provision in Utah. Wo- man suffrage exists in a limited way in Idaho, but women do not vote for Presi- dential electors. SQUARE MILE-MILE SQUARE-—A. O. 8., City.
