Heretofore it has been thought that the anarchist cult in this country _was limited to a few who professed it in Paterson, small ring led by Herr Most in New York, by in Chicago and less than two hundred reds in San Francisco. A popular error has been the iden- tification o ‘socialists and anarchists as the same. The people who have listened to the exposition of 'social- ism as a doctrine of peace and good order, propa- gating itsclf by opposition to war and bloodshed, were led thereby to conceive a less horrible impres- sion of anarchy. This identification of the two schools iz entirely wrong. It is true that the hot spirits in socialism may be moved by its often de- spairing conception of existing conditions to go on into anarchy, but in justice to socialists it must be ad- mitted that they do not run a murderers’ kindergar- ten. Out of all these mistakes and this feeling of confidence the American people are suddenly awak- ened as by a fire bell in the night to discover that anarchy has abused our liberal laws to propagate its bloody dcctrine until it has actually become a force that must be reckoned with. Another feature in this disclosure is that it hates a mild and liberal popular Government like ours worse than it hates an autoc- racy like Russia, because our form tends to make people contented with governmental institutions, and all government is marked by anarchists for destruc- tion. It is now known that the Paterson anarchists are about five times as numerous as they were supposed to be, and are regarded as so peculiarly venomous that nearly every European Government maintains secret service men among them to watch and warn against their plots. In New York the followers of Herr Most run into the thousands, and he is an object of constant solici- tude to the local government. He is now under ar- rest for articles published in his newspaper, though the truth must be told that these articles are mild compared to scores of editorials and cartoons which have appeared in Hearst's New York Journal. If the laws of that State take cognizance of what Most has published it will seem like a miscarriage of justice if they do not also cognize the incendiary and murder- inciting publications cf Hearst. y In Chicago the police repért two thousand an- archists. In the small coal town of Spring Valley, TIL, there is an anarchist newspaper, L' Aurore, which broke out in expressions of joy at the murder of President McKinley, and when the citizens threat- ened to suppress it nearly 500 anarchists among the coal miners sprang to arms to defend it. In Colorado many nests of anarchists have ap- peared, and it is known that they have headquarters in this cify and in Oakland. They insidiously teach the worthlessness of this Government, its failure to secure justice to the people, its oppression of the masses, and it is easy to see how directly in line with their methods the reiterated utterances of Hearst's papers have been. Wisdom and safety require that something be done. The mere exclusion of anarchist immigrants will not_ suffice. Foreign immigration has already filled the o y with abundant material for their purpose. Exclusion is well, but it is not enough. It must be supplemented by expulsion or suppression of the reds who are here. Of course they are an inappreciable fraction of our population, but they are potential as- sassins, and the assassin is an intolerable member of any community. Soon we will have the rancorous voice of the American demagogue raised for that free- dom of speech and of the press which these murder- ers and their teachers abuse. But freedom of speech and of the press applies only to advocacy of sach changes and reforms as may better government in the opinion of their advocates, and may obviously preserve and not destroy it. Anarchy teaches not the betterment nor the preser- vation of government, but its destruction, its total extinction. The law can forbid and can punish the teaching of destruction of government. Since such destruction can only be secured by . violence, the teaching is of the quality of treason. Treason is de- fined by the constitution as levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to its ene- mies. The anarchists are enemies of the United States, inasmuch as they are enemies of all governmient, and this is a government. Those who give them aid and comfort by such means as Hearst has used are aiding and comforting, therefore, the enemies of the United States, and the law can reach them and him and his like without any abridgment of the constitu- tiomal rights of the people. This is distinctly an issue in American politics, and will disappear only when settled in favor of the right of the Government to wrotect its own existencé. THE blaze of an assassin’s pistol has lit up an .Telephone Press 204 ; eration. CRUSHING THE RATTLE 'CTION taken by the various commercial otganizations of the city with reference to the Examiner gives a further refutation to the whining charge of Hearst that his papers are being assailed by business rivals and by incapable journalists. It is a further attestation of the truth that the denunciation of his papers arises from a widespread and deeply rooted indignation on the part of the public; that it is the stern judgment of American intelligence and American patriotism, stirred by the Ameri- can conscience to condemn, to denounce and to crush out utterly a* viperous journalism that should never have been tolerated at any time. ¢ The declarations of the commercial organizations ‘were in line and in sympathy with other declarations made by business organizations, fraternal societies, social clubs, churches, libraries, literary societies and universities. reports of bodies of that kind formally condemning Hearst for his responsibility in pro- moting anarchy in this country and excluding his papers from their rooms. Individuals of course have been even more prompt and emphatic than associations and organized bodies. From home after home the Examiner has been excluded in this city. business men denounce it, the clubs scorn it, the family rejects it, the church condemns it, libraries repudiate it, universities expel it and the public puts it beyond the pale of tol- It has become the object of a well-nigh universal detestation, and the Journal has suffered the same fate in New York and the American in Chicago. From all parts of the Union come Thus THE IMPROVING SOUTH. y HILE ‘the conditions of the Southern States are still far short of what they should V'V be, and the tone of public sentiment is not «s much averse to the infliction of wrong upon the negroes as is desirable, it is none the less evident that a steady improvement is going on among the Southern people both morally and materially, and it is probable we have seen the climax of those lynch- ing outrages and unjust election laws which have so stirred the indignation of the country. The Call has had occasion of late to repeatedly direct attention to some forcible utterance on the part of a man of inflyence in the South denouncing Iynch law and rousing public sentiment against it. We have now to note that there has also arisen in the South a strong protest against the exclusion of negroes from the polls, and while it may not success- fully combat the schemes that have been devised to that end, it gives promise of eventually -bringing about some means-of alleyiating the wrong, if not of remedying it altogether. In Virginia, for example, the franchise plan de- vised for the exclusion of negroes has met with a formidable opposition. The Richmond Times has taken up the war against it and denounces it vigor- ously. In arecent issue it said: “We are utterly and uncompromisingly opposed to any measure which never consent to the proposition that a man has a right to vote simply and solely on the score of his an- cestry. That is the doctrine of aristocracy; and is as far from the doctrine of democracy as the North is from the South. * * * We are equally. -op- posed to the device known as the ‘under- standing clause’ of some of the Southern con- stitutions, for we believe that it is a device which, iif adopted, will be used by tricky politicians to serve their own purposes. We are unwilling to put it into the power of a few election officers to determine who shall be permitted to vote and who shall not be per- mitted to vote in the State of Virginia. * * * We have heard a great deal lately about anarchy. But what is anarchy, after all, but defiance of the law? It may be contended that this law or that law is a bad law, but so leng as it is the law of the land it must be respected. The fifteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States, be it good or bad, is a part of the organic law of this country, and God grant that the people of Virginia may never defy it or even evade it!” The Times does not stand alone - in making the fight in Virginia, nor is it in that State only that the opposition is strong. In fact, the revolt against the exclusion plan adopted by the constitutional conven- tion in Alabama is about as strong in that State as is the similar revolt in Virginia. - The opponents of the scheme are no longer “keeping quiet.” They feel themselves sufficiently numerous and influential to make a fight, and while it is not likely they will be successful, they will at least lay the foundation of a party from which something in the way of redress may be expected later on. A still more significant sign of the change ‘that is coming over the South is to be found in the reports from Louisiana that a considerable number of the better elements of the white people in that State would not feel disappointed should the Supreme Court of the United States declare the so-called “grandfather clause” in the State constitution to be null and void. It is argued that should that clause be: set aside the law v.ould then apply to whites and be very much bettered. Of course public sentiment in. any large commun- ity cannot be expected to change suddenly. Time is required for new ideas to make their way into the minds of large masses of men and become suffi- ciently strong to dominate old ideas and cast them out. This is particularly true of an agricultural country like the South, where there is no great city to form the center of new thoughts, and where the people are widely scattered. We must therefore be satisfied with slow progress. In fact, when all things are taken into consideration the progress is not slow. In ‘comparison with the tone of public sentiment a few years ago the utterances of leading men now.on the subject of lynching show something in the na- ture of a revolution in the popular mind. B eue——, The Examiner, which was expelled from the Bo- hemian Club on Wednesday, reached the conclusion on Thursday that the members of the Bohemian Club are dissolute. This probably means that some members of the yellow outfit have not yet in decency retired from the club, ’ The New York man who has involved himself in all sorts of trouble for having driven his wife frantic by ringing alarm clocks by the ‘wholesale at mid- night was probably trying to play even with his bet- ter half for ringing one when he came home after midnight. The city officials in New York have given a coat of white paint to the figure of Justice on the City Hall, and the incident is regarded as an evidence that Tammany will try to get everything whitewashed be- forg the.election takes place. —— G A Boston millionaire has left to that city a fortune of several millions to found and maintain a home for incurables, and noW for the first time the public learns that an incurable Bostonian ever felt the need of any other home than he has, Neither in the city election nor in the international yacht race’do the people show anything like the interest taken in former years, but all the same they will be exciting enough when they get started. will create in this State a privileged class. - We will blacks alike and the electorate of the State would | ‘'OUR COLONIAL TRADE. EPORTS from the Treasury Bureau of Stat- R istics show that our trade with Porto Rico and the Philippines is doing well. There is a continuing increase in our exports to those coun- tries that promises the realization of the most san- guine hopes of reasonable men concerning the fu- ture of our commerce with them. From Hawaii the Treasury no longer obtains official statistics of trade with this country, so that the exact condition of trade with those islands is not known. With the Cubans our export trade has diminished, while our imports have increased. A summary of the Treasury bulletin on the subject says: Our domestic exports to Porto Rico in the seven months ending with July, 1go1, were $4,300,326, against $3,107,248 in_ the corresponding months of last year, an increase of 40 per cent. To the Philip- pines our domestic exports in the seven months end- ing with July, 1901, were $2,023,i37, against $1,502,- 030 in the corresponding months of 1900,-an increase of over 25 per cent. To Cuba our domestic exports in the seven months ending with July, 1901, were $13,821,751, against $14,870,040 in the same months of 1900, a decfease -of 7 per cent. Our imports from Cuba in the same period 6f 1901 were $36,829,630, against $24,767,654 in the corresponding months of last year, an increase in imports of about 50 per cent. From Porto Rico our imports in the seven months ending with July, 1901, were $5,111,003, against $3,084,018 in the corresponding period of 1900, an in- crease of 65 per cent. Concerning the Hawaiian trade the report says: “No definite statistics from our own reports can be had, owing to the fact that the shippers refuse to give information regarding their commerce with the Ha- waiian Islands, which are now a customs district of the United States and therefore not subject to the law which requires statements of exports to and im- ports from foreign countries to be furnished to the Bureau of Statistics. The Collector at Hawaii, how- ever, reports the exports from the Hawaiian Islands to the United States in the seven months ending with July, 1901, at $19,526,447, indicating that the imports into the United States from the Hawaiian Islands for the calendar year will be materially in excess of for- mer years; while the Collector also estimated that the exports from the United States received into the Hawaiian Islands in the fiscal year just ended amount to about $20,000,000, an increase of about 50 per cent over the preceding year.” \ It will be seen that the development of commerce with the various islands is going briskly on. Some of our export trade to the Philippines and to Porto Rico is of course due to the presence of the army, which constitutes a demand for American goods. That demand, however, will serve to introduce our products to the natives, and in the end the trade will be materially increased with the whole population. 3 e The fad for advertisements among American cities appears to be at its height. The veracious citizens of Denver ask us to believe that seven: mountains sur- rounding a mining camp fifty miles from the town are all ablaze and that a volunteer army has sfarted out to subdue the flanies. The next we may expect to hear from Denver is that the blazing hills are the seven modern wonders of the world. A Massachusetts mob that went to' the residence of Richard Olney. for the purpose of attacking his coachman cheered themselves on the way by singing “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” It is only in Massa- chusetts that they know how to violate law in the name of religion, but they can do it there so well thgt the casual observer can hardly tell a lynching, party from a prayer meeting. A clique of ambitious young men of New York have organized a political society which is to be known as the Order of Acorns, whose professed pur- pose is to protest against the influence or interfer- ence of policemen in the affairs of the public gener- ally. This society might find no difficulty in secur- ing recruits among certain classes of people not very far from this city. e A New York woman is said to have been driven insane from riding on the Coney Island “loop the loop.” Perhaps if the examining physicians were more critical in their investigation they might have decided that the unfortunate lady was insane before she went on the machine. B e Senator Wellington df Maryland has made the poorest use of his opportunities in office of any man in American history. Even Pettigrew made a better record for himself, and the only decent thing that Wellington can do now is to resign and let people forget him. . X Marquand & Co., the New York firm which failed for $9,000,000, had four dollars in. cash when the. crash came. From one point of view this failure should be considered distinctly a success worthy the most serious attention of the criminal courts. The Nationalists of Spain have sent a message of congratulation to President Roosevelt and assured 'him as the defender of oppressed people of their kindest regards. This probably may be accepted as the latest example of the retort courteous. It is announced that the control of the foreign af- fairs of China has been taken out of the hands of the Tsung-li-Yamen and placed in those of the Wai-Wu- Pu, but if there be anything in a name the situation has not been improved by the change. Cornelius Vanderbilt has demonstrated to the sat- isfaction of a New York Civil Service Commission that he can read and write and figure.

According to advices received by the officlals of the Southern Pacific Ralil- road Company more than 1000 delegates passed through Ogden yesterday and are due to reach San Francisco to-day. In addition to the clerical and lay dele- gates it is expected that a number of their friends will also journey to this city, and the gathering of the members of the Episcopal church will undoubtedly be a memorabl® one in every respect. _ The bishops of the Episcopal Church are expected to arrive here in the course of the next few days, & special train being used to carry the distinguished prelates. Among the lay delegates appointed from New York City is J. Pierpont Morgan, the millionaire, who will probably reach this city in his private car. The delegates who arrived last night wege met at the ferry depot by Samuel C. Barclay, a member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, who was selected to wel- come the belated travelers. Conflict Over Ritualism. The great conflict at the coming Epis- copal convention, the result of which is likely to convulse the church from one end of the United States to the other, will be over the question of ritualism. There 18 a large element in the church that objects to anything that is “new" or the revival of certain ornate ceremonials which - were common to the English church in the time of Edward VI, but are not, in the opinion of worshipers in the “low" church, to be sanctioned for the reason of their close resemblance to those of the Roman Catholic ritual. The ritual- ists in the Episcopal church are a grow- ing and aggressive element, and Bishop Grafton of the Fond du Lac diocese 1s thelr representative and exponent. Around him the great battle of ritual- ism in the church will be fought. At the recent consecration of a coad- jutor to his dlocese the ceremonial was elaborated to a degree that amazed the whole church and remonstrances flowed in from every direction. The metropoli- tan of the American church, Dr. Clark of Rhode Island, thundered his displeasure, and the Bishops who assisted at the con- secration were denounced as disloyal and as introducers of strange doctrines. Upon this foundation the conflict to be waged is based and a great forensic debate is as- sured. . 2 ‘Well equipped with oratorical ability to defend the advanced side of the question, the Right Rev. Charles Chapman Grafton will concentrate the attention of the church as long as the debate may last. He'is a graduate of Harvard and before taking orders was a lawyer. Though his own Massachusetts diocese is the “low- est” of the ‘“low,” Bishop Grafton es- poused the ritualistic idea and in his time was regarded as the exponent of the very “highest” element in his church. In 1865 he joined the *‘Cowley Fathers,” an order of English monks, and returned to Bos- ton as the: rector of the Church of the Advent, where he was successful in a- wonderful degree. b As Bishop of a. Western diocese- he has gained the sympathy. and support of his own people and a large following among his own order in every diocese of the church, Where Bishops Will Reside. The principal hotels of the city have made provision for a large increase in the number of guests during the conven- tion. So far as-is known the dignitaries of the church will be located as follows: The Lord Bishop of Newcastle and the Lord Bishop of British Columbia will be guests of the Bishop of California at the Scott residence. Bishop Potter of New York and others will occupy W. H. Crocker's home on California street. The Biehop of Pennsylvania, Dr. Whittaker, will be a guest of Mrs, Isaac Requa, Oakland.

At the Occidental will be located: Bishop Aswill of Western Missouri, Bishop Brewer of Montana, Bishop Dudley of Ken- tucky, Bishop Francis of Indiana, Bishop Gravatt of West Virginia, Bishop Gallon of Tennessee, Bishop Graves of Shanghal, Bishop Gibson of Virginia, Bishop Johnson of Los Angeles, Bishop McKim of Toklo, Bishop Niles of New Hampshire, Bishop Peterkin of West Virginia, Bishop Paret of Maryland, Bishop Randolph of Virginia, Bishop Rowe of Alaska, Bishop Satterlee of Washington, Bishop ‘Whitehead of Pittsburg, Bishop Vincent of Ohio and a large number of noted clergymen and lay delegates of the convention. At the Palace the following have en- gaged quarters during the convention: Bishop Leonard of Ohlo, Bishop Codman ot Maine, Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts, Bishop Morrison of Iowa, Bishop McVickar of Rhode Island, Bishop A. C. A, Hall of Ver- mont, Bishop J. H.
