He Does Not Favor Projected Plan of Keeping Executive Isolated —People Have Right to See Him and He Likes to Meet Them. In to-day’s issue of the Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, there pearn an Interesting article by ex-P: fdent Grover Cleveland on “The Safety of the President.” Mr. Cleveland ts not in ks favor of the projected plan of ping the President isolated. He ‘a that not only have the people a right to see the President and shake his hand, but that the President Mkes to meet the people, to talk with them, to come in contact with them. He belleves that our policy in that reapect should remain unchanged, but that better protection should be afford- ed the President by the men whose duty It ts to guard his safety. He is tn favor of rigorour laws to stamp out Anarchy, which he belleves ts growing in spirit in these United States. ‘After voicing the demand of the peo- ple that the assassin shall be punished, the ex-President says: “The chance \s by no means remote that our Chief Executive may be as- eassinated and a great nation be stag- ered by direful fear and apprehension, and yet the foul Ife of the murderer may be saved if the deed happens to be committed within the jurisdiction of a State whose laws do not denounce the, crime of murder with the punishment of | death. The effect of this would’ De to), herolze assassination In the imagination of the enemies of soctal order and to make the foul murderer a centre of sympathy and pity among those who disseminate vicious discontent. “It is at this time a perfectly natural and justifiable cause of satisfaction that the hopeless and self-convicted perpe- | trator of the Infamous crime which now darkens with mourning every honest American household can anticipate noth- ing more gratitying to his brutal selt- concelt and nothing more heroically no- torlous or sensational than a shameful death under the law." Must See Public. This Is what Mr. Cleveland has to say about the {dea of keeping the public away from the President: “It Is not amiss to add that In din- cursing the curtailment of the privileges long accorded to the public in this re- gard the President himself must be reckoned with, We shail never have a President who ts not fond of the great mass of his countrymen and who ts not, willing to trust them. Hix close con- tact with them !s inspiring and encour- aging. Yhelr friendly greeting and hearty grasp of his hand, with no favors to ask and no selfish cause to urge, bring pleasant rellef from ofMfctal por- plexitles and annoying tmportunities. The people have enjoyed a generous access to thelr President for more than a hundred years. Weighing the remote chance of harm against the benefit and gratification of such access both to him- self and the people, tt can hardly be predicted that a project for {ts abolition would be sanctioned by any incumbent of the Presidential office. “We can no longer," saya Mr. Clev land, “doubt the existence and zrow f a spirit of Anarchy in our midst. to need no special exciting cause use it to deadly activity, but de- iberately plans murder In high places." Why Allow Anarchy? The American people, he continues, are inquiring why we allow the growth | of Anarchy to continue—why we let it gain a foothold In our soll in the first He goes on as follows: ‘Nor will these questioners be satis- fled with mere rellef from the future im- portation of thedangersof Anarchy. They are asking {f our popular Government would be subjected to monarchicai taint Mf strong and effective remedies were applied to the suppression of the mach- {nations of Anarchists who have alreadv a foothold among us. They see va- rants, common gamblers, suspected | criminals and disorderly persons in the | hands of the law for the harm they may do of a feeble kind and within narrow Mmite; and they cannot under- It stand why Anarchists, whose diabolical, character end teachings are or ought to be well known, are allowed to plot and conspire until bloody assassination strikes down the embodiment of ben- eficent rule and shakes the foundations of lawful authorit Our, people love Uberty and are te every guar- Unty of freedont to which thelr Govern.

So interested were Sycamore and Batr in their battle for the advantage, that they were caught ont of reach! dle tance from the line when the startin gun wan fred Shamrock's crew was a bit quicker than the defender's in setting the bal- Joon aatls, and that was the only solac Sir Thomas could find at the start.
