A KANSAS man , arrested for burgla
ry , who attempted to prove an alibi by
declaring that he had been out fish
ing , failed because he could not produce
the fish caught. Where did the Kansas
court find a precedent for ruling that a
man must produce a string of fish to
prove he had been fishing.
HERR , MOST , the "king of the anarch
ists , " has eluded the clutches of the po
lice for some time but was finally cap
tured. When found he was hiding un
der a bed in a house of prostitution.
When the officer dragged him from him
ignoble place of concealment he com
menced his usual harangue about "lib
erty. " lie is now enjoying the liberty
of a prison cell.
IT sometimes happens that the shear
er returneth home shorn. An associa
tion of eastern capitalists went into Kan
sas and bought a lot of land right in the
center of the state. They laid off a
town and called it Kanapolis. They ad
vertised it far and wide and whooped up
things , to the enlivenment of local busi
ness and the replenishment of the cof
fers of divers newspapers. A great free
excursion and free lunch were announc
ed on the day of the grand sale of lots.
The future metropolis of the west lay
smiling and basking in the rays of the
May sun. The crowd came and enjoyed
the excursion and the lunch , and didn't
buy a lot. One lot was knocked off to
the capper who started it.
THE problem of immigration has not
been wisely or prudently treated by us.
We have been too sentimental , too boast
ful , too truthful. We have held that
as a nation of freemen we ought to let
the enslaved come tous , without hind
rance , regardless of their character or
purposes. We have believed that our
undoubtedly glorious institutions would
take care of themselves , and that our
country was big enough for everybody.
And we have cherished the foolish delu
sion that the mere process of naturali
zation would transform the worst that
Europe could send us into material fit
for our electorate. It is time to dismiss
these childish notions and treat the
question more rationally and sensibly.
MR. HOSEFELD'S drugs and chemic
als have proved more deadly and cer
tainly more unerring in ttoeir aim than
the bullets of the police. Nobody drank
them who was an "innocent spectator * '
Every man who took poison in that
apothecary shop stole it , and presuma
bly those who emptied the bottles down
their throats were foremost among the
anarchists in the work of gutting the
building. No sympathy need be wasted ,
therefore , on the dead and dying who
fell in that engagement. They wanted
nihilism and they found it labeled under
strange names in bottles. They took it
and it knocked them out. There are
more things in chemistry than the pe-
troleumite ; who prides himself on his
knowledge of deadly compounds , ever
dreamt of in his philosophy. Chicago
