Died At her homo in Greenwood, at 10 o'cloc k a. m., Thursday, Sept. 1, 18S7, Miss Jane Coleman, iu her 61st year. The deceased was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, Dec. G, 1826, and as a child moved with her parents to Knox county, Ohio, where she resided until 1830, when she removed to Henry coun ty, Iowa. Twelve years later, in 18G2, she agaiu moved westward, settling on Salt creek, in the then territory of Neb raska. She had been a church member for over thirty years, and was one of six to organize the Greenwood Congrega tional church, iu 1864. She had been in poor health for over thirty years, but was confined to her bed for only ten days prior to her death. The funeral occurred at the Congrega tional church at 2 p. m. to-day, the in terment being made at Loders' grave yard, near Ashland. The deceased leaves a number of rela tives, most of whom arc residents of Greenwood and vicinity. The Leader in common with the entire community extends its sympathy. "Socialism" in Free America. Since the "socialists" of New York have been kicked out of the Labor party by Henry George and his associates, they have become impudent and noisy in their threats of incendiarism, rapine and murder. They are as furious against the leaders of the Labor party as they used to be against their old-time ene mies, Prince Bismarch and Emperor William. They threaten to make short work of the people of America. They professed to be firm friends of the work ingmcn as long as they had hopes of be ing treated to free beer and appointed or elected to fat offices; but after the Labor party was formed and they had been de nied admission to it, they began to breathe fire and slaughter against the very pe rsons with whom they were eo eager to associate. The "American socialist" is very much given to beer and' bluster. He is com paratively harmless except in times of great public disturbances. Then he is likely to become dangerous. The Ilay market massacre in Chicago a year ago last May shows how willingly the social- ' and his fellow, the anarchist, will m- l" t the work of death and destruc-augm. tion. The assurance and the iguoranca of these pests are equally monumental. They are lazy, worthless wretches, who only come to the country because they were driven from their own countries In theory they are professional cutthroats, but in practice they are cowards of the lowest type. They dare not stand up for what they call their theories on their native soi4, because the iron heel of Bis marck would crush them out of exis tence, the czar of Russia would order them to be knouted or set t work in Siberia, and the republic of France would send them to the galleys or into exile. But taking advantage of our widely-proclaimed free institution the dirty horde comes here thinking that it can do as it pleases. It is useless to deny the fact that these incindiaries are dangerous. Al though they arc too cowardly to strike in open warfare against society, they still can resort to the torch and the dyn amite bomb. Their meetings should be dispersed and their newspapers sur pressed. Free speech is one thing and license another. Perhaps the hanging of the condemned anarchists in Chicago may have a salutory effect upon the ruffians, " and that interesting event should be postponed no longer than i3 absolutory necessary.
