The probable recovery of President
McKinley brings forcibly to mind thu
fact that the legal penalty for a mere
unsuccessful attempt on another's life
is comparatively light. Should the
president be completely restored to
health the case of his iiulliint will be
different from that of any that have
gone before, ns the assassins of both
Lincoln and Oarlleld succeeded in ac
complishing their deadly purpose. In
this connection, however, It 1 recalled
that for a whfle after the assault upon
President (iurfleld the nation conll
dently looked for his recovery, and thu
case of (ttiltenu at that time was re
garded much like that of O.olgosz at the
present moment. At that time, twenty
years ago, when the physicians prom
ised life to the stricken Oarlleld, The
Ilee discussed thu question as follows:
In view of the probable recovery of Pres
ident Oarfleld, It becomes a question what
punishment can or will be tnltlcted under
the law upon the would-be nBsassIn,
(iultcnu. It Is now conceded by tho most
xperlcnced cxpertH that Oultcau cannot bo
lasscd as a lunatic. Ho Is as sane as any
ther murderer who has deliberately and
maliciously planned an assassination.
In tlmo of war a deadly assault upon tho
president could be punished under martial
aw as treason. This was tho course pur
sued with tho nscompllcea of Wllltes Booth,
But tho criminal code of tho United States,
hlch caverns all crimes committed in tho
District of Columbia, makes no distinction
between a deadly assault upon a president
or a private person.
Oultcau cannot bo tried upon two Indict
ments any more than a roan who steals two
horses can bo Indicted twice. It would be
Just ns reasonable to expect that Oultcau
could be tried for every blow he had given
the president If Instead of attempting to
kill him with a pistol he had used a club.
The Indictment will not bo for wounding
tho president, but for an nttcmpt to kill
him. It has been held that n pistol shot
different from a blow with n club or tho
list, Inasmuch ar such a blow seldom kills.
horeas ono shot Is frequently fatal. But
he Intent of n man who attacks another
Ith fists or a club may bo Just as mur-
crous as If he was armed witn a pistol.
Wo havo no law whereby Oultcau can bo
punished mom severely for wounding tho
resident than for wounding a ragpicker,
ut there la no doubt that a law providing
for sevcro punishment In enses of this kind
needed. A public man becomes moro
or less a target for disappointed and vicious
haractcrs of all sorts, especially If ho does
his duty well, Wo Invito him to accept
such n position and wo should see that ho
Is protcctcil In the discharge of his duties,
No retroactive law can touch Oultcau
now, but his attempt on the lite or pres
ident Oat field will doubtless be a powerful
rgumcnt In favor of nn act of congress
making an nttcmpt to kill a president or
Ice president of the United States a cap
ital crime punishable with death.
Should McKinley continue to Improve,
as we all hope, the would-be assassin
anuot lie punished any more severely
under the lnw than would be the as
sailant of n private citizen. The advis
ability of ranking the penalty more se
vere for nssnults upon the president or
the vice president cnu well iie discussed
by coming state nnd national legisla
tures. OMAHA'S SPKCiAL A'TBRKST.
Whilo the peoplo of tho whole coun
try urn most deeply concerned, for the
recovery of President McKinley from
tho wound Inflicted by tho nssnssin, thu
people of Omaha have a special interest
growing out of the mnrked favor which
they havo enjoyed at thu president's
hand. Our peoplo feel a personnl ac
quaintance and friendship with Presi
dent McKinley nnd his illness Is to
them almost llko tho Illness of n mem
ber of their own household.
Tho president has been n guest within
the couflneH of Omaha on successive oc
casions, both before and after his ele
vation to thu position of chief executive
of tho nation. His most grnclous pres
enco, however, nnd the visit most
deeply graved on tho city's history
was that when he honored tho Trims-
mlsslsslppl exposition, making tho Jour
ney across the continent with .Omaha as
his objective point.
At Otnnhu he delivered his first public
utterance nftor tho close of tho success
ful war with Spain and In this Omaha
speech ho for tho first tlmo publicly
outlined the course about to be pursued
by tho administration In tho conduct of
affairs in our new island possessions In
thu West Indies and In the far Orient.
President McKlnley's brief stay In
Omaha during thu memorable Peace
Jublleo evinced a feeling of closest cor
diality between host and distinguished

with special force to Omaha people the
wanton wound of thu anarchist bullet.

The encampment of tho Grand Army
of the Hepubllu this week will be, ac
cording to nil Indications, one of the
most celebrated and Interesting In the
history of tho organization. There has
never been a tlmu whun tho public
Interest and when the public enthu
siasm hns not gonu out to thu veterans
whose valor saved tho nation In Its
great trial for preservation ami thu
same feeling prevnlls today as, actuated
the people In tho past, when the ques
tion of union was aboru everything
else In their minds.
Thu nnuual meeting of the national
encampment of the Grand Army of thu
Republic Is peculiarly Interesting and
Important from the fnet thnt there are
clrcumstnnces of more than usual In
terest to be considered. It Is not an
ordinary meeting, but on the contrary
one In which there will be mutters con
sidered of more than ordinary Impor
tance, not only to tho members of tho
Grand Army, but to tho general public.
According to thu most authentic, nil
vices, ono of the most prominent ques
tlons and possibly thu onn that will
command moro attention than that of
any other, relates to thu question of
the administration of tho pension bu
reau. The antagonism to Commissioner
Kvnns Is most continued and It Is bound
to manifest Itself, according to present
Indications, at tho coming meeting of
tho Grand Army. The antagonism
which tho members of the Grand Army
of tho Republic havo In tho'pnst ex
pressed toward the present uUtululstra-
tlon of the pension bureau, some of
them may under present circumstances
modify. It would seem Impossible that
any man who had fought for his coun
try and had been prepared to sacrlllce
his life In defense of the Hag could have
any other than a feeling, of respect and
regard for the head of the pension bu
reau, whose labor has been devoted to
taking care of thu men who are en
titled to the beneficence of the govern
ment. There Is talk of a persistent ef
fort to supplant the commissioner of
pensions but the probability Is thnt thu
sober second thought of thu men who
meet In Cleveland this week will be
against any action of this nature.
In any event, this Is to be hoped for,
that the Grand Army of the Republic,
representing as It does the patriotic
sentiment and the glory and valor of
the nation, will rise above all selllsu
emotions and desires and place Itself
In accord with thu very best sentiment
uf thu nation.
The east is making an effort to culti
vate sentiment In the west favorable to
the passage uf a riser ami harbor bill
In the next congress. The west has no
objection to thu passage of appropria
tions for legitimate river and harbor
work, whether that work Is In thu east
or west. Hut It does object to the Jobs
and useless appropriations generally car
ried In that bill and also has a right to
complnln of tho eastern members of
congress who willfully ignore the legiti
mate demands of thu west In Irrigation
and similar matters.
There nre altogether too mnny soft
snups and lucratlvu berths in the
county court house. The lust sheriff
of Douglas county cleaned up a small
fortune in four years. At the time ho
went out of otliee lie held $1(1,000 In reg
istered warrants, besides a snug bank
account. Thu clerk of tin; district
court Is allowed u salary of ?.",000 a
year, while thu deputies and clerks paid
for by the county do nil the work.
Many other county officials managu to
eke out a substantial living from thu
perquisites of olllce.
Almost without exception It was pre
dicted that the shooting of the presi
dent would cause the death of Mrs.
McKinley. An Invalid whose hold on
life was Mqnder, she has surprised
every one by the calm fortitude with
which she bore up under her troubles,
where many an apparently stronger
woman would have broken down. The
mystery of woman's power to endure
suffering Is one of the problems never
fully understood.

How to Treat Anarchy

Congress should onnct a law under which
the secretary of war, the general of tho
army and the admiral of the navy might
order that any man making a murderous
asiault on the president should bo imme
diately shot. This would vindicate tho
majesty of government "for tho people and
by the people" and protect civil society
against those who attack It from a posl
tlon beyond Its pale.

the most democratic of all the presidents
whom the country has seen for many years.
Considering himself one of the people ho
has mingled Ith the people freely, with
out any distrust or fear of anybody. From

Time for I'rntrctlt Measure.
Kansas City Star,
It Is high time thnt the American people
were taking measures to protect them
selves against this evil. The fact that
tho United States Is the asylum for the op
pressed and the homo of the free does not
require them to harbor foreigners who
come Into the country to destroy It or to
tolerate the native dupes and allies of such
creatures, The land of liberty need not bo
a land of license. Our true and rational
policy Is to retuse admission to all known
anarchists from abroad, whether they
come to reside or merely to "lecture," and
to deport nnd banish all anarchists al
ready within our borders as soon ns they
become known ns such. And the sooner
this policy Is put into operation tho better
nnd safer it will be for tho nation nnd
for Its public men.

It Is difficult In this country, with its lib
oral Institutions, to stop the public teach
ing and preaching of nnarchy. Even if It
be stopped the men who think tho Boclnl

of killing rulers will lecture to their dis
ciples In private. Severe punishments havo
no deterrent effect. There aro nnnrehlsta
who rise superior to tho fear of death and

to nud will be elected by a lnrgo majority
If the people of Nebraska desire to elect
nn honorable, nble and conscientious man
to the supreme bench. Ho Is the peer of
any man In Nebraska and a man ot tho
people.
McCook Tribune: Tho newspapers of Ne
braska havo uttered a superb symposium
of tho high character nnd fine ability of
Judge Sedgwick, the republican nominee
for supremo Judge. Ho deserves It, too,
Now It Is up to the people of Nebraska
to do the right thing royally elect him
by a decisive tnnjorlty.
Kearnoy Hub: The republican party will
occupy nn Impregnable position In tho cam
paign this fall for supreme Judge. With nn
Irreproachable candidate nnd a party atti
tude that appeals to tho confidence of the
masses of voters, there Is no doubt that
the party will very handsomely supplement
the larger Wctory ot 1900.
Teknmnh Herald: Judge Sedgwick of
York, the republican nominee for supreme
Judge, Is nn exceedingly strong cnndldate
where he Is best known. Ht resides In n
district where the opposition hns had a
large majority, but still he was elected
term after term to the district bench. No
better Indorsement than that could be
asked.
Dakotn City Eagle- A better selection
could not havo been nnmcd for supreme
Judge of tho state of Nebraska lhan Judge
S. H. Sedgwick of York. He Is a mnn of
a long anil brilliant legnl work and Is
possessed of all the qualifications that go
to fit him for the position to which he
was nominated by tho republicans at Lin
coln last week.
Ashlard Onzette: The nomination of
Judge Sedgwick for Justice of tho supreme
court wns the best thing possible for tho
republican state convention to do. A clean,
capable, upright Judge hns been chosen,
one ngalnst whose Judicial wisdom nnd per
sonnl Integrity even the most violent of his
opponents hno nothing to allege. Judgo
Sedgwick will be elected and every citizen
of the stnto will havo reason to be proud
of the choice.
Kails City Journal' Thn republican stnto
cnineutlon has nominated Hon. S. II. Sedg
wick of York for Judge of tho supreme
court. The nomlnntlou wns made after a
considerable contest, brought nbout by tho
large number of good candidates In the
Held. Judge Sedgwick Is a mnn of high
legal nttalnmcnts He hiiR served long on
th" district bench and Is at present a mem
ber of the supreme court commission. He
Is a man well qualified for the high po
sition of Judgo of the supremo court. Ho
Is n man of clean record nnd will not only
receive the undivided support of his own
party, but that of men of other parties
who havo tho best Interests nf the state at
heart. r
Chappcll Iteglster: When tho repub
licans nominated Judgo Sedgwick fnr su
premo Judge they nominated a man with a
clean record, a man of ability, a man whom
no ono can say a word against truthfully,
nnd the worst that any democratic paper
hns dared to sny since his nomination Is
that his sympathies aro with tho railroads
and In the same breath they say that his
decisions hnvo always been fnlr. What
more could you nsk? Ho Ib admittedly ca
pable, honest and clean, nnd men who can
render a fair and Impartial verdict In a
case where his sympathies are with ono
sldo or tho other nre scarce. Judge Sedg
wick Ib a good man to lie to.
Ncbraskn City Press: Nebraska repub
licans In tho state convention nt Lincoln
have been guided by n determination to
win. They nccnrdlngly selected a strong
man to plnco at tho head of the ticket, who
will command tho honest support of tho
republicans throughout tho state. Judgo
Sedgwick Ib one of the foremost law
yers and Jurists of the state. His nomina
tion this yenr comes as a tribute to his
clean private and ofllclnl character and
undoubted superior qualifications for the
place. Altogether the party In the state
finds Itself In a most promising position for
the approaching contest nt the polls a po
sition which seems to presage Itself cer
tain nnd decisive success.
Crcto Vldette: The republicans had tho
largest convention In the history nf the
state. With a large, array of candidates
they picked out Judge Sedgwick nf York,
undoubtedly tho strongest mnn In the field.
Ho Is a brilliant lawyer, has served satis
factorily ns district Judge nnd Is at present
one of tho supreme court commissioners.
Ho Is an able, clean, unnssnllablo candi
date, nnd, as the Vldetto previously stnted,
will receive a largo support from con
servative democrats and populists who he
llevo In keeping tho supremo court equally
balanced politically. With his election pach
party will have onn of the Judges nnd they
will ho on their good behavior. No one
'wnnts a one-sided, biased political court.
Osceola Republican: Tho republican
voters of the stnto nre to bo congratulated
for halng a cnndldate like Judgo Sedgwick
to head their ticket this fall. Tho Judge
was on the bench In this district for four
years and hla decisions won tho respect
of the best, lawyers In every county seat In
his Jurisdiction. The editor of this pnper,
ns a law' student, attended district court
In this county during Judgo Sedgwick's
ofllclnl career nnd we wish to sny the Judge
was careful about all his rulings nnd that
he nlwnya endeavored to treat tho litigants
In a fair arid Impartial manner. Polk
rounty will give tho Juigo n good vote nnd
wo hope n mnjorlty at tho coming elec
tion, for n grent many populist ond demo
cratic voters are counted nmong his warm
friends here nnd a largo number will throw
politics to one side nnd help elect him to
the supremo bench.
Kenrrey ivmnernt: The republicans
havo nomlnnted Samuel 11. Sedgwick
of York as their candidate for associate
Justice of tho supremo bench. From nmong
tho candidates before their convention wo
do not believe a better solectlon could havo
been mndo. Tho writer has known Judgo
Sedgwick for nbout twenty-two years nnd,
while wo have always differed with him In
politics, wo havo'niways regnrded him ns
an Ideal lawyer and n professionally clean,
upright man. Ho Is now rno of tho su
uromo court commissioners and other mem
bers nf tho court havo told tin that he was
ono of tho most conscientious, hard-working
members of tho court commission nnd
highly respected nnd admired for his great
store of legal knowledge by his nssoclats
nn thn bench nt this time. The claim
has always been made, nt nil times anil
by all political parties, that the Judiciary
should bo kept nonpartisan. Especially has
this been so In regard to tho hlghost Judi
cial trlbunnl of tho state. With the re
tirement of Judge Norvnl tho last membor
of tho court affiliating with tho republican
party will hnvo served his term nnd the
democratic and populist parties will still
rotain each a member of thn court In the
persons nf Judge John J. Sullivan nnd
Judge Silas A. Holcomb. The supreme
court commission has also been chosen
with thn same nonpartisan end In vlow,
three commUslnncrs having been selected
from each of tho threo political factors In
tho state All things -Intelligence, Integ
rity nnd legal equipment being equal
nmong tho candidates for supremo Judge,
under the claims heretofore mado by all
falr-mlndfd men thnt the court should bo
nonpartisan, Judgo Sedgwick will be elected.
