Punishment of Anarchy.

There is much to be commended in-'

the European fashion of dealing with
convicted anarchists. Anarchy depends
very largely upon notoriety for eXistence
and when the possibilties for sensational
public utterances minimized there surc-
ly follows a corresponding diminution
in the number of those who feel called
to preach the doctorine of revolution.-
The New York Times says, in discuss
ing European anarchists : “The anar
chist is a person who endeavors practi-
cally to do the greatest harm to the
greatest number, and to get himself in-
to print in the greatest number. of
newspapers at the greatest passable
length”-—a person in whom “the desu‘e
to do mischiéf,and the love of notoriety
have conquered the fear of death.”
Could one of these disturbers of the
public peace be guaranteed an execu-
tion in the presence of a great multi-
tude, to whom he would be at liberty
to deliver a farewell incendiary speech,
he would commit the bloodiest of deeds
and glory in arrest. But European
governments that have to deal with
these enemies of society are making
anarchy very unpopular by executing
the guilty ones in the darkness Of early
morning, and without the presence of
agreat concourse which would flatter
the peculiar kind of vanity that is're-
sponsible for about all of the anarchists
heard up to this time.

“MW——
Restricted immigration a Prevent—
ative.

Stories of sanguinary encounters be-
tween oflicers of the law and striking

coal- miners are prominent features in

the news each day, teaching a lesson

that this country, sooner or later, will
be bound to heed. More than ordinari-
ly cor spicuous was the battle at La
Selle, 111., which, from all the infor-
mation that can be had, may be said
to have been commenced without cause
by some of the most undesirable varie-
ties of the European ruflian with which
this country is afl‘licted. The occurren-
ces of the past week or two in the coal
and coke regions have forced open the
eyes of many Americans who, hereto-
fore, were willfully blind. Now, noth-
ing more is needed to accentuate the
necessity for the adoption of the most
rigorous sort of immigration laws by
which the further importation of such
an undesirable element may be entire-
ly prevented. And yet, it is not quite
fair to lay all the blame for the riotous
proceedings upon the shoulders ofithese
Poles, Hungarians, Italians and others
who, at this time, are so violently con—
spicuous. .

For the most part these sinners
against law and order were induced to
migrate hither by the glib misrepresen-
tations of the emigration agents who
overrun "Europe and with great volu—
bility describe the liberty which is en-
joyed under the stars and stripes as a
species of unrestricted license. The
majority of foreign laborers now in this
country were undoubtedly attracted to
these shores by those smooth—tongued
agents—many of whom were in the em-
ploy of, the coal operators who are now
crying aloud to the authorities for pro-
tection against the cheap labor that
was imported by the operators because
the American workingmau insisted up.
on receiving living wages in return for
his toil. Congress can easily erect a le-
gal barricade along the coast-line of the
United, States which will effectually
keep out all the undesirable classes of
foreigners who desire to come in on
their own account, as well as the multi-
tude of cheap laborers which so many
of the employers of this country seek
to bring in for their own purposes. It
is not to much to say that every shot
that is fired'in the riots which are now
of such frequent occurence in the coal
regions could have been prevented if
wise legislation, intended to restrict
immigration, had been placed upon the
statute books when the universal voice
of the country was first raised in favor
of it over a decade ago.

CHAPTER VI.

The momentous morning of the 4th
of March 1861, found all Washington
early astir. The Capital City and the
whole country, awaited fLincoln’s in-
auguration with intensest anXIet-y. The
rebellious South was impatient tor the
consummation of,the event,as an aid to
their dis-union plottings. The loyal
North had become overspread With a
fear that in some treacherous or mur-
derous way, the inauguration would be
prevented and anarchy _and misrule
leap forth as a consummation of threat-
ened. National disaster. It was under,
and with a perfect knowledge of all
these facts and conditions, when, as so
aptly stated by Mr. Blaine, “Southern
confidence was at its highest and North-
ern courage at its lowest,” that_Lin-
coln, very strongly'against his Wishes,
(and which he felt as an enforced hu-
miliation as long as he lived,) had per-
mitted himself to be clandestinely con-
veyed to Washington a day ahead of
announcement, to thwart a conSpiracy
for his assassination. So that, when
the Southern sympathizmg Breckin-
ridge had, as President of the .Senate,
officially announced him legally elect-
ed, and Judge Taney. had sworn him in
as President, it” greatly rev1ved the
drooping hope and courage of the
North. .

That the overwhelming burden to
heart and soul, this great and good
man that day bore, may be understood,
let a few of the many beligerant events
enacted by the hostile South, between
his election and inauguration, be in the
briefest way, recapitulated: November
5, ’61, (one day priorto. his election,)
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, in a pub-
lic speech’declared, “Before God, I
will not submit to the election of Lin-
coln.” December 20, South Carolina
adopts the ordinance of secession; 26,
Anderson evacuates Moultrie; 27, Cas-
tle Pinckney, Fort Moultrie, and Uni-
ted States Revenue ~ Cutter William
Aiken seized by South Carolina; 30,

seized; 3, Fort Pulaski, Ga., seized by
state authorities; 4, United States Ar-
senal, Mt. Vernon, Ala, seized by state;
5, Ports Morgan and Gaines, Mobile
Bay, seized; 6, United States Arsenal,
Apalachicola, seized by. Florida; 7,
Fort Marion, St. Augustine, seized; 9,
secession adopted by the Legislature of
Mississippi;Fort Johnson, N. C., seized;
Star of the West fired on when convey-
ing relief to Sumter; 10, Fort Caswell
seized, Florida secedes, United States
Arsenal at Baton Rouge, La., seized;
11, Alabama secedes, Forts Jackson
and St. Phillip, and the Marine Hospi-
tal, La., seized; 12, Forts Barrancas
and McKee, and Navy Yard Pensacola,
seized; 14, Fort Pike, La., seized; 15,
United States steamer Dana, seized at
St. Augustine; 19, Georgia secedes- 20,
Fort on Ship Island seized; 24—26, ni.
ted States Arsenal, Augustahand Fort
Jackson, Ga., seized; Louisiana. se-
cedes; 28, Fort Macomb, La.,_seized
and United States property in the
hands Of army officers seized at New
Orleans; February 1, Texas secedes,
United States Mint and Custom House
at New Orleans seized by state authori-
ties; 4, convention of. seceded states
meets at Montgomery. Ala.; 7, Choctaw
Nation of Indians declared adherence
to Secessionists; 8, Arsenal at Little
Rock, Ark., seized, and Confederate
Constitution adopted; 9, J efl' Dayle
elected President, and A. H. Stevens,
of Georgia, Vice-President of the
Southern Confederacy; 16, Arsenal San
Antonio, Texas, seized; 18, all United
States military posts and troops traitor-
ously surrendered to the Confederacy
by Gen. Twiggs, of the United States
army; Jeff Davis and Stevens inaugu.
rated at Montgomery; 20, Confederate
Congress passes an act to provide mu-
nitions of war; 21, an act to raise
forces; March 1, Davis takes command
of Confederate forces; 2, United States
cutter Dodge seized at Galveston, and
Texas joins the Confederacv; 3 Beaure-
gard takes command of the rebel
forces at Charleston, ,etc. _ .
These acts of land and water piracy
and plunder," were some of the rapidly
occurring events betokening fast ap-
proaching revolution. NO wonder the
great-hearted and tender-natured Lin-
coln, on bidding a final adieu' to his
peaceful home at Springfield, and to
friends and neighbors ' assembled to
hear what proved to be his last farewell,
with deepest pathos and in the travail
of his soul, implored them to “pray for
him.” .
President Buchanan, with Cabinet
full of traitors, was impatiently await-
ing his successor’s inauguration, chiefly
and abjectly anxious that the storm of
warl might be stayedzuntil he should
lay down the reins of government. He
deplored secession, was horrified at the
prospect of armed resistance to the
National authority, yet “could see no
‘constitutional’ way the Government
could coerce a sovereign state.” Had
one drop of Old Hickory’s blood
coursed in his timid and torpid veins,
he would have crushed the viper’s head
when at first it hissed disunion. But

N ORWALK, CONN. FRIDAY JUNE 1, 1894.

in justice to his memory be it said, he
did all he could to aid the safe and cer-
tain inauguration of Lincoln.

At ten‘ 21. m., the time appointed, he
called at his hotel. took Lincoln in his
carriage and rode in the procession be-
side ,him to the Capitol. A squadron
of cavalry was massed close around and
on either side of the Presidential car-

were kept in constantly shifting posi-
tions, so that no murderous. miscreant
could send a fatal bullet at Lincoln
from adjoining house-tops or windows,
there being well grounded fears that
this would be attempted. Arrived at
the Capitol. the strange sight was wit-
nessed of the inaugural stand at its east
central portico, being strongly guard-
ed by armed men, while all the win-
dows flanking the platform, on Senate
and House wings, were protected by
expert and trusty riflemen. In the
Senate chamber, in the presence of
both houses of Congress, of the Sn-
preme Court, high Officers of our army
and navy, and the representatives of
foreign nations, Vice-President Breck-
inridge, even then secretly committed
to treason against the Government he
had sworn to protect, pronounced Abra-
ham Lincoln diily and legally elected
President, and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-
President of the United States, surren-
dering his seat as President of the Sen-
ate to the latter, while the procession
reforms in the chamber and marches
out through the southern corridors,and
under the central dome and passes to
the platform for the delivery of the
inaugural address. -

The great iron cranes and derrieks
in use for the completion of the present
magnificent dome, stood like giant
spectral gibbits above the heads of the
assembled multitude as Lincoln bared
his head and began his ever-to-be-re-
membered address.

, Few and Winsome were the words he
said, before coming directly to the
burning issue transcending all others.
As he uttered the following sentences
his voice changed and deepened to
tones of pathetic tenderness and solem-
nity. The most fiery, maddened, reb-
el in all that vast audience, could not
doubt the utter sincerity of these fer-
vent words of the new President :—“I
have no purpose to interfere with the
institution of slavery in the States
where it exists. I believe I have no
lawful right to do so, and I have no in-
clination to do so. * , * * *

A disruption of the Federal Union
heretofore only menaced, is now for-
midably attempted. I hold _ that in
contemplation of universal law and of
the Constitution, the Union of the
States is perpetual. In every case and
exigency my best discretion will be ex-
ercised with a view and a hope of a

sympathies and affections. .. That. there

who seek to destroy the Union at-all
events, and are glad of a pretext to do
it, I will neither affirm nor deny; but
if there be such, I need address no
word to them. * * * To those,however,
who really love the Union. may I not
speak ? If the Almighty ruler of Na-
tions with His eternal truth and justice
befionyour side of the North,or on yours
of the South, that truth and that justice
will surely prevail. * i‘ * ‘Intelligence,
Patriotism,ZChristianity and a firm re-
liance on Him who never yet has for-
saken this favored land, are still com-
petent to adjust in the best way, all'
our present difficulties. In your hands
my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen and
not in mine, is the momentous issue of
Civil War. The Government will not
assail you. You can have no conflict
without being yourselves the aggres-
sors. You have no‘oath registered in
Heaven to destroy the Government,
while I shall have the most solemn one
to ‘preserve and protect and defend it.’
I am loth to close. We are not ene-
mies, but friends. We must not be
enemies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonds
of affection. The mystic chords of
Memory, stretching from every battle-
field and patriot grave to every living
heart and hearthstone, all over this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus of
Union, when again touched, as surely
they will be, by the better angels of
their nature.”

At the conclusion of this incompar-
able inaugural address, with solemn
face and mien, Lincoln turned to Chief
Justice Roger B. Taney, a special pet
of the South, and with uplifted hand
and eyes reverently turned Heaven-
ward, took the oath of office.

The procession reformed and Bu-
chanan courteously escorted Lincoln to
the White House, where he bid him a
cordial adieu. The soldiers presented
arms as President and Ex—President
withdrew. It was Lincoln’s first, and
Buchanan’s last military salute.

LONDON, June 1.—At Clerkenwell police
court an American, who gave his name as
General John Hewston, and . who is
charged with causing the death Of George
Burton, an itinerant musician, was re-
manded today on bail for one week. Hews-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.—General John
Hewston, who is charged with killing a
man in London, is one of the best known
of the old Californians. ,He came to San
Francisco in 1848 and went into the assay-
ing business. He was active in the vigi-
lante movement, being a noted athlete and
a man of bravery. He established the San
Francisco Metallurgical and Refining com-
pany. He accumulated a fortune in min-
ing operations, but after losing the greater
part of it he retired to his ranch in Ala—
medo county, and since then he has led
the quiet life of a lierdsmau. He was one
of the first to interest himself in club nth-
leticsjn the early days. and he had a. great
