VOX. XXV.—NO. 47. ANARCHY ENEMY OF LIBERTY Archbishop Ireland Makes an Eloquent Ap peal for Passage of Federal Laws for Its Suppression. TIME TO LOOK TO LIVES AND HOMES Special to The Globe. CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 15.-In the name of liberty itself, Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, demanded this evening the passage of federal laws for the suppression of anarchism, the enemy of liberty. Speaking at the monthly dinner of the Merehantes' club, at Kinsleys, Archbishop Ireland specified three kinds of legisla tion to this end, each of which he re garded as essential to the welfare of the country. By the first, anarchist immi grants must be excluded. By the sec ond, the life of the chief executive must be effectually protected. By the third, the formation of plots on American soil against the lives of foreign rulers must be prohibited, and in case congress has no authority for such legislation the archbishop saw his way forward, unhes itatingly. "Let the constitution be so amended that this authority be allowed it beyond a . he said.

Died erich, of Bremen, made a speech at the twentieth annual dinner of the Navi gators' Guide at Bremen yesterda;- even- Ing, that has been more talked of today than any other incident connected with Prince Henry's departure. Mr. Dlederlch, after dwelling on various reasons f< r amity between Germany, the United States and Great Britain, said: "Prince Henry is not going to America to establish a new alliance of iriendship; but to give renewed expression to the old, friendly relations natural to vie triple relationship of Germany, England and America. Here is a dreibund created by neaven, and not by the arts of diplomacy. The groat sections of the Germanic people should be united in close ties of friendship, for the advancement of peace and civilization." Mr. Diederich's remarks, were cheered tremendously. When the "Ladies" were :oast€d the name of Bliss Alice Roosevelt was heartily cheered. Prince Henry was unable to be present at the dinner, owing to ihe preparations being maue for his departure _or the United States.

Speaking of America and approaching closely to the question of anarchy, he said: "If anywhere it be a hideous crime to seek to wreck civil society, it is so in a manner unspeakable when civil society is wrapped in the folds of the starry banner; when civil society is named the American republic." The applause had not died out before he began to talk eloquently of a time when "the chief magistrate of the republic was stricken to death by the act of. a vile assassin." Then he referred to the mur ders within seven years, in Europe, of a president of the French republic, a prime minister of Spain, an empress of Austria and a king of Italy, and continued: "It is time that we look to our lives and cur homes; to our most precious in heritances and take measurer: to ward from them the peril of death.

Henry's Visit a Tribute of German Affection. BERLIN, Feb. 15.—The Cologne Gazette devotes a lengthy editorial to the depart ure of Prince Henry on his visit to the United States. It says: "Prince Henry goes to express the em peror's great sympathies with the racially related American people and his frank recognition of their healthy and powerful development. The great masses of the German people share with their ruler in that sympathy and recognition. Prince Henry is in Germany a popular personage and his subordinates would go through fire for him. iue Geman people are at tached with pride and reverence to the prince admiral. Emperor William has followed the splendid development of American ship building with the liveliest interest. There is no yacht swift enough for him and he has repeatedly given comissions to German and British builders to make him a swift sailing yacht and has now com missioned an American yard to do the work, in the conviction that Americans build fhe best of which marine architect ure is capable. His majesty, free from envy, pays high tribute to American in dustry, and it is proof that he yields the palm to American builders. He asks the president's daughter to christen the new yacht and sends his brother to witness the launching and this unreserved recog nition is in a high degree honorable to the United States and to the emperor alike. ADMIRALS OF TWO XATIOXS. Count yon Baudissin and "Bob Evans Hob-Xob Together. • NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Rear Admiral Count yon Baudissin, of the Hohenzol lerh, inspected the German emperor's yacht Meteor at Shooters Island today and expressed the highest admiration of the vessel. Before visiting the yacht the admiral called upon Rear Admiral Rob ley D. Evans on board the battleship Il linois. Count yon Baudissin, accompanied by Capt. yon Holleben, Lieut, yon Haxthau sen. Consul General Buenz. left the Ho henzollern and boarded the navy yard tug Narkeeta, which had been sent in charge of Capt. Clifford West, U. S. N., to convey them to the Illinois. As the Narkeeta approached the battleship the admiral was greeted with the customary salute of thirteen guns, and at the gang way ho was met by Admiral Evans and his Staff, the marine guard saluting and the band playing the German national anthem. It was Admiral Baudissin's first visit to an American battleship, and he made a careful inspection, declaring her to be a magnificent example of the most ad vanced naval architecture. After an hour the visitors, accompanied by Admiral Evans, Flag Lieutenant Chapin and Mr. Wallace Downey, a mem ber of the firm constructing the yacht, again boarded the Narkeeta and started for Shooters Island. There the party was met by officials of the company and Cary Smith, the designer of the yacht, under whose direction the admiral made a close inspection of the vessel. ■- - ;- i <' -^^^^^^^^ fr ':*MS9N ..- . ■ ' i -■» - i ,<■. - - r i '-V< , -'.

['.■■'■'■ ', 's LONDON, Feb. 15.—Chile's proposal to. the Boera to settle in Chile has led * to some discussion in London as to the pos sibility of a considerable migration of the Burghers after the contest of the two republics is complete. No doubt many of them will prefer to leave South Africa in view of the altered political condition. Emigration to Chile, however, Is not regarded as probable in view of the fact that the Boers are ranchmen rather than farmers. Many of their friends here think that if they decide to leave their native land the best alternative would be Texas or New Mexico. Dutchmen thrive in the United States . and even attain to the presidency. The Teutonic element in the North American Union is one of its best elements, and has quickly absorbed the American theory of government and social life. Hence, say the advocates of a Boer immi gration to the American southwest, the Dutch Africander would there repeat the history of the Dutch who founded New Amsterdam.

MOORHEAD, Minn., Feb. 15.— ... A. G-ates, agent for the board of control, locked horns with the Cass county, North Dakota, insanity board at Fargo today over the case of Ole Helseth, who was recently declared insane anu brought to Minnesota by the North Dakota authori ties. Helseth was taken to Ottertail coun ty by a Cass county deputy sherirt, after he has been examined in Fargo, and dumped. He never had acquired a residence in Minnesota and if he belongs in any other state than North Dakota it is in Wiscon sin, but the Nor.-i. Dakota authorities refuseo. to take him to his old home near F.au Claire, because it was more expen sive than to load him upon Minnesota and let this state settle with Wisconsin. Helseth has a sister, Mrs. Johnson, living in Fargo, and there app-ears to be no question that he should be cared for in North Dakota. The Cass county board peremptorily re fused to take care of the unfortunate man and Mr. Gates delivered him at the Great Northern depot in Fargo and noti fied Judge of Probate Roberts, tie also informed him that Helseth would be re turned to North Dakota as often as the authorities of that state attempted to place him upon Minnesota territory. GREATLY DISAPPOINTED LACK OF INTEREST IX M'KIXLEY MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. Special to Tlie Globe. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Members of the McKinley Memorial association are greatly disappointed at the lack of in terest en the part of the general public so far as contributions are received. So far only a little more than $200,0Q9 has been reported to the national execuSve committee. It is believed that the con tributions which have not been reported will swell this sum to nearly $200,000, but that amount is scarcely one-tenth of what was expected. A meeting of the national executive committee will be held here Feb. 2G, at which will be discussed the necessary change in plans. One of the members of the committee said that undoubtedly the project of a monument costing nearly $200, --000 would be changed, and the commit tee would arrange to have one built which would be paid for by the subscrip tions in sight.

D., Feb. 15.—The suicide of Joseph Hall, of Vermillion, has revealed a love romance which is not without its pathetic features. It has been ascertained that Hall had a sweetheart living in North Carolina. Hearing of his death she wrote to Mayor Hanson ask ing for full information concerning his death. In the letter she stated that herself and Hall were to have been married this spring. Their engagement resulted from a newspaper advertisement, neither evar having seen the other. Kail, a short time before his death, had written her that he had $500 in the bank; that his Ufa had been insured for -lU.UGO payable to her, and that an employer owed him ?3CO, but that he n< 1 him in collc-ctir.s the sum by a lawsuit.

Prince Ukhtomsky, whose intimacy with the czar is well known, says in the St. Petersburg Ga zette: "Against public opinion in the United Skates, and especially against the inter ests of American exporters of metal prod ucts, Secretary Gage ; with the consent o£ President McKinley, imposed illegal and unjust duties on Russian sugar and there .by almost destroyed the flourishing ma chine trade between Russia and the Unit ed States." He predicted that the influence of finan cial combinations in all departments of American official life is so powerful that "the interests of the people will be over whelmed and the useless Russp-American tariff war will abide Indefinitely.'"

The Globe correspon dent has been assured by a high dig nitary that Leo will never commit the mistake ef plunging the Roman church into the dispute which would assuredly take place should he appoint a successor, because the college of cardinals at his death would proceed to exercise their canonical right to elect a new pontiff and thus create the anomaly of a pope con fronteu by an anti-pope.

B. DOUGLAS, DEMOCMGr FIRED WITH HOPE Thrilling Words Uttered by Splendid Lead ers at Brooklyn Tilden Celebration, BOURKE COCKRAN IS OPTIMISTIC NEW YORK, Feb. Democrats prominent in this and other sections of the country met at dinner by invitation of the Brooklyn Democratic club at the Germania Club rooms in Brooklyn tonight to do honor to the memory of Samuel VJ. Tilden. Three hundred and fifty men sat at the tables. President Herman A. Metz presided, and seated near him were for mer ' Gov. Robert E. Pattison, of Penn sylvania: W. Bourke Cockran, Represent ative David A. De Armond, of Missouri; Edward M. Shepard, John E. Redmond, Lewis Nixon, Justice William J. Gaynor and ex-Comptroller Coler. Representative James Hay, of Virginia, who had been expected to speak, was unable to appear owing to illness in his family. President Metz read a number of let ters of regret. They were as follows: Westland, Princeton, N. J., Feb. 7, 1902. —I am sorry that I must forego the pleasure of join.ng the Brooklyn Demo cratic club and its invited guests in cele brating the birthday of Samuel J. Tllden, on the 15th insr. At a time whan the beneficence arid sufficiency of the principle:; of pure De mocracy command themselves so plainly to our countrymen who are honest-mind ed, and at a time ''when. Democratic op portunity so palpably awaits their sturdy an£l w consistent advocacy, it is especially appropriate that those who profess our party faith should celebrate this anniver sary with enthusiasm. In any effort to ' put the Democratic ship upon its true course, llgJat ami in spiration will be afforded by a contem plation of the career of the great leader Yvho, resisting every strange tenfiptatOn and all false light's, steadfastly followed the old-and safe landmarks of Democratic doctrine, and those who sincerely labor for a return, of Democratic triumphs will find their strongest hope and encourage ment in recalling the victories won unuei the standard which Samuel J. Tilden held aloft. Yours truly, —Grovti-r Cleveland. Strong Words Prom Oisi~>. Though unable to attend the ex< of the Brooklyn Democratic club, on the lf.th inst., 1 recognize their inter instance venture to suggest, and at instanct venture to surest the follow ing sentment as pertinent to tbe occa sion: i The memory of Samuel J. Tilden—not only a wife and resourceful party leader, but a statesman of the first rank. His patriotism was pure and ardent, his knowledge ol political science profound, Ms conviction of the superiority of tne American people, and in the efficacy of is to their reason and conscience iiided. With fci.-n the distinctively American ideals—government only by consent of the governed—no taxation without representation, nor except for the actual needs of the government—per sonal liberty and freedom of speech lim ited only by that order which Is heaven's first law—equal opportunities under gov ernment for all without favoritism for either individuals or classes—these things with him did not resolve themselves into mere sounding' phrases, running tripping ly from the tongue to catch the ears of the groundlings. They were principles by which political action was to ba guided and political aims and aspirations to be determined. Though a revolution in our farm of government may not yet be on foot, the plain tendencies of the policies and measures of the dominant party since the outbreak of the Spanish war is to destroy the ideals which were once the peculiar glory of the American people, and the loss, o* vrhicii makes governmental form of but sight moment. The_ Democratic party, at this hour and at a critical stage of the national life, can in no other wav deserve po well of the country and of the human race as by reaffirming its a!lec'*nce to the vital fea tures of our American policy and by de claring its unwavering opposition to every attenrmt to eliminate or emasculate them. Very truly yours. — Richard Olney. William Jennings Bryan wrote from Lincoln, Neb.: "I thank you for the invitation and re gret that I' cannot be with you on the occasion of your dinner in commemora tion of the -birthday of Samuel J. Til den." David Hill's Fine Tribule. Writing from Wolfert's Roost, Albany, David Bennet Hill said, in part: "I knew Mr.»Tilden well and intimacy and regarded Rim as one of tfee foro:.*tf"t men of his time, whose unsullied career reflected credit upon the country and hon or upon his party. I followed his leader ship when he was alive, and I cherish his memory now that he is dead. He was a student of public questions; an aole statesman; a profound thinker; a saga cious politician, and a cautious and pru dent political adviser who made few mis takes. He was -always conciliatory—al ways courteous—always just. He sought to guide his party nn right lines and ia honest paths. His war upon corruption in New York city in 1871-71', his overthrow of the notorious canal ring in the state in 1575, and his victory for hard money in the Democratic national convention of 1876 were among his most notable achieve ments. He believed in honest politics, wholly divorced :'rom business interests. With high conceptions of public duty he regarded every citizen, especially every young man—as under obligation to take an active part in public affairs, and not leave the direction of politics to those who would use them for mercenary and selfish purposes. If he was ambitious it was in the hope of accomplishing some thing for genera! welfare. "'This is my brief description of Tilden •" ■ ■ ■ • CAPT. C. C. WHITNEY. PRICE FIVE CENTS. —his high ideals and lofty purposes. Our party should profit by the sampl-j of his great career and steadily maintain the principles which he so ably championed in his public papers and speeches and sa v.ell exemplified in his official and pri vate life." There was a postscript to Mr. Bryan's letter which read: "Enclosed editorial on. 'Steadfastness' will serve as a sentiment m case you desire one." The iirst paragraph of the editorial said: "A party must have principles or it can have no claim on public confldenca, and how can it commend its principles better than by standing by them? \7*i'6 will have faith in the creed of a party if the party stands ready to barter away itg creed in exchange for a promise of pat ior.age? A halting, hesitating, vacillating course not only fails to invite recruits, tout alienates and drives away veterans Ihe party that has no higher purpose than to save its own life will die because it oeseives to die; the party that is will ing to die, if need be, for the sake of a great cause, will live because it deserves to live." Following a brief welcome by Chairman Metz Ex-Gov. Pattison spoke, deprecat ing the policy of the ms in their treatment of Cuba, Pore.) Ri o and the Philippines. Congressman Do Armond spoke in the same strain, and Lewis Nix on, Tammany Hall's 1 ad . for a united Democracy in Brooklyn.

Hope From tTxe Past. i( "It ■ems to me," began Mr. Coekran, 'that at this time when many men bo lieve the disasters which have overtaken the Democratic party portcni its final collapse, we will hcnor Tll&en's memory most fittingly by recalling how. he led it from disasters even more crushing thirty years ago to a series of brilliant victories and a long season of patriots useful ness. If there be any difference in the conditions of the Democratic party at the..•.inning- of 1902 and its conditions at the clow of 3872. it Is that its prospects are now less desperate than they seemed to be then. In 1872 the Democrats ma-dc an alliance with an offshoot of th Re publican party, and the renewal of the experiment has resulted in a repetition of the experience. The repeal of the party then was so over whelming that its -final destruction wag announced by the opposition just as Re publican orators and newspapers ■■ affect to believe that its extinction hag been irrevocably decreed by recent reverses. "Republican ascendancy seemed so se cure that'in-1874 it was difficult to find a candidate: who would accept. The cam paign proceeded amid an apathy charac terized of foregone and inevitable conclu sion, hardly a meeting was held, scarcely a bet was recorded, the utmost that the n.Qc-t sanguine Democrat hoped to ac complish was the reduction of the Re. publican majority, yet when the votes were counted at the end of a listless . election, it v.as found that the ground on. which the Republicans rested in con fidence had been torn as if by an earth quake and was succeeded by a revolution bewildering in its completeness. The house of representatives, which had been overwhelmingly Republican, became Democratic by an equal preponderance. States wlrch had been loyal to the Re publicans ever since its foundation elect ed Democrats. Even Massachusetts and Pennsylvania broke loose from their Re publican moorirg, while in this state the majority of 50.000 cast for Dix in 1872 was reversed and Samuel J. Tilden was elect ed governor by a majority of almost equal proportions. The party which had been pi enounced dead awoke to a new life. "During the twenty years which fol lows 1, the Democracy elected its candi date for the presidency three times a net twice it inaugurated him. It controlled the house of representeJJvea continuously, with the exception of two congiesses."" History May Hejieat Itself. Mr. Crckrar. then asked if it was un nable to expect what had happened before might not happen again. He pointed out that if the Democracy wished to win in 1904 it must accept the lesson taught by Tilden's leadership in. 1874. "Our opponents differ on important topics more than we Go, but with Re publicans divergence on topics his never interfered with their quest of office. Their speeches show radical conflict on every public question; on reciprocity, on ship subsidies, on imperialism., on the retention of the Philippines, on tho treat ment of Cuba, yet these differences hava never hindered them, and never will hin der them from supporting unitedly and enthusiastically the party candidate." Differences in the Parties. "Tho reason," continued the speaker, "why divisions of opinions do not preven* Republicans' from remaining united at the polls, while differences much lessf serious .suffice to tear the democracy into ins and reduce it to impotence, \i perfectly plain. Republicans are in pol< itics for themselves; Democrats for theil country. RepuDlicans profess principles to power; Democrats seek power to en' fcrce principles. "Republicans allow nothing to interfen with success in getting possession of ot flee; Democrats will sacrifice all pros pects of office rather than suppress ol compromise an opinion."
