Deputy Police Commissioner
ooda has a statement of, some
length which a policeman succeed
ed iu getting from Selig Silverstein,
the I'uion Square bomb thrower,
ou Friday morning when Silver
stein seemed to be in good spirits.
Silvernteiu, in answer to a question,
said that he could see with bis
right eye aud that he knew the po
liceman. The policeman asked him then
what he had made the bomb of, aud
Silverstein said that the cawing had
been made from the brans knob of
a bedstead. This bad been filled
with a quarter of a pound of nails,
over which he bad put a quarter of
a pound of gunpowder, then nitro
glycerine aud then more gunpow
der. "I walked to the park," said Sil
verstein, "and there I saw the po
lineman who had beaten me a week
before. I carried a lighted cigar
ette with which to light the bomb,
but when I put it to the bomb I
put it in the wrong place and the
bomb went off too soon."
"Did you know Ililderbrandtt"
the policeman asked.
"No, I never saw him at all,"
replied Silverstein. He said that
he knew Alexander Iterkinan and
also Emma Goldman, lie bad
made one other bomb, be said, but
when questioned abont it he be
came sullen and refused to talk
further.
Silverstein was conscious last
night, but bis temperature was

considered remarkable at Bellevue.

The Landmark Stands Square, and
We Have Nothing Agin' It
lUMHIk Laadaark.
The Landmark disxents from The
Journal's statement that "if a pub-
lie man roes before the people and
talks it (predatory wealth) in lan
guage that can generally be under
stood and appreciated, he is brand
ed as a demagogue." If the man
shows by his actions and his eon
duct, as well as by his words that
he is in earnest and that he is not
talking for effect to prejudice the
people for a selbsh purpose con
servative and seusible iieople will
grant him honesty of purpose, uo
matter if they disagree with him,
Of course, predatory wealth and its
beneficiaries see no goon in any
body or anythiug that objects to its
methods.
There are two extremes. On the
one hand are the people who rail
without reason agaiust corporations
alt corporations. They do not
always offer a specific remedy or
any remedy, but are jnst "agin"
these things; and if a remedy is ap
plied it is often so severe that those
who realize fully the need of re
striction realize also the injustice
of the remedy and refuse to be a
party to it Take the reduction of
railroad rates, for instance, lue
Landmark thought a reduction
should be made, but it thought it
the wise and safe course not to rut
too deep at the first pass; that it
were better to make a rate of 2 j or
oot less thau 2) aud if, after a trial,
it was seen that another reduction
could be made, to make it. But a
strong element in the legislature
fought for a 2 cent rate and would
hear to nothing else. Finally the
2J- rate was agreed on. The result
is history. The 2 might not have
been too low had not a panic come
along, but the litigation, the tur
moil and strife on account of the
rate, the extra session of the legis
lature and the change of rate, all of
which might have been avoided by
a little more conservatism in the
beginning, has strengthened the po
sition of the railroads to such au
extent, has gaiued so much sympa
thy for them from the nutsses, that
it will for some time be more dim-
cult to remedy abuses that every
body admits exist And thus as
we see it in this case, extreme meth
ods have not helped a really just
cause, but have hurt it
The Landmark realizes fully that
the railroads were and are at fault,
and it has said so again aud again.
Iustead of trying to satisfy thejost
demauda on them, they have appa
rently at times done things that in
tensified the feeling; iustead of
agreeing to a reasonable reduction
they opposed all reduction, aad this
doubtless caused many people to
vote for the low rate who really
thought it unjust But the fact that
the railroads or other corporations
do wrong does out excuse us from
being (air and just The remedy
applied should be severe enough to
compel all offending corporations
to do right, but it only results to
their advantage if it is so severe as
to take from them w hat is justly
theirs and thus gain sympathy for
them. If The Landmark stands
conspicuous for any one thing it is
for such a rigid enforcement or all
laws and regulations as will teach
those disposed to offend that offend
ing means punisbmeut Hut there
is a proper line of demarkation.
To The Journal's statement that
the man who talks about predatory
wealth or corporate abuses in lan
guage that can be understood is de
nounced as a demagogue, 1 be Land
mark could truthfully answer that
those of us who do not Join in the
violent denunciation of these tblugs
or heartily approve every measnre
launched against tbem, are de
nounced as enemies of the people
and hirelings of the trusts and cor
porations, no matter how earnestly
we may favor the reforms aimed at
nor how we may have shown our
earnestness by our works. The
Landmark, for instance, Has never
failed to speak in strong language
against the encroachments of cor
porate wealth, it has not railed at
Wall street and wealth generally,
but it has pointed out the effect of
these encroachments here at home.
It has not only fought the Bell tel
ephone monopoly because it affect
ed its own community aud section,
but it has, in plain language, called
attention to the fact that the Stand
ard Oil Company and the tobacco
trust have bought and are buying
public aentimeutin North Carolina
by donations to colleges, cuurcnes,
etc. It has not only called atten
tion to the wrongful and oppressive
practices of the railroads, the ex
press companies and the telegraph
companies, but it has pointed out
how these concerns were gaining
footholds (including the telephone
monopoly) by giving favors to
newspapers and influential people
who wonld accept tbem. e say
these things not boastfully bnt with
modesty, and every reader of this
paper knows they are true. Ihe
Landmark receives no favors from
the railroads nor any of these mo
nopolies, and yet because it does
not fall In with the tierce denunci
atlon of the Southern railway and
sometimes says a word in favor of
being fair to all Interests, the psper
la of course classed by the extreme
element as standing with the cor
porations against the "pee-pnl."
Is it any wonder that some pub
lio men and newspapers are de
nounced as demagogues when it is
known that while they rail at some
one or a few corporations which it
happens to be popular to denounce,
they are beneficiaries of others equ
ally as harmful! Is it any wonder
that their sincerity is questioned
when it is known that while they
j fiercely denounce the Southern rail
way, for instance, they are getting
! free service or reduced rates from
the Bell Telephone Company, or
' have franks for free express or tel
egraph service, or are attorneys for
oue or more of such corporation!
We have been told that one of the
prominent men of the State who is
most violent against the railroads
is attorney for telephone and ex
press companies and has used his
iutiuence to save these from legis
lative restrictions. We don't know
this to be a fact; if we did we would
call his name. But while be de
nounces those who do not agree
with him about railroad legislation
as hirelings of the trusts and mo
nopolies, bow can be be respected
if at the same time be is using his
powers, for pay, to help other mo
nopolies oppress the people!
This article is already too long,
and we haven't time to discuss ful
ly the other extreme mentioned.
That extreme is represented by
those who think corporate wealth
should have full sway, practically
without restrictions; that the peo
ple should not only permit them
selves to be oppressed, not to say
robled, but that they should return
thanks for the privilege. This ex
treme appears, in a measure at
least to have been expressed by
Mr. Moses Cone in his introduction
of the editor of the Manufacturers'
Record at a banquet in Greensboro
Friday night
Between these twoextremes there
is, as the Landmark sees it, a hap
py middle ground on which there
is justice aud fairness. The Land
mark will go as far as anybody
and it offers its record as evidence
in resisting the encroachments of
corporate wealth which so serious
ly menace our Institutions. But it
stands for justice, as it sees the
right, for all men and all things.
The Reason of It.
rmli) Irrlan Standard.
- The whiskey legislature before
the people in our State for adop
tion or rejection is not designed to
cut off any legitimate use of whis
key. The law, in fact will not cut
off such use of it, even if it should
be euforced perfectly. It is the
abuse, not the use, that is in con
templation by all fair minded aud
intelligent people. We know of no
0en resolve or disposition among
educated church people to subject
to discipline those who vote against
the legislature at Issue. As the
matter lies in our own mind, bow-
ever, it is strange that there should
be a moment or oesitation atoui
making a decision to vote for the
measure, in the case of any well in
formed and good man. The arrest
and suppression of what men are
doing things universally conceded
to be innocent In themselves has
in all time been found necessary for
the general weal of man. The run
ning of a grist mill by water power
made or increased by ponding the
water of a stream, is certainly a
legitimate business. But at the
moment it is ascertained that the
pond affects the health of the neigh
borhood, then in the eye of the law
it Is illegitimate, and is ordered to
be stopped. That the saloon is a
source of great evil iu the commu
nity should not be denied, and can
not be denied successfully in the
light of facts, and ought to be for
bidden, is the contention of a ma
jority of good citizens and all the
women perhaps in the State, lne
principle runs in application
through all life, private as well as
public, aud is beautiful. When a
parent finds his child readily
tempted to do what hurts it, he re
moves the tomptatiou. It Is the
prompting of love. In myriads of
ways men, not in the form or law
bnt in ways of their own devising,
are seen removing temptations from
those they love. The thought is
cruel which sue treats leave the
temptations and let the loved one
settle it in personal contest witn
their evil appetites. This is not in
keeping with the prayer our Savior
taught us to pray, nor the lire 1'aui
enjoined ns to lead. The saloon is
a great temptation to drink to ex
cess, and the suffering victims of
its power are for the most part In
favor of its abolition.

School Prank Cause a Father to'
Shoot ft is Daughter and rtimscl'.
A-ttlh i.trb. l-lh
Knragrdat his Ill-year old daugh
ter, Nellie, because of a harmless
school girl prank. Dr. C. O. Swin
uey, who recently came here from
Nw York, liied two shots at her,
fatally wouutliug ber, and then
turning the revolver on himself,
placed the muule in his mouth and
' pulled the trigger, dying almost in
stantly. Badly wounded as sne
was, with two bullets embedded in
her skull, Miss Swiuuey ran from
' the room and upotairs to the prin
cipal's room before she fell.
The tragedy occurred in the re
reptiou room of the Normal and
j Collegiate Institute, a large girls'
hourding school in this city, where
Miss Saiuuey had been a pupil for
the lust sresiou. Just what oc
curred prior to the shooting is not
known, as there were no witnesses,
aud the girl, while still conscious,
could give but a vague account
Dr. S inner, who up to a few
years ago had been a promineut
physician iu New York city, has
for some time past been in poor
health, and of late, it is alleged, his
mind has been unbalanced.
Keceutly bis daughter was one of
a number of the school girls who,
an an April fool joke, absented
themselves from school, aud the
father brooded over the little esca
pade uutil it assumed to him the
proportions of actual wrong-doing.
When Dr. Swinuey called on his
daughter at the school this after
noon about 3 o'clock, he was shown
into the receptiou room, aud a few
minutes later his daughter came
dowu and went into the room, clos
ing the door behind her. She sat
down at the piano, ber father sit
ting beside her. Half an hour later
girls aud teachers were startled by
four shots ringing out aud a sec
ond afterwards Miss Swinuey, with
hlood streaming from the wounds
iu her head, came rushing from the
room. In a few minutes the wild
est confusion reigned, school girls
and women teachers running here
and there, but Miss Robinson, the
principal, sjieedily restored order
and hastily summoned a physician.
Miss Swinuey was desperately
wounded and there is little chance
lor ber recovery. The room in
which the tragedy occurred showed
signs of a hard struggle. Chairs
were overturned and the piano
stool, with one leg broken, was ly
ing iu the middle of the room. The
fattier was lying ou the tloor, atone
side of the room, face downward
with the revolver, with four cham
bers empty, under him.
The attempted murder and sui
cide were evidently deliberately
planned, as ln-fore going to the
school Dr. Swiuney bought a revol
ver and two rounds of cartridges at
a pawn shop.
Although it is said his mind has
been unbalanced for some time, he
had never been violent aud bis fam
ily was totally unprepared for the
dreadful tragedy. He was a father
in-law of Dr. J. O. Sinclair, a prom
inent deutist of this city, and since
his return from New York a few
weeks ago, Dr. Swinney bad made
his home with him.
Tore Down the Jail.
Islington lMpatrh.
Down at Wendell, Wake county,
two men were locked up iu the jail
Friday night for drunkenness and
lighting. Some time during the
night they tore down the jail and
weut home. Next morning they
presented themselves before the
mayor with the apology that they
were "just obliged to have a drink
of water," and accordingly demol
ished the jail.
It reminds oue of a fellow at
High Point who went to the chief
of police aud asked him to rent the
calaboose for a blacksmith shop, as
it was in a good location for such
au industry, and "you don't seem
to ueed it much."
"One Touch of Nature
Makes the Whole World Kin." When
a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls
all the hens in the tarm yard to come

nature is to be observed when a mao

he wauta all his friends and neigh
bors to share the benefits of his discov
ery. This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This ei
