From Wednesday's Herald.
Hon. James M. Griggs, our Immedi
ate representative in Congress, Is In A1
haoy today, and a representative of the
fiSRALD ancoeeded ln having him do
something that ho rarely does—talk for
publication.
‘ Ot course J ndgo Griggs was asked for
an opinion on the attempted assassins
lion of the President and tlm many tog
*e*tioqs that are now being made for
suppressing anarchism and ridding the
country of anarobistn, and the popular
and brainy Oongreteman talked no freely
and nennlbly on a nnbject now claiming
poblto oondlderatlott that he was asked
for permission to pnbllsli Ills viewB.
Knowing that ha was In friendly hands
and that he woald not be misrepresent
ed, he consented.
"I am delighted to leurti of President
HoKlnley's convalescence, and I sin
cerely hope that hie recovery may bo
sapid and oertnlu," said the afTable
Congressman.
••Thero In no placo on earth for orlmi-
m
gWV
sals like Czolgosz, and I shall be more
than willing to support any legislation
leading to the complete wiping ontof
anarohy, bnt we must he very careful
Chat onr efforts in this direction sre not
themselves snhverslvo of free govern
ment. TJiero Is considerable hysteria in
Irnaoh of the talk on this subject just
•now, due to the natural excitement fol
lowing the murderons assault on tho
President.
"There is much regret throughout the
coontry over tho foot that in the event
cI the President's reoovery, his assailant
aan only bo given tho comparatively
light punishment for assault with In
tent tq murd.r. I have never believed
that the penalty for assault to mnrder
' yras commensurate with' tho magnitude
ct tho offense. Tho only difforonoe In
law and In (aat between murder and as
sault with intent to murder Is in the re-
• solt. The luteut nnd the not of the as
sailant ore the <ame In both cates, and
only the good fortnno of the petson
thus assaulted reduces the crime from
murder. I have never been able to com
prehend why this good Inok of the in-
jared party should be so generously
shared with tho criminal. I do not
mean to any that the penalty ehould be
Abe sumo iu both oases. The dlfferenao
In resalt groatly lessons the actnal
wrong done, and of oourse ought to
lessen the pnuisbmout—net, howovor,
Do tho extent which now prevntls.
••Juries ought to be given a wide
range of discretion in fixing the pnntsh-
<ment from a short Imprisonment to a
i mooh longer, term than the law now
• permits anywhere.
“Anarchy nud anarchists ought to be
suppressed, bat I do not favor special
enaetments covering ossnnlts on the
President or any other pnblio official.
The same law whioh protects the ham-
blest citizen ought to be strong enough
for the protection ol the highest func
tionary.
■"Besides, sncli a law would he luef-
' (saliva for good. Tho anarchist is a
fanatto. He deliberately plans assess!
nation with a vlow to the accomplish
ment of some purpose. He knows that
the penalty of success is death, nnd that
ialtnro moans a vory light punishment,
but lie rejoices in success and bemoans
failure. If, knowing the penalty of
success, lie regrets failure, I am nnahle
to sea how u change in tho law would
operate to deter him from the proseou-
- hull of his diabolical purpose.
■''And whore would such legislation,
once begun, end? It would not be
long before the need of special legisla
tion for tho protection of cabinet bill.
cors, senators, congressmen, governors
and legislators would be felt, and we
should soon have all of our public olfl.
dais 'hwigod about with divinity.’
"For one, I do not believe iu the di
vine right ot kingB or public officials.
Special enactments sncli as have been
suggested from many quarters would
ho along step in the direction of recog-
Biaang this right, and, therefore, dan-
geloasly subversive of free government.
The difficulty in punishing anarchy lies
in the diffioulty of defining the crime,
From Tuesday's Daily Herald.
With a lead of six points over com
pany K, Albany Guards firsttcam, bom.
pany G, Albany Guards first team won
tho »S0 cosh prize matoh on the Albany
rifle range this morning.
There were six teams entered in tho
match, which wus the first match of the
rifle shoot now in progress on the A1
bany rifle range. The six teams which
entered the matoh were the first and
second teams of cofupsny G, Albany
Guards, tho first and seconds teams of
oompauy B, Albany Guards, a team
from company K, Thomasvllie Guards,
and a team from company L, Amerions
Light Infantry.
Tho teams began shooting yesterday
morning and only concluded, the shoot
ing at the known distances yosterdny af
ternoon, the skirmish having been run
this morning. Ool. George T. Ouun,
Inspector General of Rilie Practice for
tho Georgia state troops, arrived in the
aity this morning nnd is noting as chief
range officer today. He ran tho squads
on the skirmish this morning.
Tho contest for tho first prize of $50
was characterized , by oxtremoly poor
shooting on tho part of almost all the
men. This is ascribed to several causes,
ohief of which is the poor ammuuit'nn
whioh is toing used in tho shoot. 1 he
extreme heat in the middle of the dev
is another reason, the men say, why
their shooting is not np to thoir usual
standards.
Below are given tho scores of the
teams whioh competed for tho $50 prize:

I have for a long time believed that our
immigration laws ought to be amend

of all persons who would become oifci-

It now seems possible that the whole

Henry M. Bigelow, of Boston, who is
said to represent the syndicate that is

arrived early yesterday morning from
Nashville, and will leave today for Bir

From Wednesday’s Herald.
The first annual rifle tournament of
the Fourth Georgia regiment was con
cluded yesterday on the Albany range.
Tho last match shot was for two
prizes, companies E and G, Albany
Guards, enteriug au expert and u novice
team each, and company L, Amerious
Light Infautry, entering a novice team.
All teams competed for the regimental
trophy and the novice teams for a $25
cash prize.
The match was closely contested
throughout. The expert teams and
company L’s novice team completed
their scores, hut the novice teams of the
two Albany companies could not reach
the skirmish run before dark. They
wound up rheir part of the contest this
morning, company E’s team winning
the $25 prize with a handsome margin
of something like forty points. The
Herald was notuble to procure the offi
cial score this morning.
Company G’s first team won both the
prizes for which they oontested. Yes
terdny’s Herald told of the result of
the $50 cash prize matoh. According
to this report, company G won with 0
points. We should have stated that the
margin was 1(5 points, Sergeant Morris
having made a total of 110 instead of
120 poin;s.

teams which completed their scores yes

Th» Joiner medal, offered by
Mr. .1.
W. Joiner for the best individual sooro
at 200 and 300 yards, made in any of the
matohes, was won by Sergeant T. W.
Vonthiett, of Company G, with a score
of 41).
The $10 cash prize, offered for the
highest score made in any match by a
rifleman who had never qualified either
aH a marksman or sharpshooter, was won
by Private S. M. Page, of company G,
who made 183 at 200, 300, 500 and 600
yards and the skirmish. Private Page
also won the Coles medal, also open only
to those iu the novice class, for tho
highest soore at 500 and 600 yards. Pri
vate Page won this medal with a Bcore
of 62.
The scores on both days of the shoot
wero unusually low, dne largely to a
constantly varying wind, and to the
government ammunition, loaded ten
years ago, which was used in all the
contests.
There was great disappointment on
ucoonntof the failure of eight compa
nies of the Fourth regiment and other
troops of the state to send teams. Most
of those expected sent their regrets at
the eleventh honr, after all preparations
for their entertainment had been com
pleted. It is hoped that 1 another year
will find the other companies of tie
Fourth regiment, at least, more willing
to encourage a regimental rifle tourna
ment.
