News-Notes and Comments [excerpt]
In a report of a meeting of the Manhattan Liberal Club, New York, on Friday evening, Oct. 8, Emma Goldman is quoted as saying that, as an Anarchist, she was opposed to violence. She deplored the assassination of McKinley, and said that if the people want to do away with assassins they must do away with the conditions which produce murderers.

“Keep out the foreigners!” is now the cry. The United States is to be the home of natives, only, henceforth. Very well; but shall we also keep the “foreigners” (ourselves) out of the territory of other nations? The United States is large enough for its citizens. Let them remain at home instead of involving themselves and the nation in broils in the Philippines, in China, in Bulgaria. “Sauce for the goose” should be “sauce for the gander.”
