DIR. Marx, German, appears to be the SUI
preme head of the European international So
cety. He resides in London, where his time is
wholly devoted to the affairs of the association
which he directs. The interyieweFs have been
somewhat attentive to him, since the downfall
of the Paris communists. He admits freely
that he was in communication with these an
archists, but denies that the leaders were all
members Of the international society. lFlou-
rens, Rigaut, Dombrowsky, Duval, Woblesky,
and Others however, were regular information
ais; and, in fighting the government OF Theirs,
the internatonals and the "reds' acted together
against common enemy" DIR. Marx seems
to have a very accurate knowledge of all the
principal actors connected with this alliance,
whether he knows them TO be members of his So
ciety or sees fit to profess uncertainty or lack of
knowledge on this point. In one of the inter
views. he expressed free and sharp opinions of
several of these leaders. Flourens, he said, was
always absolutely crazy when talking politics,
and was no more fit to lead an army than
child ten years old" Rossel was ambitious
and honest but did some very strange things"
Assy was ian idiot, and, many think, nt0d-
chard" La Cecilia was can ass and traitor"
Felix Pyatt was "a great blower and still
greater coward" He gave, also, his view of
some otherprominent Frenchmen. Victor Hugo
"follows his fancy, and can't be depended on"
Rochefort 'has some good points; but he is a
literary Bohemian, educated wholly on the
streets-a full grown gGnlir." This is not a
very hopeful view of the leaders who have pro-
posed to revolutonize and reconstruct the whole
civilized world.
DR.. Marx, while criticising Others in this sharp
way, shows no lack of co .IfideDce in himself.
He sits there in London, surveys with such
knowledge or lack of knowledge as he has, all
the nations which his internationals will take in
hand, and utters his DEGREES. He declares with
oracular confidence, that England will be the
first nation to come under their control, and
this first success will come ''soon." He is quite
sure of this, but AYERS that the internationals
will triumph there "in legal and lawful way
by act of parliament" and when they have Sc
cured this triumph, they will Immediately "set
aside the queen, abolish the lords, declare the
republic, and put all the great properties Of
every kind into the hands .of the state for the
benefit of all but the drones.' His plan is to
make the reorganized government do every
thing and take no very distinct account Of per-
sonal rights and powers, so far as concerns prop
erty. What rich opportunities this scheme
would provide for any Tammany ring,
which should get control of his "cOm-
munal" government Such a scheme,
fully carried out, would create Tammany rings
as naturally as a dead carcase creates carrion;
not to speak of what it is as scheme of robbery,
or of its inevitable tendency to destroy individ-
nal enterprise. DIR. Marx and his associates are
evidently dreamers, who have theories with but
little knowledge of the real wants Of the world
they live in. 1t appears that he himself has
never worked at anything but theorizing. For
this business he has great aptitude. One age
has "Babel builders" "millennial prophets" or
fifth monarchy men," another has DR.. Marx
and his "internationals." Meanwhile, the world
moves on, the higher law is never suspended
human progress never becomes unmeaning OF
capricious, and even the impracticabe dreamerS
are "building better than they know"
