THE COMMUNE IN AMERICA.

By recent accounts received from
New York. Chicago. and other Of the
large Eastern cities, it Is appsrsnt that
q formidable organization Of ln%terns-
tlonals or Communists IL In existence.
Ii IA alleged that In New York city
this organization numbers sver 1900
men. we'll drilled and supplied with
arms and ammunitisn. For weeks
pas, the police Of that city have been
fearful ola bloody RIOT and most strin-
gent measures have been taken to pro-
vent any large assembly OF these men
from meeting. Recently q public
meeting OF the w~orkingmen, rs they
call themselves. was called TO take
place In Tompkins Square. The cir
culsrs distributed bore Impress OF their
origin. being signed by several Of the
most turbulent and vicious members
Of this direful equalization. The
meeting was prohibited by the city au-
thoritles, a large force OF police was
on hand at the time designated, and rs
the crowd began to gather numerous
arrests were made, Involving some
hard lighting and bloodshed. In CHI
cago only a few days since, a mob OF
men, armed with all manner Of weap-
ons, assembled before the Mayors Of
flee, and with fierce ge%stlculation' de-
manded work or bread. They threat
ened raplne and plllage unles, their
demands were Instantly complied
with, and were only dispersed by All
assurance OF the authorities that EN-
ployment would be given by the city
uext morning. This we believe was
done, aud tor the present peace relgns
IN that city.

n prominent Catholic Church was fired.
Although the pastor does not believe
that the lncendlaries were enemies OF
the church. but that they hoped by
burning IL to secure work In Its re-
building, the Superintendent OF Police
Is OF an opposite opinion. He has no
doubt that the lire was tho work OF the
Commune, aud Is on tho lookout for
similar attempts, which he thinks ex-
trcmely probable. lie says the Com

success Is the downfall OF law and the
destruction Of both life add property.

sigentesa and their stubborn fight against
the CASTELAR, Government, spain would
not to-day have been far along the
path toward self-govsrnment? Amer
lea does not breed these Ignorant and
brutal Communists. Our system OF
government recognizes equal protec-
ton for all, be they Christian or Pagan,
and provides for the education OF our
people. The class who join the Com
mune-who wage war upon education,
Christianity and civilization, are the
offspring OF monarchy, the drsgs OF
those systems which, while they elevate
n few. proportionally debauch and de-
grade the masses. They are not work
ingmen, but brutal savagcs-the lees
OF the Old World the serpents In the
cup which Europe brews aud sends Us.
We have no tincture OF Know Moth
inglsm about us. This country Is for
all good citizens, but not-lt 10 not
large enough-for the barbarous hordes
OF Asia, or their still more brutal fell
low-savages-the Communists Of Eu-
rope. In our belief, 1t should be made
a felony to belong to the Society OF
Intenationalis,s, and every member
thereof be banished from this nation.
