WHAT Is BEHIND DYNAMITE.

A mistake may be fallen into by assuming
that the recent Outrages in England represent
solely Irish hatred. The presumption certainly
is that this malign sentiment is mainly con-
cerncd in these crimes but it Is also true that
there are other elements at work, not less but
more dangerous to society. 1t is necessary not
to overlook these other elements, for a due
realization of the part they play will serve to
indicate the extent to which civilization at large
is involved in all such deeds. The use of dyna-
mite for destructive and murderous purposes
may be said to be Continental idea. 1t Origi-
mated with the extremists of the Commune, end
| was rapidly adopted by the Nihiists. Its en-
ployment has now for many years at intervals
| announced to the world the persistence of the
most intractable, reckless and desperate elements
i'm modern society. And one of the chief
dangers in the matter is the intensity of the
anarchc convictions which reinforce these
potters. Their inhumanity hOrriies mankind
but to them the Incidental loss of few lives is
| literally nothing, since they constantly contem-
plate hope for, and are seeking to work up to,
the complete disorganization of society, and this
| by the most violent methods. The ease with
which dynamite can be made has for the first
| Ilfnc TcUucTtU JlcSc IOlInlUd-
bic. But while their doctrines are as wild,
foolish and impracticable as ever, their power
| for evil has suddenly increased alarmingly, and
this and all that this involves, must henceforth
be taken into serious consideration.
| 1t is not the effect of the London explosions
upon Irish politics that most concerns either
England or the world. 1t is the effect of fresh
successes in the use of dynamite upon that
anarchist element which has its representatives
| everywhere and which is in aiiation, open or
| covert, with large number of Socialist and
| Communist bodies, many of which do not yet
approve the dynamite policy, but all of which
are liable to 90 over to it, because all of them
are radically opposed to the actual tendencies
of social development. The Continental and
| American Socialists care nothing for Irish in
dependence yet they are pleased at the success
| of dynamite outrages. The reason is that they
regard every such outrage as an assault upon
modern society. These people cannot be
placated by reforms in any direction What
they want is wholesale destruction. AT present
they stand prepared to help on every seditiou'
and anarchical movement, on the general
principle that whatever disturbs existing in
stitutions forwards their ultimate objects.
| y Thus the Irish dynamiteurs find active alliel
all over the Continent Of Europe. Russian
Nihilists, German Socialists, French Anarchists
are all engaged in the same work. while from
this country many thread of conspiracy passe

THE KINGS COUNTY REFORM BILLS.

through Mr.. Roosevelt's influence, in regard TO
the Sheriff, Register and County Clerk OF this
city. They abolish the evil system OF payment
by fees so far as the Register and CLERK OF
Kings County are concerned, and provide that
the amount of fees received by the Sheriff shall
be made public. The County Clerk and hegis-
ter are to have salaries of $4,000 each' ana
their fees are to 90 into the County Treasury.
These three offices are considered the rat
test" prizes within the reach OF the polltical
aspirant No one knows how large the ices
have been in the past; but there can De no
doubt that they have been out Of all proportion
to the services rendered. The holders OF these
positions and candidates for them have been
liberal contributors to campaign funds.
The Register and County Clerk can with entire
propriety be paid salaries, and large saving TO
the county will thus be effected. 1t Will De
claimed for the Sheriff. probably, as was the
case in this city, that his responsibility is so
great and his liability in actions at law so heavy
that salary should not be attached to the Office
Perhaps, however, when the actual amount OF
his fees is known, it may be deemed wise by the
next Legislature to reduce the fees.
Two of these offices are now held by Demo-
Gratis. Only the Register is Republican. This
should make no difference with the Lawmakers
at Albany. The principle is undoubtedly
correct one and the bills which General Heath
