And now, at last, We are a%lEastouuded
and dumblouuded at what has occurred
and Is still occurringAt Chicago, Bay View
and Milwaukee. We know now what the
'sRsd Flag" meana. wshaye had a prac'
iical tasto of the doctrines OF the Anar'
cbists who have swarmed to u shorei
rom Continental Europe, and like so many
vIpsrs warmed themselves in our bosom
We know at length that they really dc
mean what they preach, and what they
were driven out OF Europe for preaching
and that To murder, burn and destroy il
actually their mission on our shores
The American people are the most pa
tient people OH earth. They 20 to the
last length OF liberation in the matter o
speech. They arc used to the extraYa
pancies Ct campaign oratory and have
learned to take it at a dlGcount' Hitherto
they have not believed that there
could be any serious purpose on the par
even Of a handful Of persons to reduce &c
practice in this country the odious doc
triues 80 long advocated in a sort Of sub
t%errsnean way on the other side- Of the
ocean. An American cannot see any
sense in such diaboliCal theories, and
hencs he does not believe that any one
can mean business VIXEN be advocates
them,
Bnt we know better now. We can
aee That these bloody m%lscreants with un'
uronouncsbls names really do mean bust
ness, and that it is only a question OF OPP
portunity as to when and where they will
i%naugurate a rclgn OF riot, bloodshed and
burning. They are in our midst to de-
stroy. They have no idea Of working loI
a living. They hold that all property is
crime and that il 1t can not be looted and
divided out it should be destroyed.
The principal apostles of this iendish
doctrine Of destruction IRE ouch men as
Most and schwab in New York and Spies
and his allies in Chicago. They have their
iuntas in all the principal cities aud pub
lish considerable cred Flsg" literature
Their German paper in Chicago Is Il OF
the most bloodthirsty Of It's class. 1t has
openly counselled workingmen to prepare
dynamite and inaugurate in connection
with the eight hour movement q campaign
of arson and murder, BY its advice tho
bombs that were SO murderously thrown
among tho police on Monday evening,
killing and horribly mutilsting number
of them, were prepared for the
occasion aud carried in the pockets
Of the wretchea who throw them
The leaders fled from the scene when
they saw that their advice had
been put in practice, but yesterday
editor Spies and several Of his
immediate gang were arrested, and 1t is to
be hoped that ii there is the semblance OF
law still left they will bo put through to
the fullest extremity. 1t is nlEo to be
hoped that this illustration Of the outcome
Of the teachings Of these sCound:els will
be sufficient to work public opinion up to
the point Of demanding that the incendia-
ny utteranCes OF the the whole tribe,
wherever ventilated, shall be the signal
for their arrest. federation was never
meant to cover the advocacy Of murder
and rapine. We need to take in sail in
our, ideas on this subject. This foreign
poison must have an antidoto vigorously
