NOR ROOM FOR ANARCHY HERE.

NO ROOM FOR ANARCHY HERE.
 Catholics or Baltimore Some Sound
 Counsel.
 BALTIMORE, May 9.-Upon the occasion to- day of the dedication of the church of the Holy Cross German Catholic) Archbishop Gibbons referred to the recent disturbances in Chicago as follows: ''The government of the United States is government framed by the people for the benefit of the people. It welcomes to our shores foreigners from every part of Europe. Like the sun which shines for all, our benevolent government sheds it's blessings upon all without regard to race or creed. It lifts af1oat our glorious flag as 8 protection and guarantee of equal rights to all. Every man in our country has an op- portunity of making an honest livelihood and in many instances may secure an independ- ent fortune. The Germans form 6 large, influential and conservative portion of the population of Baltimore. They have con- tributed much to the material growth of the country and the development of it's re- sources. Whilst the great bulk of the emi- grants from Europe are law-abiding men, yet tl40 OfCAlS Ol GuO HdSb 4c" udy6 "AlCA Aof Q occurred in Chicago clearly show that there comes to this country small but dangerous class of men who boldly preach the gospel of anarchy, socialism and nihilism. These men are land pirates, preying upon the trade and industry of the country. Their favorite weapon is dynamite. Their mission is rather to pull down than to build up. Instead of trying to strengthen the hands of the government which protects and upholds them they strive to hamper and destroy it. Instead of blessing the mother that opens her arms to receive them, they in- suit and strike her. If these men had their own way industry would be paralyzed, hon est labor would be unrewarded and gaunt poverty would stalk over the land. They have no idea of true liberty. They wish the lions share for themselves and only morsel for others. The amplest liberty is enjoyed in this country, but it is liberty based upon law, order and authority and liberty with out law degenerates into license. We have no large standing army in this country to up- hold the law and 1 am glad of it. Standing armies are great drains upon the resources Of a country and compel very large body of men to lead lives of enforced idleness. Our strongest point consists in the law of the land judiciously executed and this law is upheld by healthy public opin- ion. The greatest bulwark of the Unit ed States is found in the intelligence, virtue and patriotism of our native and adopted citizens. Every citizen is soldier. So long as our fellow citizens love our com mon country, cherish her institutions and are ready to protect and defend them at the risk of their lives have nothing to fear from anarchy. Anarchy is foreign, poison ous plant which grows only in the dark places and which will wither and decay under the genial sun and pure air of Ameri- ca. As we all desire the perpetuity of onr free institutions, so we must condemn in every possible way any attempt made to dis turb the public peace, hamper the execution of the laws or paralyze industry"
 The archbishop then exhorted the people to beware of dangerous and forbidden socie- ties, to beware of demagogues and to be al- ways ready to grant to others the same lib erty and tolerance they expect from them selves
