The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1886-08-27


For some time trial has been going on
ia Chicago ia which eight lerscns were
being tried on an indictment for mur-
der These men are known in the par.
lance OF the day as anarchists name,
BY the way, as most tittiag to express
The character aud calling Of these men.
They are men who represent numer.
GUS class Of people, who, for number
Of years, have been increasing to an
alarming extent in the United States.
We say alarming, because, by their
teaching and example both, they have
shown themselves restless insubordi-
nate class Of people whose chief pur-
pose Is to inculcate spiris Of disobed-
isnce to constituted authority. They
partake largely of tho character ofoom-
munists, but they differ from the latter
Ia this, that now aud without further
waiting, they would resort to fire and
sword to secure what they CALI their
rights. Il is msrely combination of
lawless individuals who have combined
themselves together to resist the due
enforcement of lsw when that enforce
msnt conflicts with their interests. The
crime these men committed was the
throwing Of bombs among a squad Of
police in the city Of Chicago some
months ago, while they were engaged in
breaking up meeting Of these anaIoh-
lists at which meeting the most iucsn-
diary and outrageous speeches were be-
ing made. Several police as we'll as
citizens, were mangled in most horri.

at once, while quite a number after
wards died from the wounds r-ceives

when is becomes the duty Of every law
AbiliLg citizen to insist, 10 season aud
out Of season, that our laws were made
to be Obeyed, and not violated, and that
no man who continually tcOffs and
snsers at law, and prOmulgates q feel

claim its protection. The people Of the
United States have been unfortunate
in securing such large proportional

to the authorities Of Chicago that they
are bringing swift justice to those who
take ths Law IN heir own hands.
