skill of the engineers in charge of
its construction.
Mr.. S.-But | always thought
that you anarchists did not believe
in authority, and here we find you,
one of their most intelligent mem
bers, entrusting your own life and
that of your family to the words, or,
plainly and technically speaking, to
the authority of one or two civil en-
glneers.
Mr.. 1.-Now, you know well
enough that we anarchists do not
mean any such authority at all. We
mean laws imposed by legislatures
and politicianS-by government, in
fact.
.Nr. 81 know that you say you
want to abolish all authority, and all
coercion in respect to laws; and yet
the very engineers who designed this
bridge and who superintended its
construction were coerced by laws,
by the laws of mechanics, to do Just
such and such things, in order that
this bridge could bear a certain load
and it was this very amenability of
theirs to law that gave the authority
IN which you now have 80 much con-
tidence.
Mr.. A.-Now you are quibbling;
you know well enough that we an
archists believe just as firmly in nat
ural law as you State Socialists; but
We do most emphatically y protest
against any government on State
made laws. Just see how they have
always been used against the people
to rob them, to cajole them, and to
muddle them: and not in any par
ticular country, but under all forms
of political administration, until
even here in this so-called republic,
freedom has become as much of a
mockery as in Imperial Germany.
-Nr, S.-Most of what you say is
very true; but do not think | wish
to quibble over words, the question
is too serious. Now, my opinion is,
that the reason that these laws en-
acted by parliaments and legisla-
lures, or even more exclusive pOlit-
ical cabals, have almost always been
an injury to the masses Of the people
is simply because the rich have al
ways monopolized these instruments
of power, and the reason why they
have been enabled to do this is be-
cause the masses of the people have
as yet never conceived of any other
than a political state and a political
government. That is, in certain So
cial relations they have compre-
hended the necessity of organization
and regulation, or the principles of
the State and Of Government ; but
in the sphere Of industrial or eco
nomical activity they have sub
ordinated everything to a 60
as-you-please, individualistic, devil
observation-disclosures struggle, and in
any rough and tumble fight like
that, it is always the avaricious, the
INSCRIPTIONS, and the cruel who
come to the top Of the heap; and
you may make up your mind that if
the workers Of the world ever expect
to be emancipated from economic
bondage, they will have to organize
an industrial State, regulated by an
industrial government, and that law
and authority will be important ele-
ments in its usefulness. ]. E.. Il.

Attorney General Webster, for The Times" said
he could not agree with Sir Charles Russell upon the
degree of connection of the League with outrages
Speeches melting ouages had not yet come before

Sir Charles Russell responded: Then let this evil
dence be deferred until the speoehcs are produced'
Presiding Justice Hannen said the commission
would form an opinion Ipon whether persons against
whom charges were made could be connected with
outrages by the mere proof that outrages were COM
mitted They would be unworthy of the position IN
which they were placed II they were not able TO Keep

Boston, Nov Ia SpeciaD.-The Democratic CITY
Committee tonight renomlnated Mayor oBrien.
The committee also took important action on the
school question. The removal Of swinton's text
books from the Boston public schools, and the transfer
of an old teacher in the High School TO another branch
Of study few months ago, caused intense feeling
among the earnest Protestanis and movement was
at once set on foot to counteract the influence OF the
Catholics in the public school management The
trouble grew of the teachings of the book concern
ing the sale of indugences by the Catholic Church.
II is seld that the teacher went beyond his textbook,
and taught that the same abuses existed In the church
to-day as In formor days. The Protestant women
were melted assessments and registration IN
order that they might vote on the school question,
and about $4,000 assessed. This agitation
started I'D the Catholic women, and 1t Is believed
that about one-half of this large number of female
voters Catholics.
