THE ANARCHIST QUEEN.
HER WOUND WILL PRESERVE The fhHf--
DOM OF THE PRESS IN FRANCE

The attempt to murder LOUSY 'A'"i'Si "
Aas possibly saved France from reaetiohary
crass law. At any rate 1t Will DC SET on against
the outcrv OF the Ferrysts against press denuhcla
lions which they would make oeheVe put u ihVo
On hoad n the crank Aubernon to assassinate the
Man Of Tonquin. 1t may be asked why they
should wish to go back In regard TO press legis-
lation Simply for the reason that they love
darkness rather than light because their deeds
evil. and they hatter themselves that II they had
darkness they could hold and bleed France with
greater comfort to themselves. The Jewish ring
which grew up around Gambetta ut the Petit
Bourbon. and since Gambetta's death PLAYED into
the hands Of Wilson, Rouvier ard the rest, have

1881, Wilson would be still carving on his shady
business Mt the Elysee. The public would not be
distinctly aware that the Department OF Public
Safety Mt the Home Ministry Is a den OF thieves
and that It's general director Levaillant, Is fast

Is an INSCRIPTIONS Jew placed at its head by
Waldeci- Rousseau, also OF Jewish origin, whose
idea Of government is to get France well into the
hands Of the syndicate aforesaid, and then Work
her for their profit. 1t was awkward for this
gang when the Wilson exposures brought out to
what extent corruption had been resorted to by
them The denunciations Of Rochefort were out
stripped in damaging force by those Of M Edward
de Portals from whose house the financial record
OF NJ Rouvier was burglariously taken by agents
