CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. IA local paper re-
ierring TO the revival of the Anarchistic
agitation in this city, says;
500 much has been written in the past
two years in Wholesale dcuunciation Of
the Anarchists that the public may have

these meetings to the bare, unvarnshcd

investigations warranted more. Tho re-

is rapidly repeating itself 10 far Us the
so.callcd revolution is concerned, and

its Inauguration has been fixed by the
Anarchists all over the country. The
movement is local, national and inter
