ST. LOUIS, November Items Of thous-
ands of a remarkable anarchistic pamphlet
have been printed, calling for monster
meeting of Anarchists in this city next
Sunday. In order to delay publicity
as long as possible, the printing was
done in New York. There has
been no farther attempt at secrecy, and the
contents of the document are now in your
correspondents possession. 1t is interest
ing, as showing that, at least among
those of that nationality which gives
the Anarchist movement whatever strength
and persistence it possesses-as well as the
greater number of its adherents-the revo-
lutionary sentiment is still eSpoused.
BOUND TO BE AVENGED.
The circular demonstrates also just how
the execution of the Chicago Anarchists is
regarded, and that their fate is discussed
to make new capital for the sup
porters Of the war against society.
No name is signed to the
pamphlet 1t is printed in English for wide
distribution elsewhere than here In the name
Of the Progressive Workingmen's Associa-
tion, but it claims to be signed by ''The
Committee on Agitation of the Inter
national Workingmen's Association. The
pretext on which it is to be circulated here
is that it is call for meeting next Sun
day in the Central Arbeiter Hail. and in
that shape it will be circulated all over the
country.

II, 1887" 1t is addressed to the working
people, and it recites that five men suffered
"a crime such as history has never wit
messed. Not even shadow of evidence was
produced to show that they had violated
those barbarous laws society puts forth
in justification of their judicial misdeeds.
An unknown, who, in common with a great
many others, suffered an attack on the 4th
of May, 1886, at the hands Of an assassin
band of 200 policemen, hurled a bomb in

THEY CALL IT LEGITIMATE.
This action of Legitimate resistance was
avenged, not on the individual whose
identity up to the present date has re-
mained a mystery, but it served as pre-
tense to destroy the best the most intelli-
gent and selfsacrifcing councillors OF the
working people of Chicago"
The pamphlet goes on to ask what the
workers have done to save their councillors,
and 1t answers "nothing, or next to nothing.
The courage of manhood was needed; in
stead they collected money" Then follows
this frank declaration:

"A daring deed would have frustrated
the November crime; instead the working
people passed resolutions How different it
might have been if those who participated
in this kind of demonstration had made a
bold front, as the urgency OF the situation
demanded"
The circular then concludes by calling on
