ANARCHY a HOLE.

What will the Chicago anarchists do
nowr The Chicago police, moved by a
generous desire 10 save the Anarchists
from putting their threats into practice
and as consequence their own uecks
into a halter, recently refused them the
privilege of holding outdoor meetings in
which to advocate the use of dynamite
and oo,nbs tor the regeneration of society
The anarchists, with disregard of all
rules of logical consistency which is
characteristics of them, appealed TO the
law which they Affect 10 despise for an IN
junction against the police. They got
what they asked, much to their disap-
polntment The court ruled that anar-
chsts were entitled to the use of free
speech aud peaceahle assembly for law
full Purposes, and went SO far as to de
clare that reasonable intentions OF
words, unacoom parted by overt acts or
deeds, do not constitu- punishable
offense. In other words. the Chicago
anarchists may rave to their hearts con
tent against tue capitalists class and
advocate blowing such men sky high and
still keep on tae windy side of the law.
As they have no grievance left, their only
resource wilt be to deuoauce the court
for giving them what they asked for
thus proving them liars in asserting that
they had no rights the capitatistic class
was oouni TO respect. Ualess they DO
this they will not be anarchists any more.
1t is true that the court indicated that If
the anarchists persisted in making their
wordy threats good BY killing decent
people, they might get hanged for it, but
SO would a millionaire; and here again
the discouraged snarchist finds himself
on the same plane with the man he hates.
II is evident that this is not the countr,
the anarchist took it TO be. If they are
not to be allowed even q grievance there
will be nothing for anarchists to do bu,
emigrate or wash their faces and become
respectable citizens.

A Long and Just Sentence.

Patrick Bradley, the cry of the child
rem of this land goes up against you and
calls for your punishment. Punishment
you shall have, to the utmost of the law
| therefore proceed to pronounce judg
ment upon you, and that is, that you,
Patrick Bradley, undergo an iuprison
ment, at separate and solitary cOnhne-
ment in the Eastern Peniteniary, for the
period of twenty nine years and eight
months. This was the terrible sentence
passed by Judge Gordon upon 5he wretch
Patrick Bradley, who WAS tried aud found
guilty upon two distinct charges of lur-
ing yourg girls from their home under
pretense of er ploying them as servants
arc attem pting their ruin IN Paramount
Park as was reported at the time of his
arrest. Within week, the crime was
committed and the criminal discovered,
identified, arrested, tried, convicted and
imprisoned, His sentence of thirty years
is virtually a life one, as he is middle
age ed man. The general opinion here is
that Judge Gordon did the right thing at
the right time. So strong was the feel
ing against Bradley, that they could not
find lawyer in Philadelphia who was
willing to go into court and defend hin,
so at his trial he was not represent ted ty
counsel.

to increase the cost of meat in order that
eastern butchers may continue their ousi-

where a vast concentration of capital

GERMAN PAPERS OPINIONS.
They PrOphesize all Sorts of Things fo
France


BERLIN jan. 28.- The newspapers here
of all shades of political opinion regard
the success of Boulanger as an evil
augury for the French republic. The
North German Gazette says: "The
regime of the parliamentary republic has
suffered a severe reverse in its own capi
tai. Tne defeat Of the gov srnment will
probably lead to all sorts of surprises"
The Vossische Z9ituBg says: at vas
not Bculanger alone that was victorious,
but also his programme to establish
dictatorship AMI emphasize the fact that
he is the man for the league of patriots,
that hi glorious sword is to send the
peace of Frapkfort and win back AlOce
Lorraine. The French mean once more
to be grand nation. That is the sig
nifoance of Boulanger's success for Ger
many.
The Volks Zeitung recalls the warning
of the Republique Franchise, IAN EN-
peror if yOa wish for one" and says:
Paris responds, Yes, we do wish for
Oue.''
