TEE good, In some way or other
always manages 10 survive. The
righteous man In some way most al
ways manages 90 escape the viles
and snsres set TO encompass his
down fall. The governments Of the
world, % long - they give every
body q fair show, come out on TOP In
all the skirmishes In which they
may be engaged. Herr Most 10 IN
anarchist In fact he might be called
an arch-snarchist. He never takes
Q bath, nor shaves, nor combs, or
even cuts his hair. He eats Timber
ger cheese, weinerwursts, onions,
saueF kraut and drinks beer. He
spends his time (or used to, rather,
- be IL "doing time" now on Black
wells Island, n. " In making In
eendisry speeches, or writing, books
or pamphlets and doing work Of like
character for the papers Of this
peculiar class.
A few years ago he made the boast
that he would make . speech pro-
phesyIng the down fall Of our coun-
try's flag and the rise In Its place, OF
the red flag Of anarchy, from the
steps Of the Treasury Building at
Washington, and that he would also
rob the treasury Of the money Il
contained. When Herr Most and
his followers arrived at the foot Of
the steps Of the building the custo-
dian, . brave and patriotic soldier
In the late war, stepped to the front
with . small revolver and politely
yet firmly told Mr.. Most that II he
dared to doas much as to place one Of
his feet on the steps Of the treasury
building. his life would pay the for
het. No speech was made from the
treasury steps aud the money inside
the building was never disturbed.
After this incident the redOubt-
! able Most emigrated, and found out
that the climate Of New York was
more cougenial to his health than
any he had yet come 10 contact.
After telling what dire things he
was about TO visit upon the state Of
New York, the officers Of the out
ragged law captured him In hiding
under q bed one night. He was
hauled out from his hiding place
with Q pair Of tongs and carried to
the police station on q dump cart.
He afterwards spent q year on
BIaekwelI's Island, which bears the
same relation to New York as the
county jail does 10 SAlIna. Il was
thought that before his term was
over he would either reform or die,
but, unfortunately for him, and un-
luckily for the country, he did
neither. When men are taken TO
Blaekwell's Island they are scrub
bed, shaved and shorn, and this IL
fatal to anarchy. After q few
months liberty he IL again sent to
BlaekweIl's Island for his incendlsry
utterances, where it IL hoped that II
his heart does not bresk az he has
any the spark Of life will flicker
out.
We exclude skilled mechanics,
musicians and even preachers II q
word IL said beforehand about their
getting . job when they get here.
Organ grinders, beggars, Malta
murderers, socialists, anarchists
and Off scourings Of like character
come In without q question. What
q travesty some Of the laws Of our
country are, anyway! Those who
would do us good and be valuable
additions to our country we exclude,
because forsooth contract immigrs-
ton ~ IL q detriment to the work
Ing man. On the other hand, tur-
moilers, socialists, anarchists, and
members Of European murder socie-
ties, who not only are an immense
harm 10 American working men by
drawing them into strikes and riots,
and other unlawful demonstrations
but are also q constant menace 10
our free institutions.
