In the audience were probably more

The ParlS Anarchists.

There is nothing redssuriDg to the friends
OF order and security in the fact that tho
jury in the RAvAcHoL case refused to bring
in verdict imposing on the prisoner the
death penalty. but actually professed to
find extenuating circumstances. 1t will be
remembered that the French Parliament
has recently passed an act making tho
crime deiiantly acknowledged by RAvAcHoL
n capital offence. Nevertheless. through
ont the trial tho Judge on the bench treated
the prisoner with curious Difference. allow
ing him to pose in the r6lo OF n political
apostle. and the jury. ms their verdict
showed, were for one reason or another in
clined to regard him in that light. No Won

mild sentence Of imprisonment was passed
on him. ,Iio.d have shouted We rnndrchic!
Neither il IL a. matter Of surprise that the
conduct of both Judge and jury WAS at
tributcl by the 0niookels TO terror. that
the jurl'n,cn were hsjed after leaving the
court room, and that the conviction Is deep
ening III Paris that the ordinary machinery
OF justice rnnno. La trusted to extirpatc
the Auu:ch,S; conspiracy.
There is 10 Gntu. that Tho irepidation and
remissnrss rXn'ntrd by al concerned in
tho trial 81 RAyAcHoL. with the single
honorable exception ur tho Public Prose-
cutor, was duo To tho destruction Of the
wine shop IN which the dynamiter had been
arrested. The explosion. which will prob
ably cost The proprietor OF the shop his
life. and kilie'! or seriously wounded a
number of persons. furnished decisive proof
that the Anarchists were organized aud
iNl,
the keeper OF tho wine SHOP, and the waiter
who had pointed out RAvACHOL to the po-
lice. had been notified by letters that they
had but n short time TO live. When. q day

over RAvAcuoL'S trial. and the jurors We're
warned to treat the prisoner with indul-
gence. they seem to have been convinced
that they could not do their duty 70 society
without sacrificing their own lives. and
they shrank from the sacrifice.
IT Is absurd to suppose that the people Of
Paris will tamely submit to the reign Of
terror foreshadowed by RAvAcHOL' & escape
from the guillotine. Two courses are open
to the champions OF public safety. One is
the transfer OF tho powers Of the Ministry

Tho Senate md the Navy.

The amendments proposed to the Naval
Appropriation bill by the Senate committee
are few but important. They deserve the
unprejudiced consideration of Congress.
| To the provision for next years interna-
tional review and pageant there can be no
reasonable objection. especially as the COM
mlttee has cut down the amount originally
asked for by Senator DANIEL from $500 900 to
$4,000. Tie reduction Is made possible by
providing for immediate necessities only.
The President has already been directed by
Congress to hold this review. and to invite
the participation OF other nations: and now
the time has come for sending cut tho invi-
I tations and arranging the plans for tho
hospitablo reception OF foreign guests.
The sum OF 900 IS believed to DO sufficient
for those purposes. and by next winter 1t
