The st. James Gazette, commenting on

vissd the governments to prosecute tho per-

THE MANAGERS ARRAIGNED
Nichol, the editor, and Mowbray, the
publisher of the CommOnUeal, were ar
yaigned in the Bow street police court to-
day on charge of melting to a breach of
the peace. The prosecution is basel on the

bail. Mowbray declared that be had dis
approved OF the article at the tims 1t was
published but his objections were over

company OF policeman.
NICHOL ADMITS TIE AUTHORSHIP.
Nichol admitted that he wrots the article
in question.
The prompt action Of the authorities In
| this case show that the anarchists may ex-
pect no favor in England. Those Of that
class who have been expelled from other
countries and seek refuge here will upon
| the slightest evidences that they are
| attempting to spread their doctrines
be arrested and prosecuted to the full sx~
tent OF she law. England is a refuge for
| political offenders OF all kinds bus muir
derers and those who iucits to murder will
find that the English law is fully. competent
to deal with them. English judges have
not yet become impregnAted with the fear
thai is said to prevail among the mngis-
trates in France, who, bsaring the auarch-
| ista' threats in mind, hesitate TO preside at
the trial of Ravachol and others Of that
ilk. Here the anarchists will find judges
ready TO try them, and upon conviction TO
mete out TO them sentences commensurate
with their crimes against society.
