THE PARIS ANARCHISTS.

The dynamite explosion made bv Anarch-
lists in Paris Monday evening is most shock
ing event. 1t was hoped and believed that
in getting hold of Ravacnol the police had
seized on Anarchist headquarters, and that
Paris would be exempt, for a season at least.
from a repetition of the outrages that he had
for some time been inspiring. 1t seems.
however that his followers and supporters
have ramifcations that. so far, have eluded the
search of police authorities, and that they
think they can deter the course of public JUS
tice in its dealings with Ravachol.
OF all the delusions that have ever taken
possession Of sane minds the delusion OF the
Anarchist Of an Anarchist can be supposed
10 have a sane mind is the most striking.
The Anarchist is. relatively, the smallest frac-
ton of population at large. The Anarchists
theory is that we should live without law, but
the overwhelming mass of people believe in
the theory that we should live under a gov
eminent of law, The Anarchist aims at de-
stroying all law; the rest of man
kind aim at modifying and improy-
ing their system of laws so as TO secure
equal and exact justice to all. The Anarchist
believes that by producing sudden and unex-
pected calamities. which appal by their sud
denness and disturbances. he will frighten
the great bulk of the people out of their
belief, and coerce them through fear into
adopting his faith. This is the widest dream
that ever took possession of disordered
brain. Masses of people were never yet con-
troled by fear. Whatever may be the result
to individuals, the work moves steadily
ahead under the impulse of public
opinion. The Anarchist had as well at
tempt to dam the current of
Niagara with his little finger as to drive
the body polite from its predetermined course
by his dynamite bombs and secret assassina-
tons. He causes mourning in a few families,
and the final hanging of the last one of his
own gang, and society again assumes its serene
aspect, and moves on Just as though the
Anarchist had never been heard Of
1t is @ subject for earnest congratulation TO
ourselves that the soil of the United States
has not proven good ground for Anarchist
doctrines. Spies Lneg u Co. soon learned
that the temper of our people is towards a
short shrift and the nearest tree" for the
Anarchist and anarchy soon came to an I'M
| timely end in the United States

no room for machine politics. and the true

Democracy of Richmond want Hill they can

can also say so. No one can complain no
matter what the result. This is all the friends
of Mr.. Cleveland ask.
