P,uIs, April "5..-Nlpch interest Is
manifested in the trial OF tho Anarchist
Ravachul, who is charged with having
caused tho explosion at tho residence OF
Judge Benoit, No. 1876 Boulevard street,
Gcrmain, who presided Mt tho trial OF
anarchists ut the Seine Assizes on
April 2Sth, 1891, and at tho house cor.
ncr OF the hue de Clichy aud the Rue
do Berlin. the residence Of u. Dulot,
who conducted the prosecution on that
occasion. The trial is fixed for to.mor.
row and the demand for tickets OF ad.
mission to the court room has been
very active.
The desire TO hear the proceedings
has been somewhat dampcncd, how
over, by statement that appeared yes.
terday that friends Of Ravachoi were
plotting 10 prevent any sentence the
court might impose upon him from
being carried out. It is not known
what course tho anarchists will pursue,
but it Is feared that some OF them may
in some way gain admission to tho court
room and throw Il bomb. OF course, it
is hardly probable that such thing
could happen, but so many dynamite
outrages have been perpctrated in spite
OF all tho precautions OF tho police the
public is willing TO believe that the an
urchists will try any scheme, no matter
how desperate. to prevent Ravachol
from being punished.
1t is certain that none OF the judges
are at all l'anxions TO preside ut tho trial,
rs the anarchists have threatened
vengeance against the judge who SEN
tenccd him. i5t
The Eclair to-day publishes a letter
signed by, number of Ravachops
friends, addressed to the jurors who
will sit in the case. The letter appeals
TO the jurors to observe impartial fair
ness, and declares that Ravachols acts
OF vengeance were justified by tho GRIM
inal attitude OF Judge Benoit and Pub
lic Prosecutor Bulot- ut the trial OF the
Clichy anarchists.
The Eclair also publishes the text of
an anarchist proclamation which has
been secretly printed with 4 view TO in
luencing the municipal elections which
will be held on May !. This is vio-
lent manifesto advocating neutrality in
the elections, which are denounced as
bourgeois farce. Remember" tho
manifesto says, that by going to the
polls You initiate tho sheep going to
the shamblcs. Be n man, learn to do
without rulers and eovernmcnts-thnt
is to say, masters and oppressors. Then,
and then only, on the ruins Of the hor-
rible and monstrous past. whose sole
basis and rule was the idiotic struggle
for existence, YOU may lay tho founda-
ton OF the organization OF the future,
resting entirely on the agreement for
free, harmonious and integral life. The
PRINCIPLES OF equality, liberty and JUS
ticc will then no longer be vain formulas,
and by anarchy, without God or mas
ter, all may produce according to their
strength while amply consuming ac-
cording to their wants"
1t further urges the working people
to seize the workshops, factories and
warehouses and commence the social
revolution.
