=; NEW YORK. Dec 29.-Cabling to the
Tribune from Paris Smailey says: The first
:. meeting Of the Committee Of public safety;
appointed by the gathering at the Maison.
:: du Peuple. was held yesterday: Ii was a
!; secret meeting, and. the reports of 1t are
meager-perhaps they are guesswork. Two
2 things however, seem pretty clear. The
first of these is. that the anarchists and
socialists find IT, difficult to work together
:. without ffiction:- The second Is that both
have discovered that to announces a reyolu-
. tion ID advance OF the fixed day is mis-
fake.
- The socialists are not easy in company
with the anarchists, and are still less easy
: under the comments of the press on their
. new alliance The French press has, after
: shrinking it over for'two days, begun to dis
. euss these curious: proceedings at the
:: Mais0n du Peuple. The. explosion at the
p, Prefecture OF Police: helped 10 turn their
attention thither. Truly the conn ection of
dates between the Maison du Peuple meet
Ing and the explosion was at least striking.
The explosion followed the meeting within
3twenty-four hours.
m There is, however. quite enough in the
revival of open revolutionary talk TO give
rise TO reflection. even without dynamite,

prevent. them, or for some reason do not
care to prevent them. These assemblies
are always private; and<oyer private assem-

anarchists commit mo overt acts until the

on. and :: this. unlike the demonstration

London for preaching the gospel of anarchy
to all eomers. Their converts do not all

years ago were never anything but an in

J: -5d fresh manifesto has appeared attack
Ing the socialists. not less violently than
: the Government aud the middle classes in

:. that some, men who have got hold OF the
anarchist machine mean to run 1t them
: selves. Much Of the language of this docu-
: ment cannot be put into printable English,
. but one sentence may be given. 1t reads:
1.-THE opportunist politicians, radical poli-
-cians, possibist politicians. Marxists. poll
ticians of all the 'sts.' are all alike. One is
NO better th an another" -:

making advances to these very advanced re-

proceedings at:the Maison du Peuple and
: to approve such speeches such as quoted
to you two days ago. And Goblet has been
a Prime Minister and expects to be again.
