AS early as 1881 the International Socialist
revolutionary party, which was holding a Con-
gress in London to reconstitute the 1ntcrna-
tonale declared the necessity OF adding deeds
to words in the propagation of the cause
There was no doubt as to what these deeds were
likely to be- Nihilist attempts were already In
the air; and extreme Irish agitators. on the
other side Of the world, had long since declared
they would carry their war against England
by terrorizing the general public with dynamite
explosions.
CONGRESSES OF ANARCHY.
In September Of the same year a definitely
Anarchist congress was held in Barcelona IL

the publication of various Anarchist organs
which make known to the companions the state
of the "workingmen's movement in the two
worlds" The French abstained from this latter
reunion on the ground Of its overmuch organi-
zation-"through fear Of paramentarism. In
1889 the Spaniards again came forward to insist
on some kind of a convention being held during
the Paris Exposition The French Anarchists

the absolute necessity Of honesty as the word Is

was a failure.
Meanwhile the Anarchists continued appearing

RELATIONS or ANARCHY TO SOCIALISM,
All this shows that the extreme wing OF
Socialism still has certain family ties with
Anarchy General Cluseret has just been citing
his connection with Mr.. Carl Schurz during the
American war to prove that authoritative
Socialism is at present nothing more than
niece Of arbitrary German work. On the other
hand that stirring Holland pastor Domela
Nieuwenhus Is so strong In his anti-paria-
mentarisrn that more than once he has frater-
nized with the Anarchists In their struggles, ana
a week since he presided at meeting in COM
memoration Of the Chicago martyrs. II Is the
old quarrel of Karl Marx and Bakunin always
going on among the Socialists themselves.
The Anarchist leaders-those who devote
themselves to the cause and not TO plumber and
bomb-t hrowing-haye not been slow to take adj
vantage Of this division among the Socialists
In 1891 the Italian Federation Of the Anarchist
Revolutionary Socialist party" was formed at
the Congress Of Capo Lago. 1t recognized the
autonomy Of the separate groups ana their
methods Of combined action. 1t decided that
its members should act citizens. that Is.
should vote only when the cause could be helped
forward and they were to join in the general
strikes of the 1st Of May. 1t does not appear
that the European press has fully understood
the sudden progress made by Anarchist
sentiments in every part OF Italy since this
