The Hunt for Anarchists.

everybody suspected of being an an

performed at the Bouffes du Nord.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The st. James Ga
zette demands not only that legal OBJ
stacles be placed in the way of the
purchase of explosive chemicals, but
also the repression of anarchist
speeches and literature.
The Globe calls upon the public pros
ecutors to suppress all the anarchist
organs in London and elsewhere in
Great Britain.
The Westminster Gazette saws it ap-
proves of the most rigorous laws, both
national and international, against the
overt acts of anarchists, or acts show
ing felonious intent. 1t protests, how
ever, against censorship of socialist or
other doctrines supposed to lead to an
archism, as unpopular. 1t says that the

against anarchist outrages.
BERLIN, Dec. 12-The Kleine Jour
nal says it hopes that the anarchist
outrage in the French chamber of dep
uties will not lead to the suggestion in

all purposes in Germany if there were
different public prosecutors.
The Cologne Gazette says it hopes
France will take the initiative step to
promote international measures for the
suppression Of anarchists.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE tone of to-
days editorial comment upon the ex-
plosion in the French chamber shows
plainly the drift of public sentiment
toward special legislation against an
archists. The Post says: "Anarch-
ism has developed so greatly that the
common law no longer suffices to pro-
tect the individual or society. No
land or people is longer safe. Inter
national repressive measures are nee
essary. All adherents of anarcbic
ideas must be expelled or transported.
The society of the nation will be able
to defend itself effectively only when
the whole civilized world shall close
up its ranks against the enemy.
Meantime the formation of citizens
protective league might be tried"
The Tageblat remarks that at last
the French government seems to have
been aroused from its Indifference to-
wards anarchism.
The Vossiche-Zeitung says: THE
government will now be justified in
taking steps against these wild beasts
that murder for the sake of numbering.
The public must also help itself and
establish vigilance committees, accord
ing to American precedents.
