PUBLIC ENEMIES.
Anarchists Who Rely ON
Terror to Excite Fear.
FRANCE AROUSED TO ACTION.
The Assassination of President Garnet
WiliiResult in an Infiamed War
Against Anarchists.

Santo, the Italian anarchist, who
assassinated President Garnet, oil
the French Republic, says the New
York Sun, belongs to an organized
gang of miscreants whose vicious
instincts and criminal designs skulk
behind screen OF satanic philoso-
ply, and who have invented a
formula with which to justify lust,
robbery, and butchery in the eyes
of the failures and outcasts Of the
current generation. They proclaim
themselves enemies of society, as if
there were some new toach of dig
nifty in title with which thieves
aud cutthroats have long been
branded. They pretend that their
aim is to demolish the entire fabric
of the existing social order. so far as
this is founded on the principle OF
individualism and as, with the rest
of the fabric, prisons and guillotines
would disappear, one can easily see
that the apostles of plumber and
homicide are deeply interested in
the triumph of their so-called cause.
To that end the Anarchists RELY
on the effect OF terror, but as the
exciting OF a transitory panic among
women and children, OF among the
peaceful occupants Of a church, q
theatre or a restaurant, would not
shield the active propaganda from
trial and execution at the hands of
the law, he essays to paralyse the
arm Of Justice by threatening to
wreak reprisals on the official
champions of the established social
system. During the recent trials Of
valiant and Henry, menacing let.
tiers were received by the presiding
Judges, the jurors, and the prose
cutting attorneys; and when Presi.
dent Carnot refused to interpose the
pardoning power on behalf of the
last named convict, he was warned
that he would shortly be made the
victim of anarchistic retaliation.
The threat has been carried out. and
one of the most amiable, upright,
and high minded men in French
political life has been laid low. The
foulness of the deed, however, is
matched by the stupendous folly of
it. Santo and his accomplices will
find that, instead Of freezing the in
stinct of self>protection among
Frenchmen, they have infamed it ;
and that far from assuring to them
selves impunity through the tear of
the guardians of order, they will
arouse the whole French nation to
set in motion the tremendous ma
chinery of its civilization, until the
preaching of anarchistic doctrines is
smothered and punished like incite>
ment to murder, and until the pro-
fessional assailants OF society are
stamped out like vermin, and shot
like mad dogs.
