MORE DYNAMITE.

Almost before the echoes of the ex-
plosion in the Chamber of Deputies has
died away comes the sound of another
bomb from the streets of Paris. This
time the fiend who threw the shell more
nearly accomplished his end.
A bomb was cast last evening into a
crowded railway station and score or
more persons was injured. The thrower,
when captured, calmly admitted that ne
is an anarchist and his sole object in
life is to destroy the bourgeoisie, the
harmless, Woodworking common people
of France whose greatest crime is that
they obey the laws that protect them.
Evidently the anarchy problem in
France is not yet settled. Following
close upon the execution of Valiant it
may be regarded by many as challenge
to the law. II is more likely, how
ever, that the perpetrator, Breton,
is crank whose maniacal tenden-
cies have gotten the better of his cour-
age. With the blood of Valiant
scarcely yet washed from the blade of
the guillotine it would require more
courage than the regulation anarchist
possesses unless he were reinforced by
the fortifying element of insanity.
Sane or insane, the fate of Breton will
probably not be pleasant to contemplate.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
Let me call your attention to the following
from the Christian Advocate;
suggestion to the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
ut would be we'll for some responsible person
connected with the Grand Army to examine
carefully into the treatment Of such soldiers
as are at work in the pension Office and other
Government Offices in Washington. and to in
quire whether any attention Is paid
10 the civil service law under present
circumstances. Many things coming to our
notice lead us to believe that whether the old
soldiers have ever received any undue consid-
erations or not at the present time IL is pre-
sumption in some official quarters against q
man IL he fought for his country"
To me, this utterance In the great organ OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church. and by DR..
Buckley, is very remarkable, and should have
extended circulation in the interests of men
who fought for their country.
DIR. Buckley has been called by the partisans

tify that he Is very conservative in political

gestion. in such periodical. by such man.

Now he stands with angry face and arm
upraised, ready to let the whip lash des-

His neck is red and swollen, and the
blood or the sawdust seems about to
burst through the tissues.
-"It is my will, !" he says TO the Eighty
five. "Crawl yel Obey me, and confirm

Is the attitude heroic or ridiculous?
That depends entirely upon the Senate OF
