ANARCHY.
1t is very evident that the time has
fully arrived when concert OF action
among European governments is neces-
sary for the suppression of anarchy
The "reds" appear to be omnipreSent.
They make themselves known in places
and at times when least expected, and
by some wanton murder horrify the
world.
Anarchy is the manifestation of the
most abandoned and reckless phase of
human nature. The object to be at
tanned by the perpetrators of the out
RACES so frequently .chronicIed is not
benefcent. They themselves confess
as much. Vengefulness is alone their
motive. If man is frugal, industrious
and prosperous. he becomes an object of
attack. His domestic happiness is as
sailed as an evidence that he is an ariS-
tocrat; his desire to better his condition
is regarded as an assault upon the in
terests of the masses of the people.
Shiftlessness is the only quality that is
esteemed virtue, vagabondism is del
fled.
The anarchist is blot upon humanity.
he is by nature criminal, by educa-
ton vagrant, and is beyond the hope
of redemption. He Will not work to
better his condition in life-he does not
want to be respected or self-respecting.
He would hate himself if he should be
betrayed into doing an honest days
work for his own benefit. or performing
an act that might confer blessing upon
his kind. His object in life is to destroy
what others have built up. A tasteful
home is his detestation. well-condi-
toned man his adherence. The pro-
motion of human misery is his especial
object and ain in life; happiness is
condition which to him is abnormal and
to be condemned.
OF late these wretches seem to have
obtained recruits i'll every country in
Europe, and have become, so numerous
aud daring as to threaten the existence
of society and government. Their
fiendishnesS has been especially mani
fest in France. The republic has been
tolerant towards them. They have re-
warded that tolerance by the boldeSt
and most dastardly crimes in all history.
Assemblages of peaceful and inoffen-
sive citizens have frequently been start
led and dispersed by the explosion Of
bombs in their midst. and the slaughter
that has ensued has been cause for pub
lie and demoniac rejoicing. There were
no public benefits to be obtained from
the crimes of Ravachol, Valiant or
Henry. If they had succeeded in ac-
complishing their fell purpose the
world would have been no better. brit
poorer-with an access of human woe
and loss of material wealth. Two of
these miscreants died upon the guillo-
tine, shouting the praises of anarchy:
the third will soon follow. And it
seems as if death had no terrors for
them-that they court rather than avoid
it. 1t is peculiar psychological phe-
nomenon, and cannot be accounted for
upon ordinary grounds. Men have been
burned at the stake for principle, and
have died with shouts of ecstasy upon
their lips. and the world has wondered.
The wonder is increased when we see
men die for crime with the same man.
ifestations of joy.
1t is very evident that the anarchists
can never be made amenable to reason.
They are too perverse for that. They
can only be suppressed by eXtermina-
tiop-by the exercise of the EXTREMIST

wild beasts are hunted, and killed

one. Anarchists are of the same nature
as the tiger, and deserve no more mercy.

| The banding together of all the gov
ernments of Europe for the extirpation
of anarchy is measure Of justifiable
self-defense. They are menaced by a
merclless foe, conspiring in secret to
overthrow all law and order and to de-
stroy life and property remorseiessly.

own medicine in allopathic doses.
