occasion TO appear before the local courts
and from all accounts. received very
shameful treatment in them. This and
other abuses she has successfully com
bated.
The law IS there represented by Z. o.
Brown, VINO net long ago was candidate
for the bench. Mr.. Brown is a prominent
man in many movements, and Of very
anarchistic tendencies, in spite Of the
fact that he is a Roman Catholic and a
( single taTer.
But Boston is the city In which A.eri-
can anarchists take most pride. There
the movement first received native i'm
petus. and there the cause has won most
sympathy. This is said to be due t. the
ability Of Carl Schurz who, when he hrst
came to America. was virtually believer
in the anarchistic view and articles frsm
his pen were long the chief attractisn in
anarchist journals. \ warm syupathizer
with the movement is likewise Lsuis
Prdng, famed all over the wsrid for his
Christmas and Easter cards and book
lets and who founded the chramo bust
ness in the United States. His warmest
friends are anarchists.
But the NEST enthusiastic anarchist in
F'rston is undoubtedly the ysung million
aire J. Morrison Fuller whose princeiy
home at BrooSline is one Of the resorts OF
the aristocracy of the Hub. Mir. Fuller
has been an anarchist and leader of the
movement since his graduation from Har-
ward a few years ago. He Is personally
acquainted with the leading anarchists OF
all the world and has entertained some Of
them aboard his superb private yacht.
He is one Of the swellest society men Of
his native Boston.
In Boston likewise dwell these proni-
rent anarchists, George Schumman and
his wife Emma. Another leading local an
arehist is Augustus McCraiIh. secretary Of
the Typograph Union, while two Of the
most neted public school teachers in Bes-
ton, William H. Sylvester and George W.
Evans, have for a long time been aHar-
chsts of popularity and influence. 4
warm sympathiser with some Of the aims
of anarchy is also Frank X. Fester, a lead
ing of1cial of the American Federation Of
Labor, articles from whose pen are sftsn
seen in anarchist organs. But Boston is
veritably hst bed of anarchy and leaders
in the movement abound there. Among
them are A. II. Simpson, W. ]. Melvin, ".
d. Fsrest w. A. Smith and very many
others whose names are part of the con-
temporary history of the cause. All the
anarchists of eminence who visit this
country from abroad are sure OF a warm
welcome in the metropolis of New Eng
land.
San Francisco has nsre anarchists Of
wealth than perhaps any city OF its size
in the country. Among them is George
Cummings a prominent manufactured;
Herman Roger, a widely known business
man; Thomas F. Haggerty, an inventor
who unlike the generality of inventors, is
successful. Allen p. Kelly, n journalist Of
great ability and repute, and many others.
And so the list might be indefinitely pro-
longed throughout all the cities of Amer
lea. There are various features of the
movement which cannot fail to impress
the impartial observer. The first of them
fe Ion
seems to posses for people of culture and
means. The next Is the devotion to it's
principles which all the elect feel and
finally, the success with which those in
the movement influence all with whom
they come IN contact.
It shoud always be remembered that an
arhchists do not favor organization and
| oticlality if one may employ a term Of
their own. Anarchists have no congresses
They form no unions or leagues. They
rarely hold public demonstration. The
only noteworthy demonstration they have
ever been concerned in was on the occa-
sion of the dedication or rather the un-
/ yelling Of the monument to the anarchists
/ executed in Chicago To that monument
/ American citizens of means and reputa-
! tion subscribed literally, a fact which ex-
| plains what has long been q puzzle to
many, namely, how the anarchists, who
| have heretofore been deemed poor and
down-trodden and ignorant, could have
/ found the means to commemorate those
whom they style martyrs, in so costly and
! creditable way.
It is noteworthy in this connection
/ that the pardoning of the anarchists by
| Gov. Altgeld was only the result of pa
| tient and persistent agitation which had
! been going on for years. The men who
/ got these convicts out of jail were Ameri-
cans. 1t may seem strange thing TO
| Americans, but it is an undoubted fact
that the anarchists of this country pos
sess a great measure of social and polit-
ical influence.
The public panic is apretty well recog-
! nlzed thing i'll the United States by this
time We now have all sorts Of panics
| Whether thew are aroused by cholera OF
| by political corruption seems to make little
| difference in either their duration or their
intensity. When these panics are at their
hight we enact legislation of one kind and
| another with the same alacrity with which
| everything connected with the subject Is
| forgotten by the time the panic has sub.
sided A very prominent anarchist, Will
liam II. Van Ornum, has effectively dealt
with this matter in one of his numerous
filings against government.
The latest panic in which the American
public revelled was the result of the as
sassipation of the President of the Frenet
republic All sorts of eHpedients were
proposed a remedies for anarchy and the
only certain thing about them was thai
their sponsors had not the fainteSt notis.
