this region. The marriage of the two
daughters Of Elisee Reclus according to
the rites Of anarchy attracted general at
teption all over Europe In 1883 Krapot-
kline was arrested and condemned at
Lyons, and Cyroet at Marseilles for the
bombs at the Bellecnur. There was also
q riot at Paris, with the plumber Of bak-
cries, and arrests and COMBINATIONS all
over Europe. The next two years were
comparatively quiet.
In 1886 Louise Michel, condemned for
Che plumber of the bakeries, Krapotkine
and others condemned in 1883 were liber-
ated. Krapotkine went to London, where
he became at once persona grata with the
London reviews and has since lived there
and Louise Michel resumed her revolu-
tionary work at Paris.
Numerous criminal attempts have been
crowded into the last three years which
may be briefly mentioned since they show
the change of policy that has been effected
since the proclamation of anarchist prin-
ciples decade ago. Ten years ago the
anarchists were not SO ready to excuse ev.
cry form of crime. It was the original
theory of the nihilists that their subver-
directed against authority in some one of
its forms, as, for instance, the car or the
police.
In other parts of Europe the principle
was originally the same. The theory was
that the sovereign, or that which repre-
sented the public authority should be at
tackled. AS anarchy, however favored the
destruction of capital it was only logical

their turn. Ravachol, i'm depositing his

the hated bourgeOisie.' Emile Henri, in
throwing his bomb into cafe, aimed only
at the destruction of some Of the represent
atives of a social class. 1t will be remem-
bered that he had intended to initiate the
tragedy of Barcelona by throwing his in
fernal machine into a theater, which was
prevented only by the fact that the seats in
the upper part of the house, whence he
could have dropped it with the greatest
effect and. have escaped, were. all taken.
He had previously thrown a bomb intend

a police station, where it had cost the lives

It remains to. be seen whether the laws
recently passed in France will accomplish
all that is expected of them. Probably
5000 domiciliary visits have been made
since they went into operation. The an
archist newspapers have been suppressed
everywhere, and the miscellaneous publ
cations, if printed in Belgium or in Lon
don, are brought into France and circu-
lated with great difficulty
Little has been heard of the nihilists in
Russia for some years past, because they
are watched as nowhere else and when a
plot is formed it is promptly discovered,
and the repression is immediate and Sc
we're. The anarchists of Germany do not
attempt to propagate their faith by deeds,
knowing, in the first place, that it would
be useless, because it would set society
against them, but also that acts of violence
would lead to their determination. The
Germans are on principle more reason
