ANTI I-ANARCHIST BILL.


French senate Passes the Measure
without Alteration.
In the French Senate a report was read
favoring the immediate adoption Of the anti
anarchist bill, which passed the Chamber Of
Deputies recently without alterations, NJ.
Floauet protested against such action, saying
that the measure demanded penalties that
would strike at any citizen A jury was the
only rightful Judge of the so-called mcite-
ments mentioned in the bill. Here NJ. Froquet
stopped and began turning his notes, apIar
emily having lost the thread OF his speech.
Senators began crying Speak speak, and
then there was an embarrassing silence. NJ.
Floauet, who was obviously i'll, turned to
President Challemel-LacOur who, seeing
that VI. Floquet was unable TO proceed, sus-
pended the sitting.
After an interval the sitting was res umed
but as NJ Floquet was still unable to con
tinue, NJ. BeaumanOir spoke In opposition to
the bill and NJ. Dupuy replied. He said the
bill was In no sense anti Republican. but had
been designed to establish Il line Of demar-
cation between Republcansm and disorder.
NJ. Arago argued that the best remedy for
nnarchism was free democratic govern
ment.
The Senate approved all OF the articles OF
the bin and the whole measure was passed by
"A vote OF 205 to 35.

Reports from United States consuls
in Mexico to the State Department
warn Americans against omigrating to
Mexico, with view to permanent
settlement, with insufficient means, or
without informing Themselves in re-
liable way as to the prospects for
earning livelihoods. Many Americans
have been induced by slluring state
ments as to the cheapness of coffee
raising, etc, to emigrate to Mexico
within the past year, and some have
lost their all by doing so. There are
good opportunities in Mexico for en-
terprise, frugality and thrift if backed
by the resources necessary to success
in new country.

enger was ordered to open the safe
but he explained that it was locked

y, as the star Of the Inside Track
For half a dozen years or more this
young woman has turned the
country, making the most of her
bookings south of the Mason and
Dixon line, and she has been receiv-
ed with a degree of popular and So
cial regard rarely accorded to one
of her years. In all this time she
has been seen in nearly all the pop
ular standard comedies and dramas
of the domestic school, as well as in
some Of the classics. She has dis
played a range of powers taking in
a line of characters from the Tom
boy and the soubrette to the most
exacting of the heroines of the
emotional dramas, and has success
fully embodied some of the crea-
tions Of Bulwer, Sardou and D En-
merry.
No better comment can be made
upon the remarkable range of Miss
Holman's talents than to recall
some of the plays in which she has
been distinctly successful. Among
them are Leah, the Forsaken,
East Lynne" "Lucretia Borgia,
"a Celebrated Case" "The Two
Orphans" '"The Buckeye, "Our
Angel, " "The Lady of Lyons" and
many other equally noted plays.

There are too many idle men in
the country for even the hardest
workers, among the laboring classes
to achieve general prosperity. This
class of drones in the great hive of
human industry, are in reality par
isites, and that too of the worse
class, eking out existence by suck
ing the life blood of honest toll
While the whole burden Of this sup
port does not fall upon the laboring
classes, yet sufficient portion
thereof falls to their share to make
the burden a grievious one and tax
to the utmost their slender store,
which in many instances barely suf-
fees for the wife and children of
the toiler. Let the wise heads of
our country work out solution to
this problem, by devising some
means of putting these idle thous.
