THE SEEDS or ANAn,nY.

Tbs bill introduced In tho House Of
Congress by Representative william
A. Stone aims tremendous blow at
anafchlsm, but In view Of the terrible
deeds OF members Of that organization,
the enactment Of some such measure
will be endorsed by all friends Of law
aud order and peace among men. The
proposed bill defines As an anarchist
any person who belongs 10 society
that countenanoes the unlawful taking
Of human life or the destruction Of
property, and makes II capital otiente
for such persons TO attempt
violence against tho lie or
property Of their fellow men.
The measure IL truly Draconic In It,
severity, but something must be done
to meet an abnormal condition. The
knife Of the surgeon ia sometimes the
only ell sionl remedy, and tie disease
Of anarchy, threatening the very life
Of the social organization, should Ger.
tainly not be treated with palliatiyes.
IL needs radical measures.
IL may be doubted, however, whether
legislative enaciments alone can &c.
compllsh the object. The fact OF the
matter is, as viii appear to anyone no
gives the subject a deeper thought,
that tho sentiments Of anarchists
are not confined 10 the menu

Is an alarming lack Of regard Tor the
