WHAT IS AN ANARCHIST?

Mr.. Wordsworth Donisthorpe is an En-
gllsh writer of some ncte and his opin-
IONS OF anarchy are of some interest. bIr.
Donsthorpe is not himself an anarchist
but he is an individualist, and therefore

Iosophy which the more intelligent of the
ana rchlSts justify themselves WithaI He
presents the anarchist as a rather fine
type OF humanity, impatient, PERHAPS.

whole, generous-hearted. and dangerous

In this theory of social organization

oeed, anarchists are, of all men, the least
aggressive. Their whole political philoso-
phy may be summed up in the words
Let be- They hold that every man has
q right to do whatever he chooses, so
long as he does not thereby violate the
equal rights of his fellows. This is the
creed OF liberty. 1t is a creed which no
civilized people can suppress, and which
even republican France cannot hope sue

individuals recognize the fact that
society is growing organism. They
would no more dream of thrusting highly
developed institutions prematurely upon
people, than they would present an

The extreme anarchist is usually more
saEguine and less patient-perhaps he is
more generous He feels within himself
that he is capable of higher things, tit
for nobler form of social arrangement,
and he gives his fellOw-citizen credit for
equally elevated sentiments. The CUES
ton which troubles him is not How far
are we ripe for the higher social life?
but How is the new regime 10 be
brought about?' BY persuasion or by
force? But let us ask ourselves in all
sincerity, what is the answer to this
question which is taught him by those
in authority? Can any sane person deny
that the answer is writ large in all the
laws of his own country; in the consti-
ton of all countries known to him: i'll the

the dark ages.
Through the knights of Labor the
possibility of victory remains. But the
organization must maintain an agrees
sive campaign against the most pen
etrable position of the combined forces
of mercenary capitalism. The real
test of membership must centralize
around the issues that will concen-
trate the industrial forces in one united
attack on the most vulnerable point
of the enemy's front, and when once
the enemy is in rout and disorder,
the work Of determination will be
easy.
If we honestly believed that the com
mon people would not rise up, ana
through organization, purge this fair
land of the perniciouS system that is
now robbing and depressing them, we
would withdraw from the labor move
ment, and never take part in it again,
for through no other source is there
the slightest hope of success.
We are organizing for our Industrial
uprising, an uprising that will contain
such countless numbers, that all the

1t Is curious to note the utter failure Of
the machine politicians of New York to
appreciate the unassailable fact that the
victory which was achieved at the polls in
New York city last November was the sue
cess of decency and not of any political
party. The truth as to the situation has
often been made plain. but in spite of fire.
quent publication and more or less lengthy
discussion the machine crowd continue to
cry alond for what they deem to be their
share of the spoils. According to the statis-
tics of these hungry politicians Mayor
Strong has turned over to fellow republicans
offices paying an annual aggregate of only
S23, 500, while to democrats who assisted =.

foot up s3S. 400; smaller amount has been
distributed among those VINO are not mem-
bers Of the Pronounced political organiZa-
lions. With these figures as basis. the
spoilsmen have built up an argument in
which is the allegation that Mayor Strong
has dealt unfairly by some of those who
gave him material aid last fall Not word
is said as to the true eligibility of the candi-
dates of the warning factions; not the
slightest consideration is given to the fit
ness of the employees or would-he employees;
the discussion seems to deal with nothing
else but what the practical politicians term
"a fair division" of the spells. or course,
1t is too much to expect that municipal
reform will reach perfection as the result
of one or two even half a dozen CAM
paigns, but it does seem as though the
time had arrived when squarely business

OF course there are a great many MEM
bers of the populist party who are just as
honest as mere mortals possibly can be. but
IL will have to be admitted, even by popu-
lists themselves, that the moral structure
of a populist legislature is about as himsy
as a moral structure can be be and yet con-
tinue to have shadowy sort of existence
This was first made apparent when Me-
braska INDUCED in the expensive luxury of
a legislature in which the old political par
ties were but meagerly represented. When
the session came to close the populist ma
jority concluded that the state ought not
to be burdened with the care of any ma
terial that could be removed from the state
capitol without the aid of derrick so a
very large proportion of the self-constituted
and loudly-proclaimed guardians of the
public purse took possession Of and trans
ported to their respective homes all the
plain and fancy stationery within reach,
every porcelain and hammered brass GUS
pidor In the building. a large and varied
assortment Of chairs. while one business
like pop from the northwest corner OF
the state was credited with abducting an
unopened bundle containing a dozen long
trcoms. In fact the footing of the build
ing was about complete as that carried
out by our famous Feather Buster Legts-
lature" when II retired from office.
1t was supposed that the Nebraska popu-
lists were of an uncommon sort, but later
experiences with other subdivisions of the
same party tend to confirm an impression
that there lad either been neglect in the
curly training Of quite number Of promi-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-02-20

nent popullsts or else that these same men
had backslidden at a high rate Of speed.
The latest accusation of dishonesty Of the
SORT referred to comes from Denver; q
newspaper published In that city declaring
that the populist state officers looted the
capitol building from cellar to garnet.
Among the missing articles are many valu-
ahle pieces Of furniture but the larcenious
operations were not confined to mere chairs
ard tables; the absent property includes
all the stationery, many electric light
globes. gcs and electric light fixtures. rugs,
clocks, marble mantelpieces. desks,
coucheS, CRATES, pictures, tools, cuspidors
and a great many things that would hardly
seem to be worth while taking away. But
a day or so since two detectives traced the
theft and sale of carpet that had been pur-
chased for the state at cost Of 500. 1t
would naturally be supposed that populist
otficials-who claim to be much moro
thoughtful as to public rights and more
careful Of public funds than any of their
political rivals-would be more modest in
their appropriation of material in which
they have but very minute personal prop
erty-interest, but experience-that expen-
sive but neyer-failing teacher-tells another
story. There would doubtless be general
az probation just now of a comprehensive
and MISUNDERSTANDING essay on THE
Influences Of Populism on the Moral
Ser Se."

Responses to the opportunity afforded by
The Star to petition Congress for such leg
islation as Is needed to make effective the
proposition to raise the height of the Great
Falls dam and thus increase the steadily
weakening water pressure are coming into
The Star office In a steady stream, the
volume of which will doubtless Increase
considerably by tomorrow. Naturally. those
who suffer most from the shortage are the
most deeply interested, but the petition
should not be the work merely Of those
who at this time have reasonable ground
for complaint: there should be display OF
practical sympathy by the more fortunate
residents, for unless there Is now general
putting of shoulders to the wheel there will
be widespread lamentation during the COM
ing summer and other summers that Will
follow 1t. With the growth of the city
there can only come increased consumption
of the most necessary Of liquids. and unless
there Is at least corresponding increase in
the supply a distressing shortage must
Inevitably ensue. 1t Is difficult to imagine
how controversy could possibly arise as to
the means by which it is proposed to meet
the great public need. There is. however.
disagreement between the House and Sem
ate: the former declaring In favor of the
speediest possible raising Of the dam, while
the latter has concluded that q ten-thou-
sand-dollar investigation would be much
better. During this week the conference
committee of the two houses will meet tor
the purpose of achieving harmony that
shall result in an appropriation law. To
emphasize the arguments that have been
made In favor of the raising Of the dam 1t
IL deemed wise to have the residents of
Washington join in a petition to Congress.
The Star provides the blank form. OF the
memorial and will see to it that the prayer
full agitation reaches those for whose con-
sideration 1t is intended. The opera
ton is, so far as each individual petitioner
10 concerned, very simple one. There
should be delay in sending the petitions
to The Star office.

When a friend of the lexington and Sol
diers' Home Railway Company last week
asked the House of Representatives to ex-
tend for one year the period during which
the company may maintain poles and over
head wires on New York avenue from 7th
street to Boundary, the statement was
made that such an extension would be en-
tirely proper because the company was en-
gagged in preparing to operate Its roads
with a motor that has every appearance OF
being unobjectionable. At that time 1t did
not appear to those who were even but
slightly acquainted with the situation that
the company needed twelve months from
the first day of July next In which to work
out the reform needed on New York avenue,
and this view OF the case has the support
of the company itself-developed in a letter
sent to the District Commissioners by the
vice president and general manager Of the
company. This particular letter was writ
ten for the purpose of reassuring the Dis
trict authorities as to the new motor, in
which. although it has been In operation
on North Capitol street for several months.
at least one of the District Commissioners
had but a moderate amount of faith. Both
the lexington Company and the company
controlling the magnetic motor which 1t has
adopted appear to be thoroughly satisfied
with their new substitute for the overhead
trolley and they have put on record evil
dence that completely overthrows all argu-
Inent in favor of the continuous obstruc-
ton offered by the poles and wires on New
York avenue. The motor company claims
to be able to install five miles Of double
track construction and have 1t in working
order within one hundred days from the
day Of the order; 1t will guarantee to do
this. From 7th street to Florida avenue
along the lexington route Is about one
mile, so Ii IL quite reasonable to believe
that a change could be made from over
head trolley to electromagnetic traction In
thirty or forty days: the whole line from
eth street to Brookland could be refltted
in seventy or eighty days. The first day
of July-after which there must be no more
of overhead trolley on New York avenue
will not be here for one hundred and thirty
days, of which one hundred and eleven will
be days on which the company may do its
Understanding work without breaking the
Sabbath. If 1t is sincere in it's declaration
as to installing the new system, the COM
pany will at once proceed to carry out Its
expressed intent, and cease to worry Con-
gress in behalf of longer life for the dis
credited and soon-to-be entirely Illegal
equipment on New York avenue.

There were seventy-six men at work on
the new city post-office building today.
Most of them undoubtedly did their best to
push construction onward and upward. but
the slimness of numbers prevented any
marked advance. Three years have elapsed
since operations commenced. yet the third
story framework is still incomplete. The
estimate that names August II. 1900 as the
probable date on which the post-office au-
thorities will take possession has every ap-
pearance of liberality.
