In recent years the conduct OF anarch-
lists and socialists toward the Rothschiids
has become much more violent and has
been greatly intensified by the anti-Semlte
agitation OF such men as Drumont IN
France. and Stoecker in Germany In
deed, the anti-ScFnite party may be held
fully responsible for this latest assault
upon Baron Aiphonse Rothschild. The
Libre Parole tDrumont's paper has We'd
with the Revoke and the Pere Peinard IN
and incendiary cartoons. The dag after
the outrage occurred the Libre Parole ap-
peared with this headline running across
its front page in letters an inch long:
''Une ngeance-Explosion chez Roths-
child" The Anarchist journals, however,
gave little attention TO il. and what ex-
ultatiOn they may have felt has certainly
not been expressed.
OF all the RothschiIds, Baron Aiphonss
is The only one who has not neld ais
peace in face az the attacks OF the anti
Semites and the pretens.ons of the So
cialists. Several months ago he allowed

question ny NJ Jules Huret. and an ac-
count of the conversation was published
in Figaro. The baron said many notable
and interesting things in defense of the

Against this the baron vehementiy pro-
tested. declaring that for his part he was
no defender Of the social drones. Work

law"
AS one of the hardest-worked men in
France he might we'll say this. Toward
the end OF the interview N. Huret asked
the nnancier whether he thought that
riches made happiness. For a moment che
millionaire was silent. and then. With
great feeling. said: "Ah! no. That would
be too glorious. Happiness is something
quite distinct from money. ! suppose there
are some advantages in possessing wealth,
or people would not strive so much 20 gain
u. but happiness-true happIness-ls only

new. but il comes with singular force
from one who. Ike Koheleth, has proved
the vanity Of abundance. His father
seems to have held something Of the same
opinion before him. One day. when Helm
rich HeIne called upon him. he found him
strangely pertdrbed. What is the nat

was the reply. Until see you throwing
