headed riot in the province of Benevento,
Italy. IN which eighty men participated.
The rioters burned the archives at Letlno,
took possession of all moneys in the treas
ury, and distributed the same among
themselves. A month later the famous
REVOLUTIONARY Congress met at Ferviers,
france, and here Krapotkipe made his
1lrst appearance as an anarchist under the
| name of 'Levachot'
In 1878 there appeared the first anarch-
were Brousse and Krapotkine, and the pa
per was called L'Avant Garde. 1t was
about, this time that Hoedel proclaimed
anarchy IN Germany. Moncasi tried to
assassinate Alfonso XII, and Passamenti
the King of Italy.
The second anarchistic congress met at
F'reIburg, during which Reclus submitted

"In 1879 L'Avant Garde was suppressed
IN france, and Herzig began the publica-
tion or lie Revolte at Geneva. About
this time krapotkine, a writer on lie Re-
vote, set out on lecture tour, holding his
ilrst meeting at Chaux de Fonds, mining
town, where he preached propaganda by
the deed. Pushing on to Marseilles he or
gained a convention which proclaimed
the principle of appropriation without in
oemnlty, and collective appropriation of
ton that Ottero Gonzales declared his con-
version to anarchy, and the following year
ne attempted to asSassinate Alfonso XII.
In 1881 anarchistic delegates from all
parts OF Europe withdrew in anger from
convention of the Workingmen's party
held III Paris, and later met in London,
where they proclaimed the unification of
the principles Of propaganda in theory
and propaganda by the deed. Krapotkine
about this time was driven out of Switzer-
land and went to Lyons, where he con-
t!nued to preach and organize throughout
all OF southeastern France. With Jean
Grave, who wrote under the nom de plume
OF 'Jehan le Vagre,' he established LIE
Droit Social, and also published for a
time La Soeiete au Lendemain de la
RevoIuuon. A reign of anarchy followed.
There were outbreaks at Monceau-les-
Mines, Marsellles was flooded with threat
enlng placards, an explosion occurred in
theater at Bellecour, dynamite bombs
were discovered at Macon, Lyons, Paris.
Vienna and Annonay.
Frances Guy, one of Krapotkine's con,
verts, had published in the meantime a
work called 'Prejuges ct PAnarchie,'
which had done much to infame the minds
of the peasantry. Pupil and teacher were
arrested on the same day at Thonon and
imprisoned at Lyons. During 1888 forty
seven anarchists were arrested at Lyons,
seven were condemned in Paris and about
$50 driven out of Switzerland. Malatesta
and Meslino were imprisoned, Cafiero, fiery
orator and ever jealous in urging propa-
ganda by the deed, went insane. Cyvoct,
convicted of blowing up the theater at
Bellecour, was condemned to die but was
pardoned later by President Grevy. From
this time on to 1886 anarchist outrages
were few. Krapotkine had been released
from prison and proceeded in less than
three months to establish four journals,
besides doing good deal of lecturing.
I'm 1886 Gallo attacked Gustave Martin in
the Bourse, Louise Michel was imprisoned,
factories and shops were pillaged at Charlie
Chicago. During the following year five
anarchists were acknowledgements Duval
in Paris and four of the Haymarket rioters
in Chicago. From 1887 to 1894 six anarch-
lists were executed in France and Italy and
nine condemned to life imprisonment.
During the latter year came the conviction
Of Jean Grave, the attempted assassination
of the Project of Barcelona, Spain, an ex-
plosion of bomb in the Cafe Terminus
thrown by Emile Henry.
.'The explosion at the Cafe Foyot, Paris,
and the execution of valiant, the crime of
Santo and the more recent outrages of his
class are still fresh in the public mind.
s'In the United States Justus Schwab
and Herr Most are considered the most
prominent anarchistic leaders. Schwab
keeps saloon at so First street, New York
City, and Most publishes paper in Brook
Ign called the Freiheit. Schwab gloried in
the assassination of President Carnot, and
his freedom of expression came near caus-
Ing his arrest.
'His saloon is adorned with anarchistic
trophies, photographs of prominent anar-
chists. On the wall opposite the bar hangs
framed telegram from Chicago announc-
ing the Haymarket horror, over which is
the inscription:
I" Labor omnia vincit.'
"Most has already served two terms at
BlackwelPs Island on charge of melting
to instruction. In his journal he has
frequently urged editorially the use of the
knife in assassination, because only dead
shots could kill with the pistol. At one
time his paper carried the standing head,
Long live the torch and the bomb.' In
the New York rogues' gallery Most is
numbered 1888, and his occupation is
given as leader of the anarchists"
