NO ADMISSION FOE ANARCHISTS.

Many persons must have recognised the SIN
lister import Of the dispatch announcing that the
murder OF the Spanish Prime Minister hnd been
promptly followed by tho expulsion from France
of two Anarchists, one OF whom was on bis
way TO the United States, and that all the Gov
ernments OF Europe had resolved on decisive
measures TO diminish the number OF sworn
enemies Of order and civilization within their
borders. II Is quite natural that they should
take this course, but It would be foolish and
discredtable on our part to receive With COM
posure the news OF a prospective Invasion by
these malignant scoundrels and adopt no pre-
cautions to prevent t. Sensible citizens every
where will be glad to hear that the public au-
thorities are not indifferent 10 this matter. but

chists out OF the country, so far as tie law can

Few things help any refcrm so much as the

to incur ndefned and inchoac opposition It is

apparent Perhaps il would prefer unclvll ser
vice. or something civil that did not require
service. But we think ,hai it had none Of these
things In mind. and that its name Is only the
result Of ignorant laundering. We believe that
il IS anti" with regard to examinations for ap-
pointmcnt to the civil Service. This is quite
natural with office seekers so ignorant that they
do not know what Civil Service Is. but are GER
tain that they are against everything connected
with the introduction Of Civil Service Reform
while they do not dare say they are IN Anti
Civil Service Reform League Another mis-
homer is the use Of the word Republican. A
series of Republican platforms and series Of
Republican Presidents. including the present
one have favored the maintenance and extern

we have a National Republican Free Trade
League and National Republican Fiat Money
League it may be in order TO call National Re-

the Ant-Civil Service League most excellent
