'Germinal, a valiant watchword, from
the scaffold. The cowardly, inquisitorial
Government of Spain and the useless,
cowardly. and inquisitorial capitalists OF
Spain have thrown down the gauntlet.
We shall take it up as the best means or
demonstrating that the ideal never dies.
Holding our dignity in greater estimation
than life, we are disposed to defend by
all means our right to think. feel and
act according to our consciences.
when Angiolilo, the Anarchist who
shot and killed Senior Canovas, Premier
Of Spain, August Sth, was garroted at
Vergara, on August 20tn. he firmly as
cended the steps of the scaffold and
donned the black gown and cap. placing
the cross of the latter at the back of his
head. Then, calmly regarding the spec
tators. he asked to be allowed to speak,
and when the necessary permission was
given to him he uttered clearly the word
'Germinal' Germinal was the term given
TO the seventh month Of the French re-
publican calendar. 1792-lSOs. which began
March 21st and ended April 18th. After
uttering this word the assassin sat on
the bench of the garrote and the execu-
tor adjusted the iron collar round his
neck AS the executioner was about TO
cover the prisoners face Angiolillo asked
him to leave it uncovered. The execu-
toner did so, the screw of the garrote
was turned, and Angiolllo was put to
death. His corpse was exposed until
o'clock in the evening, when 1t was
buried.
"All the spectators were greatly struck
by the Anarchists attitude, and there was
much speculation as to the meaning OF
his dying word. 'Germinal,' 1t being
generally believed to have been exchang-
ed between the condemned man and some
friends whom he expected to be about the
scaffold."
