ANARcH1srIC ACTIVITY.


1t is not difficult to understand the wave
of Indignation and horror which has
swept over all Europe as Il result, of the
ASA ssna ton Of the Empress of AUS
tria-
II Death in the frenzy of battle seems
robbed Of more than half its horrors
4 and even when it comes from dis
ease, with friends ana loved ones how
s ering around to minister to the wants
and TO assuase as far as possible the
pains attending the dissolution of body
and soul. 1t is not SO bad. but when the
grim monster turks in the keen edge of
the assasin's dagger or in the leaden bull
let that speeds from behind to its work
of destruction. there is something APP
palling and paralyzing in the swift and
insidious stroke of the dread adver-
sary
While there can be no justification
FOR the work Of the assassin under any
4 conditions that may exist. there seems
to have been less excuse for the sue
cessful attempt upon the life. of the
4 Queen of Austria than upon any un-
fortunate who has ever been sacrificed
upon the altar Of political fanaticism
SO far as it is possible to learn her
!. stormy and turbulent life was devoted
\ to deeds of love and charity, which should
have gained for her the loyalty and
admiration of all AS a matter of fact,
the assassin had no word of excuse for
! his deed. He had no grievance against
Y the Queen In his own language. he
IA hated the rich,'' and like the coward
and poltroon that he was he selected a
woman and struck his blow without
warning.
The question of how to deal with
these beings, whose hands are against
all men save the handful who hold their
own dangerous sentiments is one of the
great problems of the day. In spite or
NJ the 5repressive measures that have
h been adopted the anarchistic idea seems
& 70 flourish. Whatever may be the
policy Of wisdom in dealing with this
i question, however, the duty of every
y government a plain in one direction at
least Whether the hydra headed mon
ster of murder and assassination max s
itself apparent it should be stamped
out without mercy. The example of
B Chicago. which treated Its HayInarket
rioters in such summary manner
that the salutary influence of It's
SShempen arguments Still hold the anar-
8chists in awe, should be emulated in
So other places. These men appreciate
81 mercy about as much as a mad dog
would the most abtrusive process of
reasoning. The only argument they re-
connie Is the logic OF brute force, and
ssS the only weapons with which to fight
them is the hangman's rope, the gull
W aotine and the headmans axe
It is sad to think that men can de-
scsnd so far below the high plane upon
I'D which civilization has placed them as
70 become enemies of society but when
hey deliberately place themsclvs be
