THE ANARCHIST.

feeling caused by the arrival of the
Ventura had an extraordinary effect
1t was a day to be remembered. A
morning of gloom frightened by the
sunlight caused by the announcement
that the wound was not necessarily
fatal, but that the President might and
in all human probability would live.
One has now time to consider the in
strument which committed the crime
and attempted the murder, and the Or
CARNATIONS which were concerned in
it, and also time to consider how long
we are going to suffer such a snake to
warm itself in our very bosom, till it
wakes strong and fat and then fastens
its venom-crusted jaws upon our great
est and best.
Leon Czolgosz is the son of Russian
Poles who had come to the United
States in 1859 or 60. He himself was
born in Detroit and educated in the
schools of Detroit Much good his edu-
cation has done him. His parents must
have been intensely ignorant and sup
erstitious. Any one who has ever been
in Russian Poland or in fact III any
part of Poland knows how degraded,
brutalized and ignorant the population
is. The parents must have had some
mechanical skill which enabled them
to support tl.eir famils and start their
children in the world, but the home
must have been sordid to a degree.
Graded in the slums of Detroit and

education in the schools Czolgosz goes
10 Cleveland, gets work, reads socialis-
tic and anarchistic books and pamph-
let's, muddles his brains, what he has
of them, with cheap beer and accord
ing to his own account was pretty
well known il the West as a socialist"
Which means that he could rant and
roar at anarchistic meetings. and ex-
press himself in language that dripped
with rancor and venom, and when
schOoled by more powerful minds than
mis- own could howl murder and gore to
an accompaniment of Russian, Polish
and low German oaths, while the books
and stems clattered upon the greasy
tables and the atmosphere reeked with
SNiOhSCob VI SlOIndCn turning TO-
bacco. This has been Mr.. Czolgosz's
career, and the career of many thou
sands like him.
Such material is easily used by de-
signing fanatics. 1t is upon such ma
1erial that they work, and from the
wages of these half educated. ILL

of the anarchists of the United States
IS thoroughly organized. There are
centers in various important states and
cities. and the headquarter houses are
by no means poor Each center con-
tains the regular walking delegate,
whose business it is to keep the mall
contents together and to feed the flame
of hatred against all forms of govern
ment. Then every now and again some
great light like Emma Goldman ap-
pears upon the scene and rants and !
Toars, and fires the blood of her half
crazy followers, and we have an ex-
plosion such has occurred just recently,
= These anarchists have for their aim
at present the striking at the heads
of all governments, no matter what the :
government may be, It was only a few
years ago that one of the crazed ruff
ans started out to STAY a monarch, and |
the Empress of Austria was his victim
Poor lady, most charitable, most retir-
ing, living a blameess life and doing
all the good she could, she fell a vic
tim to one of the most cowardly at
tempts which ever was perpetrated, and |
yet in the eyes of anarchists something
heroic had been done, and they re-
joiced.
1t is the utter cowardliness of the !
anarchist which strikes one He creeps ,
up to his victim under the guise of !
friendliness, or is the most enthusiast
tic of a shouting crowd, and then comes
the bastard blow or shot. King Hum
bert of Italy was assassinated when he .
was leaving some athletic sports, where |
he had distributed the prizes, and the |
people were cheering him Justify. The !
assassin had crept up under the guise |
of loyalty and then fired his fatal shot. |
over the death of King Humbert the |
New Jersey headquarters of anarchism
held a great demonstration of rejoicing. |
1t was their man, who had left their
lodge to go and do the deed and had |
succeeded, and naturally they were
elated over their infamous success. !
They remind one of witches dancing !
round the chaldron Of He'll broth in !,
which all that is foul and fetid has
been mingled
The question is how long we are 60
ing to nurse this brood of snakes in
our bosom. With our love of free
speech and free action We hate to in
terfere with any one. But it is evident
that we cannot allow a set of irrespon-
sible assassins and their aiders and
