HERR MOST, THE ANARCHIST.
He In Given a Year In the Peniten-
tiary for Publishing a Sedi-
tious Article.

New York, Oct. 15.-Johann Most,
the anarchist, was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary yesterday in
the court of special sessions for pub
fishing in his paper, the Freiheit, a
seditious article on the day follow
ing the shooting of the. late President
Mckinley.
For a long time Herr Most, as he
was Familiarity known all over the
United States, was considered the
leader of the anarchists in the United
States. His name was almost n
synonym for fire, bloodshed and as
sassination. For the past two or
three years he has been inactive, hay-
ing in a measure fallen into disfavor
with his own people. The publication
of his paper was his only active par
ticipation in anarchism.
The article in question was entitled
Murder Against Murder"
In his defense Most claimed that the
paper containing the article was
printed and ready for distribution be-
fore the president was shot. Also
that it was a quotation from an article
published so years ago and repub-
lished by him Is years ago.
After imposing the sentence, Justice
Hinsdale read the opinion of the
court, in which he said:
1T is no answer to the evil and
criminal nature of this article to
claim it was written for the purpose
of destroying crowned heads. 1t in
culcates and enforces the idea that
murder is the proper remedy to be
applied against rulers. The fact that
it was published so years ago and
again republished Is years g only
emphasizes and gives added point t.
the criminality of the republishing of
it at any time. 1t shows deliberate
intent to inculcate and promulgate
the doctrines of the article. This we
hold to be a criminal act. 1t is not
necessary to trace any connection in
this article with the assassination of
the late president. The offense here,
the same as il the bloody event had
never occurred. The murder of the
president only serves to illustrate and
illuminate the enormity of the crime
of the defendant in teaching his dia-
bolical doctrine"
should Grasp the NettIe Firmly.
London, Oct. 15.-The Times, com
menting editorially upon the convic-
ton of JOHANN Most, the anarchist,
considers that the sentence is entire
ly inadequate for such a gross out
rage upon public feeling" and com
plains that in both Great Britain and
the United States there is lacking O
disposition to grasp the nettIe firm.
