dividual will. It's keynote is violence
and it's favorite method murder. In a
book called THE Dynamiter," which
had great vogue, the fundamental
sentiment of anarchy is well expressed:
"A torpedo" cried Zero Frightening, "a
torpedo in the Thames! superb dear
fellow! 1 recognize in you the marks
of an accomplished anarch."
1t is a remarkable, though not I'M
down authority and power, anarchy
should have exaggerated the evils 1t
was designed to suppress and have been
organized into the most mysterious and
the most absolute combination that has
ever been devised. There are different
classes of anarchists. Some are of a
benevolent type and repudiate the doc
trine of assassination as an end, though
practically accepting it as a means.
Others regard the knife, the bullet. the
explosive, as agencies to be employed
at intervals and in emergencies. The
mass of men, however, who have been
drawn into the movement. consider the
murder of rulers and statesmen. de-

still is a converging point for revolu-

An itemized list of political assassina-

been recently published which, if cor

lurid light upon the growth of anarchy,
