EMILE HENRY, who exploded a bomb
~ the cafe Of the Hotel Terminal in
Paris in 1894, injuring twenty-four per-
sons. had been n student NJ the college
in Paris founded by JEAN BAPTIsTE SAY,
tho economist. where he distinguished
himself in mathematics, standing first
in his class. Afterward in Venice he
was employed a. an engineer on public
works. MARTIAL BOURBON, who vas
blown up in Greenwich Park by a bomb
which he was carrying with the inten-
ton Of destroying the observatory, was
also an educated man and an omnivorous
reader, although a tailor by trade.
VALIANT, or KoNIdsrEIN, who threw
a bomb from the gallery of the Chamber
of Deputies in Paris in 1894, a year when
the anarchists ran amuck in Europe,
committing many outrages, was another
man Of acute but morbid intellect.
II the police had to them
selves only with the type of anarchist
who ia always TO be found when
wanted at his cafe OF pothouse the
duty Of guarding crowned heads and
rulers from assassination would be
simple enough; but to deal with the
degenerate or the crack Drained soli-
tary, who may be his " chemist and
acts on impulse, presents a problem
bristling with difficulties. The only ra-
tional plan, if he can be labelled as an
anarchist, is to keep him under espionage
and report his movements. This the
police Of the Continent endeavor to do,
but it is to be feared that Scotland Yard
does not take the dangerous anarchists
az seriously.
In 1894 there was the same outcry
against English methods Of dealing with
the anarchists that IL heard to-day, and
the London police bestirred themselves
enough to raid the Autonomie Club and
arrest everybody on the premises, but
in the police courts all the prisoners
who had passports were discharged.
About the same time anti-anarchist
laws, providing for summary arrest for
preaching violence and publishing in
fammatory appeals, were enacted in
France, Italy, Germany and Spain. The
worst Of the Barcelona outrages, when
eleven persons were killed and forty
wounded in a theatre, occurred two
years later; in 1897 CANovAs DEL CAS-
TILLo was assassinated, and the follow
ing year a misoreant killed the Empress
of Austria in Switzerland. 1t was then
that the a~nti-anarchist conference of
representatives Of the Continental gov
ernments was summoned to meet in
Rome. Not long afterward King Hum
BERT was assassinated by. ANGELO
BREsc1, an anarchist who had lived in
the United States.
The problem of what to do with the
anarchists seems to be as far from solu-
ton as ever. England cannot longer
avoid responsibility for granting them
an asylum; the British Government
must take c~ognizance of the attempt on
the lives of King ALFONSO and his con-
sort, not only because London is the
only capital where anarchists are still
tolerated, but because the marriage of
the Princess ENA was a diplomatic tri-
umph Of King EDWARDS, Anarchists
expelled from England will naturally
turn to free America for an abiding
place. Some of the most vicious of the
Italian group have recently come over,
the Italian Consul at Baltimore has
warned the Government. 1t devolves
upon the immigration Bureau to deport
every one of them it can lay hands upon.
The anarchist question in the United
States is growing more aout with the
general movement in Europe to drive
the mad dogs of society Out.
