Death to kings!" Down with governmentfs

''To hell with capitalism!"
 These are some Of the toasts that will be offered tonight at the annual celebration in many American and Italian cities of the anniversary of the assassination of King Humbert T., father of the present king of Italy. Anarchism has it's ''saints'' and s'martyrs'' and it's festivals, and of the latter the two most generally ob- served are the anniversaries of the Haymarket riot and the staying of King Humbert by Saint Bresci, Martyr"
 It was thirteen years ago today. July 29, 1900, that the beloved Humbert was killed at Monza by the anarchist l assassin Bresci The king was driv- | ing when the attack was made and died before reaching the palace. Bresci declared that he had left America to kill the king, but denied that he had any accomplices.
 Three years ago the Italian anar- chists plotted to 'tceIebrate'' the fes- tivaI of s'St'' Bresci by assassinating Humbert's widow, Dowager Queen Margarita, but one of the anarchists confessed, afterward committing sui- l eide, and the plot was foiled. | Of a very different nature will be the observance today at the chapel ex- piartoire erected by order of Margar- | ita on the very spot at Monza where l the late king was shot down. Memor- 1 iaI services are held each year on the anniversary Of Humb berts death in l the chapel, a triumph of the art of 1 architecture.
 Victor Emmanuel, who begins the fourteenth year of his reign to-day, l has been attacked by anarchists on | several occasions. He has been call ed '+the most democratic sovereign in | leaders are often invited to the pal ace, but this has not saved him from the murderous attentions of the an- | archists.
 It was 121 years ago to-day that a band of some 500 revolutionists from Marseil1es marched into Paris, singing I the Marseillaise. It was the first l time that that immortal hymn had been heard in the French capital, but 1 within a day all Paris was singing it. T A few days later the reign of terror
 was ushered in, when Swiss guards
 servants and officials of the Tuilleries
 to the number of eight hundred, were
 nassacred, while the bands played the Marseillaise.
 The hymn has often seemed to serve
 as an indictment to violence. It has Il been heard in many American cities
 during labor troubles, and rioting has
 almost invariably followed. The fem mine Bashibazoukas of England smash windows and destroy property
 to the air of the Marseillaise. Dis
 content with the existing order ha; l for over a century found it's nus1ca,

 music composed by Rouget de1@4lle 1 Socialists and syndica1ists, suffragettes

 all shades, find inspiration in the Mar l seillaise. In France the hymn fl popular with all classes, save the roy alists and the Bonapartists, to whom it recalls unpleasant memories. Flo,

 a genius and his song has been the thu ! inspiration of great deeds as we'll al : ignoble ones. For ever in thine eyes
