Equal and exact Justice to all men, Of whatsoever state or persuasion, religious or political.

The heading to thn cablegrams in tho papers, "Tho Anarchists" lias become quite familiar. There is a sameness in the details of their outrages although they have been perpetrated from time to time in nearly every European country. Dynamite is the weapon of these people and this they use for the destruction of buildings in the different cities in which they congregate. It is difficult for a mind ordinarily constituted to conceive that any number of men should have united for such a purpose, and it is equally so to imagine what they can possibly expect to gain by their acts. The Widest stretch of the imagination can hardly lead them to the belief that the blowing up of buildings will lead to a change in the form of Government or any amelioration of their position. There may be some excuse for those who commit crimes to bring about a revolution in order to release themselves and their country from tyrannical rulers. The anarchist of to-day has no such excuse, as the means are manifestly quite inadequate for the purpose. As their title implies, these men are at war with society, they smart under the restrictions which organised (jOvuminiMit places upon their natural propensities.—housebreaking, highway robbery and murder are nearly certain in these days to tind for them quarters in a gaol, or lead to their being handed over to the tender mercies of the public executioner as thn cw. may be. They want that which they have not worked for, and see no other means of acquiring it than by reducing society to a state of savugedom. As regards their aspirations they are the same as those of the Socialists, the former attempts to g-iin their end by intimidation the htrnr by moans of thn ballot-box, nnrl it ir- n very moot question I

whetlior the two classes of revolutionists are not, iillios, equally as the Irish-American dynamiters an; unquestionably of the constitutional party. A telegram from Paris dated February 23rd, states that some dynamite cartridges were .stolen from a quarry and were found liy the police concealed under the coals in a room hired by a Socialist Club. It is tolerably evident that th«se Anarchists are increasing in number, 'ind the duty devolves upon every Government to hunt them down, and when caught, show them as little mercy as is considered the due of their prototypes the four-footed wild beasts.
