Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1893. THE ANARCHIST OUTRAGES.

The cablegrams of tha last few days have been of a startling character—at least those from Paris. They give ac counts of a most diabolical outrage committed upon the member* of the Chamber of Deputies while the cham ber was in session. And while there is reason for congratulation that no loss of life followed the attempt to destroy the President of the Chamber, with as many of the Deputies as the bomb thrown into their midst could reach, there is little cause for congratulation that there are alive upon the face of the earth, and moving about in civil ised communities, demons with brain enough to construct such a missile and the kind of hellish, heartless courage re quired to throw it. Fiendish outrages of the kind referred to are usually per petrated by some insane individual, not responsible for his actions. When this is the case a merciful judge usually passes the offender on to some asylum out of which he never comes alive, and thus the safety of other people from his murderous propensity is secured. But this outrage, and the one in Barce lona in November, which resulted in the death of a large number of people, were not the work of individual luna tics, but were committed by mea acting as the representatives of a class of men banded together to cause an upheaval with the object of overturning the pre sent order of things in social life throughout the world. The flead of the Paris Chamber outrage—a man named Vaillant—has been arrested, and makes no secret of his guilt, no secret of his regret tljajb his, object failed. And what was; that benign pb ject? It was the death of the President and, he hoped, I§Q of the Deputies. The bomb was aimed at the President, but the arm of the thrower was clutched in the act of throwing by a woman, and the bomb struck a pillar of the chamber in its course, and burst in mid air. But for this little incident there is no saying what fearful mischief might have been done. The infernal machine wa^ composed of highly ex plosive material and wb#e it was equally dangerous to the man hiaiself who used it—he] in fact had a leg in jured and had his nose blown off—this only shows what the terrible infatua tion of thes^ men will compel them to do. The Barcelona outrage was quite as bad as the more recent one in Paris. Rather worse, in fact, as it has been found thajb it was contrived, arranged, and carried out—so far as the plan was carried out —by a band of plotters. There was a fashionable performance of theoperaof -"William Tejl '•' in the £ieeo Theatre, mi &n audience of 40QQ were listening to the music.. The second act had been reached when a bomb was thrown from one of the galleries [nfco the stalls. Its im mediate explosion killM people—six men and nine women, and fifteen subsequently died from injuries caused by the explosion. But the panic that followed added terribly to the d>ath roll and ihe list of injured. The plan arranged was that one man was toe^tinguisl> the ligtys in £he theatre by turning off the gas at the main, and in the da^kjiess bombs were to be thrown in every direction. Fortunately the fiend who had charge of the ciait neß« department foiled to flnfl the meter, and one Cf hls com" rades got.ting fyja|*atio*it fired off his bomb. A paper' in Parjis run in the interests of the anarchists commende^ thjis jpjitrage \tx Spain and the French

authorities were prosecuting this miserable sheet, when they suddenly found their hands full of an outrage of th? same kind specially got up for their own benefit. And now there has happened what most men are no doubt surprised has not happened lone ago. The French authorities are to take .severe measures with the Anarchists, and the other continental nations will follow suit. Severe these measures will have to be, and from the howl of indignation that has arisen from every corner of civilisation, severe they no doubt will be. There is no room for mercy—no quarter of any kind can be given to devils incarnate of the Vaillant class in Paris, and Saldani at Barcelona, and the time has now come when to be a member of an Anarchist society should be considered sufficient qualification for the guillotine or the gallows. A short shrift and a long rope is the most effective repressive measure for gentry like these, and a wholesale head chop ping of a few of the cowards who lead the movement would soon stamp it out as effectually as the cat-o'-nine-tails vigorously applied on every one con victed, stamped out the favorite amuse ment of the garotter.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

During the strike in England 15,000 tons oi foreign coal was imported, principally from New South Wales. The schooner Lily, which waß stranded on the north spit, Waitara river, on Saturday, was floated off at high tide on Tuesday, H.M.S. Crescent replaced the Orlando aa flagship on the Australian Station. The "Observer "considers the change an advant age to Australia. The frankest announcement we have read fora long time appeared in the " Marlborough Express "on the day of the election. It was delightfully brief—" No leading article to day .„ We are tiied." A meeting of the children's Band of Hope was.held in the Presbyterian Church last night. Readings, recitations, Dialogues* songs, and musical selections were given by the children, and a very happy hour| was spent. Acceptances for tiots and entries for all other horse and athletic events at the Pakaia sports close at eight o'clock on Saturday evening next. The course is in fine order and looking well. Given a fine day there should be a large attendance. On Thursday Mr Restell sold the privileges which realised £26. An enquiry was held into the loss of the Spirit of Dawn at Wellington on Tuesday before the R.M. and Captain Adams. After hearing details of the disaster, which were similar to the story already published, the Court held that there was no evidence to show how the vessel came into the position, and expressed its opinion that all hands had done all they could under the circumstances to save life. The successful applicants for sections at Cheviot are taking prompt steps to enter into occupation. Building and fencing material is being sent up by every steimerand daily by rail and road, and carpentevs are in request. The residences promise to be ot a good and comfortable class, indicating the substantial position of those for whom they are being built. Shearing has been stopped for some days by the broken weather which has also hindered fencing, building and other work. The following clipping from a San Francisco journal will give an idea of the dimensions to which the truit industry has attained in Cali fornia:—"Sixty-six carloads of fruit were hauled over the summit of the Sierra Nevadas yesterday on their way east, while the daily average for some weeks has been between 50 and 60 care. Six 12-wheel compound locomo tives are doing little else but hauling these fruit shipments. Itgenerally requires two of these big locomotives to pull 20 loaded cars up the steep grades and through the snowshede. Each car contains 24,0001b of fruit and six tons of ice, while the weight of eaqh car is about 22 tons. Recently 1550 carloads cf fruit were Bent east from Sacramento. For the same, period last year the cars numbered 1100, or an increase for this year of 450 carloads. This large increase is attributed to the fact that the fruit-men, being unable to sell much fruit to the canners this year, are selling as much a$ they can in |he eastern markets, The in : creased shipments have made it necessary for the railroad to haul hundreds °* CRrs k*<?k I from the east empty to fill the demand for more cars here." The complimentary smoke concert, ten dered tp Mr David Matsou by the Ashburtpn Athletic Club, was held on Tuesday evening in Henry's Hotel. There was a large attend ance, and Mr Hugo Friedlander ogcupied the chair. The speakers in proposing and responding to the various toasts of the evening were moat enthusiastic in eulogising Mr Matson's personal qualities and hi? brilliant performance in breaking the world's record for the quarter-mile hurdles ; and when the toast of the guest of the evening, proposed by the chairman, was being honored, the familjar ajad appropriate strain, "For he'B a jolly fellow," had' to be thrice repeated. The health of Mr and Mra John Matson, the parents of the guest, was also coupled with his, and Mr Matson suitably responded on their behalf. During the some excellent songa and a recita tion were rendered i>/ f^df, present, and an enjoyable evening was brought to a'olose by the singing of " Auld lang syne." In Mr Cookson's stables, at the back of launders' buildings, may. be seen a chaise which" as regards appearance, lightness, and comfort, is all that can be desired, It was designed by Jsr J. A. Berg, and the prime feature of it is its perfpot system of balancing ju the matter of springs. 'In other yehiclps, |f J;hey are built for one person, they cannot I well aceoMHiodg,tp more, and in the game ! way if they are built to carry three or foup persons, and only carry one, considerable iolfcing i§ the consequence. Mr Berg in order to remedy th> defect has introduced a patent of hjs own in the adjustment of the springs. J?y a very simple and ingenious contrivance, ia a few seconds, the body pf the chaise can be shifted backwards or forwards Beveral inches. In doing this its weight is shifted fiom one spring on to two. Another desirable re»ult of this patent is that pho chafse is kept perfectly level the Whole time. Ht )Jerg has taken cap that the vehicle is built for conveiaienee and cohort in other w^ys, and in particular the arrangements for entrance [|ud exit are very complete.

We understand the Kindergarten enter- j tainment, which was postponed on account I of the fire, will take place at an early date j next week. The Friend y Societies' arrangements for their precession on Anniversary Day are on a very large scale iadeed, and the result j should be a grand sight. The local branches I of the OJdfellows, foresters, and Druids Lodges will be reinforced by contingents from Christehurch and other places, and the whole will make one of the largest proces sions seen here. The Sports Committee also have their work very complete, and an ex cellent programme of sports will take place in the Domain. Last year (says the " Timaru Herald") a god deal of stii was imde about We Austra lian weeds which grow out of ships' ballast on the beach, and after a time harbour board and railway combined to destroy them. The weed seeding season is here again, and there are a good many plants of what Mr Gideon Rutherford called the true Cape weed and declared worse than the Bathurst burr, now dying after delivering their seeds to the late strong breezes tor distribution. For variety and healthiness the weeds growing on the reclamation would be hard to beat. The shingle appears to be much more fertile than the average farmer would give it credit ( for. We are promised a visit shortly from Fillis' circus, which was here in the early part of the year, and made a most success ful tour of the colony. The circus has since been through several of the Australian colonies, and is now making a farewell tour of New Zealand previous to a season or two in America, after which Mr Fillis purposes settling down at the Cape, to which colony he belongs. Since we had the pleasure of witnessing the performance of Mr Fillis' clever company it has received numerous accessions both to its strength and talent, and the press notices in the south, where the circur now is, are very complimentary. But a sponsor for the company's power to please should surely be the " Melbourne Age " :— Of the new features in the show the " Age '* says the Feeley family figure prominently, individually and collectively. Mr Dan Feeley gives a wonderful exhibition of high vaulting, his feat of springing over five elephants standing on tubs with a couple of men kneeling one on the other on the backs of the animals being a particularly fine dis play. Master Dick Feeley does some sur prising double somersaults, dives from the roof of the building into a net, and, in con junction with his sister Amelia, does some startling trapeze evolutions in mid-air. Two of the brothers go through absurd antics on a rolling globe and on stilts, and the whole family do some difficult acrobatic perform ances. Lazel, a young lady from Paris, after performing cleverly on the trapeze, is fired from a cannon suspended fn mid-air, and is caught by Miss Alexander, who is hanging from a trapeze by the legs. Mr A, Burns has five well-trained elephants, and M Soquefc has a couple of knowing bears. Mr John Cox is still in charge of the lions.

THE PARIS OUTRAGE

LEGISLATION AGAINST ANARCHISTS.

MESSAGES FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.

Paais, December 11. The Premier has introduced into the Chamber of Deputies a Bill widely ex tending the powers of the police in dealing with Anarchists. It has been decided to expel all foreign Anarchists from France. December It. The man Vaillant, who admits having thrown the bomb in the Oham* ber of Deputies, has been in prison on five previous occasions on charges of theft and wife desertion. The Chamber of Deputies has by a majority of 250 passed a Bill prevent ing the Anarchists' Club from extend ing, and placing it under police super vision. Messages of sympathy have been re ceived from the Austrian and Swiss Governments, and of indignation from 1 the Spanish and Italian Governments. Ten Anarchists were with Vaillant when the bomb was thrown. The Chamber of Deputies, by a large majority, has modified the law regard ing newspapers, but provides for the severe punishment of anyone found guilty of inciting to outrage. M. Goblet, on behalf of the Social ists, taunted the Government with re viving the old tactics of th« Empire. I Strict precautions are now taken as to the admission of strangers into the galleries of the Chamber. London, December 11. The House of Commons carried a motion expressing horror at the nature of the crime committed in the French Chamber of Deputies, and sympathy with those injured. December 12. In the House of Commons, Sir Frederick D. Dixon Hartland, member for Uxbridge, in referring to the French outrage, suggested that visitors to the Imperial Parliament should be searched before entering the galleries. The Home Secretary replying, said the police and Parliamentary atten dants were acting in concert, and every precaution was taken to prevent a rftpetition of the outrage in England. Washington, December 12. An extra guard has been placed on the Senate to prevent an anarchist outrage. Brussels, December 12. King Leopold expresses indignation at the explosion in the Paris Chamber, and has sent a message of condolence to the injured.

Horrible Outrages.

(per press association )

I?omb, December 12.

The Customs officer stationed at Bari, on the Italian frontier, pre vented n sidents using fireworks dur ing a religious festival. The mob became enraged, and seizing the un fortunate man drenched him with petroleum and burned him to death. A riot has broken out in Guardi riello, Sicily, and the troops were attacked. The latter fired, killing eight and wounding fourteen. The mob then seized the Town Clerk and his wife, beheaded them, and placed their heads on pikes.

The Future of Victoria.

That tome people have confidence in the future of Victoria is evident (says the " Argus ") from the following letter re ceived by the Minister for Trade and Customs from a lady in Otago, New Zea land :—" To the Minister for Customs Duties Sir,- Myself and three sons last April visited Australia, and are very favorably Impressed with the same, and are thinking of settling there for good^ Do you* Government give any inducej menfc to intendinfe settlers with means o| about £30Q each ? There wtll be four of u •>. We wish to bring most of our house hold goods, as there is no sale for them in this out of the way place. S^r, cannot you giye qs a free customs pass,, or shall we be subject to that unfair Indignity of having our luggage searched as though we were dynamiters 1 We thmk you should receive the like of us with gladness, 1 similar to the Government emigrants of old. We feel sure we Bh»U have no goods liable to duty unless it be an old sewing machine;' Is that liable to duty ? When c»lUng at Hobart we noticed hand-cart loads of luggage leaving the wharf without in any w»y baing interfered with by the customs officers, but in Melbourne some had to open and show the contents of their portmanteaus—the contents being dirty clo'hes. This, we think, is a step too far in the wrong direction. It causes people to think they are taken for thieves or have committed some offence in ignor ance of the law.—l am, yours truly, et^t l!p :;geritej»r£ for Trade and Customs forwarded a reply to this letter pointing; outsat household effects up to £§0 In valqQ for e.ach adult member of a family are not liable to duty upon importation into Vicstorji provided they are accom panied by the family, but that a duty of £15 is charged on a grand piano, £5 on a cottage piano, and £3 on a harmonium, »ni tnai «Ks* *» alouj wheeled busgy being charged «BQ, * j

gjIAMDKIt dc Sons' Eucalypti Extract There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in th market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Fur* Vol-.itll* Enca- Irptl Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us,through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state :— It is proved by tests made by the Medidal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal •, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at GreifswaM, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of amds, resinour and other Bubstances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, according to these authorities, and accor ing to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of imericE., is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT Allother crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. The»o 30 called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible :-— ■ 1. By their deficieicy in punpent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most frealy through its surplus of oxy -ci ). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids: 3. By their taate, tbe result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oils, w> calle 1 eucalypti extracts are ipplied by mistake in oosss of croup, b onctiitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the thecinsequeucesre most appalling.
