The Chief of the Anarchists

HI TELLS THE STORY OF THE ORGANISATION OF THE SOOIBTY.

Lyons, September 23--The world is full of villains. Yesterday I encoun tered their king. Some seven months ago I was fortunate enough to save the life of a child which narrowly escaped drowning in the Lake of Geneva. That: child was the only daughter of the Prince of Anarchists. "You ask me to t<4l you something about the inner life of Anarchism,' ho said: " You tell me that such know ledge will benefit! you in your profes slen. Yon ask a favour of aue T 6we you one—you saved the life of the only tiling in this world I love. Come— follow me," Taking me into a small room where the child I had saved lay sleeping ho placed a crucifix in the little obe's hand. • Swear,' said he, 'by the Cposa you venerate that you will nt^ver divulge my name or whereabouts. Swear that the names I mention shall never pass your lips. Swear that you will never till aught to the world which will incriminate or cast suspicion on any individual or house!' And 1 took the oath. THE MAKING OF ASSASSINS •The dawu of Anarchism,' he began, is awakening, The deaths of Oamot and Humbert are but incidents in a mighty programme for the betterment of mankind. At last we are becoming organised. Union is strength. In every city of Europe we have our agents, who gather round themselves the more active members of the Socialist clubs.

•From rampant Socialism to Anar chism is but » step. It is our agents who foßter the love of notoriety in the breaats of the more advanced Socialists, who soon throw off the parti-coloured cloak of Socialism for the scarlet raiment of Anarchism

v It is from this class of men that we choose our instruments of destruction. We find one of these men with a grievance of many years' standing. We foster his grievance. We titillate Mb vanity by appointing him to do some great deed. We stir up his cupidity by promises of wealth if suc cessful. We point oat to him the glory of undying fame if he suffers for the ctuse.

" Do we send our leaders to commit these aggressions against the life and property of a person or State ? No ! There are enough uneducated fanatic In this world for that.| |Fanatics are many—leaders are scarce as honour among thieves, LUOCHENI AND BRESCI. 11 Take the case of Lucchens, for instance. For months we fostered his hatred against law and order. We saw he was a worthy son of Anarchism. He was dissatisfied with his life. He dis liked work. He was often hungry—an empty stomach is aggressive 4gcar chism's best friend. 11 We found him at Geneva He lay in wait to sky someone. His thoughts turned to the Duke of Orleans, who was expected in the town. By an accident Luccheni heard about the Empress Elizabeth. The rest of the tale is history. M Let us ndw turn to Bresci. For years he had wished to do something great for the caus?. At last the moment arrived. Funds were provided for him. He came from America with one set purpose. Had he failed, six others in the crowd would have carried out the execution of the King. THE SINE\TS OP MURDER. 1 You ask me how we get our funds? How does Orispi get his ? The same way as we do. We compel—-call it blackmail if you wish—the rich to fur nish means for their own destruction. {Strong men we never menace for money. 'lis the timid old man, the faithless husband, the rich roue, the besotted drunkard from whom Our agents gather their tithe p. 'Each country has its chief, and it |g the duty of each agent to regularly acquaint his chief with the progress the cause is making in his especial district. He also collects funds. Ihe agent of one district does not know his fellow agent of the next. 'Ifeis only the chiefs who are ac quainted with the names of all the agents. It is thus we safeguard our selves against treacherj. THE POWER «P ANARCHISM

'Our power is great—unlimited, We ya#e war against authority. When we think it necessary to remove the head of a Stats-—we do so, It is not the individual we war against—'tis the position

'Take the case of Humbert. Per sonally we had nothing against the man, bat it was his office we struck at, and made the world realise oar power. The more we are persecuted, the more we are strengthened. An execution in public brings ns maoy converts- Im prisonment; for life gives hope to the timid ones

1 Freedom similar to what the boy Sipido got—by the way, we had no thing to do with his fooish exploit— encoaragegus. The brave scorn death, and the timid imprisonment, and free dom with us. Yet we are stronger to day than ever. Anarchism is bat in its infancy, and will daily increase till the end of days,'

But for my oath, that man would now be in the bands of the police.
