THE ANARCHIST’S FATAL DELUSION.

Under the fascination of rose-tinted delusion whose fatal mists obscure the mental and moral realm of thought, many become criminals, goaded on by blind infatuation which persevered in becomes a passion all-absorbing in its nature. In the blindness of their infatuation they seek to immortalize their names by a bold and base attempt at the subversion of law and order.

Having by the mad misrule of anarchy rendered themselves amenable to law, and by crime forfeited not only their liberty but their lives, they stubbornly refuse to ask for executive clemency, choosing death in the error of their ways, and in the language of Patrick Henry demanding unconditional “liberty or death.” These anarchists under the delusion that they were becoming martyrs, courted death, and from the gallows raised a defiant shout for the perpetuity and progress of anarchy which they fondly hoped would go ringing down the corridors of time, increased by tributaries until anarchy as a mighty torrent should bear away law, order and civilization by the fury of its resistless force, until bombs, dynamite and treason should triumph. Under the sophistry and insidious teachings of the nefarious Herr Most, anarchy developed rapidly in Chicago, and his minions were willing to offer up wives and children, liberty, even life if necessary, in the interest of the cause they had espoused. They raised their voice publicly in denouncing imaginary wrongs and the plaudits of the admiring ignorant lower classes amounted to an inspiration to them which urged them on to openly advocate deeds of violence and blood. Herr Most has stated that the gibbet upon which these anarchist murderers paid the penalty for their crimes will in the ages to come be looked upon with the same veneration that the cross is by the Christian.

Now, that the majesty of the law has been maintained in their execution, their sympathizing followers seek to erect a monument to perpetuate their memory, the most fitting tablet over their grave should be, “Here lies anarchy in her shameful tomb.” “Oh! Torquemada, from thy fiery jail,” and thou “George Jeffries, from underneath the altar which seeks with Christian charity to hide thy hated bones,” with the long line of hideous cruel monsters from the dead, come and compare thy deeds in contrast with thy lesser light and knowledge.

“Come seek thy equals here.”

UNITED STATES NATIONAL ANTHEM.

BY W. R. WALLACE.

God of the Free! upon Thy breath
Our Flag is for the Right unrolled,
As broad and brave as when its stars,
First lit the hallowed time of old.

For Duty still its folds shall fly;
For Honor still its glories burn,
Where Truth, Religion, Valor, guard
The patriot’s sword and martyr’s urn.

No tyrant’s impious step is ours;
No lust of power on nations rolled;
Our Flag—for friends, a starry sky,
For traitors, storm in every fold.

O thus we’ll keep our Nation’s life,
Nor fear the bolt by despots hurled;
The blood of all the world is here,
And they who strike us, strike the world.

God of the Free! our Nation bless
In its strong manhood as its birth;
And make its life a star of hope
For all the struggling of the Earth.

Then shout beside thine Oak, O North!
O South! wave answer with thy palm;
And in our Union’s heritage
Together sing the Nation’s Psalm!

THE END.
