HOW FRENCH ANARCHISTS WILL BE TREATED.

Says an American paper: — The future French Anarchist who commits a capital crime will be taken to a dungeon as soon as he has been arrested, and confined there until the hour of his death, except during ' the short time of his appearance in 1 the trial-room. He will be designated by a number instead of a name. No visitors will be permitted to see him, his photograph will not be Bold, no newspaper in France will publish a report of his trial, or allude to him in any way, . under penalty of a heavy fine and [ inprisonment of the owner of the ! paper, and the Anarchist will, in the end, be buried in an unknown grave. s No reporters will witness his death, \ aud, worst of all, he will be con- [ damned, not by a jury of his peers, t who might have Auarchistic symt pathies, or who could be frightened by threats into giving a merciful ' verdict, but by judges, who have the i good of the State at heart. No delegation of flower-bearing women, , speech - making men, photograph L fiends, or sympathisers will make the Anarchist's family celebrated or his grave famous. Even the most [ radical Red in Paris, as he looks the f matter over seriously, will wonder I what there is in the Anarchist scheme after all. Under the present programme, the Anarchist, from the \ moment of his arrest, will be dead to 3 the world, and will be carried to a f swift and secret a nihilation in which f there is no possible element of fame or publicity. The effect of such j treatment upon the Chicago AnarT chists, seven of whom are now conducting large and prosperous saloons j as a result of the fame aroused by I their trials for bomb - throwing, } would be beneficial to the citizens of j Chicago.'' .
