FIFTY YEARS AGO
LAWLESS ORGANISATIONS The activities of two lawless organisations, the anarchists and the Irish dynamiters, were arousing considerable alarm half a century ago, as can be seen from the following extract from the NkW Zealand Herald of November 5, 1887: "Despite the request for a reprieve made Jbv the Extreme Left of the Franch Chamber of Deputies, the Illinois Government have decided that the Chicago anarchists shall be hanged. The execution has been fixed for the 11th instant. American anarchists are scattering broadcast among the German and French armies leaflets urging them to revolt in the event of war. The New York Sun publishes a report of a meeting of dynamiters held at Brussels on Sunday. The meeting decided not to hamper Messrs. Gladstone and Parliell ixi the agitation for Home Rule for Ireland, and also to refrain from the committal of outrages while there is the slightest prospect of Parliament granting self-government to Ireland."
