ANARCHISM IN ENGLAND.

Incitements to Assassination Published In the Suppressed Organ. English anarchist organs everywhere have cssumed great violence of tone, evidently with the object of embittering the feelings of the workingmen before May Day. The Commonweal, the paper seized by the police in London, is a four,-page paper, which describes Itself as a revolutionary journal of anarchism and communism. It calls Henry Matthews, the Home Secretary, a Jesuitical monster, who murders men because of a few head of game, referring to the execution of two poachers who killed a gamekeeper. Justice Hawkins, who presided at the trial of the Walsall anarchists, is termed a hyena preying upon the bodies of hanged men and whose love of the gallows a few years ago won for him the title of “Hangman Hawkins." “This barbarous brute," the Commonweal adds, “while prating of his humanity, sends our comrades to ten years’ confinement in a prison hell. ” Continuing, the paper asks: “What of the spy Melville, who sets agents to concoct plots which he discovers? Are these men fit to live?” Melville is Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard. Through the arrest in London of one of the Walsall conspirators Inspector Melville learned of the existence of a club in Walsall, the principal members of which were engaged in making bombs, it was said, foi use in Russia. Acting in conjunction with the Walsall police, Inspector Melville arrested six of the conspirators and procured the evidence on which they were convicted.
