The Enemies of Society.

New York Witness.- ■ ( ~ Al a large anarchist meeting in Now York Herr Most gave his opinion concerning the religion of Americans in general. He said* ‘•Ridicule their God? Why, their God is Mammon. Tho rich Catholic, the rich Protestant, the rich Jew—all —you don’t suppose they worship anything but Mammon, do you? Their creed Is ever stamped on their idol, ‘ln God we trust.” ’ He also stated that there were thouands of men in this country ready to wipe out this Government with blood, and the only reason they did not begin now was because they were not organized, and there were more in' Europe who would help in tho good work. At times tho greatest excite, ment prevailed, but the polico, who Were present didn’t interfere. Herr most then offered a numher of resolutions, concluding with the following: ' . —-Z—_7“7 “ism. - Resolved, That the .present system of murder and robbery, under which such odtrages are possible, should be fought by all means until no stone remains standing, and that on its ruins riSA a pommiinitv w Vina a fnnnria tion will be communism, whose soul will be atheism, and whose pervading spirit will be full and perfect libertyanarchy. Down with all who oppose to us! Long live the holy revolution.” And the crowd rose in a body and yelled their appktuse. And yet the Mayor of Brooklyn has been recently taken to task by the daily papers for refusing to permit tho hotding of a meeting at which such ideas as these were to bo advocated. Verily there is such a thing as to much license.
