THE REAL AXARCMSTS.
iue alterations in men's beliefs or, we
might better say, in the application of their
beliefs which circumstances bring about,
supplies a curidus study. There is nothing
more striking in this way than the changed
tone of the rerolutionists of the anti sla
very jperiod in our own country. Asa
rule, our observations of this phenomenon
are necessarily confined to the violent con
trast which the gilded youth of New
England and New York of the present
day present to the generation of agitators
who preceded them a sort of vicarious
comparison, as it were. Once in a while
an individual of the latter class lingers
upon the stage wnose own life affords the
contrast. There are not many left now,
but the alert editor of the New York Jour
nal has just brought to light the record of
a distinguished one.
In the period alluded to the South ruled,
and against its conservatism nearly all the
brains of our Eastern States was arrayed.
The learned editor of the New York Sun
who now numbers among his putative an
archists, as the Journal points out, the
present as well as the coming President of
the United States, Henry George, W. D
Howells, Governor Altgeld, Rev. Lyman
Abbott and many others equally diverse
in their personal beliefs was a shining
light among the younger agitators of that
eventful period. In working themselves
up over the woes of the African slaves (no
longer their own property), these apostles
of change let their sympathies go far a-
field, and the revolution of '48 supplied a
rich outlet for their expression. It is in cfne
of his outbursts over the misery of the re
volutionists against the Continental despo
tisms that the Journal catGhes and now
reproduces Mr. Dana. Here is what the
then managing editor of the New York
Tribune had to say before the tide of
wealth had shifted the seat of conservatism:
"Would to God that this hot and bloody
struggle were over, and that Peace miht
come at last to the world ! And yet I invoke
no seeming peace that the weaker may ever
anew be plundered, but a peace with Liberty,
Equality, and honest man's and not robber's
Order for its condition. What is the way to
such a peace? Through war and destruction
through such war as that at Roma, and that
in Hungary perhaDS. too. throno-Vi
that of June, 1848, in Paris. The history of
the past and the examples of the present in
struct us that the privileged and powerful by
whatever name they are called, donotyild
their privileges except as they are compelled.
When will Russia lay aside the pretension to
dictate darknes3 and despotism to Europe ?
When she is c- ipelled. When will the bour
geoisie consent to live by their own labor and
not by the labor of others? Whn they are
compelled. How can that compulsion be ex-erT.td?-
Jn a ree State through the ballot
and the independent action of the people un-"
der the influence of ideas. How shall States
be made free so that ideas and the people
may act? Hitherto Providence has freed them
by revolution, nor is it apparent that other
means are now to be employed. It may be
that the day of revolutions is past, but if so whv
are they there in such abundance ?
Let others give aid and comfort to despots.
Be it ours to stand for liberty and justice, nor
fear to lock arms with those who are called
hotheads and demagogues when the good
cause requires."
Circumstances do, indeed, alter cases.
But if we go to the bottom of this matter!
we shall find many other surprises. Gov
ernor Altgeld is called an auarchist by
Mr. Cleveland's followers. Yet even the
gold Democrats who frequent the Iroquois
Club in Chicago, as this writer haoDens
to know, say that he is one of the best
Governors Illinois has ever had and re
sent the charge that he is an anarchist.
On the other hand, it i3 but little more
than a year since Mr. Cleveland knowing
ly and deliberately violated the Constitu
tion in order to appoint one of his pur
chased legislators to office.
Who are the real anarchists Bryan,
Bland, Morgan, Jones, Vest, Sewall, Alt-
geld and others who are striving to restore
the government to its Constitutional
moorings, or the hypocrites who cover up
their own violations of the letter as well
as the spirit of our laws by designating
others by that offensive epithet ?
CURRENT COMMENT.
One of our contemporaries inveighs
against the State Democratic executive
committee for making it "a new test of
party fealty for one to be in favor of sil
ver," and yet the committee has neither
passed a resolution to that effect nor taken
any action whatever that looks to the mak
ing of such a test. On the contrary, the
same committee, which by a vote of 29 to
5 wisely adopted Chairman Jones's plans
for electoral fusion, had tei. minutes be
fore elected Mr. J. P. Caldwell a member
of the Central committee in order to pro
claim its complete free lorn from the spirit
of ''proscription." What a very funny
world this is an.yhow.
