November 1.?The trial of six revolutionary anarchist! accuser! of violation of domicile anil Illegal deten? tion of citizens of the republic re? sulted In a fiasco. The accused acted as a kind of secret police for the Gen? eral Confederation of Dobor. and con? stituted at the same time a aort of revolutionary tribunal before whom were tried members of the confedera? tion who were suspected of treachery. The actual charge against the prison? er;-, one of whom Is on the staff of the revolutionary newspaper. rno Quer re Sociale, was that they arrest? ed with violence three persons whom thev oeliovea to be In the pay of the poiicc. arm proceeded to lock them up and force tnem with threats Of further violence to confess their double deal? ing The prisoners were acquitted.

Almereyda is himself a ?'militant' revolutionary, who dally advocates measures of violence against the pres ent "bourgeois'" regime in Uls news paper. The leading socialist journal ol Paris, the Humanlte, halls the -icquit tal of Almereyda and his colleagues with the heading, "Acquittal of tne Ac? cused. Condemnation of Clemenceau Urlan and Their Agents Provocateurs.' The Temps warns the public that li Will be quite mistaken If It attributes the majority of the acts against so? ciety which have been so common ol late years to the Instigation of "agents provocateurs." and that to say that the government encourages Its agents to go to extremes is a grave exaggera? tion. The reason why these spies re? sort to violent uctlon is that otherwise they would at once be regarded with suspicion in the circles in which they arc employed. Dr. Watts Better.
