Blasphemous Fanatioism.
Amid great applause nt New York lust Thursday
the chairman "i a lig meeting held In memory of Fer
rer. the Spanish radical leader, made this tilusphemoua
assert ion:
'In one year from no tv the name of Francisco Fer
rer will l>e better known than Theodore Roosevelt's,
and In a hundred years will lie hotter known than
Jesus t’hrist’s.
That the Spanish government was wrong lit shoot
ing Ferrer, even If he was guilty of the charges ngatnat
him. Is the general opinion; hut sympathy expressed
in lhe foregoing style lends color to the suspicion that
Ferrer was an enemy of all government and all relig
ion—an anarchist and an atheist.
However, we agree With The Richmond Virginian
that no harm is done by letting speakers utter such
things as we have quoted. The American people take
the measure of fool fanatics very quickly. The cun
