The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuehl, Charles Kuehl, Farmers and Farmers. THURSDAY DECEMBER 22, 1877 The people of Anaheim feel a natural pride in their newly organized military company. It has come to be a feature in a community's prosperity in the United States to possess a well-equipped military organization. Unlike other countries of the Old World, with gigantic standing armies and burdensome taxation, with their laws demanding that a man give the best years of his life to burdensome military duty, the United States relies for protection mainly upon its citizen soldiers. The veterans of the war stand ready today together with our illuminative standing army to repel an invasion or attack from an enemy. The entire people will rise in their might to assert our country's rights. Still it is necessary for us in times of peace to prepare our growing population, in a measure, for unforeseen complications and in no other manner can this be done without creditily as in the National Guard. We should emulate the example to some extent of the fighting powers of Europe. Take a young German or French resident of the United States, and the military instinct is instilled within him to the last degree. He brings with him probably the experience of active service in the field. With the American youth this is entirely different. With him there is not the remotest notion of military discipline, no knowledge whatever of facings, wheels or marching. Our people rely too strongly upon the idea that when the proper time arrives our raw recruits will be sufficiently mighty to expo with any enemy. But we take it that a preliminary military education is time well spent not only but a most beneficial and essential thing withal. This education is imparted in the State militia. Much the better class of our population is found in the ranks of the militia. No comparison exists between the militia and the regular army. Far be it from us to deceive the merits or worth of our gallant soldiers. Nevertheless our citizen soldiery is composed of the batter material. In time of war the United States were better able to defend itself more of our youths were drilled in the school of Upton. The people of Anaheim should see to it that a fostering hand gives guidance to our since 1870 no one denies, but that she has now a better condition of defense on the German frontier many are inclined to doubt. To-day France does not depend on her fortresses to hold the frontier line. She has adopted the new plan of fortified camps and retreated positions, whose strength individually is unmeasurable great when compared with the fiery structures that proved themselves, in most cases, to be so much pasteboard to Krupp's propeties. As a result of the momentous conflict of 1870-71, France lost the two important fortresses of Metz and Strasbourg, and by their loss all hold to Alcea and Derraine was renounced. Standing on the confines of French territory these two fortifications had been held at position the most responsible on the frontier. From within their walls France had deterred the powers of Europe had succeeded her forces in the field, and had never menaced any contemplated German invasion. In them keeping are hat intrusted the security of her armies, and by their operation are looked for the future success of her arms. But the apes of the German secret service had gained all the information necessary for the German leaders and officers were hardly commenced before Metz and Strasbourg were invaded. To be sure they held out a wonderfully well before the arrival of modern artistry, for Strasbourg received the shock of 1937-22 shell before capitulating, and thus at the rate of four or five per minute, or 6,240 a day. Metz fell just one month later, and with it the remnant of the imperial army, non being 173,000 men. By the loss of these two fortresses the factional security of France was destroyed, and the armies of Germany left free to reinforce vice wars over the soil of La Belle France. Today Metz and Strasbourg under German rule still have not been compromised as the establishment of her suzerainty on the German frontier. IN ONE GRAVE The Redles of the Anarchists Exhumed and all Buried Together. Citizen, December 19. The four anarchists who were hanged on November 11th, August Spes. A. R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer and George Lengel, and Louis Langg, who cheated the gallows by committing suicide, the day before, were placed in their final resting place in Waldheim Cemetery Monday. The only dramatic feature of the occasion was brought about by Mrs. Parsons, the ducky wife of the dead The people of Anaheim should see to it that a fostering hand gives guidance to our home military company. Soon will they have their arms and uniforms. A large and well ventilated armory is next in order. To our public spirited citizens do we commend this essential thing. A structure such as this would be an ornament to Anaheim and be the means of giving additional impetus our home soldiery. We should have a company one hundred strong. As the Tyroleers stand to day, no better material exists in the N.G.C. Many young men in town have as yet neglected to pun the ranks. Some dread the possibility of being "called out," others have not given it enough serious thought. For the latter class it would be better for us all did they pay some attention to the benefits both to our town and to themselves to be derived by their joining the company. To the former we would say if our Tyroleers should be "called out" and be compelled to smell powder, they had better prepare themselves to inhabit some of the atmosphere at home. The fact that a young member of no military organization in the United States does not in time of war give him immunity from active service in the field. Everybody must be prepared not only to be called out, but must stand ready and willing to do as the patriots did at Valley Forge and Bunker Hill. It is not reason that the excellent young men who are giving their time to perfect themselves in military duty shall battle for the drones at home. Every young man should join the company, and our older citizens should discuss the building of a larger armory. THE CLOUD IN THE PAST. An article in the St. Petersburg Military Gazette, the official organ of the Czar, and to have been written at the Czar's command by General Kuropatkin of the Grand General Staff, has created a bad impression throughout Europe, and attracted much attention in Austrian military circles. The opinion is expressed that its publication will cause no change in the attitude of Austria, before actively taking responsive measures of offense. Austria will wait to see whether Russia will continue in her threatening military preparations. The following is an extract: "Owing to the alarm caused by the Austrian press in consequence of the transfer of some Russian cavalry to the Warsaw district, it is advisable to consider the military position of Russia and her western frontier neighbors in order to throw a light upon the question as to who is really preparing for attack and defense." After enumerating in detail the increase in effectiveness of the German and Austrian armies during the past five years, it says: "All these preparations are meaningless except in view of the offensive tactics." IN ONE GRAVE The Redles of the Anarchists Excused and all Buried Together. On December 10, The four anarchists who were langed on November 11th, August Spes, A. R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer and George Engel, and Louis Langg, who created the gallows by committing suicide, the day before, were placed in their final resting place in Waldheim Cemetery Monday. The only dramatic feature of the occasion was brought about by Mrs. Parsons, the dusky wife of the dead anarchist. She had kept in the background at the cemetery during the preliminary excavation. A few moments before Captain Black, chief counsel for the anarchists, concluded his address and while the spectators were in a manner open-ended by the captain's routine, some one shouted "make way for Mrs. Parsons." A passage was made, and Mrs. Parsons, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. William Hammond, came forward. The nearest friend to her was that of August Spes. Her husband was the second from this. Mrs. Parsons eyes seemed to pick out the casket in which she was most interested. The moment her gaze caught it she gave voice to a wall which started the crowd. Captain Black passed in his speech. Then came screams from Mrs. Parsons which reached to the center circle of the crowd; then she strove to speak, but the words refused to come out, and she sank faintly into the arms of friends. Some men near her made snow balls and rattled her temples, and when she showed signs of confusion she was carried away. Two funeral trains from the city carried about eight hundred people to the cemetery. The demise of the occupant patrol more of the nature of a prime party than a funeral. At the cemetery the crowd gathered around the lot situated near the entrance. The coffins were taken from the vault and carried to the spot where the crows had assembled. Spes' casket was burned by six members of the Tarasverein. Fischer's casket was carried by members of the Typhographical Union. Parens' by members of his old assembly of Knights of Labor. Engelby by the German Kriegspaints Union, and Louis Langg by a committee from the Carpathians Assembly. On Spes and Fischer's coffins were flowers and red ribbons, on Parens was a bouquet of red and yellow roses, which served to bring out in bold relief the red cloth which covered the caskets of Engel and Langg. The undertakers removed the loft from the columns, and the chief mourners took their places. Among the mourners were the near relatives and friends of the dead anarchists, including Mrs. Schwab, whose husband is in the penitentiary; Nina Van Zandt and Lingg girl; Eline Frübel. Nina Van Zandt chattered continually with Captain Black, and showed no signs of emotion. K. Buchanan acted as master of ceremonies. The endearing process had been a success. The dead looked all lithe. Not a trace of decomposition was seen. A memorial hymn was sung by the Milwaukee Socialistic Mannaricher. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT A Train on a Amanda Railroad Plunges into a River. St. John, N.R., December 18 — A shocking accident occurred last evening on the Carquettee Railway, Gloucester county, New Brunswick, at the point where the Carquettee river is crossed near the fishing village of McIntosh Grove, forty miles north-east of Bathurst. The road is a branch of the Inter Colonial line, and has only been operation for the past week. The whole section has been visited by heavy snow falls, six feet on the level, causing tremendous The following is an extract: "Owing to the alarm caused by the Austrian press in consequence of the transfer of some Russian cavalry to the Warsaw district, it is advisable to consular the military position of Russia and her western frontier neighbors in order to throw a light upon the question as to who is really preparing for attack and defense. After enumerating in detail the increase in effectiveness of the German and Austrian armies during the past five years, it says: 'All these preparations are meaningless, except in view of the offensive tactics, which show that Austria's semblance of defense is really a proposition to invade Russia simultaneously with her ally. But what is Russia doing in view of her neighbor's threatening preparations? Notwithstanding the manifest danger, Russia considers that a European war would be a terrible misfortune to all mankind, and she was the first who, amid her neighbor's feverish armament, did not increase, but decreased, her defensive forces. The effectiveness of the Russian army is 75,000 less than in 1831, while her neighbors in the same period have raised their same amount. The most effective measure against danger would be the extension of the Russian railway system to the proportions of those of our neighbors, but as this requires time and money, the only course is to increase the troops on the frontier. The transfer of a few cavalry regiments on the Vistula might be made a pretext to exert the press to charge Russia with warlike intentions, but German and Austrian military authorities understand the defensive character of this measure. They can calculate how many corps Russia will have to send to the frontier while peace is undisturbed, so that after demonstration at any given point the forces and means at her disposal might suffice to place Russia on an equality with her opponents. Russia has an undoubted right to provide for her own defense." The clouds of war which so recently threatened the peace of Europe have not wholly disappeared below the horizon, and their continued presence may result in open hostilities at any moment. Military man of all nations are tearing their attention to that defined line separating the two lost provinces from French soil; and are keenly scanning the state of defense, on the French frontier.
