used so loosely in the United States by writers and public speakers that a scientific definition appears to be a prerequisite to the proper understanding of its difTerent phases. As it is often .stated that Jews have been intimately connected with this movement it seems
is
desirable to ascertain the extent of the connection. Anarchism is defined in "The Encyclopedia of Social Reform" (New York. 1897) as" "the social doctrine of the abolition of government of man by man, and the constitution of society without govern-

The
individualistic Anarchism of Proudhon found a wide an<l resixinsive audience among the Russian educated middle class, and in the "sixties " was acclimatized in the guise of nihilism. Nihilism soon gave place to the Bakiinin-communist Anarchism, which held sway over the nunds nf ilu- young geiUTation of the "seventies." The anarchist movement had exhausted itself in Russia by l.'^Sl, and had given to the western world the most noted apostle of modern coinmuiustic -Vnarchism. Prince Pet<-r Krajiolkin. The exodus of the Jews from Russia, following the anti .lewish riots of 1881 and subsei|Uent years, couided with political persecutions, brought to England and the I'nited States a number of young men
and women who

with them, along with
their Russian eilucatioii, the popular political and social ideas of their old country. Fired with the proselytizing spirit of the Bussian social reformer, they naturally became the teachers of the ignorant Jewish immigrants, who. ci-aving for knowledge, were now given for the first time in their lives Clubs and an opportuinty to study.

The organic growth
of the Jewisii settlement, the
development of labor organizations, and the cmbarking by social reformers in labor pfilitics have dealt a fatal blow to Anarchism. It is no longer a movement of the masses, as in former years the fir.st enthusiasm of youth having expended itself in vain efforts to convert an indifferent world and the few remnants of the pioneers of 1890 confine their activities to the publication of a monthly magazine, " Die
