The Bourse, the Palace of Justice, and the Chamber of Deputies are buildings of which there has been much talk these past few days. These three buildings had been especially threatened by three young men who were fortunately stopped just in time.

Aujourd’hui c’est la fête du Travail !
A l’heure où les syndicats s’apprêtent à fêter l’aliénation, la collaboration de classe et la Merguez pas fraiche, l’occasion est belle de ressortir ce vieux texte extrait de La Feuille N°24 de Zo D’Axa, écrit il y a 113 ans, mais toujours d’actualité.

Durant la période électorale l’affiche-programme fut réellement placardée sur les murailles, et le jour du scrutin le candidat satirique traversa réellement Paris, de Montmartre au quartier Latin, fendant la foule enthousiaste ou scandalisée qui manifestait bruyamment. Boulevard du Palais, l’âne fut dûment appréhendé par la police qui se mit en devoir de traîner son char pour le conduire en fourrière, et s’il n’y eut alors bagarre entre les partisans de l’Âne et les représentatns de l’Ordre, c’est bien ainsi que le contèrent les journaux de l’époque, grâce au rédacteur de la feuille qui s’écria : — N’insistons pas, c’est maintenant un candidat officiel !

During the electoral period the poster-program was really pasted up on the walls, and the day of the vote the satirical candidate really traversed Paris, from Montmartre to the Latin Quarter, cutting through the enthusiastic or scandalized crowd that loudly demonstrated. Boulevard du Palais, the ass was duly apprehended by the police, who set themselves to drag him to the pound. As the newspapers of the time reported, if there wasn’t a fight between the ass’s partisans and the representatives of order it’s thanks to the editor of La Feuille who cried out: “Don’t carry on; he’s now an official candidate.”

Ne parlons plus de la Bastille, s’il vous plait, ni même de la misérable famille Hayem qui, il y a deux ans, choisissait pour mourir l’instant où la bourgeoisie et les ivrognes du peuple célébraient le 14 Juillet.
Avec des effets larmoyants panachés d’images faciles !

Peu s’en est fallu que le commissariat de Clichy, ce local policier qui servit de cadre à de féroces et légendaires passages-à-tabac, ne finît dans une apothéose de dynamite.

PERLA DELLE ANTILLE
La bomba lanciata, durante le persecuzioni indimenticabili, in Barcellona in stato di assedio, quando passava, trionfante, il maresciallo-garrotatore Campos [1], non è certamente comparabile al congegno patriottico e nazionale piazzato, in tempo di pace, secondo i consigli del generale Weyler [2], sotto la chiglia di una nave americana [3].

According to the etymology of the word, a heretic is one “who chooses”., choice meant in the strongest of its accepted meanings, as active decision, certainly not in the bland dress of adjustment. A heretic is no one who limits himself to belonging, approving, following. Nor is he even one who is content to study, learn and repeat. A heretic is not one who knows the old answers by heart, but rather one who loves to formulate new questions. The heretic does not demand approval, but rather critique; he does not want to maintain, but to change. If the heretic usually doesn’t go very far, a reproach that is often made against him, it is because he spends his time opening new paths rather than going down all too well-trodden ones.
