The Death of Francisco Ferrar

Ferrar was dangerous. Had he fought the barricades, had he hurled a hundred bombs, he could not have been so dangerous to the catholic church and to despotism as with his opposition to discipline and restraint. Yet who dare say his death was in vain in view of the tempestuous rise of universal indignation? Italy naming streets in memory of francisco ferrar. Belgium inaugurating a movement to erect a memorial. France calling to the front her most illustrious men to resume the heritage of the martyr. England being the first to issue a biography. America, even tardy, always in progressive ideas, giving birth to a francisco FERRAR association.
