6. Stringent with himself, he must be stringent with others. All sentiment must be suppressed by his passion for the revolutionary work. He must be ready to die and to kill. 7. He excludes romance and sentiment and also personal hatred and revenge; never obeying his personal inclinations, but his revolutionary duty. _Toward his Comrades._ 8. His friendship is only for his comrade, and is measured by that comrade’s usefulness in the practical work of the revolution. 9. As to important affairs, he must consult with his comrades, but in execution depend upon himself. Each must be self-operating, and must ask help only when imperatively necessary. 10. He shall use himself and his subordinates as capital to be used for the work of revolution, but no part of which can he dispose of without the consent of the persons involved. 11. If a comrade is in danger, he shall not consider his personal feelings, but the interest of the cause. _His Duty toward Society._ 12. A new candidate can be taken into the company only after proof of his merit, and upon unanimous consent. 13. He lives in a so-called civilized world because he believes in its speedy destruction. He clings to nothing as it now is, and does not hesitate to destroy any institution. He is no revolutionist if arrested by personal ties. 14. He must obtain entrance everywhere, even in the detective agency and the emperor’s palace. 15. The present society should be divided into categories, the first including those sentenced to immediate death, the others classifying the delinquents according to their rascality. 16. The lists are not to be influenced by personal considerations, but those are to be first destroyed whose death can terrify governments and deprive them of their most intelligent agents.

The second category embraces those who are permitted to live, but whose evil deeds will drive the people to open revolt. 18. The third category embraces the dissolute rich whose secrets must be discovered in order to control their resources. 19. The fourth category consists of ambitious officials and liberals whose purposes we must discover so as to prevent their withdrawing from our cause. 20. The fifth category consists of doctrinaire conspirators; they must be urged to action. 21. The sixth category is the women, who are divided into three classes: First, the brainless and heartless; second, the passionate and qualified; and, third, the wholly consecrated, who are to be guarded as the most valuable part of the revolutionary treasures. The _Alarm_ of January 9, 1886, then edited, in the absence of its editor and his assistant, by August Spies, contained this suggestive editorial:
