PARIS Both April, 1912.
have just witnessed the imposing ceremony of the
funeral Of M. Human, whose life illustrates how
important it is for public to adhere rigdIy TO a
faithful discharge of public duty. The ceremony
was most mposing-the Chamber of Deputies the
public unctionares the diplomatic corps and the mi
litary together, constituted immense mass, which
drew immense crowd to the streets; the houses,
| many stories, and tops of some were crowded.
So passes the greatness and the glory Of man
All eyes here are now anxiously directed to the
United States. The Protest of the American Minis
ter, and the lofty tone of the Presidents Message,
| have aroused the Continent and especially France
as from deep sleep. The purposes of England are
unfolding themselves, and call your attention to two
interesting articles which encl you-one in rela-
ton to the policy of Russia in Persia and AAghanis-
TAM and the other the condition of England her
self
It's asserted in the diplomatic circles SO far from
taking offence at the refusal of France to raty the
quintuple treaty, Russia and Austria grati6ed.
Russia, as you will see has purposes of her to
complsh; while Austria, having no commerce and
desiring crafty the Tory Ministry in England has
accomplished ner purpose as WcH as Nussia ny TIC
alienation of France and England
In the meantime, the public sentiment of France
has become decided, that it is longer question
of Ministry, but is openly said, that to ratify the
treaty would upset the dynasty. 1t is distinctly
understood that, far from ratifying the quintupIe
treaty. the principal question in the next election Of
Deputies will be the abrogation Of the previous trea-
ties, under color of which, the French complain that
great injustice has been done to two French ships.
| There never has been time when, in time OF
peace, the feeling against England decided in
France as it Is and, if by consequence, the
feeling in behalf of the United States and of Ameri
ca is as strong This is exhibited in all classes Of soce
tv-in the cafes, in the shops, the Boulevards,
and in the saloons.
more striking instance of this occurred few
days since. A young American, while chafering in
shop, said something which gave offence the shop
! man, who flew into passion, and denounced him as
| an impudent Englishman. They came to sharp
words and crowd gathered around the store, became
much excited, and insisted upon Furnishing the An
giaise The American bethought himself and said
that he was not Engi ,hman, but an American
That one word was enough. The crowd hailed him
as the friend of France, and he escaped
France feels that America and France have COM
mon sympathy, because there is impression in
France there will be war between England and Anne
rca May He who rules the des,ines of nations avert
such calamity
am not the enemy of England, but if were her
enemy-f wished to see her bowed down, and her
power blotted out would do what could to provoke
a war between England and the United States.
The Message of the President has done much to
advance the credit and character of the country but
if you have any influence, defeat, if possible, any at
tempt to send the credit of the Government into this
market l see that the Secretary of the Treasury
proposes to send special agent here to negotiate
loan He will not succeed, and the attempt will but
dsparage our credit
Almost all the nations Of Europe borrowing
money for works of internal improvement, and we
have no hope but in own resources. The secret
ofcredit in Europe is, that all European States re-
uuire that funds in chancery and in trust, and the
funds of minors and Others specially provided for
by the esator are be invested in the public securi-
ties la France the public officers are compelled to
invest the security or caution money in the public
funds If he postmasters and other pubic agents
were compelled TO deposte an amount of pubic debt
equal to their bonds, it would bring up the public
curiries at once If the States would adopt such a
system, Illinois bonds would not be bought for 20
cents on the dollar.
We must prove that have conf lence in our
selves, and all will 60 well.
