We repubsh the following extrac. from long arti.
Gle in the Journal des Dcbas of Paris upon the late pres
dental election, to which the Baltimore Republican has
called attention What noble tribute to coun-
try What compliment does it convey upon the acts of
administration, which will hand this prosperous
country 10 the new administration! What reflection
upon the turbulent and factous minority and the vio
lent Chiefs" who have thrown themselves into opposition
to the President from the 18th March, 1915! Yet the
Journal dies Debats does not ell half the story 1t speaks
of the prosperity of country at home but it does

we have acquired in distant nations by the vaior of our

instead OF enjoying our prosperity without alloy,
and advancing to the glory 10 which we appear TO

mands instead of combining the federal governmental its
legitimate and specified objects, and leaving the State
governments and the people TO consult the interests which
are conhded TO their care, agators who

dwelling upon those great interests upon which we all
agree they delight in harpng upon the only question on
which interests and feelings distinguished Why
