Russia and the Revelation.
Of The y. Y rnbrre

of the Revolution Why is it that she wishes the
government OF LouIs NAPOLEON TO preserve
provfory character and opposes every dehnitive con
frrniion which the President Of France expects from
assuming the title of Emperori
Russa declares that she can recognize only one le-
climate Government in France.
But has not LOUIS NAPoL ION done more to introduce
tranquility and order than possible to the Bour-
bors OF the present century overthrowing parties and
crushing the daily excitements by which they were up
held Can il be really expected of the Count DE CHAN-
noKp that be would give greater security TO affairs in
France
Impossblel If the French have become so wesriei
out and inde politics that in case they could
be content with the Count DE CHANBoRD, provdcdh he
were made king without great struggles and convusions
their indifference would be obstacle 10 the perma
nent establishment OF monarchy
The Absou;i.m OF foreigner, of eonqueror, or Of
a native partisan. who should seize upon power by
mean. OF party struggle, in order dehntveiy to put
down al parties nigh, he grounded on the POLITICAL
WEAKNESS and indifference Of the people AM ndee Is
only poesibe tyt j. WEAKNESS But monarchy demands
community IT interests and SOLITARY, uu Il ooigu-
ton bciwcen the ruler and the subjcc's Royalty aud
aristocrucy either remain ia the original ollsnce lich
they formed in behSl OF oouqueet--or royalty estab-
hstes compact with the people as II has done since
tic Latter centuries OF the Middle Age, and avas eli of
the devotion ana gratitude which inc people IN
ior it, aid agans the aristocracy, in orier To sui
ject their Original allies 10 Reef and - transform ts
peers and Y, seals into subjects.
Esch of these cour.es has been sioylel in France
each il wcrn en-, and again be repeated There
is no longer til GrsiOcracy in France, watch serve
ar protection to the monarchy but a. the same time,
there longer p"ope whose gratu lie and devotion
are to be gained 10y gylng them freedom from the ari
tocracv Since the last century. France has been
pletey demOcraiical-,hc aristOcracy has lost all its
import Icc-and hence, royalty has no longer any his
toricsl significance
Only one experiment reniains--monarchy may COM
bne Nth the Third E-ta.o IN order 10 purchase their
atteclne nt by the protection which II affords them
against the Sucsiist professions OF the aborug classes
LOUIS PHILIPPE tried this experiment, but failed, be-
cause monarchy longer Possesses the power and the
independencc 70 successfully combat the explosion OF
the revolutionary excitement of the workinymen.
Nothing but AbsOlutisn can do this-or Il alone has
that concentration Oi power winch no longer needs ALL
ance with pecal clGs:t rather brings all down the
same level AbsClutm needs no longer to coquet with
the bourgeoise--bUt it also has power enough 10 sup
press tue violent erupOns in which the confused Ideas
ofthe class seek find vent and obtain recoy
milton and influence. Abolutsm reduces all classesinto
one social OrdeI-but leaves this order to msks il own
arrangements, suppressng only the attempt 10 founi
such arrangements on crude ideas.
European society is too FAR advanced for monarchy,
from which the Empire, ~ one form of modern Ab-o
lum is altogether different, 10 stand tori IN opposing
relations II has far too important problems to soNe-
the organization which seeks 10 establish ~ wei IN rs

must NJ every on feels be too comprehensive and pro-
found for it TO cherish sincere and permanent interest
in tie old principle Of royal legitimacy
But no wneIc-and ths shows the preenlnently rcvo'
lutte nary end modern character OF that county, roy
ty more completely undermined mo- where - alih Ia
legitimacy wei as all interest in it, more completely
shattered than in France Could IL then be possible,
that Russa nthe interests OF legitimacy should consent
10 acknowledge the Government of LOUIS NAPOLEON,
ar n dChnvc arrangement
Before the affirmative can be maintained, it must be
shown that Russia, whose secure, and at the same te
elevated POSITION gives the most quiet ana o-o the
most mprehensiye view of the condition OF Europe
was smtsn with sudden bindncss-t must be shown
that ns diplomacy which is ahead of every European
state had Iuddenly lott its superiority.
How could Russa be 80 poorly IN tructei IN ia" CON
di,icu ii Europe, ground its whole policy a. re-
enrds WtetoTn Europe, on the COUNT DE CItshBoRDf
Could it know - little Of France ~ 10 fancy tha thr

uLuol Every man who reads the new-p,pers must
know how little the COUNT DE CHAMBoRD IL qualified
TO control hs small party OF nobemen-h0w he Is
involved IN constant strife with them In regard 10 the
principles Ct legitimacy and the course which th,y

Could ihen Russia nlone-while no in Europe,
with the exception Of or two lie climate adventurous,
build her political plans on an illuson'
Trcre no State which less subject 10 Illusions than

Sill Rus ia 10 tie only power which at once has decided
the nicn OF the Governments against LOUIS NAPOLEON
