! The closer the view we take Of Europe, the less
promise Of stability do her political ins buttons hold
out, and the more marked the distinction between
cur condition and hers. There, all il transition,
from Lisbon to st. Petersburg No government
whose existence il would DO prudent to ensure for
twenty years-no dynasty whose name has taken
root in tie minds Of its sutjects-nO people which
does net look forward ardenty to . new AMI bet
ter form OF government, can be pointed out on the
| map. All is uncertRinty-precipice. The seed
scattered on the wind in l7S9-trodden under foot
! by the iron heel of Napoleon still further crushed
BY his combined c0nqusrors-began, in spite Of all
to germ in 1913, and is now pushing vigorously in
search Of a nook or Granny through which it San
penetrate to the broad day. Ou.wardly, it would
seem that the popular party in Europe nas gained
nothing by the movements Of 1875; wherever
We look, the reaction appears more vigorous
and complete than The advance But, in reaIity,
like the victories Of Pyrrhus 10 Italy, the trnmphs
Of monarchs their subecs scarcely loss pre-
judicial TO the former than defeats. Each success
siye retrogrsde step is but truce, which affords
time to the popular party to regain strength and
courage, and prepares them for new struggle, moro
desperate than tho last Existing governments sTe
accepted and tolerated make shifts, holding out
tsir promise Of brief tranquility aud flourish
ing trade; but so soon rs nations have recovered
from the exhaustion Of the last conflict, and fatten
ed on the substantial benefits of peace the bastie
will be renewed with more energy than ever
This manifest insts oil;ty il the marked oharac-
tsrstic Of al tho political institutions Of ooHti
mental Europe II is equally obvious in the imperial
government Of France and the constitutional au-
thari,ies Of Prussia. Whether she whole nation
torpdly resigns itself into the hands of single
man, or whether the republican party, with more
temper than discretion, refuses to exercise any po
litica rights whatever under constitution which it
does not approve, the prospects Of the government
seem the same. The despotirm o. Austria ana the
anarchy Of the German States reveal il in equally
broad outlines. Political Europe Is seated on
nine, which will certainly explode, sooner or later
There are some who expect that this explosion,
when it does come. will oprsst society, from the
howell 70 the throne. They tell u that We must
