EUROPE.
We referred few days ago TO letter adj
dressed by Garibadi to Karl Blind. the we'll
known German republican, ard now the editor
of the Eideenossc, a new republican organ,
published in the Germans language IN London.
Garibaldi builds great hopes On this new lte-
rary enterprise. Recognizing the Germans as
lao leaders in the intellectual progress OF
Europe he thinks that they are best qualified
among the European nations to unite and con-
centratc the efforts for the introduction of re-
publican institutions, and to act as the arbiter
in cases of international ieud7.
The letter of man of the cosmopolitan repu-
tation Of Garibaldi cannot fail to attract the at
lention of the entire Progressive party in
Europe to the new paper, which if It's circulation
hall equal the ability with which it is edited or
the confidence which the leaders OF the Progress
siye party have reposed in 1t, bids fair to make
its influence felt in European politics. The
Eidgenose now publishes another letter, adj
dressed to it by one of the foremost republicans
of Europe, Joseph Mazzin. His views on the
work which the Eidgenosse proposes to IT.
self, and on the prospects Of the republican
party in Europe, will attract no less attention
than those of Garibaldi. However opinions
NAV differ Oh the craftsmanship of Mazzni, it is
on all sides admitted that none has labored in
Europe with greater perseverance, and with n
frmer confidence i'll the triumph Of republican
principles than be.
Mazzini states that he has read the first num-
Der of the EngsnosSe with great satisfaction.
The work which the editors have undertaken he
regards as indeed good and holy" They
speak the truth as it appears to them, frankly
and fearlessly. They take for their final goal
tie most direct road, without minding the ter
rors that may endanger their progress. This
ought to be plain duty for all; but, in fact, it
is nowadays Il very rare merit
Mazzini joins Garibaldi in paying his tribute
to the intellectual greatness Of Germany.
Your country" he says, "has produced so
many ideas that il might furnish 10 all of Us d
supply" But the deeds, he finds, do not cor
respond to the ideas; and the great object Of the
Germans, in his opinion, must be to restore the
equilibrium between ideas and deeds The
masses of the people and the democratic poll
ticans lack now, as in all periods of transition,
moral courage. They ought to know that
monarchy is dead"-that it exhibits no longer
anywhere a creative power"-that all its
wisdom now consists in distracting and resist
ing the progressive tendencies OF tho age-that,
therefore, il is a fearful self-delusion to expect
the contamination of German unity from Vienna
or Berlin instead of the German people, and
still to shrink back from the only national pro-
gramme: The Peopie-1 Constituent assembly
National Unity.
In conclusion, Mazzin predicts that, what
ever may be done, Europe approaches imper-
ccptibly, yet inevitably, universal crisis. The
year 1913 furnished the programme; but the
faults of the republican party prevented its
realization. The task of the European nations
now ought to be to organize and to distribute
their common work among the several nations.
Every people that will really live must take
an active part in the common work. To be
able to do this, the people must have a center
of action, national unity. Germany has
need of haste, in order to emerge from the i'm
potency resulting from its being rent into
thirty-one fragments. These must first be
united, ard this union can only be effected
through the people itself
So far Mazzin 1t is one of the most signif.
cant signs of the times that men like Montalcm-
bert, who have spent whole life in combating
the views of Mazzini, and in denouncing him as
dreamer, sophist or something worse, now
admit that the principles of which Mazlini has
been lifelong champion, are on tho eve of a
universal triumph. One of the greatest draw
backs to the progress of republican principles
has hitherto been the unsettled condition of
the nationality question. Maz1ni Garibaldi,
Blind, are all agreed that ths question must
first OF all be settled and thexe are strong indi-
cations that an understanding may soon be
arrived at among the leading democrats and re.
publicans OF Europe. If they are successful in
this, the triumph Of republicanism will be
greatly FASTENED.
