they inevitably bs cot CsrtainIy we
have ample evidence 10 tAe CONTRARY
in our own history. Not even to 20 30
far as tho name Of Wsstington-who
relinpishcd with honor the position that any
Roman soldier would have made subservient
10 personal snbition-not TO 60 90 far a. shnt
We have Abundant rDfdtssion Of the theory 4.
this war. At DO commencement, 1t may be
remembered, certain European writer's specu-
lated a. to which ono Of our coming soldiers
would rise upon the ruins Of his country and
convert the great republic into grand military
empire. But we have gone through the most
terrific struggle ever seen, and we are safe yet.
We have also produced In this war men of the
very highest order Of military genius; but not
one Of them has attempted TO turn his hand
against the government or seek his own ad-
vantage, except in the legitimate way. Are
Grant and Sherman honester than Cesar and
Pompsy weres Perhaps not. The result Is
otherwise brought about II is different age;
there is q complete and absolute difference in
tAe conditions Of national life; and that Ia
point that the Emperor entirely loaves out Of
sight, or even fails to see. Perhaps military
disorder and the inevitable impegstor did mark
the natural limit Of development in the days
Of Rome-but Is il 90 nowf The press, the
steam engine, the railroad, the telegraph, all
have been invented since then, and they have
made possible further development They
have enlarged life also; and while they render
it less likely that men in the position Of Grant
and Sherman will betray a great trust, they
render 1t absolutely impossible for such
betrayal to be effective against whole people.
The Emperor's idea Of the position that the
Bonaparte family occupies in the life Of France
Is made sufficiently clear. Napoleon the Great
was Cesar-the dominant intellect that con-
trolled all, the founder Of the Empire-and the
present Napoleon is the Augustus of the par
allel. But is this truei Roman history in its
great facts is distinct enough, and it Is certain
that the empire followed the republic. The
parallel, then, is not true; for France has not
yet had the republic. She has "declared" the
republic often enough, and has tried to estab-
lish it, but in vain. Earope in arms opposed
her. and she was betrayed by those whom she
ventured to trust Her attempts have all failed,
and there are hardly days in her history to
match the centuries Of Rome that followed the
abolition Of royalty and preceded the empire.
So far, then, from the Emperor's position being
identical with that Of one who came in the
period of splendor after the republic, he is
merely one of those who struggle for time,
and vainly, to prevent that development Of the
life of France.
