reconstruction Is tho wntchword every
where, In this country 1t is the great ques-
lion Of the day. It Is the same In Russia.
In that Empire, as well as In the United
States, tho work OF emancipation Is to be
completed by that Of Reconstruction. A sim
ilar process is going on in England, where
The uristocracy are obstructing the task Of
reform, aud thus paving the way for more
thorough reconstruction. Italy is also Gu

This century, which opened shortly after
The outbreak OF the great Trench Revolution
and the foundation Of the American Repub-
lie, 1s now beginning 10 crystalline these great
events into worldwide chaugcs. The belief
in the potency Of K1ns OF priestcran han been
shaken everywhere By the French Revolution,
ard the result Of our late war has impaired to
republican institutions a prestige such rs
thcy never possessed before In tho cyos OF
mankind. The third, like the 1lrst Bona
partc, It'll attempts 10 balance between the
Revolution End fcudalism, but the fnilure OF
this attempt is maniics: In the wars which
arc pow raging Crowned heads arc driven
to their Wits end, nnd the greatest bully
among them carries the day. Prussia pounces

riau independence, In the downfall Of
Rome, and in the supremacy OF Prot.
cs.ant power in Central Europe and of
ltulian domination from Rome to Turin, ao3
from Sicily to Esnctia. But what has all this
10 do with The French Revolution and with
American Eepublicanism AS much as effect
has to do with cause. These great cras in
human history constitute the landmarks be-
Tween ancient and modern Thought, and
.Hccs revolutions in politics like those which
tic Reformation wrought In religion. They
proclaimed Tie rights Of man Us cmphatical-
IL as the Reformation had proclaimed those
OF conscience, and tue three together are the
trinity Of The ages, scattcrin.: 1Ar md wide
the seeds Of civil and religious liberty, and
releasing mankind from the thraldon Of tcm-
pora1 mud spiritual oppression.
In the confusion Of the present complica.
lions in Europe, the only safe guide to the
Judgment is recurrence to these general
historic facts which unlerlie modern civilian
lion everywhere. Protestant Germany, head
cd by Prussia, represents the idea of prosrcss
norc comprehensirely than Catholic Ger
many, led by Austria, aud this vantage
ground is 80 immense that not even the
ruflinnism Of Bismark can weaken its intrinsic
moral power. Italy, though nominally
Catholic, has embodied In her Constitution
all the principles Of civil and religious liberty,
upon which the Pope tramples, and which
The Austrian Kaiser opposes. Italy enters
consequently upon the fight, supported By oil
the ideas Of modern civilization md ar7ayed
against ages Of Pontilcial and Imperial op-
preston arc the rights Of man, as they In

With the requirements OF humanity, and alive
With :hc teachings Of history.
