snents Of soldiers are not Kept un-
der arms until one o'clock of a bleak
morning, even to present arms and
shout rtUas, without q motive. 1t
looks as If the Enperor's admins
traitors are In possession OF coming
events hid from common inortals'
eyes. Last week the eompositors
belonging to the government print
ing otIlce were locked up and placed
under sentries for the night, await
Ing ''eopy" of proclamation. The
same care is being observed just at
the moment of writing possibly TO
be again set aside. Why this hesi-
tation-this Fabian policy? The
nation simply demands the every
day liberties enjoyed by the people
surrounding them-and to grant
these would shake q throne and de-
stroy dynasty, said to be firmly es-
tablfshed in the affections of thirty
| FIVE millions of Frenchman-exeept
those calling themselves RepubIi-
cans, who remember the following
oath solemnly sworn to by Louis
Napoleon: I" In presence of God,
and before the French people, repre-
sented by the National Assembly, /
swear tn remain faithful to the dem
ocratic Republic, one and indivisi-
Bile, and to fuIfiil all the duties i'm
posed on me by the Constitution"
This handwriting they ever keep
firmly on the wall Then there Is
another class who oppose the Second
Empire, who see that within the
last ave or six years all the enter
prise5 Of the country have been
either rash or badly conducted. In
Poland, threats but no advance-in
Mexico putting up an Emperor to
have him shot down-and in Dem
mark, talk, but no work. A month
before the battle Of Sadowa, the
Emperor said at Auxerre, that it
was necessary 10 tear the treaty of
1916 to rags. Bismarck alone, hoist
ed the Emperor with his own pc
tard-he gave Napoleon his own
words to feed on, but kept the logic
of facts for Prussia. The surprise,
therefore, Of ofFrenchmen was great,
to see the German empire of Otto,
Barbarossa and Charles the Fifth, 50
many times demolished by French
hands, reappear ike Jonali's gourd.
1t was painful. 1t produced want
ofconfidence in those who directed
the State. How remedy the evil ?
Inaugurate at home truly liberal
laws, such as Spain enjoys, MAKE no
more laws hampered with restrict
ions, or grant concessions, to be sub
sequentiy retaken In tietaii-give to
thought and action, not the liberty
Of tobacco shop or bakery, but the
freedom that freed men have right
to possess. Eschew the system of
domicillary visits, of making each
man spy upon his fellow; grant to
each citizen the right to think as he
will and express 1t as he desires,
leaving error to be corrected by
bringing 1t into collision with truth.
Abroad, let France relinquish aprara-
diEement--to act toward Others rs
she would Others to act towards her
let her have the decision of char
acter, without tho ambition which
characterized the reign of Henry the
Fourth, OF RiehelIeu and Louis the
Fourteenth. In fact, let France
know herself, and the existing un-
easiness, dread and danger will dis
appear.
A constitutional monarchy posi-
ble--this Is the only advance the
question of Spain's government has
made during the week. ft Is q good
progress to. Ii has revealed the diff
fiesllty Of finding suiiable caradi-
date, the right man fog the right
place. Each Pretander has r1aore
objections than advantages In his ia
yor-but all are full Of as many
promises as would be Representa-
tive Of the people. This delay, and
difeulty, Is not infinical 10 the pros
