NAPOLEON ON THE STUMP.-The Emperor
of France paid visit to Chartres on Sunday,
where he inspected the arrangements made
for the horticultural exhibition. He also
delivered neat little address, in the course
of which he recalled the memory of the re-
public, by stating that he had been in the city
when President. After this delicate remins-
cence he referred to the approaching elections,
advising the people to aid the cause of
''liberal progress, by voting only for men
worthy of the mission. His Majesty is m
able politician. He combines republicanisn
and imperialism in one, and will accept either
in any emergency or difficulty of serious
character.

Of this great fact will enforce its recognition.
Ii it is right in Spain it must be right in Cuba
also. This is the view, and the only view,
which should be permitted to control the action
of our government in the question. There is
no other safe position; none which will not
lead to complications innumerable and results
disastrous. A few short-sighted and selfish
partisans are calling for an enforcement of the
neutrality laws, and it is worth while to
examine what these laws are and upon what
principle it is sought to apply them to the
suppression of the great American principle Of
the right of the people.
The neutrality laws as they exist to-day
upon our statute books are disgrace to us as
nation, and are not paralleled by the laws or
the practice of any other great Power. They
are the growth of the era of cowardice which
marked the administration of the elder Adams
at the close of the last century, reafiirmed
and strengthened in 1918, when the country ex-
perienced a temporary reaction from the spirit
which laid the embargo of 1909 and made the
last war with England in 1Sl2-l5. The coun-
try, on each occasion of their enactment,
had just gone through long period
of commercial depression and disaster, and
was hungered for commerce. As pruden-
tial measure in the era of our national baby
hood they have done their work and are now
unworthy of our material and moral position
among the nations. The declaration of Presi-
dent Monroe, known rs the Monroe doctrine,
was national reaction against them, and
represents the true spirit which animates the
country and guides its policy. Any admins
tration which ignores this great fact and per-
mits itself to be guided by the moral cowardce
which enacted the neutrality laws will consgn
itself to failure in its diplomacy and to igno-
miny in the appreciation of the country.
There is but one path to success open to the
administration of President Grant 1t must
show itself equal to the requirements and
power of the United States of 1869, and not
undertake to fulfil its mission in the spirit that
animated our fathers in moments of depres-
sion two generations ago. We are now a
great and united Power, and any position that
we take is to-day considered by the nations
return when the Powers of Europe could take
a determination in an American question
without waiting to know what the United
States might think or wish in the matter. At
this moment the Cabinets of Europe are
passive on the Cuban question, waiting to
know and asking what view does General
Grant take and what will he do. In deciding
this matter he will receive the support of the
country and the respect of the world in pro-
portion as his administration approximates to
the spirit that animated the declaration of
Monroe. We have recognized the right of the
people of Spain to change their dynasty and
their form of government, and we must accord
the same right to the people of Cuba. Any
other course will be treason to the principles
that guide the American people and treason to
that self-respect which should animate our
policy as free and powerful nation

RELIGIOUS REvTvAIs. observing French
traveller who reported that the Americans had
three hundred and sixty-f religions and only
one gravy ought at this day to pay the United
States another visit. He would find that while
we are still behind the French in cookery, we
are still going ahead in new religions as well
as in revivals in the old ones, from the High
Church Ritualists down to the Latter Day
Saints. This is a remarkable fact, and yet at
moments notice all these worshppers will
turn from Moses to Aaron and his golden calf.
