HE sensational character of French liberal
ism renders 1t more aggravating TO the Impe-
rialists, but in reality less dangerous aud far
easier to oppose with effect than if there were
less sound and fury and greater amount Of
real energy Men like Rochefort, Victor
Hugo, and other agitators are not content
unless they are perpetually doing something TO
make people talk about them, and their con-
duct seems to indicate that they care less for
the success of the principles they profess
than they do for the applause that greets their
sarcasms and witticisms A French liberal
would apparently prefer to say sharp thing
that would make people laugh at the Emperor
and his system of government rather than,
by holding his tongue, aid in promoting
substantial reforms. The personalities in
which Rochefort has been in the habit of in
dulging were undoubtedly very annoying,
and the Emperor showed very plainly that he
was annoyed by instituting proceedings
against his tormentor. He has now, how
ever, hit upon exactly the right way to deal
with such men, and that is to let them
severely alone. Rochefort's attacks on the
Emperor gave huge delight to very large
class of Frenchmen, simply because they saw
that Napoleon and his wife-especially his
wife-showed themselves to be extremely
sensitive to the ridicule heaped upon them.
Rochefort, however, has been permitted
now to return to Paris, and to say pretty
much what he pleases. On the strength of
his popularity he has obtained his election to
the Corps Legislatif, and his first act on taking
his seat is piece of sensationalism such as
no real statesman would have INDUCED in.
Yesterday he made the extraordinary demand
that the National Guard be ordered to guard
the Hall of the Corps Legislatif for the pro-
lection of the MEMBERS the meaning of
which was that he feared attempts at intimi-
dstion on the part of the Impsria authorities
The demand caused an excitement, which
was just what Rochefort wanted and
it excited the cheers of some of the oppo-
sition members, which WAS music to his
ears. He certainly did not have the slightest
expectation that his demands would be COM
piled with, and the whole performance was
but specimen of the claptrap that makes
French liberalism disreputable in the eyes of
all thinking men. Bad as the Imperial Gov
eminent may be, the French people very
rightly prefer it to the rule of such men as
Rochefort and it is they who in reality are
the firmest supporters of the empire, sim plv |
because they demonstrate every day how much !
it is to be preferred to what they have to offer
in exchange for it.

Justice" writes to the Moynjng Post COM
planning that we were profoundly stupid in
our comments yesterday upon the Cuban
question, and that our assertion concerning
the course of France in the Revolutionary
War was ''either an error or deliberate
falsehood.' 1t was practically neither the
one nor the other, as we are happy to inform
'Justice." For centuries preceding this
period there was practically an uninterrupted
warfare waged between France and England,
the so-called periods of peace being at the
best mere temporary truces. Such was the
character of the relations between the two
countries subsequent to the Peace of Paris,
1903. 1t is true that nominally hostilties
were brought to a close by it, and did not
again commence until after France had entered
into treaty of alliance with the revolving
colonies. The first material assistance ex-
tended to the colonies, however, was the ex-
pedition commanded by Count Rochambeau,
which did not arrive in this country until
1880, two years after the treaty of alliance,
and the reopening of hostilities with Great
Britain which Immediately Followed; although
previous to Rochambeaus arrival, a French
fleet, under Admiral dEstaing, had been
cruising off our coast without much consert
Of action with our own leaders. But from the
very outset of the troubles between the
colonies and the mother country, the sympa-
thies of the French Government and people
were actively enlisted on the side of the
colonies, and the final outbreak Of the Rego-
luton was owing in greater measure to the
intrigues of the Duo de Choiseul q leading
French statesman, than to any
other extraneous cause. To all intents
and purposes as far as France was concerned,
the American Revolution was an insurrection
instigated by the French ministry against a
country with which they had been for years
merely seeking pretext for quarrel, and
an opportunity to strike blow in the back.
This view of the subject of course, detracts
much from the generosity and kindliness of
the course of France, but it is, nevertheless,
the only view which is warranted by the
facts, as We find them recorded in history.
But the whole subject is side issue, and
does not help the cause of those who would
embroil the United States in a war with Spain,
on behalf of the Cuban insurgents.
