which rendered disObedienCe almost the
solitary crime. Much has yet to be re-
vealed of the internal order Of Paraguay,
but from all that has reached Europe it
would seem that under the Missions,
Francla, The elder Lopez, and the Dicta-
tor who has Just been slain fighting, the
one grand crime in Paraguay has been
disobedience that every other has been
visited leniently, but this has been treated
aud regarded as reason in its highest
sense, an i~mpious breach of devinely APP

misery, defeat, and hunger il began to
crumble awaN 1t was the idea Of ogan-
'z1tiOn from above carried to lis logical
xcrcme, as it WAS also, we conceive, in
Peru under The lucas, where all society
.0rmed, as it once did also in Egypt, an
industrial army, Iabouriug, Gu tiyatjrg,
fighting, dividing and rpdjvDding its fields,
building endless lengths of narrow road,
erecting wide cities, conqncrIng new
provinces all at a signal given from above.
French socialists have always sighed for
some such scheme, the same idea domi-
mates he thinkers who, like Mr.. Greg,
insist on a laW-regulated slavery as es-
%Seutial to the industrial civilization of ne
groes, and certainly its results in Para
quay were extraordinary. A savage tribe
was welded into an army incapable of a
breach Of discipline, which unlike the
.S"pOy army needed no white coercion,
which was filled with men who bore all
things and dared all things as the order
reached them, who rose 10 heroism or
Self-sacrihce, or in many cases i%ntelll-
gence, through obedience alone. The
instrument had been perfected, and TO
the last it worked, till a State no bigger
than Glasgow deied an empire, and its
ruler, after his country had persisted, and
his army had been destroyed, aud all his
promises had been faISiied, still found
ParaguayanS to die around him as Scotch
men are proud of their fathers having died
around James V. at FIodden. That a
man so situated should be a "tyraut" was
inevitable. His raiSOn d'6tre was the as
sumed righteousness of tyranny. He was
bound to punish as Nature Furnishes, in
eyitably, pitilessly, without reference 10
