powder ready to blow whole streets into the

the voices of ALL BY Q will of which she is
worthy, without the spilling of blood, with
out fra.ricidal strife Behold the third
awakening it is ideally beautiful! The
third say rather the fourth; for We must
not forget that 1890 was republican At the
beginning. We have fought for her only to
lose her. To-day she rises complete with
single word, "Vive Ia France" This then

humanity desires. This is the inevitable
end of the prodigious toll of humanity. 1t

manliness of man can only deveiope in the
air Of freedom.
"Behold the God of armies His name is
Country and Liberty. Hail to the Repub

people is now marching under thy banner
after a bloody expistion. Thy task is hard:
but should it happen to thee to fall once
more. thou wilt surely rise again. The rights
of man are impershable."
