FRANCE! FRANCE! GLORIOUS
RRANCEII

I would willingly forgive the
third Napoleon all transgressions
connected with his coup d etat
upon his advent to power, and
when he sent in Punishment to a
place called Cayenne and else
where, the noblest minds and
patriots Of France, Charganier,
Lamoriciere, Cavaigniac, Ledru
ROllin, Victora Hugo, O'Dillon
Barrott, and M~ontalambert. ! say
l would willingly forgive him, If
he now revenges the blood. thirsty
spirit Of the Prussian Butcher,
who urged the Duke Of Wellington
to shoot his uncle, on the field Of
Waterloo. Personal or individual
revenge is insignificant and imbe.
Gle; that Of q nation embodies all
that is noble and grand. When
Louis Napoleon asked the French
Chamber to give him ten years to
develope the resources of France,
it was willingly granted; and the
world to-day gazes with wonder,
establishment and jealousy, at the
result ; they look with a sort of re.
allied nightmare and paralysed
fear, as at a nightly spectral, when
they behold that immense struc.
ture Of political and military
power about TO be welded by
the master mind of France
against all her adversaries. When
the first Napoleon fought single
handed every crowned head Of
Europe combined, it will not be so
easy to-day to crush Vive la

Marie = Edme = Patrick Maurice
de Mcmahon, Duke of Magenta,
who takes command Of the French
armies, is reported to trace his de.
scent to an ancient Irish family
who lost their fortune in the cause
of the Stuart dynasty, and shared
the exile Of James II. They car.
ried their pride and gallantry to
France, distinguished themselves
in many wars, and through advan.
tageous marriages mingled their
blood with the highest nobility in
the land.
The Duke Of Magenta was born
at Sully, July, 1908, entered the
military school Of St. Cyr in 1926,
and after graduating in 1880, was
sent TO Algeria. AS Aid de-camp
to General Achard, he took
part in the expedition to Ant.
Werp in 1882, was made Captain
in 1888, Major of foot chas-
ceurs in 1910, Lieutenant Colonel
of the foreign legion in 1912, Col
onel Of the Forty-frst of the line
in 1916, and General Of brigade in
184S. When General Canrobert
was recalled from the Crimea in
1866, Mcmahon was appointed to
succeed him as a General of Div
ision, aud in that capacity led the
assault upon the Malakof. His
brilliant success on that occasion
gave him the Grand Cross of the
Legion of Honor, and in 1855 he
was made knight Grand Cross Of
the Order of the Bath. He took
an active part in the Franco-Ital-
ian war of 1859, won the victory
of Magenta, and with it the baton
of Marshal and the title he now
wears. He represented France at
the coronation Of Frederick VIII
liam Of Prussia in 1851; was ap-
pointed to the command OF the
Third Corps d'Armee In 1862, and
was nominated Governor General
Of Algeria Ia 1884. McMahon is
considered one Ofthe best soldiers
in Europe.

Taxes and Expenses.

The taxes should be reduced
one hundred million dollars, and
the expenses of the Government
fifty, and yet both anticipations
fail. The cost Of the Government
is now over three hundred mil.
lions a year. The interest on the
public debt is Sl25, 900, 600, leav-
ing ,000, 900 for ordinary ex.
penses, against $50, 000, 900 or S7O-
900 1000 before the war. About SO
are paid out for ordinary expen-
ses where one was expended ten
years ago; and yet the Republican
press applauds the government as
wise, honest and economical. The
present rate Of taxation gives q
surplus Of q hundred millions a
year. Reduce the expenses fifty
millions and the taxes one hun.
dred millions, and we should still
have, reckoning the increase of
business resulting from the de-
crease Of taxes, a surplus Of sew
enty-fve millions q year. In an
other year taxes could be cut down
fifty millions more.
When Radicals talk about the
economy of the present admins
tration, and quote Secretary
Boutwell's monthly report to prove
the public debt is being reduced
Sj0,000,000 a year, tell them how
the Radical ex-C Comptroller of the
Currency, Hon. Freeman Clarke
Rep. }, says the thing is done. He
says the people are taxed 5000, 900
900 a year to support this admin.
istration, bnt that of this amount
only the paltry sum of $4,000, 900
is applied to the reduction of the
debt. Under President Buchanan
the entire tax Of the people did
not reach 70,0OO,0 900 ayear, $780,
DOC, 1000 less than the administra-
ton the Radical prints are praising
for its econOmy.-N. Y. Express.

but as evideneing the spirit which
prompts France in the struggle
she is about to engage in. France

The Spanish Throne question is
no cause Of the war, but only the
occasion: nor can Prussia much
complain that France goes to
war for insufficient causes. As
has been well said by a Northern
paper Of influence, which censures
Napoleon and sides with Prussia,
that the aggressions Of the latter
on her neighbors Of late years
have been justified by pleas even
less tenable than those by which
France now defends her course.
