Alsaon and I,nrraine

We perpe tually read of Alsace and
Lorraine as the Rhine Provinces.
We turn to a map of France and to
pretty much all the available geog-
raphical descriptions of that coun-
try, and we find no such divisions as
Provinces and no such names as Al
SAGE and Lorraine instead thereof
we find departments under entirely
different names. The fact is, the
old names Of the provinces are used
in common life and continually oc-
eur in history and reading, and in
order to understand the subject
thoroughly, one must be familiar
with both systems, the proriRcjdl,
which existed prior to 1890, and the
department, which has existed since.
There were thirty-two great provin-
inces and eight smaller ones, and
there are eighty-nine departments.
The old Province of Alsace is divi-
ded now into the Departments of
the Lower Rhine and the Upper
Rhine. The old Province Of Lor-
raine is divided into the Depart
ments of Mosele, Vosges and Meur-
the. The population is as follows:
Total German
| Department. Population Inhabitants
Bas Rhine $4,000 81 ,0OC
Haut Rhine $4,000 $4,000
Moselle $4,000 250,0OC
Meurthe and Vosges $4,000 100000
/ Here is total of some 2,4l7,00O
people, of which 1,357,00 are given
to the use of the German dialects
The most of these are in Alsace
where only about one-tenth Of the
people are of French lineage and
language, but said Berlin dispatch
of the 9th inst: "Alsacian sympa
thies altogether French" So tht
Prussians found them most assured
| ly. Lorraine, out of ,298,000 peo
pie, has only one-fourth of German
antecedents. Alsace was made par
of France finally in 1649, and Lor
raine in 1865. They are now regar
ded with eager eyes by Prussia
which proposes to take them al
part of the spoils of war, Already {
monition goes forth through Europe
and Prussia hears a murmur agains
her ambitious designs. If there il
any one thing, "the Powers" vii
have, it is an unchanged map. Louis
| Napoleon has tried to solve th'
problem of this rectiication of tht
frontiers, and his miserable failur,
is evidence of the difficulty attend
ing the solution.
