THE PRESS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION

Rochefort, who has been, as some think an ad-
mlrer OF .ne orleans family, comes out III strong
terms against them In his journal OF Sunday the 5th
He says:-"Tne Soir states AT least the Orleanists
are honest; that is cerain.'o Rochelort replIes:-
The Orleanisrs have never served France but as
Kings on one side: on the otner they have lived In
england twenV-two years. Their candidature for
the throne Is the demolition OF our beiOved republic
Tor tne edlncation Of which we have SO absrlously
worked; ana these honest people,' in aspiring to
the throne are IN my eyes. all tnat Is dishonest An
honest KING IN my opinion, just tnsuKerable
one who IS not honest; and the thing the Duke
UAumaie can DO, to prove himself as honest
as tney say, Is TO remain IN England
IN his chateau Twickehham and become skilled IN
fencing ior the improbable event when Prince Napo-
leon WIN decide to fall In line with him. Rocne-
