such revolution as Paris has never yet

in New York have your commune in your

officers elected by her own people, and so
does every other city and county in the
United States. But, above or with this,
YOU have your State Government and
the Federal Government. Now, if you
can conceive of New York throwing
of her obligations of obedience to the
State and Federal Governments, and
setting up in perfect independence on her
own hook; inStigating Buffalo, Rochester,

THE UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC.


In all the great towns the working
man" was in majority. Let the great
towns he taken by the workingman, and
let the great towns govern the country.
This is the sum and substance Of what is
meant by the Commune as expounded by
its present apostles. Paris, they announce,
Gin her own name, and in the name of
Lyons and Mar:eiIlcS, and of ten other
large towns, will study the clauses Of the
contract that binds them to the nation, and
lay down an utimatum to the treaty which
they intend to sign-a treaty guaranteeing
the autonomy and municipal sovereignty
of the cities the freedom OF the connec-
tons between the Commune and the Ma
tional Assembly, and an electoral law by
which the towns cannot be swamped by the
county" You in New York will UNDER
stand this. How often has the Democratic
metropolis been swampcd by the Kepubli-
can rural districts? But ! do not think
that the Democratic metropolis ever con-
ceived the idea OF setting up for itself, and
declaring that it would be independent of
the rest Of the State unless an electo-
raj law could be enacted which would ena-
BILE it to swamp the country.

Now am able to say that this Blanqui,
who has inspired all this wonderful work,
foreSaw, with rare instinct, that when the
Central Committee-ot which he was the
hidden but all-powerful head-should have
given place TO the elected Deputies Of the
Commune, the latter would lack unity of
purpose and be apt to split up into factions,
10 accuse each other of treachery, and gen.
orally to bring TO naught the work they had
undertaken. With admirable wisdom,
therefore, he ordcred-and the order was
obeyed-that above the elected members OF
the Commune should be createda

THE RED REPUBLIC.

THE RED REPUBLIC,
with all the proper accomplishments O
crimson flags and Phrygian caps. They have
entered into negotiations with Prince Bis
marck, claiming to be the real government
OF Paris, which they are, and of France
which they are not, and have taken into
consideration the means Of obtaining the
five milliards which must be paid to Ger
many. They propose, us the best means o
getting this money, to sell ut auction all the
crown property. An Anglo-Amcrican com
pany have offered a millard for the chateau
and park of Versailles. A German com
Danv have offered 0,G00, 600 for st. Cloud
with the object of starting gaming table:
like those of Baden. Five hundred millions
have been offered for the park and chateau
of Fontaiuebleau. 1t is calculated that the
total result of these sales will amount tC
seven milliards. France will thus gain two
milliards clear, after paying the Prussians
Then, also. they have crattily provided
for the erection OF a .-s
POWERFUL STANDING ARMY,
in quiet mockery Of that section of the
Central Committees programme which de-
clares that standing armies shall be abol-
ished. This army is to be well paid-two
and half francs day for a private, eX.
elusive of his rations and clOthing-and it
is to conSist-in fact il does consist at this
moment-of twenty-five bqttalionS for SER
vice in the field, twenty batteries of seven
Founders, fifteen batteries of mitrailleuses,
and a BODY of cavalry. Behind this force,
which is composed of picked men, many
of them soldiers of the regular army, Is the
whole National Guard-the whole, that Is,
of the able-bodied men of Paris who will
sign certain paper prepared by the Com
mllne. Those who do will get one and Il
halt francs day, and may attend to their
business as usual, except when the Com
mlinc orders them into service those VINO
won't sign will get nothing, and will have
their guns taken from them, 1t is all very
simple, you see. What else have the Com
mittcc and the Commune done!
The committee has given orders that all
chaplains are to cease celebrating mass in
