the evidence that the process of the courts
could be executed without military force;
that no resistance was offered to its execu-
ton, and it is clear, also, that the causes
coul1 have been removed from any place
to some county in which fair trial might
have been had. Why, then, did the Gov
ernor prefer to resort to the extreme meas
ure of proclaiming the counties OF Ala
nance and Oaswell in Instruction, rather
than use the remedies ready 10 his hand,
of removing the causes to the counties IN
which convictions might have been ob.

THE COMMUNISTS OF FRANCE The
Chicago Journal calls attention to the
fact that the ''communists' Of France,
who have caused the recent Disturbances
there, "are socialists who would substi-
tnte license for liberty, plumber for indus
try. and anarchy for order. and says:
1t was by this very class of fanatics
that Louis Philippe was ovegIhrown.--
Ledru Rplln and Louis Blanc, names as
familiar to newspaper readers to day as
10 history, were the communal leaders
of the second Republic, while Lanartine
was the leader of the moderate party
The dissension then was essentially the
same as now. At that time Louis Blanc
and his faction insisted that it is the duty
of the Republic to provide employment
for every citizen. and national workshops
were actually established and run at great
loss to the government and injury, really,
to the people. The gigantic folly of ate
hers nationaur finally became SO obvious
that the system was abandoned Ii was
its abandonment which brought on the
sanpuinary instruction of June, lS4S.

SAYS. " the apostles of socialism, after
inundating Paris with the blood of thous

The great historian little thought, rs he
penned those words, that he himself
would be Mt the head Of affairs Mt the
next outbreak.
Ii was communism which overthrow
the second Republic and established the
seconl Empire, and not Louis Napoleon.
The better class of people had been thor
ougly frightened by socalistic raids upon
society. and in many cases preferred an
autocrsev to democracy fraught with such
alarming perils,
AS this class undermined The second
Republic. so it threatens to the third
The only hope of Napoleonic restoration
lies in the lawessness of these insane
communists. RepubIicanism might well
exclain, "deliver me from my friends"
