Resignafion Of Rcy. r. Brooke
Rev. F. Brooke, who for the past eight
months has been, rector Of Emmanuel
Church, resigned on Sunday last his
charge Of tlat congregation. His rea-
SONS for this unexpected movement
were not publicly stated, but we learn
that at least one reason moving him
thereto was that, like Simon, he felt
that he had toiled all night and taken
nothing. The congregation have been
much pleased with Mr.. Brooke. He
is che Of the best preachers we have
had in the town, and if they could
have been permitted to speak for the
Master they would have eXhorted him
to launch out the ship into the deep
and let down the net.
We regret the departure Of Mr..
Brooke.

Bismarck is now realizing the difference
in ease with which horse can be led to,
water or made. to drink. Aisace and
Lorraine are in the peaceable possession
of Germany but the progress of dena-
tionalizing the Inhabitants is admitted,
even by the Germans. to be very dis
oouraging. The striotest non:intercourse
is maintained on the part of the people
with the new officials. and the nntipathy
to everything German is daily growing
in violence. The people in the rural
districts actually refuse reparation for
their losses at German hands, and main.
tain an attitude as hostile, though unor-
ganized, as they did during tho war.
Bismarck, however, exhibits the utmost
skill, patience and forbearance in deal
ing with them. recognizing the work as
one of no easy or rapid performance,
and herein fully maintains the reputa-
tion he hos already acquired as the best
statesman in Europe.

A HUGE THING N1ppED IN THE BUD

A HUGE THING NIppED IN THE BUD
Tho Radicals. not dreaming that they
would be defeated, but, on the contrary,
sincerely believing that they would DO
the victors in the recent contest, had
made preparations for monster parade
with torches, 1900 of which were to be
out. They also went rs far as gotting
ready on efiigr Of their couqueror, but
which was nipped in the bud by the
overwhelming defeat which they have
been made to suffer. How much in con
trast with their intentions is the conduct
OF the viotors. Although they had overy
reason to glorify tho event by public
pageant, they did not do 3d. When the
Radicals surmised that the Wagenor
party had an idea of night parade,
forthwith the Mayor Of their election in
vited o conference of leading citizens to
ask that it would not occur. We're they
where we are now, see what they would
havo done. When a Radical does wrong
it is right, but when otherwise it is a
monstrous crime. But things have
changed. Charleston Courier.

Coup D'ErATs. is so essentially
Frepoh thing, that We heye mot at.
tempted 70 find i pbtassSfof it tn Epg-
lish, as a1ssither England nor Arsesiea has
had personalSo resher national. hse
for it:Ss It, partakess too. strongly Of
other French coups, like the coup oe
solsil- quite as sudden and sharp. The
consideration OF it's character arises
naturally from tho recent statement that
the Count de Ohambord proposed TO try
its efficacy. It means a sudden stroke
of State policy, usually intended for the
overthrow of constitution or dynasty.
It is not on ordinary revolution. for the
mass Of the people have little to do with
it. An ambitious man, with or without
rights" privately gathers his parti.
sans, inoculates the army, counts his
chances, and bursts upon the world with
coup. An ignorant pupulace is para
lyzsd, and he holds tho reins of power.
OF course, the entire secrecy is the very
fret element of success. France see ems
to be in excellent condition for coup
deldt, as there are several chieftains
anxious for supreme power, but they are
watching each other 80 closely that
secrecy-as in the case Of Chambord-
cannot be maintained. Something like
this is called in Mexico pronuncia-
mento, and the only countries in which
such things are possible now are France,
Mexico aud the South American Repub-
lies.
