THE EMPRESS EuaENIE

-
Poor Empress Eugenle, in common
with all the sovereigns, either does
not believe liz the success of republic
can government OH the continent, or
efrectually coneeals her opinions. The
hardest thing in the whole world to
bear is to see power. prestige, honor
and wealth slipping gradually from
ones grasp without power to reclaim
them. All Europe Is tending toward
liberalism in thought and government,
yet It's rulers seem to doubt the evil
dence Of their own senses, and forget
ting nothing, learn nothing. Eusenie
IL an Uuitramontane OF the strictest
sect, believes In the temporal, spirit
ual and eternal power OF the Pope and
his successors, and that the Papal gov
ernment will soon be supreme in
Rome. According to the Worlds &C.
neva correspondent. she said In n re-
recent interview that "the Pied
monteae government at Rome, the
anti. Christian aud Pagan court at Der.
lin. and the wild Communists at Ma
drid are filled with fear at the awaS-
ening Of Catholic France" and that
France would again be at the head
of the nations, the robbers driven out
OF Rome, the Pope restored aud Ger
many divided Into harmless States"
With Eusenie, as with many, the
wish Is father to the thought. The
Piedmontese and robbers, rs she terms
Victor Emanuel and the present ltal-
Ian Government, have effected changes
in tina, country at war with all the
doctrines Of the Ultramontanes. They
have denied the temporal power OF the
Pope. organized a constitutional king
dom and almost entirely suppressed
the towering nuisance OF a thousand
religious corporations, including mon
asteries. hermitages, ETC., supported
by the industry of the people, filled
with lazy devotees, producing nothing
for the commonwealth. besides being an
endless source OF trouble to the new
Government from their belief In the
temporal rights vi Plus IN. and the IL
legality Of the present Ministry and
Government. The Piedmontese Cath
olics are liberal. like Pere Hyaclnthc,
and don't suit the Pope or Eugenie.
She styles the Court Of Emperor Will
liam anti.C Christian and Pagan. This
Is but natural. whether she speaks rs
ex-Enpress OF n defeated power or rs
all ultramontane Catholic. The liberal
doctrines aud metaphysical character
OF the Germans do not hsrmonize read
lily with the zealous fcrvor aud devotee
like enthusiasm Of Engenie. In the
view Of such extremists, all who do
not accept their whole creed are
anti. Christians aud pagans. This feel
Ing smacks Of the 18th and 18th cell
turtles. bnt Ia d%iScernible among mod
ems, even In u own country. Eu-
genie. like all FreTchmeu and French
women. believes Tor hopes that Ger
many will soon lose her power, and be
divided into independent smaller
States. Again desire begets be-
lsef. To-day. Germany Is united
nor firmly than any confederation oil
the globe. and her power Is second to
none. With steady strides she marches
onward, aud the intelligence and In
dustry Of her people In both science
and arms gives omen Of future coll
quests and enlarged domain. Pope
Plus IN. will never again rule in
Romr. The separation Of Church from
State, Of spiritual from temporal gov
ernment, Is N accomplished fact In
Italy. Spain and France, and soon will
be throughout the world. Freedom OF
belief rs surely succeeds free govern
ment as the latter follows the educa-
ton Of the masses, aud both are swiftly
overthrowing all despotism In Europe.
