MARSHAL BLAINE - " ilhtONt4 may ~
tbe result Of the remarkable trial of Marshal
Bazalne, now in progress IN France, 1t Is
tolerably clear that his reputation as pat
riot soldier is gone, and that even if he does
not lose his life, bis disgrace is irretriey-
able. The facts established show that.
while other generals, without regard to per-
sonal affiliations. were fighting in good
earnest for the defence Of France, taking
their orders from and making their re
ports to the only central authority that
existed, Bazainc chose not to do so. lie
has admitted that he recognized the En-
press as his only legitimate superior,
though he knew at the time She had
fled the country. leaving the work OF
defence to chance Orleans princes and
legitimists MOBILES were in the army with
Bonapartist chiefs, all fighting manluiiy Tor
the defence, and taking orders IRON the
only legitimate authority. BaZalne appears
10 have been inspired with the notion OF be
coming thearbiter of the destinies OF Franco,
and all his operations looked to that end.
Hence he co-operated with no one IN the
field. and appears to have cared nothing Tor
the safety OF any but his own army. In
honoring McMahon and humiliating Ba-
zaine the French nation establishes I'm
ally the principle that the loyalty of the
soldier is due 10 the nation alone, that
dynasties may change, revolution follow
revolt. sovereigns seek safety in flight,
republics rise and perish, but the army re-
mains intact, the sole reliance Of the people,
and that his fcalty l. due to the nation alone
over and above all else in times Of peril'
To that duty Bazaine was derelict, and that
failure i and should be fatal not only in
France. bat in every other civilized country.
The commander of an army who sets any
thing above the safety Of the nation de-
serves death. This is the moral of the great
I trial now pending in Paris. 1t l. not
