 An Old FrIend-A Young Republic.
 An hundred years ago when America was fighting for Independence, the god
 mother of oar newborn republic was France. Nov-within few weeks-that great people have ratified the decree of their Assembly. and established, their own xepablie. During the century of our na- tional existence France has seen four great revolutions. Twice she repndiated the elder Bourbons: then the Orleans dynas- ty; and, last of all, the Napoleons. Twice before has repnblic been attempted and in both instances government by the peo- pie has been overthrow by military vio- lence. The Conservatives who suppressed the Commune tried also to suppress the Republic for the third time. but failed. After years of delay the French people have been allowed to express their opin-. ion at the ballot box and the result estab- fishes the French republic apparently on 6 stronger basis than it has .ever before known. President McMahon has yielded to the popular verdict, and conservative Monsieur Buffet is succeeded by a pro- nounced republican as head of the Minis try.
 It would be premature to assume from the fortunate result of single election the permanent success of republicanism in France: but there are some peculiarly cheering features in the present ''situa- tion." For once French republicanism has developed a leader that Las known how to bide his time. Like the shrewd parliamentarians who overthrow the Stuarts in England. and, like the wisest of our Amer1can statesmen, Gambetta has recognized the fact that tyranny IS most effeetually destroyed when it destroys it. self. Instead of hastening in the old French way to overthrow an unpopular govern ment and dissolve reactionary Assembly by popular violence, he has allowed that Assembly to quietly decree it's own disso- lution, and that government to make itself more and more odious, knowing that the appeal to the people must finally come and that the longer the appeal was delay ed the more decisive would be the result. The Republic may not become, indeed, 8 permanent institution in France. There is still that terrible menace of a great standing army; and there is always dan ger that Republicanism will blaze up into Radicalism and finally explode Con- munism. Still. for once. it has started in a good way. It has shown the cautious forbearance and steadiness that indicate a power of self control never before char- acteristic of popular movements in France.
 At any rate it is very pleasant feature of our centennial-this of the adhesion of our old friend and ally to the principle of government of the people. by the peo- pie, for the people. Let us hope that, after century of wandering in the will derness, the countrymen of Lafayette are really entering their Promised Land.
