The French Republic.

The result of the French Parliamentary
elections will be awaited with intense IN.
terest by all friends of Republicanism,
both IN this country and in Europe
That this appeal to the French people
will be favorable to the republic, past
events clearly portend; and the conf
dence with which the Republicans look
forward to tho approaching struggle is
not oil assumed, as glance at the cleo.
ton returns since 1871 shows.
In the first Assembly after the war OF
1870 there were only $50 Repub licans to
372 anti-Republicans. But forthwith
the movement in favor of Republication
began to set in, movement which has
as yet received no important check. In
July, 1871, 122 vacant seats wero filled,
90 by Republican Deputies and only %
by anti-Republican Deputies. Among
the former, 46 were Radicals, with Gam
BETA returned by three constituencies.
Partial elections to Fill other vacancies
occurred at different times until Februa,
ry, 1875, in which the Republicans got
50 seats and their opponents but Is.
On Feb. 20, 1876, was held the second
general election since the war, when the
Assembly recently dissolved by McMa-
hon was chosen. This time the Repub-
Leans carried off $40 seats, while their
opponents secured but 49, In sixty de-
partments all or majority of the Dep
uiies elected were Republicans, and in
TWEEN ty.nine departments one-balt or
less of the successful candidates belonged
to the same party. In the general cleo.
tons of 1871 there were departments
from which no; one Republican Deputy
was returned. The contrast is striking.
If we turn to the total vote of Franco at
the last general elections, there is found
the same favorable showing for the re-
public. Of the 7,210,097 votes cast d.
DOL ,265 were for Republicans. In the
city of Paris the Republican party polled
1864 votes, against 1894 Monarch
cal and Bonapartist votes.
The foregoing facts show rapid and
overwhelming gain for the republic IN
the National Assembly and among the
French people; and we may expect in
September another endorsement of the
republic more decisive than any previ-

GOING FOR THE "SICk MAN"

Whether or not the great powers Of
Europe have such an understanding as
represented in the following, may be q
mooted question. A London dispatch
says it is known al understanding has
been arrived at between Russia, Germany
and England, and that each nation is 10
haye share of tho spoils of the sick
man. Greece cannot object, as she fears
Germany. Austria is now crippled, as she
does not fight without Great Britain al
her back. 1t is understood Russia will be
satisfied with Armenia and the independ
ence of the prineipalities on the Danube,
England is to receive Egypt and Cyprus
Crete is to be handed over TO Greece.
Germany's share of the spoils is suppos-
ed to be the Baltic provinces Of Russia
Others apprehend that Germany will be
allowed to dismembcr Austria, adding
100000 Germans to the rule of the
kaiser. All this looks as if the "heirs'
were indeccntly worrying themselves
over the estate before tho old man has
passed in his checks. Wait until he is
dead.
The Turks are especially bitter against
England, whom they say deluded them
into war and then deserted them.
Prediction is made that the war will be
over before a months time.

whose deliberations have not always
been of the most fraternal character
Since the days of the disruption the es'
tabIished church of Scotland and the
free church can scarcely be said to have
been on speaking terms. Time has soft.
ened the bitterness of the past, but the
day was when two ministers preaching
the same gospel within the same parish
would pass each other by on the road.
side with bitter frown. Nor has the
church in America been free from divis-
ion, or even bitterness. But they have
met to talk these matters over, and it is
to be hoped to hail the dawn OF new
day. And "Auld Reekie" has opened
her hospitable doors and her venerable
monuments. The sun has consented to
shine for the nonce on the beautiful city
which stands in it's pride, dixie a chief
tain old and gray, with young and a
bonny BRIDE" No filter spot could well
have boon chosen for this important and
reverend deliberation. The home of
beauty, of culture, and of ancient lineage,
the Scottish capital lays open TO the
strangers her wealth of memories in his
tory, religion, literature, and art. AT
one end Of her fashionable tboroughfare
rises a monument to the poet Burns, at
the other a recently erected statue OF Sir
James Y. Simpson. Between these two
great effigies-the singer who touched
the heart, and tho physician who minis
tered to the body-riscs in stately beau
ty the Scottish tribute to Sir Walter
Scott; and above and beyond the statues,
gardens, and the crumbling homes of
dead nobility, appears the ancient castle,
with its moss-grown walls, and the ven
cradle church, whose rafters echo to the
eloquent tones of modern Presbyterian
ism. All around the delegates may see
reminders of their ancestors and their
faith, and no wonder tina: they feel as if
they had gone back to tho roof that
sheltered their childhood and were once
more clasped in the arms of their cher
isbing mother.

instead Of being kept in the State treas

One of the argxnents adduced against
the scheme WAS the danger of lose TO the
State BY the breaking of banks. Mis-
sour has just had costly lesson in this
respect. The State Bank of Missouri,
which disastrousiy failed only few

moneys in banks is saro, sooner or later,

however, held an honorable position in

NO CONVENTION NECESSARY.

The Atchison Champion has made O
suggestion which is good one. Chief
Justice Horizons term expires next Jan

elected this fall. The suggestion of TIT
Champion is that no Republican conven
ton need necessarily be called to put
candidate in nomination for the Office
but that this work be done by the State
Central Committee that they place
the present incumbent in nomination
and have his name printed on the tickets
throughout the State. Judge Horizons
judicial ability and integrity are ques
toned by no one that we know of, and
we think the Republicans of the State
should regard him as alread y nomi
mated.

CALAMITY FEJED.

OF course a person is disagreeably af'
fected sometimes at the spirit of toady-
ism shown by tho British people towards
distinguished men who have visited
proud Albion's shores. The Shah of Per.
STA was greeted as if he were demigod.
Other scions of royalty have been re-
ceived and probably over will be receiv-
ed with the same "gush." But never
have the Britons before done themselves
so proudlas in the reception they lately
gave our distinguished ex-Presldent.
No royal blood flows in his viens, and
vet he is ono whom all the nations OF the
Earth are proud to honor. Royalty
took him by the hand and feted and
lionized him. Nor was the self-made
man augbt abashcd amidst all this royal
glitter and splendor. He carried him.
self as if he had been born to an empire.
And amid all these fetes and ovations he
did not one single act or thing which
furnished his dignity and great name.
In the midst of Princes and Lords and
Dukes and knights he was like "Wlld
Will Shakespeare" bowling to "My Lord
chichester" 1t was immortality bowling
to mortality. He paid them the respect
duo their noble houses and names, and
it was returned to the great American
four-fold. We are proud of our EXPIRES
ident. His tour abroad is Americas
triumphant tour among the nations of
Earth.
