The Struggle In France.

The true nature of the political issue in
France is now evident. The elections next
month will be contests between the Bonapart-
lists and the Republicans. The followers of
the Imperialist Pretender now throw away all
disguise and proclaim that the French people
must choose between the Republic and the
Empire. The Duke and Marshal who now
holds the executive power is faithful to the
system under which he gained his honors and
his titles, and exerts the whole influence of
government in favor of men devoted TO the
restoration of the Imperial rule.
At first thought it would seem impossible
that there could be a large party in France
desirous of bringing back the dynasty identi-
fled with the defeat at Sedan and the loss of
the Rhine provinces. But that dynasty is
also identified with the greatest triumphs ever
won by the French arms, and under its lead
the French battle-fag made the tour of Eu-
rope. The recent humiliation pales and fades
away in the strong light reflected by the mem
ory Of the glories of the First Empire, when
the French Colossus bestrode the narrow
world. All Frenchmen dream of revenge for
the humiliating defeat of 1870 and many be-
lieve that that revenge can only be accom-
plished under strong military rule. The
Bowgeoisie, they argue, are too fond of peace
and the movement of aggression will only be
made by government created by,and depen-
dent upon the army, The Napoleonic legend
is still strong with the peasantry, and the Ina
perialists aided by these memories and by the
power of priesthood which has never really
lost its hold upon France, present strong
front to their adversaries.
Yet the Bonapartists are destined to fail.
Superstition and ignorance are still mighty
powers in France, but their strength is wan
ing. In the years which have followed Sedan
Frenchmen have learned much and, better
still, have learned to forget much. Political
order and industrial prosperity have taught
them that the country is as happy and far
more free under a government Of the people
than under splendid and costly monarchy.
And though the reactionists in France, like
the reactionists here, may gain an adventi-
tious popularity because OF commercial dis
bICSS3 plOopClOQo luuSb SOUu return.
and the tradesmen of Paris even will learn
that their profits do not depend upon the
patronage Of regal court. The Bonapart-
lists do well to make their struggle now, for
the Republic is growing stronger every day.
But in proclaiming their purpose they alien
ate men, Legtimists and Oreanists, who
have contributed materially to the support of
the President and his policy. The adherents
of the House of Orleans will presently find
themselves in the Liberal ranks, and the
Legitimists, as strongly opposed to the EN-
pire as to the Republic, will hold aloof from
the strife. Thus the contest will become
struggle between Bonapartists and Republi-
cans. In that contest there is little doubt as
to which side victory will incline.

IT will not be surprising ii quite squall
shall come in the New York stock market
before many days. The California specula-
tors who went on Change with heavy sums
OF money some weeks since have found that
all their efforts to unload their stocks pur-
chased at that time have produced tremor
which has forced them to repurchase to pre-
vent crash while they still had good deal
OF stock on hand. Every movement is there
fore watched with great interest and tum-

THE Penge murder case, which has at
tracted so much attention in England, is a
most remarkable one. After the four persons
accused have been condemned and sentenced
to death for the murder of Harriet Staunton
by starvation, it turns out 10 be entirely un-
certainswhether any murder was committed; !;
the opinion that the woman died of disease
being strongly supported by respectable sci
entifc testimony. Some of this testimony
was excluded at the trial because the judge
had scruple about its admissibility; some of
It appears to have been overlooked by the de-
fence, and the rest has only been elected in
the discussions raised since the trial. On the
strength ofa post mortem examination which
is pronounced highly unsatisfactory and in
complete and which, in the view of some
medical authorities, affords positive disproof
of the theory of starvation, four persons
were condemned to death, and would ere
this have been hanged had not overpower-
ing demonstrations of popular dsapproval
induced the crown to grant reprieve.

A COLLISION is likely to arise between the
Italian government and the Vatican respect
ing :he nomination to the Archiepiscopal See
OF Naples,now vacantby the death of Cardinal
Sforza. By the old laws of the Kingdom of
Naples the See is in the gift OF the Crown.
Should the Pope venture to appoint prelate
of his choice the appointment would be chal-
lenged in the Kings name.

PASSENGERS on the deck of large pleas
ure steamboat, running through the narrows
of New York Harbor, several years ago,
were amazed and greatly alarmed by seeing a
large cannon ball pass over the boat. The
ball was from a cannon in Fort Hamilton,
which the gunners had supposed was aimed
at target nowhere near the boat. The res
idents of the quiet village of Minton, in
England, have also had an experience OF
bombardment in time of peace. At midday,
a sixteen-pound shell fell in the middle of the
main street, and ploughed up the turf long
distance. Another shell soon fell into gar
den near by, and a third, entering the roof of
barn, utterly demolished the building. The
frightened villagers fed from their homes to
the open country. 1t was soon ascertained
that the Royal Horse Artillery were practis-
ing gunnery upon lofty eminence some two
miles distant, and that the gunners had put
their targets in a line with the village. A
mounted messenger informed the officer In
command, of the village catastrophe, and the
firing ceased.

How to get ''the staff of life'' during the
next nine or ten months is problem which
France and England are now considering.
In both countries home-raised wheat has
been the reverse of abundant this autumn.
The harvests of England have been under the
average in the last three years. The supply
from Southern Russia, interrupted by the
war. cannot be looked for now. The area of
cereal cultivation in England annually dim
inishes. Compelled to rely for the most part
on foreigners there is natural rise in the
price of bread, and even an advance of two
cents in the quartern loaf is serious matter
in English households. 1t is calculated that
between November and July England will
have to pay $3.50, 100000 for breadstuffs-to
pay it in specie, moreover. Ere long France.
will have to 60 into the same market, there
by competing with England, and so keeping
up prices. What four-pound loaf of bread
shall cost may seem trife-but prices and
profits in England are regulated by the rate
of bread. As there is no evil without set
off. we may notice that if Europe wants
breadstuffs the United States can supply
them to the fullest demand, and at a low
price considering. Or course we shall
profit by our customers wants and wealth.

THE men who stand behind the rebel
claims are not asleep. Friday week Senator
Merrimen, of North Carolina, introduced a
bill repeating single section of the revised
statutes. 1t had an innocent title and
seemed perfectly harmless. But upon exam
ination it turned ont that the section pro-
posed to be repealed is the only law which
stands between the pension roll and the
whole Confederate army. To repeal it
would be to open these rolls to all disabled
rebel soldiers and the wives and children OF
those who were killed. 1t would be to incur
the risk of adding twenty or thirty millions to
our annual expenditures. That such a bill
was offered in the United States Senate
shows that the scheme is entertained. The
only safety consists in preventing these men
and their party from getting control.
