IMAGINATION

President MacMshon has been fairly
forced to yield to the demands OF the
French people, and accept q Cabinet
drawn principally from the Republic
cans, and with the members Of which
he can have 10 sympathy whatever.
lie Is. by all odds the most completely
BUNDLED man in Europe to-day. He
has been beaten at all points, and now
finds himself at the head Of n great na-
ton. without q single vsstigs Of thai
autocratic power which he tried to as
sumo, left to console him. Most men
OF any pride would find 1t convenient to
resign under the circumstances. But
il is not probable that MaeMshon will
do anything Of the kind. lie has still
his Bonapartist friends to look after,
and their interests arc safer In his hands
than anywhere else. During the com.
ing years OF his reign there will be am
pie opportunity for intriguss to seat
young B~onaparts. and so long rs there
is the least elimmeriug Of hope in that
direction. the President will probably
cling to his power.
