OF course = meeting OF this kind would not create
that same kind OF enth usasm which you would soc
in London or New York-not the enthusiasm which
any especial republican fete woold excite in Paris.
You see, that although this Is q republic, and be.
love in liberty, fraternity and equality, and all kads
Of things-there 10 war between classes. and this
is always active. So when Paris and France have
iete in honor Of the Exposition, and illuminate
nues and gardens, and darken the air with mutitu-
dinous dags 1t Is, alter all, the republican quarters

row. they have concern with any re-
publican fete. France is only their France

France does under any patronage but their own they
frown upon. so when they have their ietc. when
