Bismarck is counting the pope. He
wants him as an ally against "the au-
dacious democracy" Too late! Con-
stitutional, representative government
must come to all the civilized peoples
of the earth. No man can now pre-
vent it. The divine right OF kings will
not stand in its ways. The pope could
not maintain his temporal power in
Rome. What will he do if he arrays
the enlightened opinion of the world
against him 1t msy seem sad to the
riders that the people do not longer
like to be ridden. But SO it is. They
have learned to read.
