FRANCE AND AMERICA.
LECTURE BY PERE HYACINTHE.
THE DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES OF THs TWO RE.
PuBLICs.

PUBLIcs.
Pero Hyacinthe lectured last evening in Stein
way Hall to a rather slender audience, on France
and America" As on the previous OCCASION ne
spoke in French. Among those present were the
Rev. Drs. Howard Crosby, Henry NJ, Field, and
James W. Shackelford; Canon Rocca. of Perpignan,
France; Professor Charlier and Cyrus W. Field.
David Dudley Field presided, and was the only
supporter of Pere Hyacinthe on the platform. The
celebrated orator wore the strict clerical dress OF
an Anglican High Church clergyman. 1t was re-
marked by several persons that his style has i'm
proved since he was the predicateW of NOtre Dame.
AT that time the soul of the man seemed to labor
under an incubus that impeded its untrammelled
utterance. Now, he speaks freely and with assur-
ance. His utterance is as rapid ever. his words
pouring out in torrent every one well chosen and
in place. His gestures are rapid. The impassiOned
earnestness which marks all his utterances, the
magnetism of his glance and the pathos of his APP
peals well explain his great past popularity when
priest of the Roman Church.
After some preliminary compliments to the chair
man, he said
My subject Is France and America the differences and
resembiances OF the two countries most fraternaly
united in history There have been In the past two
ntions which may be called twins Those OF 1889 and
1910. The end OF both the same. The democracy
America was nearly the The repositories OF the
sovereignty were at the same time subjects, They
elected their legislature and accompanying magistrates,
submitting themselves TO the utmost dominion Of law.
The definition Of democracy that the rule of the people
shall never disappear from the earth. The government
OF the people ought TO be by the people; all in accord
on this point yet It may be maintained that the people
are not adapted to govern society because they lack

THE INFLUENCES OF MONARCHIsM.
How different are our conditions in France! We have
to contend against the influences OF thirteen centuries of
mOnarchism. We surrounded by Kings and En-
peror5 who seek to strangle the Republic in its
cradle. And the struggle with them viii be
