THE FRENCH PRINCES.

The world has made a wonderful
progress in ideas since the first French
revolution in 1903. yet failure as it was
in its republican aims, there are Re-
publicans in France to-day who want
to copy its policy as model. One OF
the old fragments OF bygone policy,
that Of bsnishing from france the
princes that belong to families that
have reigned in the country, was put
before the Legislature there last week.
BY the vigorous efforts aud sound
sense OF Monsieur Freycinet, the
measure was defeated by very salts
factory msjoritY. The Republicans
who advocate such measure as q safe
guard TO the republic, are reallyshow-
ing fear that the republic is 30 weak
that the presence Of these men in
France is capable OF endangering its
existence, This is aitributing to them
a degree OF power and influence they
can possess only by Republicans being
untrue to their principles, and def
cient in faith in them. When our
civil war was over, the adherents
TO the Union did not think its ties 90
frail that its leading opponents must
be banished. The first French re-
public banished and guillotined its
monarchs and mobiles wholesale, but a
republic that could not live without
such cruelties could not survive with
them, and was trodden under,foot by
the despotic Napoleon Bonapaite.
Within the dominion OF France the
princes are under the eyes OF the
citizens, and within the control OF the
law. Exile them and they will COM
bine and conspire with their creatures
and emissariee Left behind, and trouble
will come as 1t did before. A prince
under the republic is a citizen like the
rest, and ought to be nothing else, yet,
strange to say, these men who would
Danish them make no attempt, such
as good, sound Republicans ought to
carry out, TO abolish their titles. OF
all absurdities TO read in the
French papers and hear in
/ French conversation about prince
this, duke the other, and marquis
something else is ono of the greatest
Let those who fear the evil influences
OF primer and mobiles do as has beer
done with us-require that no title
shall be conferred, and elevate the
princes aud other mobiles TO the dig
nifty Of pure and full citizenship, un
sullied by mischievous distinctions Il
only for ieudal rights aud medieval
blunders. When thus advanced IL
the political sphere, let them alone Il
attend to their own business as othe
people do. 1t is we'll for France tina
the silly attempt to Danish men tina
ought to be only citizens has 90 sig
nally failed, and it is pleasure to rec
ognize that in Monsieur Freycinet tn,
French have a statesman who appear
likely to prove worthy TO be the sue
cessor Of the much missed Gambetta

WASHINGTON, March 8. - First
Comptroller Durham has prepared a
statement for the Secretary OF the
Treasury, in answer TO Senate reso.
luton calling on him to report the
way the amount Of money has been
expended by the United States since
June 90, 1874, on account of the judi
cial expenses OF the Territory of Utah,
and the extent 10 which it has been
reimbursed therefor. The Comptroller
calls attention to the provisions of the
legislative, executive and Judicial ap-
preparation bill of MaIcn 3, 1879, in
which $23,40 is sppro pIiated for sal
aries and expenses OF the Legislative
Assembly of Utah, and tor the
judicial expenses Of that Terri
tory, which latter payments are
to be reimbursed hon the
Territorial treasury, aud until such re-
Endorsements shall have been made

not be entitled to any further compen-
sation or allowance from the United
States. Out If the appropriation in

The United States Senate appears to

They pant for greater hight and more

TO soar by increasing the sphere Of

maxim that IL Is not what men are but
what they hare that entities them to

to fitch pinions from the Lower

CONSERVATISM OF OUR RE.
PUBLIC.

Inc views Oh tue historian rrOuuej
published in the APPEAL last week,
have much interest for American
readers. They show that, with all his
conservatism, Mr.. Froude imbibed
some excellent republican ideas when
he was visiting the United States. He
acknowledges that the present position
OF Parliamentary government in Great
Britain is radically defective, and he
sees the necessary correction can be
made only by the adoption Of portions
Of the governmental system of the
United States. The principal danger
in the English system is that the ad-
ministrative branch OF the govern
ment is wholly at the mercy OF the
legislative-practiCally Of the House
of Commons alone. Without msjor-
ity in that house, the Ministers must
resign and others take their place
whom majority win support. This
destroys the independence OF the
executive by subjecting the remaining
in power Of any existing executive TO
the will OF the legislative power. A
division takes place in the House Of
Commons; the Ministry is in the mi
nority and out they 90. In a few
weeks the majority turns the other
way, and back comes Ministry OF the
same character as before. The vote
that expels the existing Ministers may
have no reference to the general policy
OF the countty,bu Notwithstanding the
executive functions must go into
other hands. The affairs Of Eng "a nd, Ire
land, Scotland, Wales, the East Indies,
the numerous and extensive colonies,
and all the intricscies Of foreign policy
must pass over to other managers.
Such changes, based upon the vote Of
Parliament, upon individual questions
are no less than petty revolutions,
That serious dangers may arise from
ouch a dominating OF one branch OF
the government by another is evil
dent. Our own system allows
OF change, but such as affect
the administration occur only at def
mite periods and are made deliberate
ly by the people, not by avote Of Con-
gress under the excitement Of q heated
debate. This principle Mr.. Froude,
and large body Of conservatives in
England with him, wish TO see adopted
there, so that the executive power
may be relieved from Its day by day
dependence upon another branch Of
the government, and act independents
" of a mere Parliamentary vote.
Times change, and strange change II
is to see the once despised democracy
Of the American republic pointed to
as an arc Of safety by English conserva'
tives. Republicanism is indeed max
ing headway when such thinkers look
TO its principles as refuge from de-
iects In the monafchical system. Who
can tell what great and revolutionary
events are preparing, from the dis
cOveries the English are making o.
dangerous defects in the system they
have 80 long relied upon2 When the
extent and nature OF those dangers arr
inquired into, will not the English
people demand settled constitution
In forming such an instrument where
would the hand Of improvement stop
its purifying work.

[spEorAL TO TIE APPEAL.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March 9.-The
case of Bennett Parsons, supposed to
have been murdered by his wife
Nancy and daughter Josephine, was
argued nearly all day to day and late
this afternoon was given to the jury.
Early tonight Il verdict OF guilty of
murder in the second degree was re-
turned as to both women, punishment
being fixed at twenty-one years inn
prisonment Lawyers for the defense
say they will probably appeal.
In the United States Court YER
diet for ten days Imprisonment and
$50 fine was returned against j. M.
billiard OF Etowah county, for eXtort-
ing from three men in his county by
representing himself to be revenue
officer when really deputy marshal.
The matter has very much the look OF
a case of hush money from scared
moonshiners, but Billiards victims
deny that they had any hand in any
such business, and were actually ac-
quilted of that charge at the last term
of court.
