The eXiled Comte de Paris, rs he turns
his back upon his native land, like the
Roman Catalina hurts hack defiance upon
the Government that banishes him. II
90, but l return" said Catalina; 'at the
decisive hour l shall be ready says the
Comte de Paris.
In the Court of Paris is embodied the
monarehieal principle and the acknowl-
edged head of the Royalist party. He is
sues a manifesto full of ominous words.
He SAYS that in prosecuting him, vengeance
is taken son the $500, 600 voters who, on
October 4 condemned the faults of the Re-
public which sought TO intimidate those
daily detaching themselves from the pres
ent regime"
The Count in speaking Of France further
slys in his manifesto:
"She will recognize that the monarchy, by
its modern principles and institutions, can
also furnish the remedy. This national
monarchy, of which am the representa-
tive. can alone reduce the Importance
of the men of disorder, who threaten
the repose of the country; can
alone secure political and religious liberty,
restore public fortunes; give u demo-
cratic society a strong Government, open to
all superior parties, and with an ability
which will bring to Europe o pledge ofever-
lasting peace. IL is my duty to labor,
without respite, i'm this work of salvation,
and with the aid OF God, and the cO-Opera-

These words of defiance, rs might be ex-
pectcd, are causing great excitement IN
France. 1t seems probable that the princes
will prove more dangerous TO France
abroad than at home. What sympathy
thew NAV have had for the Republic will
he alienated by these harsh measures, and
| the adherents of royalty will be increased
through the sympathy of those who regard
the action of the French government rs
persecution. Then, too, the baniShed
princes will be in q better position to con-
spire against the Republic.
The American people have had warm
symuathies for the French in their efforts
to establish a republic. The eyes Of mon
! archical Europe are nov upon rance rs
they were once upon this country, and up
ON the success or failure of her experiment
of popular government depends much IN
the coming history of European nations,
GUIZOF says in his History Of Civilization
that every great idea that has moved the
nations of Europe has first been filtered
| through France, no matter where the idea
originated. The same it appears, Is prov
ing true in regard to popular government
| Our people would like to see her succeed,
| But with the iicklcucss and indiScretiOn OI

! struggle. In the wake Of the baniShmcni
of the princes will come the trouble with
the Church Congress ut Toulouse. NJ.
| GOBLET has prohibited the meeting OF the
Congress. But the Catholic Mirror says;
The meeting will take place, by episcopal
summons, despite the prohibition; and the
only way it can be suppressed is by brute
force. Thus, the republic will definitely
place itself upon record rs the sworn en-,
envy of religion and Of freedom Of con-
science" At such n time rs this the Count
of Paris may act out his words: AT the
