and bigotry and traditional prejudice that
exists among the tory classes in England

recently held In birmingham at which rcsolu-
tions were adopted asking the government to
apI oint a royal commission 10 look after the

position next year. Lord Salisbury, replying
for the government. says England cannot give
official recognition 10 the Paris exposition be.
cause II Is in celebration of the centenary of
the French republic. which was born in the
revolution of 1850. This, at least, Is the mean
ing Of his answer and the ground of his refusal
TO allow the government 10 take the action
requested. The position taken by Lord Sails.
bury seems very absurd 10 Americans. We
celebrated the centennial OF an American
republic in 1876 at Philadelphia, a republic
that had its origin in revolution against
Great Britain, and yet Great Britain was
officially represented there without the
least show of inconsistency. The ceebra-
ton of the birth of the French revolution car.
rics with it no direct reflection on Great Bri-
tain. The English manufacturers are anxious
to exhibit at the Paris Exposition next year
and have already taken 100000 square feet OF
space, so that Great Britain will be there
whether officially so or not The business
men of England are too shrewd to allow an
opportunity like this to pass unemployed.
Lord SaliSbury's action Is illustrative of the
Jealous eye with which all Europe looks upon
the French republic. II is doubtful If one
monarchical European power Is officially
represented az the exposition of SO because
of the contemplate, insane prejudice against
the growth and success of the inevitable
democracy. But the exposition will be a
great triumph nevertheless. Every European
country, with the possible exception of Ger.
many, will be represented there in the exhibits
Of it, manufacturers and business men, and
the American republics will all be there
officially. our own government has
done itself honor, and the cause of human
liberty and enlightenment honor, by accepting
the invitation Of the French government, and
authorizing the expenditure of s25O.0OO in be.
half of our representation there. There never
was filter deed done by Congress than the
appropriation Of this money for this purpose.
II was a rebukc to the blind and bgoted
monarchies whose topling thrones still re-
main as the mementOes of past despotisns
and a just recognition Of brave people who
have succeeded in establishing republic on
European soil.

THERE was written in all innocence the other
day paragraph for these columns in which
the question was propounded, "Wil some
kind soul inform the REpuKliCAN why II is
that all the people who 20 to theaters don't
some time, by accident, take It into their
heads to go on the same night" To this the
following reply has been sent
II is because of an arbitrary arrangement
of atoms and molecules in nature that is
known TO human beings as the eternal fitness
OF things.
Two particles cannot occupy the same place
at the same time.
Motion is the result of the application of
force to matter.
This force may be either direct or inverse,
that is TO say 1t may be magnetic or attract.

In its structural relations TO itself as of parts
10 each other or of parts TO the whole, these
diNersities are constant. They are the result
OF arrangement and MOI, of accident; The
world is filled with attractions and rcpVlsons,
ana they operate as causes OF motion, and
matter, whether animate or inanmate, exs
hihits an abject obedience thereto.
But there appears in nature a certain equi-
libration Forces that run counter tend lnu.
tually TO soothe rather than TO irritate,
And human beings are so constituted as to
crave harmonious existence except as they
are acted upon by ulterior or artificial causes,
and the more nearly these causes can be made
counteractive the greater the degree of human
happiness that will accrue.
Now, human beings are impelled to any
action only by the thought or belief that they
which may present itself in the guise of
amusement, instruction, or personal gain
Each entertainer has acquired such a kuOwl-
edge of his particular environment.
And his judgment has become so educated
as to the wants of those with whom he has
been placed in most, frequent contact that
each appears to have begotten In the other an
attraction that Is mutual, and from II ema-
mates the law by which each Is confined to his
particular channel of daily routine and which
brings about that constancy Of movement of
which note is made.
SympathetiCally yours, a KIND Soul.
II is very good Of "A Kind Soul" to attempt
a solution Of this problem, but we fear IL Is
pitched in too high key of metaphysics to
answer the demand Of the ordinary reader.
Another communication would be in order to
explain the explanation. The question is one

simple, straightforward manner The popu-
