the late Government and the one that lmmedateV
preceded it had not pinned their colors 10 the
mast in making the Exhibition the centre ol
shows and festivities TO celebrate the centenary
Of the Revolution, doubt whether the elections
would have been as Republican as they are
France was electrified by the idea winch WAS
brought before her minds in the brilliant celeora-
lions of revolutionary dates that have been gong
forward since May 3. She grew PROUD oil her
Revolution and she was happy to feel mat
Paris WAS never more "A worldwide cynosure
than in this centennial year. The mOharches
had bovcotted her Exhibition. But what of that?
The people everywhere wanted to see It, Ana
when they sent delegations, these representatives
met with cordial welcome at the Town Hall,
and were fairly dazed with the splendor OF the
entertainments provided for them. Burns and
his associates and Aveling were the objects OF as
much attention as the Lord Mayor Of London.
When the New SorbOnne was opened the 1000
students who representa- all the universities OF
the world were electrified with what they heard
and with what they saw, and with the noble
hospitality accorded to them both by the State
and City Of Paris, of which they were for ten
days the guests. The thrill that went through
them vibrated everywhere, we may assume.
Wherever there were number of people, whether
gentle or simple, who aspired 10 more light,
liberty and higher social and political evolution,
they sent delegation 10 Paris. Lots of humbugs,
] grant, came among the delegates. But we
should not suppress roses because green flies
feed upon them, or garden vegetables because
they are nurseries for caterpillars
What triumphs ever nobler or moro
hear-stirrng than those Of the President and
his wife in the course Of this season? ROYALTY
had 10 come round 10 him. They had the Prince
Of Wales though not his wife and daughters
and the Shah, and il is now certain that they
are TO have the Czarewtch, who will come to
forward closer entente between the Repub-
lie and his own autocratic father. The French
railway companies found it would be to their adj
vantage to run cheap excursion trains from all
parts Of the country the capital, TO which they
conveyed on tours of short duration upward of
100000 provncias. These sightSccrs were
lifted out of the habtual smalneas Of their
lives by the maryels Of industry and art gathered
IN the Champs dc Mars. Misery peasants could
not resist the temptation to mount the Elhel Tower
which, by-the-by, has already paid its cost
Psris had been made nightly, in the five months
mat preceded the elections, radiant with the
