stated that the influenza had been

a great change is taking place in
the political feeling Of Europe. In
the beginning OF 1855 the republic
OF France scented lettering TO its
fall. Boulangerism was in the as
cendancy, and republicans Of every
shade OF opinion feared the conse-
qsences. Today . is different. Re-
puhlicanism. Is ND longer on the de-
iessiye. only; it yields au influence
iureSeiy rnoharcHy Of Europe. The
recent, revolution in Brazil will
certainly have IN influence on all |
thet Latin nations of Europe. A
popular uprising in favor Of a repub-
li9 beth in. Spain and Portugal,
would be q surprise TO no one. Italy |
also wishes q larger liberty. 1t is
only the feaf OF. Papal supremacy
and tho. need OF n strsng central
gover8menf that prevents her from

wouh SafEfhih, Savoy, tofiibsrdy, !
Venetia, Tuscany and Naples realize
their political dream, while at the
same time they would be confed-
Grated, for mutual protection.

political feeling may be noted the
