PRINCE VICTOR NAPOLEON.
Believes in His rights" and Willing
to Continue Napoleon MS Foley.

Believes in His Rights" and Willing
to Continue Napoleon HIS Foley.
From the London Daily Times
Col. Villot, Victorian, has timed the
publication of a work entitled the EN-
peror of Tomorrow" to coincide with the
departure from Paris for England of the
Empress Eugene and Prince Louis. The
coming emperor is, of course, Prince Vic
tor. The book is rhetorical, and, indeed,
abounds in fustiau, with here and there a
word picture which is q relief to any one
who has tried to wade through the food
of verbiage. Col Villot gives the fol-
lowing pen and ink picture of Prince Vic
tor:
Prince Victor will be 90 years old on July
18 He has the stature of his father, Prince
Napoleon and he is superb handsome. His
head is imposing; Roman strength and
French intellect are expressed in his counte-
nance. The contours are full and ample
toward the skull. but softened down in the
lower part of the face. He is Enthusiastically
the great nephew of the great Napoleon.
The eye is kindly, but Of a grave and firm
expression. His mein is also quiet
and grave, and his gate is slow and
indicative of thoughtfulness. He rarely
gesticulates and when he does SO 1T Is
soberly. The neck is short and powerful
and the shoulders broad. His voice Is clear
but he speaks little. On the other hand, he
meditates good deal, keeps his head cool,
seldom contradicts any one, but is never
theless of al unbending will. He Is always
studying socialist questions. Their intri-
cacy does not brighten him. He is a great
believer in provincial particularism, and
thinks that the provincial towns have been
unjustly treated since the revolution.
Prince Victor hates political rhetors, but
admits them to his councils and puts up
with being contradicted by them, listens to
all they have to say, taking care not to let
any of them know his mind. He favors
the rights of the state as against the
pretensions of the church, but is other
wise a bro3d-minded, liberal and devout
CathO ic Prince Victor has had democratic
Instructions and knows tha5 the French
democracy cannot do without order, and
must be iii obedience to the head of the
state. He is deeply humane, and thinks
that enlightened kindness is the best possl-
bic principle for the sovereign to act on.
lie is firm believer in his rights, willing
to discharge all his duties. and to continue
the national policy Of Napoleon III. and the
Prince Imperial.

property owners. All is paid by the loan
companies, which hold sheriff's deeds to
nearly all the land. ANY one can get loan
companies land to farm for the nominal an
nual rental Of 81 per quarter section. but no
one wants it, and it is now occupied by jack
rabbits. prairie dogs, coyotes and owls.
The entire country gives evidence that the
men who settled on it originally did so for
the purpose of fattening upon its credit, and
not with the intention Of developing it into
a prosperous agricultural region. They have
succeeded in mortgaging every acre of land.
saddling the county, municipal, township
and school district organizations with debts
which they can never pay, and deserted the
country. Only few remain to live of of
the taxes paid by the money lenders.
The farmers alliance there finds the bulk
of its statistics TO show that the farmers of
Kansas are icing turned out OF their homes
daily by the hundreds TO satisfy the greed
of relentless shylocks, but the facts are that
few people ever settled there with the in
tention of remaining minute after they
got possession OF the loan companies
money, and those who did soon had their
dreams of productive farms shattered and
moved away.
