Recent events have demonstrated the
fact that the Third partv movement in
the southern states has been largely ex-
aggerated. In Tennessee, Georgia, Caro-
lima and other states the leaders
of the Alliance have made de-
mands which were not complied with
by the Democracy, but they still decline
10 engage in the new movement for fear
it may endanger the chances of the
Democratic party. In Tennessee it looks
as if Governor Buchanan. the Alliance
txecutive, would he denied a second
term, yet the Alliance leaders decline 10
engage in bolt. and will support the
regular ticket. When such conditions
exist it is not difficult to believe that
with very few exceptions the voters will
return to tie old parties al! over tie
country, and tla; the presidential cam
paign of 1892 will be fought on praciic-
ally the same lines as thai II 1855.

The talk of the colored people of Bos-
ton about the use of dynamite in the
south to avenge the deaths of victims of
lynch law of their race, is worse than
Idle, and if it has any effect down there
it Will be to aggravate the situation.
Such course would be to do equally as
barbarous thing as that that is meant
to be avenged. There is nothing to COM
pei the negroes 10 the south to remain
there, and if they were aided and en-
couraged to leave there it would be in
finitely severer punishment than the
killing of a score or two of possibly inno-
cent people without in the least modify
ing the wrongs complained of. The
question is a serious one. any way you
take it. And good deal may be said
on both sides of 1t.

The Kansas City Gazette names Col.
onel Milton Stewart of this city as the
proper person to succeed the late John
A. Anderson as consul to Cairo, Egypt.
The Gazett backs up the suggestion with
the timely and accurate statement that
che is in every way competent, deserv-
ing, and has travelled through that
country and is thus familiar with the
place and the duties of the position.
The president could not find worthier
or more efficient man to represent the
government in that important and
responsible station.

NApoLEoN's TRUE CHARACTER
To the Editor of she Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
note you approvingly quote an al
legged remark of Senator ingalls, that
Americans regret Waterloo" Without
the full context OF the remarks that
accompanied it eae cannot form an opin-
ion as to the idea intended to be con-
veyed. II il is meant that Americans
UNITED Statesl desired that England
should have been Inundated by that
battle, not that the France of Napoleon
should triumph, not that Americans
loved that France, but had just cause to
hate England, our people generally ap-
prove the sentiment. but in broader
sense some Americans do not agree with
the sentiment.
Abbott's Napoleon has thrown around
the life OF the Corcisan a glamour that is
misleading and disgusting. Cicero de-
sired his biographer to lie a little for
posterity's sake. Abbott has acted on
the suggestion.
The genius that presided over us when
we became republic was liberty; the
France OF the Corsican was despotism.
An American from whom / quote, not a
friend to England, concludes paper on
the Corsican, viz;
HE deprived legislative assemblies of
representative character; aggravated the
traditional bias of the French war; cor
rupted its morality by plumber; perverted
education to serve the cause of tyranny;
converted religion into an engine of des
potism; prosecuted, banished and 81
fenced genius; nIuzz!ed the press at
home and controlled it abroadj broke
faith with every power when he dared;
divorced his wife in the vain hope of
perpetuating his dynasty; turned Europe
into camp, caused it to retrace its steps
to the darker ages when force was right,
and the sword vas law, and established
a monarch more absolute than that of
Louis XIV"
Though the result of Waterloo was the
triumph Of brutal and selfish limited
monarchy over France, yet it was the
overthrow Of an evil genius who would
have made the world one despotism,
whose seat of power would have been
Paris; who would have placed on the
thrones of the world and at the capitals
of nations relations by blood marriage,
subalterns and favorites to administer
his will, as be said to the king Of Hol-
land:
Remember your first duty is to ME,
your second to France, all other
duties, even toward those whom
have called you to govern, are to be
subordinated to me and France"
Though am an American,w who would
rejoice at the establishment of republic
in England and the destruction of the
ancient mummcry, titles and estates! l
cannot but think that Waterloo was
right when the reverse would have been
to place in power throughout Europe,
perhaps in America, liar, lbertine,
cheat and murderer, and one who would
have revived and modernized the
maxims of the ancient despots, given
full rein to the only doctrine he believed,
THAT government could be established,
maintained and perpetuated by the
sword" Xxx.

The strides that England is making
towards republicanism, in the favoring
the truly republican, American ideas on
the tariff and use of both gold and silver
on a parity as money metals, is no less
a gratifying than surprising manifesto
ton. Though the youngest of nations
the United States is today exerting a
stronger influence upon the world as to
governmental policies of administration
than any other country.

A STATUE 20 GENERAL SHERMAN.

1t Is proposed to erect the grandest and
most beautiful statue to tile memory OF
General w. Z. Sherman ever vet erected
in the United States which is to be placed
in Washington. The society of the
Army Of Tennessee at its meeting last

who was made chairman of a committee
of five, has now, in connection with his
committee, the whole matter in charge.
1t is expected that the government of
the Uuited States will contribute
$780, 600 or $4,000 10 the total
sum of S150,000 desired. The appeal is
to the Army of the Tennessee, Potomac
and Cumberland and also to the Grand
Army Of the Republic and to the Loyal
Legion, then to the citizens of the differ
ent states through the state committees
respectively. The treasurer of the fund
is Col. J. T. Howe, Commercial building,

The cooperation idea does not bulge
out like it did in Kansas a few weeks
ago, at least on the Democratic side. And,
come to think over the situation, it is
not surprising. The average Democrat
is an aspirant for official preferment,
elective OF appointive, and as federal APP
pointments are in the main more desir-
able than any likely to come to them in
the deal with the Alliance, both of
which are mixed with doubt, the Demo-
cratic managers have about made up
their minds to take their chances with
the federal offices, to secure which they
must keep straight on the party record.
hence will strive to keep in the middle
of the road. Just now the Alliance is
showing more concern for fusion than

The insanity dodge does not work so
smoothly in Australia as in this country
Deeming's lawyers made great show
ing of epilepsy and diseases of the brain,
but the court evidently took the sensible
view that insanity with so destructive a
tendency as Deeming's was durable only
by death, and accordingly ordered that
he be hanged yesterday, and tbs order
was executed in the execution of the
culprit as ordered.
