PARIS. Jan. 19.-The Comte de Husson-
bile, general representative Of the Comte
de Paris, has form ulated the OrleaniSt pro-
gramme in long lettes 10 the editor Of
Solie He denies the charge that the mon
archists have tried to aggrsvate the Pam
ANA scandal. Nobody could doubt that the
time has come when strong hand and will
are needed for the head of the French
PEOPLE. The monarchists should assume
the leadership aud direction of public opn-
Ion In this emergency. league to sustain
the public integrity and to protect society
should be formed as the Government was
absorbed in the cares OF public defense.
The organization of the monarchist move
ment is complete, and they should now
make all the conservative and liberal alll-
ances possible without distinction. Precise
instructions ould be issued before the be-
ginning of the general elections. and in the
meantime 1t Is necessary to prepare for
conflict and for unforeseen emergencies, as
violent crisis is inevitable. In anticipa-
tion the monarehists are bound by loyalty
to France to organize with all the forces
they could rally and prepare the way for
the Prince of Orleans.
On the other hand. the socialists con-
tinue to make the Panama scandal the
basis for revolutionary agitation. Citizen
Guesde says in an interview that the Pan
anna developments are advancing the hour
of socialstic triumph. The revelations"
he declares. ''as bad as they are, have told
our party nothing new. 1t long has been
known the Opportunist circles were tainted
aud falling TO pieces through decomposition.
The Panama affair Is great scandal. but
all the great banks and industrial enter
prises are in much the same condition, only
the turpitude is hidden more deeply. The
Panama exposure will help enlighten the
country. The small agriculturists, their
eyes opened to the dishonesty of their
Deputies, will recognize that 1t Is only our
party that can promise something appre-
ctabe, while asking nothing in return. In
one sense the occasion has come with con-
venient suddenness. Fear has ripened too
quickly. and events find US in rather an un
prepared condition. The socialist ranks
are not fully equipped Tor the coming elec.
ton. Ii we had personal policy sufficDg
for the present hour; II we had money. like
the oppcrtunists and reactiOnists, we
would be certain to secure majority in the
next Chambe Of Deputies. Unf0rtun ately
we can contest only part Of the electoral
districts; but despite all disadvantages we
shall return forty to sixty members from
the rural districts and retain our hold ON
the towns thus making a respectable
minority, through which, with perfected
organization, we can attain victory within
four years along the whole line. Once at
tainirg power wo shall endeavor to bring
about political economy, the appropriation
Of the capitalistic class, and substituting
the socialist methods OF production, we
shall lay our hands, in the name Of the
State, on thegreat railway companies. the
great Industries and the warehouses.
Under social revolution thus realized, the
asrkors on the railways and in the factories
and stores shall work on State account.
Salaries will im medately be raised and the
hours of labor lessened. We will seize all
of them. The farmers Will W ork on account
of the State, and the rent Of the farms will
be diminished by half. The present pro-
prietors Will be used only as agents to col-
lect the revenues in behalf Of the State.
These changes will not touch the small agri-
culturisis who cultivate and own land"
Guesde and other leaders disavow any
intention of using force TO accomplish these
ends
