St. Paul daily globe., 1895-09-16

there is of radicalism In the DEM
ocratic spirit there. The disendow-
ment and disestablishment of the
church by the state seem in accord
with modern progress, but form the
text of the robbery of God Every
pulpit in the Church of England thun-
dered against the Liberal government,
and thousands who never went to
CHURCH and scoffed at religion rallied
to- the support of the time-honored es-
Enlistment. Any measure can pass
the house of lords when the Tories
are in; power and none when the Lib
erals have the government so long as
the hereditary majority exists, and
yet, Lord Salisbury distinctly chal-
lenged the cry for ending or mending
the lords by filling his cabinet with
peers. two weeks before election to
trtumphantly show that all classes of
ENGLISHMEN LOVE A LORD
and are overwhelmingly in favor of
this middle-age anomaly representa-
tive government.
"A large proportion of the majority
elected to the house of commons are
heirs ito peers or connected with the
families of the nobility. The excite
ment in South Africa's gold mines
equals the widest speculation in Col
orado or California booming times.
Both London and Paris are crazy.
One of the best-informed bankers in
Europe told me that 100 men had pock-
eted in cold cash within the past year
S5O0 ,00O,0 600 by the sale of the stocks or
shares of these companies. The mon
ey has come from the confiding Brit
lSh public and the usually cautious
French; $40,00O,0O0 of it was won by a
man who entered the cape as a Jug
gler in a circus and is now climbing
rapidly the social ladder. The stocks
are constantly rising in price and of
course capitalization, and at no dis
tant day the bubble will burst, scat
tering ruin more widely than has been
experienced for generation.
The singular political event in
France has been the sudden disap-
pearance of the Royalist and Imperial
1st parties. A royalist gave me this
version. He said that the fear of So
cialism had made his people oppor-
tunists, which is another name for
conservative republicans, and by COM
mon consent they have voted that
ticket. He also said that Mr.. Faure
was the most popular and the strong
est president since the formation of
the republic. He has more courage
ously and ably fought the socialists
than any public man ever dared to
do and in the late election almost
annihilated them.
81 WAS IN GERMANY
he tx1,a
victory Of Sedan. The celebration re-
minded me of the rejoicing with us
after the surrender of Appomattox.
Palaces and cottages, stores and
houses were alike covered with flags,
and the bunting obscured the sky.
PROFESSIONS, music, illuminations and
every form of popular joy were uni
versal The enthusiasm was wild and
contagious. 1t developed deep-seat-
ed, national and almost passionate
desire for war with France now, and
on, any pretext, to settle forever the
possession Of Alsace-Lorraine, and to
so cripple the French that they would
no longer be menace to the peace
of Germany and her military estab-
Hshments might be reduced. The gem
eral verdict on the international rail-
way congress was that our represent
atives were most Hospitality enter
tanned by their English brethren but
learned nothing in Europe which
would be useful in America"
Mr.. Depew told an interesting story
of a young girl he saw at Lourdes,
who had not been able to walk for
SIX years on account of knee that
was a mass of running sores. She
was dipped in the spring and the sores
completely healed and was able to
walk. Her condition before the mir
acie was attested to by a physician
who dressed the knee and by a med
icaI student.
He said in conclusion:
The general cheerfulness and gaiety
OF nations made this trip one of the
most agreeable ones of my life Both
IN england and on the continent
there was a
GENERAL PROSPERITY
and abundance unknown for years.
Not only are the crops good, but the
world has adjusted itself more rap
idly than for a decade to the reyolu-
tlons OF inventions and discovery, and
the instantaneous intercommunion of
olStant markets. All classes of people
are sharing in the better times and
more hopeful of the future. Many Of
the sovereigns and chiefs of state
who formerly were politely inquis-
tive or Indifferent about American af-
fairs were eager in their desire for in
formation about our stocks and bonds.
The success of the syndicate in pIac-
ing the last issue of our government
ponds has put into many a royal
treasury a miscellaneous collection
