priest who favored the practice of idoia-

~heathenism was revived under kalskaua,
who formed the Halanan society. He also
encouraged the heather dancing and let

The Radical Programme in France.


There is no time when the political stu
alton in France is not a matter of inter
est to the people OF the United States. II
IS especially interesting at the present
time.-as the radical programmes put for
ward by NJ. Bourgeois for his new ministry
lation, Of which we also ave had some
experience. and of which we may expect
further experience.
Among the measures which a radical
ministry proposes are a progressive probate
duty and A general income tax, ito COR
rect the antI-demOCratic inequalities OF the
general fiscal system" II viii also sup
port a proposition for workingmen's PEN
sions, and will undertake, without inter-
fering with the economic regime. TO de-
fend the agricultlrists against certain in
ternat!onal speculaIons. and to regulate
international speculations in gold mines"
All Of these are interesting experiments,
which we should prefer seeing tried on
France or on any othfr nation rather than
ourselves. Their scheme embraces not
merely the ideas OF our income tax friends
and sub-treasury Populists, but also unites
n a harmonious II Homogeneous gathering
the CoilectIvlsts OF England, the Social
Ists and Agrarians OF Germany, and the
autocratic German emperor himself. There
IS not one OF tho Bourgeois propositions
which has not already been put forward
LN some extremist IN pGA4t4c&.
All these measures OF -paternaiism and
desp0asm are so foreign 10 the instincts
OF American r~epuhIicanlsm that we may
Well wonder at their acceptance by the
representatives Of repub!icaulsm in France.
But the French do not understand populat
government as We understand It, and what
seems -incongruOus TO us only seems logletl
and natural 20 them. Our idea Of govern
ment OF the people. by the people, and
for the people IL that the government shan
undertake no function that can be done
by private agency. that the power shan
BE left IN the hands OF the people. The
French .uc4 Is that as long as the govern
mert represents the people instead OF a
dynasty it may retain all power and exer-
Csc all functions Of the most despotic
monarchy. The changes OF government
I'm France since the revolution have been
mere transfers Of authority from one adj
mlnistrat0n 20 another. without any dimin-
ut!on Of the powers OF the government.
The strongly centralized system Of rule es-
tablshed by Napoleon has been adhered TO
as strictly under the republics as under
the mCnarchies. The most sincere repub-
Leans do not think OF changing the sys-
TEN They merely wish TO place Il ia the
hands OF representatives Of the people. for
what they thiak conducive 20 the. general
welfare.

THE REVOLT IN ARABIA.

This Would Ruin the sultan
London. Dec IA letter from Alden.
Arabia. dated November %. gives details
OF the Arabian revolt against the sultan
in Yemen. the coffee-growing district OF
Southwestern Arabia The importance or
the outbreak lies in it's proximity TO
Mecca The loss to the sultan OF the Nus
suiman holy city would probably mean
his deposition. hence the strenuous Official
denials which have been made of the ex-
istence OF the rebellion. So far, the revolt
has been confined to the district around
kharmer, two days journey from Sana,
the capital OF Yemen. The rebels number
5000 Arabs. armed with Martini n Sny-
der rifles. Z led by Sayid. a pretender
to the ~imaumship OF the whole Yemen
country, who wielGs a great influence and
surreptitiously collects tribute or taxes
from ali Arab tribes under Turkish rule.
Six thousand Turkish troops recently ar
rived at Sana from Constantinople and
were distributed among the garrisons in
the Kharmer districts The rebels had
already captured, after some severe fight
ing and great bloodshed. W Turkish
forts at kharmer and Balduba- In the
latter 300 Turks were killed. The garrison
fed to Masmer and begged the twenty-five
sheiks there to help recapture Balduba.
The sheiks refused and were taken 10
Sana and imprisoned. The telegraph is
constantly cut, and Sayid, the pretender,
burns the letters and presents which the
sultan sends.
