IN TROUBLED FRANCE.

This country will be slow to believe
that affairs in France are ripening for
a revolution. It must be that the re-
public will be peacefully maintained;
when il was weaker than ii is to-day
IL withstood severer tests than those
that are threatened. Still, the second
empire. set up by Napoleon the Third
had it's start in a spirit of unrest for
which the causes were not more sub
stantial than those which are operating
at this moment in the city of Paris.
Next Saturday marks an anniversary
which is rather significant in the analrs
of France in their present confused con-
dition. On February %. 1s4S, occurred
the outbreak which ended with the
overthrow of the monarchy ana the
downfall of the house of Orleans. Be
fore the revolution had fairly warmed

wears. The second empire was born
with Napoleon the Thirds coup detat'
in 1852: il ended in 1870. Thereupon the
third republic was proclaimed, and un-

prosperous. The republic has survived
its first quarter century; let the ardent
hone of the American people be that no

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1896.
CAMPAIGNING IN SONG.

Governor Morton is working the cam
paign banquet with eminent success.
A few evenings ago he had gathered at
a table in Albany the leading luminar-
les of New York republicanism. and be-
fore the feast was finished the unani-
nous opinion was that Morton is the
right stuff for the white house.
Mr.. Plat has also been turning the
banquet board to account. On Lin
coins birthday he had two invitations
TO dine out. One of these came from
the Lincoln club-its banquet was serv-
ed at Delmonico's. The second invita-
ton came from the East Side republi-
cans; these are the rough and ready
men, the bosses of the gang" the
members of the Progress club.
Mr.. Plat elected to give the aristo-
Gratis the go by and celebrate Lincoln
day with the East Siders. He made a
ten strike; he did very unusual thing.
and what he did was conspicuously re-
ported next day in the New York news
papers. 1t was past midnight. Address
ing the guests at the banquet in famil-
lar talk Mr.. Platt, who once was a
choir leader in an Otsego-county
church, made Jocular reference to his
singing of a song on u certain occa-
sion. Thereupon somebody called upon
him for a song One account of what
followed says: 1T seemed for a mo-
ment as though that was an awkward
request; to have granted it by singing

own and their respect; to refuse il
might have been equally unfortunate.
Mr.. Plat swept that company before
him with his eyes for a moment, and
then, with a manner half diffident, half
confident, he chose one of the stanzas
of Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn OF
the Republic the one beginning with
the line In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea. The
stanzas end with a refrain which was
the battle chorus of the Union armies
GLORY, Glory, Hallelujah" Every
man in that company took up the re-
frain. 1t was not done in a trifiing
humorous or hooking spirit. Mr.. Plat,
had sung the impressive stanzas as
though the words came from the heart
and It was one OF the most impressive
sights ever witnessed in a public gath.
ering in New York city"
The fame of this incident spread e
all the East Side. 1t was admitted
that those who were present at the
banquet enjoyed Mr.. Platt's presence
his talk and his singing. Said one Eas'
Slider: PLAT. he's daisy; he can hav,
