| Bohemians.
| All good Austrians are living in the
hope that the struggle will h1ve ended
in time to permit the aged emperor to
, be crowned king of Bohemia, con-
| cesSion he is anxious TO make to the
nationalist feeling of that country.
| Following this will be bis cOron alton
as king of Galicia the Austrian Polsnd.
| How earnest and how enthusiastic the
POLES are about the matter are shown
by the steps which they are taking to
celebrate In a fitting manner the gold
| en- Jubilee of the emperor by restoring
to is pristine spiendor the ancient
royal palace of the kiog s of Poland, on
the Wavel Bill, at Cracow, with the
object OF presenting it to his majesty
as a s;dence.
When The emperor was last at Cra-
COW he was Mortified to see the state of
6ilapidation into which it had been al
lowed TO fall, and expressed hope
that the imposing pile 50 rep'ete with
historical associations should be
rescued from decay This desire on
the part of his majesty was taken to
heart, some So, 100000 has been raised
among the Polish nobility in the
neighborhood, and the result is that
wonde rs have been accomplished.
Under the circumstances, the Poles
x i'll naturally expect that in return
Emperor Francis Joseph will permit
himself 10 be crowned in the ancient
cathedral adjoining the castle a, king
Of Poland. 1t is in this venerable fame,
by the way, that repo the remains of
that nat ionai hero, Kosciusko, the
Polish friend, and comrade-in-arms OF
Washington, to whom the Uuited
States has erected a monument on the
banks Of the Hudson, at West Point.
While the opposition TO these corona
tiOns is intense, it will undoubtedly
disappear when he natl 1nal spirit re
covers under the stimulus of com
promise. There was the same bitter
outbi e TX when the emperor caused
himself to be crown ID king of Hungary
il 1867. While tt ere is no doubt that
the bonds between Austria proper and
Hungary have been reduced almoSs to
the va FISHING poiut,it is certain that the
loyalty of the Megvars towards the re-
igning house is infinite y gre ater today
that in the time, forty years ago before
Hungary had an Independent constitu-
tiCn of its own and occupied towards
Austria the position that Ireland does
towerds Enc gland.
1t will PROBABLY be the same with Bo-
hernia. Instead Of regarding the Aus
trians as their oppressors and their
tyrauts. the Czecbs will accord the
same elthus iastic al'eriance aud loyal
W 10 FRANCIS joseph as UGelr King as
do the Hungarians, and udirectly the
entire monarchy will be strengthened
thereby.
90 the other hand, it cannot fail to
contrib tie to the transfer nation of the
empire into a number of autonomous
ard Independent states, each with its
independent army and civil admin ira |
tions, and united orly by diusstic ties
that is, in having. one and the same
monarch for all 1t is idle to imagine |
that the Bohemiaus will be satisfied !
18th the corona tioD of the emperor at |
Prague unless they get constitution !
Of Their OVID, and are placed on identi- |
cally the same footing as the Hunga- |
ria1S.
And then the next to demand con-
and an auto omus governmet |
of their own, as we'll as separate royal |
court. are the Poles Of Gaicie, who |
have, on several public occas ons, |
already hailed Francis Joseph as king |
of Poland, greatly to the disgust and !
