restoring to j ; I"istinc splendor the
ancient roya a ce OF the kings OF
Poland, on the Wavel Hill, at Cracow,
with the object of presenting it to his
majesty as a residence.
When the emperor was last at Cra
COW he was Mortified to see the state
of dilapidation into which it had been
allowed to fall and expressed hope
that the imposing pile so replete with
historical associations should be res
cued from decay. This desire on the
part of his majesty was taken to heart
some SO ,000, 900 has been raised among
the Polish nobility in the neighbor-
hood and the result is that wonders
have been accomplished
Under the circumstances, the Poles
will naturally expect that in return
Emperor Francis Joseph will permit
himself to be crowned in the ancient
cathedral adjoining the castle as king
of Poland. 1t is in this venerable fame,
by the way, that repose the remains OF
that national hero, Kosciusko, the Po-
lish friend and comrade- in-arms of
Washington, TO whom the United
States has erected a monument on the
banks of the Hudson at West Point
While the opposition to these cor0n-
atoms is intense, 1t will undoubtedly
disappear when the national spirit re-
covers under the stimulus of com
promise There was the same bitter
outbreak when the emperor caused
himself to be crowned king of Hun
gary in 1867 While there is no doubt
that the bonds between Austria proper
and Hungary have been reduced al
most to the vanishing point, it is GER
tain that the loyalty Of the Magyars
toward the reigning house is infinitely
greater today than in the time, forty
years ago before Hungary had an in
dependent constitution Of its own and
occupied toward Austria the position
that Ireland does toward England.
II will probably be the same with
Bohemia Instead OF regarding the
Austrians as their oppressors and their
tyrants. the Czechs will accord the
same enthusiastic allegiance and 10y
atty to Francis Joseph as their king
as do the Hungarians and indirectly
the entire monarchy will be strength
ened thereby.
On the other hand it cannot fail TO
contribute TO the transformation OF the
Empire into a number of autonomous
and independent states, each with its
independent army and civil admins
trations. and united only by dynastic
ties, that is, in having one and the
same monarch for all 1t is idle to
imagine that the Bohemians will be
satisfied with the coronation Of the
emperor at Prague unless they get a
constitution of their own, and are
placed on identically the same footing
as the Hungarians.
And then the next TO demand a con-
stitution and an autonomous govern
ment of their own, as well as a sepa-
rate royal court are the Poles Of
Galatia, who have on several public
occasions already hailed Francis
Joseph as king of Poland, greatly TO
the disgust and indignation OF En-
pero- William and OF the car.
