that. body to discover what it should
ton that in referring to our relations
with China the message would say
something about our policy and our
mutual interest with England, but such
an expectation is disappointed. In
deed, it appears that there is not any
thing in our foreign relations that is
interesting enough to make anybody
care for the comments on them.
About the only thing of general inter-
est about which there is a suggestion
for legislative action-except in rela-
ton to District matters-is an extract
from the message of last year, in which
is urged the gradual retirement of the
greenbacks There is a direct state
ment that "other currency legislation"
is required. but what it is the member
of Congress may guess for himself. The
President approves the ideas of the
Secretary of War. already made pub
lie, about the increase of the regular
army. TIE proceedings in the case of
the Pacific railroads are described. and
the propositions of the various heads
of department. including that of a
greater navy, are approved.
Then come two matters of particu-
lar interest to the people of the District.
The President is entirely favorable to
tie scheme for celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the founding
of Washington as the permanent seat
of government. to take place in 1900.
He recommends an appropriation. the
appointment of a committee from each
House and authority for the President
to appoint committee from the coun-
try at large to plan the event He also
urges the construction Of a new build
ing for the Department of Justice on
the present site.
Ii is not often that President has
such an opportunity as was presented
to Mr.. Mckinley. Yet his failure is
complete.

can have lasted so long. We have
placed, side by side, an army and a
democracy Now, ii is only too true
that these two institutions have as their
foundation contradictory principles. II
you weaken the army you imperil ma
tional independence; if you maintain its
traditions and its rights, civil society
takes fright on behalf of liberty" etc.
He does not touch on the real cause of
trouble. That was not to be expected,
even from so over-frank a statesman.
This is, that the people love the army
better than they love free institutions
One reason for this is that the public
men of France have kept alive and
glowing the fires of hatred of Germany.
Instead of allowing the people to forget
their humiliation and the loss of Alsace
and Lorraine, the politicians have held
out the hope of revenge until it has be-
come the supreme thought of France.
Ii is on the army that the people rely
for their deferred revenge. and they are
willing TO submit to its usurpations
even to the extinction of civil institu-
tionS.
If Colonel Picquart were not himself
soldier, even the proof of his innocence
could win for him no popular favor
against the hatred of the military staff.
Better that an innocent man, if civil
ian, should suffer, than that the honor
of the army should be successfully as
sailed The people are willing to over
look any degree of moral turpitude and
oppression on the part of the military
and ready to submit to the overthrow
of the republic, rather than impair the
strength of army organization. The
incompatability of army and democra-
cy TO which Premier Dupuy refers
would be poworless to curtail the liber-
ties of the people if the latter were
jealous of their liberties. 1t needs only
man with the qualities of a leader,
soldier like the great Napoleon, or even
a military demagogue with an appear
ance of force, to effect a coup that
would end in dictatorship under
general hurrah of the people. He need
only promise to whip Germany and win
back the lost provinces. II is manifest
that there never was an intelligent un-
derstanding of or love for the prlnci-
pies of republicanism on the part Of the
masses of the French people
