it were not for the biennial session Of the

Through Revolt to Power.

There are men now prominent, and
those who have been prominent, in the
governments Of Europe who have pecu-
liar cause to remember the revolution
airy spasm that shook Europe fifty
years ago, and to observe the semi
centennial of that epoch, for such il was
The present prime minister of Spain.
SaEasta, was then one Of the socialists
engaged in the effort to overthrow his
government, and was saved from ex-
ecution only by the influence of power
full friends. In Germany MIGUEL. the
finance minister of the empire. the I'M
relenting foe of the social democracy,
helped to build barbados in the streets
and melted the firing by the revoIu-
tonists upon the military Crispi, in
Italy, was making bombs with which to
eXterminate the nobility, but he lived
to become the prime minister of a
united Italy. Had Andrassy lived eight
years longer, he, too, would now be re-
calling the days when he was under
sentence of death as one of the leaders
of the Hungarian revolt. Escaping. his
estates confscated, he lived to become
the prime minister of the sovereign
against whom he led revolt He. too
as prime minister, was one of the fierc-
est of the opponents of the socialists Of
his day, as MIGUEL now is in Germany
1t does not follow that the road
to promotion and influence lies through
revolt, nor is it strange that the men
who were leaders in revolution should
come to be leaders in the governments
that they sought to overthrow The
ability that made them leaders of re-
volt made them men of power when
stable times succeeded. They simply
did not remain irreconcilables. They
did not accomplish all they expected
but they did modify the abuses against
which they rebelled Onto the middle
ground they went to meet their op-
pCnents, and their abilities made them
influential there. The conservation of
the years has. however, changed their
point of view, and they see now in
those who are demanding further
charges men as dangerous as they
were regarded by those whose inter
ests or conservatism resisted change
fifty years ago. 1t illustrates the whirli-
gig motions of fortune, however, that
the rebels of 1S4S became the admins
traitors Of the governments they tried TO
destroy.
