FRANKLIN AT PARIS.

Philadelphians intend to present the
French republic with a statue of Ben
jamin Franklin, TO be erected in Paris
next year for the great exposition and
retained as a permanent token of
friendship.
No more appropriate gift could be Sc
lected. 1t should not be given by the
people Of one city to those of another,
but should be offered by this republic
to that Of France. The wise old diplo-
mat and statesman who performed such
a difficult mission with such delicate
tact and excellent judgment. went to
the people and the government of
France as the representative of the
people and the cause of the American
colonies.
France sent to New York harbor
Bartholdi's great statue representing
liberty and light as abstract ideas. Let
US send to France the sculptured figure
of one of our earliest. most original and
practical statesmen. who stood for lib
erty and enlightenment, whose record
shines and whose achievements and
fame illustrate the heights TO which
genius and industry may attain in this
land Of liberty.
Il is a lesson every American school
boy learns. The youth of France
should study it.

AN UNAVOIDABLE DELAY.

The New York Times, Democratic I'M
til the campaign of 1896, when it gave
its support and services to the election
Of d Republican administration, recent
iy demanded TO know why the party in
power had failed to keep its pledges
fixing the present gold standard and
providing for its firm and steadfast
maintenance" Had this been done,
says the Times, the question would not
now be paramount, and the country
would be saved the burden. of carrying
on another presidential campaign to
determine it,"
But there were excellent reasons for
not undertaking the currency reform
proposed by the bankers trust, during
the last congress. Mark Hanna has
explained and the president has reiter-
ated time and again that while the
gold standard is in full force and effect,
as it has been for twenty five years, it
could not be legaliZed until the senate,
as well as the house and the executive,
had passed into the control of the gold
bugs. The New York Mail and Express
becomes indignant at the Times and
explains that lit is a notorious fact
that no legislative declaration for the
gold standard could have got through
the senate as this body was constituted
from the hour Mckinley took office I'M
til the death Of the F'ifty-ffth con-
gress."
The Mail and Express says that the
president and the party leaders We're
only waiting for the opportunity they
VIII have next winter. 1t concludes by
saying: 1t is a proposition born OF
reason thar to have invited party dis
sension IN the lower house upon such a
measure when this was doomed to de-
feat in the upper house, instead of
waiting for a gold standard senate and
house which were practically assured,
would have been political folly and a
direct encouragement to the free silver
forces, which the Times, and other pa
pers of the same class. are anxious to
see again and finally crushed
1t will not do to give encouragement
to the free silver forces. 1t is better. in
the opinion of the Mail and Express
and other single standard papers, to
convince silver men. if possible, that
1t is useless TO make another stand for
silver in this country until conditions
change" If they can be thus disarmed
the chances of the gold forces will be
greatly improved.

While this shows an increasing bal

with 167, GO0, 600 francs worth of ex-
ports Switzerland's trade is ten times
more valuable than that of Russia, and
France sends twice as much TO some of
the South American republics as she
sells to Russia.
1t is very evident from this showing
that the Franco-Russian alliance,
about which all the world was for
time perturbed. is as worthless to
France in a commercial way a it
has been in military way. Another
important revelation of these statistics
is the mutual interests that exist be-
tween France and England rendering
a war between these two powers almost
impossible and certainly improbable,
whatever may be the hatreds and the
long cherished animosities of the
masses.

churches were desecrated and valuable

which we most bemoan is that of the
valuable literature of the time a loss
that can never be repaired. But even
in this riot the pride of the Venetians
detected, for almost the only works of
art that were rescued from the fury of
the soldiers were those which still adorn
her squares and churches. The ma

tians is illustrated in Doge Dandolo's

The inquisition was introduced into
Venice toward the middle of the thir-
teenth century, but it never gained
much foothold. The Venetian govern
ment was too jealous of Romes power,
and its restrictions on the holy Office
were never satisfactory to the pope.
In 1910 another change in the gov
eminent took place-the great council
was closed and the dreaded council of
ten was instituted. This new council
ruled Venice with a rod of iron; its
members were chosen from the noblest
and most respected citizens of the re-
public. and each held office one year.

1T IS nonsense to talk Of silver Re

saws the Post-Intelligencer. "One
might as well undertake to describe
himself as Christian atheist. A Re
publican is opposed to silver, a Demo-
crat TO the gold standard"
Then it proceeds to explain why it is
necessary to subscribe to the creed OF

not justly be compared with other
Italian cities.
Most of the Venetian artists directed
their talents to the adornment of their
native city. All public buildings in
Venice are of wonderful beauty, and
even the stores and smaller dwellings
are not without certain artistic
stamp. The ducal palace, St Mark $
cathedral and the many other churches
and monasteries of this city are
adorned with rare paintings and sculp-
lures, and one must go to Venice TO
study the works of such architects as
Sansavino and the Lombardi, of such
sculptors as AlessandFo Vittoria and
Alessandro Leopard, of such painters
as Titan, Tintoretto and Neronese.
This list may be small, bur it is surely
not lacking in quality. The republic
eXcelled in such manufactures as are
closely related to the arts. Venetian
lace and glass were known throughout
Europe and brought high prices. Men
ton should also be made of the We
netian mosaics, especially of those
made .of colored glass and which show
such beautiful designs.
In literature and learning. with the
exception of the comic poet, Carlo Col

usual celebrity, but she retrieves her
self in the domain of printing. for 70

those coming from the presses of Aldo
Manuzio, John of Spires and Nicolas
Jensen.

THE RIALTo BRIDGE.

the story of Venice as republic is
ended.
The history of the city of Venice in
our century can be briefly told. In 1906
Venice was returned to Napoleon, but
when the latter's power began to wane,
Austria reasserted her claims, and in
1913 Venice was made part of the Lom-
bard-Veneto kingdom, ruled by an Aus
trian prince. This sovereign's yoke
rested heavily on the shoulders of the
Venetians. mutterings were heard, and
finally in 1S4S the citizens rose to arms.
The prison where a certain Daniel
Manin had been incarcerated by the
Austrians was attacked. Manin was
liberated and proclaimed president of
the republic of Venice, but a revolution
was avoided by the Austrians agreeing
to vacate the city.
The Austrians soon. returned. how
ever, to Italy, and their army was
everywhere victorious. Venice fought
bravely for her independence. The old
time courage seemed to return to her
citizens, but after a. bombardment of
twenty-four hours the city was forced
to yield, and in 1S49 the Austrian gen.
eral took possession of the town.
Venice remained in the Austrian
power for some seventeen years. In
1859 and 1860 the war of independence
ragged throughout Italy, out nDerty was
not yet to be the reward of these en-
beavers. About six years afterward
Italy, having formed an alliance with
Prussia, rose against the Austrians.
The italian army was not successful,
but the victories of the Prussians in
1866 brought this war to a close. Venice.

1866, Vittorio Emanuele. the new Ital-
ian king, visiting Venice for the first
time, was welcomed with much cere-
mony and rejoicing. Thus a new leaf
is turned in the history of Venice.
Whether her future as part of the Ital-
ian kingdom is to be as brilliant and
as varied as her past remains for COM

ture historians to say.

is not deserved. 1t ruled as a tyrant,

During the fourteenth century the
trade of Venice with foreign countries
increased considerably. Venetian
merchants no longer dealt with the east

England. Advantageous treaties were

fury Venice engaged in policy which
was not to prove to her best interests.
For nine centuries the republic of Ven
ice had consisted simply of the city of
Venice and of the few other islands in
the lagoons. AS the result of events
which need not here be discussed Ven
ice departed from her policy of ruling
only over these protected islands. and,
entering into a league with Florence,
she captured Padua, and thus became
the owner of territory on the mainland.
This change of policy drew her into
italian politics. turned her thoughts
somewhat from her ambition to be SUI
preme on the sea. which was her legiti-
mate domain, and. in consequence, in
troduced elements into her government
which were not to work for the best
good of the republic.
The year 134s was that of the famous
plague in Italy. and Venice had her
share of deaths. Some historians claim
that three-fifths of her citizens persisted
and that the graveyards were so packed
that the bodies could barely be covered
with earth.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centu-
ries Venice reached her greatest height
of wealth and prestige. Venetian yes
sells were seen on all waters. and this
commerce brought untold wealth. not

only to the government. but also 10 pri-
vate families. This commercial actlVl-
ty was, however, to prove gradually the
ruin of Venice. Her treasury was Sc
riously taxed by the necessity of pro-
tecting her ships in distant parts, and
numerous rivals arose, all eager to
share in her prosperity. One of the
severest blows to her commerce was the
discovery by the Portuguese. In the fif-
tenth century, of the passage round
the Cape of Good Hope. This discov-
cry opened to all nations a cheap way
to India's marts, and the monopoly of
eastern goods enjoyed by Venice came
by degrees to be thing of the past.

heights of prosperity, having explained
the causes that led to this prosperity,
and having limited at the causes that
were TO undermine this wonderful COM
