learned the identity of their victim, and
retired in CONSERVATION. Thereupon the
grateful Athenians abolished the royal
office, declaring that .thenceforth no
one should bear the same title as their
deliyerer. A new office was created,
filled by a magistrate called archon, or
ruler. First one archon elected for life,
then an archon elected for ten wears,
and finally nine archons. elected annu-
ally for one year, exercised the supreme
authority
But the inhabitants consisted of three
classes-the mobiles, the freemen and the
slaves. All political power was in the
hands of the first class. The freemen
were really as disfranchised as were
the slaves. They were sullen and dis
contented. The strife began which was
eventually to end in the success of the
Athenian democracy. That strife was
no written laws. Draco. one of the
mobiles, was intrusted with the compi-
lation of a code Because of their Sc
verify, the laws he framed were said
to be written in blood, and have be-
come a proverb.
At last Scion appeared. A soldier. a
statesman and a patrios, he was able
to introduce timely legislation. His
measures were marked by wonderful
tact. He strove to disregard the claims
of birth, and to make every citizen an
interested participant in public affairs.
By a curious provision he declared that
any man was dishonored. and should
be disfranchised. who. in time of party
strife, remained Indifferent and did not
act with either side. Up TO that time
in no other state had the attempt been
so efficiently made to identify all in
some degree with the general welfare.
None the less, the extension of the
suffrage gave opportunity for the
schemes of demagogues. The crafty

tensible champion of the lower classes,

Gus age which gave Athens it's immor-
tally. Europe and America 1000 years
afterward are more really its debtors
than were the men then alive.
Nor has national influence been meas
ured by extended territory or teeming
population. The area of Greece, which
seems so large upon the horizon of
imagination, was less than that of
Indiana or Maine. Upon the map of
continental Europe it occupies only an
insignificant spot at the southern ex-
tremity. The province of Attica, Of
which Athens was the capital and heart

navies whitened every sea. never en-
braced within its walls a population
of more than 100000 people. There are
twenty-three cities in the United
States today which boast a larger
number of inhabitants than Athens
ever possessed in its proudest days.
Ever the marvel grows that so small
group of human beings, crowded
within a contracted space, could have
been and have done so much.
Attica is the most eastern of the
twenty petty districts or provinces
which make up ancient Greece. A mar
row triangular peninsula, united at the
north to the mainland, 1t stretches
southeastward into the Aegean sea
Nearly in the middle of this district
is a plain inclosed on three sides by

HISTORIC CITIES OF EUROPE.
I. ATHENS.
BY EDWIN A. GRosvENOR, NJ. A.

BY EDWIN A. GROSVENOR, NJ. A.
The name of Athens is the synonym
of ancient literature and art. No other
city was the birthplace or became the
residence of so many superior men. Nor
was there a department of mental ac-
tivity-histOry, oratory, philosophy,
tragedy, comedy, architecture. sculp-
ture, painting-in which her native or
adopted sons were not the acknowl-
edged masters. 1t was the intellectual
life of Athens which made her re-
nowned. This indeed was but one
among her other glories. but it was
her chief glory. In the eyes of poster
ity this pre-eminence redeems the fol-
lies and crimes of her inconstant popu-
lace, eclipses all her many other claims
to distinction and renders her name i'm
mortal. In her peculiar realm she is
unique and unriValed. In development
of imperial power and law she yields
to Rome; in the creation or molding
of the worlds religions, to Jerusalem;
in the assembling within a definite area
of the cosmopolitan in nature and race,
to ConstantinoDle. But in the domin-
ion of mind she is the acknowledged

potism was enlightened. and. on the
whole, beneficent. He governed mildly,
favored literature and arts, erected nu-
merous splendid public buildings and
greatly enriched and adorned the city
His two sons continued his rule, but
did not enjoy like success. The one
was -assassinated, and the other exiled
four years afterward-
For half century the constitution of
Scion, though not repealed, had not
been enforced. 1t was now revived.
Clisthenes had become the most promi-
nent man in the state and the leader of
the common people, or freemen. Against
him was pitted Isagoras. the chief Of
the aristocratic faction. Henceforth for
centuries the spectacle was to be seen
in Athens of two parties, each following
leader and employing every device to
secure supremacy. ClistheneS won by
still further popularizing the constitu-
ton and by rendering the Athepian
government still more democratic. isa-
goras, singing with defeat, sought the
help of Sparta.
The mutual hostility of Athens and
Sparta was traditional. Sparta belonged
to the Dorian family of Greeks, which
was conservative and aristocratic: Ath-
ems was Ionian and democratic. Either
would gladly seize a pretext to humble
or weaken the other. Sparta accepted
the overtures of Isagoras, but her in
reference only caused her ignominious
defeat. The Athenian democracy was
firmly established. In Athens each free
man was to have part in the honor and
the responsibility of power. The eStab-
lished principle and practice of self
government by the people was the sec
ond cause of Athenian greatness.
