ROSEBERY ON NAPOLEON.

LORD RoSEBERY'S study of Napoleon.
entitled "Napoleon-the Last Phase" comes
from the press of Harper & Bros.
Perhaps the most striking feature in the
work IS the former Prime Minister'S non
partisan. ~fair-minded attitude. He misses
no opportunity to score the British Govern
ment. both collectively and individually. for
their sordtd and ignoble conduct toward
the royal prisoner. and subjects both Ad-
miral Cockbrrn and Sir Hudson Love-. the
Military Governor of st. Helena. to a IRE
of the severest criticism.
In his comment on the various accounts
of the deportation TO st. Helena, Lord Rose
berry says:
Were 1t possible. we would ignore all
this literature. as Il Is peculiarly painful
for an Englisliman to read.
He must regret that his Government ever
undertook the custody OF Napoleon. and he
mus. regret stiil more that the duty should
nave been discharged in a spirit so ignobls
and through agents so unfortunate.
If st. Helena recalls painful memories
10 the French much more poignant are
those that it excites among ourselves"
Lord Rosebery comedies all that Napole-
on's warmest admirers have said Of his
great personal magnetism and capacity for
winning the devotion Of all with whom he
was brought in contact. He quotes In this
connection the well-known saying OF Lord
Keith. who. after meeting the Emperor. ex-
claimed. IF he had obtained an audience
with his Royal Highness uhe Prince Regeno
in half an hour they would have been tho
best friends in England"
After criticising the position taken BY the
Governments on the question of title. c,s-
tody and money supply. Lord Rosebery
makes ii study of Napoleon's curiously and
ineXplicably letharglc attitude after his re-
turn from Eiba. on this point he SAWS:
we Will go SO far as to risk an opinion
that when he returned from Elba he had
realized that his career as a conqueror was
over.
In Elba he had leisure for the first time
since he attained fame to take stock calm |
~ and cc!dly of his situation, and to re- !
meniher his own maxim as to the limited
period of life during which war can be
carried on with success"
One little tale which he recalls ia not !
without value at this time when Rostand's |
drama "LAiglon' has aroused a new in |
terest in the little King of Rome.
Gourgaud presented the Emperor with a
bouquet us II coming from his son,
BAH says Napoleon. the King of
Rome thinks no more of me than he does
OF YOU"
In the chapter on The Supreme Reerets,,
some explanation Is given for Napoleon's
ciiriously let,iars!c attitude before dis
cussed. while In that on Napoleon and the
democracy the idea is brought forward
that authoritative democracy, the idea ~
not the realization of which Is still alive
In france. Is the last legacy, the final !
message of Napoleon.

Few Gold Democrats for Bryan.

New York Times dnd. Dem.):
The Times knows of one en-
inent gold Democrat. recently
Organized, who, In reply to re-
monstrances, said: "Oh. well, he is
not going to be elected, you know. II he
was. 1t would be different" That, we
think. is the typical state OF mind OF
the Organized gold Democrats as
class. +
But their numbers are not large. The
assertion Of the Bryan managers that
they have won the gold Democratic
vote Is an impudent fRisehood. The
gold Democrats who have Il serious
stake In the turn Of the election nrc al
most solldly and without exception
committed to the support Of Mckinley.
The earnest eXhortatIon to spare no cf-
fort to beat Bryan recently put forth by
the national committee OF the national
Democratic party, shows where the or
ganization stands that nominated Pail
mer and Euckncr. In 1896 The anus
ing collapse of the third ticket move
ment Is n further testimony to the
good Judgment. good scrsc. and patri-
otiam OF the gold Democratic voters.

Good News From Indiana.

Indianapolis Correspondent of New
York Press: From the uncompleted
poll OF the state the outlook is for a
Mckinley majority OF $1,000 to 10000.
At none Of the headquarters will they
give these figures out officially. They
do not want to be considered wild, and
prefer to wait for the full returns TO
come in before standing sponsor for the
facts In their possession. The reports
are almost too good to be believed. II
the drift continues to develop and
swell. rs It now seems to be doing. the
Republican majority In Indiana will
be more likely to exceed the figures
named than 10 fall below them. 1t Is n
mistake to say that there has been
change In sentiment In Indiana within
the last few weeks. 1t has been only
recently that there could be an express
sion OF what the real sentiment OF In
diana Is.
