tent upon making the military power superior
to the civil power in France; upon establishing,
in brief, n military despotism. To any civil gov
eminent that would acquiesce in that scheme
they were friendly. To any that resisted 1t
they were hostile That is why they were and
are so hostile to NJ LOubet, NJ WaIdeck- Rous
seau and General De Gallffet. 1t is with them
the army first and the Republic afterward. The
Republic is to exist only for the sake of the
army AS soon as 1t seeks TO exercise control
over the army and to make the army its servant
Il is TO be destroyed. That is why the malodor
Boulanger plotted for the destruction of the
Republic. That is why the fanatical poet, Paul
Deroulede, stroye to overthrow the Republic
And that Is why General MERCER now casts in
his lot with the Royalsts and enrolls himself
among the enemies of the Republic
1t is good thing thus to have the attitude of
men clearly defined and all masks removed.
There are probably other men in France, in
high places, whose loyalty to the Republic is
questionable. The Republic would be more
cure if they, too, would declare themselves. 1t
would probably be made evident that those who
hate justice, or are seeking personal gain and
preferment, are opposed to the Republic, which
bars their way while the Republic, despite
whatever faults it has, commands the affection,
the confidence and the loyal allegiance of the
great majority of unselfish patriots and honest
men.

Governor Leary Of Guam calls for a supply of
musical instruments. which he thinks would
have happy and civilizing effect on the island
ers and smooth the path of his administration.
He began by encouraging and promoting mar
rage, and as music is the food of love the in
voice which he solicits seems a reasonable
requisition. The sustenance of conjugaI devo-
ton and the inspirations which lead up to it are
in Governor Learys opinion as important as
more material provision. and if banjos and ac-
cordions really supply 1t he ought to get all he
wants at public charge. even if they have to be
paid for out of some unexpended appropriation.
