Ben Fra nkIin's Way.

From childhood Franklin was a crit

A people,s President In France.

The new president of France was
elected by presidential congress
which was not even chosen by the peo-
pie for the purpose. but nevertheless
the result was a triumph of the great
est number. France has been a repub-
lie about thirty years. or the lifetime
Of one generation. She passed from a
military monarchy to democracy. and
naturally the transformation has not
swept everything along in its course.
The form of government there is still
on trial and is constantly subject to
assault
NJ. Faliieres was elected by a fair
majority of senators and deputies, who
speak for the nation on the choice of
president once every seven years. To
his side rallied the republicans OF all
shades Of belief and to the support Of
his chief opponent the openly hostile
or Indifferent elements. The military
party in France seeks 10 place the ar
my above the people, and with them
are often ranked the clerical party,
which stands Tor church influence IL

A Second Dutch Republic.

Talk at this time about a radical
change In the form Of government in
Holland on the death of the reigning
queen may be mere speculation, but
there is more ground for predicting a
republic there than i'll the case of most
monarchies. The Norwegians are dem
ocrats by nature, yet voted for a king.
1t was once believed that the death of
Queen Victoria would result in revo.
luton, but England is more devoted to
monarchy today than she was twenty
years ago.
The situation in Holland is compli-
Gated because there is no direct heir,
and the crown would go to some Ger
man princeling, the beginning Of a
sort of vassalage to the kaiser for a
people which long ago proved them
selves qualified for self rule, or to some
line of kings not at all related to Hol-
land. The Hollanders won civil and
religious liberty by fighting for it as
freemen should and under monarchial
institutions have been better than their
kings. With the weakest of rulers
Holland has advanced, and if she turns
again to popular government she may
recover her ancient prestige of a world
power.
