Take another and very familiar instance:
 After long years of the degrada- ton of the kingly prerogative, when those who spun were made to sing in ashes and sack cloth to those who spent, the French revolution was OF. The miserable protestants were designated by various names. They were sans-culottes, they were Jaco- bins, they were of the Mountaln, they were Girondists. All desigpa- tions were eontemptitfe in the ears of nampered royalty, and yet royalty met the axe under the dominion of radicalism, and the latter, the forces of revolution, triumphed through seas of blood, innocent or not; and through the dynasty of Bonaparte has achieved for the French nation standing and a prestige which it never before equaled in history
 When the American colonies re- oelled and declared for liberty it was radicalisrl against the con- :. e.'vatism ,.s F.uy ar' Join. Ilan- cock, as the inscription upon his statue in the national capitol has it, wrote his name where all nations could behold it and none would dare efface it" was an ultra-radical, it was radicalism against the "con- servatism" of the mother country under the domination of Lord North.
 Of recent days, in the immediate present, we have the recital of Rus sia's woes.
 As against the oligarchy of the archdukes we have seen arrayed the radicalism of the people, under the constitutional designation of the dOuma. Those who support the czar are the conservatives, those who, from out their hearts, call for liberty, are radicals. The latter have been dissolved. Let it be hoped that when next they arise, it will be in the presence of throne which not only knows it's own dan ger, but respects the demands of souls which long and hearts which, in the right, fain would perish for liberty.
 Thus, all down the line of his- tory, radicalism has been triumphant over conservatism. When William Tell shot the apple off the head of his son, there was radicalism rampant, and if the mythological history of the era be true, though he and his son may have been vic- tims, Switzerland still lives and thrives and in her glory and her traditions is all the better that the conservative" tyrant Gessler lived to make her the popular and instruc- tive topic of song and of story.
 The tendency of this and of all ages is toward an honest and an equitable denouement. What man wishes, man will gain. Man is the one force on this earth which dom- mates all other forces. The spirit of individual liberty, of equal and exact standing, man to man, is the dominating influence of all govern ments
 Turn the world loose. Let it run rampant, and the individual will, at the finish, be there to protect himself. After the feud ends. when all is we'll and the final accounting of the ledger columns is taken, it will be found that, after all, this world is a fair and an honest one. Tn the millennium of our own moral creation, man will meet man on equal terms. There will be no arin- inals or recrimination. Every one
 will stand unto himself a picture and a model of perfect and absolute
 rectitude. Every man will be law
 unto himself, not for usurpation or for wrong, but for right. for the eternal right.
 W hen the planets cease to revolve and the morning stars no longer sing in unison, when the clouds gather and the storms segregate, and there is every evidence of the dawn of that eternal day wherein mankind
 shall be forever judged, then, a
 forever in the past, will conserva
 tism be relegated to the oblivion
 of forgotten things and honest radi
 calism, representing as ever true
 progress, will prevail.
