Frankfort Herr Muller believes In a re-
publican regime for Alsace-Lorraine. The
article is important, first. because the
author Is German: second, because it
throws light upon an obscure subject.
Herr Muller would see an equitable and
just solution of the Alsace-Lorraine prob
lem. Germany would maintain that coun-
try as a durable part of the German
empire. That, too. was the sentiment of
the German nation. France was divided.
Some remain faithful to the idea Of re-
venge. others have abandoned all thought
of war and do not care to recover the
province: others would recover by
direct and pacific arrangement with Ger
many or by the sentence of a tribunal
of international arbitrage; others, social
lists. profess forgetfulness and renounce
the recovery on the ground of being COM
mon ''citizens of the universe"
Herr Muller claims that autonomy &C
corded Alsace-Lorraine would diminish
the influence of the most powerful Of the
confederated states, Prussia, whose king
wears the imperial crown, and who. in
reality. Is the real sovereign Of the an
nexed territories, OF which he names the
statthalter and the funetionaries. This
consideration should not be lost sight of
In examining the subject.
Now, on the side of international rights
and the rights of man Herr Muller indi-
Gates other interests in the question of
Alsace-Lorraine.
Aside from France and Germany, there
Is Europe, whose policy, even whose
peace, since the treaty of Frankfort is
made to depend upon the question of AL
sace-Lorraine. It has become the pole
sequently of the European equilibrium.
Neutrals, they have interests In the So
luton of the Alsace-Lorraine question.
There is the eventuality Of a recourse to
xnn ortS nf INV irtu
of a Franco-German accord. But on this
head Herr Muller is more than skeptic.

public demonstration of the secession
movement:
1.-The people inaugurated the revolu-
ton at II o'clock this morning. Our
citizens are out en- masse. Our lead,
ing importing merchants have erected
q mammoth pole near the Charleston
Hotel, and the hosting of the state
flag on it has been duly celebrated.
The pole was made Of Carolina pine,
100 feet high, and surmounted by the
cap of Liberty. Cables were stretched
across the streets to prevent the pass
crowd, extending over two squares on
Meeting street. The neighboring house
tops were crowded with people. The
flag was then hoisted amid the tremen-
dous cheering of the pOpulace and the
greatest excitement ever known here.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Barker.
Robertson, Canneau, Hammond and
Northrup. The Washington Artillery
paraded and fired 100 guns as the flag
went up. Bells were ruhg and the
band played the .Marseiflaise' hymn.
This fired up the French element Of
our population. After the "Marseillaise"
the band played the 'Miserere,' from
Troyatore,' for the Union. All this oc-
Cured in the full blaze OF the MONDAY
