desired that in any manner that could be

vote directly for what they wanted, without
the interpositon of parliament and paria

They should vote for what they wanted

system like peasant proprietorship, or policy
like La Revanche." They should vote for
what they wanted, whether it were the crown

|TTHE comments in the most respectable
English newspapers on the death of
Paul Deroulede, the poet of the soldiers
and the soldier of the poets, exhibit queer
and interesting case of the particular way in
which modern England manages TO misunder-
stand Europe.
England is a great nstion-Christian. and
therefore free; and England has a perfect
right to say to Europe what Mr. Kipling made
Canada say to the Empire: Daughter am
in my mothers house. but mistress in my
own
But the way In which the daughter mis-.
understands everything that the mother means
must be quite heart-breaking to the old lady

imagine some sentence written by foreigner

Now that description would hardly convey
n true impression to a foreigner II would
hardly appear as true account to an English
man or an lrishman, To them it would
be instantly apparent that the person writing
such a sentence did not know what the quar-
rel was about, 1t would be apparent to them
that the writer had never heard of the Treaty

never heard OF the Manchester Martyrs lone

which shows that somebody knows nothing

The poet of the soldiers was in no sort OF
sense a Royalist. lie explained again and
again that he would be a Bonapartist if there
were any adequate Bonaparte. AS there was
not, he was a Republican, but he was rather
more like a Red Republican than a Royalist.
