FRANCE WILL REMEMBER.

Among the monuments set up by France to perpet-
uate the memory of this will be of the big at
rocity guns with which the Germans so long bombarded
Paris from safe distance 1t will be placed in the Place
de la Concorde the famous Strassburg statue which
the French long kept draped in mourning in memory
of the lost province Of And it will
as a similar object.
1t was that Strassburg monument as much as any
thing that served to keep alive French resentment for
the German aggression of 1870 and thus keep France
armed and ready to repel further aggression
The Germans have been wont to critcise the French
for fostering spirit of revenge" After perpetrating
ntolerabe crimes the Prussians to like to preach
spirit Of Christian forgiveness to the nations they have
wronged
No genuine Christian nation it is true, can consist
emily cherish the sentiment of revenge But it is perfectly
permissible for nation person, after having been
wronged by another, to be on guard against similar
wrongs from the same source thereafter This atrocy
gum will serve useful purposes in keeping alive in the
minds of the French people the destructive cruelty of
which their neghbors capable, and will be constant
reminder to take care that Germany shall be in
position to repeat the offense
1t would be an excellent thing if one of those
devesh guns could be set up in New York Washington
for similar reminder to the American people. We need
such memorials worse than the French do.

A TALE OF TWO CONSTITUTIONS.

History does repeat itself Going back 181 years, we
find the eloquent and patriotic statesman Patrick Henry
saying of the constitution of the United States drafted
at Philadelphia and submitted to the states for ratfca
ion
"Is this tame REIMBURSEMENT of rights worthy of
freemen? 1t is worthy Of the manly forttude that ought
to characterize republicans? It is said that eight states
have accepted this plan declare that if twelve and
half had adopted it. would with manly fortude, and in
spite of an erring world, reject it.
General Thompson of Massachusetts, said:
"The convention was sent to Philadelphia to amend
this confederation he old confederation that held the
thirteen colonies together loosely during the Revolution
ary War; but they have made new creature; and the
very setting out of it is unconstitutional"
Delegate Mason at the Massachusetts convention
said
1--WE have sworn that Massachusetts, is a sovereign
and independent state How then can we vote for this
Constitution that destroys that sovereignty"
Luther Martin in an address to the people of Mary
land said: ..4,.u., ....o,.
ment as very defective and that the liberty and happiness
will be endangered if the system be not greatly changed
and altered"
James Lincoln Of South Carolina said:
"What have you been conendng for in the ten years
past? Liberty The power of governing yourselves. Ii
you adopt this Constitution have you this power? No;
you give it into the hands OF men who live 1000 miles dis
tant from you Let the people btu trust their ber
ties out of their hands, and what will be the con-
sequence"
Delegate Smith said, in speech to the Now York
convention:
'Can the liberties of 100000 people be securely
trusted in the hands of twentyf0ur men (meanlng the
proposed senate of the United States? Is prudent to
commit to SO small number the decision Of the great
questions that shall come before them? Reason revos at
the idea"
And SO it goes. Anyone who looks into the records
of 1887 and 1 as some student has done for the New
York World will find that about all the arguments used
today against the proposed constitution of the League
Of Nations used by of foefathers in crit
csng the constitution of the League OF Colonies worked
out by other forefathers.
Some of the criticism sounded reasonable enough,

GOOD USE FOR FOREIGN TONGUES.

AS the country starts upon its of Americanza
ton and Of education in the English language there is
class of people whose value cannot be over estimated
They are the gifted perhaps better word is educated
ones who know not only English but foreign language
as well, particularly those tongues spoken by great
majority of our unskilled labor.
It is possible to find people Of this class in every To-
ony speak to the foreigner in his own tongue while he
is in the process of learning English and do much to
smooth his way, but also detect any faint Of dsoy
atty in ally foreign discourse either in the school out

Persons acting in such capacity must of course be
above reproach but to overlook their possibility of useful
ness is to overlook valuable gift ready to hand.
