From a Crown Down to a TIgilance Com

l?0W i REPUBLIC ONLY IN NAME
The apparently precarious condition of
the French Republic on account of the reve
lations made by the Panama Canal investi
gation is unquestionably causing no little
uneasiness to the friends of popular govern
ment, lest some of the many aspirants to
sovereign power should take advantage of
the situation to attempt a coup d'etat and
thus overthrow the constitution. While
such a result mar not be probable, says a
writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, it is
far from impossible. Popular government
exists in name and form. The present Be
pubhcan lorm is as truly a despotism as
that of the Czar of Russia.
The traditions and usages of France are
all those.of a despotism. A habeas corpus
exists, but may be easily set aside and is so
frequently isrnored that It may be practic
ally nullified whenever the Government
chooses; the courts of justice are those of
the Middle Ages, the presiding Judge act
ing tbe part of public prosecutor; every
year a merciless conscription draws the best
youth of the country into the ranks, and the
most rigid despotism could do no more. The
people are fully aware of the fact that a
change would be in name only, and this
knowledge has perhaps contributed to the
facility of chanee. Ever since the terrible
outbreak of 1789 the national life of France
has been one long agony, a nightmare
lasting 103 years, a constant effort at
change, in tbe hope oi finding something
better than what has been already at
tained. Fiance's First Baptism of Blood.
From the jear A. D. 418, when the
Franks settled in Flanders and began to
make inroads into Gaul, until 1789, a period
of 1,371 years, the people of France lived
under an absolute despotism. For a gener
ation before the Revolution all France was
smouldering fire; the American Revolution
came, fanned the fire into a lurious blaze,
and the year which on this side of the At
lantic witnessed the establishment of a
stable Government to succeed the lightly
regarded Articles of Confederation also
witnessed in France the most stupendous
social upheaval of history. It is called the
Revolution; it was that and more. It was
a social and political earthquake, in which
tbe lowest strata were exposed and the up
per were torn and rent in a thousand direc
tions. It was the downfall oi the system of
hereditary succession, for never since has a
King felt safe on his own throne nor certain
that his son would peaeelnlly succeed to
his crown.
From 1789 to 1799 the French people re
semble nothing so much as a man lost in
the dark, unable to detect a single familiar
leature of his surroundings, feeling his way
to and fro in the hope of touching some
thing that might enable him to regain his
bearings. At first moderate counsels pre
vailed. In the confederation of the Champs
de Mars, July 14, 1790, a limited monarchy
was proclaimed, and the King swore to
maintain the Constitution. Aware that he
was virtually a prisoner in the hands of his
enemies, he attempted flight, was captured,
brought back, and on September 15, of
the same year, agaiu snore fealtv to
the document of national libertv.
Unable to trust him, the National Conven
tion, on September 22, 1792, deposed him
and declared a Republic On January 21,
1793, a despotism, the most frightful ever
known, was established, under the name of
the Committee of Public Safety, a despot
ism the more abhorrent in that it was wholly
irresponsible and sent hundreds to the
guillotine lor any crime, for no crime, or
suspicion, or accusation often unsustained,
or charges not proven, or secret informa
tion often prepared. The King put to
death and out ot the way, free license was
given to thef constitution makers, and con
btitutiou followed constitution so rapidly
that it was tbe saving of the Parisian book
seller, when asked for a copy of the consti
tution, "Monsieur, we keep "no periodicals."
Establishment of the Empire.
But little by little order gradually came
out of the dreadful chaos, tbe need of a
stable administration was felt, the legisla
tive power was placed in the hands of a
Council of 500 and the ancients, while the
executive power was lodged with a Di
rectory of five members, chosen on Novem
ber 1,1795. iBut tbe Revolution had already
found its-master, and the "whifi of grape
shot" that ended the iusnrrection ot the
sections on October 5, 1795, put an end to
uncertainty of the situation and disclosed
the man on horseback.
The campaign in Italy made Bonaparte
Emperor. The Directory had shown so
signal a degree of incapacity in the control
ot affairs that when the victorious General
determined to assume supreme control lie
found little difficulty in doing so, 'and on
November 10, 1799, he drove the members
of the Council out of their chamber at the
point of a bayonet and established the Con
sulate, with himself as tbe head of the new
administration. The great victory at
Marengo made him Consul for life, the for
mal declaration of this change being on
August 2, ISO?, and all understood by that
act that France had merely made a change
of masters, the absolute but ir
responsible despotism of the Com
mittee of Public Safety being suc
ceeded by the not less absolute but
responsible rule of a military tyrant From
the consulate to the empire was an easv
and natural change, which came on May 18,
1801, and the coronation of Napoleon on
December 2 of the same year ratified the
new order of things. Founded by the army,
the supreme power intrusted to the head ot
the army, the imperial throne was sale so
lonz as the army was victorious, and Aus
terlitz and Jena Eylau and Vienna served
but to establish more firmly tbe galling
yoke of absolute force. But with the re
verses in Russia the throne began to totter,
and the news of the annihilation ot the
greatest armv that bad ever taken the field
since the millions of Huns and Scythians
poured from the North and East to the con
quest of the Roman Empire so disturbed
Paris that a formidable insurrectiou broke
out, and tbe Emperor, deserting his army,
hurried back to save his throne. -The
Fall of Napoleon.
A tremendous struggle followed, Na
poleon and France against the rest of
Europe, and after one of the most heroio
campaigns on record, Napoleon failed, the
allied army entered Paris, and on April 5,
1811, came the next change, in the abdica
tion of the Emperor. The Bourbons were
restored, Louis XVllL entering Paris
amid the ill-omened silence of the people,
and a Constitutional charter was decreed on
June 4. The new order of things lasted
until March 1, 1815, when, to the horror of
Louis and the swarm of Bourbons who had
come back with him to Paris, Napoleon
landed at Cannes and began the lamous
Hundred Days Empire. Out went the
Bourbons, fleeing from Paris like a flock of
blackbirds scattered by a hawk, and on
March 20 Napoleon arrived at Fontaine
bleau to receive tbe homage of Paris and
France. The Hundred Days ended on
June 18 at Waterloo. Napoleon abdicated
June 22, and on July 3 Louis XVIIL and
his panic-stricken friends came back to
Paris, escorted by the bayonets of the
allies.
For some inscrutable purpose.Providence
permitted Louis XVIIL to finish his days
in such comparative peace as the times af
forded, and, though various attempts were
made on his life, he died as natural a death
as his drunken and gluttonous habits per
mitted, and in 1824 was succeeded by his
brother, tbe Count d'Artois, under the title
of Charles X, Cbarlea wai born, in. 1757,
and at the time of his accession was, there
fore, 67 vears of age. He was a true Bour
bon. He had learned nothing, and was
strongly of tbe opinion that he held the
throne by divine right, and that the sole
duty of his subjects was unquestioning obe
dience. The Chambers he regarded much
as Louis XIV. had regarded the Parlia
ment of Paris useful for recording the
royal decrees, and, with some limitations,
to be entrusted with the minor and disa
greeable functions of government .
A Reply From the Barricades.
Significant hints that the people were not
disposed to take the roval view of the mat
ter were given in the election riots of 1827,
but as these were suppressed, the King, for
the moment startled, resumed courage and
determined to be a king in fact as well as
In forin. He began by appointing three of
the most unpopular men InFrance to offices
in his -Cabinet Polignac, a living expres
sion of the Clerical party, Bourdonnaye,
violent Royallstj and Bonrmont, best known
to the people and the army as a deserter
from the French camp at Waterloo.
The Assembly resented the appointments;
the King dissolved the Assembly, and in
the new elections, almost to a man, the
members of the opposition were returned.
The King believed that he had a great mis
sion to perform; nothing less, in short, than
to stifle Liberalism and to establish his
Government on an exclusively religious
and monarchical basis. Even the most de
Toted of his Ministers saw the danger and
warned him of it, but with a fatuity that
seems absolutely incredible, he refused to
listen, and on Jnlv 26,1830, decrees were
pnblished by the official paper, which sup
pressed the liberty of the press, annulled
the recent elections, and arbitrarily estab
lished an entirely new electoral system.
The answer came next day from the barri
cades; and by the night of the 28th all
Paris was in the hands of the Revolution
ists, and the King was besieged in his
palace. Too late he discovered his mis
take and wished to annul the obnoxious de
cree;, but too much blood had been shed;
the King, fearing the fate of Louis XVI,
fled to Versailles, then from France, and a
provisional Government was at once established.
Reign of the Two Louis.
Although raised to .the throne by what
was practically a popular vote, the son of
Philippe Egalite could no more than his
predecessor forget that he was a king in
the old sense of the word, and not a servant
of the people. Designated as the "Citizen
King," he was, nevertheless, extremely
unpopular after 1840,- and at various times
no less than seven different attempts were
made on his life by individual would-be
assassins. His throne was always un
steady; but had he shown the prudence that
might have been expected from a man who
bad before him the example of a father who
perished on the guillotine at the hands of
an infuriated people, he might hare re
tained power as long as he lived. The
strange obliquity of mental vision, how
ever, sometimes seen in men of lofty posi
tion, made him insensible to all signs of
coming trouble.
The mutterings of the impending storm
were heard in 1847. There were scandals
involving the members of the Government
Several men, prominent in political ciroles,
were accused ot bribery; some were con
victed and sentenced; others escaped. The
general spirit of unrest observed throughout
Europe at that time was active also in
France. The people began to clamor for
reform. A strong body in the National
Legislature favored compliance with the
popular will. The Citizen King stood
forth as tbe opponent of change. The spark
that lighted the fire was the prohibition of
a grand reform banquet proposed for Feb
ruary 21, 1848. Revolutionary disorders
broke out, barricades were thrown up, the
Tuilleries ransacked, the prisons opened
and frightful disorders resulted.
On February 24, three days after the ar
bitrary prohibition of the banquet, the
King abdicated in favor of his infant grand
son. The people relused to accept the in
fant and a long regency; the King and his
advisers escaDed to England, and on Feb
ruary 26, less than a week after the pro
posed banquet, a Republio was proclaimed
from the steps of the Hotel de Ville. The
Republio was not at once established. A
provisional Government was formed, which
meant a dozen real despots instead of a
wonld-be arbitrary King, but the National
Assembly was called together, a constitu
tion patched up, and, on December 20,
Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was pro
claimed President of the Republic of
France. This, the second Republic, over
whose destinies Louis was elected to pre
side, lasted until 1852, when, bv what Vic
tor Hugo calls a "great crime, the empire
was again proclaimed.
The Fresent French Republic.
The third Republic, the one now appar
ently tottering to its lall, like the first and
second, grew out of the corruptions of the
court So long as Louis Napoleon was suc
cessful in his enterprises at home and
abroad his Government was measurably
popular, but the failure of the scheme to
set up a dependent empire In Mexico cast
the first cloud over his fortunes. His peo
ple became restless, and, aware that a crisis
was at hand, he sought to avert it by the
war with Prussia. No sooner was this
begun than, to the astonishment of the
world, the whole military system of the
French collapsed in the most helpless man
ner possible.
The shameful events of the war of 1870-71,
the manner in which the French armies
were separated in the field and beaten in
detail, the shutting up of Bazaine with his
great host within the fortifications of Metz,
the defeat and capture of the Emperor at
Sedan, the gallant but ineffectual defense
ot Paris against the German armies, are all
matters of recent history. Stung by the
disgrace attending the conduct ot the war,
the people of Paris demanded the deposi
tion of the Imperial dynasty. The Republi
can members of the National Assembly
passed tbe decree of deposition on March
1, 1871, and, as usual in French history, a
provisional Government was formed to pre
pare for another Republic. This was at
once confronted by the Commune with its
ideas ot anarchy, and the German armies on
the outskirts ef Paris witnessed the civil
strile going on between the troops of the
line and the soldiers of tbe Commune. The
insurrection against a revolution was finally
put down with a terrible outlay of blood
shed and the third Republic established on
what was supposed to De a firm and perma
nent basis.
The first President, Thiers, elected Au
gust 31, 1871, for the term ot seven vears,
held his office until May 24, 1873, then re
sicned. His successor, Marshal Mac
Malion, was elected on the day of Thiers'
retirement, and he, too, resigned before
the close of his term, quitting office in 1879,
to be succeeded by Grevy, who as forced
out by the Legion of Honor scandals and
made room for Carnot, the present incum
bent The existing form of government
has outlived any ot its predecessors since
1789, but how much longer it will endure is
a question of much concern to its friends.
TRIAL OF THE VESUVIUS
To Be a Thorough and Practical Test
of
All Its Powers.
"Washington, Dec 26. Not quite ap
propriate to the season of "Peace and good
will," the Navy Department gives out a
statement that it has mapped out a most ex
haustive programme for the trial of the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and her guns. It
is the desire of the department to determine
once for all just what may be expected of
this craft in time of need. Shots will De
fired at moving and stationary targets, and
with the vessel herself moving at various
degrees of speed.
The most interesting feature of the trial
will be the six shots, each loaded with 500
pounds of explosives, fired at amoving
target, consisting of a condemned hulk.
This, it is supposed, will give a practical
illustration of the ability ot the Vesuvius
to carry out the purpose for which' it was
built, namely, to sink the ship of an enemy
at the distance of a mile. Eigutyfour shots
in all will be fired, 66 blanks and 18 loaded
with ammensite and gun cotton.

Washington. Dec. 28. For nearly four

Methodist minister, has been away irom nis
home and his friends in this city. He left
here about December 1, telling his wife he
was going to Baltimore. She has not seen
or heard from him since. He has a son and
a daughter living oear Bqchester, If. Y.
Mrs. Thompson has written to them inform

received replies that they have not seen the
missing man. It is proposed now to take
some steps to clear np the mystery which
surrounds his whereabouts.
Eev. Mr. Thompson is about 67 years of
age, and has not been actively in the min

however, still a member of the Genesee
