The census gives us a yield, as a county, of
only 157,859 oranges. Take a minimum of three
hundred farm houses, surrounded by the aver
age of twenty-five trees, and we have 12.500
bearing trees in the county, instead of 435, and
a yield of about 2,250,000 oranges. This esti

Defense of Criminals—The Recent Exe
cutions—Practical Jack Drown.
Fastmax, Ga„ October 26 —Will the News
permit me through its columns to make a sug
gestion to our lawmakers! I really think the
Legislature ought to enact a law changing the
present loose method of the appointing of
counsel by our courts to defend parties ac
cosed of crime when they are unable to em
ploy counsel for themselves. Humanity, of
course, demands that no prisoner shall be put
upon trial in the courts charged with any crim
inal offense without the benefit of counsel to
represent -him, to see that be has a perfectly
fair and impartial trial, that no advantage is
taken of the prisoner by the prosecution, and
that all the law and evidence in his favor is
properly laid before the court and jury trying
the cause. Neither do I believe there is an
attorney so devoid of feeling and human
ity as to refuse, for any reason per
sonal to himself, to undertake the de
fense of the poor and defenseless. But
the way this thing is now managed the ap
pointment of counsel bj the courts has grown
to be a perfect nuisance and imposition. When
a prisoner is brought into court he is simply
asked if he has an attorney to represent him,
and whether or not he is able fo procure coun
sel . If he answer in the negative, as is usually
the case, the court, without further form or
ceremony. Assigns counsel for the defense,
when, as a matter of fact, in nine cases out of
ten the defendant has made no effort whatever
to emt loy counsel, and has not even spoken to
any one about taking bis case. This ought not
so to be. It seems to me that before appoint
ing counsel the defendant should be required
to make and sign an affidavit under oath that
he has diligently endeavored to procure coun
nel. but that owing to his poverty he has utter
ly failed and is not able to do so. Why, it has
come to pass that nowadays about nine-tenths
of the defendants in criminal oases never em
ploy or even try to employ counsel to defend
th> m. Especially is this true when the defend
ant is a negro. They almost invariably say
they are not able to do so—by which, I surpese,
they merely mean that they don't feel that they
can spare i he money to pay a lawyer’s fee. If
they could worm cut of it on this sort of pre
text. a great many people, no doubt, would
never pay for anything they get.
It i* the a'most universal verdict of the citi
zens of this place—and th o y certainly have the
best opportunity of knowing—that the account
of the late riot and of the trials, convic
tions. sentence and execution of the rioters,
published in the Savannah Morxi.-g News, is
the most accurate account, and the fairest to
all parties concerned, of any that has been
given to the public. Next to this in correct
ness comes the Mscon Telegraph and Messen
ger. The account given by the Atlanta
Constitution contains many errors—some
of them quite “material. And the New
York Herald's account Is a mere bundle
of inaccuracies Some of the papers ssy that
Col. Jack Brown abandoned the cases as coun
r el for the defense before the trials were over.
I never beard of this before, although I was
bis associate counseL Nor do I know of any
other Republican engaged In the defense be
sides Col Brown. I don’t think Mr. Taylor, of
Hawkinsville, 6r Mr. Bymme*. of Brunswick,
or Mr. Hay goad, of Montezuma, is a Republi
can. and I know the writer is not. Still, I can
not speak positively and of my own knowledge
as to the politics of these other gentlemen.
But it is not my purpose to undertake a review
and correction of the numerous errors that
appear in the accounts of the riot, execution,
etc., given by the different newspapers.
While speakieg of Colonel Jack Brown and
polit ct, however, an honest confession, male
by Colonel Brown, of what sort of politician
be is, occurs to me. During the trials of the
rioters Judge Pate and the members of the bar
were diseursing the subject of politics one day
during recess for dinner. In the course of the
conversation Col. Brown very candidly remark
ed: “Well, gentlemen, I am a Republican be
cause it pays me to be one. I belong to the party
that has the government, and I always expect
to. Whenever you Democrats get the govern
ment I will come over to you and be as good a
Democrat as aDy of you. But I make money
by being a Republican while that party is in
power. There is no principle at out it. 1 would
not be a Democrat from principle. Lor am I
a Republican from principle, for there is
no such thing as principle in politics.
It’s money with me. When I want to take a
trip North or out West I confer with the de
partments at Washington and they manage to
fix up some government business for me and
pay me well to attend to it. and thus I travel
without expense. Yes, gentlemen, I make
money out ot politics by belonging to the
party in power. See.” J. 8., Jr.

The International Anarchists* League—

Lyons—Vigilance of the Government.
London, October 27.—The correspondent
of the Central Neus at Lyons telegraphs to
day: “The situation is critical. A panic
has seized the population. The theatres
last night were empty, and a mob threatens
to attack the banks and public buildings*
Measures of precaution have been taken.”
The Exchange Telegraph Company an
nounces that private advices represent the
state of Lyons to be very alarming. The
promptest action on the part of the military
authorities Is advocated In order to prevent
a revolutionary rising. Business is sus
pended, and more troops have been tele
graphed for.
The Paris correspondent of the Manches
ter Guardian says he has never heard so
much anxiety expressed in regard to the
future as now. The police, he says, arc
extraordinarily active. A large number of
arrests are being made at Lyons. Among
the persons arrested are men supposed to
have placed a number of bombs under the
table In the restaurant on Sunday last.
Paris, October 27 — A semi-official note
is published, referring to the recent events
at Montceau-!es-Mines and Lyons. It says
the government Is watching the proceedings
of an organized association, whose head
chiefs remain abroad. There ia no ground
for undue alarm, as the authorities are
firmly resolved to repress every illegal act
aad everywhere to maintain public order.
The government has the means at its dis
posal to accomplish this end.
The Joiirnvl de Paris publishes a detailed
account of a meeting of the Directory Com
mittee of the International Anarchist L-ague
at Geneva on August 14'h, and also the
text of a manifesto declaring that the mem
bers of the League are enemies of ail law,
religion, employers and owners of property,
wbiifc manifesto was then approved, and
wh'ch is now being discussed among the
federated groups in England, France, Italy,
Spain, Germany and R jaala.
The Temps urges the government to take
vigorous measures to repress the risings of
anarchists. The authorities at Lyons have
taken precautions to protect the public
buildings and property of peaceable citizens.
More threatening letters have been sent to
the authorities at Montceau-les-Mines. Sev
eral arrests have been made.

CCTBBERT.
Wediliug Bells—Politics—The Business
Outlook.
CI'TH hurt, Ga., October 26.— Editor Morning
Newa: Yesterday at noon the Methodist Church
in this place was the scene of a brilliant wed
ding. the contracting parties being Mr. W. F
Grace, of Macon, and Miss Ida Hamilton, of
Cuthbert. The large edifice was filled with ad
miring friends, Cuthbert being the home of
Miss Ida from early childhood, her lamented
father, Dr. A. L. Hamil'on, having for many
years been President of Andrew Female Ccl
lege. The marriage ceremony was performed
in an imposing manner by the Rev. P. 8. Twitty,
after which the bridal party bid adieu to
friends and took the Macon, carrying
with them the best wishes of numerous friends
and relatives.
The sweet swelling strains of the grand wed
ding: march had scarcely died away when
mends began to gather fn the large parlor of
Andrew College to wkness the marriage of Mr.
a U n. eD £. Bmi K h ’ ot Montgomery. Ala . and Miss
Bailie Flewellen, the accomplished daughter of
Prof. A. H. Flewel'en, one of the Professors of
Andrew College. Mr. Smith and his charming
bride left for Montgomery immediately after
their marriage.
The marriage of another couple was to have
taken to place in our city yesterday, but failed
to come off on account of the Mckne*s of one
of the contracting parties. Don’t you think.
Mr. Editor, that Cuthbert girls are in demand?
1 would not be surprised if you have a Savan
nah man with bis eye on one of our most
charming belles.
the Legislature is soon to meet, and
candidates are making a thorough canvass.
The I ataula Circuit has four candidates for the
Judgeship in the persons of Hon John T.
Clarke, Col. L. C. Hoyle, Hon. E. C. Bower and
Judge Arthur Hood, the present incumbent.
Judge Hood is decidedly ahead, and, no doubt,
will be elected his own successor. In the Al
bany Circuit. Hon. J. A. Bush, of Camilla, will
most likely be. elected, and Judge W. H. Fish,
Oglethorpe, appears to be the strongest can
didate in tie race for the Judgeship of the
Southwestern Circuit. Your talented fellow
citizen, A. Pratt Adams, will get a good sup
port from this section as Judge of the Eastern
Circuit.
The business outlook of Cuthbert is indeed
poor, due to the low price of cotton. Guano
collections at this point are poor so far, due
mostly Aw a want of gin power.
The aße and potato crops are good, and
more hogs than usual for home use will be
slaughtered this fall.
Two circuses are billed for Cuthbert this
month and next, and of course some chuicb
members will want to see the animals.

New York’s Sensation—Mrs. Langtry
Described.
The reigning sensation In New York Is,
of course, Mrs. Langtry, the actress, who
arrived there Monday morning. It may in
terest the ladles to know that “she wore a
navy-blue dress, trimmed around the neck
with old lace,” and that “her hair was neat
ly banged;” also, “her complexion is clear
and beautiful, her manner prepossessing,
her figure erect and attractive.” When
asked as to her first Impressions of New
York she remarked: “I am delighted with
its appearance. It, resembles Paris so much
that 1 am sure I shall like it, for I.love
Pails. lam sure I shall like America*and
Its people. They are so much rqpre
courteous than the English. The Americans
I have met seem to me to resemble the
French in regard to politeness, and that is
why I like them, I presume, for you know
lam French. We all speak French in Jer
sey, and I scan talk easily in the Jersey
patois, but at home we generally spoke
English, because my mother was a Scotch
woman.”
A reporter of the New York Sun- who was
admitted to the presence of Mrs. Landry,
indulges In the following description of the
famous “Jersey L'ly:” “Mrs. Langtry is
unquestionably a very beautiful woman.
Her hair is brown, with a tinge of rich au
burn that looks li Ke gold. Her beauty is of
the kind that baffles photography, and those
who have seen her pictures only have no
conception of the charm of her face. Her
complexion is pure white and almost trans
parent. There is on either cheek a dull,
rich and scarcely distinguishable color that
softens the contour of the face, but other
wise her skin is as white as snow. The ears
are as purely white as the forehead, and the
eyebrows are beautifully outlined. The
mouth in repose has a pathetic or serions
expression, and the lips are as clearly cut
as a statue’s. When she smiles perfect
teeth are revealed, and the cheeks wrin
kle up into two deep lit*le dimples. The
eyes, however, are the most winning feature
of all. They are gray, with little Jet black
pupils, and are shaded bv long dark lashes.
They are wonderfully expressive, and cer
tainly very effective, for they did remarka
ble work yesterday. Mrs. Lmg try raised
them slowly, and glanced ar, und into the
faces of the men about her, looking at each
one fully. The faces had been sleepy, per
haps, but they woke up. As Mrs. Langtry
talked she looked at the faces about her
with an expression of charming frankness,
and often laughed Ingenuously when she
was amused. Her voice is soft, agreeable,
and so clear that it travels far, and she is ut
terly without the broad English accent eo
tiresome in some of the theatrical people
from the mother country.”
The Turf Club Theatre, New York, was
crowded at the sale of seats for the
first appearance of Mrs. Langtry. Box
B was sold to Charles Wyndham, of her
troupe, for $320 Three other boxes brought
$5O, $4O and $45 each. Seven first choice
seats were bought for $l7 50 each. The
others sold for from $4 50 to $l4 50, accord
ing to location.
An attempt was made a few nights ago to
rob the national bank at Conway, Massachu
setts, and the vault was badly wrenched by
a gunpowder explosion. The vault con
tained unsigned ten and twenty dollar bills
to the amount of $3,800, and about $2,000
besides. The burglars escsped In a stolen

WASHINGTON.
A BAD TIME FOR THE OFFICE
BROKERS,
Mahone’s methods—Edison’s Patents—
“ Busting” from the Inside—Cleveland’s
Majority.
Washington, October 56 —The President Is
going very slow just now. He is waiting for
the November blast from New York and Penn
sylvania. He is not making any appointments
He has been urged to make a large number of
removals and appoint new men. It is almost
unnecessary to say that the persons urged for
removal are people who are tainted with half
breedism in that they are not bowling stal
warts. The other day a politician, anxious for
a change of the kind mentioned, called on the
President and urged (he necessity of his plea-
The President replied that he did not intend to
make any new appointments until after the
November elections, and that it was needless
to urge him to do to. To others on similar
errards he has said the same The character"
of the November elections, it would thus seem*
ia to influence Presidential appointments.
THE WAY HE COES IT.
You know that Mabone ha twice assessed
government emDloyea from Virginia five per
cent, of their salaries, and he got the money,
too. An official of the Post Office Department
told me to-day that not a Virginia employe
there escaped. The very laborers and women
on salaries of six hundred and nine hundred
dollars a year, and many of them with fami
lies to support, have twice been compelled to
hand over five rer cent, of their yearly pay to
the Jay Hubbell, of Virginia. He cited in
stances of three women, one with a family of
three, another with a family of eight, and the
other with an invalid sister to take care of. who
had tried to escape the rake, but to no avail.
The presentation of their case to Mahone did
not cause that gentleman even to reduce the
assessment. They had to pay or go. All of
these three have a salary of only nine hundred
dollars.
Speaking of Mahone, I was looking over a
list of Presidential post offices in Virginia the
other day. The list was at the Post * 'fflee De
partment, and is used for reference. Opposite
each Postmaster’s name was the name of the
individual upon whose recommendation the
appointment had been made. With but few
exceptions that name was Mahone.
EDISON’S PATENTS.
With nearly every issue, weekly, of the list
of patents granted inventors, there is added
one or more, sometimes as many as eight, new
ones to Edison. He will average at least
seventy inventions a year. Many of these in
ventions are the result of his brain years ago,
unou which he is now getting patents.
With a very rare exception, all
of these pertain to electricity.
Long ago a separate room in the Patent Office
was set apart for the reception of the models
of his inventions This room, known as “Edi
son’s Room,” is being rapidly filled. It is one
of the sights not to be missed by visitors. They
are always shown that room. It is certainly
worth seeing. The use of the Inventions or
how they work is unintelligible to the average
man, but the collection of queer looking
models is decidedly interesting. If Edison
goes on at his pr‘sent rate he will soon have to
be assigned an Jther room. It is said that he
has a contract with the Western Union Tele
graph Company by which for $5,000 that com
pany is allowed to make the first bid for every
improvement invented by the “W zard of
Menlo Park.”
HOW THEY BUST.
On the corner of Sever th and F streets in
this city there has been located for years nn
aged darkey who, with brush and blacking,
makes a living .by shining boots. He is a

His stand is just in front of the building for
merly occuple 1 by the Gerraan-American
Savings Bank, which exploded a couple of
years ago under somewhat peculiar circum
stances Th 9 vaults formerly in the building
are now being taken out. A large mass of
bricks and mortar obstructs the sMewa'k. To
day while Bam was polishing away at half an
acre of leather the owner of the leather said:
“Sam. there is enough bricks and mortar there
to build a house.” “Yes, sah,” said Sam, “and,
boss. I can’t see for the life of me how that
bank busted. Certainly it did not bust from
the outside; must a been from the inside, just
like the Freedman’s Bank. They all busts
from the inside, I bleves.”
mo FIGURES.
The figures that are predicted as the ma
jority of the Democrats in New York are cer
tainly large. I do not hear any politician say
that Cleveland’s majority will be less than
15,000, and from that upward the figures grow
very rapidly. Fifty thousand is what most
Democrats predict, and Republicans even the
most stalwart concede the Btate to ihe Democ
racy bv “a very fair majority.” Many Repub
licans concede a 30,000 defeat for Folger. One
Republican from New York is very downcast.
He is a busine-s man in the intenor of the
State. He was in the office of Treasurer Gil

Atlanta, October 26.—The familiar presence
of overcoats and fires reminds us that winter
is close at hand and nipping frosts may be ex
pected pretty soon in thitf section of the State.
Poor stricken Pensacola, for which Savannah
has contributed so nobly, will gladly welcome
a frost of the severest kind, and that, too, with
out delay, Nothing less will stop the yellow
fever scourge there.
Our crowded and lively hotel rotundas also
remind us that the General Assembly is about
to meet. Members and candidates are already
coming in, and the usual canvassing for the
various offices has commenced in good earnest.
Two United States Senators are to be elected
after which will come the election of a lot of
Superior Court Judgs and Solicitors General.
Of course there will be many sharp con tests,
although a number of Judges wil be re-elected
withou t any opposition.
Governor Stephens is occupying the Execu
tive Mansion, and will be inaugurated as sron
as the General Assembly shall have counted
the returns and declared official his majority
It will probably occur on Thursday, as the
grand Inauguration Ball is set for that night
and will be a “swell” affair in its appoint
ments.
Death and sickness made sad inroads upon
the last General Assembly, and now it is ap
parent that the new Legislature is to be a suf
ferer from the same source. Death has taken
the youngest member—Hon. W. W. Singleton,
of Marion—before the session opened, and
rumor says Hon J. S. James, of Douglass, is
in a critical condition from an accident. Sev
eral other members are reported sick, yet they
mav recover in time to be on hand next week
Gen. Zachry. member re-elect from Henry
will not have his seat contorted, and the Hovt-

We are slowly falling behind In our cotton
receipts, being now over 10,000 bales short of
last year to this date.
A fight frost night before last has brought
pit* and hot houses into lively requisition, and
our flower yards begin to look demoraliz'd.’
Judge O. A. Lochrane has given anew impe
tus to the Hill monument fund through an
eloquent letter covering a check for $lOO to
be added to the $1,142 25 already contributed.
The waiters at ail our leading hotels have
asked for an advance of three dollars per
month, making the r pay eighteen dollars per
month. In view of a profitable season ahead
the proprietors readi y allowed the advance.
A large delegation of railroad officials and
prominent cit'sens of Macon is here to receive
the remains of Gen. Wm 8 Holt, which will
arrive at noon by the Richmond and Datville
Railroad, and to escort them to Macon, where
they will be interred in the beautiful Rose Hill
Cemetery.
Captain Robert E. Park, of Macon, was
called to the death bed of his estimable mother
at Greenville laat week, and while there re
ceived the sad news of the death of his wife’s
father. General Wm. 8. Holt. Thus is his
family circle darkened bv a severe double be
reavement. Gen. Holt was greatly beloved by
the public generally, but in his family he wm
most tenderly regarded as a devoted father
and loving husband.
As the Southern Railway and Steamship As
sociation is in session here to-day, it ia proba
ble that a very large number of railroad offi
cials will be at the depot on the arrival of
General Holt’s remains. He was not only
President of the Southwestern Railroad, but
ontrof the original lessees of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, and thereby intimately asso
ciated with the leading railroad men of the
South.
The corner stone of Bt. Luke Episoopal
Church has been laid, and the work on this
elegant structure is being pushed ahead rap
idly. The Rev. Dr. Bhime says each year
shows a marked advance in the “red tarns ’
and “bowling alleys” and “carpenter*’ gothic”
which disfigure church architecture. Bt. Luke
Church is in advance of anything yet seen in
Georgia, being unique as well as inexpensive.
There is a stringent law against emigrant

ters his pictured face broadcast over the city,
and smiles upon the voting population as thev

without any mental reservation.
MINOR TOPICS.
In the notices of the death of the notorious
A. Alpeoria Bradlev, In St. Louis, I see ro men
tion A his expulsion from the bar of Boston.
Mass., and the refusal of the bar of New York
to admit him to prac ice in that city. He was
a fraud wherever he lived, as well as where he
died.
A great deal Is being said about Hon. F. C.
Furman’s “intensive" system of farming,
and yet it is nothing new. I saw it
successfully tried over in Alabama a doz>n
years ago. It is opposed to “extensive” farm
ing, and simply means this: Plant less land and
cultivate it more thoroughly and systematic
ally. We need less planting and more real
farming.
I am glad to see the suggestion in the Morn
ing News in regard to the sesqui-centennial. I
was about to offer the s ime suggestion in my
next letter, as I believe the chief attraction
of the occasion would centre in the landing of
a modern Gen. Oglethorpe In the hands of a
versatile and efficient committee, this feature
could be made one of great importance and
aid largely in drawirg an fmmen e crowd to
your city to witness the celebration.
Your mention of Havannah raised bananas
can be supplemented bv the fact, constantly
becoming emphasized by new editions, that
bananas are being successfully cultivated all
over South Georgia, and with a little care 11
protect them from frost they can be raised iu
much larger quantities in the future.
Already several charters have been granted
for “cut off” railroads—that is, short lints of
travel that make it possible to get around At
lanta without going through the city. Two
new charters of this kind will be asked of the
next G nerai Assembly—one for a narrow
gauge line from Fair! urn, on the West Point
Raitr. ad. to Fayetteville, and the other from
Fayetteville to Jonesboro,, on the Macon and
Western Railroad, thus making a direct line
across from Fairburn to Jonesboro.
It is a remarkable fact that Messrs. Nelson.
Barker & Cos., who have been loaning money
to farmers for five years on mortgages of real
estate, state that their most numerous loans
have been made in two of the best and most
prosperous agricultural counties in Georgia,
which are Washington and Talbot. It is pos
sible, however, that their agents, located at
Talbot tod and Sandersville, may have loaned
some of this money to pirties in adjoining
counties. At all event* the general impression
prevails that a majority of these loans will
capture the farms on which they have been
made.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The opponents of Governor Colquitt have
made a mistake in offering Attorney General
Anderson as a candidate for United States
Senator, as it only divides and weakens the
strength of Judge Jackson, who is the leading
and most hopeful candidate yet named. It
will be impossible to defeat Colquitt with any
candidate that may be effered, as h’s election
is already assured.
Don’t be deceived by the retirement of the
Independent Congressional candidates in cer
tain districts, as it only means a stronger fight
m a few other more hopeful districts. A heavy
burden is being t rown upon the Democracy
of the First district, where there is a most
encouraging prospect of electing the nominee.
Just now the whole State is deeply interested
in your canvass, and it is imperative that every
Democratic vote in the district be brought out
on election day—and “don’t vou forget it.”
Later information from Felton and Speer
gives alarm to the friends of Clements and
Candle-. Here in the Fifth district it is aat ill
hunt, but the most thorough and effective ever
inaugurated in Georgia. There is perfect har
mony among the white and colored Republi
cans, and many old line Whigs are giving Bock
a hearty support. Hammond is an able man,
but not popular with certain classes, and if the
House is Republican I am certain Buck will be
given the seat. This will put Buck, Felton and
Speer with the opposition, but Hardeman will
reduce the loss to two members. Will ihe First
district avert defeat for her candidate*
ARMY AND NAVY PERSONALS.
Captain James E. Jowett, U. 8. N., has taken
the Wyoming from Port Royal, S. C., to An
napo’is, Md., where thd Is to be used by the
Cadets of the Naval Academy.
Lieutenant Wm. W. Forsyth, of the Sixth
Cavalry, who is Atlanta’s last graduate at West
Point, has reported for duty with his comnanv
at Fort McDowell, in Arizona.
Naval Cadet Jacob G. McWhorter, of Au

the Yantic and ordered to duty on the Juniata

Paul is a daughter of the lamented Gen. G. R

As the new Chaplain at West Point Milita’y
Academy is a Reformed Episcopalian, an or
der has been issued allowing cadets of the
Episcopal church to attend service on com
munion Sundays at Highland Falls, which re
lieves them from a very embarrassing position
Lieut. Eli D. Hoyle (of Atlanta), the new Ad
jutant at West Point, has a very accomplished
wife—daughter of Gen. De Russv-who is a fine
vocalist, and ihrough her personal efforts the
Chapel choir at the Military Academy has been
greatly improved.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
A reform is needed in the matter of mailing
papers to exchanges, I saw one in the Atlanta
office directed to the Plantation, which has
been dead a half dozen years. Exch < nge lists
need frequent revision, owing to the increased
mortality in newsoaper circles
It seems probable that professional thieves
from the North and West have drifted into this
part of the country, as pocket picking and
stealing are on the increase, and circumstances
indicate that it is the work of experts, and
that they are somewbat numerous.
We have Bells Brothers Circus in Atlanta
to-day, and Forepaugh’s advance agent is run
ning a lively opposition in the way of adver
tising in the newspapers, and otherwise. He
put an advertising car at the rear of the street
procession: • Wait for Foiepaughls Great

Impending Revolution In France.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Post thus discusses the political
situation In France: “Wheneverone has
the opportunity of talking with sensible and
enlightened men who come from the pro
vinces and those who live in the depart
ments, and studies with caveful attention
the state of public opinion, one is naturally
led to conclude that France Is on the eve of
a revolution. General de CharreDe and his
countrymen ot Vendee, who organize ex
cursion trips on Cook’s system to Frohs
dorf, the seat of the Comte de Chambord,
may be UDder the illusion that the republic
will be overthrown, and that the white flig
will wave from the channel to the Pyrenees
as It waves in the banquetlag rooms of
legitimate partisans. Tne partisans of
Prince Jerome and the ycung Prince Victor
can hardly expect that the country will
take much interest In debates of a violent
character, which commence with abuse,
and end in blows. The Socialist
workingmen societies who have sent
their representatives to the congress
of 8L Etienne are no doubt cherishing
the Idea that, if a revolution is to agitate
France again, it will be a socialistic revolu
tion. Then we have M. Gambetta, who
earnestly believes that his newspapers, from
the Renublique Franca>se to the Reforms, will
enlighten the French nation as to the Im
portance of maintaining joint control, and
will compensate the man who stood up for
the Anglo French alliance by voting 6Crntin
de ltste, and make him all powerful. But
the revolution to which I refer Is one differ
ing in character from all previous revolu
tions. It Is no emancipation from Impe
rialism or monarchy, from aristocracy or
democracy, from one form or another of
government. It Is the emancipation of
France, of rural France, of the hardworking
and laborious portion of the nation, from the
P rlslan yoke. The country cares little
whether M, Ferry or M. de Freyclnet, M.
Gambetta or M. Duclerc be at tbe head
of a French Ministry. What It cares
Is to emancipate Itself from the
lcfluence of a city which has beccme a
‘Grand Bourse.’ The duke and the land
owner, the shopkeeper and the peasant, who
visit Paris as you would visit a great exhi
bition, have had enough of the prestige of
Paris. The so-called patriotic enterprises
have been started in Paris. But it is the
money and the best blood of
France which have been spent to
back the financial operations of
politicians Id Tunis, and more money &cd
more lives would willingly to spent in
Parisian enterprise and speculation to insure
financial operations in Egypt. Government
newspapers, bourse and bankers seem con
verted and molded into one institution.”
