DEMOREST, QA., SEPT. I 4 , 1894
r4 FOR SENATOR
Hon. L. F. GARRARD,
OF MUSCOGEE.
The emperor of China has issued
an edict ordering a hundred thou
fcand Manehus and Pekingese to
hold themselves ready for war serv
fce. The Chinese policy is to have
a prolonged struggle and most of
that on land. Of the vast number
of men whom the emperor can call
the field not more than 70,000
a proper trainin&or
are properly armed. Their officers
have been undermined by the pec¬
ulation, which seems a part of Chi
official life. For instance a
eapfarn draws pay for 100 soldiers
when hff has only 50, and the ex¬
alted position of Titai (general and
admiral combined) has a real value
many times greater than its nomi.
nal salary of $6,ooo.| Both the
commisserat and the medical serv¬
ice of the Chinese army arc at the
the lowest level. As to the first,
tearmy is supposed to live off the
eopie it conquers; as to the sec
the doctors arc powerless ex¬
cept in simple cases, and there is
AO army hospital. On the other
hand, Japan has already 160,000
men under arms, and can at any
time put double that number in the
field. Half are armed with repeat
mg and half with single rifles. Tlie
of the island empire is nat¬
to maintain naval warfare
per possible, and to strike
1 and brilliant blows. As to
truggles, Count Ito knows
ell that in the long run even his
ucafccl soldiery are risking much
a conflict with a nation ten times
large in population. For this
------should Japan gain the

in all other grades is by seniority,
Thirdly, on their own application
and after thirty"years of *emc«,of
ficers ranking above the grade of
lieutenant may be placed on the re¬
tired list with three quarters sea
pay. After thirty-five years active
service all officers are to be consid
ered as candidates for the reserve
list or for voluritary retirement.
Thus a fair plan is offered for the
retirement of officers, of whom we
have now too many.
The Comte de Parte.
The Comte De Paris, whose
death seems near at hand, will be
recognized even by French repub¬
licans as an upright, cultivated, and
patriotic man. It will be acknowl¬
edged that he strove to prove his
worthiness to ride by combining
the conception of a constitutional
and liberal monarchy personified in
his grandfather, Louis Philippe,
with the hereditary claim to reigfi,
which, in accordance with the acts
of renunciation accompanying the
peace of Utrecht, fell to him upon
the death of the Comte De Cham¬
bord, the head of the elder branch
of the Bourbons. Although he
never suffered the privations to
which' his grandfather was sub¬
jected in early life, he had a varied
and remarkable experience, passing
the greator part of his days in exile,
and serving for a time as a staff
officer in the Union army during
our civil war, of which he after¬
ward wrote a comprehensive and
painstaking history. Had hit abil¬
ities been of a less sober and more
brilliant character, they would have
appealed more forcibly to the imag¬
ination of his countrymen, and* he
might have profited by political
crises which seemed propitious to
his Claims. As it was, although
twice expelled from France, .he
was twice or thrice within measur¬
able distance of the crown he cov¬
eted. But the favoradle moments
passed, and he lived to see what
seemed a death blow dealt to the
cause of monarchy in France when
Leo xm. enjoined upon French
Catholic* a sincere acceptance of
the republican regime. There wa*
undoubtely a considerable anti-re¬
publican majority in the National
Assembly which convened at-Bor
deaux in the early part of 1871and
which, having removed to Versail¬
les, completed in 1875 the present
organic law of France. The
strength of the Orleanists in that
body was indicated by the facts
that tHb Comte de Paris was ad¬
mitted a member, andL that a'bill
was passed for the restitution
the property of the Orleans family,
which had been confiscated by
Napoleon m v But the Orleanists
were not strong enough to* bring
about a restoration of the monarchy
in the person of the Comte de Paris.
The opposition, indeed, of the Im¬
pend ists in the Assembly might
been overcome, for they were
and not numerous ;tjut

ceeded, but thanks to the courage,
energy, and influence of that great
orator, the republicans retained
their ascendancy in the next Cham¬
ber, and MacMahon could not be
prevailed upon to attempt a mili¬
tary coup d’etat in the teeth of the
people’s declaration. Even yet
the monarchists did not despair,
and their diverse interests were
consolidated after the death of the
Comte de Chambord in 1883, when
most of the Legitimists acknowl¬
edged the Comte de Paris as the
rightful heir of the royal house of
of France; only a few, henceforth
to be known as the White Legiti¬
mists, repudiating the compact
made in connection with the treaty
of Utrecht, and insisting on the
principle of descent from’ Louis
xiv., which would vest the right
to the French crown in . the head
of the Carlist branch of the Spanish
Bourbons. It is not known to what
extent,if any, the Comte de Paris
was personally collusive in the plan
formed by the consolidated Legiti¬
mists to use Gen. Boulanger, after
his quarrel with the Radical leaders,
as an instrument for the overthrow
of the republic. It is certain,in
view of recent revelations, that
such a plot, existed, and that the
monarchists furnished immense
sums of money for Boulanger’s
political campaign, and powerfully
contributed to his startling series of
victories at the ballot box, culmina¬
ting in what amounted to a*trium¬
phal plebiscite in the Department
of the Seine. On the evening of
the memorable day when the Boul
angists carried Paris Y>y nearly
100,000 njajority, a coup d’ etat
was expected and prepared, but
their standard-bearer was no Bona¬
parte nor Cromwell, nor even a
St. Arnaud ; he shrank from giving
the signal, let the psychological
moment pass, and had presently to
seek escape from arrest in exile.
Thus slipped away the last occasion
when the Comte de Paris had a
chance of seeing his pretensions to
reign in France made good. With
tlqj serious impairment, if not com¬
plete rupture, of his fonner hold
upon the French Catholics, the
Comte de Paris mqst Rave recogn¬
ized that during his lifetime, at all
events, the cause of monarchy was
lost. Whether any better pros¬
pects await his only son, Prince
Louis Philippe Robert,Duke of
Orleans, who is a young man of
twenty-five, depends entirely upon
the conduct of the preponderant
faction of republicans in the
Chamber of Deputies. If they
repel with contumely the hand
stretched forth in friendship by
Leo xm., the next Pope may be
constrained to take a different, atti¬
tude, and a renewed alliance of
Catholics and Conservatives may
convince France that a constituti
onal monarchy is a safer rampart
against anarchy than a Radical
Socialistic commonwealth.
We understand that the sheriff
H^J aken hold of the Taccoa
and proposes to run it to suit the
court herafter; and it is supposed
the Clarkesville Advertiser has
succumbed to the enevitaTMe by
being entirely too ‘‘fresh” and is
suspended. Both these papers
were supporters of Bacon for sena
; probably this accounts for
ir present trouble. At present
Tue Times is the only paper that
is printed in the county.
