the victims having been members of the nobility. From 1789 to 1793, conditions dif fering little from anarchy prevailed. In 1795 affairs were shaped into some sort of order and system when the republic was organized. In 1804, Bonaparte, who had been made First Consul, was crowned Emperor, to wield the imperial power not only over France, but over a large part of the continent of Europe, until his final overthrow in 1815. In view of the state of affairs now existing in Russia, it is worth while to note that anarchy reigned in France for five years; a sort of re public was maintained for nine years following, and this gave place to gov ernment by an Emperor whose power lasted for about ten years. It is not likely that the Russian people will get control of their coun try for some years to come. But when the Government shall be over thrown, there will be a period of frightful disorder, wholesale slaugh ter and pillage. Finally the people will be glutted with blood, and will realize that the revolution is bring ing them no benefit, while the rob bers and desperadoes who figure as leaders are bent only on securing their own advancement and feather ing their own nests at the general cost. Then the people will tire of a state of things in which general vio lence, disorder and wholesale rob bery are the rule, and they will cry out for a government that will bring order, security for rights and prop erty, and they will crown another czar. Revolutions are extremely attract ive to an oppressed people because every individual hopes to get some thing out of the ruins of the old gov ernmental fabric. It takes some time for people to realize that the masses get no immediate individual benefit, while hordes of plunderers and self seekers get away with the spoils, and that almost any sort of government which enforces order is better than mob rule. More than a century has passed away since the first blow for French liberty was struck. Since then France has had two emperors, sev eral kings and several revolutions, and all this has been introductory to the present Republic, which only dates from the downfall of Napoleon 111., at the hands of the victorious Germans in 1871. When the inhabi tants of the earth shall be' truly fitted to be free men, and for a prop er use of constitutional liberty, they will be ready to establish “the Par liament of Man and the Federation of the World.” —New Orleans Picay une. THE FLESH POTS OF EGYPT. Moses was the high court of ap peal in matters of dispute between the children of Israel, but God had to perform some wonderful miracles before they would recognize him as their leader and friend. Many of them would have preferred to remain near the flesh pots of Egypt and be slaves for the Egyptians than to put forth any effort and privation to become a free people in a land flowing with milk and honey—God’s promised land. The people today WATSON'S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. are very much like the Israelites were at that time. The poor wage slaves and workers throughout the land prefer to fawn before the cap italists and vote as the capitalists say for them to vote, rather than take the risk of offending the capi talists and being cut off from small favors —the “flesh pots” of Egypt. It seems it will take miracles from God to arouse these wage slaves to the realization that if they would act and vote independently for them selves and their children instead of for the capitalists and their inter ests; if they would be willing to be snubbed and cursed and have the “flesh pots” withdrawn for a short season they would soon be able to emerge from wage slavery and be come free men. How long will it be until the farmer and wage worker will understand that the things which are good for the capitalist are not good for him 1 ? If the capitalists prosper he loses the fruits of his la bor, for capital is only the profit taken from labor. Will the farmer and laborer get wise or will they still cling to the “flesh pots” of Egypt? If the capi talists would divide the profit it would be different, but they do not divide. As a rule these human parasites are never satisfied with less than all of it. Capital is never willing to allow labor a profit. They act as though they feel that a stinted living is all to which labor is entitled. The cap italist is never willing to grant equal rights to all. They believe in special privileges. They want courts and judges and clerks and sheriffs and treasurers and assessors who will grant them special favors and priv ileges to which labor is denied. They feel like it is right for them to live on the fat of the land while labor lives on the husks. Ho, ye slaves! Wake up!—Weekly Sentinel. RESOLUTIONS.
