ITS PLAN OP CAMPAIGN.
From this lime- until election a y the
itnto will be flooded with the penny shoots
containing the songs o ( calamity , ruin and
blight that will Biirely fall over the state l (
TittoootJ Tom Majors IB not placed in the
'
B'overnor > chair. The committed hai al
ready Rent conddentlil ng ° nti cant to mis-
repreient the actual lluatlon In Nebraska
and to Recurs from eastern capitalists and
bankers let tern pointing out the absolute
certalntr of financial ruin to follow the
election of Judge Holcomb. These agents
ere Instructed to represent that Majors
Bland * for the business credit of Nebraska
and that Holcomb represents the anarchists
and wild-eyed populists. Eastern butlncsg
men will be assured that If Holcomb Is
elected Nebr&skn. will repudiate her Indebt
edness and that the legislature will pass
laws prohibiting the foreclosure of mort
gages , reducing rates of Interest and per
mitting almost Indefinite postponement of
the payment of Judgments , Eastern capital-
Ills will bo told that If Holcomb Is not
'beaten Nebraska , 'bonds will not be worth
the paper they ore printed upon. The paid
emissaries of the Uurllngton organization
will run the whole gamut of the song or
woe. regardless of the effect that their dire
predictions may have upon the future credit
of the state.
As loon as these agents are actively nt
t work tbo returns may ba expected to come
In , The Burlington Journal at Lincoln will
bo filled full of threatening letters from
alleged eastern capitalists and Investors to
the effect that the cast demands the election
of Tom Majors In the Interests of capital.
Many of thete letters will doubtleis be gen
uine , tor the writers may be Imposed upon
by tha suave methods of the olly-tongued
railroad representatives , nut the Urge ma
jority of the letters will be expressly man
ufactured for the occasion.
Tlioso letters will deceive no ono In Ne
braska. The people of this stnte know thnt
the real Issue In the coming campaign Is
whether or not the I ] . & M. railroad can
force a dishonest and obnoxious candidate
down the throats of the people , or whether
the people will throw oft the railroad yoke
which they have been compelled to wear
for so many years. The credit of the state
Is not threatened In the least.
Deferring : to the outrageously false and
misleading statements now being made to
the effect that Nebraska's credit will be-
ruined by the election of Judge Holcomb , a
gentleman well known throughout tha state
says :
"In their zeal to overcome the tremen
deus opposition to Majors the men who are
managing , or rather mismanaging , his cam
paign , are falling Into a. serious error. They
are asserting with well simulated , confidence
that the election of Judga Holcomb means
financial ruin for Nebraska. They assert
that If Holcomb Is elected Nebraska can
dispose of no more bonds , that farmers can
not renew loans as they fall duo , that fann
ers cannot secure new loans on real estate
security , that rates of Interest will advance
and that a general repudiation of debt will
follow.
"Now , what will these zealous gentlemen
eay In the event of Holcomb's success ? What
will Mr. Kountze say to the eastern parties
whom ho hopes to Interest In his canal pro
ject ? What will ho say to the men who an ?
asked to Invent In city bonds for public
works ? Wilt Mr. Kountze assure these gen
tlemen after Holcomb Is elected that his
statements made now before the election has
taken place were mere campaign buncomb , In
tended to frighten people into foisting a
railroad tool upon the people ? Or will he tell
them that Douglas county bands are a dan
gerous Investment under a populist governor ?
"What will our Investment agencies say
to the men who own the money that Is
every year being loaned on Nebraska farms ?
When Holcomb Is elected , will thcso brokers
go out of business , and tell their eastern
principals that no more money can be loaned
In Nebraska until a populist governor has
served his term ? Or will they admit that
they were- merely lying for campaign pur
poses )
"What will these people say to eastern
Investors who may demand the higher rates
of Interest when Holcomb Is elected ? Will
they rustic around In a hopeless endeavor
to loan money at 0 per cent when their com
petitors are offering to loan at C per cent ?
Or Will they admit that .they were simply
talking through their hats ?
"Nebraska will have to face this situa
tion Tf Judge Holcomb Is .elected the state
will continue business at the old stand.
' Bonds will be. Issued and sold , farms will
be mortgaged. Interest will bo paid , enter
prises will be Inaugurated , capital will seek
Investment. These men who are preaching
calamity are simply Injuring the state , and
they are Inflicting a greater Injury than a
populist governor of Judge Holcomb's worth
could possibly Inflict If elected to the office
of governor for life. "

ter. lljrron IJcntl of Lincoln lto di
Sjtnponlum of Letter * on tha Topic
In Connection with lilt Suntlny
Might Sermon.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. 7. ( Special , ) The
nterestlng sermon of Hev. Byron Bcall ,
D.D. , the pastor of the Third Presbyterian .
church , tonight was on the subject of "Sul-
Ide. " He took for his text the words : "And
10 cast , down the pieces ot silver In the
emple and wont and hanged himself , " fropi
Matthew xxvll , 6. The discourse ) was ar
ranged under four heads. The history of
suicide ; causes ; moral character ; the cure.
The minister stated that he preached on the
subject because of the Increasing tendency
0 suicide , and because ot certain defenses
of sulcldo appearing ot late In the public
press. Under the heading , "History ot Sui
cide , " It was1 noted that the crime was most
common In the German nation and found
east unions the Jewish people. The pro
portion ot men committing suicide was three
fold more than that ol women. Under the
heading "Causes , " where the man was sane
10 considered Infidelity the greatest. He
tield that the act was cownrdly , nnd mur
derous , and therefore sinful. The cure was
declared to ue a totter understanding of
physical law and obedience to all laws ot
Gotl.
Probably the principal feature of Dr.
Deall's address was a symposium of letters
from Nebraska pastors , written In answer
to the quest Ion : "Suicide : IB It Right ? "
Among them were several from Omaha.
Uov. Joseph T. Duryea , D.D. , pastor of
the First Congregational church , writes :
"Sulcldo Is not Justified by the law of GoJ ,
either an revealed In nature or In the scrip
tures. Life Is not created by us. but Is on
endowment , and He alone who gives It has
a right to take It. He has placed us hero
for a purpose , and tt Is our duty and privi
lege to seek the fulfillment of It and remain
until Ho takes us hence. "
Hev. Frank Crane , D.D. , pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church , writes :
'Sulcldo Is the legitimate fruit of hopeless
ness. Hopelessness Is the result of distrust
In the Father , It Is the natural end of In
fidelity. It Is perfectly In keeping that the
greatest living Infidel should eulogize suicide.
Christianity teaches that this life is a. prlvl-
eRe nnd has In U the seed of eternal bless
edness. Suicide la therefore Kicked and the
result of a wicked heart. The suicide U to
be pilled. "
Uov. Asa Leard , D.D. , pastor of the Knox
Presbyterian church , writes : "I expect your
question Is a kind of double-barreled aflalr.
1 think It a great thing for the community
to bo rid1 of some people. Yet I suppose we
would be a little particular about commend
ing the manner of their taking away. Never
theless , who Is not committing 'suicide ? I
am. You are. Sly dear sir , beg your par
don , but I want to bo frank. Overwork ,
overeating , and what not. Cutting close the
sunny side ot life. What Is a man's life
for but to bo burdened down to the socket ,
and then flicker and go out ? The brighter
( he flame burna the sooner the candle is
done. Are we not told to keep our lights
burning ? This means consume life as fast
as possible. There , now , I think I have
made out the case. You see It all depends
on how a man goes about It as to whether
It Is right or not. ' ,
WHAT AN ABLE JURIST THINKS. ,
One of the most Interesting of the opinions
In Rev. Dr. Beall's symposium was that of
cx-Chlef Justice/ Samuel Maxwell. It Is :
"God's ' care and protection are over all per
sons. Each one has a mission , viz : The
faithful performance of duties , humble
though they be. He asks us to trust Him
in the assurance that He. will do right , and
that not even b sparrow falls to the ground
without His notice. Thus He tried Abraham ,
and wo all have trials somewhat similar In
kind , but differing In degree. Ho requires
us to be dllllgent , and use the opportunities
wo have , and If we faint not , doors will be
open , which were unexpected , to supply our
needs. God Is near to every one of us.
There la a divinity that shapes our ends ,
rough hew them how wa may , ' and when
work Is finished He will call us home. We
have no right to lay our burden down and
rush unbidden Into Ills presence. "
Rev. W. AV , Harsha , D.D , L.L. D. , of Tc-
cumsoh , ona of the brightest Presbyterians
In the state , writes : "Suicide Is murder ,
when committed by one responsible for his
acts. This has even been the Judgment of
enlightened Christians , and Is plainly taught
In scriptures , Acts 1G-28 , To hold otherwise ,
substitutes paganism for Christianity , Im
perfect human reason for divine wisdom ;
encourage cowardice Instead of courageous
manhood In the face of difficulties , and
shrouds the world In black despair. "
Rov. J. W. Stewart , pastor of the York
Methodist church , writes : "Suicide la self-
murder. If committed when Insane the
sulclda Is not held responsible In the sight
of a just God. only so far as the Insajilty Is
the result of known and Intentional sins. If
committed when In a sane state of mind It
Is the act of a cowardly murderer , and
nothing can Justly be said in Us justifica
tion , and It must and should meet the same
punishment In the future as If another per
son had been murdered Instead of self. As
to whether this horrible crime Is ever com
mitted by n sane person Is a question about
which I have no doubt. Some people da
murder their fellow men , and he who would
murder another would , under certain cir
cumstances , murder himself. Were all good
people and the pulpit and press to denounce
this crime -and not undertake to palliate and
excuse It there would be less of It.
Itev. L. Groh of the Lincoln Lutheran
church denounces sulcldo unsparingly. He
writes : "Thou shall not kill any person
Suicide Is murder. Deliberate murder Is sin
against God and man. It a sane person
violently ends his own life he Is n criminal
Religious Indifference and unbelief Increase
the number ot suicides. Intelligence without
Christ Is no remedy against It. Compare
statistics between cultured France and un
tutored Spain. Kven superstition In this re
spect Is better than lack of all faith. As
anarchists and violent unbelievers Increase
In our land this crime Increases. Seestatis
tics. That Is logical , why should one who
thinks death ends all bear the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune ? Will a sane
person murder himself ? Certainly many do
unless you hold all to bo beside themselves
who are out of God and Christ. Roman and
Greek regard It aa honorable ; BO do many
French and others. It Is n cowardly act. "
JOD , PAUL AND PLINY.
Rev. Robert L. Wheeler , pastor of the
South Omaha Presbyterian church , wrltca :
"Sulcldo Is the climax of n sinful life , unless
ono'H reason Is dethroned by Impaired health
Job'a wife Bald : 'Curse God and die , ' bul
Job pleaded his Integrity and a Sovereign God
upheld him , as Ho will any man who puts
his trust In Jehovah. Paul had mor * sorrow
from 'Old King Trouble' than Job , and Pau
said : 'I llvo ; yet not I , but Christ llveth In
me. ' Suicide Is wicked , because it Interferes
with God's plnn with the individual life , and
Is a confession on the part of man that the
devil Is mightier than the Son ot God , '
Rev. Edward H. Curtis , D.D. . pastor of one
of the Presbyterian churches of Lincoln , re
calls the night Paul and Silas spent In jal
at rtilllppl , and writes : "Paul said to the
Phlllpplan Jailer , when ho was about to com
rait sulcldo In true Roman fashion : 'Do thy
self no harm. ' That Is the spirit ot Chris
tlnnlty. Life was given us by our Create :
to bo preserved nnd uted as a sacred trust
we therefore bave no right to Burrcnder I
at our own caprice , or when tor any reason
It has become burdensome to us. Self-murde :
la the betrayal ot a trust which God alone
lias the right to recall. Self-murder Is the
cowardly abandonment of our station In tin
battle ol Ma without the consent ot ou :
ConiAnandcr-ln-Chlef. It is , therefore , elthe
insanity or sin. "
P B .n philosophy gives Her. N. Cbesme
of the Fremont Prcibyterljn church i
thoupht. He- writes : "Jregara suicide as i
tfbwardl/ way for & man to rid himself of th
trlali of lift. . It I * a orltno ugxlnit God , wh
controls ths affairs ot this fitt , and agslnst
roan's own eoul , the elder Pliny says :
'Among thwo o great erlli th& test ) thing
God hat bestowed upon men U the Dower to
take hU own llf * . ' Tliti will do % th * dictum
of ftu effeti fhlloaopb- , but Hardly e an
expression of Chrlsthtn sentiment In this
enlightened ago ; suicide Is i violation ot
man's most sacred rights. First , It Is con
trary to the express declaration * of Cod's
holy taw. Second , 1C Is contrary to the moral
convictions of mankind , Third , It Is a. crime
against a man's family , Fourth , an expres
sion of the basest cowardice. "
CHANCELLOR CANFIKLD'S STAND.
Chancellor James H. Canfleld of the Uni
versity of Nebraska puts his views very
tersely : "I have but a moment to spare for
your question , 'Is sulcldo a sin ? ' and am re
minded by It of the question asked by LolRh
Hunt In one of his stories. 'What would bethought
thought , ' he says , 'of a horse that at the end
ifo every furrow should look anxiously around
to the stable as If desirous of getting his
harness off ? ' I think that no man who has
any Just appreciation of the duties and re
sponsibilities ot Ufa will commit suicide. "
Her. John Hewitt. I ) , U. , pastor of the
Holy . Trinity , Lincoln , explains the attitude
of the Episcopal church thus : "My Indi
vidual opinions on the subject of suicide are
of r0 no Importance to the public. In answering
your question , therefore , I will confine my
self to a statement as to the attitude of the
Kplscopal church toward suicides , That at
titude I think Is fully expressed jn the- law
concerning the use of her burial
odlco. The lav say * : 'Hero Is to be noted
that the office ensuing ( the burial office ) Is
not to be used for any unbaptlzod adults ,
any who die excommunicate , or who lay
violent hands upon themselves. ' Suicides are
divided Into two classes , those who have wil
fully murdered themselves , and those who
have killed themselves while In a state of
Insanity. But the law of the church applies
only to the first named class. The sulcldo
Is a murderer ; and St. John says by the
spirit that 'no murderer hath eternal life
abiding in him. ' This being so , the hope
a joyful resurrection Is cut off. Hence the
ofllce which expresses that hope In commit *
ting htm to the ground cannot be used. So
far as Christians are concerned this seems
.o determine the morality of the act of sui
cide. If there Is any other1 standard by which
"t Is measured , It is one which the blbld
Christians cannot accept , "
Rev. D. R. Dungan. A. M. , Lti.D. , chancel-
or of Cotncr university , Lincoln , writes !
'First , suicide la murder. Second , cowardly ,
as It shrinks from facing facts In futurd
events. Third , robs the people of their proparty
'n the man murdered. Fourth , robs the fam
ily of the help and support it should have.
Fifth , the doctrine which Justifies It extends
to tliojo who cause the- oppression , hence It
is a part of nihilism. The source : First , ma
terialism , unlvorsatlsm , unlUrlanlsm , spirit
ualism , The remedy : First , respect , for self
and others. Second , sympathy , help , heart ,
hope. Third , a proper sense of the sin.
Fourth , a wholesome faith In future punish
ment. These would save all but the insane
and Irresponsible. "
Rev. B. E. Fife , pastor of the United Pres
byterian church of Lincoln didn't go far for
his authority. "The teaching of the sixth
commandment , 'Thou shalt not kill , ' has al
ways seemed to me to furnish sufficient
answer to all questions on the subject. "
There wore many other Interesting letters In
the collection , which were read by Hev. Dr.
Tjeall during his discourse. ,

"The Police Inspector , " the newest of the
stage | stories to exploit phases of police life
In | New York , and for that matter all over
the country , for the police departments of
all ; metropolitan cities are largely patterned
after ; the Gotham Institution , was given a
hearing yesterday at the Fifteenth Street
theater. Inspector Byrnes , whose name Is a
terror to wrongdoers and whoso skirts romaln
absolutely ! clean even under the close scru
tiny of a Lexow committee , stands as the
typo ] for the hero of. the performance now
being 1 given at the Fifteenth Street Ihcatar.
The play deaht with Incidents of the seamy
side ot life In the metropolis , and the author ,
Mr. Will R. Wilson , an erstwhile police re
porter on one of the New York dailies , has
made n close sttidy of the modern Vldgcq ,
with entire credit to himself , even though
ho has allowed the sensational to run nvv.iy
with the dramatic situations sometimes. It
It a play absolutely suited to the patrons of
Mr. Burgess * theater and two Immense
houses testified appreciation of tbo perform
ances yesterday.
Inspector Byrnes , who Is Impersonated by
Ogden Stevens , is herein represented , as a
man of undaunted courage , a champion of
the weak and oppressed , n relentless fee to
all criminals and a detender of the fair sex
wherever a strong arm and a stout heart
are needed. The actor who is entrusted with
the. duty of playing the Inspector has un
doubtedly made Mr. Byrnes n very close
study , for In make-up , and even In voice , he
Is much like the original of the picture.
' "The Police Inspector , " Is primarily a
'character study and innyho the men nnd
women who are "klnetoscoped" for the pleas
_ ure of the audience are but witnesses of the
power of Inspector Byrnes , but somewhat
distorted for stage purposes by their anti
types. The drama might , with perfect Jus
tice , bo called "The Road of the Rough , "
for Byrnes makes It very warm for all
wroncdoers who come within his official
power.
Tliero are a number of clever specialties
Introduced to relieve somewhat the atmos
phere surcharged ) with "crooks , " burglars ,
murderers and others of like kidney , making
altogether a good show for those who de
light lu having their feelings harrowed
by dark deeds and heroic sslf-sacrlllces. up

PARIS PAST AND PRESENT
A Panorama or tbo Second Empire and Iho
Third Republic ,
NOTABLE CHANGES IN FORTY YEARS
The Stolid Itmperor ami Itli lirlilo In nn
Open Itiirouchr , tlio Kvo of ttnr , the '
lnll of tlio Kmplro nntl the Ito-
public nil II Is Toclny ,
I have seen Paris several times at very
Interesting epochs , writes Clinton Locke In
the Non- York livening Post. It may not be
tiresome to recall a few ot the Incidents.
My first visit to Paris dates bafk forty-one
years. It was not then , ns now , Hooded
with Americans. There wore none of thosa
signs which are now so plentiful ! "American
Bar , " American Drinks. " There were no
American ' .hurches , and the Paris papers did
not contain any articles on "L'Amcrlcanlsa-
tlon do Paris. " Comparatively few ot our
I countrymen crossed the ocean , nnd there was
only one line of steamers from New York , the |
Collins line. We would think It very slow
today , but the bouts wore comfortable.
Something was wrong about the manage
ment , for they nil came to grief. It was
the time ot the second empire , 1S53 , and the
new emperor was very popular. Ho had
bean married only a short time , and the
Crimean war had not yet begun. The cm-
poror's fete day occurred while I was there ,
and I enjoyed to the full the festivities , for
I was only 23 , eager to see , and , as I spoke
French fluently , able to appreciate what I
saw and heard , Though Paris was not then
what It Is now lor the wonderful and mag
nificent changes Louis Napoleon made tn It
were as yet on paper , and the lovely Bols Oe
Boulogne had not been laid out yet In com
parison with New York It was as wine to
water , and my own city , Chicago , was then
only an otergrowu village of ugly wooden
houses.
EMPEHOIl AND BIHDE.
Two things connected with that day stand
out in my memory. Ono was the ride of
the emperor and empress through the streets
In an open barouche. There were no guards
near them , and the crowd pressed close up
to the carriage , so close that men could take
the emperor's hand and kiss It. I was not
four feet from It , and ran along by its Bide
for nearly a block. On the front seat sat the
emperor and a gentleman , on the back seat
the empress with a Indy. On his face there
was no sign of emotion. Ho wore the 1m-
porturablo mask he always xvore , and looked
dull and stolid , ns he always looked. The
empress was deadly pale. She was beauti
fully dressed , and her veil was thrown up ,
but she Iccpt her eyes closed most of the
time , undoubtedly from fear. Ono could1 not
blame her , for any one could easily have
stabbed or shot her or iho emperor. The
carriage had to go at a foot pace for fear ot
hurting some one , and there was ample time
for any fanatic to accomplish his purpose.
It must have been a horrlblb ride for her , In
splto of the shouts of applause which
every
where followed them.
The other thing I recollect was tne tlght-
rope dancing of Mme. Saqul In the Place < le
la Concorde. It was not that.the tight rope was
any novelty to us Americana , but the per
former was nearly 70 years of ago , nnd had
performed often before the Parisians of the
first empire at this same fete and In this
same place. You could not have believed that
a person so aged could be so ugllo.
I next saw Paris In 1SG5. It was the ttmo
of the
second
universal
exposition , the
sec
end ot the grand scries
, begun by Prince
Albert , and which culminated In the Chicago
exposition of 1893. Of course It could not
bo compared with that , but , at the time , It
was a magnlflccht spectacle , and crowds from
all parts of Europe necked to see It. The
Palace of Industry in the Champs BIysces.
now used for the yearly exhibition of pic
tures , was built
for this exposition , and I
was In Paris on the day It was opened by
the emperor and empress. Again I stood
near them as they alighted from their car
riage , he , as before , stolid , without one
trace of triumph on his face , although Itvas
a very proud moment for him ; she , not
paralyzed with fear as before , but radiant
with beauty and Joy and grace , as lovely
and as interesting a woman as could be
fount ! in the world every inch an
em
press. Kven In the two years since
my
last visit , and with all the expense nnd
worry of tha Crimean war , very much had
been done to beautify the city , and the
pageant on the Champs Elysees every day
was worth a long Journey to behold.
TH13 EVE OP WAH.
I next saw Paris In 1S70 , memorable year ,
for It was the year of the Prussian war , and
I was In the fated city on the very day that
war was declared , July 19 , I happened that
evening to be at the Theater Trancals , the
homo of Mollere. The play was "A Lion In
Love. " At the end of the second act the
audience , vilio were evidently laboring under
great excitement , rose as one man , and
shouted for the- " "
the"Marseillaise. . There was
some delay on the stage , but at last the
manager came forward and said there \vas
nobody ready to sing It , but In a day or
two It would bo given. And It was , and was
a great nuisance , for every evening1 the play
was Interrupted , and the whole company
gathered on tha stage around Mile , Agar or
Mile. Sass , and sang the famous hymn , the
whole audience Joining In the chorus. If
one can get tired of a tune , I did of that.
It had been forbidden for many yeaM , and
It seemed as If the Parisians could never got
enough ot It. You heard It everywhere
from bands , from groups at the corners ot
the streets , from regiments as they marched
to the station. I remember being : on the
top of nn omnibus , and the- people In the
street surprised a famous tenor also sitting
there. They made the driver stop , and the
tenor had to stand up and sing the old song
amid wild excitement. It was a very Frenchy
sight. All day and all night you heard
the cry , "A Berlin. " My sympathies were
entirely with the French , and I thought.
Just as they did , that It would be a "walk
over. " How little I or they knew about it.
In a few days the air grew thick with
rumors , and I noticed how careworn and
anxious the empress regent looked as she
drove past tht ! hotel on her way to St. Cloud.
All night long the windows In the Imperial
apartments blasted with light , and the boule
vards swarmed with gossiping crowds. All
foreigners were leaving , It was too great a
risk to stay any longer , and I went to
Switzerland.
FALL OF TUB EMPIRE.
Some weeks after , colnn from Basle to
Heidelberg ] , I passed In the railway near
enough i to eee the bombs bursting In the
air ' , and a group of peasants , who had striven
by ' force of firms , to defend their little
property ' from the Germans , were brought
as j prisoners and put on our train , their
hands tlod behind their backs , and they
were covered with blood from their wounds.
How my blood boiled ! They had only done
what any man would do , defended their
own , nnd war never loolif.l , o hideous to
me as then. A week or two after that , us
I was nearlng Vienna from Trieste , the con
ductor of the train sold to me : "Napoleon
has surrendered ; the empire Is over , " It
was a great shock. Soon after that Purls w s
invested. We sailed from Liverpool In great
anxiety as to what her fate would bo , and I
remember well that the very first question
wo called out to the pilot , before he had
time to put hla foot on deck , was , "Has
Paris been taken ! "
I next saw Paris In the year ISSS. The
empire had vanished Into nothingness and
the republic was In full swing , It was again
the I4th of July , the national fete day , ami I
went to see what to me was very amuxlng ,
but which the Frenchmen seemed to think
was very pathetic and snul-atlrrlng. On the
Place de la Concord * are several carved marble
ble- figures , seated on throngs representing
the great cltle * of France , One of them Is *
Strasbourg , and It Is the cuitom now on the
national f 8ttval for different fcocletlw to
march to this statue , make speeches there ,
cry a little , embrace each oilier , put fresh
craps on the figure's haad , take away the
withered wreaths and put up fresh ones ,
shout "Vive la Franca , " sing "Oh , ma
patrle" and other national odes , and gen
erally make a fuss , As I said , I thought It
was vwy womanish and very Frenchy. Cer
tainly nothing more unsmerlcan could well
be Imagined. Tb y have lost the clly ; let JI
ttieui grin and biar U , and try ons of tbe o
days to 61 II back. This mourning over II
nnd getting Into frenir Around A itatu *
IR very childish nnd unworthy of bravo men ,
THE IIEP.UULIO TODAY ,
The next lime I saw Par ! ) was In IhU
year < , 1891 , anil at the same tlm of the year.
How beautiful It looked as I drove through
ittl , just ftt sunset , to my hotel. The demo of
tltt Invaldos looked on It It wcra on Pro , and
tha top of the Vcndome column nnd the
lower of St. Jacques , and the pavilions of the \
Louvre , glowed nnd sparkled as If tiled with f
burnished gold. The vistas up nnd down
the river wcro us flno na ot old , but the
trees had grown nnd th leafy avenues , the *
glowing beds of flowers , the spacious boule
vards , Rnve a charm to the already lovely
city I had never before Imagined. I had
been In Parts but a few days when that aw
ful tragedy occurred which startled the whole
world , the murder of President Carnot. I
had never believed much in the French re
public. It seemed ( o mo like children playIng -
Ing with edged tools ; but when I witnessed
the calmness , tha steadiness with which this
excitable Paris bore that great shock , nnJ-
wlth what ease and trnnqulllty the election
Ol Garnet's ' successor was effected , It gave mo
a confidence I never had had before that tha
republic had como to stay. I saw the funeral
procession from A balcony In tlm Rue do
Rlvoll , nnd a most Interesting sight It was ,
There were but few soldiers , for what reason
I do not know , but there were plenty ol
other "assistants , " on the French say , and ;
It wns curious to see all the oRlclnl bodies
of Franco In their various uniforms , not the
least thing being the Judges and professors
In robes of bright orange , lined with ermlnatf-
01 with squirrel skins , and with sections of
orange-colored stoveplpo on their heads. The
Kronen are great at funerals. If they had no
uniforms , they put on evening dress nnd A
high hat , and they all walk. The flowers
were the most wonderful sight of the kind
I ever saw. The cnormoun slzo of the
wreathe , some of them so heavy that four
horses had to draw them , the thousands ol
them , for every hamlet almost In Franco had
sent ono , to say nothing of the schools and
societies and odlclnl bodies , all combined to
make a spectacle not soon to bo forgotten.
trw Pantheon , where the murdered president
was laid to rest , Is a magnificent tomb for
any man. There are few statollor buildings
Ir this city of grand and noble architecture.
