Show SPIRIT OF REVOLT IN EUROPE the san francisco chronicle says the condition of things in europe however fair on the international horizon la far from peaceful lu the sphere of domestic politics in france there are signs that another revolution la brewing and in germany the socialists have taken a tone toward the emperor that they have rarely it ever publicly assumed before all this with inter turbulence in spain and austria and a mob ever ready to rise in the cities and towns of italy leaves the optimists with more to explain away than they can reasonably account for most interest however centers in france where all disruptive agencies are at work including some that have not in past times figured among the enemies of order the army is openly discontented as is the personal following of the president over the proposed revision of the dreyfus case and it Is quite possible when revision comes that they may take matters into their own hands imperialists are plotting and monarchists arc in high feather while more menacing than all are the workingmen out upon a strike which they declare means an economic revolution and which they are coni ducting in defiance of the laws taking it all in all there is an ominous resemblance between these threatening activities and the events that led up to the coup of napoleon III except that no leader has yet appeared competent to ride the whirlwind and direct the storm but as is pointed out by a parisian newspaper he may appear in the person of a general who will carve a triumph oat of street massacres and make victory the preface to a monarchist restoration with matters in such a difficult shape it is hardly to be supposed that the azars czars disarmament conference will reach any definite results while the mob is forming the troops must be ready and it would be the height of folly at such a time to augment the mob by tens of thousands of disbanded soldiers |
