The solution, he began to think, had arrived at last from the recognition that there were, after all, only two logical theories of government: the one, that power came from below, the other, that power came from above. The infidel, the Socialist, the materialist, the democrat, these maintained the one; the Catholic, the Monarchist, the Imperialist maintained the other.

To this charge Hobbes returns again and again, even declaring that "the universities have been to this nation as the Wooden Horse was to the Trojans." And the uncompromising monarchist of the Leviathan, himself a classicist of no mean attainments, as may be known by his translation of Thucydides, was not deceived in his accusation.

More than two-thirds of the members chosen by France to organize her new republic were monarchists! The name monarchist at that time comprehended three distinct parties, each with a powerful following, namely: The LEGITIMISTS, acting in the interest of the direct Bourbon line, represented by the Count of Chambord, the grandson of Charles X., called by his party Henry V.

And back into office in Virginia is brought that staunch old monarchist, Sir William Berkeley first by a royalist Assembly and presently by commission from the new King.

The Comtesse de Chambord despised and disliked the family of Orleans, and the Monarchist party in France still remained divided into Legitimists and Orleanists, the latter protesting that they only desired a constitutional sovereign, and did not hold to the doctrine of right divine. The Comte de Chambord died Aug. 24, 1883. His malady was cancer in the stomach, complicated by other disorders.

"He is not a popular man in our world," she remarked. "One speaks of him as a schemer." "Is there anything left to scheme for in France?" Peter asked, carelessly. "He is, perhaps, a monarchist?" "His ancestry alone would compel a devoted allegiance to royalism," the Duchesse declared, "but I do not think that he is interested in any of these futile plots to reinstate the House of Orleans.

I have faithfully studied all the important contemporary chroniclers and later historians Dutch, Flemish, French, Italian, Spanish, or German. Catholic and Protestant, Monarchist and Republican, have been consulted with the same sincerity.

Neither Britain nor France in this struggle has produced better statesmen nor better generals than the German autocracy. The British and French Foreign Offices are old monarchist organizations still. To this day the British and French politicians haggle and argue with the German ministers upon petty points and debating society advantages, smart and cunning, while the peoples perish.

I know for that ole Chicago show! You are the five hundred American who has said that to me this summer! Number five hundred! Nossir, we don't lend those carriage. We don't even drive them ourself." "No more kings and queens nowadays," remarked Mr. Hinkson, "this century's got no use for them." I think the guide was a Monarchist.
