without .trial, compenststiun or apel-
ogy. But it ;must be remembered
thati not all were innocent. 0114 the
actiun uf the republic in releasing
all withoul exceptimi and baeish-
ing 11 few is certainly a generous
erne . All the; more so in view of the
provocation received in the shape
of many home truthe and Home ex-
aggerations during the cainpaige
waged in favor of an amnesty for
the last twelve menthe.
Dom J1.4.10 d'Alineida and the
Conde de Mangualde, for instance,
admit that the republic would have
been justified in putting them to
death. The former3las been impri-
soned for eighteen months, the lat-
ter for .unly a few weeks. Since the
amnesty i14 made general, it would
be unfair to dwell on flame facts in
the past whieh would have prevent-
ed any but a general amnesty Diem
being accepted by public opinion,
It would, too, be a great mistake
to deduce the charaeter f the bill,
which beeame law at a juint sitting
of the two Houses of Parliantent
this week, from the somewhat grud-
ging terms in which it is drawn 1131.
It woeld have been simpler and
•quicker to adopt. Senor Machado
Santo's bill filready before Parlia-
ment, instead of wasting tett clays 111
roundabout manoeuvres. But 11 the
Democrata have chosen once more
to show their pettiness, and if the
untried prisoners are to be tried
after their release, this dues not
affect the main result, of the mea-
sure, which is that not a single
political primmer; will remain in
prison.
All to Be Tried Later.
Indeed, the clause which decrees
the subsequent; trial of these pri-
soners is rather foolish than -unjust.
To the prisoners accused of the
time-honored eharge of conspiracy
the trials will only be a slight. In-
convenience, and even if they are
round guilty they cannot be impri-
soneel. To the republic it May well
be a source of fresh discredit, em-
phasizing, 118 these 111010 will, th
iniquity of having kept -these hun-
dreds, (they number Rollie gix h)1n-
dred) of persons so many months in
prison.
The amnesty, however, sliould
now herald a period of less petti-
twee and suepicion. Public opinion
Mt [mad certainly does not favor
Royalist eollepieacies, and from te-
slay it will condemn them with es-
pecial eeverity. Further, the Roy-
alises themsett es are beginning to
realize that their wisest -course is to
let the republic, entirely alone. They
eegard it as a elique baited on the
indifference of the country. IV lodge
in a garden of cucumbers, and as
such it may be left to work out ite
0W11 salvation. But if the amnesty
is followed by a spirit of toter:then
in matters political and religiens
the repoblie will win over public
opinion both .abismil and in Plinth -
gal. 11 will then he vain for the
Illoyaliets to pipe, since the Portu-
guese people will ranee to dance
to their piping.
The next two yenrs will probably
show whether or nota the republic
can survise the denial Of statesmen
and' the stress of pithy factione so
clearly eh -own during the recent, cri-
sis. Probably the best eolutien
would be a broad-minded and tol-
mane republic, ill which all Portu-

One of the tributes to Haeckel on
las eiglitieth birthday was the
grand cross of the. Erneetine Order,
given to him by the Dukes 13 Saxe -
Al °ban ge n Saxe -Al tertburg and
Saxe -Gotha. It happens that) this
order carries with it the right to
hereditary nobility if the .decorated
cares to claim the right.
The German press has heed won-
dering what . Haeekel, one of the
leaders of Liberal opinkm, would
do. Be has settled the agitation
by a letter, in 11,111011 he save: "Of
course, I am not going to put in
any such claim, like my grandfather
Settle, who, when seventy years agu
he was given the Black Eagle by
Frederick William IV.. also re-
eounced hereditary nobility."
Settle was a distinguished jurist
in the early clays of the nineteenth
eentury, who on Line occasion fell
foul of Napoleon. Hatockel'e Mende
are delighted with his dignified
stand against 0 snobbishness which
is at least as common nowadays in
Germany as in England.
