Prince Jerome Napoleon does not mend matters for his dynasty

by his irritable temper. He has just addressed a letter to -his constituents in Corsica, in which he says that the Napo- leons "twice saved the country and preserved the revolution, by imposing on it the social guarantees without which every State falls into dissolution, and that on two occasions the suffrages of France approved their acts." "We are feared," he- goes on ":because apart from the Napoleons, there are but two minorities,—one of these wants order without democracy, and the other, democracy without order." But not even one minority would wish for a Napoleon without order ;—and such :a Napoleon would in all probability be Prince Jerome.
