The French Revolution. - M'j * HE people are In revoltl* * asked the amazed King Louis XVI. And Count Mlrabeau, wiser than his royal master, replied: "Sire, this Is no revolt It is a revolution." After the fall of the Pantile the nation had awaited further developments. Politicians wrangled, finances became more and more entangled. Queen Marie Antoinette continued to meddhs^wlth affairs of state which she did not" understand, famine and misery stalked abroad, and the news of the Bastile's destruction spread through France, everywhere stirring op the masses to courage and fnry. At this juncture the king, advised by his wife, made one of his costly blunders. Although his people were starving, and although more than ever betters he needed the loyalty of his native soldiers, he gave a great and exiSenslve banquet at Versailles to his foreign troops. This was the last straw. The National Guard, led by Lafayette and preceded by a mighty mob of angry women, marched from Paris to Versailles on October 5, 1789, attacked the Versailles palace and dragged the king and his wife and son back to Paris with them. Again a wrangle of politicians. Louis had a chance to save bis throne If he would consent to become a constitutional monarch, but Marie Antoinette and the advisers with which she surrounded him would not hear of such a thing. So the foolish king, by once more yielding to his wife's demands, hastened on to the doom that awaited him and his. National Guard regiments were formed all over the country In the name of the people. In the rural districts bands of peasants settled old scores against the masters who had oppressed them by butchering whole families of aristocrats snd burning and looting their castles. Noblemen, from royalty down, began fleeing from France by the hundreds, In tear for their Uvea. Meantime, In Paris a body known as the assembly drew up a "Declaration of the Rights of Man," based partly on our own Declaration of Independence. Its keynote was "equality.'* It proclaimed the freedom of fell men, the sovereignty of the nation, religious tolerance, fair laws and the abolition of aristocracy and privilege. To this declaration Louis would not subscribe. Marie Antoinette regarded fts claims as insane. Louis secretly appealed to his fellow-sovereigns of Europe, and a foreign alliance was formed to Invade France and reinstate the king. The royal family sought to escape over the frontier on June 29, 1791, but were caught and brought back. After this Louis consented to •wear to the Constitution, and was reinstated. But he continued to plot with foreign powers. The allies marched against Franco, and famine again swept the land. This double grievance maddened the jpeople, and they took matters In their own hands. A mob sacked the Tufl erles (the king's residence in Paris), massacred the Swiss guard, who sought to defend their master, and Imprisoned the roysl family. Louis was suspended from office, and In November, 1T92, was brought to trial. By a vote of 887 to 834 he was condemned to death. All titles had been abolished, so under the name of "Citizen Louis Oapet" the unfortunate monarch was beheaded January 21, 1793. In the same year the Reign of Terror set |n. Aristocrats were guillotined by scores and hundreds, Marie Antoinette was beheaded, and her son secretly put to desth In prison. While the allies were preparing to invade France, civil war, accompanied by massacres and other atrocities, broke out and weakened the already demoralized country. Another drawback to military success was that heretofore all officers of the French army had been noblemen. These had (led or been beheaded, leaving the army ofllcerless. The republic's officers were men promoted from the ranks solely by merit When they proved Incompetent their soldiers refused to obey them, and often even shot them. Reslizlng that France'* welfare and very existence In this crisis depended on her soldiers, the republic granted the army all sorts of privileges and made It an object of adoration. The newly reorganized French army. In the Revolution, turned on its allied foes and in battle after battle whipped the best disciplined troops of Europe, finally splitting the alliance against France. Marat Danton and Robespierre were the three prime movers in the Reign of Terror. Each of the trio used the othej, two for his own ends, and each sought to be dictator of the stricken country. Marat merciles* and bestial, was murdered by Charlotte Corday, whose lover he had executed. Danton, kindest and most human of the three, was routed by Robespierre and beheaded. Robespierre-- dandy, bloodless. Incorruptible, deadly and yet visionary--became practically dictator of Frence. But In 1794 he in turn was deposed and guillotined. And now. amid the chaos, confusion of wild schemes and conflicting experiments In self-government, arose a man. Perhaps the greatest th« world has ever seen. Napoleon Bonaparte.
