CLEMENCEAU'S; GREAT HATE.
'WAR TO THE DEATH
WITH KINGS."
Those who want to know what kind of a man Clemenceau was will find some clues in a short study. of his life, Tho Tiger-Georges Clemencenu," by Mr. George Adam, an English journalist in Paris, which was published last month in London.
Clemenceau was a Jacobin, He was the watch-dog of the repub lic. He knew in his youth Joseph Cormier, who had been a friend of Marat-besida whom some pro- ple think Robespierre was almost anangel! Clemenceau's father was arrested under Napoleon III.
Clemenceau himself was arrested nt a later period under Napoleon III. He was a "son of the Revolu tion," and he had a deadly hatred of royalism, which in France was the enemy of the republic.
The Tiger-Spring,
Fe made his tiger-spring and brought down Ministry after Minis- tvy simply becauss be believed that one Ministry after another was failing the republic. He became Premier at last, to save the repub. lie.

His savage hatred of royalism is illustrated in a letter which Mr. Adam quotes. Clemenceau' wrote it to a woman at the time when the Archduke Maximilian, who tried to set up es Emperor of Mexico, had been shot by the Mexi rans. The Empress Charlotte, Maximilian's wife, went inad äfter. Mavimilian was killed.
"Good"heavens!" wrote Clemen- cean I naturally know, that all such folk are always charming! I Krant you that at the start; they have been that for five or six thous and years...

"Would you marry a stupid man į thing: all these emperors, kings,if he had money!" archdukes, and princes are great,
"How much have you?" sublime, generous and superb, and their princesses are everything you like to think of them.
"But I hate them with a merci- less hatred, with the hatred of 1793, when people called that idiot Louis XVI. an execrable tyrant.
"Between us and such people there is war to the death.
Maximilian wanted to commit arent crime. He has been killed by those he wanted kill. I am delighted. His wife is mad: there could be nothing more just," It almost makes me believe in Provi- dence."
