very effective speech, repented 31. Theers's argu-
ment that science was always progressing, :ul,l
that the transformation of arms should be con-
sidered not as an extraordinary cause of expendi-
ture,. o!y
but an ordinary one which n,. .•,,ust
recur. But, unlike M. Thiers, M. Emile
Olken r
did not admit the necessity for the large aruly
which the Emperor keeps up. He strongly c In-
tended that expenses should be met by tax i-

had always done, namely, carrying on w.er

The reason why it did so was that, as war in th
days was always unpopular, it sought to curry
favour by spending money among the worklle
classes when it declared war, and then boasted:
" What a great nation France is, she is able to carry
on war and gigantic peace works at the same time:'
If the system were persevered in it must inevitably
lead, not, he would hope, to bankruptcy, beet CPI--
tainly to paper-money, most disastrous expedient,
and taxation which perhaps the people would not
bear.

It is nmioured that M. Roulier will shortly I.
reatell %-iee-president of the Privy Council and of
the Colima of Ministers. This dein go would
make M. Roular a greater grand vizier them ever
is represented in some quarters as a step thwart.:
ministerial responsibility and parliamentary go-
vernment.

The united journals the Constitediutinel and l'qqa
announce to their shareholders the unpleasant news
that in spite of various reductions of expenditure,
there will be no dividend for the half year ending
June 30. The Liberte fastens upon this fact as
confirmatory of the saying of M. E. do Girarilin
that the law on the liberty of the press only con-
ferred the liberty of ruining oneself by starting a
journal. The "illegal" monopoly of the Moniteur,
whose two editions pay neither stamp nor postage
duty, and get the most valuable advertisements,
tends necessarily, the I'resse avers, to mince the
Paris press within a period of not more than two
years to a few journals receiving subventions
frein secret service money for defending the policy
of government.
