The New French government.

The Minister of War and President
of the committee Of Defense is General
Trochu, and since he is the only man
in France who held high political
power two days ago and is still permit
ted to hold it to-day, it must he that, in
his place of immense responsibility and
labor, he has not been found wanting
He is soldier and good one, expert
enced in arms and an able critic in mil
itary affairs. He had fought eighteen
campaigns in the field, in Algiers, Italy,
and the Crimea, and is the author Of the
famous work on the French army
which first revealed its weaknesses to
Europe. He is tifty-fve years Of age,
and is still thought capable of enduring
long the prodigious labors his situation
imposes, while, more perhaps than any
other man in France, he commands the
confidence of the people in his patriot
ism and truth. He is believed to have
at heart the cause OF the Orleans family.
Jules Favre, the minister of foreign
affairs, is six wears older, but still stout
and strong. For forty years he has
been the resolUte opponent OF kingCratt
in every form, and for nearly a genera.
ton has been recognized as the foremost
republican orator of France Fearless
in every emergency, he has faced the
Emperor in the height Of lis power
coming forward in 1858 to defend Orsini
for attempting to assassinate Napoleon,
and for the last eleven years heading
the forlorn hope of the republican op-
position in the Legislative Assembly.
He is finished writer and a member
Of the academy, and is believed bv his
friends 70 have the genius of a states
man, although the government of 1913,
in which he acted as under-secretarv Of
foreign affairs, was failure.
Pierre Magne, the new minister OF
finance, has had long experience in the
office, having served the Emperor in il
from 1854 to 1860 and again from So =
to the beginning Of the present year,
when Olivier came into power. He is
a successful fnancier, and although he
has not been prominently associated
with the policy of personal govern
ment, vet he has been loaded with all
the honors the empire had to give. He
is sixty-four years OF age.
Jules Simon, the Minister of Public
Instruction, has always been a moderate
Republican, but has gained his great
reputation chiefly in the advocacy OF
popular education and his appoint
ment indicates a purpose TO do awav
with the widespread illiteracy and ig
norance which have 50 long been the
disgrace of the nation.
Cremieux, the Minister of Justice
is an old man, a great lawyer, an effect
i've orator, and a political economist o
influence He held the same office ir

Gambetta, the Minister of the Inter
ior, is the youngest member of the gov
vernment, born, it is said, in 1880. H

as the fiercest OF the 'irreconcilable

why France has been so much outnum

You remember that, fourteen or tifteeI

Well. what has been done? While
the traffic in men was in the hands OF
private companies the government took
care to have their substitutes, since they
had no interest in suppressing them.
But, turned dealers themselves, their
interest lay at once in different direc-
ton. Well, they have just done this:
taken the money from the POCKET of
families and put it into their own, and
buttoned them carefully up. The sub
stitute money has not bought substi-
tute. Just observe monsieur, the effect
of this. The right number of men
have not been upon paper. To the
public. who knew nothing OF the dis
honest transaction, the companies Of
our regiments were a hundred strong;
and consequently the regiment, they
believed, had each 1900 men nnder the
flag. But what was the actual truth ?
Why l can give YOU any number Of in
stances where the actual available men
were not more than thirty to the com

were at their full strength would barely
muster eighteen hundred fighting men,

Criticism Oh Jules Favrc.s Circular

ST. PETERSBUGH, September 9.-The
journals of this city and semiotlicial
organs say in relation to Jsles Favrc :
late circular The French government
carries patriotism too far if rather
than Weld the Notifications and soil no
longer valuable, it invokes war OF ex-
termination. Prussia will naturally
exact double guarantees TO secure It's
noble victories. 1t is difficult to ap-
preciate the language of NJ Fawe, he
asserts that the cause of France against
Prussia, is that of right and justice,
when only in July his language was
precisely the reverse.
