Another reckless and luck.ess street car pas
senger jumped from the front platform into
eternity yesterday. The amazing stupidity
that rnns the risk of such a perilOus leap is
only narsIleIed by the kindred stupidity that
oonrts combustion by holding kerosene can
over half-kindled fire. The latter phase of
folly is doubtless quite beyond the reach of
any legal preventive, but something can, and
something should be done speedily to check
these front platform" slaughters. 1t is not
the drunken and the careless only that pay
the penalty but tho most active are at the
mercy of a chance misstep or loose paving
stone, and more than one valuable life has
been sacrificed in this mantrap during the
past fortnight. The remedy lies wholly in the
hands of the railway managers, and if they
will not voluntarily fence in their front plat
forms, or, better still. reduce them to mere
standing places for drivers, they should be
compelled by ordinance to make the needed
change without further delay.

Leather at az small profit as though
there were no duty upon it-and this,
we cannot doubt, is the fact. Abolish the
Tariff tomorrow and some Leather would
doubtless flow in from abroad; but our vast
supply of cheap tanning material countervails
the European advantage of cheap labor, so
that we shall always make most of the Leather
we consume, Tariff or no Tariff And its price,
like that of Corn, or Lime, or Charcoal, Is
fixed by considerations of cost-of supply and
demand-scarcely affected by the Tariff.
What the repeal of the Tariff would do for
the Leather business is simply this-it would
gradually transfer our great Tanneries to the
hemlock forests and lumber-camps of the Can
adas, run them by Canadian labor, and send
the Shoe bosses for their raw material to Mon
treal and Ottawa instead of New-YOrk. That
may not be very bad thing to do by-and-by,
when another million acres of our still super
abundant hemlocks have given place to dairy
and sheep-farms, and when Canada shall have
become part of the Union. For the present,
IL must wait,

THE MAGEANIMITY or THE REPUBLIC

THE MAGNANIMITY OF THE REPUBLIC.
The frankness of Mr. Tbiers seems well
adapted to the political situation in France.
The deranged condition of the country has
stimulated the speculative spirit of the people,
and the theOrizing Sieyes has many SUCCESSORS,
intent on driving France again into the mael-
strom of experimental legislation. The Execu-
tive combats this tendency by meeting with
his logical skill and candOr the several ques-
tions calculated to disturb the public mnd.
MANY are anxious to have the Assembly
form at once a Republican constitution, but
Mr.. Theirs declares that he prefers to have
the Republic commend itself by lts acts rather
than depend upon the formal and perhaps
constrained approval Of the National Assembly
He il saneune that if the new institutions
receive a fair trial they will become inter-
twined with the social and political life OF the
people and become permanent. Conscious that
he will not betray the high trust conilded IN
him. he assures his hearers that he will resign
the Office he received rather than consent to
any recreancy on the part OF the nations
representatives. He declares that the "attempt
"to maintain French Republic has never
"succeeded i'm the hands of Republicans" and
appeals to the MOnarchists on the one hand
and the ardent Republicans on the other to
have confidence in the future of a government
which owes its existence to their combined
efforts and mutual CONCESSIONS.
The debate on the repeal of the laws when
excluded the BOurbOns from France also
demonstrated the importance OF that freedom
of discussion which democratic institutions
stimulate and foster Finding the Assembly
disposed in favor of repeal, he quoted the
prophetic words which he had used when
former Republic acting contrary to his ADVICE
allowed the return of the BOnapartes. Mon
"seigneur,r he said to Louis Napoleon, you
care in France in spite of my efforts to keep
"you out the imprudent people who have
"invited you over do not know what they are
"dong-you will probably be their MASTER:
" you shall never be mine" The rgld course
which only grave misgiyings and the peculiar
character of the people caused him to SANCTION
then, he would now follow i'll regard to House
whose friend he is proud to call himself. But
finding the Assembly disposed to reverse the
act of prescription, and having received the
assurance that the Orleans princes would not
insist on sitting in the Assembly, he yielded,
and the Republic, after that eventtul session,
has a better chance of perpetuity than ever
before. We have seen too often in Europe
the liberalism of princes vanish in moment
before the temptation of crown. We have
seen the democrats of yesterday become the
courtiers of to-day, where thrift may follow
fawning. 1t would be unsafe to predict that
we shall not see the same thing in France
before long But whatever the result may be,
the magnanimity and the innate justice of
this protest against the old policy of dynastic
prescriptions and suspicious will always inure
to the credit of the Republic.

human life is held in this country. A young woman

thought her a man dressed wOmans clothes who
had been stealing poultry. AS it turned out, the

1t appears from the argument of Mr. South

his power over the Legislature to be so abso-

that he never made up what he is pleased TO

The resignation of the Cabinet of Spain
loes not appear likely to amount to much
after all, though all the Ministers have per-
sisted in relnquishing their portfolios The
attitude of the unfriendly majority OF the
Cortes is so threatening that no other course
seems to be left to the Cabinet We have no
intimation of the personnel of the new Cabi-
net, the formation of which was reported to
have been intrusted to Serrano, except that
all of the present members but Moret Demo
craft and Gorilla (PrOgresista) will ultimately
be retained. This would not be any special
concession to the uneasy element in the Cortes,
unless the question of the management OF the
finances enters more largely into the dlssatis-
faction than we have been informed.

NJ. Gambetta, after refusing to acknowledge
the authority of the French Assembly, has
finally decided to accept candidatre for
seat in that unconstitutional body from one
of the districts of Paris. Gambetta's objection
TO the Assembly was that it had ceased to
have any lawful existence after it had con-
rluded terms of peace with the Germans. 1t
is not possible that the exMinister Of War is
in the same condition with a gentleman who
once represented West Virginia in the United
States Senate, and who was so confident of
the unconstitutiOnality of the creation of his
State that he would have resigned his seat
had he not found his salary so convenient.

NJ de Persigny alias Fialin, has declined to
he a candidate for the Assembly in the De-
partment of the Loire. Persigny was one of
the cOnspirators who held up the weakened
Man of Destiny when he had gone half
way through the first act of the drama of
1851, and hesirated to take the last step. If
Persigny could now be elected and declines
that honor, it is probably because he fancies
that he could serve Imperialism better outside
the Assembly than in it.
