No doubt the poet was right in saying that
1t was pleasant 10 stand on the seashore and
watch the struggles OF others among the cruel

There are signs of coming collision between the Bank
Of France and the Government. Some days back the
Journal OGciet published account Of the damage
done by fire to the Palace Of the Legion Of Honor, on
the Quai dOrsay, account which concluded with an
appeal to all members Of the Legion of Honor for sub
scrpons toward fund for rebuilding the edihce. The
article concluded by list OF banks and agencies at
which subscriptions would be received and at the head
Of the list stood the Bank OF France. TOdays papers
contain letter from NJ Marsand the Secretary

ON the part of the directors that If NJ. Picard took
possession of his post they would at once resign III
