THE situation In France Is decidedly
In favor Of Napoleon ", His agents
have been indeiatlgable In their work
among the peasants, aud nothing has
been left undone 10 prepare the way
for restoration Of the empire. The
rumered betrothal Of Of the prince linz
perlal TO n daughter of the queen OF
England, may turn out to be fact.
The experiment Of republic In France,
like that In Spain, will sooner or later,
fail, aud France return To her previous
condition Of either M empire or king

Hon. A. q. Thurman, senator from
Ohio, has our thanks for n pamphlet
copy Of his speech In the United States
senate, January p, 1879, on the reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Schurz, "to In
quire what legislation by congress Il
necessary TO secure to the people Of
the state Of Louisiana their rights Of
selfgovernment under the constilu-
ton, aud 10 report with the least pos
siblc delay, by bill or otherwise"
The Jefferson Jimplecute and Waco
Examiner do not sympathize with the
fears of executive interference ex-
pressed in the Legislature In the event
Of action being taken 90 call n conven-
ton. Tho Jimplecute extends u cor
dial invitation TO the timid procrasIi-
majors TO "step down and out" If they
have any doubt about our beinga free
people, and continue to discuss IN
whispers and with bated breath "A
measure which il one of the unrc-
deemed pledges upon which they were
all elected. This mule-eared rabbit
policy COMFORTS lily with the lion-like
roars heard during the canvass from
several hundred stumps. II is no time
for sucking doves.
There Is II conviction gaining ground
that The selection OF the candidates on
the democratic ticket in the coming
municipal election should be made by
n convention composed of delegates
from the various wards. The primary
election system is good one, If none
but democrats took part in it. Elk.
perience proves that this is not always
the case, and that at primary demo-
cratic meetings, other than democrats
have voted and figured, andithe result
was that the honest expression of the
democracy was not arrived ut. II was
tainted with independentism and radl-
calism. Let each ward hold its demo-
cratic meeting to elect democratic
delegates TO a. democratic city conven-
ton, aud let the convention make the
ticket from the list of aspirants. What
the HERALD wishes to see is u fair'and
just election, where the interests of the
city or the choice of honest, capable
men will not be tempered with by
promises, whisky or wire-pulling. Up
on peaceable and honest expression
Of the wishes of the taxpayers and peo-
pie depends much of the progress
md prosperity of our city. Once the
democratic ticket Is made, let all come
Down squarely aud heartily TO the

When any one lies dead in your
house in New York town there is
ring at the door bell, and n printed /
circular, with heavy black border, is
handed In, which sets forth this infor.
nation. "Supposingyou would be de-
sirous OF preserving flowers associated
with the memories of the dead one
gone, take the liberty of informing
you that we will give entire satisfac-
ton in this branch Of the art. Pardon
me for addressing you in the hour of

Using. The sphynx hasn't the cheek
of this miracle of impertinence. And

from that village a well authenticated
