great power of trenchant statement. and Judge
Davis has the same power, perhaps In esm
b superior degree. Ihe senate mas NOT n.a
tiaucy, of Michigan, 80 long on the Supreme
bench of his State. is 8 superior reasoner, and
| is ore of the men who must be listened to by

David Davis is q much more powerful manly
/ far the most powerful man in the Senate to-
day. doubt if he will ever make speeeh in
the Senate over ten or fifteen minutes in
length, but he will be the most influential per-
son in the chamber as long as he remains
there. He is distinguished from his associates
not more by his enormous physique than BY
his political position. He is that rarest of pro-
duotions-a true independent in politics-ab'
solutely unattached to either of the great par

har. csndidates who were beaten by
ANAL majority, they may seat Others who
were beaten by a heavy majority. IheS
can seat anybody who was candidate OF
even anybody who was not candioate'
Thew can thus increase their power linden
nitely and, indeed, perpetuate it. This 10
simply revelation. :.
The French Chamber embodies one OF
the highest sovereign powers OF the nat'on
and by the Constitution of that country Is
to be elected by the people. If any man.
not elected, usurps seat in that oody 'ne
act is revolutionary. If a sufficient nun
ber of such usurpatons take place to shape
the action of the House it is revolotlon'
1t is an exercise of sovereign power no'
provided for by law it is an actual VIOLA
ton of the organic law. And revolution
| is any exercise of sovereign power contrary
to the organic law or not provided for Dy
| that law.
| We must and do hesitate, however, be-
fore accepting the telegraph as good au-
thorisy on this question. No doubt the
Gambetta wing of the Republican party
that is the Malignants, would resort to any
desperate or dishonest expedient TO SEIZE
power. They openly advocate assassina'
t;on. incendiarism and the forcible occupa-
ton of private property. Such mlscreants
are not too good to be hypocrites; not too
good to profess the principles OF tree gov
erpment, 80 long as it suits their purposes
merely to trample them scornfully IN the
dnst when a favorable moment arrives fof
usurpation.
But there is another and far more pow
erfal wing of the Republican party tnan
that of Gambetta, that ie, the decent he
publicans. The same dispatch that lnti
mates this intended usurpation notifies u'
of a quarrel between Gambetta and Grevy
} Mr., Grevy is a Moderate. He and the
great BODY of French Republicans do no
. hold. with Gambetta, the doctrines
,, Anarchy. They are politicians, and no
scrupulous ones, but they have, perhaps
too much self. respect to violate thei
honor and their oaths with such ready lev
ity as Mr.. Gambetta would like.
We hope 80. We hope they will per
petuate their quarrel with the Matigndnts
, and retrace their steps of hostility t
, Christian civilization as represented by I'd
4 Christian Church. We hope they will 30 de

But if they attempt revolution, or usurl

The Boston Pilot advises the directors of
Catholic institutions to investigate the Kinder
garten method of education for young children
1t says: The system only netds investigation
to show the advisibility of it's adoption. The
schools taught by our various religious orders
could have an extraordinary advantage in this
field. The kindergarten system will assured
ly take the place of the present defective
literary plan; and just as surely can our Catho-
lilo schools, by the development of teaching
among the Sisters, become the best Kindergar-
tens in the country"
There are now in sucoessful operation in this
city three of these schools: one in st. Henry't
parish, Rev. ]. B. Bogaerts, Pastor, conducted
by the Sisters of Christian Charity who were

another at Nine. LOcquet-Leroy'S Institute
