The speech at Romans - an advance and q pro-

lays down the platform for the Presidency. Having

REPUBLICAN MINISTRY NEEDED
Another point IN the speech IS that II declares war
upon inc Ministry. War Was declared some time ago
by ingenious OF men, NJ. G,rardiD, when he
said there were Ministers IN France but no Ministry.
Duaure Is an old man, and he was appointed IN
emergency by MacMahon. The emergency has passed,
the Senate is ami the party wants
vigorous Cabinet Leon Say. Tor instance,

ami call in the per cents. Tne credit France IS
50 hign that she can afford it. No MEASURE is more
natural than that a country should borrow money at
the cheapest rate. Gam1etta opposes tins, and mis-
opposition has Killed the Funding bin. 1t may drive
Leon Say out OF the Cabinet. This looks IKE dema-
gogery, but Gambetta's argument is tnat the people
France agreed 10 pay i've per cent, and that TO
recall THAI promise would be something like bad

THE CHURCH FIGHTS GAMBETrA.
The Church IN France has valiant champions, and
they come 10 the 'front.' IN answer 10 Gambetta's as
sault We shall, OF course, hear from the eloquent
Dupanioup. Freppe, Bishop OF Anglers, writes spicy
letter. He tauuts Gambe;ta with opening war the
Cnurcn at the time when Protestant Germany
is making peace. He insists thnt tho concordat OF
Napoleon l. ana the Pope settled all relations between
the Cnurcn anu State. Gambetta had tauntel Jesuit
ism with thriving upon national misfortune, and
me bsbop answers that Gumbetta,s existence dales
from tho run OF France that her ruin has been his
pedestal, that no changed defeat into catastrophe.
