Opinions OF M. ssagnac-Demorali-
ration OF the Bona pa rtists.

ZatIOn OF the BOnapartistss
+ The opinions of M. Paul de Cassagnac
have, at the present moment, decidedly
more than merely personal interest. He is
a type Of the most ardent advocates of the
most energetic and incorporating OPP
ponents of the Republic. In view of the
hesitancy now felt in France over leading
points of the republican policy, in view OF
the revived chances and hopes of pretend
ers, and especially in view of the division
of the Bonapartists into rival camps, it is
important to know what is thought by the
class of active men in France of whom Cas-
sagnac is the best known to the outside
world, and Of whom he is indeed the type.
Our readers, therefore, will not begrudge
the space occupied in our columns to-day
with the report of q conversation with this
gentleman on some topics in French poll
tics. 1t will be seen that the change in the
fortunes Of the Empire has changed in some
degree M. Cassagnac's opinions, and
especially modified the vehemence Of
his advocacy of the imperial for
tunes. He is not now as he was
once-for the Empire first, last and
always. There are several things that he
would prefer to an empire with Plon-Plon
1. on the throne. That is not his ideal in
the least, and every man is enthusiastic for
his own ideals. Formerly Cassagnac stood
by ''the dynasty'-the dynasty, its inter-
ests, its hopes, it's chances this was all he
knew or cared to know. The dynasty was
the summary of his principles. Now he
says, Questions Of principles are above
questions of dynasty. Let q government,
which may not be that Of the Empire, but
which shall not be that Of the Republic,
come into power and I shall serve it, with
out, however, rallying to it. The Count de
Chambord or the Count de Paris would not
imperialists who prefer to have nothing
sooner than not have the Empire. prefer
to have that which would be better than the
Republic. This seems to us significant Of a
widespread change in the fidelity Of the old
imperialists to the Empire significant Of
Generalization of the party by the chance
that has made Prince Napoleon the head
OF the dynasty. Perhaps the fact that has
recently put the pretenders Of the family OF
Orleans on the alert is the discovery that a
large proportion Of the imperial party now
view their cause with the favor 80 plainly
expressed by Cassagnac. Had the parties
of the several pretenders held eight years
ago the views they now hold toward one
another the Republic would never have
been established. Taken together at that
time they were stronger than the republi-
cans but the divisions between them made
them subject to the party that was stronger
than any one of them alone. Legitimists
and Orleanists compromised their differ
ences and became practically one but the
imperialists would not compromise-would
not have any pretender but their own--and
SO the republicans had their way. Now the
Bonapartists would also coalesce with the
others; but, happily for the Republic, this
spirit of compromise in the councils of its
enemies comes too late.

beach are not welcome, this ought to be
understood We should think it sensible
and business like thing of some OF the man
ayers of beach houses to make special and
abundant provision of tables and seats Tor
parties who bring their own lunch, because
these constitute very large and important
part OF the patrons of.such places. They
might reasonably make trifing charge
for such commodations-fve or ten cents
an hour for the use of table and chairs,
but these ought to be provided in any case.

The WEATHER.-Contrary to expectations
the area of relatively low pressure developed
energy us it moved over the Middle Atlantic
coast districts last evening The vapor con-
tanned in the air that was brought up by the
seutherly winds was condensed very rapidly by
contact with the area of high barometer that
moved southeastward from the lower lake re-
gions, and great precipitation was the conse-
quence. The meteorological conditions are now
very much disturbed over the whole country
east of the Rocky Mountain regions Tho ba-
roneter is high in the Middle Atlantic and New
England States and is very much below the mean
In the other districts, particularly in the North
west, where another disturbance is organizing

THE LATEST CONTEST Of endurance has been q

the trundlers having just reached New York from
San Francisco the starting point, in seven
months and sixteen days. As anything requir-

suggest the following as methods of winning

A MALIGNANT TYPE of malaral fever has de-
veloped in one of the Hudson River towns. The
citizens may console themselves by thinking it
is not yellow fever, but if it kills there is some
doubt as to the exact value of the consolation.
Peculiar and dangerous fevers of local origin
are not uncommon in the United States. Let
citizens guard against home enemies instead of
turning suspicious eyes toward the South.

A Canadian Question Settled.

Finally the great Dominion muddle has
ended with the dismissal from office Of
Lieutenant Governor Letellier, of the
Province of Quebec, who, it will be re-
membered, was suspended in April last
pending the reference of his case TO the
imperial authorities. This constitutional
episode in the history of the Dominion
began early in the year 1878, and arose from
party differences carried to an extreme point
between Mr.. Letellier and Mr.. De Boucher
Vile, Premier of the Province Of Quebec
Mr. Letellier, as q constitutional sovereign
in small way, proposed to dismiss the Min
istry with which he could not agree but,
unfortunately. the Ministry commanded q
majority in the provincial representative
to dismiss the representatives OF the people.
This was done by the nomination of a new
Ministry, which involved a new election.
But the party that favored DE Boucherville
returned with one majority. That small
majority is understood to have been captured
in the Letelier interest, and by the simple
method it Is alleged, of purchase and
affairs went on with the apparent triumph
Of the Lieutenant Governor. But the case
was carried to the Dominion Parliament,
which voted its disapproval OF Letellier's
course, and the Dominion Ministry there
upon advised Lord Lorne to dismiss the
obnoxious iunctionary. Lorne refused and
referred the case to London, and London
replied that Lorne should ''act upon the
advice OF his Ministers as far as possible. I"
Hence the end actually reached.

1t has been suggested that the Reservoir
building. instead OF being wholly removed,
might be made available for the ornamen-
tation of the park by terraces laid out in
flower beds or in such other manner ps the
skill and taste of a landscape architect
might suggest. The suggestion deserves
consideration. The dimensions Of the park
would be nine hundred and twenty feet by
four hundred and fifty five. having an area
OF nearly ten acres. The ground is high
and we'll adapted~to ornamentation. A
park wonld be appropriate in that locality,
and the surrounding property Is of char
actcr to be greatly enhanced in value by

of Berlin subject to the sovereignty of the
Sultan, but with the guarantee of consti-
hands of the people, and gendarperie to
answer all those requirements for public
force TINT in Turkish countries generally
are answered by Ottoman soldiers. All this
protection for the people against their SOW

on which they would assent to the demand
made by England and Turkey that this prov

Prime Minister and give him political cap

case tho Turks will find way to put II

it is therefore dusirablc they should not
have that opportunity. Hence the PROPOSE

Mr.. varnum's bill authorizing tho re-
moval Of the Reservoir on Fifth avenue and
Forty-second street. and the addition of the
ground it occupies to Reservoir square to
form public park. should be promptly
passed Ivy tho Assembly. Last year the
Commissioner of Public Works reported
that the Reservoir had become useless as
viscd its abandonment on tho ground of
economy. He strongly recommended the
reservation Of the entire plot as public
park. urging the cxpediency of securing
these open spots in tho city while It is pos
sible to do 80 and setting forth tho natural
Of tho ground for such a
purpose. It was suggested at the time
that in view Of the largo city debt
and tho heavy taxation 1t would be
desirable to sell tho Reservoir site in lots,
the valuation being one million seven hun:
dred thousand dollars. This would 20 into
the sinking fund and would afford no per-
ceptible relief to the public burdens at the
present time, while tho property is certain
TO be much more valuable twenty years
hence than it is to-day. 1t would, there

jacent taxable property through the con-
struction of q handsome park would be
more advantageous 10 the taxpayers than
