BAssADOR-TuE CAUSE OF MISS MELONS DEATH
A SAD DEATT-BED SCENE.
fsPoY TIE REGULAR COMPARTMENT ~ THE rRrBUNE'l
PARIS. Aug 19.-Gamhctta Is not sure that he
will 20 this year to Switzerland He has so much
work to turn down that he recoiis from the idea
Of leaving Paris and its immediate neIghborhood
One Of the tasks which be cannot sink Is the
examination of claims for his support ut the next
general elections. IL proper ION To the number 81
candidates for his favor the number Of seats IN
the Chamber Is very restricted. Gamhcttas idea
i, not to form a class of political adventures Who
will have keen appetite for the public money and
the opportunity to satisfy it. There some such
deputies on the Budget Committee who are ready
for no matter what job; and there is one OF them
whose keenness of appetite and address in min
stering thereto, is cause Of public scandal. He
was ten years ago a humble carpet Dagger for
house of business in a southern town and by his
noisy Radcalism pushed himself into military
contracts and a seat in the National Assembly The
contracts were executed in such manner that he
Thought il prudent to obtain the support of q
moral order deputy Of high rank and large fortune
by extraordinary means.
GAMBETrA IN SEARCH OF HONEST MEN.

kidney afeld. Talent is not what they want.
they know how to speak and write. and have that
pliancy which is an aid to party discipline But
they are essentially beasts of prey and Will lose no
opportunity to fatten public money. Jam
bettas idea is TO try and bring forward honorably
known and successful men Of business. snch leg
islators would be guarantee Of political probity.
The drawback-there Is a drawback to every good
thing in this rd-woud be the danger Of those
economical questions in which the working classes
are most Interested and which the Socialists agi-
tate being dealt with in a narrow spirit. The be-
setting political sin of the manufacturing
/ capitalists Of France Is mstrust Of the working
classes and jealousy OF their growing power. Tam

public must be steadily democratic to hold her own
against her enemies. Her Parliaments, to be IN the
truth of the Republican doctrine. are bound to leg
islate in all earnestness for the greatest good OF
