Gustave Flaubert.

In Gustave Flaubert, whose death is an
nounced, the French realistic school has lost
its pioneer, if not its chief Born at Rouen,
December II, 1921 he went to Paris to study
law and medicine, and drifting into literature
after spending some years in Oriental travels
published in the Revue de Paris in 1856
novel, Madame Bovsry," which had a bril-
liant success of disesteem and deserved it
richly. Its author and the Revue both were
prosecuted for offending against public moral
ity. NJ. Flaubert pleaded the privileges of art
and averred that he had written nothing worse
than De Balzac and Gautier, and he was ac-
quilted triumphantly. Politics in the earlier
days of the Second Empire were at standstill.
The newspapers, .faute de mie,tr, occupied them
selves with "Mme. Bovary'' and in certain
sense repeated the excitement with which a
quarter of century before the Romantcist
innovation had been welcomed. ''The Real
lists, says well-known essayist, "as being the
party of progress, naturally carried the day
and NJ Flaubert found host of imitators,
but it was soon discovered that artistic realism
is of all branches of literature the most diff.
cult. 1t is not enough to unmask the Seven
Deadly Sins, they must be shown in such
light that people can bear to look at them M
Ernest Feydeau with his cynical counterfeits
of Mime. Bovary' excited only disgust the
brothers De Goncourt were more successful be-
cause they shed the rosy tints of sentiment
over their queer stories; but it remained for
NJ. Emile Zola to make the most of NJ. Elan
bert's maxims and to surpass him in their ap-
pllcation." In 1862, after journey to the
ruins of Carthage, NJ. Flaubert produced
another and far more imaginative work, 'SaI-
ammbo; Carthaginian Romonce," and in
1869 he gave to the world his Sentimental
Education-History of Young Man" which
ais made asensation.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

ALBANY Journal: Three months have
wrought great change in public sentiment
Gen. Grant was much stronger in February
than he is to-day; and he would have been
much stronger to-day than he is had not
his imprudent friends sought, by their mid
winter conventions, to force public senti-
ment which did not exist. These ill-timed
his nomination. There is zeal that is
wise, and a zeal that is otherwise. 1t is some
times as indiscreet to prematurely ''take
time by the forelock" as it is to take mule
by the tail.
The Portland daily press., 1880-05-13

THE National View, Grcenback organ,
has apparently as bitter quarrel as the
New York Times with Secretary Sherman.
1t permits a correspondent to speak of the
Secretary as "a breeder of famine, scourge
of God, Herod H., renegade from hell,
begotten in sin, conceived in iniquity, and
spewed red hot out of the womb of hell into
the lap of civilization, to curse and blast and
damn this country worse than the seven
plaques of Egypt"

JOHN F. STANLEY, S,
The Morgan Bill.

The Democrats seem inclined to empha-
size their disregard of the traditional dog
mas of their political faith. They gave up
hard money without a struggle in 1865 pro-
tested they were for it in 1876, and struck
hands the year following with the upholders
Of initiation and repudiation in every State
where good trade could ba driven. They
made no bones about it eiti r. A few who
had some sense of shane, attempted 10
prove by mutilations of the sayings of the
Democratic fathers that Jefferson and Jack
son were Greenbackers. But for the most
part the Democrats joined in the soft-money
cry without scruple and with an eagerness
that could not wait for apology and explana-
tion. They boldly proclaimed their purpose
to gain power at whatever sacrifice of prin-
ciple or consistency.
Now, in order to secure the Presidency,
they are ready to abandon a doctrine in
their creed that is older even than hard
money. A Democratic Senator, and a South
ern Senator at that, introduces bill into
Congress that depriyes a State of the power
to throw its own electoral vote, and gives
the National Senate and House of Represen-
tatives the right to go behind the returns
and throw out the vote of State on the
most frivolous pretences. The most Jealous
believer in Capitalization could not go fur
ther. The bill, in effect, takes the choice
of President from the States and vests it in
Congress. That is the meaning of the Nor
gan bill. Congress, by a simple concurrent
resolution, can reject the vote of any State
and thus annul the decision of the electoral
colleges.
A political party that will thus sacrifice
principle to expediency, that will disavow
all its professions, and aantonlv and shame
lessly disregard justice and make, according
to its own declarations in the past, radi cal
and mischievous change in the structure of
the Government party that will do this
in order to secure the success of its candi-
dates for office, is a dangerous organization
and one that honest and patriotic men
should unite to put down.

KENNEBEC Journal: While the counting
out conspirators are trying to work up
boom for themselves, many lifelong Demo-
Gratis and honest Greenbackers are notifying
prominent Republicans in quiet way that
they have cast their last vote for either of
those parties or for any fusion that can be
Matched up. The number of that kind of
men who will vote the Republican ticket
next September is very large. If Mr.. Blaine
is nominated for President it will be in
creased to quite a host

New York Sun: ''The resemblance be-
tween twins is sometimes very striking. And

Democratic nomination."
