when 1t Is beaten. He persisted In opposing the
Germans when the French cause was looked
upon as hopeless by the military leaders Ho
wanted to go on fighting as long as Prussian
helmet was left on French soil. This indomi-
table pluck endeared him to the Gallo heart. and
the course of his policy since then has only
added to his popularity. His speech at Cahors.
therefore, was received by Europe az doclara-
tion OF Frances foreign policy and his avowal
that the sword OF France must never again bo
unsheathed for purposes OF oppression at homo
or aggression abroad will do much to quiet that
unruly spirit which 10 apt to show itself In NUT
terinRs against tho German occupation OF Al
SAGE and Lorraine. How Gambetta reconciles
his declarations with the recent events at Tunis
is. however. not so clear as could be wished.
M. de st. WALLER. the French Minister at Ber-
lin. recently gave dinner. which was honored
by the presence OF the German Emperor. This
Is the second time that the Emperor William
has dined at the French Embassy. and the fact
that he does not dine ut tho other Embassies
gives II all the greater Significance Last year.
when the withdrawal OF Prince Hohenlohe
created an unpleasant feeling in France, the
marked courtesy Of the Emperor to nj. de st.
Waller had such q happy effect on the Republ-
cans that 1t was thought to be pity not to again
humor them. especially as the cost is 30 small.
Bismarck. however. Is even more difficult to
get at than his master. and declined the invita-
ton: but he sent his wife and son. Tho
Princess sat at the Emperor's right hand and
the Duchess dc Sagan at his left. The French
Ambassador sat vis-a-vis. and was flanked by
the Duchess de Ratbor and the Princess Rad
twill. Won Motko sat near the Emperor.
The Bulgarian crisis has not yet como to an
end. and 1t is thought in many quarters that
Prince Alexander Is acting in a very injudcious
manner. He Is supposed to be instigated in his
determination to rule his kingdom autocrati-
cally by Austria, who objects to the establish
ment OF liberal institutions so near her borders.
1t is even said that the next Bulgarian Parlia-
ment will be summoned to meet at Sstova. a
town sufficiently close to Austrian territory to
be within reach OF Austrian bayonsts. should
the Bulgarian Liberals be audacous enough to
assert their rights by opposing Prince Alexan-
der's determination to suspend the newly
granted Constitution. Tho Bulgarians had
enough OF autocracy under their late masters.
the Turks. and are perhaps as much too rest
less in the enjoyment OF their newly found
freedom as their Prince Ia on his new
throne. Promoted to power from subordinate
position in regiment Of the Prussian Guards.
Prince Alexander no doubt thinks great deal
OF himself and his position. Accustomed to
military obedience. he cannot make allowances
for free thought and action. 1t was not likely
that q newly created nation would elect model
Parliament at the first trial. but that is no rea-
son why 1t should be deprived OF all representa-
tion. The fact is that no statesman has yet
como to the front capable OF guiding the con-
flicting elements in this difficult position. 1t is
thought that both Germany and Russia have an
understanding with Austria. and that should
the Bulgarians kick Prince Alexander out Of

With such combination against it. the Liberal
party stands very poor chance OF keeping its
head above water in Bulgaria.
The House OF Lords has been induced to look
into subject In which all civilized nations must
be interested. and special committee has been
appointed to inquire into the state OF the Eng
lish law for the prevention OF q fast growing
traffic between England and the Continent-the
traffic in young girls. who are enticed from
their homes and given over to life OF shame
in foreign land whore their ignorance OF the
language and customs OF the country renders
them almost helpless. 1t has been discovered
that the inducement held out to the intended
victims Is a promise OF high wages in some
honest employment. The traffic, however. is
not a one-sided one. Young women OF all ma
tionaities are enticed in the same manner to
England. and many Irish girls are included
among the victims. 1t is astonishing that tho
English law is at present inadequate to punish
the offenders: but this will be soon remedied.
and foreign Governments will be called upon
10 do their share toward putting an end TO this
disgraceful condition OF things.
Secretary Blaine. having. It is hoped. satisfied
the British that we are not responsible for the
introduction Of trichinosis into the United
Kingdom. will now have to turn his attention
to refuting the charge that We are to blame for
tho crop OF mosquitoes which has made its ap-
pearance in London. The Secretary's task will
be hard one. for he cannot deny. as he did In
the case OF the trichinR tn at we have mosquitoes
here. He may point out the fact however. tina,
there are countries nearer England which are
as much infested with the little plaques as we
are. and. although We beat the world in that
undesirable commodity. yet the fact that the
Britons who have been bitten have sur
vived to tell the tale is proof conclusive
that the English mosquito Ia not OF the
breed We raise in New Jersey. America
ia charged with this breach OF inter
national courtesy on the strength OF the fac,
that the mosquitoes appeared in hotel much
freQuented by our countrymen. 1t Is forgotten
that a year or two ago the little bloodsucke ere
drove the guests out OF hotel in which Ameri.
cans do not congregate. but whore travellers
from the Continent are to be found very closely
packed together. II. however. we are to bear
the brunt Of the libellous accusation OF having
smuggled into Great Britain in our trunks and
freight packages both live mosquitoes and
mosquito eggs the best thing for our merchant:
to do is to ship at once large consignment o.
mosquito netting al good round figures.
