1ARlS, SEF1. to, 1891.
The Intransigeants extreme Radicals
are in high glee: the'supplementary cleo
tons have given them four new recruits,
hence they consider their band represents
France. They promise TO keep the Cabinets
in hot water, and the Chamber employed.
They will endeavOur to bring forward every
thOrny question, and 50 compel divisions.
These Hotspurs forget some regulations of
the House; they cannot Introduce any
measure unless the OF Initiation
report favorably thereon wild schemes are
thus laid on the table to be read that day
six months. Nor can the Parliamentary
rOughs ask what questions they please-the
Chamber ever decides on the propriety of
putting such and such a question nor can
the Red orators pour forth torrents ofabuse-
the President of the Chamber can call them
TO order, with the extreme power to exclude
or imprison them, or the Deputies can cut
short yarns by voting the ctOtuTC. Thus
wild flights can be neither frequent nor
long.
There are three Deputies destined to come
out strong: Camille Pelletan, who Will
gain the ear of the House, for though hold
ing extreme views, he supports them with
marked talent, and is never personal
RaVillon has the reputation OF having con-
querred the "%tyrant" Gambetta in Belle
ville-he can bark, but never bites Clovis
Hughes is the incarnation of Southern pas
Sion-he is q poet, II impFoViseS as readily
and as wittily as Theodore Hook he could
rhyme his speech at a pinch-which would
not only be a novelty, but certain to gain
him a hearing he would sweep away
| Senate, President Grevy, tile Church, the
army, indirect taxes, &c, in twenty-four
hours, and replace all by the age of brOtherly
love. He has had his duels, and in one
killed his antagonist-a feat few poets can
boast of though an O~ut-and-Out Radical,
he claims to descend from the most historic
races of France.
Tony Revillon is n H%tt5rateur, and the
greatest surprise of his life is to to find HIM

elector at n caucus meeting observed {:
"Revillon could not be elected, since he
allowed his bills-eVen for 80 francs-tO be
protested p'at the next meeting the same
elector announced Revillon had since paid
his bills, and so would now vote for him,
despite the alleged charge of the candidate
having outraged a young girl-quite a
minor affair. stranger still, DuYerdier Is
one of the few candidates who was elected
in two places. Lyons has so hOnOred him,
though he has been convicted of abuse OF
confidence, and the Deputies, without eX-
ception, refuse to recognize him. DupOrtal
is another lame duck, yet has won his seat
all the same. Universal suffrage, like
Nature, makes queer freaks occasionally.
The subject of the Commercial Treaty is
receiving a little more attention, and the
Press examines it more seriously, doubtless
having found out that England had made
up her mind to execute no treaty, If neces-
sary. Minister of Commerce Tirard is
rOunuly cenSureu Tor not according IIle eA-
tension of the delay of three months, till
February next, as the law empowered him
did he feel so inclined. He is only a third
rate man, full of petty eXpedients, and
incapable of graspfng and dealing with
grand questions. France ought to send not
clerks, but what she has of craftsmanship,
to reopen negotiations /; when she changes
her spirit, the business can be soon ar
ranged.
The obituary mass in memoriam ofThiers
has Just been celebrated-not twenty per.
sons were present ; some three years age
there We're 10000.
Dupont de PEure, whose statute GAM

replied "When Dupont de PEure says

1t has now been established that Louis
