prise, and perhaps q little Of disappoint-
ment The significance Of Paul Bert's ap-
pointment to the Ministry OF Public In
struction cannot be mistaken. The new
Ministry, 1t may almost be said, is not so
much q Ministry Of Gambetta as it is Gam
beta himself. 1t is impossible not to see
in the ascendanCy OF Gambetta certain
revival Of personal government and q pos
sible menace to the spirit Of republican in.
stitutions, His accession to office is the
turning point in the affairs Of France, and
possibly even in those Of Europe, but his
tory and his career are the strongest secur-
ity that Gambetta will be proof against sell
fish ambition.
