LOWER DEPTHS IN FRANCE.

Victor Hugo describes Marat as defying Dan
ton and Robesperre and turning pale before an
obscure but powerful man whom the people
saluted. He braved the Convention and led
the Commune, bit feared the Ey6cl6, which
was the lowest layerof the social revolution.
He had undermined the position of his rivals,
but was not sure of his own ground. He was
safe only so long as the layers underneath
were STILL He dreaded the approach of a new
rival from quarter below his own level, pre-
cisely as Mirabeau had felt Robespierre L" stir
ring at some unknown depth and as Robes
pierre, in turn, had feared the influence OF
Marat. The same principle may be applied to
the new Revolution, which has already had its
Danton in Gambetta and its dOgmatc, if not
its fanatlcal, Robespierre in Clemenceau. 1t is
the movement of the lower depths which every
leader, whatever may be the grade of his re-
pubicanism or radicalism instinctively breads.
Theirs perceived that Gambetta was at work
somewhere underneath him; Gambetta found
the influence of Clencnceau irresistible; and
now Clemenceau sees the ground trembling
beneath him and knows that large section OF
his followers are impatiently awaiting tho ap-
pcarance Of his successor.
Before the last general elections were held
Gambctta's politica. influence was grounded
upon the fact that lie possessed the confidence
of the moderate Republicans throughout
France while he represented one of the most
radical constituencies of Paris. But when he
appealed to Belleville, popularity known as the
Mount Aventine of the Republic, he could not
make himself heard His constituency Was so
evenly divided that he barely escaped defeat.
Opportunism Was accounted treason by large
minority of his constituents. Beleville vir-
tually rejected him aud on that account his in
fiuence IN the Chambers and in the country was
seriously impaired. France looked about for
another leader who should satisfy Paris and at
the same time be tolerablY safe in n National
sense. That leader was found in Clemepceau.
the orator of tho Extreme Left, who had cal
red into politics tho practical instincts of a
man of science, and at the same time could
make doctrnal speeches On the reign of reason.
the pacific destiny of republics, aud the en-
lightened Judgment of democracies. The
Deputies in dsmissing Gambetta from the
Premiership knew that they had n substitute
upon whose elOquence and sagacity they could
depend, whoever might be the nominal Pre-
mier Clemenceau was the power behind the
Freycnet Ministry, and when he denounced its
foreign policy it went down in utter collapse.
But even In the hour of his triumph he shares
Gambetta's humiliating experience in estrang-
ing the ssmpathiss of his constituents. Mont

TILE 6TATE BOUNpARY.

That so important matter as the dividing IDe
bety cen New-York and New-Jersey, involving as
10 does the commerce OF the chief haioor ol tho
country, should remain for years question TOT u'S
cussion among judges seems strange. But one OF
the happy results Of the union OF the States mas
been to diminish the Importance Of state boundary
lines. Few persons realize that were 1T not tor the
Federal Constitution this city and jersey CITY
would DO in fact and for all purposes. rs they now
are in the technical language Of admiralty Tor
eign ports:" that passport system and custom
house inspection would embarrass every ferry
trip; and that standing army would be needed in
each State to protect her frontier" Aud Ike
burdens would rest upon the other States. On the
continent of Europe questions of boundary have
been IA fruitful cause of war for centuries. here
they excite an argument in a courtroom, anu are
adjudged upon few sheets of foOscap. Just now
the District Judges OF New-York aud New-JerseY
cannot agree AS to which has authority over mat
ters upon the North River but the orst result that
can happen will be the placing OF one more appeal
on the calendar OF the Supreme Court at Washing
ton.
IL seems that in 1899 when the national judiciary
was organized, the jurisdiction OF New-fork state
was supposed by New-Yorkers at least, to en-
brace the whole breadth of the harbor and extend
to low water mark on the New-Jersey shore; and
the original law or Congress ueHnlDB inc autnor-
ity of the courts was framed accordingly. giving TO
the New-York District Court jurisdiction to the
Jersey shore. But In 1888 the two States
adjusted the line anew, allotting TO New-Jersey one
half OF the hafbor to New York the other half
The question now Is whether Congress. either by
approving the boundary bargain OF 1888, or by
describing the jurisdiction Of the conIts anew in
the Revised Statutes has changed the line o. dlyls
ion between the courts to correspond with that
between the States. Judges Belts and BlatchfoId
have in past years rendered decisions in favor OF
what we may cal the New-York side OF the Ques-
ton. holding that the old time authority of the
New York ccurts remains unchanged and now act
ually embraces New-Jersev's part OF the harbor.
They sustained their officers in crossing the river
and levying upon vessels actually lying at piers IN
Jersey City, holding that unless ship were hauled
up on the Jersey shore she was within the New
York courts jurisdiction. Judge Nixon. OF the New
Jersey District Court, has rendered his opinion
in favor of NewJerseys claims. lie says that 1t is
for his cUnrt to deal with all that is or occurs In the
New Jersey half of the harbor, and that vessel at
Jersey City wharf is subject to his authority and
process. All of which is advantageous to lawyers.

for an investigation into the causes OF the de-

1t is reported that the Secretary of the Re-
publican Committee laughed when his atten-
ton was called to the post-election prayer for
"yoiuntary contributions which was sent out
over his official signature. 1t is not made
quite clear why the Secretary laughed. but
that is not a material point. 1t is much more
interesting to note that this is probably the
first time the Secretary or any other member
of the Committee has found anything to laugh
at since the Saratoga Convention adjourned.
