PARIS, November :.
In the crisis through which the Republic is
passing, and when medicine men and saviors Of
society ought to prove equal at least TO the de-
mano, not n soul pronoupces the name of Gam
BETA. Yet two years ago he was all powerful.
and to-day none SO poor as to do bin reverence.
But Oambetta has this consolation-no person
has succeeded him. Clenenceau had the air to
have inherited EIijah's mantle, but that gentle
tlemans experience on Sunday last. when he
met his constituents to give an account of his
stewardship, must have shown him that conf
dence IN the ~pOpulace is about on a par With put
ting faith in princes. The idols appear to be
nearly all smashed the anarchists who now rule
the rpast. decline to recognize any authority save
their noble selves. Their country is-the uni
verse their countrymen, humanity-save those
who differ from their chaotic ends and Nihilistic
means.
Dynamite and its admirers continue to absorb
all attention. The situation may be exaggerated,
still it is not healthy. There may be balm in
Giiead, but there is no physician there. The
men o. government inspire no respect; however
il is only justice to add they display no capacity.
While anarchists ard monaIcii-ts are besieging
the Republic, the Republicans ATE hddling. Their
personal quarrels usurp the real interests of the
State. They set up ministers and under score
taries To trundle them over like a house of caid-.

does not do-explain her plan of organization
nor retire her troops. la both she is about right.
The departure OF the troops is considered fixed

who threatens to be as ugly as a Kroumlr with
this difference, that the first really exists. When
England has permanently reorganiZed the army
and the administrative all in her own interest, or
dependent on her will, then tho troops may be
carried back TO Old Virsinny.
The furniture manufacturers Of Paris, num-
boring about 500. have resolved to reply to the
threatened strike of their men by a lockout, and
a very determined one it will be. This decision
would deprive 40 900 citizens the kindred
branches of the trades included, of work, Of the

yiduals when the families are included. The

is so fashionable and Communism is in the air,
would be of marked gravity. This may explain
why regiments III cavalry are pouring into the
capital. The men and the masters are not di-
vided. it may be said, on any question OF higher
pay and shorter hours. but on the principle OF
the right Of self-deience When the trades ex-
ecutIve committee decides 10 put such an EN-

the discharged or selfretired men are refused

their regular wages all the same. This terrible
power of the IHdeI puts ii strike for augmented
pay and diminished hours of labor into the shade.
Employers seeing cunlreres thus outlawed, de-
cided the moment has now arrived to make a

The actors have been in IL state of high fever
these last few days, owing to a deprecatory arti-
Gle written in the Figaro by a NJ. Mirabeau. He
states he personally dislikes actors. and who OF
late have come too audaciously to the front in
society. He would not outlaw them, nor deprive
them Of the rights of the church, as in the time
of MOliere lie would only secure mere elbow
room Tor virtue and tho sfGrIous professions.
Nearly all the actors sent ShIin a challenge, for
that is the first step a Frenchman takes when he
receives lead in the wing. The process. too, puts
an end to further discussion. Mirabeau sug-
gested that the artistes delegate one of theirs to
fight him. Sarah Bernhardt proposed her hus-
band, or her son, or herself; duelling would be
quite Il new role Tor her, and as she keeps her
coffin in her bedroom, il the worst happened,
preparations would be an icipated. The Figaro
disOwned NJ. Mirabeau to please the actors. and
Mirabeau publishes the private letters from the
editor applauding him Tor hs article, at the same
time sending his seconds to demand satisfaction
for having been sOld and u.ed.
Elisce Reclus is an incorrIgible Communist and
a hIerateur Of Il high order. 1t was owing to his
English admirers that his sentence was relatively
mud. The old man Is a fue TO matrimOny, and
has just got off his two handsome daughters by
acc ptin. simply the parole d honneur of their
partners say, Tor better for worse. Conscience
alone binds the high contracting parties. Reclus
believes neither in the registrar nor the parson.
However, it will he awkward for any little stran-
gers that may arrive. or for tie inheritance Of
property. These natural unions were osmmon
under the First Republic, but will hardly make
way under the Third.
