Paris had o socialistic emsute last
week, which has bssn greatly ex.
aggeratad by the English press. Its
only political sigoiGcanee is the cyl
dence which II gives OF the new vigor
and vitality of the government. Su-
p~erficially, the riot was a demonstra.
ton of unemployed workmen against
the government, though, as usual,
there were more political agitators
and desperate vagabonds than actual
workmen In the mob. The hand Of the

stration. In It's deeper political zig.
niicanoe, 1t Is probably o feeble and
desperate attempt Of the extreme rad.
icals to intimidate the ministry and the
assembly, and influence the course of
government. The death Of Gambetta
removed the wholesome restraint he
continued to exercise upon the radical
section even after he separated him
self from their communion. He was
q sort of connecting link between the
communist party, with which he
acted In his early days, and the mod.
crate republicans, to whom he drifted
later. With his removal the gull
between the parties opened again.
The colorless ministry he had organ.

republic, aud headed by Julel

friends fell into sharp and decided op
position under DR.. Clemenceau, whit
aspires to the position of communis'
tribune. The first move of the ex
treme party was to revive the schem,
of revision Of tho constitution which
Gambetta once carried through tn,
chamber, only to be defeated In thu
senate. The government took decided
grounds against the measure, and
after q brief debate, defeated Its con
alteration In the chamber by a vote O
about two to one. The next act o
the radicals was probably to incite thu
r%lotous demonstration of Friday, which
was progressed by the government
firmly, promptly and effectively. TIL,
