The Daily NeaDS' leading EDITORIAL:
Since the death Of Theirs there was no
one in France WhOlcould be compared to
Gambetta. He stood like Saul, head and
shoulders above his compeers bis
death scattered many conjecture, aud
made grim banter of many political ar
engagements. His loss is one that passes
all calculations.
The Morning Post says: Whether
France really lost by the death Of Gam.
BETA can never be determined with GER
iainty. The republic is deprived Of one
of its Rrsndest pillars, but its stability
will not be sensibly weakened.
The Standard says:-An intimate
friend Of Gsmbetta's, says he became a
confirmed hypochondrisc. The weari-
ness and disgust in tina failure of his
prospects may explain much that is mys-
FERROUS in the life that is just closed.
Sir Charles Dixie, in speech at Chel l..
sea, said the entrance of 1883 wss sad
dened by the death Of the greatest of all
modern Frenchmen. Sir Charles bore
testimony to the manfulDess and synpa-
thy of England for the loss France hiss
sustained. He said all English commits
sioners who took part in the recent nego-
tiations fer a commercial treaty with
France, had been struck with Gam betta's
extreme courtesy and kindness. In
England, all parties admired q smbettA's
magnificent courage, his tremendous en-
ergy, his splendid orStory, and his IN
matched, quiet and sparkling wit, which
constituted him the frat OF Frenchmen.
Madrid, 1.-The announcement of
Gam betta's death, caused a great sensa-
ton here. Il Is universally considered
that France has sustained heavy loss
Rome, l.-CGpftGIe, Liberia and
StGmpo, the only papers published to-
dsy, contain obituaries of Gambetta.
Liberia says his death will tend to in
crease the coDhi3ts between extreme po-
litical factions in France StompG says
the decease of Gam BETA left great void.
His was the force that served his ccun-
try in the hour Of danger.
Brussels, 1.-The independent Beige
issued special edition, with q black
border, announcing the death of Gam
BETA.
Athens, 1.-The Chamber of Deputies
suspended It's sitting in respect to the
memory Of 0ambeita.
Berlin, Tho death of Gambetta
was announced to the Emperor before
his New Years reception. The Emperor
expressed the opinion :hat peace weuld
be the lot Of Germany for long time.
Berlin, 1-Almost all the newspapers
have srticles on Gambetta. TIE semi
Official Post says the most eminent poll
tician Of France has departed. be was .
man of string passion and great power,
who seemed still de, tined to play a great
part in history. 1t is significant ques-
ton whether he would have beensa bene-
fetal one
The National Zeitun9 says: Germany
has lost her greatest enemy, Gambstta
knew his reputation in the future was
bound up in war and revenge and his
whole energy was directed In preparing
therefor. He may be said to have con-
stituted himself permanent danger to
the peaae of Europe.
The Ldgblatt says. The man Of IN
compromising revenge is dead. His
death affords US better security for peace
than any sort Of alliance. His grandly
constituted character commanded respect
even from his enemies, but now there is
DO necessity to conceal the fact that the
pesce of Europe appears to be more
lasting y secured than for a long time.
