II seems quite probable, according to the
Paris letter printed in to-day's TRIBUNE, that
M. Clemenceau will be the next person to form
a Ministry in France. His course in the SEES
sion lust ended has brought him increased
popularity. In opposing clause in bill per-
hitting Senators to accept salaries as judges
while holding their legislative offices, he acted
wisely. Such proposal, if made in this coun-
try, would be universally regarded as prepos-
ferrous. But in France it was adopted.
General Augur has issued general order
calculated to stop the duplication of pay ac-
counts by officers IN his department. This is
a subject that is attracting good deal of
attention at present in the Army. Assigning
the same months salary to several different
persons, however, is not q new offense. The
apparent outbreak now is due to Secretary
Lincoln's attempt to check the evil. One cause
of its existence is the long intervals between
payments. The agitation of the subject has
revealed q good deal of knavishness in the
Army, which, for the honor of the service as
well as the good Of the country, ought to be
rooted out and punished.
A prize-fght is the most brutal of sports.
Several Of them have taken place in this city
recently under the Iisnomer of sparring
matches. The one that came of yesterday,
however, between two drivers, was not con-
cealed under any alleged scientific term. 1t
was fought in o ring, and ION time" and
the prize was black-eyed 'damsel. The two
brutes mauled each other, in the presence Of
q crowd until they were exhausted, without
deciding which one should have the girl. She
will kbe the better of if the question is never
decided. And the city would be benefited if
the police would do their duty and stop exhi-
billions of this kind-whether scientific" or
otherwise.
The result of the Sligo election is another
evidence of the growing strength Of Mr.. Par
nell. One of his supporters will occupy the
seat in Parliament filled by the late Denis
Maurice OConor. Mr.. O'Hara, the defeated
Conservative candidate was the only one to
contest the field with the Parnelites, as the
Government abandoned the struggle. Mr..
O'Hara, however, divided the Catholic vote,
and he had the prestige gained FROM the fact
that his father and grandfather represented
that constituency. But he was badly beaten.
This result following Mr. Parnells remarkable
success in Monaghan and Wexford indicates
serious trouble in the next Parliament for
any party that may attempt to govern without
consulting the wishes of the Irish members.
The Democrats Of New-Jersey are in O good
deal of quandary to know whom to nominate
this year for Governor. The present incumbent
Of the Office slipped in by plurality of only
661 votes. 1t 10 clear that under existing cir
ssmstances the Democrats cannot hope Ito do
as well this year, unless a stronger man is
brought forward. The question is, where can
such candidate he foundf Ex-Governor
Joel Parker evidently believes that he is
