SENATOR MCMILLAN is commercially cor
rect on the water question. Some inquiry
should be made, and the facts spread out with
u view to the finding and application of a
remedy. If all accounts are true there are
localities embraced in the water system where
there ought to be sufficient head and volume
to deluge burning house, when in fact there
is not enough for asmall family to drink after
u moderate maclSerel breakfast, Those citi,
zens who live on the hill, where the midday
turn of spigot brings feeble drizzle, even

much affect. The central issue in an election
would be whether France shall attempt the
exclusion from her borders Of all but the gov
ornmont party, or whether she shall trust the
strength Of her institutions to the freedom of
discussion and the heat of party strife. The
defense Of the rights of French subjects who
are unfriendly to the republican form is the
porilous task attempted by the government
If it can carry the people ON such an issue.
the result will prove the stability of the re-
public. The chamber of deputies may abate
its demands in time to avert real crisis.
Tho statement of tho London Times corre-
spondent that President GREvY had declared
for dissolution of the chamber, and had
said that nobody could govern the
country with It, is tolcrably good
evidence that he had said no such thing. He
would be much moro likely to await the effect
upon that body of new ministry which
while holding tho same views, may be per-
sonally more acceptable than the one which
has retired. All Christendom will wish

A Delnteu Critic,

The volunteer writer who undertakes the
heavy replying to THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN in the editorial columns of our morn
ing contemporary had an unusually painful
delivery in yesterdays issue. II was all
about paragraph several weeks old in this
paper, in which wo had remarked disparag-
ingly concerning the award under tho
fisheries clause of the treaty of Washington.
The writer should have answered sooner, or
less excitedly. If our little paragraph was
able to so shock an esteemed contemporary,
il was the duty of that contemporary to have
been shocked at the time and not to go to
sleep, and waking up, TO express its indigna-
tion between yawns. We do not know that
hoproofs that Canadian statistics were falsiflcd
for the purpose Of eXtorting money from the
United States in the fisheries award were
sufficient to justify the United States in tread
ing upon the British lions tail, as suggested
by our critical neighbor; nor do we admit
that it is an attack OH any administration tC
express the opinion that il was cheated In
an arbitration. What we said and say was
and Is, that we agree with Senator FRYE in
the opinion that the miserable arrangement
cannot be too soon terminated whereby W.
allow tho Canadians to fish in our waters ant
then import our fish thus caught to our owl
ports free of duty, TO the detriment of Amer
waters. We regret to have disturbed the sen
sibilities of the Canadian sympathizer VIII,

France.

Tho resignation of the French ministry,
and the prospect of an early appeal to the
people from the present chamber of deputies,
will give France good deal of unrest, and
will test tho attachment of the people to tho
republic. The merely destructive element in
the French nation has become less as tho
wrongs which, century ago, drove il to des-
peration, have reoeded into the past, The name
of NAPOLEON, which was once Synonymous
with France freed from kingcraft, was made
ridiculous at Sedan, and can never be con-
jured with again. Legitimacy is us helpless as
therusty armors which belonged to the knights
of old, and its butterfly representatives are as

The Democratic Dogma.

"There can be no national greatness" says
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, without centrNliza-
ton of power" and tho Peoria Transcript adds
there can bo no national safety without the eXcr-
else of that power. In national safely alone re.
sides tho authority requisite to preserve indi-
vidual freedom and subordnates local self-go
ernment, The lesser must yield to the greater for
the common good, and the power which serves to
maintain the nation must always yield generous
and conservative recognition of the rights of its
constituent greatness. This is the republican
theory Of strong central government The
democratic dogma of local self control without
due allegiance to superior authority opens the
way TO dissension and disIntegratlon, to the de-
struction of national greatness and tho overthrow
of national poWer.

eress does not meet with public approval,

tiod and hinder the administration Of the

vance public business in every way, but tho

It is the plain duty of tho republicans in
the house to see to it that n protective tariff
bill is passed during tho present session of
con grcss. The best interests of the country,
and, therefore, of the party, will be subservcd
by tho passage of the bill presented by the
ways and means committee. There is no
timo remaining to be wasted in temporizing
with obstructionists Democratic tactics are
now transparent and need not be permitted
TO interfere with legislation at this time.
The republican party is committed to that
line of procedure which will result in the
protection of American labor from COM
petition with that of tho mendcants and
serfs of Europe. In order to pursue its
avowod policy with credit to itself and
with benefit to the people, the present measure
should receive the attention and determined
action of every representative of republican
district in the house. There should be no alb.
scntceism and no hositancy on the part Of any
one. Compromise and dilatory measures from
the opposition should be promptly disposed of
and the main work attended to with vigor
1t behooves the representatives, to sec to II
that the expressed will of the recent caucus
be kept prominently in mind, and its intent
and purpose enforced. The proceedings o

And from her net one golden curl
Is straying vagrant;
Her silken lashes curve a-down
And veil her eyes Of bonnie brown
The perfume from her dainty gown
Is family fragrant.
How easy round her chair to slip
And kiss her tempting ruby lipl
Yet--would rue it2

A winning knight must needs be boldl
