DF1THOFH ROUHER.

The death of NJ Rouher cannot be said to be
political event. He retired from the french
Chamber Of Deputies three years ago and ceased 10
exert any influence even within the narrow circle
of the Bonapartist faction He had been willing to
retain the leadership of hopeless cause so long as
the Prince Imperial was alive, but when Prlnce
PlonPlon, the bombastic and poor-splrted creature
whom he had always desplsed became the head OF
the Imperial family, he withdrew sullenly
from public life to die in obscurty. NJ. Rouher was
not patriot, but he had many excellent traits
and cOnstancy was one Of them. The downfall OF
the Bonapartes only strengthened his attachment
to them. Adversity quickened his ardor and In
spired him with something like political genius.
As Minister and Emperor he had only won
reputation as o useful but rather heayy-witted
statesman. As leader of an unpopular faction In
the Assembly, be had q genuine success. he re-
cruited the ranks of his party ne made it an etec-
tive force in ReactOnary councils, and succeeded
in REFRESHING the violence of political braTlers and
blackguards like Cassagnac.
NJ Rouher was probably the ablest and most
conscientious of the Ministers of the Second En-
pre- Napoleon ILL., delighted in keeping his own
counsel and in astonishing his Ministers By sudden
surprises and transitions Of policy. If he had
any confidential adviser 1T was NJ. kouher and for
this reason: he was suspicious Of every one else,
but he could not distrust the loyalty Of this faith
full family servant. The Auvergnat lawyer loved
the Bonapartes, father and son, and served them
with personal fidelity and unselfsh de-
votion which distinguished him from the
throng of time-servIng cOurters and self
seeking adventures of the gilded Empire When
the father died in exile the political fortunes of
the son were jealousy guarded. He was the EN-
press's most faithful adviser and was consulted IN
regard to the boys education. lie even recon-
mended the fatal adventure in South Africa which
ended disa5trously, reasoning that If the for
tunes of the family were to be restored tho young
Pretender must show evidence Of military spirit
and personal courage and dash. When the tragedy
in the Zulu bush was enacted the old servants
heart was broken. Public life ceased to interest
him. It was no longer in his power to serve those
he loved and he disappeared from the scene.

OMNIPOTENCE BY ACT OF THE LEGIS-
LATTRE

There are legislators who seem fixed in the
belief that every ill affecting humanity, with
the possible exception of storms, earthquakes,
and some few forms of disease, can be cured by
law. "Be it enacted" in the estimation of
these statesmen, is a formula of almost uni
versal application and irresistible potency. 1t
will abolish poverty, equalize society, correct
abuses, abate nuisances, prevent annoyances
comfort the poor and restrain the avarice of the
rich. If the world is not yet reformed, if there
is still hardship and selfshness among men, if
wages are low and competition is cruel, 1t is
because there are not enough laws. Let US
repeat the magic words, " BE it enacted" few
Thousand times more, and the golden age will
return.
A few days ago the Legislature undertook to
amelorate the condition of car drivers and con-
ductors by fOrbidding them to work more than
q certain number of hours a day, even if they
were willing to refusing to see that If the work
of one man were divided between two the wages
would be divided also. Just now one class Of
the cigar-makers arc denOuncing the Legisla-
ture and the Court of Appeals because State
law forbidding another GLASS of cigar-makers
to work in the houses where they live has been
declared unconstitutional. This was law
passed at the bidding of a tolerably prosperous
body of woriingmen and their employers,
70 shut off the competition of poorer workinImen
In the same trade, and no sensible economist
ever supposed that it could stand or ought to
stand the test of legal examination.
A bill to abolish ticket-speculators has now
been introduced at Albany which errs just as a
hundred similar measures have erred, by max
ing futile attempt TO restrict individual liberty
In buying and selling. 1t makes IL a mis-
demeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment
or both for any person" TO sell theatre ticket
for more than the regular box-offce price. II
Smith, wanting a ticket which Brown has
secured offers a premium for it, Brown is to be
guilty of a misdemeanor If he accepts the offer,
and the least penalty which the Court may
impose upon him Is fine Of 800. This IL
forbiddng a man to sell his own property at the
price which purchaser Is anxious to give fol
it. 1t Is compelling him TO sell, If he sells at

THE SESSION or P1PLIdNENT

The session Of the British Parliament OPEN
ing to-day is fraught with political uncertainty.
There may be protracted struggle over new
Reform bill. Mr.. Gladstone may again be
required to draw upon the same resources of
patience, perseverance and practical wisdom
which rendered the passage Of the Land act
personal triumph. The reduction Of the fran
chise may be carried through the Commons only
to be rejected by the upper House. There may
be another season oflegislative activity as busy
and as successful as the last. Besides dealing
with the franchise and admitting two millions
to citizenship, Parliament may have leisure for
reorganidng the government ofLondon and the
counties, and for passing several practical
measures such as Mr.. Chamberlain's Shipping
bill. Then, again, these legislative proposals
may be referred to in the Queens speech only to
be abandoned one after another under the
pressure of obstruction and partisanship, or in
consequence of foreign complications. 1t Is

The Senate Committee had before 1t yester-
day two improbable witnesses. One was an
Engineer of Sewers in the Department OF Pub
lie Works and the other was the Superintendent
of Boulevards and Roads. The most remarka-
BILE thing about their testimony was what they
could not remember, and their inability to give
an expert opinion on any point. Men whoproft
so little from experience that they are reluctant
to tell how long 1t might take to build hun
dred feet of sewer, and whose memories are SO
short as Mr.. Towle's and Moneys, may serve
the Thompson purposes admirably; but they
are not the kind of servants that the public
wants.

The lynching mania which unfortunately has
broken out so fiercely of late in the more thickly
settled parts of this country, has now shown
itself I'm Ohio-one of the last States of the
Union in which It was to be expected. A young
man was assassinated on saturday night at
Rendville, Perry County, but managed to
say. as he fell into his wife's arms, "The Hckeys
have killed me-" On the strength of this asser-
ton several men were arrested but amob broke
intothe magistrates Office and taking the prison
,ersout, hanged one of them. Evidently, however,
this Ohio mob had init some tender hearted men,
for one of the prisoners begged so piteously for
his life that he was spared. Doubtless the au-
thorities of Perry County will do what they
can to bring to justice the ringleaders in
this outrage against law and order, and the
fellow who escaped hanging ought to be q
valuable witness against them.
The beauties of the tariff bill introduced in the
House yesterday by Colonel Morrison are not
apparent at first glance Evidently the chair.
man of the Ways and Means Committee himself
does not know exactly what they are. He says
he shall set the experts In the Treasury Depart
ment to work Immediately to find out. Colonel
Morrison, however, estimates" that this meas
pre will reduce the tariff about IL per cent
and, to make sure that there shall be limit be-
yond which its effect cannot go, he has inserted
. clause preventing any reduction below the
