THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY.
PARIS, April In the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon M. Floquet read
will be pursued by bis cshinet.
He appealed TO the united Rspub-
ltcsn sections for their sopport
and asked them to leave to the govern
ment the question Of revision OF the con-
stitution The ministry, he sait, sin
ceyely desire the adoption Of we'll con-
s!dered reforms, and the main
,ensnce OF peace. Premier Flo
qlet continued: "The men compos
lug the ministry have long served
the republic. Their names are known to
the Democracy, and venture to believe
'h.t the Democracy will place confidence
In them. trust that the parliament will
not refuse 10 support the ministry under
the circumstances which imperstivaly re-
q1ire union among the Republicans. It
is mot in inaction and still less in retro
grade movement that the country loo ks for
Cancellation among the Republicans, but
rather In the continuous development of
our institutions which superficial and
transitory agitation cannot impede. The
government fears no properly elaborated
reform. 1t only des' res TO plsce Itself az
the head OF the Republican
majority and to establish In the
ranks system of voluntary discipline
to guide 1t in lis path, thus securing
progressive realization of the hops which
the nation has placed in the republic
Liberty does not pre- coed on the methods
Of the dictator. 1T cannot promise sudden
transform nion. 1t requires that the
work be accomplished with the daily as
sent OF the public pewers. The question Of
revision of the constitution dem ands calm
h & .ction Those members of the Cabi-
ne. who are the wsrmest advocates of the
revision would not wish that work
of this Importance work that Is
destined to place our political organizs-
ton in complete harmony with
REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES
should be begun under conditions that
would endanger the attainment of the
end in view The government asks to be
charged with determining favorable nc
ment and with preparing for the
necessary entente between the Senate
snd Chamber Of Deputies. The nation
Is at present less deeply Interested with
problems OF political procedure than
with questions that are st the root of the
greatest interests OF the public questions
of finance, trade, manufacture, the c.re Of
the working clssses, the military condition
of the country and international position.
A series of laws dealing with these
questions has already been inscribed on
the notice paper. We ask to be allowed
to classify them in order of urgency, and
we will support the selection of each that
ts most In accordance with Democratic
interests. The government will introduce
bill regarding associations as 8 prelim-
mary to definite settlement Of the rels
Mons between the church and state, TINS
pursuing the work OF secularization in
augurated during the revolution. We
hope also to pace the Chamber in
position TO examine maturelY the last
oudget, and to effect important reforms
.spec ally in the Liquor laws and the
succession duties The new organizs-
ton of national forces will enable as to
secure tle respect that Is due to
France and ito guarantee the peace
which we are sincerely oesi Gus of
preserving, We shall thus prepare at
nome and abroad under propitious condi
tons fer solemn celebration in 1889 Of
the centennial of the revolution.
