THE BOULANGER BUGABOO.
Speech in the French Chambers
Causes a Sensation.

Causes a Sensation.
In the French Senate on the 10Th,
during The debate on the budget, NJ.
Challemel-Lacours said the present was
not the moment 10 consider French
finances, but the future OF France. He
condemned the policy now pursued in
the schools, which, he said. struck at
the root of the traditional prin-
ciple of parental control. The main
cause of existing evils, he de-
clared, was radicalism, which relent-
lessly pursued the old founders Of the
republic and gave promises that We're
impossible to fulfill. France had aband-
doned the most glorious of monarchles
and was about to fall at the feet of the
least OF men. The cabinets duty was
to check the movement toward the
abyss, but instead of doing this the
cabinet were fastening the movement.
He appealed to the Right to unite with
the party of the Left, which was the up
holder of order and liberty, and togeth-
er save the country.
The speech created a sensation, and
at its conclusion the senators arose en-
maSse and enthusiastically cbeered the
orator. Premier Floquet tremarked that
the speech might be 8nalyzed as q act of
repentance and an act of good faith.
NJ. Challemel-Lacour had urged that
France should look 10 the Right for sal
vation. Several senators protested
against this remark. NJ. FlOquet asked
for few minutes iorbearance. Contin-
uing, be said, that he had not solicited
the power which had been imposed up
on him; but during office he had tired
to effect a concentration of the parties
on the Left. NJ Floquet at this point
suddenly left the tribune. lis action
caused general astonishment.
N. Say warmly approved NJ. Challe
mel-Lacour's speech. He said he re-
gretted the reply made 10y NJ. Floquet,
and declared thai the premier had not
risen TO the occasion. \ great uproar
thereupon ensued NJ. Floquet an
nounced that he would, If necessary, IN
troduce new legislation TO combat the
Boulangist danger. The house rose
amid great excitement
