AMERICAN IDEAS IN FRANCE.

The employment Of money as a force in
political campaigns is familiarly known in Eu-
rope as an American idea. Englishmen, un-
mindful of the financial assistance rendered by
their own country to revolutionary movements
in Italy and other States, and also of the active
measures taken in London to float cotton loans
for the Southern Confederacy, have been in
the habit of sneering at the contributions made
to the Nationalist fund by sympathizers in the
United States Frenchmen in similar mood
are now angrily resenting the financial aid
which General Boulanger is reputed to have
received from members of the American colony
in Paris. A well-known millionaire was at
first reputed to be the doughty Generals
banker. and Duke Dino is now credited with
supplying the money required for the campaign
in the Department of the North from the pri-
yate fortune Of his american WIFE General
Boulangers opponents have reached pitch Of
passionate denunciation Of mysterious Ameri-
can gang which is striving to bring on war be-
tween France and Germany as commercial
speculation for wheat ring and tinned-goods
trust in this country. This is the raving Of
factional excitement General Boulanger may
have found useful allies among the remnant Of
the titled class who are hoping for revival Of
the tinsel splendors Of the tawdry Empire.
His campaign expenses may have been paid by
ambitious American women coveting the po-
litical distinction and power once enjoyed by
the families into which they have married. To
this extent America may be the financial base
of Boulangerism There is nothing. however,
In the Generals character that commends itself
to sober minded Americans.
The lavish use of the Almighty Dollar is not
the only American idea which General Bou-

TILE PROSPECT.

aTbe Protectionsts do not feel as confident
"a they did, It is said in Democratic and Mug
1r,,mp Journals "When Mr.. Cleveland's mes
sage appeared they were certain it would de-
feat him or his party or both; now they show
anxiety There IL q misunderstanding here.
There is anxiety about the welfare Of the coun-
try and the prosperity of It's industries. Ihefe
Is some anxiety lest the Democratic party
should in some way double on its tracks again.
in part avoiding the issue it has made. There
is some anxiety to have the issue honestly pre-
sented, without the receptions TO which Dem
ocrats and so-called Tariff Reformers habit
ually resort But there is with Republicans
firm conviction that the issue, so presented,
will surely defeat the party that accepts ana
approves the position of President cleveland
Il is the truth that there has been much evil
dence of weakening among Democratic ineni-
hers of Congress who were thought to favor Pro-
lection. Some of them have yielded to party
discipline, to passionate appeals for party mar
mony. Others have yielded to the influence
of patronage, have found it more convenient
70 hunt fat places for themselves and their
friends than TO breast the torrent Of Democrat
10 tendency toward free trade. That is mat
weakness causes some uncertainty about the
passage of the Mills bill in the House. 1t In
wolves some anxiety as to the welfare OF the
country, for industries would suffer severely
IL such bill should pass the House and 60 into
the Senate, there to be debated for months.
But there was no good reason to expect Dem
ocratic members in large number to resist with
great sturdiness the tendencies of their party,
or the influence of the Presidents patronage
Some of them will vote against different feat
ures of the pending bill, it is now said, but
feel bound to support it finally in whatever
shape it may be accepted by Democratic eau
Gus, as a necessary measure Of party policy.
All this weakness helps Republicans. 1t shows
the country that Democratic representative
cannot be trusted to serve his constituents faith
fully in the defence of home industries, because
the necessities Of his party, and the force OF
party discipline, and the seductions of party
patronage, are too powerful. No such influ-
ence swerves a Republican from his oblga-
tons to constituents. The natural outcome
will be the support of Republicans by those
Democratic voters who wish to defend their
IN dustries

District Attorney Fellowss absence from
court when the Kerr case was up on Monday
was remarked. Yesterday, when there was
hearing in the matter again. Mr.. Fellows was
not present; but he came in just before the
proceedings closed, in time to receive rebuke
from Justice Patterson. The rebuke seemed
to make no particular impression on the prose-
cutor, who apparently cannot be stirred up too
often by the bench and by the newspapers. IL
appears that Mr. Fellows has been to Niagara
and the inference is that he crossed to Canadian
soil for the purpose of helping on his supposed
plan of bringing back some of tho exiled
"boodlers" to testify in the bribery cases. The
time thus spent is probably wasted. The Dis
trict-Attorney has all the evidence needed, as
the convictions of the Aldermen now in Sing
Sing bear witness
