PARIS, December 19.-In the Senate To-
day during q debate on the budget III.
Cbslleme- Lacour said that the present was
not the moment 10 consider the French
finances, but the future Of France. He con-
demned the policy now pursued IN the
schools. which, he said, struck at the root
Of the traditional principle Of parental con-
troll. The maIu cause OF the existing evils,
be declared. was radicalism, which relent-
lessly pursued the old founders OF
the republic and gave promises that
were impossible to fulfil. France had
abandoned 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 towards the abyss, but instead
OF doing this the Cabinet we're fastening the
movement. II was time 10 return 10 the
policy Of good sense. He sppealed 70 the
Right 10 unite with the party OF the Lett,
which was the uphOlder OF order and liber-

The speech created a sensation, and at It's
conclusion the senators arose en- mGSSe and
cbeered toe orator.
Premier Floquet remarked that the speech
OF Chslleme-Lacour might be analysed ~ an
act OF repentance aud an act Of good fAtn.
Csllemei-Lscour has urged that France
should look 10 the Rig BIT for salvation. Several
senstors protested against this remark. M.
Floquet asked for a few moments fOrbear-
ance. Continuing, be said that he had not
solicited the power which bad been imposed
upon him, but during the office he bad tried
10 effect concentration OF the parties on the
Leit. The Cabinets policy bad been wise and
republican. Ia forming that policy he bad
introduced the proposal to reestabiish the
single member constituencies IN order 10 be
able 10 continue the struggle. NJ. Floquet
at this point suddenly left the tribune. His
action caused general astOnishment.

LacOur's speech. He said be regretted the
reply made by NJ. Floquet, and declared that
the Premier had not risen to the occasion.
A great uproar thercupon ensued.
