greatly dishearten those moderate
and sensible Republicans, who are the
ultimate hope of France. They de-
sire, before all things, to "close the
era OF revolutions; to make the Re-
public solid; TO create in the minds
of Frenchmen the impression, which
exists so strongly in America and Swift
zrrIand, and, indeed, in all strong
States, that there is no such thing as
an alternative method of government,
that the Constitution will exist always
and that al querreIs of opinion, ever
those which affect The distribution of
property and the methods of securing
obedience to law, must he fought out
within il. They know that until this
can be done, there is no security
against monarchy, or miIitarism, or a
regime OF dlctators, for every ambi-
tIOus parry in France will seek to re-
volulioni>e the form OF government,
inst al of the direction Gifts working.
They thought they had secured their
object when, in 1870, the peasantry
turned Republican, and thus ended the
quarrel which had led 10 the NapO-
Ieonic restoration. They thought so
still more strongly when, in 1879,
Marshal MacMAhon resigned; and
when, in 1886, NJ. Gl6vy was re-
elected President without even IA
creak in the body Of the constitutional
machine. And now to see the very
floor of their edifcp, for the practice
OF election is the floor, exhibiting a
great crack, as if The soil below were
looseniug and giving way II a large
section of the people long for a dicta-
rorShip, there is, they see, no security
for the Republic. The very menn.
ness ot tn man enhances the anger,
for while great men are rare, little
men are all about; and if a little man
will suffice, there is always a dictator
ready. The %sp0nlaneity of the move
ment, too, increases the alarm. There
is an effort to deny this spontaneity,
but it must be an afterthought. There
is talk of this or that secret Organisa-
ton, and of a distribution ut pam
phIeIs but the Governm'n nj, which
in France is omni-preSent, knew 10
thing Of The movement, and neither
committee o pamphlcteer conld
have made hfty-6ve thousand French,
men vote under the ballot against
their will. The electors must have
acted from a common impulse, which
was a common liking for the popular
notion embodied in General BouIan-
gers name, The incident may turn
out to be nothing; but it may also
turn on, to be like the vote of the
minority in Napoleon HIS last

accurately how opinion drifts. In

TIE REAPPEARANOB OF GENERAL
BOULAEGER.
From the Spectator, 3rd March,

disconnected and perplexed by the
miniature pLebjScite given on Sunday
in favour OF General BDulanger. NO
more remarkable symptom has ever
been shown OF latent MalGiSe in the
bouy polite of France. There were
seven by-eIections to the Chamber on
Sunday, and though General Bou'an-
ger is by law Ineligible as a cadidate,
issued no address, made no speech,
and publicly at least, abstalned from
putting himself forward in any way
he received IN every department serl-
Gus and spontaneous support. NO
less than fifty five thousand ballots
were east for him, an average OF near
ly eight thousand votes in each depart
ment. If they had bee" given IN
Paris, the incident would have been
of little importance, as it would only
have proved hat the new Lafayette
has not yet lost his popularity with
the lower PAriSianS; but these voters
were ~rurals, peasants aud artisans
scattered through large departments
their vote was in the main %spOntane-
Gus, and there is no proof that 1t was
affected by any sort Of locaIlSm. Ii
hardly could be, in fact, for under
Scrutin de Ijste a whole department
votes. The evidence, in fact, is that
in the coming election General b"u-
LANCER may be a formidable candid
ate throughout France and may even
be- returned to the Chamber by as
many departments as returned M
Theirs, a division Of the ~peasantry
everywhere Inserting his name III the
place of one of the names On the caro-
of names made necessary by Scr"tt" dc
IiSte. Thar would be a grav" incl
dent, and it is natural that politicians
should study its causes very deeply
1t may mean that the relatives 0t tue
conscripts are still full OF gratitude
for all the General did for the private
soldier, or that a section Of French
voters are eager for war, or that a
proportion OF them are longing to
substitute a dictatorship for tn" slow
or, and to them perpIexing, method
of government by discussion.
The first solution is by no means
an improbable me. There are many
signs that the French masses, though
they do not resist the transcription,
watch it with increasing jealousy and
care. They regard it, now that lucky
numbers" are practically abolished,
and soldiership is not a chance but a
certainty, as the heaviest of their bur
dens, part with their sons with in
creaspng reluctance, and display a
quite new srnsitiveness az to the pro-
liability OF injury inflicted on the CON
scripts health. They are said to
hear of ''orders tor Africa" with
groans, and they openly protest
against tropical expeditions in q way
clearly reflected within the Chamber
itself. They fear, in fact, for their
children the bigh proportions which

even than they fear battles for the
dead have at Ieast glory, while the
