observes, in the course Of very able and
comprehensive leader, as follows: General
de Charette commenced his address at the
royalist banquet with sentence which
must command universal assent. None
will deny that the scene now opened before
MS in France is q strange one. Among
Frenchmen it ia no new thing. That nm
perialist, monarchists and republicans
should be exchanging defances and re-
proaches is matter Of course. The gov
ernment which, for the moment, represents
republicanism, exists kind OF parliament
ary suiferancs which is at once contempt
uous, and it would have been elected with

democrats been able to agree upon suc-
cessor. The reprieve il has obtained is

the republican party is exposed, in the first
place, ia, assaults, but the factions of Bo-
napartism and royalism are not in them
selves more secure. General de Charette,
like his master, endeavored to reconcile
the Bourbon divine right with modified
supremacy of the popular will. He tried
TO show how plebiscite might effect for
Comte De Paris what it could never do for
anybody not bourbon. General de
Charette's criticisms on the Boulangist
movement are indisputable. The danger
OF General Boulanger's attempt to storm
the citadel of authority has some times
teen supposed to consist in the contingent
cy of military declaration for him, but
the French army always has honorably alb
stained from becoming an ins' 'rument OF
political agitation. Nothing shows Gen
eral Boulangers weight with it to be de-
gree to induce it to alt its traditional
rule. he charm of Boulanger.sm simply is
that it is protest against parliamentar-
ism. So long as elec: Ors are not obliged
to regard too closely the claims OF their
candidate and have before their eyes the
spectacle of tumult of struggles for as
cendancy in the national assembly they
will accept him as their deliverer from
chaos. The principle Of per onal liberty
is, as General de Charette asserts, the real
means with which Bonlanger works. Such
! success as he has attained proves TO the
fancy Of royalists only that France is call
ing for man to rule 1t and necessarily
must prefer the line of its ancient kings to
an nntried and unknown adyenturer.
A Celebrated Case
| The jury in the case Of r. r. Wilson &
| Co., vs. b. L. Harding, the American
Mortgage Investment company and others,
| at Des Moines, rendered verdict giving
the plaintiff for 81 damages ON his claim
OF about $l3O,OOO. A large majority Of
the jurors were strongly for verdict for
| the defense, but two or three refused to be
governed by the evidence. and Judge Love
urged them to agree, as the government
had already been ut large expense. One of
the parties could i'll afford another trial,
/ and If the jury did not agree no other ever
| would. 1t was under this urgent pressure
from the court that compromise was
reached. The charge in the petition was

fraudulent statements to plaintiff con-
