The Assembly ceiling investigation has al
ready established this one important thing
Superintendent Andrews ought summarly to
be dismissed from Office. Republican and
Democratic witnesses have alike given testi-
mony which is fatal to his reputation as a pub
lie official IT is no longer possible to have
confidence in him.
NIessls. Cole, Sheehan and Gallup Of tho
committee testified on Wednesday that they
never heard il intimated that PAPER mache was
to be used in the construction Of the ceiling.
The committees talk was about an oak cell
ing" said Mr.. Cole; d" it was my impression
that it was to be a carved oak ceiling or quar-
tered oak ceiIing.r Mr.. Sheehan stated that
at the second committee meeting, in response
to a question which he himself pqt, Mr.. An
drews "made most pointed reply that the
ceiling was to be Of carved oak like that of tho
Senate Chamber" Mr.. Gallup in the same
unqualified manner swore that Mr.. Andrews
had assured him that the ceiling was to be OF
carved oak. "The first | heard of papier-
mache," added Mr.. Gallup, "was on eccmber
22"-when the ceiling was completed. Nor
does the testimony given by Mr.. En-, the other
member Of the committee who was called on
Wednesday, break the force of this evidence.
Mr.. Enz did indeed state that papier- macho
was mentioned at the second meeting of the
committee and did indeed express his surprise
that the other members Of the committee failed
to recall that fact But before he left the
witnesS-stand he rendered this assertion Of
little consequence by admitting that perhaps
Mr.. Andrews and myself were the only persons
that talked about the matter'-that is. about
papier- mache. 1t is impossible in view of all
this to resist the conclusion that Superintend-
ent Andrews deliberately deceived the com
mittee.
Nor is this the only reason why Superin-
tendent Andrews ought to receive his walk
ing papers. 1t is in evidence that he was
guilty Of the gross improperly of sending out
plans and specifications to some contractors
before the committee had passed upon the
papers, and so, Of course, before bids had been
advertised for. MIR. Andrews at the first
meeting statedD so Mr.. Enz testified. " that he
had received certain bids; but the committee
objected, saying it would not be fair without
advertising the job" Did Mr.. Andrews think
it was fair? Or was he willing to be unfair
for the sake Of favOring certain contractors?
There is general demand that the inyeSti-
eating probe should be remorSeeSSly pressed
to the bottom of this scandal. Let the whole
truth be laid bare, no matter who is hurt. That
the superintendent has outliycd his official use
fulnesS has been demonstrated.

tDo prem,or and decreed his downfall by a
vote Of 3o7 to 21e. This hostile majority
IMPLIED utter inability on the part OF the Re-
publican groups to unite upon any scheme Of
constitutional revision They voted for an adj
iournment Of the debate because they were I'M
nrcpared TO meet Boulangism with definite
and coherent programme
So comes TO an end an Administration that
was formed less than eleven months ago with
flattering promises of success anu stability.
The Premier had been President OF the Cham
her. was personally liked and respected by
the IDENTITIES. and seemed to have Il talent for
recmcilng hostile groups ON the Republican
side He possessed genuine political authority,
and was not lacking in courage and sagacty.
The duel which was forced upon him by Cen
oral Boulangcr added materially to his pres
tice. and he seemed destined SIX months age
70 play great part in the checkered history
If French politics. His force OF character and
ocgressiveness have fastened his downfall
When BoulangiSm with its outcries for dis
solution and revision acquired the proportions
of a National movement he resolutely strove
to turn it's own weapons against 1t. lie demand
ed revision on radical lines in the hope of de-
taching Boulangers Republican supporters and
reducing the coalition Of disaifected classes to
Monarch intrigue. II was bold expedient
for disarmng his opponents and stealing their
thunder; but il was rashly conceived, and has
promoted Republican discussions.
Floquet probably expected the Senate to re-
iect any measures which he might induce the
Deputies to pass, and counted upon reproducing
his Radical revision scheme in election adj
dresses during the autumn. In this way he
hoped to profit in political sense by his ex-
treme proposals in the direction OF a Jacobin
Constitution like that of II 90 without being
compelled to administer the Government under
the altered conditions In the end his pro
posals never reached the Senate but were re
lected by an Assembly that did not know its
own mind and punished him for perssting in
aqitating questions which nobody was pre-
pared to consider. Undoubtedly he was in
sincere in his advocacy Of revision; but that
is a fault that is shared by all factions in
France, whether republican or monarchical
He wanted to have the Constitution remain
unchanged, and at the same time to get credit
among the electors for outrivalling Boulangel
in his devotion to radical ideas. This kind OF
double dealing has naturally involved his down
fall

FLOOTETS DOWNFALL.

The Floquct Ministry escaped defeat on
Monday by a hairs breadth, and were over
taken yesterday by an avalanche that buried
them out of sight. The scrutin de liste was
abandoned with serious misgivings by Oppor-
tunists who remembered that Gambetta had
staked his political reputation upon it, and was
openly supported by a strong contingent Of
Radicals, who reduced the Government ma
iority to votes on the preliminary division.
That beggarly showing gave warning Of ap-
preaching downfall. The Scrutn dAnondisse-
ment bill was forced through the Senate at a
single sitting, and the ground cleared for the
struggle on revision. Like wary advocate
NJ. Floquet avoided giving bill OF particulars,
but brought forward the broad proposition that
the Constitution should be revised. Even with
his definite project Of revision held in reserve,
and with an elastic generalization in its place
that could be construed TO mean anything or
nothing, the, DEPUTIES turned their backs upon
