William Pitt Shearman, whose failure as a
Commissioner of Accounts is notorious, and who
was appointed six weeks ago to an office special
" created for him in the Finance Department,
has now been thrown out upon the cold world
again. Shearman's new place, for which his
qualifications were zero, has not proved to be a
bed Of roses. Mayor Grant, who has looked
askance on the Controllers course, has now de-
cided that the appointment was IRREGULAR and
Sherman has stepped down and out. OF course,
be ought never to have been made Supervisor
Of the Finance Department, even if there is any
need of such an official, and his retirement is
a matter for earnest congratuation. There
may be some politics in Mayor Grants course
toward Sherman, but if so, it is politics that
must prove advantageous to the city.

IL has not been an easy task to bring home
the survivors of the disaster in the harbor OF

ago. Between four and five hundred of them,
however, arrived at San Francisco yesterday
in the steamship Rockton, which was chartered
for the purpose. Admiral Kimberly and near
IL hundred others were left behind. There

0oIendS the outlay ne was ODIlge0 TO
incur in securing trustworthy military
information, and remarks that at the
time of the SchnaebeIe incident
France was nearer war than it had
ever been for many years. What
he has TO say about the manner in
which he combated "the vast system
Of e~spIonnage" organised by one of
the Great Powers will attract a con-
siderable amount OF attention on the
Continent. According to the mani
f-sIo, the threads of this espionage
system were in the bands of a single
military "atrache" of the Power in
question; and CATER a thousand et-
forts" the place where he secreted
his papers was discovered, his desk
ransacked, and in q single night his
list of spies, together with the reports
addressed to his Government, were
all copied out. The next morning
he awoke in blissfuI ignorance that
his documents had been touched.
"Whatever this man9uvre may haye
cost, asks the General, triumphantIy,
lis there a single Frenchman who
will dare to say that it was paid for
too dearly g"
In defending himself against using
some of the money which fell into his
hands at the French War Office for a
loan TO the "Cercle Militaire," or
Military Club, in Paris, the General
takes occasion 10 add a little local
colour TO his latest e%ffnsion by praiS-
ing the usefulness Of our own EArmy'
and Navy Club" 1t is NOT, however,
to minute points like This that the
attention ofthe French people will be
chiefly drawn. The General is &C
cused of an attempt against the State,
of secret plots to use military force
at the time Of the last Presidential
election. But on the 11lh OF July,
The day on which he was supposed to
be plotting in Paris, he was lying i'll
in bed AT CIerm0nt Ferrand. This
charge of treason to the Republic 10
that which is most likely TO tell
against the BouIangist chances of the
elections. In the eyes of MonarchiSts
and Bonapartists it may be a virtue;
but General BouIanger's hope lies in
detaching from the Republican party
a sufficient number of votes to aid
him, with the partial assistance of
the Conservatives, in gaming an cleo
toral victory. The idea that in him
France would gain n ruler who only
poses an a devout Republican in order
to further his ambitious designs, and
that a new Empire, with all it's exter-
nal periIs, would follow a BouIangist
triumph, is exactly that against which
the General most Stren0ousIy protests.
What he has to say on this point is
of considerable and more than auto
biographical interest. The greatest
repr0ach addressed to him, he declares,
by the more ardent of his friends. is
his absolute respect for legality, con
secrated by the suffrages of his people.
Il" he adds, "who am accused Of
treason, believe, that the only wea-
pom which it is permissible to use is
the voting ticket; and, if universal

great event for Il day at the end olthe
present month, as has been suggested,
it would probably run no serious
danger of diminishing the attractions
OF the Exhibition whilst the most
powerful enemy of the existing re-
gime, General Boulanger, will by that
time have been safely condemned, and
will, therefore, find it impossible to
trouble the Ministry by his personal
presence ut the election urns. The
rumour that the General intended i'm
m~ediately to quit London, and try his
chances before the Senatorial tribu-
nal which is to Judge him, has appar-
emily but slender foundation in tact.
1t may be that in a moment of exas-
peration at the result of the Cantonal
elections some of his more ardent ad,
visers would have counselled a pro-
menade straight into the lions
mouth !; but General BouIanger him
self is sufficiently prudent to know
the peril attending such a step and
the ACCESSIBILITY OF keeping himself in
reserve in case of ~eventuaIities de-
manding his active participation in
French affairs. The only instance of
late in which the Boulangist propa-
ganda has appeared to be carried on
with less than it's usual ability and
grasp Of fact has been in this very
matter of the elections to the Munici-
pal Councils. By the friends of the
General it must now be regretted that
he allowed himself to throw away a
portion OF his prestige so needlessly
and at so in0pportune a moment, con-
sidering the near advent Of the much
more important Parliamentary poll
ings. Homer, however, sometimes
mods, and General BouIanger has
been thought to have been finally
extinguished several times over in
his adventurous career, and has al
ways "come up smiling" without re-
gard to pesslmist prophecies. As
we have already said, the result of
the Municipal Elections affords no
real criterion of how the voting will
go as regards candidates for the
Chamber. |ln,lOcal electoral struggles
it is not the Saviour of society" who
runs most chance of selection; it is
the man most likely to serve the lower
needs of each petty town, and the
personality most familiar to its in
habitants. All this will be altered
when the clarion of the General
Election peals through France.
Meanwhile General Boulanger's
enemies are active, and the Public
Prosecutor is ready with the indict-
ment which is forensicaIIy to over
whelm the exile. The latest counter
move Of the B~oulangiSts shows that
they also are quite alive to the needs
OF the occasion, and are prepared to
meet political spite by the use of
stratagem. General Boulanger has
issued a fresh appeal to The French
people, in which he describes how "a
happy chance" has placed in his
hands the whole file of documents in
the High Court bearing on his case;
and how, therefore, he is able Il an

France to which, in one portion of
his address, the General pays a warm
tribute of praise. As il has TO deal
with a great number of specific accu-
s%ations, the address, "to the people
my sole Judge" is necessarily a
lengthy document Il address my
SELF" the General begins, ''to all
honest men, and not to the Judges
of the High Court, whose juriS-
diction and whose impartia'ity |
alike call in question" 1t must be
acknowledged that a prosecution
which manufactures a charge against
a man because years ago he Is aIleg-
ed to have tried to make money out
of "coffee tablets" musr be somewhat
deficient in weigbtier evidence. This
was in Tunis, before the General be-
came famous and of course he an
Swer8 that it is all false, and the vile
invention of some paid informer. In
deed, the General knows the name OF
this mercenary individual, and glbbets
him in his address before the eyes OF
all France. "The false witness Buset"
has been subventioned by the Govern
ment to bring forward odious insinna-
tons against the head of the BOulan-
gist party ; and the latter, being at
tackled, as he expresses il, both in his
character as IA soldier and an honest
man, can no longer keep silence. The
Public Prosecutor is denounced as a
"rOmancer without TALENT and the
General points with pride to his TWEEN

twenty campaigns, AM his wounds

maintains, has forgotten or misrepre-
scented. The General makes fan Of
one clause in his indictment, which
accuse him, when he was only a
General of Brigade, Of "eXce~sive
ambitions" The "ofair of the epau-
IeItes" he passes over as lightly and
he has a ready answer to the terrible
charge that, when he was Minister

gaily, chat the number OF portraits
is not higher" lnnumerable persons
have made money by selling his pic
lures, "more or less like me, and
occasionally ,idiculous" but the
General declares that he himself
never authorised a single enc, and
declines to be responsible for them.
Here, again, il the B~oulangIsts have
indeed become possessed of a genuine
copy of the Indictment, il appears
passing strange how a self-respecting
Government could >toop to the petit
ness of an accusation such as this Of
the forty-fOur portraits. A new ter

What is q Canard?

This word, meaning an extrava-
CANT and ridiculous fabrication, is
from the French, canard, a duck.
The story of application to such
meaning is that a French writer, in
ridicule of the extravagant stories
OF his day, set afoat an absurd
story in regard to the extraordinary
voracity of ducks, alleging that 20
having been placed together, one of
them was killed and cut into small
pieces, feathers and all, and thrown
to the other nineteen, who immedi-
ately swallowed it. The same thing
was repeated with the same result
until at length but one remained,
this one having devoured the other
nineteen in very brief time. The
story was circulated in nearly all
the European journals and after
having been forgotten for several
years was revived, with some addi-
tons and Establishment in America.
Fabrlcations of this kind came to
be called canards,-Ex.
