The victory of the French Republicans is
most influential political paper in France.
and heretofore sturdy royalist and enemy
OF the Republic. has come out squarely in
favor of 1t, as Frances chosen form of gov
ernment Unhappily an assurance of a sta
BILE form of government does.ensure the great
est and best results for France. The idea Of
revenging themselves upon Germany has
taken hold upon French people snch as is
difficult of comprehension on this side Of
the water Even the boys in the schools talk
Of revenge. and lay their youthful plans to
wallop the Germans OF course, with such
a public sentiment already existing and
growing up in the country. war with Ger
many must come sooner or later. And it is
unfortunate that the recent election, by SO
demonstrating that the Republic is a stable
institution, has. without doubt, done much
to clear the way for the revenge. Russia
has for long time been looking for an
alliance with France, as an offset to the
triple alliance Of Germany, Austria and
Italy. So long as France was controlled by
weak land precafious government, an al
lance was, of course, out of the question,
but with strong government ills perfectly
easy, and will undoubtedly be perfected.
Then what will happen no man can tell,
though a mutual prophecy is that whatever
comes will be bad for the French people.
The Germans say that II the French do at
tack them, they will SO handle than that
France will be able to trouble neither Ger
many nor anyone else for one generation, at
least.

The vote on the prohibitory amendment In
Connecticut resulted, as everybody knew it
would. In an overwhelming defeat of the
amendment. All the New England States,
Vermont excepted, have now voted on the
question Of putting prohibition in the con-
stitutioD, and this is the record: Maine
supported the amendment bya large ma
jority; New Hampshire defeated it by a
majority vote, though two-thirds would
have been necessary to pass it; Massachu-
sets defeated 1t by large majority; Rhode
Island put 1t into the constitution and after
wards took 1t out; and now Connecticut has
refused to make II part Of its organic law.
II the vote on this amendment is q correct
test Of public sentiment Of New England in
regard to prohibition, then public sentiment
In four Of the six States is against it. But 1t
can hardly be considered fair test. A
great many voters In each of these States
who voted against the amendment are un-
doubtedly firm believers in statutory prohi.
billion; great many others are In doubt as
to the best method of SURPRISING the liquor
traffic, and while not hostile to prohibition
and ready to give 1t a trial, voted against the
amendment because they were not ready TO
shut the door against any other remedy.
The submission Of the amendment In all OF
the States excepting Maine is now
demonstrated to have been a mistake, for the
purpose Of the amendment was 10 help pro-
hibition, and the defeat has certainly hurt
1t. In several Of the States, notably in Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut, there was never
any sufficient prospect of success to justify
the submission. In New Hampshire there
was fighting chance, but even there sound
discretion would have sought rather to
strengthen the prohibition statute directly
rather than by the round about way of
amendment to the constitution.

Pertland's Visitors,

Portland extended a hearty welcome to
she delegates from the countries to the south
OF us last night. Unfortunately the time
was short, and the opportunities for seeing
Portland and getting an adequate idea of its
commercial and manufacturing business were
limited. But the most was made OF the time
accorded, and the impressions left on the
mind of the delegates of our city cannot be
bat pleasant. The speeches at the banquet,
both on the part of hosts and guests were
eloquent and appropriate. and were an earn
est of frendllness and good will. Port
land may derive no direct commercial
benefit from this visit but certainly
indirectly 1t will be of advantage
to her. We have gained a better idea
of the people of South and Central America
on account of 1t. and they have gained a..
better idea OF us, and mutual understand
ing of each other is one of the essential
conditions of trade and commerce between
nations.

South American Trade and tho Tariff.

South American Trade and tho Tariff.
The Democratic and free trade papers
nave greeted the Congress of tie American
Nations with the discouraging arguments
that 1t Is no use to bring about closer COM
merclal relations with our Southern neigh
DORIS, Tor the reason that our tariff makes
our prices SO high that we can'r compete
with the English in the South American
markets. Now, were it shown to be true
that the prices Of goods which we should
wish to send South are higher, and are
pound to be higher, than English goods, it
would not necessarily follow that an at
Tempt 10 enter those markets would be fu-
uie. For the price is not everything. The
customs ana tastes Of the people, their
methous OF trade, the style of goods that
please them, the arrangement of credits TO
suit their convenience and needs. and ahove
all, ease and frequency of communication
are factors quite as important as a difference
Of slight fraction In price. But It is q mis-
take that our tariff system dooms us to an
unequal contest In the matter of prices.

Joint Debates.

The Republican State committee of Massa-

publican candidate for Governor, Hon. j. Q.
A. Bracket, the challenge to joint debate
issued by the Hon. w. E. RUSSELL the Demo
cratic candidate, through the Democratic
State committee. or course this will be
made the occasion for much ado by the
Democratic organs and numerous charges Of
cowardice against Mr.. Bracket. There will,
however, be no foundation for them. Joint
debates are no doubt entertaining to the
crowd. They make lots of fun, but as edu-
Gators CT the people, and as means Of de-
terminiOg which OF Two candidates best de-
serves election or which of two party plat
forms is the sounder they are as a Iule in
glorious failures. Smartness, ingenuity and
what is commonly described as gift OF CAB,
count for more in joint debates, than solid
ity, logic and genuine argument The one
who employed the latter would be voted By
the great majority of the audience stale,
fiat and Improbable" while his adversary
who said smartithings would be awarded the
blue ribbon. Unless, therefore, a man Is
quick at frepartee, ingenious In turning
points, and possessed Of considerable humor
he ought to keep out Of joint debates for no
matter how sound his position and how
weighty bis argument, II he is not Skillful in
rhetorical sparring lis certain to appear at
disadvantage alongside OF his mora agile,
but less powerful adversary. IL it is to b.
come the fashion for candidates to pit them
selves against one another In joint debates
then they should be chosen with reference to
their abilities in that direction. at the pres
snt time they are supposed to be chosen
with reference to their abilities to fill the
offices for which they are nominated. Ger
talniy in case of gubernatorial candidate
these abilities do not necessarily include ex-
pertness at rhetorical sparriDg, and the pres
ence or absence Of that quality ought not to
count either for or against him. Whether
Mr.. Bracket is match for Mr.. Russell in

POLITICAL CHAT.

4 New Mexico lawyer OF some dis
tinction, saws the New York Graphic,
who is stopping at the Madison hotel, is
Louis Sulzbacher, OF Las Vegas. His
name may appear any morning in the list OF
federal appointments as the new chief
Justice of that territory, as he is indOrsed
lor that place by three former delegates
and three former chief justices of the ter
ritory. Mr.. Sulzbacher is type of the
successful western man. He is a German,
and years ago was conducting a small
general store in New Mexico when bur
glar broke in and attempted to rob him.
He shot the man, who proved to have IN
hucntial connections and they endeavOred
to have Mr.. Sulzbacher indicted and pun
ished for his act. He got clear, of course,
but his glimpse of the courts gave him an
ambition to become lawyer. He could
then neither read nor speak English with
any tluency and could not write word OF
it. But he set to work on the books,
determined to master the language and
master the law. He was finally sufficient
" educated in both to be admitted to the
bar, and since then has by the diligent
practice OF his profession accumulated a
fortune OF quarter of million dollars.
He has given his children the advantage
of education which lie himself lacked and
they have been sent to school in New
York and abroad.

Lend Your Constitution a Hand.

Constitutions are much alike, and in
nine-tenths OF us the same causes produce
the same effects. Vertigo, dizziness, or
pain of any kind, excepting that of an
injury, can come only when there is in
our bodies some impurity of the blood
which we have not sufficient vitality tc
throw of without help. Therefore, the
proper thing to do is to get Immediately
the necessary help. No aid is so effective
as Brandreths Pills. When you fee
these ills coming on take from three tc
