show that even IN Europe commerce and
art can be sometimes more potent than
politics The average daily Attendance 80
far has been l0i 900, and the average is
going higher every week. The English
Government in particular ought to feel
ashamed of its ridiculous course in order
ing its minister away from Paris when the
Exposition was opened. As 2ti3 members
of the English Parliament have signed
paper addressed to President Carnot re-

that public opinion in Great Britain does
not sustain the Government in this matter.
