rae Eleetion q cen. B0ulanger

An election was held on January p lelec-
lions are always held on Sunday in France
in the Department Of the Seine, Paris, for a
seat in the Chamber of Deputies, and BOu-
LANCER was elected BY 81. 500 majority. The
New York Sua says:
The election Of Gen. Boulanger by a ma
iority, equally surprising TO his supporters
and his opponents, Is q serious and perhaps
ominons event for France and for the peace
Of Europe. Ii should not be forgotten. how
ever. in endeavoring 10 estimate its immediate
or ultimate effect upon the French republic
that all the elements Of opposition not only
to the republican form of Government, but
10 the present Ministry we're massed on
Boulaneer's side. The Monarchists and
Imperialists who hope to use him As a cats
nav, or IN any event TO profit by the demon
strntion Of the weakness Of the Government
and the sentiment ia favor Of change; the
Socialists and Radicals who will not consent
10 tbs Floquet programme for revision Of
the Constitution BY Congress Of the present
Senate and Chamber Of Deputies; the Catho-
lies whom the Republic has unnecessarily an
tagonized: Panama Canal stockholders, dis
satisfied Republicans, tradesmen impatient at
a bungling financial policy, "Reyeuge"
enthusiasts who think to find in the former
War Minister an organizer and soldier 70 bear
the Germans-all these found IN BOnlanger
the instrument 10 express their hopes OF dist
appointments. His programme was eleye-
and popular. BE appealed 10 the nation to
utter its will BY means of a Constituent As
sembly. The Floqnet plan would have limited
the change within the narrow bounds allowed
by the Chambers. Clearly the proposals of
Boaanger were on their face more attractive
EXCEPT to those thoughtful electors who had
the fear Of another 1851 before their eyes, or
who feared any disturbance Of the existing
order Of things.
II remains to be seen whether Gen. Bou-
LANCER has the viii and personal force TO make
himself great political power. Diseordant
elements compose his following and his po-
sition, however eminent al present, is one Of
difficulty. Nowhere is the step from the
sublime tothe ridiculous so short as in France.
And is Paris France still VIII the nation

Chamber be tried and found wanting, and so

iBonlanger) or for a restoration Of the Bour-
bon Monarchy These are questions which
France must answer. The republic is appar-
emily entering upon period of stress and
trial. That reconstruction may be the worst
to befall her is the sincere hope of her friends
in her sister republic of the United States.

Compliments, Ladies.
From The Washington d. O. Post.


The women we have with us always, and
we are glad of it. The world was drear, the
garden was a wild and man the hermit sighed
till woman smiled. 1t was true yesterday, 1t
is true to. day, it will be true forever: But
there were no politics in the garden. Neither
were there petticoats. To-day we have poll
ties and petticoats in combination. And
what combination! 1t would have revolu-
tionized Eden inside of "a hours, even if there
hadn't been An apple within 400 miles OF the
place. But it does not revoluGonize this por-
ton of the moral heritage outside OF the
garden. We have had 5000 years in which
to prepare for the strain, and we are fairly
well prepared.
The result of the late election is only n
repetition of the crushing defeat the tyrant
man has been piling upon detenceless ana
lovely woman ever since the necessities OF
language demanded the introduction OF q
feminine pronoun. 1t is terrible state OF
affairs, but it cannot be remedied with the
means at hand. Man is willing to be bossed
domestically, and to bow in humble submls-
sion beneath his own roof, but in the free air
of heaven, beyond his own front gate, he feels
that he has some rights that a woman Is
bound to respect Freemen has been too
long a word that makes the echoes ring and
frenzies liberty with delight to have II trod
under woman's foot. He comedies that her
sphere is described in the circumvallating
hem of the petticoat, and does not seek to
dispossess her.
When she demands that she be instructed
in the mysteries of the ballot box, the chilean
cry of campaigns, the broils of the Doodle
the distribution of drinks, the wickedness o.
wirepulling, the slogans of the sluggers, and
the thousands of other phenomena Of political
paraphernalia, he rises in his might, and witt
| a grasp of iron yanks her back into the sane
| tilted serenity of her domestic surrounding
and tells her to stay there. But she does no
| stay there As the leaves put forth, as the
| flowers bud and bloom, as the birds CONT
| forth in the morning, so she comes tortl
| again to dabble in the dirt, and again Is sh'
snatched to salvation by her cruel Oppressor
We presume it will ever be so, and w
| submit to the inevitable as we submit to tbs
woman, not because we want to, but because
we must Women of the land, we make yoI
! our best bow Go on in the paths you hay,
blazed for yourselves, and as long rs there l
a man in this broad land of freedom, so lone
| will there be protection for you agains

TWO DOLLARS AND A DOG AHEAD.

TWO DOLLARS AND A DOG AHEAD.
A rather nervous old lady. whose gray hair
was concealed by huge. tapping sun bonnet
and who had for a companion her daughter,
pleaded this afternoon with Commissioner
Douglass for the life Of their pet dog. The
agile dog catchers had ensnared the animal be-
cause it was not decorated with tag. Now a
tag for the current year costs %, and
1t takes - more to release the pound
masters grip on any unfortunate canine
which falls into his clutches. Four dollars
was more than the old lady could afford to
spend. for she and her daughter earn what
little they get By taking in washing. Had they
been possessed of the requisite sum they would
however, undoubtedly have sacrificed it,
but they didn't have it and there was 10
expectation of their having il for some DAYS
to come. In their distress they went to
the Commissioner and told the whole story.
DR.. Iindall was called in, and after
he had escorted the joyful couple
down stairs and bought them a tag with their
own S2) they departed for the pound Just 81

be this afternoon.

TWO PROBLEMS SETTLED.
The White Cross University Pass ON the
Elixir and the Maybrick Questions.

The White Cross university Of science, body
which was organized and incorporated in this
city few days since, has taken up national
and international matters and il settling them
a. rapidly as possible. The board of trustees
FIRST came to . conclusion as TO the Brown
Sequard elixir. After searching discussion it
resolved that ''this fluid, taken from an animal
Of one species and injected into the circulating
blood Of man or an animal Of another species
Is abhorrent to the law Of nature-that each
shall be and remain Of its kind a. created
originally; that such elixir il corruptble on
exposure to the oxygen Of the air and becomes
putrid; that its speedy use by injection would
not render it capable of becoming . component
part OF the natural circulation, but it must
assume the character OF septic, foreign SUBJ
stance and generate blood poison, with a gen.
eral septic condition OF the circulating blood,
OF which it cannot form an element" The
resolutions go on to state that the injection of
the so-called elixir near the heart results more
rapidly than when the injection is made below
the knees; this having been discovered bv
members OF the university far back as
several years ago. I'm one case" it is quoted,
"a dog died within one minute when injected
above the heart. TRANSMISSION of blood Of the
same species is some thing practicable from a
i ipli healthy to depleted person, but only OF
therefore declines to admit the said Brown
Sequard elixir as remedial agent"
THE MAVERICK CASE.
Having thus declared its lack of faith in the
latest medical sensation, which it declares to be
old anyhow, the board of trustees took up the
Maybrick case and resolved that ''arsenic
having an affinity for the iron Of the blood will
for years remain in the system. as found in his
(Mr. Maybrick's) case. and is no evidence Of
murder by arsenic; that the question Of ami
mus cannot arise in law until there is primary
proof in fact that murder has been commit
ted" Other judicial argument is made in the
resolutions, and reference is made to the ex-
preston He is sick unto death" The ultima
tum is "This university Of science therefore, in
the interest Of humanity, entertains the opinion
that her majesty's government may justly re-
NIT Mrs. Maybrick's sentence and gra MT her q
pardon. Resolved that this view Of her case
be transmitted to her majesty's minister to the
United States, with the request that it be for
warded to her majesty's government"
Both documents are signed by the members
OF the board OF trustees, Profs. VIM. Wheeler
Hubbell, Romulus w. Ruter, Lee Crandall,
Samuel NJ. Baldwin and Zachariah V. Purdy
The Maybrick resolutions have been transmit
ted to the British minister.
