in the evenings, preaching to the anti Boulanger students, that they may see and turn from the errors of their way. But in vain. Mounting chair aHd ad- dressing a crowd of revelling medical students he will shout, Come and work for the greatness of France and when the day comes which you say you apprehend, when Gen. Boulanger should cease from being the first servant of the republic and aspire to be the master, 1, Deroulede, swear to you that I'll shoot him like mad dog in the street. without fear and without remorse." But the students only laugh and order more beer. The promise is fine index of French poli- tics; stump speaker" assures his au- dience that he will shoot an official like a mad dog, if said official does not ad- minister the government as promised. The trouble with Deroulede, as with many other French politicians, is that he drinks too much absinthe in his brandy.
 Originally the league contained men of all parties, and in it's halls there was complete social and political amnesty; Royalist, Republican, Bonapartist, even the Socialist, Orleanist and rare Bourbon extremist, chatted and joined hands "Frenchman is our only family name,' 5 said Deroulede Athletic sports greatly increased under its impulse; its shooting clubs were the delight of the boys and young men. Henri Martin, the philoso- pher and historian, was its first president and many eminent men were in its ranks. But they soon run it into politics." Of course they did-''they" always do. Al though it's original bylaws forbade its members from embroiling its organiza- | ton in active politics, 1t has come by 1 degrees to assume the form of a vast electoral machine, and it's power was l felt at Boulanger's election in Paris last January. x&*
 l Deroulede led in the change, and when President Grevy was overthrown for screening his son-in-law Wilson's mis- deeds Deroulede led on a mob which threatened tho ministry and cheered for Boulanger and Grevy. On the night of Dec. 1, 1887, he led in a small riot and was arrested. The election of Sadi-C Car not settled the matter for the time. Louise Michel became notorious about that time, so some satirist on the side of the government composed ribald song on the marriage of Michel and Derou- lede. All Paris laughed long and heart fly, and so the danger was over.
 I But the Parisian demagogue is queer i. compound of the tiger and the monkey when he is net laughing or dancing he wants blood, and the next opportunity for riot was the Atchinoff affair. A Cos sack fanatic, or Russian emissary lone cannot say with certainty, led colony of Russians to Abyssinia and established combined fort and convent; the French governor commanding the strip granted there to the French drove out the Atchinoff colony, after a bombardment which killed man, two women and three children. There was a delicate correspondence between the French and the Russian cabinets, and the League oi Patriots seized the occasion to "demon- strate." Then the government ordered descent on the headquarters of the league. seized all its papers and claim: to have discovered evidence of horrible conspjracies.
 Be 1t noted that the spirit of all tht leagues performances is frantic desir, to overthrow every politician who is no full of hatred to Germany. Hence tn rioting and threats of revolution in cas, Ferry should be elected president: henc the grand march of thousands to threatel the assembly, and hence the peace whel Carnot was elected and the disappoint ment of the extremists who wanted t, overthrow the entire Moderate party The government has impeached Messrs Deroulede, Laguerre and Richard, an( their trial begins April 2, as every one ii anxious to clear the field before the grea exposition opens; and there is a taci agreement that the political war shal be suspended while the expected hal million or more visitors are il France The charge against the ac cused is that they designed to hav an organized mob attack and overthrow the assembly. The league is commanded by proclamation to cease all it's proceed ings and hold no meetings till permission is renewed.
