A MINISTERIAL crisis in France ap-
pears to be again approaching. The
cabinet of M. Tirard has lasted
about a year. so that the crisis may
fairly be considered long since over
due.
A new shutting Of the cards will
doubtless furnish a new Ministry
with the usual six months lease OF
life. 1T can hardly be called tenure
of power.)
The services of the present Cabinet
have been considerable. They took
the reins when Boulanger was strong
enough to threaten the existence OF
the Republic. As they lay them
down Boulangism seems to be thor
oughly dead.
The glory of this triumph belongs
chiefly, It must be confessed. to the
grand Exposition, which gave the
French people six months to forget
Boulanger. M. Eiffel has perhaps
been of more service to France than
M. Tirard.

our anticipations, which are by no

We believe that q reduction in the

is far from impossible that the whole

The Portuguese and the Election.
MIR. EDITOR: There is an impress
sion prevailing in some quarters, that
the Portuguese voted what they re-
garded as the Opposition ticket at
the late election, which they were
certain to do If they followed the
leadings of the Luso Hawaiiano, and
the instructions said to have been
given them privately by parties who
should have known better.
This too, in spite of the fact that
it Is to this Government or the party
it represents, that they owe their
right of suffrage.
Not that we would ask them to
support even the government that
gave them the suffrage, if it proved
to be corrupt, but it would have been
only common decency to stand by
the party that gave them the ballot,
so long as its honest aim and effort
was to maintain the good govern
ment which it has established and
maintained to the present time.
But it is wonderful to see, not only
what conceptions some men have of
'good government" but how soon
they turn against a government that
does not give them Office.
is man to labor to secure s'good
government" only for the sake Of the
Office which he hopes to secure as a
channel through which to fill his
pockets? And after laboring pro-
fessedly for the establishment of
principles, is he to repudiate the
party that represents those princi-
Piles because it has failed to reward
him with Office! Bah!
What can 'good government"
mean in the conceptions of q man
who contemptuously cries mission

as 8 fit cause of condemnation, the
fact that it attempts to restrain the

The meaning of the astonishing
Importance which socialism is be-
ginning to assume In German poll
tics IS naturally the subject of very
wide diversity OF opinion The Ger
man Liberals attribute it primarily
to the operation of the policy OK Wig
orous suppression which Bismarck
has followed for years The policy
of the German Government In regard
to socialism is like that Of England
towards crime In Ireland.
The socialistic law is true coer-
cion act, creating crimes unknown to
the ordinary penal code This law
limits the freedom OF assembling, OF
speech and of the Press. The Social
lists could not, it is said, post the
names Of their candidates for cleo
ton on the walls.
Experience has shown both in
Germany and in Ireland, that coer-
cion is dreary failure, and only ag.
gravates the evils which 1t seeks to
suppress. It makes martyrs for the
prosecuted cause, and thus helps j,
to thousands of adherents. The
election returns are proof of this
view. They are a Plea for freedom
and a protest against coercion.
Whether this view of the affair Il
correct or not, it is one which is moi
only widely entertained abroad, but
one which is obtaining prevalence in
constantly widening circles in the
Fatherland itself. This is conclu
sively shown, both by the circum
stance that the, "Freisinnige" OF
Liberals, who have always repre-
sented this standpoint, made con
siderable gains at the election, ans
still more conclusive by the fact tina
the last Reichstag, though strongl!

refused to renew the socialistic Law
without some modification in the il

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April S-A special
to The Tribune from Des Moiues, Ia. says:
conference OF anti Prohibition Repub-
licans was held in this city yesterday, at
which about 100 delegates were present rep
resenting twenty of the cities of Iowa. The
movement is one started for the purpose of
forcing the Republican party in Iowa TO
throw over Its prohibition principles, and
return 10 the advocacy of license, the rea-
son being that in many of the cities of the
state the law is So openly violated that the
saloons are far worse than under a license
law.
Substance of the Resolutions.
The men gathered here Yesterday are Re-
publicans who have not followed the party
into Prohibition, and who believe that the
party will be wholly defeated unless the law
is repealed. Some stirring speeches were
made and resolutions adopt II declaring
that the party in Iowa should not endanger
the national psrty by espousing local issues,
| and denouncing prohibition.
Some of the Views Expressed.
Ex-Governor Kirkwood was expected to
Be present, but illness in his family kept him
| at home He, however, sent letter ex-
pressing full sympathy with the object OF
convention. Personally the governor
says, Il am in favor of local option and high
| license, with most stringent regulations

| present law does
The reading of this letter was loudly ap
plauded George E Hubben, of Scot
| county, formerly Prohibitionist, presided
| over the convention He said in his speech
| that he would still be Prohibitionist if that
| policy could be enforced But in Scott
