5 The course pursued by the French Foreign
Office in regard to the expulsion Of the al
legged journalist CHADoUINE, is attracting O
degree Of attention out OF all proportion to
the insigniflcance OF the person ostensibly
concerned. 1t Is not unreasonably regarded
as the first move toward the fulfilment OF
an agreement that France shall cooperate
with Russia In putting such pressure on the
Porto as to cause an open rupture between
Turkey and Bulgaria. and thus reopen the
Southeastern question. II the French Min
listers have promised to play the Cars
game In the Balkan peninsula. even 80
trivial pretext as the CHADoUINE incident
may serve their turn.
French journalists have been repeatedly
expelled from Germany. but the affront. II
such 1t may be deemed. has been discreetly
pocketAd. It is. however. maintained by
French diplomatists that the powers &C
knowlSdged to belong to great potentate
like Kaiser WILLIAM II. are not vested in
Prince FERDINAND, who has never been &C.
cepted by France as an independent SOW
ereign. The French republic has sent no reg
ularly accredited envoy to Sofia. but is
merely represented there by a diplomatic
agent. Just as 1t is in Egypt. which. like Bull

Ottoman Empire. Indeed, according to NJ.

designated lieutenant Of the Sultan.
whereas the authority assumed by Prince
FERDINAND has never been sanctioned by
the Porte. Consequently the French For

position Of those semi utonomous adiuncts

Mr.. Harrison and the Judges.

There are some circumstances concern
ing the selection OF the new Circuit Judges
OF the United States Just nominated by tho
President which have escaped general at
tention.
The very unusual departure from prec-
edent on the part Of a Republican Admin.
istration In appointing some Democrats to
judicial Office has been the subject OF much
comment, most OF which has been favorable.
1t is on interesting fact. however. that the
Democrats who have been nominated are
residents Of States which are usually
strongly Republican. These gentlemen are
Mr.. WILLIAM L. PUTNAM Of the First
NJ. DALLAS Of the Third Circuit. who lives
In Pennsylvania. In q strong Democratic
State like New York the Federal bench still
remains wholly Republican.
In this circuit the new Circuit Judge is to
be NATHANIEL SHIPMAH. now United States
District Judge for the District OF Connecti-
cut. The promotion OF Judge SHIPMAN Is
regarded with favor. even In this State. as
New York already has two representatives
on the bench OF tho Circuit Court In Judge
WALLACE OF Syracuse and Judge LAcoMBE
Of this city. No doubt Judge CHARLES L.
BENEDICT Of Brooklyn. who presides over
the District Court Of the United States for
the Eastern District Of New York. had
strong claims to the new place. based on
his long term Of service as District Judge
and his exceptional experience and ability
as an admiralty lawyer. In the newly con-
stItuted Federal Court Of Appeal for this
circuit. there will be no Judge whose
knowledge Of admiralty'ls law equals that OF
Judge BENEDICT. But inasmuch as the
circuit comprises the States Of New York.
Connecticut, and Vermont. we suppose the
President thought that geographical con-
siderations ought TO have some influence.
and that all three Circuit Judges should not
be appointed from New York. nv
Another noticeable fact In respect to the

It is not only in the States Of the Atlantic
seaboard that the grip Is now prevalent. but
also in those Of the West. the South. and the
Pacific coast It is even more widespread than
it was when 1t appeared in this country two
years ago. We infer from our telegraphic de-
spotches OF the past few weeks that the pro-
portion OF cases to the population Is largest In
the New England States. especially in Connec-
ticut. In most places 1t is. as yet. Of milder
type than 1t was when 1t visited us two years
ago. and the deaths from It in this city
have been few. 1t exists in localities
where tho weather is mild not less
than In others where 1t is chilly and stormy.
It prevails in the mountainous regions OF
West Virginia and Tennessee. as well as In the
plains regions OF Missouri and Kansas. We
have heard hardly anything about it's exist
ence in the 6tatos lying on the Gulf Of Mexico.
We infer from tho dispatches that it Is OF q
severer type in California and in Maryland
than in any Of the other States. and that the
sufferers from It are more numerous in New
Jersey and Connecticut than anywhere else
In Austria It attacks the horses as we'll as
the PEOPLE. and here in New York several Of
the monkeys In the Central Park have been
brought to their death by It.
Some doctors hold that it is propaeated by
contagion from victim to victim: others main
tain that the germs Of 1t are carried in the at
mosphere.
There arc several mysteries about 1t. and
the scientific men Of Europe and America are
trying to pierce them.

The tendency Of modern civilization from
dogmatio religious beliefs to an interest.
chiefly sentimental or artistic or scientific. in
religion in general. has remarkable nlustra-
ton In Sir EDWIN ARNoLp's serious project to
acquire from the Brahmins tho ancient temple
Of BUDDHA at Gaya and restore it to the Bud
dhists. A few years ago such suggestion
would have seemed crazy and impious, but
to-day probably only few missionaries In
Siam and India will detect in It any SAVIOR OF
implety. Most people nowadays will admit
that Buddhism has served and serves come
useful purpose. and If they smile at the poets

be moved by his benevolent intention end his

THE only way to work out reform in
the manner of conducting our elections
is through and by a registry law like they
have now in operation in tire city of Viii
mington, and couple with it the Austria
lian ballot The Democratic papers Of
Delaware recognize this necessity, and
only two weeks ago the Middletown
Transcript in commenting on the Five
Commissioner bill SAID
"The plan proposed in the bill for the
collection of taxes may be a good one
taxes by a number of collectors, but
better one would be, we believe, to have
all taxes collected by a receiver of taxes,
and instead of laying so much stress upon
the honest issuance of tax receipts, enact
a good registration law This will be a
necessity when we have a secret ballot
system, so it would be as well to take
time by the forelock and enact such
law at this time. There is no doubt
but that a chance i'll our system is
demanded by the people so let that
change be made in such way that bust
ness principles will be carried into every
department Of county government"
A registry law will prevent fraudulent
voting by reLeaters, and the jealous
party managers will ferret out any fraud |
in the registry long before election day.
Such law will tend towards an honest
election.
