W have said, perhaps, enough OF Gene
raj Boulanger elsewhere, but we wish to
DOln out here that even since his death no
one has seemed able to state what his poll
tical opinions were. He never, that we can
Iecollect, prOtessed any, except hatred OF
.'Parliamentarism," to which he ascrlbed all
evils in France. He allied himself with
the ultra. Reds. and with the MOnarchlSts,
an d even coquetted with the ClerIcals, his
i'll Ed probably being that If he attained power
and could win a great campaign, he would be
permitted to reign in luxury without beng
required to adhere to any policy whatever.
He was a good soldier and administrator,
but if he had any ray of genius, 1t was for
act ing the great part to which, when crises
came, he never could live up. LII private
life he was a most amiable man, with
bouyoeois tastes for rich cooking, fine
wines, and a snowy establishment.
He received large sums OF money, from
Orleanists principally, and spent them On
his party and himself, probably intending
to repay them, if he succeeded, to the party
with which he broke faith. He had no
nobility in him, as his conduct to the Duo
d. Aumale showed; but he probably was
unconscious Of the baseness OF much OF his
conduct, thinking of himself only as an
actor playing on a stage, and irresponsible
for the role assigned him. Nothing was
quite sine ere in him except his indifference
to death, and the hiStriOnic impulse entered
into that too. He will remain, probably,
in history like Aaron Burr In America, an
interesting because %perplexing and yet ID"
significant figure.

Of selling Unionist pamphlets on the rail-
way bookstalls; and as Leader, his judg-
ment, fairness, and immoyable frmness had
won the confidence of both sides of the
House, and materially facilitated the appli-
cation of the Closure. He was, in truth, a
fine example of the best kind of middle
class statesman, without genius or much
initiative, but with clear insight, endless
industry, and a temper so fine thatit was as
good as a special faculty. Nobody could
manage contentious business so we'll, and
his strong, clear sense makes him a severe
loss even to an able Cabinet. His post will
not be filed up until Lord Salisbury re-
turns, bat it is understood that Sir Michael
Hicks Beach will become first Lord of the
Treasury, and with the assistance, or "a
ther supervision, of Mr.. GOschen, will lead
the House till the dissolution. Till then,
Mr.. Balfour cannot abandon his many du-
ties as Irish Secretary, which will be much
complicated by the death of Mr.. Parnell,
who would have supported the Irish Local
Government Bill.
, 1891-11-04

Sir John Pope HenneSsy, who fought Mr.
Parnell for Kilkenny and won the seat
against Mr.. Scully, died the day after the
Irish leader. He was a Catholic Home
ruler, or even Fenian in opinion, who hap
pened also to be a Tory, and thirty years
ago it seemed as if he would make a Parlia-
mentary success. He spoke we'll. had the
manner of diplomatist, and had considera-
bic knowledge of foreign politics. Extreme
poverty compelled him, however, to accept
Colonial appointments, and in them, though
he did his work we'll, and recti6ed some con-
siderable abuses, he was always in hot
water. Colonists, bad aud good, hated him
with a vehemence which was almost comic.
He was at last recalled from the Mauritius,
and though he re-entered Parliament, he
found himself powerless there, and subsidized
into club-life, dying at ffty-Dine OF a failure
IF the heart. He was a brilliant man in a
and in private life unusually persua-
sive !; but he belonged, essentially to the
great group Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"

Death has been harvesting this week. Mr..
w. 81. Smith, the First Lord of the Treasu-
~ aud Leader of the House of Commons,
died at Walmer Castle on Tuesday, the 9th
inst, at the age of sixty-six. he had been
more orless i'll for many months, chiefly with
govt; but though he thought seriously of
his own condition, his friends had no fear
for his life. Oflate, however, he had shown
signs of some latent heart-disease, increas-
ed by his unremitting attention to his labO-
lions work in the House of Commons, and
on Friday week his illness took a serious
form. BE fingered for four days in much
main, but expired on Tuesday in compare

A Gigantic Monument TO Their
Memory, Even Higher Than
That to Washington.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June d
On Memorial Day Charles Ogden,
lawyer of much prominence, de
livered the principal address. He
advocated with much earnestness
the building of gigantic monu-
ment, which shoul1 overtop the
Washington monument, and to be
erected in memory Of the valor and
patriotism of Federals and Confcd-
crates alike The G.. A. X. Post
took up the matter and extended an
invitation to all posts of the G.. A.
r. and camps of Confederate Vctc-
rams to cooperate in the movement.
Many Veterans of Texas have been
heard from, and the invitation will
be extended outside the State. 1t
is expected to assume IA national
characser in "a short time.
