oral was ordered TO retire from Paris
and take command Of the Thirteenth
army corps. He !u!kily oboycd, but
the attractions OF Paris we're too potent
to be resisted, and he soon left his COM
I'mand and revisited the capital in dis
! ruisc. This net OF insubordinntion the
government refused TO overlook, and he
was promptly deposcd from his COM
| mand.
At this point his military career ceases
and politics occupy all his attention.
In vain does the Tirard government try
TO disgrace him; in vain does the gov
ernmcnt press bclittlc him as Hn nd
vcnturor and 4 fraud. lie becomes q
candidate for deputy in two depart
mcnts, and carries Dordognc by Il ma-
jorlty oil nearly 10000 and Nord by Il
majority Of $4,000. In Aisnc and Audc
lIoulangSt nominees were also elected.
Triumphant and Chccrcd by host OF
followers the new deputy attended Il
session OF the Chamber and coolly de-
mnndcd m unrestricted revision Of the
constitution.
The other deputies laughed at him
and rejected his proposal by vote OF
TO !. y week later he entered the
Chnmber again, and with equal GOODNESS
demanded the dissolution OF the Na-
tlonaI Legislature. This proposal the
deputies also rejected by vote OF two
to one. AnEered ut such treatment and
at the jcGrs and snCcrs which had greet
ed his proposals, Boulunger strove to
brow beat his fellow members by telling
thcm that he had i direct mandate from
the people, and that the peoples wishes
ought to be complied with To this i'm
piled threat the Chamber paid no at
tcntion, and the thwarted general was
forced to see that his demonstration
against parliamentarism had proved 4
vcritablG tiasCo.
DEGINNlSG OF TIE END.
Meanwhile the triumphant and idol
lied general determined on new move.
Although a member OF the Chamber
from the department OF the Nord, he
became candidate ior the department
OF the Seine as soon rs vacancy offered
him an opportunity OF showing his
strength in Paris.
| y memorable contest WAS the result
On the day OF election Paris was
thrOnged, and the returns from the
polls were awaited with unparalleled
interest. 1t the close the result was
that the general obtained 4 plurality
oi $1,000 over VI. jacques, the govern
ment candidate. In order to gain this
result the general had thought it cxpe-
dent to promise that he would not
| only turn ont the ministry and dissolve
the legislature but that he would also
summon Q constituent assembly 10 re-
wise the constitution.
The Government was not asleep all
this time. 1t saw clearly that Boulanger
was standing menace to existing insti-
tutlons and the peace OF the country,
and it determined to silence him. Its
first act was TO suppress the Patriotic
League, OF which he was prominent
member, and its next was TO charge him
with approprating S90,090 OF public
money Tor thepurposc 0! his own prOpa-
ganda. No longer was there any vacil-
lation or timidity. The Government,
and not The clustering General, was now
the aggrcssor. All Paris was electrified,
and the question on cveryonc's lips was !:
What will ie brnT General do?"
The government would not rctract
the charge and Boulanger had either to
lace the music or shake the dust OF
his native land from his feet. Bclicv-
ing IN the cid adagc that discretion is
the better part OF valor he chose the
latter Observation-Disclosures 10 the mn
| bounded delight OF his opponents. lJc
went first to Belgium. then to London
and finally TO Jersey, In London
where he STAYED for some weeks, he
was considerably !ioni;cd. The mobility
invited him to their homes and the
members of the Coaching Club and
other clubs greeted him Lospitablv
London, however. is not Paris. and he
soon wcaried OF it and. following the
example OF Victor Hugo, sought shelter
in jersey Then the government cut
him from the army list and decrecd
his exile.
