A NET PARTY IN FRANCE.

Among the many remarkable manifestations
Of the strength, popularity, and above all, the
permanent character Of the present Government
in France, there is none more significant than
tho recent development and rapid growth Of a
movement which may be described as Con-
sentative Republicanism. 1t aims at presery-
ing those clements OF political life that the
republic has already gained and which Radi-
calism is showing disposition to uproot. 1t
marks nothing less than the gathering tide of
reaction, not, as in former years, by the
Monarchists against rcpublicanism, but by par
tisans of the latter against radcalism of too
advanced type Its object is NOT to ovcrturn
the present regime, but to maintain it. and to
defend it against those who are striving 10
substitute in it's stead democratic institutions
of more socialistic character.
Several things have contributed to the forma-
ton of this new political party, which seems
destined to play hcnccfoIth an important, and
even predominant, role in the affairs of France,
and the letters from Paris which We publish
o-day, throw considerable light upon the sub
icct They draw attention to the fact that
the regard and esteem which President Carnot
and several Of his Ministers, notably VI. Ribot,
of the Department Of Foreign Affairs, have
succeeded in acquiring among all classes of
the people, have ended by breaking down the
barriers which for many years past sepa-
rated the aristocyacy of the country from the
official world. For the first time during the
present year social intercourse has been cstab-
lshcd between the Right bank OF the Seine and
the Left, and the Faubourg ST. German has
now paid its court TO the Republican Executive
at the Eyscc Death has been busy among
the partisans of the old monarchical regimes,
and the new generation appear to have reached
the conclusion that inasmuch as the rcpub-
lie has come to stay, further opposition thereto
would not only be futile but also injurious to
their own welfare. Accordingly they have
practically abandoned the now defunct mo-
narchical cause, and placed both themselves
and the vast territorial interests which they
