than their husbands and brothers possess.
Most editors. however. fail to mud a moral in
the most extraordinary story.
The French Government has fulfilled all tho
forms Of It's surrender to tho CarmauN strikers
on condition that they relieve the Cabinet
from embarrassment by returning to work.
The rioters have been pardoned. and the social
revolutionsts have gained fresh courage from
tho humble acknowledgment OF they power.
There Is good dcnl Of truth in Deputy Bau-

All Europe is reading Prince Bismarck's ut
terances of tho past few days with good deal
OF astonishmcnt not unmixed with apprchen-
sion. His almost reckless revelations of state
secrets under the late Emperor William have
made sensation. Tho reported anger Of tho
present Emperor needs no confirmation. Bis
marck's advice in favor OF allowing Russia to
have her way with Turkey creates the most
uneasiness. There ia no denying tho tremcn-

surance. which was refused. that Russia con.
templatod no military IN easures in tho east of
Europe in the immediate future A more
probable reason is that tho great fiebrew
bankers refused to have any relations with the

Some uneasiness has been caused through
out Europe by the news Of tho appearance Of
the black death which has followed on the
heels OF the cholera in Turkestan. In the
town OF Askabad alone 1900 persons in u
population OF ZOO died in the week ending

when the epidemic has been particularly
severe. Medical knowledge OF the strange
malady is very mengre. for decomposition Is
