Ia REIIE FRANCE.

France is easily the most melodra
xatic figure among the nations. There
Is always something going on over there
which would be comedy but for tragic
accessories, and which would be tragedy
but for spectacular striving after effect,
and so the mean between the two is a
pretty constant state of melodramatic
activity. The latest case in point is the
trial of the anarchist. RAVACHOL, for
the murder of innumerable people. The
tragedy is obvious; the comedy is fur
niShed by the grotesque terror which
police and court functiOnqrieS exhibit
In their handling of the case, and the
spectacular effects necessary to make
a melodramatic tout ensemble (aS
JACQUES BoNHoMME himself would
call it, are provided by the extreme
elabOFateneSs with which the trial was
instituted and conducted, notwithstand-
ing the open and braggart confession
OF guilt on the part of the accused.
1t would seem that when man
confesseS himself q murderer with such
great particularly and indubItable
truth as does RAvACHoL, the court
might cut it short by cOnsigning him to
the appropriate mInistrationS of the
headsman, and his soul to the mereies
of the Almighty. Such a short shrift
does not accord, however, with the
French hankering for what they call
eclat, and so with quaking limbs and
bIanched faces the court and jury are
constrained to formally examine the ad-
mitted facts and the undisputed evil
dence. The jury is drawn by lot, and
the names of its members kept secret
in order to prutect them from possible
vengeance, and to give an added theat-
rical touch to the occasion; and so this
notable trial proceeds. kAvACHoL is
put in the witness stand, and rattles off
his confession: 81 found the man in
bed. covered his mouth and nose with
my hands. Finding that he did not die
quickly enough, crammed my handker-
chief into his throat and then got On top
of him, and, putting my knee on his
throat, squeezed until" and so on to
the end of the revolving chapter. And
the France which makes such a tie dious
and pOmpous process of chOpping off
the head of this demon is the same
France which in former times has
chopped off heads gaiOr at a moments
notice and OH the mereSt suspicion of

CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

New Orleans States: There have been
few instances in our political history
like it, The people demanded wash
ington. the Democracy demanded Jeffer-
son, Madison and jackson, anu now
they demanded Cleveland. We hold the
nomination of Cleveland under such
conditions as an omen of good, as q
prophecy of the fall Of the party OF
force bills, public robbery under the
forms of law and OF plutOcracy. and the
second birth OF sound JetferSonian
Democracy.
New Orleans Picayune: The peo-
pie of the various states of this great
republic having demanded and consum-
mated the nomination of Cleveland to
be their Democratic standard bearer,
now they must secure his election or
else confess that the Democratic party
OF the United States is unable 10 elect
the most popular man the party can
show or claim. Mr.. SteveHSOn's name
gives strength to the ticket, which is to
believed to be the strongest the Demo
Gratis could make"
MIR. Cleveland was
given the nomination because the peo-
pie, not the politicians willed it. And
that also is why he will he elected pres
ident. because, though he may not have
the politicians, he will have the people
on his side. The prospects were never
brighter for Democratic success, and
with a candidate of Clevefand's p0pu-
Iarity, victory may be looked upon as as
sured.
New York Sun: There is one question
depending OH the election of the next
president which in its momentOus inn
portance and vital imperativeness must
seem to every philosophic observer to
exceed every other political question
that the people are now called upon to
determine. We mean the question
whether those Southern states which
have inherited negro population sur
passing the number of their white
citizens shall, by federal law and federal
military forces, be subject to the domi-
nation of the negroes. Better vote for
liberty and the white government of the
Southern states, even if the candidate
were the devil himself. rather than coll
sent to the election of respectable Ben
jamin Harrison with force bill in his
pocket.
The Atlanta Constitution, after de-
failing editorially the influences which
secured Cleveland's nomination, cou-
cludes; Now all these things mean
something. They belong to that series
of events which give hope and courage
to the Democrats. There is nothing
artificial or inSincere about the Cleve-
land movement IL has grown and de-
veioped in the face of the most tremen-
dous odds and without any help from
Mr.. Cleveland himself. So far as the
South is concerned there is no reason
why Mr.. Cleveland should not rcceiv e
the hearty support of every Democrat.

DEPEW FOR PREMIER.

The suggestion of Mr.. DEPEw for sec
retary of state recalls to the mind of the
student of American political history
the fact that five citizens OF New York
have already held that position. MAR
TIN VAN BUREN was the first, serving
two years under ANDREW JACKSON.
WILLIAM L. MARCY served under Pres
ident PIERCE; Mr.. SEWARD under Pres
ident LINCOLN; Mr.. FISH under Presi-
dent GRANT, and Mr.. EvARTs under
President HAYES.
This is go0diy array Of names. and
Mr.. DEPEw's would add to the luster of
the list. There are some sturdier in
telleets among them than CHAUNCEY'S,
but none more brilliant or snowy. The
steady glow of SEWARD rugged genius,
for instance, will doubtless hold Its light
longer in history, but CHAUNcEY's
lamp flashes more brightly just now
particularly since that little affair over
in Minneapolis.
1t is, of course, Droblematic Just how
far Mr.. DEPEw's experience in putting
down strikes ON the New York Central
would help him toward calling down
bumptious bantam-weights like Chill
and Italy, who might presume to knock
the chip off Brigadier BENNY's shoul-
der; but that part of it must be ac-
cepted on faith, aided by the firm con-
viction that. while Mr.. DEPEw might
not prove conyincingly terrifying in his
logic, he would be more than match
for any diplomatic wiles in the way of
geniality and efflo:esceDce. By all
means let CEAUNCEY have it if he
wants it. Then next March he and Mr..
EvARTs and Mr.. FISH can establish a
little club of ex-secretaries of state from
New York, and have all manner of good
times swapping mendacious reminis-
eences of how they bowled out the dip
lOmats of Patagonia and Yucatan.

BISMARCK'S TRIUMPH.
The Bavarians Give him a Royal
Welcome.

MUNICH, June 24.-Prince Bismarck
arrived early this morning. He had a
magnificent popular reception. Thou
sands of people were assembled at the
railway station. and the students were
as conspicuous as at Vienna. The prince
was heartily cheered. He looked
bright and well pleased, and gave the
impression that he was still far from
being the decrepIt old man that some
had described him. He recognized the
welcome of the multitude with evident
cordiality. No attempt was made by
the police, as at Vienna, to interfere
with the popular demonstration.
LONDON, June 24.-The Times dis
patch says Prince Bismarck's reception
at Vienna was equal to any ever accord
ed sovereign. Bismarck will return
home with enhanced prestige. The as
sumption that he had lost his influence
with the German people is disproyed.
His inspired statements, which were be-
ginning to be regarded as the grum-
blings of an ill-humored statesman will
now bear different plexion.

SAVED THE LIFE OF THE CzAR

The Former Serf Afterward Treat.
ed as the Savior Of His Country.
The news of the death of Col. Ossil
hKommifssarof-K f-Kostromskoy
who saved the life of Alexander IL
April 1G, 1866, has revived memories OF
a deplorabie incident and a most re-
markable career. says a st. Petersburg
letter. On the memorable day
young man, formerly serf, who
was employed at the time as
mechanic in one CT the shops OF
streets of the capital, when he came tG
the entrance of one of the public gar
dens. An imperial coach there awaited
the ear. The workman, desirous of
seeing his majesty. mingled with the
crowd which stood about the c9rriage.
A few minutes later Alexander III ade
his appearance, ready to take
his place. AS he did so &
large, heavily-built man forced his
way through the crowd, pushing
people to the rfght and left. KOmmis'
sarOf-for such was the wOrkman's
name-became suspicious Of the actions
of the man and kept close to him as he
approached the emperor's carriage. Ii
w
was within few feet of his majesty he
threw off great coat which covered his
shoulders and quickly drew large re.
voiver from his pocket. Raising his
arm he was about to fire at his majesty
when a heavy blow feIled him to the
ground. The would-be murderer was
arrested.
On the following day Kommissaroff
was presented to the emperor, who en-
braced him as he might have done his
own brother. Il ennobie you," was his
majesty's thankful declaration.
But he did more. He heaped upon
him presents of money and estates, and
made him an officer in one or the crack
regiments. The people of the empire
treated the former serf as savior
of his country. He became the
lion of the capital. He advanced rap
idly in his regiment. and few years
ago was able to retire from the service
with the rank of colonel. Since then he
has lived with his wife and children on
one of his numerous estates the life OF a
nobIeman. 1t was on his estate that he
died. Few men are fortunate enough
to save the life of an emperor, and the
news OF kommiSSarOf's death has
caused long articles eulogisric of the
man to appear in the public prints.
