The severe treatment or Charies De
Lesseps and his feliow-prisoners mas
aroused indignation only among ihe
friends and others who have feiloW
feeling for the accused. Among the multi
tude n has its effect in making the Gov
eminent popular. The extreme Socialists
who form such a large proportion OF the
nonulation Of Paris, hailed with pleasure
mis- humiliation to the level or the low
and degraded criminals Of such represen-
tatives OF the burgeois as Charles De LIS
CONS and Fontaine. and the fact that the
Government has not deigned any answer
10 those who criticize its refusal 10 re-
cogniZe distinctions between criminals
has tended more than ever to gratify 'he
lower classes, who have In the past been
preiudiced against the Republic. Besides,
the Socialists and other extremists do net
like the activity of the supporters or tne
old regimes, imperial and monarchial. III
a revolution is 10 come they do not want
a reactionary revolution, and between the
Monarchists and Imperialists on the one
side and the Republic on the other. the
lower classes are for the latter. This SEN
timent is making itself felt among the
deputies and it is believed that when the
Chamber reassembles after Christmas
the ministry will have energetic support
from some of the extremists who have
hitherto been either lukewarm or hostile.
II is suggested, on usually well Informed
authority, thai the ministry will have
some revelations to make In regard 10 the
course Of the enemies Of the Republic
that will divert attention in some degree
from the Panama scandal. The revala-
tions from America concerning the char
acter of NJ. Herr who was connected with
Baron Reinach. do not cause surprise.
The only surprise is that a man as
shrewd as Reinach and as noted for quick
will in judging Of men, should have had
any transactions with such peculiar
character as Herr. The impression is
that Herr got hold Of some Of the Panama
secrets and used them TO the best possible
advantage.
