Tile ERENCH DILEMMA

The theory is advanced that the French Gov
eminent has not voluntarily assumed it's pres
ent extreme position in the Siamese contro-
vcrsy, but has been forced into it by political
pressure at home. This is both plausible and
probable from more than one point of view.
There are several political factions that would
deem it to their advantage to pursue such a
course. They range from extreme conscry-
atism to extreme radicalism. and their ostcn-
sible motives are as widely sundered. In
secret, however they are moved by a common
impulse, a blind and unreasoning enmity 70
the present Government Now that the Gov
eminent is yielding to their treacberous
pressure they appear to support it, They ap-
plaud it in their papers they give it their votes
in the Chamber. But this seeming friendli-
ness is only lure, which they hope will lead
the Government to destruction.
One of these factions is the Oreanist. led bv
no less a parsonage than Prince Henry of Or
leans. This gentleman recently visited Indo
China, and has since written on French in
terests there in the "Politique COloniale., He
has complained bitterly that French inaction
is losing an empire. " Is the Ministry afraid ?n
he demands. I" If the present policy goes on
we shall be able in few years to ask our
rulers, What have you done with French
Indo- China?'" Thus he has arraigned the
Republic for neglecting French interests
abroad No campaign ammunition" could be
more effective on the eve of the general cleo
ion. 1t must be answered in some way. And
the only ready way was to show by actions
hat the Republic was not the cowardly and
merit thing its royalist foe declared it,

bows from the New-York tenements, and with
rooms for g,mnastic exercises and Sunday SER
vices The equipment of the two buildings is
not only unique, but handsome Across the
road from the inn is a large barn which has
been fitted up asa playhouse for rainy days
The buildings arc supplied with water from
wells and springs, and close at hand between
the two dOrmitories is lovely stream, one OF
the inlets of Stockbrdge Bowl, deep enough
for safe wading. The stream is now spanned
by an old bridge, which is to be replaced by a
rustic structure. With a swimming beach a
mile away, quaint village lanes, clumps OF
noble trees, and the loveliest Of Berkshire
yistas on every side, st. IIelens Home is al
ready paradise for the little visitors from
New-York but the kind hearted lawyer who
has wrought all these changes as a memorial
to a beloved daughter is not wholly satisfied
with his work. lie is bent upon improving the
grounds in all directions, Transforming pasture
lands into lawns opening attractive walks
through the woodlands, and setting a pictu-
rescue fountain at work in deep grotto.
No prettier sight is to be seen in all New
England than st. IIelen's Home in the heart
of village that is no longer deserted, but
swarmng with boys and girls from the streets
of Ncw-York. Visitors from Stoclibridge and
Lenox and other fashionable resorts have made
it the objective point of their favorte after
noon drive, and after seeing the happy faces
there and admling all that has been done by
Mr. John +. Parsons for the comfort of the
tenement children, they return to their homes
with consciousness that this is good world
and that it is becoming every year more un-
selfish. An hour at st. lIelens Home will
sweetsn the heart of the most acrid pessimist.
It is a secluded corner of the hills from which
business and trade were gradually shut out;
but it was not so far away that sympathetic
soul could not search it out and convert 1t
into trysting place of happiness and peace
for neglected children of the tenement world
overshadowed by the pathos of their lot.

hatred of England. 1t has long been per-
sstently railing at England as the enemy of
France. and melting French hostility in re-
turn. Egypt has been fruitful field on which
has been grown great crop OF ha'rcu against
"perfde Albion" The Panama scandal was
also used to the same end. Again ana again
the British Government and the British Am

corrupt dealings of Renach ana lierZ' Only
the other day some papaby forged documents
were brought forward TO besmirch the British
official name, and the British AmDasSador was
so violently aspersed that he was COM
PEELED to leave the country. Now the same
factionists are demanding vigorous forward
policy in Siam in order TO check ana battle
and injure England in that region. Ana 10 this
demand the Government is unhapplly con-
strained to accede.
1t is a difficult and a deplorable situation.
The administration of President Cannot has
on the whole been cminently pure, wise and
stafesmanlike. The head of no European State

Republic to be other than land OF factions ;
and so, having no great majority party at Its
back, the Government must look for support
to combinations of smaller bodies. lnevita-
bly,. therefore it becomes in measure the
slave of their will. And thus, on the eve OF a
most important election, the Government Is
forced, by its more or less open foes, into
line of cond uct which it doubtless regards with
disfavor. The only alternative would be to
resist the Jingccs' demands for colonial cx-
tension" and opposition to England. That
would mean Ministerial crisis. and popular
outcry, unreasonable Yet none the less harm
full. against the Republic itself. And that
might mean a Monarch,t or a Socialist vic
tory next month. The Government apparent
ly deems it wise to yield. or to seem to yield, to
factional camor. 1t will be well if thus it is
enabled to win the elections and return to
power with a majority, secure against the
cabals of its foes. 1t would then be able TO
work for higher end than the dcspoing Of
weaker Powers for the sake of glory"

A GOOD TINE For 4 FAIR TEST.


Commissioner Andrews, it is said, intends to
leave the practical operation of the Street
Cleaning Department under the charge of his
deputy for time. while he himself makes a
thorough survey of the colossal task which he
has undertaken. This is sensible course for
him to adopt. for if the new Commissioner is
beginning his work with firm determination
10 become the master OF il in every detail. his
preliminary survey of the organization, equip
ment and methods of the department will well
repay him. We do not wish 10 appear ofliclous,
but we venture 10 say that there is one thing
which Mr.. Andrews can resolve forthwith To
do. and that is to apply the law relating to
street cleaning with scnipulous fidelity.
That law. which the city government per
mitted 10 be passed two Years ago rather to
the surprise of the community. was believed
at the time to be exceedingly valuable. IL
was drawn up after careful investigation
of the whole problem. and every 0nrOf its
provisions was thought 10 he Skilfully adapted
TO the purpose which it was designed 10 ac-
complish. Its enactment was hailed with salts
faction by the considerable number of persons
who were concerned in preparing il, and by
pose that decided step in advance Of old and
discreditcd methods had been finally achieved
II the consequences have been Disappointing
there is nevertheless no proof that this opinion
and expectation were tnO sangune. The law
has not been shown to he defective. The fact
is that it has not been fairly tried. Commits
soncr Brennan always appeared TO feel an
aversion to IT, He delayed putting any part
Of il into execution for a long time. and never
seemed to feel the least interest in its prac-
teal operation The result is that its value
still remains to be demonstrated, while many
persons have suimiSed that our rulers want to
produce the impression that it is failure and
get it repealed.
We do not know that this is the disposition
OF the Mayor and his advisers. but certainly
they have contrved to suggest such an by
pothesis In any case, it is the plain duty of
Commissioner Andrews To apply the law as
thoroughly and skilfully as he can. lie is in
tcligcnt enough to know without any invcSii
CATION that the old ways of his department
were shiftlcss eXtrava2ant and absurd from
every point of view, excepting that Of the
conscicnccless boss with public money to dis
bursc. lie knows also or if not the Mayor can
cnlightcn him, that "A great improvement in
cleanliness is demanded. Indeed,
that is supposed to be the meaning of his APP
pointmcnt lie has an immense appropriation
to work with, and he has law which in the
DRY at least introduces order, economy and
efficiency into the affairs Of bis department.
II these benefits arc imaginary let us have the
illusion exposed and the statute from which
so much expected repealed or amended
IL is suprcmcly silly to proong this partial,
hafhcartcd obedience to its provisions; I'M
less indeed the purpose is to make failure of
it., which for the present we prefer not to
believe.

part to play in the industrial fortunes of Massa-

rounded by workmen's cottages. The general
introduction of steam power diverted manu-
featuring interests to other towns in closer re-
latons with business centres. The mills were
closed and the worllmen's houses were tenant
less The village stopped growing and fell be-
hind. The country inn and village store in
the centre of the swarm of unrcpared cottages
shared in the general decline of fortune. Il
was a picture of ruin and desoation framed
with the enchanting loveliness of Berkshire
scenery. 1t caught The eyes of distinguished
