The only change in the political tone

The result OF the French elections
shows that the republic has at last
passed the experimental stage. When
political parties and factions antagOnls-

The remarkable quiet in the French
elections is sOod sign of the stability
of the republic, and it goes far TO
strengthen the government of CarnOt as
we'll as to enable him and his party to
elect the president in December next
year.-Philadelphla Bulletin.
The French people again declared at
the polls in an emphatic manner iii
favor Of the republic. The result indi-
Gates that the political excitement i'll

leaders and the press. and did not eX-
tend to the people.-W Washington Star.
The general elections in France DEM
onstrated effectively the fact that the
republic is as firmly established as any
form of government ever has been i'll
that country. The conservatives of all
shades hardly secured respectable
entation-CleveIand Plain Dealer.
The failure of Clemenceau to secure
his reelection proves that that leaders,
connection with the Panama scandal
and his anti-goyernment position have
weakened him in the public estimation.
This, too. is hopeful sign of a revival
of confidence iii the government
Washington News.
A great many reballots will be nee
esSary, but the results are not likely to
iniure the government. they may
strengthenit, for many of the districts
in which there was no election were
represented in the last chamber by men
IN one or another of the opposition
groups. = Pittsburg Chronicle Iele-

No great issue divided the voters. No
attack was made on the republic. The
conservative and mOnarchIcal commit
tees had no money. Conservatives in
nearly all districts ran no candidates.
Even the Panama scandal, which was
expected to shake the republic 10 its
foundations, has made no figure in the
cauvass.-Philadelph Press.
The specters of the empire and the
restoration have vanished. Yesterdays
elections in France were significant as
being the first held since the birth of
the republic i'll 1871 when no one has
been found to express hope or fear
of monarchy as result. No matter
who might lose in this election. 1t has
not at any time teen possible for tho
reactionaries to win.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
The result is gratifying as an evi--
dence of the strength of the republican
principle, which has increased despite
the severe strains to which it has re-
Gently been subjected. The republic is
safe. That is the most valuable lesson
of the election. Carnol'S administration
is decidedly sustained by the success of
all the cabinet ministers without any
serious opposition. YORK Evening
