CARNAT's SCHEME.
Copyright 1898 by the United Press).
Paris, Nov. 29-The continuance of the
cabinet crisis is believed to be the result
of President Carnot's personal effort.
The suspicion grows hourly that he is
trying to prevent the creation of a strong
moderate republican ministry, in order
that he may pose as an indispensable ex-
ecutive and thus secure another term of
the presidency. Each one of his
possible competitors at next
years election, Casimir-Perier, president
of the chamber of deputies, or Senator
Constans could have formed n ministry
this week, had President Carnot per
mitted. Casimir-Perier especially was
sure of ready support from a permanent
working majority His rival, while not
having equally good support, is recog-
nized still as the "strong man Constants
and his statesmanlike ability as premier
would have assured to the president
capable cabinet.
NJ. Dupuy, the last premier, also was
able to secure a ministry, but he was
offended by President Carnot's willing
ness to deal Unfortunately with men of
every faction.
WHY SPULLER WAS TAKEN UP.
In falling back tonight upon NJ. Spuller,
the president obviously intends to couN ey
to the public the idea that none of them
is indispensable. NJ. Spuller has long
been out of competition for the foremost
ministerial places. President CarnOt re-
suscitates him as man of good charac-
ter, who has never departed from the
traditions of his teacher, Gambetta. IL
would be impossible however, to group
round such man cabinet with much
promise of long life. Both eE-Minister
Raynal and ex-Minister Burdeau, who
are helping NJ. Spuller get together a cab
met are better men for the cabinet than
he.
The newspapers, almost without party
distinction, express regret that the situa-
tiOn is so unsatisfactory. In Justice, Nj.
Clemenceau, hitherto the parliamentary
loader of the radicals, gives this opinion.
The country views with astounded eyes
the situation. France waits upon divine
guidance to give her q government. No
body knows who will be master to-mor-
row. Some audacious spirits declare for
Carnot, others for Casimir, Perier, others,
mostly FOOLS for the republic.
PITIABLE COLLECTION.
The Figaro says ut is pitiable as
pect of photographs which have been
called to govern us, Casimir Perier, Me
line, Chalemel LaCour, Berdoux, Merlin,
etc. We have requests, responses, OBJ
jections, refusals, denials, and all come to
one end, that nobody will enter the coun-
ellis of the Elysee. French statesmen dis
dain combina tions which are shifting ev-
cry moment"
In the Autorite, De Cassagnac re-
marks The situation is grotesque. Be
fore the world a majority in the chamber
'SOrtez Ia done votre majOrite. "
The Estafette says "Heavens-what a
spectacle we offer to Europe! Has French
democracy fought so long only to afford
proof Of it's imbecility?"
Leaders inlother newspapers might be
quoted indefinitely to illustrate the same
tendency of opinion on all sides.
The opposition groups look on without
knowing exactly how to act. The pro-
gressist left passed the order of the day,
the empty character Of which sufficiently
showed their lack of a practical policy
equal to the present emergency.
The Progressist Left say: ''We repel
all compromise and are resolved to pursue
our present and social reforms in the
name of the democracy We will support
only that government which will inspire
