lt appears that the French are learn
ing some more Of the truth about the
Panama scandal, and are getting very
much excited. There is a crisis ON the
tapis in Paris, and what the outcome
may be no one even ventures to guess.
The revelations Of the last of last
week very clearly indicate that the
present government was implicated.
even that the president Of the republic
took great interest in suppressing the
investigation and pressed the great
wrecker OF governments, Clemenceau,
to use his influence to stop the talk.
1t is impossible to guess what the ont
come will be. The French character
cannot be predicated. Were we to iudoe
IL by Its history, it would be apparent
that revolution was mt hand. But II
is evident that it has changed wonder.
fully, and has added to its capacity to
endure national disgrace.
1t appears that the obvious course for
the president of the French republic is
to place that Office at the disposal of the
people, and let them decide how far If |
is proper and polite for them to ignore
the revelations that have been made ON
the witness stand. Such course would
attest his faith in the people, and would
doubtless strengthen his own cause with
hem.
But France being what France has
become since the German conquest it is
lot possible to conceive what action
VIII be taken, either by the discredited
government or by the people.

That is scarcely an appeal that will
be needed by the voters of Rhode

there would be plenty of intelligent
men to inquire what Messrs. Page and
Lapham have as yet done in congress-
to warrant the hope that they would be

HELPED M'KINLEY.

The generous American people who
have come TO appreciate the great work
done by Mr.. Mckinley have declared
their appreciation by insisting upon re-
lieving him OF the financial trouble he
has been involved in through his mis-
placed confidence in a supposed friend.
IL is today announced that the
debts that have been thus unjustly
loaded upon the too willing shoulders
OF the great tariff apostle have been
hquidated by a popular subscription.
IL Is fair to remember that Mr.. McKin-
ley strongly opposed the movement, and
in every way possible sought TO have
1t abandoned. His protests were disre-
garded and the only course open 10 him
was as graceful submission as possi-
ble.
There never was case where exact
justice worked more speedily than this
The man who has been relieved of the
fearful incubus that his generous trust
IN human nature imposed upon him has
benefited the American people many
thousand times the amount of the
benefit now conferred upon him by a
very small section of the American peo-
pie, and if there was man in the coun-
try who deserves to have his pathway
'moothed by spontaneous effort by the
whole people his name is William Nc

iignity or self-respect by this action of
