FRENCH ANOMALIES.

The downfall of the Rbot Ministry illus
trates the anomalous character of political in
situations in France. The Government has
been defeated on legislative questions at issue
between the two Chambers. Tho Deputies had
sent to the Senate the annual budget of ap-
preparations, with riders relating to reforms of
the LIQUOR laws and taxation of bourse transac-
tions. The Senate returned the budget without
the riders. In Washington the procedure under
these conditions would have been simple. A
conference committee would have been ap-
pointed and an agreement have been reached
through some compromise more or less elastic.
In Paris Ministry is overthrown because the
Senate has taken the ground that the liquor
laws must be reformed by separate legislation
rather than by rider mounted upon appro-
priation bills. The Deputies rejected the Sen
atos amendments as an infringement of their
own constitutional prerOgative to originate
financial legislation. The Senate objected to
the irregular procedure of the lower Chamber
in Incorporating in the budget projects which
are ordinarily embodied in separate acts. The
technicalites at issue concerned the Chambers
rather than the Ministry; yet NJ. Ribot has
resigned. and President Carnot is now casting
about with drag net to find another Premier.
Under the French Constitution the Chambers
nolninally exercise coordinate legislative
powers, and the Ministry Of the day Is equally
responsible to each. In this instance the Gov
eminent was in sympathy With the Senate. yet
was overthrown BY the Deputies. The ex-

PLANTATION of this anomaly is easily made. The
Senate, while armed by the Constitution with
coordinate functions has never exercised them
Practically the supremacy of the Deputies is
undisputed. An adverse vote in the Senate Is
lightly regarded by Ministers; majority OF
five against them in the lower Chamber expcls
them from Office. 1t is not the text Of the
Constitution but the unwritten law OF prece-
dent that sanctions the ascendancy OF one
branch of the National Legislature The
Deputies have a large majority in the National
Assembly when q President is elected. They
have the Ministry at their mercy at all times
The omnpotence of the lower Chamber accords
with the traditions of the First Republic and
with tho genius of the French mind. IL may
not be formally recognized in the Constit,l-
ton the existence of the Senate with powers
which arc nomnally coordinate may be in
consistent with it but it is the one dominant
fact of the French political system, and 1t
serves to explain all anomalies.
The RibOt Ministry was nvulnerable so long
as it challenged votes of confidence on its
course in relation to the Panama scandal and
| to the defence of the Republic against rcvolu-
,onary intrigue BY his courageous, aggressive
administration the Premier contrived to mako
| it imprarticable for the Deputies TO turn him
ont OF office in any of the numerous crises
which have occurred since December. But
forced into corner as he was at every turn,
and compelled to fight with desperation in order
TO hold his ground, he made more enemies
than friends and in the end was oyerthrown
by an incongruous coalition on side issue
for which he was not responsible. The vote
against the Government does not represent sim
cere and resolute zeal on behalf of reform Of
the liquor laws. or of repression of bonrse
speculation by taxation. 1t simply measures
the resentments and anmosities excited by a
Ministry which in sclfdefence was compelled
to abandon corrupt leaders and sordid groups
of speculative politicians to their fate. Tho
Ministry has been overthrow in the dark be-
cause its enemies have not been willing to have
their secret motives brought to light. Pos
sibly the cards can be reshunled and the Gov
eminent recognized under NJ. Dcvelc, rs was
done in January but it is more probable that
in view of the approaching elections President
Carnot will look outside the late Ministry and
| call upon NJ. Constans or VI. Cavaignac to form
| the new Cabinet,

4 LOGICAL PERFORMANCE.

It was only natural that the Democrats OF
tho Senate at Albany should do as they did
Oh Thursday with the bill which provides for
an equal division Of election inspectors. This
meas,O'c gives two inspectors to the Repub-
licans and two to the Democrats ut each poll
ing-place in the country, and amends the ex-
listing law so as to give the Republicans of this
city an additional inspector in each district,
thus placing them on the same footing with
their Democratic brethren. Now, here is n
piece of legislation which is obviously in the
interest OF fair elections. There s4no partisan
politics in it. Let it become law and the
ballot-box would be provided with an addi-
tional and, so far as some districts arc con-
cerned. much needed safeguard
Nevertheless the members Of the Demo-
cratic majority arrayed themselves solidly
against this public spirited measure on Thurs
day They demonstrated that it is their in
tention either to kill it in committee or on the
floor Of the Senate, in case it is reported. Such
an attitude on such bill is susceptible of only
one explanation. This Democratic majority is
hostile to it because it looks to fair play at
the polls because it would practically prevent
the repetition of such fragrant Outrages as those
which were lately perpetrated at Lansingburg
because it would interfere with the rascally
schemes Of INSCRIPTIONS Democratic bosses
represented by Democratic repeaters and other
scoundrels temporarily serving as Democratic
inspectors. The bill cannot be opposed on
grounds which commend themselves to honest
men. 1t can only be opposed upon the grounds
which have been mentioned. Nevertheless, the
opposition, although disgraceful, is logical. II
is becoming that the men who organized the
Senate last winter by fraud, who seated three
persons. all of whom had been defeated BY the
electors Of their respective districts. should be
banded together TO checkmate any measure cal
culated TO discourage the enemies of fair and
square elections. Under the leadership OF
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan they said by
their action on the bill "Hands of the re.
peater; no interference with jobs which may
be put up with corrupt inspectors: let not the
door be shut against dishonest coMit or bogus
votes; in organizing the Senate Of 1928 we
showed our contempt fer I've viii of the people

TRIO coMMEYDABLE EEQUIREMENTS.


Tho conditions under which architects are
:rv;,o1 m submit designs for the new municipal
building have been agreed upon ny the co.h'
mission. They do not suggest any reason ior
acouicscing cheerfully in the project wnic"
Tanmany is determined to execute Inc
structure for which competitive plans VIII soon
bocin IN be drawn is TO cover large part OF
the space now unoccupicd in the City Hall
Park. and must therefore, when completed
however admirable in itself, lack the means
of proclaiming its excellence which clear
space around it would afford. This Is an
original blnnder for which no sufficient excuse
has been offered. The only apology when we
have heard is the desire OF the municipal a'-
thorities 10 preserve the County Court House
intact, and this is in no degree Qualification
We have never understood why the Iammah!
magnates should want to keep in evidence tna'
monstrous relic and demonstration OF rascal
ity IL they suppose that it is held III reVer-
ence and affection by the people they are GER
toinlv mistaken. 1t preserves no pleasant asso-
ciations and serves no indispensable purpose.
II has no beauty and little utility. But III
order that il may be kert the City Hall Is 10
be taken away.
But though there is nothing in the ground
plans for the new building to reconcile those
who have opposed The official conception OF
what the cty's interests require. two OF the
conditions imposed are worthy OF strong com
mendation. 1t is provided that the structure
shall be- for the most part, only five stores
high. This moderation was unexpected, ana
is therefore particularly gratifying. 1t Is also
specified that the building must be fireprooi
throughout. This requirement is OF the utmost
importance. and should be exactly fulfilled
It is entirely possible to put mp buildings when
cannot be burned down, except under circ'im-
stances which it Is scarcely possible to imagine
But there are very few such buildings in ex-
istence. A vast majority OF all the structures
which are called tircproof are so in name only
and large proportion OF them are not even
worthy of the designation OF slow-buIning''
This new municipal cdtce is sure to be ex-
cecdingly Costly, and in some respects II Is
condemned in advance by the conditions which
our rulers have imposed. II ought at least to
be incapable OF destruction by fire.

State Prison was exposed by the escape OF
Latimer, and the jury which conducted the IN
ouest on the murdered keeper has properly
passed severe censure upon the prison officials.
"Cross negligence and carelessness" is mild
description of management that made possible

As for Latimer himself. however, no punish

ceiving can be melted out That is the worst
feature of this extraordinary incident.
Secretary Carlisle seems to be unnecessarily
disturbed over the disproportonate quotas OF
employees in the Treasury Department, consid-
