Fresh Blood From the Country.

New York Evening Post.
The city of Paris with it's envir-
ons boasts nearly one-twelfth of
the total population of France, yet
it does not escape the charge, which
lies against so many other great
cities, of being huge nav into
which the best of the national life
is sucked. Only in the slightest
degree is it the parent of the ener-
gy and distinction which it dis
plays on so great a scale. In the
political field. scarcely one of the
distinguished men of the time is
Paris-born. The president of the is
not,nor is the president of thenation
Senate or of the Chamber; not one
of the ten Cabinet Ministers, neith-
er of the Chief Justices nor of the
attorney generals of the higher
courts reckons Paris us his birth
place, nor does the governor of the
Bank of France. Somewhat SINH
lar results are obtained by scan-
ming the lists of distinguished
scholars, artists, journalists, sol
diers. From the provinces have
come disproportionate majority
of the men whose success in life
makes Paris famous. Such facts are
more striking in the case of the
French capital, whose excess
over the rest of the country has
been so long established, than they
would be in a newer country, where
the headlong rush to the cities is a
comparatively new thing.

and stuck it in the bars Of the club railing.
Il will now show you" he said. how a

race"
Then he walked out into the middle Of the
roadway. stood on his head. and showed him
self along the asphalt in an extraordinary sort
OF locomotion. This was the most unique and
extravagant expression Of JOY around the club
house over the victory Of the American yacht.
The yachtsmen stared in ,amazement at the
colored man. Steward Niels Olsen finally in
dhced him to get right side up again and walk
away.
There were lots Of yachtsmen at the club
house. Of course. and they were happy over
the Niglants victory. but there was no par

Gives Up the Presidency OF the Irish Ma.
tiOnal League Of America.
CHICAGO Oct. 13.-M. v. Cannon. formerly OF
Omaha. but now permanently located in Chi
cago. has resigned tho Presidency OF the Irish
National League OF America Although the
notice OF his withdrawal as executive was
formally presented to the Executive Commit
tee OF the League two weeks ago 1t was not
made public until to-day. 1t is authoritative
ly stated that the acceptance OF the resignn-
ton at this critical period in the fortunes Of
the Liberal party across the ocean would be
to give q sem blance OF truth to the rumor that
the League had outlived its usefulness. and
was about to be disbanded. Herein is the
foundation for the statement that Mr. Gan
mons resignation was deliberately suppressed.
1t is also matter OF discussion that the real
reason for Gannons withdrawal from the
League was his EXPRESSED disgust with the
anti-tiladstone and other malcontents in the
League. Mr. Cannon said to-day:
law existing in the very foundation Of the
League. how could there be anv incentive or
motive for the collection here Of money to DO
distributed to either one side or the other. be-
cause Of this lack OF deflniteness Enthusi-
assn could not be aroused. 1t became palpa-
and anti-Iarnellites could not be brought to-
gether. They stood together and voted for
Glhdstonc's measure in the House OF Com
the same camp There was the secret Of the
inanition.
1T is very evident that something must be
otherwise it will go out OF existence. | think
that perhaps in midwinter an attempt will be
made by those in power to call q convention
and to endeayor to reorganiZe and rehabilitate
the league. l will take no further active part
in the management or details of the league"
