CASlMlR-PERiER.

Casimir- Perier, as the people of this coun-
try understand French politics, was the
best man to succeed Carnot.-Memphis APP
peal-Avalanche. *=.
The election is a supremely excellent
choice. It vindicates the cool judgment of
the republic. It demonstrates the calm
wisdom of democracy Philadelphia Press.
Taking all things into consideration, it
seems providential that France has been
relieved from the months of excitement
that must have occurred had the election
taken place on the 2d of November.--New
York Herald. -.
France is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing chosen so excellent man as Casimir-
Perier to succeed her assassinated chief
magistrate and upon the peace and digni-
fed solemnity which attended his election.
Chicago Times.
The election of this statesman as president
of the French republic is distinctly choice
of man whose record is that of an enemy
of disorder, a foe of communism, a hater of
anarchy, an enforcer of peace and preserv-
er of civilization.-Brooklyn Eagle.
It would have been a blow to the pros
perity of France and would have weakened
her position in Europe if by any combina-
ton among themselves the more radical
groups had been able to elect man of their
choice to the presidency.-Boston Journal
The election of M. Perier gives France a
strong government, which, though it must
naturally develop its own dangers and
drawbacks in course of time, ought to be
entirely sufficient to deal wisely and firmly
with the present situation.-Philadelph
Times.
The selection of Casimir- Perier to sue
coed to the presidency of France is natural
and logical. He is q man of wide expert
ence in public life, has been premier and
is now president of the chamber of dep
uties. His broad knowledge of foreign and
domestic affairs will stand him in good
stead.-Kansas City Star.
There have been too many men on horse
back in France, and what the much dis
tracted country needs at the present time
is an undramatic and unsensational presi-
dent, determined to maintain order and put
down anarchy wherever it rears itself. To
all appearances, Casimir-Perier is admira.
bly, adapted to the task in hand.-Provi
dence journal.

Then what must we say of the brav-
cry Of the miserable, starving, unarmed
men, women and children who faced
them without finching? Surely brav-
cry in one human being is as commend
able as in another. The Tribune says
this:
Many of the women were lean and gaunt and
hungry looking and carried poor, palefaced
babies in their arms. 1t was pitiful sight to
Sue these poor, misguided creatures, many of
them suffering from want and hunger through
no fault of their own, striving with the ferocity
of starved panthers to bring about conflict
which might result in their own death and the
death of their babes as we'll. They were terri
bly, in earnest and beyond the reach of reason.
Misguided? Because they have stom-
achs and hearts? What "reason'' were
they ever asked to listen to? Only that

tice Let those same soldiers endure for
one month the hunger and suffering
they constantly bear and see how ''mis-
guided and blind to treason" they
would become. They have borne hard
toll, poor food, miserable homes, no
pleasures, no comforts, the suffering of
their innocent little children for years
without complaining, and yet these big,
fat soldiers are praised because their
living for two days was a little bit be-
low the standard.
How is it possible that writers look
on human affairs with such distorted,
one sided view? Why are the suffering
and injustice dealt out to one set Of
people of so little consequence and a
slight discomfort to another set mat
ter of such great Importance? Why is
the killing of dozen despairing, hag-
gard vorkingmen on strike matter
to be only lightly mentioned, and the
violent death of a single man deed to
plunge world into the most doleful of
mourning? Why are the building FORTS

the drilling and arming of uniformed
men who shoot toward home, matters
of national congratulations and knife
or gun in the hands Of miserable

cannot understand it. It seems to
me the bravery Of those desperate moth
ers in the coal mines is the sublimest
phase Of the whole struggle. If their
courage is the courage of despair, then
God pity the civilization that dooms
women and children to conditions that
render them mad with suffering!
