been Obtained without the suspension OF pubhr

President Carnot's funeral today promises TO
prove the grandcst pageant of the kind ever Wit
messed In Paris, and all that Is possible has
been done 10 show that the illusrious dead Is
mourned not by a mere political party, nor yet
by single caste OF saclety but by the entire
French people. The nation has always been
particularly prone to generous impulse and
easily swayed by the emotions OF its warm and
chivaIroIs heart. II is therefore only natural
that the whole country should be stirred to its
utmost depths by the tragical character Of the
death of its blameless Chief Magistrate while
engaged in the performance Of his official duties.
