great excitement. Carnot was the
type of an honest bourgeois, and in
his unmerited and stupid death he will
be profoundly saluted by all his adj
versaries. He did not merit such an end.
He may have committed fanlts against
parliamentary discipline, but he never
committed any against political
honesty. During his presidency he
had to struggle against serious diff
culties, and he always knew how to
act with moral dignity.
The fact that this assassination
has been committed on the anniver-
sary of the battle of Solferino has
been much commented on.
The political situation is very sim
pie. Until the meeting of congress,
which is composed of the senate and
chamber of deputies, the president of
the senate, Challemel Lacour. is presi-
dent of the republic ad interim The
congress will probably meet Wednes-
day. Two candidates remain-M.
