PARIS, Sept. This letter will have In spite
Of myself, a pessimlstio tinRe. 1t ia not my
habit TO look at the dark side Of things, and
have learned to go through hard times without
being too much frightened at the morrow that
Il 10 come. But I cannot help sharing the
anxiety of all around me at the dark clouds
asthering on the horizon Of our internal poll
tics and our financial affairs.
These dark clouds are not all new ones
Most of them could be seen by sharp eyes long
before the tragic death OF NJ. Csrnot. But his
death, or rather the events which followed II,
have roughly broken into the security TO which
ve abandoned ourselves, closing our eyes.
Though hardly two months have passed since
Caserio's crime, reasons for the most serious
alarm have appeared In our situation. In the
frst moments our republican institutions
seemed TO come out with greater strength from
the trials 10 which they were subjected. No
one till then would have thought that
France, eurpr1Seu Dy buCn
would have exhibited such absolute calm.
II would have seemed that the sudden disap-
pearance Of the head of the State must at least
cause commOtion and local disturbances. In
Paris, especially, where many seeds of
r,volution and Of disorder always ger
minatlng, where dreams, aspirations, and am
bitions of all kinds are constantly Torment
inq. A momentary outbreak at the receipt Of the
news Of the sudden vacancy in the executive
mower would not have been at all surprising.
Il was o surprise for every one to see that not
IN the capital, any moro than in any other part
of the country, was the slightest measure OF re-
preston or even Of precaut!on needed. It was
the emphatic confirmation Of tho change that
has taken place In our manners and our
temperament, which have more than once, In
lato years, had occasion TO notice. 1t was
q now proof and guarantee that we have ceased
10 be the too impressionable and easily carried
away people that we once were More astonlsh-
ing and more reassuring still was the universal
public sorrow and the general indignation
caused by the crime Of June "a. The testimony
Of general sympathy rendered Indirectly to
Franco In tho person of tho chief magistrate
who was taken from her. wns at the same time
q happy manifestation of international good
will. Then came tho quiet transmission Of
power which. after an interregnum Of three
days placed the presidency Of the Republic In
tho hands of NJ. Casimir- -Perier. without an
hours interruption or oisturoance IN 'ho hof-
NAL course Of either public or private life.
