Tha Outlook In France.

The outlook In France continues en-
couraging and strengthens the hope that
the drift In the direction OF conservatism.
which was started by the assassination
OF Carnot. will prove something more
than a temporary reaction. The proceed
ings OF the Chamber OF Deputies on We'd
nesday were at once distinct triumph
for both Casimlr-Perier and Dupuy. and
notice that the new regime had no COM
promise To make with Socialism. ultra
Radicalism, or any other extreme element
Burdeau, who was elected President or
the Chamber, is:a trusted friend and adj
wiser OF the new President, and II was
upon his suggestion that the Dupuy min
istry was retained 1t would seem. there
fore. that France has not only an I'M
usually strong but an exceptionally har-
monious trio at the head OF her anairs.
Following the election Of Burdeau the
government was interpolated by Valiant
regarding the suppression OF the ceie-
bration at Pere la Chaise In memory OF
the Communists who were shot, and
evoked from Dupuy the reply that the
government Wouiu fol dhVW any "PN'~o'
for assassination and Communism. and
that the country remembered the Com
mune with horror and disgust.
This declaration forced the issue square,
ly. and upon a subsequent motion of VAIL
| liant that the Parlslans be allowed 10
honor their dead OF 1871 as they pleased,
he was voted down by n majority even
greater than that by which Brisson. who
| opposed Dupuy for the presidency Of the
( Chamber, was defeated.
! II has been contended from the hrst
! that Casmir-Perier would have definite
and clean-cut policy. and that he would
! be positive force In directing the affairs
OF State Assuming as there is every
reason TO- that Dupuy spoke for the Presi-
/ dent as well as for the ministry, 1t may
be said that the new Chief Magistrate
has justified the contention referred 70.
and with q firm hand has taken disorder
By the throat at the very Threshold That
he msy b. able to continue as he has
begun Is tho earnest hope Of every well
wisher of the French republic.

StrinRfellow's Reply.

Major Charles 8. Strngfellow is under

report which Lee Camp night before last
adopted as its answer to Columbia Post,
Grand Army Of the Republic, of Chicago.
His work was we'll done. AS to this
there are no two opinions here. The facts
were felicitously grouped and the position
OF the South was stated in language at
once vigorous and logical. courteous and
chaste.
one Of the very best speeches ever made
In Richmond was that OF Major String
fellow. placing IN nomination for Gov
ernor Colonel A. S. Buford. and now we
have from him paper which is going to
be widely read and thoroughly discussed
and which. We feel sure. will stand the
test OF all legitimate criticism.
Indeed. We shall be disappointed in our
expectations II II does not become a his
torical document: a standard OF reference
on the position OF the South, past and
present.

Governor Altgeld's Protest.

President Cleveland indicated clearly
that he thought there was duty i'm
poscd upon him by the Constitution OF
the United States when he telegraphed In
reply TO a long argument from Governor
Altgeld. Of Illinois, that in his opinion
discussion might well give way TO ac-
tive efforts on the part Of all In au-
thority 10 restore obedience TO law and
protect life and property" The President
thus declared in substance that no would
not hddle whilst Rome was burning.
Nevertheless, though he has abundant au-
.hority In the Constitution for claiming
70 be a real ruler. and not mere figure

Washington on Friday that the purpose
" the government Is not to attempt to
control the mobs engaged in rioting In
Chicago and elsewhere unless the State
authorities fail In this duty, but that the
government troops and the posses Of
United States deputy marshals will devote
heir energies TO protecting government
property, to preventing interference with
Interstate commerce, and 10 securing the
free transmission OF the mails. These are
duties as 10 the performance of which
no question can be raised. Here let us
note that at Cabinet meeting on Friday
Il was ascertained that in the opinion OF
the Attorney-General and all the mem
bers. the militia organizations OF one State
sould DO called on to suppress disorder

had failed 10 enforce obedience 10 the

The Federal Constitution authorizes
Congress TO establish post-ofiices and post

Horsas for the Cadets.

Under the signature of "Alumnus' we
publish on our first page to-day snort
communication urging that the Virginia
Military Institute provide itself Win
horses to draw its cannon in the artillery
drills. and TO enable the cadets to have
better instruction in cavalry tactics.
Our information as to the income and
receipts Of the institute does not enable
US TO say whether the means at hand
Will allow OF such an expenditure, but
we feel sure that If the institute could
provide itself with horses for the pur-
poses mentioned they would prove draw
ing cards" 1t may be that the increased
patronage would meet the. increased ex-
pense
There are many city young men who
are unskllled in Workmanship who. when
debating in their minds what college to
attend, would decide in favor of that
one at which they could learn TO ride In
addition to receiving the regular course
OF instruction.
AS we have said. not being thoroughly
conyersant with the finances Of the in
stitute, We hesitate TO pass Judgment on
so important a matter, but we are glad
to know that n committee OF the Board
of Visitors is considering the subject.
We must add that "Alumnus' is one
of the most distinguished OF living Vir-
ginians, a man Of military training and
war service, and a dear lover OF the
Virginia Military Institute.

SUNDAY. ........... JULY 8, 1894.
Thu sitnation at Chicago.

There was some shooting done al Chi
cago yesterday b. the military, but the
consequences were not quite so serious
as first reported. and the shooters were
not United States soldiers, but two com
panios Of state militia.
The forbearanCe so far exhibited on
the part Of the police, marshals, and mill
tary has been something wonderful. In
deed. at this distance from Chicago It
seems unaccountablc. for We have a con
tinudl stream of reports Of incendiarism
anu terrorism on the part of the mob.
In Yesterdays affair 1t seems that the
soldiers were guarding some cars when
they were assaulted and when one OF their
licutenants was knocked down, under
which provocatlon they fired. not killing
any one outright but badly woundlng
several
The account which we have OF this
firing does not indicate that 1t was effec-
i've enough TO subdue the rlotous spirit
which seems 10 possess Chicago. But we
feel sure that things cannot go on much
ionge- rs they have been going for seve-
raj DAYS.
4 plan OF operations has now been re-
solved upon. which will quickly put TO the
test the willingness Of the mob to fight
the combined Federal and State officers.
Every railroad depot In Chicago is now
practically In the hands Of tho military.
and, the railroad companies having pro-
Nided themselves with sufficient train
hands attempts viii be forthwith made
10 renew the running Of mail traJus.
The orders issued are in effect that If
the strikers. or the mob, or any unau-
thorized persons interfere with these
trains they win be bayoncted or fired
upon.
The United States Government seems TO
have taken entire possession OF the North
srn Pacific railroad for use as a military
and post-road. If we mistake not there
Is something in the charter OF this road,
or In the conditions upon which Congress
granted money TO aid in its construction.
which gives the government a peculiar
claim upon It I'm time OF war or insur-
rection.
A number of great public meetings are
70 be held in Chicago to-day TO discuss
The strike. one of these was called TO
pass resolutions urging the Pullman Com
pany TO consent 10 refer TO arbitrators the
questions at issue between the company
and the strikers. Such proposition as
this was made 10 the Pullmans by the
men before they went out. 1t was the
rejection Of 1t by the Pullmans which
caused the order to strike TO be given.
1t would, therefore, seem that the Pull
mans would not now be very favorable TO
it-urless. indeed, they wholly despair of
protection for their works. So far as we
know, there il not the slightest sign Of
their weakening. All the statements
made by them recently indicate that they
are immovable in their purpose TO adhers
20 their original resolve-to manage their
own business In their own way.
The hope of the country for the restora-
zion OF order at Chicago Is in the Presi-
dent OF the United States and those acting
under him. No great confidence can be
felt in either the Mayor OF Chicago or the
Governor of Illinois.
