FRENCH HERO WORSHIP.
The Gaul Leans Toward the Glorious
Government of a Strung Man

Government or Strong Man.
AS nation the French have unfortunately a
leaning toward ithe glorious government of a
strong man, especially since:the HuguenOt ele-
ment was rooted out from them by sanguinary
persecution, and since Paris has nearly sucked
all strength from the municipal and provincial
life of the country. The old Gallo, or rather
Kelt-Iberian. spirit, though occasionally very
turbulent, is eminenly favorable TO the one
man system. The Teutonic or FTankfsh IN
fusion which In Montesquieu's words, brought
the principles OF self-government from The for
estS OF Germany" has in course Of time become
more and more Obllterated in France. The re-
suit has often been a deplorable one. Noble
risiDgs, begun in the name Of Liberty, Equality
and Fraternity, have repeatedly coll psed and
slid into CBsarism. BY a violent rebound the
arbitrary rule Of a usurping Emperor had TO be
overthrow by com nation Of foreign inva-
sion and Of revolutionary upheaVal. So IL
was again in 1870.

Notes.
Marshal Striker is proving his ability as
an administrator OF the law by making
every violator aware of existing Ordi-
nances. The Marshal announces that all
expressmen must comply with the recent
ordinance requiring them to take out
licenses. The case against Mr.. Moran, the
real estate dealer. was settled by that gen.
tleman paying two quarters arrears of
licenses and one quarter in advance.
