THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

Kansas City Star: The royal and imperial

seen the present congress when they failed

Buffalo Express Such scenes are all too
common in the French Chamber, but 1t is
their frequency which causes the friends of
the republic to shake their heads In this
particular instance the vote Of lack of CON
fidence was decisive enough to wreck the
Dupuy ministry. The fact is to BE- greatly
regretted What France most needs is a pc
riod Of stability and freedom from ministerial
crises.

THE IOWI HOLD-EP.

Davenport Democrat According to the
express company the Iowa bank robbers did
not secure much booty. That is always the
way. An express company never was robbed
of anything Of value according to the officials
who always know a great deal more than
they care to tell.
Minneapolis Journal Another bold and
easy train robbery in Iowa is added to the
long list; but nothing is done to stop
such lawlessness, and the country seems TO
have reached the conclusion that train rob-
berry cannot possibly be placed under the
head of preventable crimes. Some people,
however, are daring enough to believe that
the nuisance cannot only be abated, but
stopped.

himself in favor of the Pacific railroad
debt funding scheme, but he made
promise to carry out the instructions
of the legislature on that question what
ever they might be. Incidentally Mr..
Thurston intimates that he does not
expect to be called on to determine this
question because the failure of con-
gress to pass the funding bill between
now and the 18th of March will be fol-
lowed by foreclosure of the first mort
gage. This is as ingenious as 1t Is
suggestive. The managers of the fund
ing scheme served notice on congress
only few days ago that 1t must push
weeks or run the risk of losing the op-
portunity to saddle the colossal and
fraudulent debt of the Pacific roads
upon the people west OF the Mississippi.
Manifcstly the duty of the Nebraska
legislature is imperative to follow the
lead of the Colorado legislature, which,
although overwhelmingly republican.
has by nearly unanimous vote in
structed the Colorado senator's to oppose
the funding bill. Such an instruction,
If Mr. Thurston's tip is well founded,
should be directed to Senators Mander-
son and Allen and the present delega-
ton in the lower house. The fact that
the government directors, the attorney
general and President Cleveland all
agree in favor of the funding scheme
signifies nothing more than that the
Pacific railroads exercise an irresistible
influence over these officials.
Mr. Thurston's position on the rela-
tions of labor and capital, on strikes
and arbitration, will be endorsed by
conservative people of all classes. His
proposition for the creation of depart
ment of labor that will collect and com
pile statistics of labor and industrial
development is already forestalled by
the labor and census bureaus, both of
which have for years been engaged in
the work mapped out by our senator
elect.

was minister of" marine in the Dupuy
ministry, the Hresignatlon of which
brought on thf political crisis, and 1t
is to be presuntedA was in full sympathy
with his colledcuee in the cabinet. His
elevation to the presidency under the
circumstances would seem, therefore,
to imply that there had been a change
of feeling on Uegpart of some of the
members of the, Chamber of Deputies
whose votes only last Monday forced
the resignation Of the ministry and led
to the retirement from the presidency
of NJ. Casimir= Perier. But, however
this may be, the election of NJ. Faure
must be regarded as an endorsement
by the National Assembly of the late
government, so far at least as the issue
between it and the Chamber of Deputies
is concerned, and this is important in its
bearing upon the domestic politics of
the republic in the immediate future.
1t hardly need be said that President
Faure has Il very difficult task before
him. He will doubtless not find it an
easy matter to construct n cabinet ac-
ceptable to the country or which will
not be liable to come into conflict at
once with the Parliament, and If he un-
dertakes to continue the policy of his
predecessor, which it is to be expected
he will do in part ut least, the troubles
and perpleXities of the new admins
tration will begin with it's assumption
of power. 1t cannot be assumed, there
fore. that with the election of n new
president the political crisis is at an
end. There remains great deal of
dissatisfaction and the growing and ag-
gressive socialist element is Il factor
capable of making no little disturbance
and trouble. The great question now
to be dealt with is the constitutional
one of the separation of powers, and
there may be several crises before this
is settled.
NJ Felix Faure is the sixth president
of the present French republic and dur
ing the twenty three years of its exist
ence there have been thirty
changes of ministry.

THE NEW PRESIDENT or FRANCE,

the French National Assembly to elect n
successor to Nj. Casimir-Perier, but this
does not indicate that the proceedings
We're devoid Of excitement. They We're,
on the contrary, characterized by num-
Der of very exciting incidents, due to

of the candidates for the presidency, NJ.
Brisson, president Of the Chamber of
Deputies, other socialists refused to vote

Walter Wellman, the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Herald, is
authority for the statement that never
in the history of that city has there
been so much distress among the poor
there as is found today. This is of
course greatly to be deplored, but it
goes to prove that the present unfor-
tllnate condition of the lower classes in
many of our cities is by no means local.
Washington is really n southern city,
and if distress exists there, it is also to
be found in other southern cities. The
fact of poverty in the northern cities is
quite generally known. The demand for
charity is peculiarly heavy this win
ter, and it is not confined to any one
locality or group of localities.
