French politics. especially since the fall of the
Empire. is full Of surprises Of this kind The
foes Of yesterday are the bosom friends Of to-
day. and the man who is now at the foot Of the
ladder may before twelve months have passed by
be atsits summit. NJ. Faure's election to the
Presidency is surprise Of this kind; not that he
was by any manner of means at the bottom of
the ladder but still Of his friends or &C
quaintances dreamed OF his being called
upon to transfer his abode from the charming
villa which he possesses the Boulevard Mari
time at Havre. TO the Palace Of the Elysee. Yet
now that he is there every one acquainted with
his sterling character must confess that he is the
man above all others fitted to assume the Presi-
dency OF the Republic at the present juncture.
Almost alone of the circle Of clever and brilliant
men who clustered around Gambetta and formed
the nucleus OF the Opportunist party, he has
never had the slightest insinuation made even
by the most scurrilous guter-rags of the Partisan
press. against his honesty. His integrity as well
as his private life is entirely free from even the
very breath of scandal; and although he has
maintained amicable and even intimate relations
with many OF the Opportunist leaders, such as
NJ Raynal for instance, who has been so ter
ribly compromised in connection with the Rail
has ever ventured to suggest that he had any
finger in the pie of administrative and legis-

This immunity is due not only TO his personal
character and past record. but also to his wealth.
No one take exception to the latter. for I'M
like that Of the outgoing President, 1t has come
to him not by inheritance. but by hard work. In
the library OF his villa at Havre. where is his
real home, there hangs the wall q picture
representing him with rolledup shirt sleeves and

OREGON CITY, Jan. 13.-Last nights
wind storm moved the house of Mr..
Phillips, at Gladstone, from its founda-
tion, and only convenient woodpile
prevented its upsetting. The family
still occupies the house, which is a
rather frail structure. A large rock was
detached from the bluff in the southern
part of town as the local train was going
up this morning, and it fell so near the
track that the steps were taken from a
car in the train. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were Frustrated by the
storm, but the telegraph lines were soon
restored to working order. Several cleo
trio lights were disabled. The tall flag
pole at Cataract hosehouse was blown
down. The recent rains have brought
the river up again, and it Is % feet above
low water mark below the falls tonight.
Above the falls today at noon, the water
marked IL :3 feet, and the locks had to
be closed to navigation. The river is ex-
pected to continue to rise tomorrow
Already there is some trouble at
the electric power house on account
of the high water. A lot OF logs escaped
from the Gladstone mill boom last night.
