THE FRENCH CRISIS.

When Casimir Perier resigned the
Presidency of the French Republic the
fifth president of the Third Republic
went out of Office before his term ex
pred. Theirs the first president was
forced out by the Monarchists, Marshall
MacMahon who succeeded tried to
please both Monarchists and Republicans
and finally fell into the disfavor OF the
Republicans. President Grevy fell q
prey to political scandals which, although
not connected with them himself, in
yolved his political friends and forced
him to resign. Garnet was assassinated
aud Perier petulantly resigned because
political opponents criticised him. Not
q single president has yet served his term
out. This fact is no doubt partially &c
counted for blythe changeablenes ef the
French but mostly BY the TACT that the
president of France is held responsible

the legislative and judicial departments.
The consequence is that there is con-
slant change Of ministries and presidents.
Since 1871 France has had six presidents
and thirty-ive ministries. When the
Chamber ct Deputies Fail to support a
measure of the ministers the ministry is
expected to resign but not so with the
president.
The late crisis was brought about by a
set of circumstances which could never
come to pass in our country. The Min
lister of public works decided that the
guarantee of interest on certain railroad
interests expired in 1914, the directors
held that the guarantee was perpetual
The point was then taken before the
chamber of deputies and there it was
held that the council Of state had power
to decide the case thus defeating the
ministry which Immediately resigned.
Perier sooner than form a new ministry
and risk new election, resigned. His
action is almost universally condemned
by the French press. He showed him
self weak and lacking in patriotism If
there was any time when the president
should have staid by his post it was then
when the Monarchists were most loud in
their opposition to the republic. and the
constitution was most in need of reform
alton. There appears to be one thing
settled, however, and that is that the
French people will never again return to
monarchy. Republican ideas are firmly
rooted in France and cannot be ever
thrown by shouts for king.
The new president, M. Felix Faure,
is member of the conventions party
and q close friend Of Perier. He is an
able man and it remains to be seen
whether or not he will be able to hold
his own with the Chamber of Deputies
which Of late has taken supreme power
in legislative executive and judicial mat
tere. What France needs just now is a
president with the will and iron grasp
of Bismark, Stambaulof or Crispi
Such person would be able to give to
France an effective constitution and put
a stop forever to the pretenses OF royal
dukes President Faure is Catholic
and enjoys the confidence of most of the
French factions.

JOSEPH SHoRErr died in Duluth last

known as an habitual smoker and had
it not been for his Unsuitable tondness of

fallen upon him in the second century of

The irrepressible Father Colly," foun-
der of the defunct american Catholic
Church" (which consisted of a few dis
gruntled Cleveland Poles-is making
frantic efforts to get back into the one
true fold, says the Buffalo Union and
Times. He went to Washington to see
Mgr. Satolli, who refused to receive him.
The insincerity Of this renegade priest is
shown by his effort to create the impres-
sion that his return is being sought by
the Church authorities, the talsity of
which statement is exposed by letter
from the Vicar General of the diocese Of
Cleveland, Mgr. Boff. When this man
who has given such great scandal, comes
back to that communion in which alone
he can find peace, he will come as sup
plant on Bonded knee and with bowed
head and not as conqueror.

No matter what course is pursued the
Republicans will be held responsible.
The voters Of this country have held the
Democratic party responsible in y large
degree Tor the difficulties Of the past two
years. They have handed Congress over
to the Republicans and will hold them
responsible. It may be safely said that
President Cleveland will as readily ap.
prove legislation passed by Republican
Congress as that passed by Democratic
Congress. He will give them no oppor-
tunity to say that the president stood in
their way. He will hold them to the i'm
mediate difficulty, which is the currency
bug bear. They will not be allowed to
say that the revenues should be increased
and the difficulty thus temporarily re-
moved only to appear in more aggra
waited form in few years. The country
Is tired OF tar1H agiLaLlon ana leRlslaIlon
and will not submit to any more at pres.
ent. The Republicans know this and
will be afraid to touch the tariff.
There is therefore not at all pleasing
or hopeful prospect before the Repu bli.
can party. Unless business reviyes
greatly the Republicans will yet have q
chance to share with the Democrats the
wild oats which they have been sowing
for thirty years and it is right they should
Observing and intelligent voters readily
place the entire responsibility where it
belongs.
We wish to see the return of prosper
ity at the earliest possible moment, yet
it would be no more than just that the
Republicans should bear the burden OF
their sins.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2s. 1885,.
THE JURY IN THE CASE.

There seems to be good ground for
stating that the first juror chosen in the
Hayward trial is opposed to hanging on
principle, and that he is Catholic hater.
1t is hard to comprehend how man
could take an oath to faithfully perform
the awful duty imposed upon q juror in
a criminal trial of the capital nature,
with such feelings as it appears that juror
possesses. A man may be opposed to
hanging on principle and be thoroughly
sincere, but if the law of the common
wealth provides that murder shall be
punished by hanging, he who permits
himself to be placed on a jury to sit in q
trial where the evidence may justify such
punishment with the firm purpose not
to 90 punish or even the Discrimination to
80 punish has put himself without and
beyond the law. His crime is akin to
and in the nature of murder. He is
committing a crime against the laws OF
the state and consequently against it's
people. No man has right to set his
opinions up against the laws Of state
and thus render them in effective no mat
ter how humane or just his reasons.
But on top of the statements in regard
10 opposition to capital punishment
comes the dark hint of religious hatred
ano higotry placed in the scale pan
agninst the life OF the dead girl. It has
often been rumored since the murder Of
Catherine Cling that her murderers
would never be punished. In such an
opinion we did not allow ourselves
to share until the Developments of the
last few days.
We had placed confidence in the abil
ity and integrity of the county attorney
to zealous!y guard the interests OF the
community and justice. That confidence
has not been entirely abused, but it is
apparent to all that the care and efforts
Of the defense are far out of proportion
to those Of the state. It is true Mr.. Nye
is not charged with prosecuting or hound
Jog any one to death, but he Is charged
with seeing that the truth be discovered
and justice done in accordance. The
people do not ask for anything more than
justice. but they do ask justice and will
demand it.
If the mau on trial is innocent his in
terests demand fair trial and 90 de-
mand to that effect can ipjure him. 1t
IS only in case he Is guilty that any pre-
judice or unfairness can aid him, and i'll
that case he is entitled to no. aid. There
are more on trial in this case than the
man charged before the bar. We ask
only that the majesty of the law and the
escrednees of human life be recognized
and protected.

result il that. under the cover Of MARI
age, which gives i garh Of respecta ability,
! American social life Is becoming as Grim
inal as was the Grecian. No, the new
woman and all her tendencies are bad.
She is to be avoided bit perhaps not
greatly to be feared. Cardinal Gibbons
in speaking Of thenew woman some tiEae
ago said:
mo, the new woman is not new. Nor
do I think she need be feared. Every
evil influence in society is to be deplored
and its remedy seriously considered; but
thank God, Christianity assures the
world always a large majority of right
minded, true-hearted women who work
quietly, doing Gods will in the sphere
OF life whereunto they are by nature
called, protecting the little ones against
the fuss and feathers Of the female agita-
tor. I would tell the new woman that
the cardinal virtues of woman ara
chastity and humility. The one attracts
God, and through the other God is born
into the world. would tell the new
woman that to be happy she must purify
her heart by prayer aud humble herself
by self-denial, remembering that self-de-
NAL is actually the denying OF ones sell,
and that herself being the vanity Of in

religion. For what doth it profit a
woman if she gain the whole world and

THE population of Scotland is fast

completely merged her ancient and gal.
liant nationality in that of her ancient
enemy; while Ireland needs rs, 600 regu-
lars, not to mention 10000 militia, $4,000
armed constables and about 5000 coast
guards and other armed servants of the
crown to keep her in subsection. It is
true the militia are not constantly under
arms, but they are kept ready for any
emergency, especially in the Orange
counties. The great armed force, main
tanned in Ireland in times of peace, is
certainly an indirect compliment to the
warlike spirit Of The vanquished nation.
Besides, there was within few hours
call, in England and Wales, nearly $4,000
additional regulars garrisons being al

those countries, because they bring trade

$4,000 in India and Burmah. Egypt still
requires more than 5000 troops of all
kinds, and, in the Mediterranean. Malta
has garrison of $500 and Gibraltar one
of nearly 5000. Hong Kong has force
of about $500 and South Africa about
$500 of the imperial troops. Canada has
the services of about 1900 British SOL

some weeks ago prominent Catholic
of Michigan was elected president of
leading Catholic society. says the Mem
phis Catholic Journal. The parish priest
notified him that he could not hold the
office because he sent his children to the
public schools. The man appealed to the
bishop and it did not take that prelate
long to set matters right. The priests
unwise and untenable decision was re-
versed and the man duly installed into
office, and his children are still attending
the public schools 1t is only short
time ago that Monsignor OReilly pub.
licly rebuked Father Roshbach, a Cana
dian priest, for b1gotry, and now Bishop
Foley administers q similar rebuke to
one Of his priests. It is certainly graft
tying to see Catholic bishops adopt such
speedy and pointed measures to nip big
otry in the bud whenever it appears
among priests or laymen.

MoNs1a voR SAroLL1's address on edu-
cation at the De LaSalle Institute, New
York, on the occasion Of bis recent recep-
tion was in his usual graceful language
and thoughtful vein, says the Baltimore
Mirror. He is trained in the classics and
loves them, and hence it is to be noticed
that whenever he speaks in public he is
pretty certain to m ike happy classical
illusions as he did in his speech at this
pleasant re- union. He urged, as he had
often urged before, that there cannot be
true education without religion. Some
thing must be done for the morals as
we'll as the mind; in fact, as he said,
Gust as instruction, separated from moral
education often turns out ruinous and
disastrous, so moral education without
the spirit of religion is work which
may make man exterlorly moral, but
n It altogether and thoroughly honest"
The heart must be reached, and the
pathway is not wholly through the secu
lar studies. if at all in that direction.
Religion is q lamp for the feet. The
child left to himself without that guide
is almost certain to stumble and perhaps
20 altogether astray.

TUESDAY Justice Collins, of the Su-
preme Court, handed down decision
reversing decision made by Judge Eli
oft while on the municipal court of this
city in reference to what is known as the
Rand ordinance. This ordinance directed
that prosecutions under the city ordin.
ances in regard to saloons should be
commenced on complaint of police Off
GERS only. Private citizens by this Or
dinance could not prosecute violations Of
the saloon ordinances. Judge Elliott
held that the Rand ordinance was un-
constitutional and that private citizens
could prosecute. Justice Collins decided
that such violations are not crimes and
that private citizens are not SO injured
as to give them right to prosecute when
forbidden by CITY ordinance. It a city
has a right to pass an ordinance regulat-
ing saloons it has a right to pass another
ordinance directing how that ordinance
may be enforced. This appears to be
right and is now the law Crusaders
will now have to look for other jobs.
The decision puts an end to the unprin-
cipled spies who 20 about looking up the

The election of Gov. Nelson to the
United States Senate is the consomma-
ton of one Of the shrewdest and most
bitter contests fought IN the state OF
Minnesota. Probably there has never
beer contest in the state whose results
will be as far reaching as the one just
ended. It means great deal OF bad
blood in the Republican ranks. The
result is no doubt pleasing to the major
ity of Democrats. From purely local
interests the Irish Standard would have
preferred Washburn. It is source of
satisfaction to know that although the
contest was decided in open session of
the entire legislature Mr. Nelson was
elected by Republican votes. Senator
Washburn was outgeneraled from the
first His campaign was apparently poorly
managed, while Nelson had the entire
patronage Of the state behind him.

At the Houssau colliery, in Belgium. a
shaft has recently been sunk by mea %
of what is known as the Poetsch system,
for which various advantages are claimed.
The process in this case is summarized
as follows: A number Of metal pipes
were first sunk outside the limits Of the
proposed shaft to depth somewhat
lower than a stratum OF water bearing
and nearly forty feet thick, which oc-
CURED at depth Of about two feet;these
tubes were Of large size and closed at the
ends, and inside them were placed oth-
ers open at the ends, so that the interior
OF each main tube was divided into two
chambers. A very cold solution OF chlor-
idle of magnesium was then forced down
the smaller tubes, and, rising outside
them in the larger one, it gradually froze
the water III the quicksand until it be-
came hard enough to be worked like
rock, enabling shaft to be sunk hrough

through the quickssnd when the work
began amounted to over 4lOUO gallons an h 5
