Queer Features of French Politics.

Queer Features of French Politics.
The politics of every country has some
queer features, but it would be hard to
match in any other country the queer
features of the politics of France. 1t
was announced in our cable dispatches
yesterday from Paris that the effort TO
force President Faure to resign had prac-
tically failed. The basis of the campaign
which President Faure's enemies conduct
ed against him was that his father-in-law,
NJ. BelIuot, had been guilty of a breach
of trust. The alleged offense consisted
in this: Four months after his marriage,
NJ. Belluot having squandered all his own
fortune and also that of his Wife left
his home. The squandering of his wifes
fortune was considered to be breach of
trust, President Faure got no dowry with
his wife.
But why should such an offense, COM
mitted many years ago, by his father-in-
law, be considered as good ground
for attacking the president of the
republic with the view of forcing him to
resign? 1t was much to his credit that
President Faure married the woman of
his choice, though she had no dowry
His act showed that he had very high
regard for her.
But brothers-in-law and fathers-in-law
appear to be important factors in French
politics, Was it not President Grevy who
was forced to resign because his son-in-
law Wilson was mixed up in disreputa-
bic transaction of some sort? 1t was never
shown that President Grevy profited by
or was in any way responsible for, his
son-in-law's wrong doing.
In this country ones grandfather may
have some influence upon his political
and social career. but the doings of IA
thers-in-law and sons-in-law are not re-
garded as of any consequence How
ever, President Faure does not appear
to have been harmed in any particular
by the ghost of father-in-law's misdeed
that was dangled before the public gaze
by his political enemies.

Mixed Streets.

One of Washington's most popular min
listers is rather noted for his tact and
taste in dress, says the Washington Star.
At weddings he enters with an air of
gayety and wears a flower fastened TO
the lapel of his coat. One day last week
he was called upon TO officiate at a we'd
ding which occurred on l. street north
west. 1t was an afternoon affair, and
after the ceremony there was a dinner,
followed by a bridal tour.
The divine took down the name and
the number of the street, but wrote i
street southwest instead of northwest.
Arraying himself in wedding attire, he
went to the house, and, as soon as he en-
tered noticed that the rooms were dark
ened and an air of solemnity pervaded.
The lady who ushered him in said:
You are the minister, are you not?"
Yes, madam"
"Well, you are little earlier than we
expected. Come into the parlor-the
corpse is there but the widow and fam
lily are not quite ready"
There was a few hurried words of ex-
PLANTATION and the minister reached the
house where the happy couple awaited
him, a few minutes late. 1t was remark
ed that he was not in his usual spirits,
and finally the story became known.

A aDead Duck, Politically.

Naturally the announcement Of Sena-
tor Cameron OF Pennsylvania that he
would not be a candidate for reelection
caused something Of a sensation in po-
htical circles. II was known Of course
that it was doubtful if he could be re-
elected, but it was thought he would
make a great effort TO remain in the Sen
ate, and would 80 out Of public life fight
ing to hold the place he has occupied so
long. He looked over the situation in his
state. however. and was forced to the
conclusion that the w.sest thing for him
TO do would be to announce that he was
not a candidate for reelection.
There can be no doubt that he did not
willingly arrive at that conclusion. He
has been a power in the politics Of Penn
sylvania for many years, and his father
before him was a power. His father.
however, was a much greater man than
he is. 1t was his father who made the
fortunes of the family and gave it the
standing it has in Pennsylvania.
1t is stated that the real cause of the
closing OF Senator Cameron's political
career was his ambition to be the presi-
dental candidate Of the silverites. The
story is that such men as Senators Tel
Ter. Wolcott. Jones. Stewart and other
silver senators led him to believe that if
he would come out squarely for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver he could
get the nomination of the silverites for
President. They wanted a strong and in
huental republican of the eastern states
TO come forward as a champion of silver,
because they thought it would help the
cause of silver. It is suggested that they
even INDUCED the hope that if they Sue
ceeded in getting Senator Cameron to
join them there would be such a general
movement in the eastern states towards
free silver coinage that the silverites
would have a prospect of controlling the
republican party.
Senator Cameron. so the impression is.
let his ambition get the better of his
judgment. In his imagination he saw the
country following him into the silver camp
and himself the leader of a great and
triumphant silver party. His magma
ton, however. played him a trick In
stead of being great and honored po-
litical chief he finds himself without in
huence or a following. His followers
have dropped away from him, and even
his great wealth cannot bring to him
support sufficient to justify him in max
ing an effort TO be reelected to the place
he has held so long. but never filed with
special credit to himself or his state.
A man who does not act in accordance
with his convictions may succeed in poll
tics for awhile. but he cannot have a great
political career. Sooner or later the peo-
pie will find out the sort of man he is
and then they will treat him with the
contempt and neglect he deserves We
are not in position, of course, to say
that in espouslng the cause of silver
Senator Cameron was not honest.
but it does look as If his change
of views from sound money to free
silver was not the result of conviction,
but rather of belief that silver opened
the way to him to the highest political
honor.

A Clever Policeman.

Not without reason was Napoleon wont
to boast of the intelligence and tact of the
French soldier, says the London Tele-
graph. A few weeks ago. at Orleans, a
communication by telegram had made
known to the gendarTies of that place OF
the arrival there of a woman named Ro-
sine, who had fed from Tours after com
hitting a robbery. A gendarme on duty
at the terminus saw a rather suspicious
looking woman alight from one of the car
riages. He addressed himself to her say
ing: Where do you come FROM" From
