ties. The conventions were so drawn
as to, in many cases, allow interest of
% per cent OIL the capital subscribed
They allowed guarantees of interest on
all the capital i'll shares and bonds, but
were silent as to the date when the in
terest guarantees were TO cease. AS
prime minister, Casimir>Perier selected
Raynal to be minister of the interior,
anu this person ordered police raids on
the domiciles of thousands of harmless
people. to terrify the socialists and pre-
Vent attacks oil the score of the cOnVen-
tions, thus breeding spirit of violence
that eliminated III Carnoi's murder.
Raynal is coreligionist of Capt. Drey-
fus. who was recently sentenced to life
Imprisonment for betraying military
secrets to foreign government. He
comes from Bordeaux, where the presi-
dents mother, a SemiJeWess, was
brought up.
The council Of state, high political
and civil tribunal, has just decided that
the interest guarantees expire in 1858,
instead of 1914, as Raymal claimed TO
believe. BY this means the state will
lose 100000 francs, Independently of
other crushing conditions tor the tax
payers sanctioned in the conventions
which establish a great railway mOnOp-
oily for the next sixty years.
At one sitting of the chamber. in 1885,
6G0,0U0 francs were spent in gaining
three votes. NJ. Ferry had lived in IA
tenement house lodging up to 1888. He
resided subsequently In a splendid
house built for himself in the aristo-
cratic district of Paris. am acquainted
with deputies who were poor before tie
conventions were voted. but who have
since formed costly art collections.
NJ. Casimir-Perier's choicc tf Eaynal
for minister of the interior was generally
thought astounding, but was considered
to have been due 10 the liability Of the
former to be hoodwinked.
It's Colossal BIunder
for the president to take up the cudgeIs
for Raynal, who. being very clever,
cannot be credited with having made
an oversight, He is therefore stamped
as the author of colossal act of knay-
cry. Even the Socialists refrained
from accusing Casimir~Peripr of COM
plIcity. Why, then, should he act as if
the conventions cap fitted himself as
we'll as Raynal?
The presidential message was read in
the chamber of deputies today by BriS-
son in mellitiuOus voice and with adj
mirable emphasis. It was the most ILL
judged state paper of which have any
recollection. 1t hits at the friends and
foes of the author and is absurd
throughout.
Casimir~Pprler goes back tomorrow to
his private residence in the Rue Nitro.
where he lives on the first floor, and his
mother, who, with Burdeau and SpUller,
persuaded him to run for the presi-
dency lives on the ground floor
BriSson has apparently the best chance
of being elected president. because lie
is Puritan and is wanted for the place,
but he will not have a majority in the
senate.
Soubel, who was prime minister when
the railway scandals were unveiled IN
Panama, who was not implicated in
them, is also mentioned in connection
with the office.
Dupuy also has fair chance and will
be supported by the railway companies
money. He is treating the council of
states decision in the railway matter as
final.
Felix Fauer, minister of marine, is
also spokenof.
Brisson is the best man. He is the
souEef~heH0r. an example of -coufugal
fidelity and very eloquent. Nine. Cash
mir Perier has been anxious for the
resignation of her husband, she finding
the Palace of the Elysee costly prison
and her children's lives threatened, and.
therefore, deprived of their usual out
ings. The whole family lived in a glass
house to be marks for missils, and,
while the objects of burning jealousy,
were utterly wretched
