Epfthets Applied to Nj. Faurc.
. LONDON. Jan. 21.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times telegraphs that an even
ing newspaper of the French capital has
collected and reprinted a number Of the
epithets already heaped on the new Presi-
dent of the French republic NJ Felix
Faure, by the Radical and Socialist organs
as rule, although a few of them were
culled from the pages of Royalist papers.
In view of the fact that the fall of the
Dupuy Cabinet and the subsequent resig-
nation of President Casimir-Perier were
caused by an insulting article written in
the Chomard by M. Gerault-Richard, for
which he was sentenced to a years impris-
onment, fined and later elected a member
of the Chamber of Deputies, the list of
epithets is significant.

The last four nicknames are due to the
fact that his son-in-law is the administra-
tor of the Congo Free State. The Times,
commenting on the foregoing list of nick
names this morning, says: "The purpose
of the scurrilous epithets is to discradit
authority of every kind. The unbrid,ed IL
cense of abuse and the universal spirit of
suspicion conspicuous in French public
life constitutes serious danger, not only
to France, but to Europe at large"
