Casimir. .Perier's fault II tho two hun.
dred and two days Of his presidency do
no, end In the ruin Of parliamentary
government in France. He has acted
like spoiled child or an ill.tempered
chess player, who, on finding that
h. had done badly, loses over the chess
board.
Paris awoke this morning to learn
that no had resigned. He 10 we'll mean.
inc, but querulously. .touchy. and |, sur.
rounded with would.be Republican
,snegades or wealthy scmi-Liberals,
afraid il they move on to melt like
.paii.. He has been at sea eince the
death OF his bosom friend. NJ. Bnrdeau,
TO whose want OF moral sense he was
blind, and whose great talent he over
rated.
REslGNISG WAS IN BAD FORM.
In rosiyuing, the president muddled
Al already confused situation. The act
otrs,ignation was in bad form and dis
respectful, though not Intentionally so.
The circumstances connected with that
even, are deplorable. The highest post
ha, been deserted at the first crisis.
The wholesome precedent established
BY NacMahon,. Grevy and Carnot in
consulting in times OF difficulty the
presidents OF both legislative houses
wa. di.cardet. ". Chalemal.LaCour,
president Of the senate. was alone sen:
for, he having always rather encour'
aged than sought TO allay NJ. Casimir

With the wisdom OF the serpent u
Carimir.Perier had taken umbrage a
u. Brisson's election to the presidencl
Of the chamber OF deputies after VI. Bor
deau'sdeath and regarded his reelection
the other day as slight to himself.

les. by her husband. Far from 1t; bu
he was not rich enough to live in gram
nyls. When II. Bordeau was dying NJ
Climir.Perier promised to be frien
10 bis family and was behind N
Dupuy when he proposed a publ
funeral at a.co.t OF 10000 francs and
pension 10 the widow OF 1900 franc
annually. This pension was pare
down to 5000 francs. but tho othe
