second-rate man, at least in politics;
but Carnot was not a tirst-rate politi-
clan or statesman, and still he was
good President since he confined him
self within his quiet role of a figure
head, which is the only one left to the
supreme magistrate by the French con-
stitution 1t is true that political pas
sions and socialist aspirations have
been lately at the white heat point in
France, and that NJ. Felix Faure will
have to face more difficulties than his
predecessors. A writer in Harper's says
that unless a revolution should over
throw both him and the chambers, he
is sure to stay in power so long as he
will be able to find men willing to form
cabinets to replace those thrown aside
by parliament Nevertheless, 1t must
not be forgotten that he was elected
Jan. IL by only 430 votes, most of them
given by senators. and that the cham
Der presided over by his defeated COM
petitor, M. Henri Brisson, will not be
over-favorable to the new President.
M. Faure is the representative of the
opportunist party, which itself repre-
sents the small bourgeoise, whose an
cestorS made the revolution of the last
century, and which has governed the
French republic since the resignation
of MacMahon in 1879. The new Presi-
dent has a great advantage over his
predecessor M. Casimir-Perier. he is
not suspected of nursing any ambition
to impose his own idea of government
or of being the champion Of capitalists.
M. Felix Faure, however, is a wealthy
man; although, unlike NJ. Casimir-
Perier. his wealth is the result of his
own labor for he was an ordinary
workman at his early age. He was
born in Paris, Jan. 80, 1S41, but he is
generally considered as being Nor
mand, since he spent most of his life at
Havre, where he was commission and
