office on May 1, in order to accept the re-
sponsibility of maintaining order on that
holiday.
1t is generally expected that at tomor-
rows session of the chamber the cabinet
will meet with vigorous opposition upon
the part of the Radicals and Socialists.
The latter have already declared a pitiless
war upon the Meline ministry, the forma-
ton of which, they assert, is unconstitu
tional and contrary to parliam entary
usage. They promise a resolution aimed
at President Faure. The friends of NJ
Meline say he will not be deferred by this
prospect, and it seems certain that with
May day close at hand the chamber will
not care to overturn government which
is not yet guilty of any political wrong
The newspapers, however, all regard a
dissolution of parliament as inevitable.
NJ Felix Jules Meline was born at
Remiremont in the department of the
Vosges, in May, 1888, and studied for the
bar. After going to Paris his first public
office was when Jules Ferry was chosen
mayor of Paris during the siege. In 1872
he was elected to the assembly, and re
elected in 1877. He was under secretary
to the minister of the interior, NJ. de Mar
cere, in the Grevy cabinet.
Not being in touch with Gambetta,
Grevy's successor, NJ Meline, rather lay
under cloud until 1888. In that year the
Reinach and the Scheurer Kestner intlu-
ence caused Ferry, to the astonishment Of
Gambetta's old friends, to be named his
successor. When he entered office he gave
his old friend Meline the portfolio of agri-
culture He presided over the chamber of
deputies when Floquet was at the min
istry of the interior as premier. The cleo
tion for the speakership in 1888 was a tie,
Brisson and Meline having the same num-
ber of votes But it was decided in Mel
ines favor, because he was few months
the senior of Brisson, who was, besides,
out of favor.
The Republican candidates having been
beaten at the first ballot at the general
elections of 1885, Meline remained presi-
dent of the chamber until the general
elections of Constans in 1889. NJ. Meline is
the recognized leader of the Protectionist
party, and has also been very fortunate in
holding on to his large following of farm
ers. Then, too he is one of the few French
politicians to whom no scandal attaches.

Free Wool and Free silver.

During the many weary months after
the Wilson-Gorman tariff had given the
death blow TO the wool industry free
trade Journals assured their readers that
the blow would not be fatal. In time the
industry would revive. Considera bic pru-
dence was manifested as to dates, but the
prediction was confident that in the
cover from it's paralysis. The Philadel-
phia Record was one of the most san
guine of these free traders. That journal
Simply knew that its theories could not
be wrong. Free wool must and would
enable our manufacturers to recover the
home market for wooden goods and grad
ually get good hold the markets
ord threw up the sponge. 1t admits that
free wool is not strong enough to carry
free silver. The confidence with which
it attributes the failure of its free wool
theory to some other persons free silver
theory would, if transferred to the money
trade times. Says the Record:
