"A Suggestion.

One reason why there is some hesitation
about using vitrihed brick as a paving
material on South Broad street is that
there is very little known in this city con-
corning brick pavements. In view of the
probability that no paving will be done
on South Broad street before next fall,
would it not be advisable to put down a
small section of brick pavement at once
in order that the people may see what it
looks like, and be able to compare it with
asphalt?
How would It do to pave with brick the
section Of Abercorn street between South
Broad and Liberty. or that piece of Nc
Donough street from Dryton to Abercorn?
If we are not mistaken, it is the intention
of the city authorities to pave these two
sections of streets at the time they pave
South Broad street. One of them could
be paved now just as well as later on,
and it would make no difference IL it
should be decided finally to pave South
Broad street with asphalt.
1t would cost very little to pave the
Abercorn street section in connection with
the sidewalk improvement that is to be
made there, and the pavement would give
the people an opportunity of judging
whether or not they would like to have
a brick pavement on South Broad and
other streets. 1t costs so much less to
keep a brick pavement in repair than it
does asphalt. and the cost of taking it
UP to get at water and gas pipes is so
much less, that the city authorities ought
to be well satisfied that it would not prove
satisfactory before rejecting it. 1t may
be just the thing we want in this city.

The opinion is held in European capi-
tails that the present ministerial crisis in
France is far more serious than any one
that has preceded it for a long time The
Paris CORES Ondent Of one Of the leading
London papers predicts. according 10 our
dispatches. that II is the beginning Of a
revolutionary period, which may not end
until the demand OF the socialists for a
new constitution is complied with.
The present constitution appears TO be
so constructed as to make Il an easy mat
ter 10 bring about a ministerial crisis. and
when "a ministry IS forced to resign it is
a rather difficult matter to form a new
ministry that is acceptable 10 both the
Senate and the Chamber Of Deputies. For
instance the Bourgeois ministry that has
just been forced TO resign. was not salts
factory to the Senate, although it met
the approval of the Chamber of Deputies.
The Senate demanded its resignation,
which demand was refused on the ground
that the Senate alone had no constitu-
tional right to force the resignation Of a
ministry. The Senate insisted on its right
20 have its demand complied with, and in
order TO compel compliance it refused to
vote supplies for the French army in
Madagascar. The supplies were impera-
lively necessary, and, consequently, the
ministry had to resign. After its resig-
nation the supplies were granted.
But how is it possible to form a new
ministry that viii be acceptable to both
the Senate and the Chamber Of Deputies?
The difference between the Chamber and
the Senate, which forced the ministers out
of Office, relates TO the proposed income
tax. The Chamber favors the tax and
the Senate is against it. The Bourgeois
approved the tax. thus being in harmony
with the deputies.
President Faure has suggested a coali-
ton ministry, but such a ministry would
not satisfy either side. and, therefore,
would be short-lived, in all probability
1t really looks as If France, before she
can have a stable government, would
have to have a new constitution. or at
least have the present one so amended
that it would not be possible for a faction
to force the ministry out of power when
ever it took a notion to do So Too fire.
quent changes of the ministry are not
likely to have a good effect. Their ten
dency is to lessen respect for the govern
