HAMLET AND FAURE.

The attack of a would-be assassin on
President FauTe, of France, recalls
very vividly an incident which occurred
since. The occasion of it was the
presentation of Hamlet" All who
are familiar with the tragedy will re-
member the graveyard scene where
Hamlet asks the grave-digger: How
long will man lie in the earth ere
he rot?'' The grave-digger answers:
"If he be not rotten before he die, he
will last you some eight or nine
years; a tanner will last you nine
years" The French translators of
Shakespeare render the answer: "a
corpse may last from three to eight
years; a tanner will last you seven
years" Shakespeares nine" was
made into a French seven merely to
complete an Alexandrine line. But
this change has now been given a po-
litical significance. President Faure is
by trade a tanner, and the term for
which he is elected is seven years.
Yet NJ. Faure has many adversaries
who think that seven years is much too
long term for him. Now it appears
the managers of the theatre were ap-
prehensive lest the passage might give
rise to a demonstration. The matter
is said to have been discussed by the
managers; while it is asserted, says an
exchange, that Count Rochefort, the
most inveterate opponent of the pres
ent administration, asserts that a
meeting Of the French cabinet was
called and that Premier Meline was
only prevented by his colleague Of the
department of public education, who
knows something about prosody, from
changing sept (seven) into quatorze
Gourteen) Finally the resolution was
adopted for altering seven to Eight
years But they had made their reck-
oning without the actor. In the ex-
element of the play he forgot the
change of the text and pronounced the
fatal seven" It is useless to add that
an audible litter pervaded the audience
at the Theatre Francois. while the
knowing ones exchanged furtive
glances. The whole passage will be
omitted at the next performance of
Hamlet" and Felix Faure will be
spared another Shakespearean raillery
at his bourgeois profession.

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.


The executive committee of the
Sound money" Democrats of Illinois
have met and issued an address to
their fellow Democrats in other states
There is more fuss and fustian in it
than anything else, although it has
some distinguished names attached to
it, names that are honored by all Dem
ocrats.
It first declares that the late ma
tional convention entered upon it's
work by violating all party precedents
in the rejection of distinguished Dem
ocrat as its temporary presiding officer.
That charge is literally true 1t is like
wise literally true that the Democratic
national committee violated all party
precedents by insisting on presenting
to the. convention as its temporary
chairman, a distinguished Democrat
who was known to be very hostile to
the views and wishes of the great ma
jority Of the convention on the para
mount issue before it. The committee
deliberately invited rebuff, and got it.
That is ali there is to that first dec
laration of the sound money Demo-
Gratis
Because the convention refused to in
dorse the administration will scarcely
be considered a sufficient reason for
calling another convention. Some of
the soundest sound money papers of
the country, either Democratic or in
dependent Democratic, not only refus-
ed to indorse Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration so far as the Venezuelan Incl
dent was concerned, but censured him
in the severest terms, and were pleased
to say that he had out-jingoed the jim
goes. Among these papers were the
Boston Herald and the Springfield Re
publican; the World and Evening Post,
OF New York; the Baltimore Sun and
others. If the administration were to
be Endorsed at all it must be in toto.
The other counts are not worthy of
notice. We believe that the gentlemen
who signed this address are absolutely
wrong when they say that the tariff
issue will be put to the front and in
sisted upon. No doubt Major McKin-
icy WouIu De SIdo 10 nave IL put 10 the
front, but it cannot be The financial
question is the paramount issue, and
this fact will be made palmer and
palmer each day. Even these sound
money" Democrats of Illinois want an
other convention because this question
is the issue and the declaration of the
Democratic national convention on it
is not acceptable to them.
There may be a convention of sound
money Democrats and they may put
ticket in the field, still we cannot but
doubt it.

n. FAuRE,s LIFE ATTEMPTED.

A little more than two years ago Ut
was June "a, 1S94) the whole world was
startled and Mortified at the announce
ment that President Sadi-Carnot had
been assassinated at Lyons by an
Italian anarchist. Now comes the an
nouncement that an attempt has been
made upon the life of President Felix
Faure while attending review Of
troops in the Champ de Mars, near
Paris. Fortunately, he was not in
jured. The would-be assassin declares
that he only fired blank cart
ridge: but neither the people OF
France nor the world will believe
his statement. The event served to
show how popular NJ. Faure is with
his people, and it viii serve to make
him more popular; in fact, it will nave
tendency to make him their idol.
All the circumstances connected
with the incident were so dramatic.
The review of troops in the Champ de
Mars by the president of the republic
on a national holiday, the day that is
celebrated because it is the anniversary
of the demolition of the bastile, is
great event. Troops from all the de-
partments are present. All Paris turns
out upon the occasion. On that day
in the reviewing stand may be seen
the great men of France, while in the
grand procession as it moves along
may be seen, in their brilliant uni
forms, all the military attaches of the
foreign embassies in Paris. On that
day all the beauty and fashion OF
Paris, radiant and smiling, may be
seen at the Champ de Mars. The
would-be assassin of President Faure
could not have selected a day in all
the year nor a place in all France
when and where the incident would
have been more dramatic. No doupt
he realized this and chose the time
and place in consequence. 1t was the
merest chance in the world that very
dramatic incident did not become a
very tragic one. 1t will throw around
NJ Faure the glamour of romance and
that will appeal to the French people
as nothing else. Francois attempted
assassination enshrines NJ. Faure in
the hearts of the French people.

TALK OF A BOND ISSUE.

Once more the gold reserve has fallen
below the one hundred million dollar
mark, and there is some talk of another
bond issue The talk is not by the
treasury officers, but by Washington
correspondents, who are pretty keen to
scent anything in the air around the
departments. A bond issue may or may
not be on the administration pro-
gramme. If Mr.. Cleveland deems it nee
essary, Mr.. Carlisle will make it; of
that at least there is no doubt If it
comes it is more likely that the gold
men will charge it to the fact that the
Democratic party in its national plat
form made the free coinage of silver
the first plank. If this charge is made,
how will the other bond issues be ex-
planned? When they were made the
Democratic party had made no declara-
ton on the silver question, while some
of the leading papers of the. country
were urging that Mr.. Cleveland be
made the party candidate, and every
would make some announcement of his
position regarding a third term. Mr.
Cleveland himself declared the cause
of the financial trouble which necessi-
tated bond issues as the greenbacks
which he described as an endless chain.
If gold is being drawn from the treas
ury today it is because the same causes
are in operation that necessitated, in the
presidents opinion, the former bond
issues. If the Democratic campaign
in favor of free silver were the cause,
then it would operate upon the banks
the same as upon the treasury. This
it is not doing.
! If there should be another bond issue
what is the amount likely to be? VIII
it be popular or syndicate loan, and
would the bonds bring as high a price
as the last ones? If the silver cam
paign is really injuring the govern
ments credit (Which, of course, it is
not and it is ridiculous to say that
it is) then it will not be an easy matter
to float a new loan and it cannot be
done at the same figures the last one

A BRILLIANT TRIBUTE TO BRYAN.

The Washington Post pays a most
brilliant and beautiful tribute to Mr..
Bryan. Whoever the writer of the
article was he caught a spark of gen
Jus from Bryan's own genius Nowhere
have we seen anything to approach,
much less equal it. The fact that the
Post is a Republican paper and OBJ
posed to free silver makes this tribute
all the more noteworthy. Here are
some extracts from it:
ION Thursday afternoon, at time
when Bland seemed TO be the leader in
the race, when Boies was a laborious
second, and when Mclean, brainiest
and most conservative of them all. was
enacting the role of the dark and dan
gerous horse, this young man Bryan sud
denly appeared, tall, shapely, hand
some as a Greek demigod,, classic in
outline. imprisoned of address, thrill
ling with his tremendous message to
the people-appeared like a fairy upon
a dull and lifeless stage, and in one
moment threw 10000 human beings
into a fever of indescribable exaltation.
He called back from the vanished past
the witchery of Orpheus. the magic Of
Demosthene the irresistible forces of
the great Napoleon. He stood there,
and with dozen fiery phrases he con-
verted thoughtful men into fanatics;
he changed them as utterly as the wiz
ard changes the toys he plays with on
the stage In all the annals of politics
there was never such scene. ; The
country at large knows little of this
extraordinary young man. He has
been in Congress. He delivered a
speech upon the tariff that enchanted
and enchanted the House. He has
spoken many times since with reference
to the tariff, and always he has held
his audience as the sirens held the fated
crew that sailed with Ulysses from the
shores Of Troy. He is a minstrel, a

form of grace, a thing Of beauty. What
he IS beyond that, who knows?
'He has no record in craftsmanship.
He was too young to assert his patriot
ism thirty-five years ago. What schemes
of government, what social theories oc-
cupy bis brain, no human being can
disclose He is young, he is ardent,
he is ambitious, he is gifted with the
power to sway mems minds, he is
born leader, an attractive figure on the
stage, and that is all we know. Whether
the American people, after four months
of solemn elaboration, will confide their
destinies to his un$ried hands, we do
not undertake to prophesy. What we
do know is that William Jennings Bry-
an is the most dramatic product OF our
national politics, the most sensational
and. picturesque creation of our age.

NO M'KINhEY SCHEDULES.

When the Republican party at st.
Louis adopted a platform of principles
it was very particular to state in the
tariff plank that it was not pledged
to any schedules. This, of course, was
for the very purpose of forestalling
any charges that might be made that
the party was pledged to the restora-
ton of the Mckinley tariff This was
no doubt a wise thing for it to do, and
now this fact is being cited as evidence
that the party is not for the re-enact-
ment of the Mckinley law. In a re-
cent issue the Chicago Times Herald
said:
There is nothing in the platform
adopted at st. Louis to indicate that
the election of Major Mckinley means
the re-enactment of the tariff law of
1890. There is nothing in Major Nc
Kinley's recent speeches or in his letter
of acceptance favoring the restoration
of the schedules contained in the act
bearing his name
1t should be remembered that the
Times Herald is McKinley's organ in
Chicago, and that what it says on the
tariff may be looked upon as ex ca
thedra, so far as the Republican can
didate is concerned. But why all this
anxiety to disavow the tariff act of
1890? 1t is a tacit recognition of the
fact that that act never was popular
with the people, and an indication Of
a fear that its Reputation in 1892 will
very strongly suggest the reputation
of its author in 1896. But to see a Nc
Kinley organ practically repudiating
the Mckinley tariff law is a sight to
make gods and men laugh.
