John Bull would gladly get the United
States to put her hand in that Turk
ish blaze to rake out the Armenian
chestnuts that he finds too hot for his
fingers. Not any John. This coun-
try is not in it little bit when it
comes to intervening in European
affairs. Our Uncle Sam has n pet
theory called the Monroe doctrine that
resents the interference of Europe
in American affairs, and Sam is not
going TO repudiate his own policy by
any Intervention in the affairs of Eu-
rope.

The Popocrats are more alarmed
over Tom Watson's movements than
they are over Bryan's mouth. If a

Forman has entered the lists to car
ry the state of Illinois against Alt
geld, or at least to prevent the slick
anarchist of the Bryanite persuasion
from doing it. FOrman is in deadly
hostility to Altgeld on more than po-
litical grounds and he will make a
hot fight for glory. The victory is
to be a Republican one this year and
Tanner will leave Altgeld's hide on the
fence to dry.

The aftermath of that engine duel
at Waco is not pleasant to harvest.
1t matters not by whose act the death
and suffering came, it was not neces-

to the increasingly cruel tendencies
of this present age 1t is a sop
thrown to the CerBerus of destruct-
iveness. If it served any good end
life might be sacrificed therefor.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

France is passing through another Caoi-
net crisis. Time was, and that not so
long ago. when a French Cabinet crisis
was looked upon as very serious matter
and was pretty sure to excite fears OF
great political upheaval that might en-
danger republican institutions IN mat
country. Recently, however, the world
has learned to accept such incidents with
nerfect eouanirnity, IL not to consider them
safety valves. through which is expended
harmlessly an excitement that. denied
means Of escape, might cause a disastrous
explosion.
But. sooner or later, these crises must
result in a revision of the French Con-
stitution. The provision of that instru-
ment in respect to the responsibility OF
the Ministry to Parliament Is Impractical
BILE. 1t works one way to-day. and an
other Tomorrow. Twice during the last
few months the Senate passed a vote OF
want of confidence in the Ministry, and II
was claimed that under the letter Of the
Constitution, which makes the Ministers
as much accountable to the Senate as TO
the Chamber OF Deputies these No'es
called for the resignation Of the Ministry.
But on each occasion the Chamber took
issue with the upper body, and voted con-
adence in the Ministers, and the latter
holding that they were accountable only
10 the two houses Jointly, remained IN
power. This was a clear victory for the
Radicals in the Chamber, and for Premier
bourgeois, but now turn has been reach
ed In the lane The Senate. biding Its
time. so to speak, has refused TO vote
the money necessary to maintain the
French troops in Madagascar until
ministry shall have been formed tha'
will have its confidence. and there was
nothing left for Bourgeois and his con-
freres to do but step down and out.
