THE FRENCH PRESIDENTS TROU-
HIES

The attack which was made on Prss-
dent Logbet az the Auaell races. and
the complications growing out OF il, are
among the least Of his troubles. II he
follows 90 lts logical conclusion the decis-
ION OF the Court OF Cessation in the Drey-
fus case he VIII have a stormy iime dur
ing the rest Of his term Of Office. It looks
as IL ne would have hard time to ind a
man who IS able 20 form new ministry.
81. Po.ncare, who has undertaken the
task. doesn't seem 70 he meeting with any
success. and if he should succeed there
is no assurance that his ministry would
remain in Office cong. The Dupuy ministry
resigned. not because az the disturbances
at the races ami the subsequent proceed
ings against the rioters, but because Of
the lack Of confidence in NJ. Dupuy in
connection with the Dreyfus case. He
was at the head OF the cabinet when
Dreyfus was convicted, and il was not
believed that he was the man to be at the
head OF it now that it is almost certain
that Dneyfus will be acquitted Of the
charges upon which he has been so severe
ly punished The understanding seems to be
that the French people win demand the
punishment of the politicians and army Of
1cers who We're concerned in having Drey-
fus convicted. and if they do, and Presi-
dent Loubet undertakes to carry out their
will there will be some lively scenes at
the French capital
And that is one of the reasons why Il IS
so difficult at this time TO form new
ministry of men of prominence. Many of
the leading statesmen and politicians
were concerned in one way and another
in the conviction of Dreyfus, and if they
were not directly concerned in it, they
are the friends of those who were. They
are not anxious therefore to occupy a
position in which they may have 10 assist
in the prosecution of these men. Besides,
the population of Paris IS tickle. and it
may boot tomorrow the men it applauds
to-day The Dreyfus case is by no means
ended yet, and no one can forsee what
troubles, il any, are likely to grow out OF
it. If the army officers and public men
who were instrumental in having Dreyfus
convicted should he put on trial there
would likely be stormy times Naturally
therefore there is much hesitation on the
part of those invited to become a part OF
a new ministry 20 accept the invitation.

THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY.

The famous lakes of Killarney and
Muckross Castle are for sale, cheap. The
properties have for years belonged to The
Herbert estate Under the new land laws
of ireland the many small farmers who
rented farms from that estate have been
able to purchase them with money lent
by the government The outcome is that
the entire arabic and fertile part of the
old estate is now in the hands of small
farmers. This has left the picturesque
but unremunerative portion of the prop
erty, including The lakes and the castle,
in such Improbable shape that they are
offered for sale.
The Lakes of Killarney, among the most
beautiful in the world, are made famous
in the poetry and legend of ireland. The
lakes, of which there are three, are sur
rounded by tail and verdant mountains,
and are studded with richly wooded
islands On one of the islands, the largest
of the group, is situated Ross Castle. the
stronghold of the O'Donohues. Another
island is the sweet Innisfallen" of
Moores song, and on this is the pictur-
esque ruin of abbey founded by St.
Finian the leper in the sixth century.
Midway a winding stream of two and a
half miles which connects two of the
lakes is the famous echo caused by a
lofty rock called the Eagles Nest. Be
tween the lower and middle lakes is the
fine ruin of Muckross abbey, founded by
the Franciscans in 1440. A popularity of
the scenery is the luxuriant growth of
arbutuses on the islands, which add such
richness and color to The general effect
There is hardly spot about either of the
lakes, or anywhere around them, that has

with the beautiful scenery.

beauty-spot of their mother country viii

who viii close it to the public as Mr..
Astor did Cliveden and as Mr.. Carnegie
has done his Scotch estate and castle;
therefore they have started a movement
to purchase the lakes and the old castle
by a popular subscription among Irish

Irish park" Mr.. Roche, member of Par
lament for Kerry, is said to have an OPP
ton on the property for about $50, 0O0

CURRENT COMMENT.

OF the reported assassination of Gen.
Luna in AgunaldO's camp, the Washing
ton Star Ond.) says: The dispatch may
prove to be untrue yet Is believable until
il Is effectively discounted. II is in ac-
cord with the circumstances understood to
exist. While deploring the spectacle of as
sassination which it presents it is TO be
hoped sIhat The insurgents ore in the dis
organized condition suggested by this Incl
dent To-day's account of the fighting
south of Manila shows that the army I'M
der Gen. Lawton is having very hard
time diSsOdg1ng the rebels. The hot wealth
err is telling upon the troops aud they are
finding the way through the isthmuS be-
tween The bay and the lagoon exceedingly
difficult 10 clear. The news of so tragical
a disscnsion at the insur2ent headquarters
can not fail 10 nerve them to greater eff
foris and 10 dispirit the native troops"
1t seems that some of the country peo-
pie of Illinois are opposed to rural free
delivery of mails. The Chicago Chronicle
(Dem) says: ITO establish the system of
rural delivery of the mails-as the mails
are delivered in cities-would involve the
abolition of the postoff1ceS; the postmaster
would become an extinct functionary; the
exchange and clearing house of country
politics, news. trade and social amenities
would be a thing of the past-an obsolete
feature of our civilization a mere shade
and a memory. 1t is no wonder that the
practical well as the sentimental hos
tility of che rural population is arrayed
against the postal reform known as rural
delivery"
The Chicago Record tInd) pays a high
tribute to the faithfulness. courage and
intelligent effort of Nine Dreyfus. Con-
Guiding il says: when the Dreyfus case
is finally placed on record as completed
the patient endurance and courage of this
woman win be recalled as one of the fine
historic instances of wifeiy devotion. Aside
from the debt of justice which France
owes to Dreyfus, IL owes something to his
Wife, both in reparation of her wrongs ana
in gratitude for the way in which she has
maintained The standard of womanly char
acter."
The Philadelphia Record CDem) says:
Admiral Dewey has suggested that. in
stead of buying a house for him with the
money subscribed by his enthusiastic adj
mirers for that purpose the fund should
be used in building a home for disabled
soldiers and sailors. This is what might
have been expected But the gallant ad-

Chinese territory is acquired by the sew
