Tho French situation.

In commenting on the development Of
the conspiracy of the orleanlsts to
overthrow the French republic, the In
telligencer yesterday stated that 1t was
fortunate in France having Loubet in
the presidency. because he is man of
the people, and is a sincere friend Of
the republic. and is safe enough to con-
troll the alarming situation. More than
that the French army Is in good con-
dition and well disciplined. and the peo-
pie are loyal to 1t. This is true. 1t
seems to be the general sentiment that
Loubet will be sustained In the suppress
sion of the conspiracy. One point is
that the French republic is in luck in
having the administration 1t has. The
elimination Of affairs on Saturday was
but the development of feeble case Of
treason OF the RoyalIst variety. but 1t
calls for prompt action.
'If France Is sound ut heart" says
a contemporary in the east, and posi-
bly, 1t is, for Deroulede's plot Is only a
carlcature OF that OF Boulahger' AL

public. For Unanimously and heroic

ground OF human folly and wIckedness

the fine old nobleman-Loubet, presi-
dent; Galllfet. minister of war"
There Is a great deal Of truth In this
The eyes of the civilized world are on
France just at present. What may
appear to be a very grave situation now
may prove a blessing in the end. We
repeat what we have heretofore said on
this subject; There Is hope for France
In two ways-the vindlcation Of Dreyfus

Chicago, Post: Sometimes a credit
man goes all wrong-but not often. A
country merchant came up from In
diana with written list of the things
he wanted. He said he was new to the
business, but he meant to have part
ner who was wise. After. he had picked
out goods to the amount Of 5000 he was
introduced to the credit man. and he
looked so uncouth and inefficient that
the credit man wondered how good
clerks had been wasting their time on
him.
What terms do you want, Mr.. -"
He stopped and the visitor supplied the
name.

ways pay after harvest"
But harvest is past. You don't mean
next harvest-In 19OO-do you?"
well, that's when my people will pay

"oh, we couldn't do that. Ninety days
Is the very best could give you And
even at that he wanted to know great
many things about his Visitors pros
"Hsw much or II pay all in sixty
days?"
The credit man quoted the terms.
Glow much IN thirty"
A discount was mentioned.
"How much for cash?'
spot cash? Money down"
'Yes-currency."
1t was a wild question. The credit
man knew he had no chance to get
s., goo out OF that man, and he quoted
beautiful discount.

tryman's rejoinder. And out from the

Runners OF Irish Courts.

Many good stories are also told in le-
gal circles In ireland of encounters be-
tween lawyers and judges in court.
John PhIlpot Curran, In the early days
of his struggles at the bar. appeared in
case before Mr.. Justice Robinson, the
author Of several law-books, and. In
combating some opinion of his oppo-
ncnt, said that he had consulted all his
law-books. and could not find single
case In which the principle commended
for was established. II suspect, sir"
said the Judge, that you law library is
rather limited" ut Is very true, my
lord, that owing to my circumstances
my library Is rather small" replied
Curran. "But have prepared myself
for this high profession rather by the
study Of a few good law-books than
by the composition Of great many bad
ones" On another occasion, before
Lord Chancellor Glare. he laid down
some points OF law which did not find
favor in the mind Of the Judge. III
that be law, I may as well burn my
books" said Lord Glare. Better read
them, my lord" replied Curran.
Some years ago the county court
Judge of Glare was Mr.. William Ma
jor, who was not liked by a popular
Ennis solicitor named Greene. In an
action between neighborinE farmers,
tried at Quarter Sessions, for damages
for the loss OF sheep. which had been
killed by a dog, Greene, who appeared
for the plaintiff. thus examined his
client: What sort is defendants dog
that killed your sheep? Is he bulldog
or terrIer?" HE Ia a brown terrier,
SIR" els ne wicked?" "Troth, ne is.
sIr-wicked and bad enough" He Is
snarlInE cur, suppose, and shows his
teeth when he cannot bIte?" you may
say that, SIR" Now, tell me, O'Brien,
what's the dogs name?" added Greene.
Here the witness scratched his head.
and hesitated TO answer. Don't be de-
laying the court. SIR" cried the Judge.
oh then, your honor, as must tell
It," replied the witness, hes q name
sake OF your own. for his name Is Ma
jor." This palpable hit at the bench. to
which Greene had adroltly led up. con-
vulsed the court with aughter.-Cham-

Tho Railroad Deal.

The announcement elsewhere this
morning that the Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railway Company has taken
charge OF the newly acquired Cleveland,
Canton & Southern lines. is OF no small
local Importance. Hereafter the two
lines will be operated as one system,
with the offices at Cleveland. 1t had
been hoped that Wheeling would Sc
cure the offices of the company, but 1t
seemed wiser in the minds of the man
aRement to give the plum to Cleveland,
and we must make the best OF 1t,
The Intelligencer is glad to note that
one Of the most important appointments
IN connection with the deal is that of
Mr.. ]. F, Townsend, formerly Of Wheel
ing. as general passenger and freight
agent. His competency and brightness
as railroad man is recognized every
where, and his high standing is most
gratifying to his many Wheeling
friends.
1t goes without saying that the new
arrangement will be Of great convent
ence and benefit to passengers and
freight shippers. Through trains Will
run out and into Wheeling between here
and Toledo. That is one decided i'm
provement.

Deafness is caused by an infamed

Intiamed you have rumblIng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when II Is en-

and unless the Inflammation can be ia

new argument for Hawaiian annexation

also a fact that there has been an
effort on the part Of Japan TO model its

and It is an established certainty that
the JapS prefer American goods. for
statistics Of our export trade to Japan
show a heavy increase.
It was not until 1854. just forty-fve
years ago, that Japan was known to the
outside world. and 1t was through an
American naval commanders action.
Commodore Perry sailed with American
warshlps into Japanese waters, and.
although Japan never had communlca-
ton with other nations. she has been
ever since copying our civilization. 1t

emperor came through a revolution;

believed that her leading men viii be
competent to maintain the responsible

The Chicago Times-Herald notes
briefly that the trade of the United
States with Japan has increased great

from Hayseed county, and was for the

elected because he was poor and honest

that was the pledge before be struck the
'herce-llght' atmosphere. He had been
engaged In his arduous labors Of states

far he was the only member who had
not been dined and wtned and honored
by those with an object in view. Hon.
Reuben saw what a fine time his fellow
members were having, and he bravely
brnced himself against the temptation
that he knew must come. AT the same
time he thought people might at least
be polite to him. He was only n man.
after all, and though honest above all
things. he liked good thing when he
could get 1t.
AT last the temptation came. and one
evening noted lobbyist invited the
member from Hayseed to dinner such
as he had never sat down 10 before.
The vlands were q vision, and the
champagne was something SO far ahead
