Demonstrations Against President
LOubct HnVc Censcd.

Demonstrations Against President
Loubct Have Ceased.
Paris, February 20.-The demonstrations
have entirely ceased, perhaps until after
the funeral of M. Faurc, but the aspect Is
altogether more hopeful and President
Loubet's seat seems permanent. He Is
credited with the declaration that he will
resist strongly any attempt at disturbances
and has re-affirmeG his intention to re-
tain the deputy cabinet, a step which tends
to remove the suspicion that he is Il
Dreyfusard. He has followed the custom
of giving holiday remission OF punishments
TO the army and navy, and has made do
nations to the poor.
The fiery Patrie Erancais has issued an
unexpectedly mild manifesto briefly ex-
pressing the wish that the new president
shall extricate himself from all compro-
missing connections and have a clear con-
sciencenesss of his duty toward the Faith
erland and tie army. The manifesto is
signed by M. Cavaignac, Cope Formin,
Jemaitre and others. The inference is
that the agitation against President Lou
bet is artificial and is already dying, both
in the streets and the newspapers.

passage, the army reorganization bill can
not pass with the present opposition to 1t,
and, on the other hand, that some of the
appropriations must go over II the senate
majority determine TO devote their ener-
giles to forcing the army bill through. In
any event, therefore, 1t looks like an extra
session.
The democrats in the senate are perfect
ly willing to shoulder their part OF the
responsibility for an extra session occa-
stoned by their opposition to this army
reorganization measure. Not only does the
bill championed by tho republicans provide
for permanently quadrupling the forces
composing the regular army before the
war with Spain, but 1t fails to make the
reforms in our military system which re-
cent experiences have dictated both to the
judgment and patriotism of the country
1t is in effect but an enlargement OF the
opportunities for the play and practice OF
"Algerism." The democrats are willing to
consent to an increase temporarily of the
army to meet and handle existing ext
gencies, but against the policy OF a
large and at the same time permanent
military establishment In this Republic.
they are ixedly arrayed.
II Mr. Mckinley Is ready on this Issue
to assume the responsibility of calling an
extra session of congress, with all Its cost
to the country and possible disturbance of
business, let him call 1t.
There is scarcely doubt that the next
congress will be thoroughly subservient
to the admlnistration--so far as Tom Reed
will allow in the house. Possibly the sat
lsfaction of getting all that the admins
tration could ask from the next congress-,
would more than reconcile Mr.. Mckinley
to any political capital that might be made
by the democrats out of the fact OF calling
an extra session. And when this new SEN
ate and house begin to bow down before
their administration idols and saddle the
Nation with new burdens the dear peo-
pie" can reflect that they are viewing the
results of their own work in the elections
of 1898 and have mono to blame but them
selves.
