Riots IN Paris.

Three hundred and eighty injured, three
hundred and sixty taken to hospitals,
ffty-nine police wounded ,one hundr, d and
fifty arrested, this was the record in Paris
Sunday. In Paris there is always COM
bustible material, and anarchy and atheism
go hand in hand A Partisan mob rever-
ences neither church nor God, and the
holier the object the more it burns to
stretch out Its destroying and polluting
hand. The entire Christian world reads
with shudder of the rillage and sacrilege
OF last Sunday. Here is short account Of
an attack on one of the churches which
shows to what lengbt, Partisan mob will
go.
Hatchets were suddenly produced
with long knives stolen from the counters
Of shops, and concerted rush was made
upon the church of St. Joseph.
The aged sacristars, seeing the mob.
hastily closed the outer gates, but these
were soon forced with hatchets ard bars Of
iron. The massive oaken doors were then
attacked.
Affairs, fonts and statues were hurled to
the floor and smashed, pictures we're rent
candle sticks, ornaments and hosts from
high affairs were thrown and trampled un-
der foot. The cruciix above was made a
target for missiles and the figure Of the
Savior was fractured in several places.
Then, while raucous voices sang the
"Carmagnole" the chairs we're carried out
side, piled up and set on fire in the centre
of the square fronting the church.
When this stage was reached the cruci.
fix was pulled down and thrown into the
flames. Suddenly cry was raised that
the statue OF the virgin had been forgotten,
and the crowd returned and tore this dowr
also.

ries of attacks on Ex Gov. Carroll S.Page,
which judged by any fair standard, are dis
creditable. The object seems to be to IN
jure Gov. Pages political chances by hold

the efforts so far have been lamentable
failures. The editorial Philippics have
lacked both point and sense, and have not
even had the redeeming feature of being
funny. The Montpelier Argus and Patriot
hits the rail fairly on the head when it says.
1.-The Rutland Herald makes big mistake
if it believes that the people of Vermont
will not resent its efforts to traduce the
character Of Ex Gov. Page. The people
know that he was never the tool of any

executive cffice was above reproach ;he wa,

Mrs. Mary Lease of Nebraska fame was
the attraction at Lake Pleasant Sunday.
She was interviewed by reporter Satur-
day and stated that she is planning to
stump the country next year to help beat
Bryan. He is pretty sure to be nominated,
she says, but he cannot possibly be elected.
He has always been follower and never a
leader, and his cowardly compromises to
meet the views of the ignorant will be as
ineffective as was Ingalls, death-bed speech
in the Senate in behalf Of populism. Bry-
an has made fatal mistake, she says, in
insisting on silver as the leading issue.
Another mistake is his response to popular
predjudices against the trusts.

JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG.

John Russell Young, news of
whose death is exclusively an
nounced in the BULLETIN, was a
marked example of the "self made"
Americans in the field of litera-
ture. After getting the pielimi-
nary education of the common
schools, Young stated out in the
school of the world as copy boy
on a Philadelphia daily. He
worked his way up the various
rounds of the repottorial ladder un.
til 1861, when j. Forney appointed
Secretary of the United States
Senate. took him to Washington
as private secretary. He kept up
his newspaper writing and made
his first hit as a war correepon-
dent by his graphic description Of
the battle of Bull Run. After the
war, he was managing editor Of
the Philadelphia Press and later
the New York Tribune. During
Grants administration he was
sent abroad to study financial
matters for the government, and
accom- panied Grant in his tour
around the world. President Ar
thur appointed him United States
Minister to China, and when
Cleveland displaced him, Young
devoted himself to private literary
work until Mckinley called him
TO take charge Of the Congression-
al library.
The marked ability shown by
Mr.. Young in installing the new
Congressional library is the work
by which he is most widely known
and will give him a prominent
place in history. His whole career
is an evidence that push, tact and
principle can surmount the diff.
culties which a lack of college
education and training present to
ambitious young men.

A WAR SCANDAL.

The controversy between Gen
eral Miles and Commissary Gen
eral Eagan bids fair to lead to a
thorough airing of the ms aud outs
of the commissary department
work during the late war. Eagsn
in his frat statement before the
investigating commission called
Miles blsckguard and a liar for
intinatipg that the supplies fur
nished by Eagsn's department
were other than first class in every
respect.
AS the commissary department
is usually the center of corruption,
il corruption exists, in army life
it is not surprising that the Com
missary General should consider
the differences made by the com
manding general as decidedly Sc
rious. Eagan, however, has lost
what public sympathy he might
have by the fierce and improper
character of his defense which is
practically a return attack. He
has overstepped all the bounds re.
cognized in the term "a gentle
man aud soldier" and evidently
considers that the reputation OF
the GAINED corned beef producers
of the United States is of more
value than his standing in the
United States army. A scandal
of no small importance is set or
foot at all events. Either Eagar
will be proved culpably incompe,
tent or General Miles will stand
before the public as a man who
uses his official position to satisfy
personal spite.
