Death of President Faure.

The death. from apopleXy, Of Presi-
dent Faure. of France. last evening, Is
an event which is calculated to throw
the republic into all the horrors of
revolution
1t has been evident for some time
that the popularity of the president
was waning. not so much because the
French people have grown tired of the
republic, but because the executive,
who really sprang from the people, was
manifesting an aristocratic tendency
which was gradually carrying him out
of sympathy with the masses.
France has been undergoing an eX-
traOrdinary strain during almost the
entire period covered by his admins
tration. This was due to the original
Greyfus trial and the accumulation of
varying sentiments for and against the
army. The death of the president, at
this time when the verdict of the
court in the revision of the Dreyfus
case is an unknown quantity, may
prove q most unfortunate incident in
French history. The opportunists were
never more active and the web and the
wool which compose the basis of the
from serious rending than at the pres
ent moment.
The dead president was elected to
succeed NJ Casimir-P erier. whose short
term beginning June 81. 1894, after the
assassination of M. Sadi Carnot, June
"a of that year. was period of I'M
rest in France. The choice of
Faure Jan. 16, 1896, was re-
sarded with especial favor, in
that he was more distinctively a man
of the people than any of the modern
rulers of France. CasimirPerier was
uncomfortable in his place as presi-
dent. although he displayed his per-
sonal courage by walking in the funer-
al procession Immediately following
the hearse which bore the remains of
the murdered Carnot to his tomb.
Faure was chosen upon his merits as
man and as an ardent Sympathizer
with the cause of the republic. The
disturbances resulting from the Drey-
fuS episode being almost co-eXtensive
with his service as chief magistrate,
detracted somewhat from his original
popularity, in that he maintained what
seems from this side of the ocean a
too strict neutrality in all the proceed
ings OF the Dreyfus tragedy and a
lack of that personal manliness which
one might properly expect in an Of
fetal clothed with his power to enforce
justice. It must not be forgotten. how
ever, that French politics is quite I'M
like that of the United States, and the
fact may yet be established that the
cold conservatism which he has prac-
ticed from the beginning to the present
status of that unfortunate incident
may yet prove to have been of meal
cuiable benefit to the republic.
But the death. at this time, of Pres
ident Faure is. in the very nature Of
things. to be regretted. and it is to be
hoped that in view of his removal by
natural causes the fury of excitement
among the people will not be reused.

President MckinIey's Speech.

The speech of President Mckinley at
the Home Market Club banquet in
Boston last evening throws no new
light upon the position of the United
States government respecting the Phil
ippineS as a reflection of executive
utterance. 1t is made evident, how
ever, that the president has thrown the
entire responsibility of the future
disposition of the islands upon con-
gress, and withholds to himself only
the privilege of discharging the ordi-
nary duties of a clerk who shall do
the bidding of that body.
He apparently dwells In dreamland
and looks thence upon the future of
the archipelago, which he weaves into
a sort Of pleads of the South Pacific.
all spangled with brilliancy under the
touch of Western civilization.
