THE 7 OF FRANCE.

A prophecies of more or less renown
in France has predicted the downfall of
the republic. In her opinion that coun-
try is to pass through a most trying
ordeal ncident to the corruption in it's
public life. 1t is a phase in history to
! which events most assuredly point. and
it requires no prophetic eye to foresee
that a crisis of some kind is approaching.
The leveling processes of the republic.
which stands for the equality of man, is
more than the aristocracy of that coun-
try can stand. To have a man from the
common walks of life, like Loubet, pre-
famous in history by the first Napoleon.
is a bitter pill for those who court the
gilded trappings of the empire.
To show their resentment of existing
conditions the aristocracy apparently
have no hesitation in initiating the meth
DDS of the mob, trusting to chance n
the excitable character of the people to
precipitate a crisis that nay create a
throne for some gifted hero of the hour
to sit upon. 1t is not improbable that the
Vaccinations of this class may finally
lead up to conditions that will make the
republic SO unpopular as to develop q
general demand for a monarchial form
of government.
Tn future of France is full of pOssi-
bilities, but among them does not rest
the hope that its past glory can be re-
vived. Like Spain it is on the down hill
road, and the middle of the next century
may find her broken and distracted. a
prey to the vultures that patiently await
her decline.

THE CLARK BABY INCIDENT.

The Inter Mountain has heretofore re-
Trained from editorial comment on the
| Clark baby incident, fearing that it might
precipitate another fierce conflict be-
tween the Clark and anti-Clark factions
Of the democracy in this state. There is
something abou the word Clark that
usually sets the wheels of our esteemed
morning contemporaries buzzing with
great velocity. and in the interests of
harmony We had decided that the Clark
baby of New York could get along with
out special reference in these olumns
But both the Standard and the Miner
have been unusually tame for some days,
and the danger of an eruption over the
Clark baby has apparently passed. The
Standard could not refer to it, Of course,
| without intimatlng that there was cor
i ruption behind it, while the Miner was
people had a great deal to do with 1t.
But. taking it altogether. the incident
was noted by the morning papers without
any special exhibition of heat. and with
out recommending the burning Of any
body in efiigy. Therefore the Inter Noun
tain may be pardoned for giving its
views relative to the Clark baby.
Since the days of Charlie Ross, who
was never found, but who may be wan
dering around the earth unconscious Of
his identity, baby stealing has been car
ried on with more or less success. In
some cases the children have been speed
lily recovered either through the vigilence
of the officers or the payment of rewards,
while in other cases they have been lost
to public view. The stealing Of Marion
Clark attracted special attention because
the sensational press of New York made
it a feature. Pages upon pages; of mat
! ter relating to the incident We're pub
lished, while special trains and detec-
tives. and other etceteras of modern
newspaper enterprise, were called into
requisition to supply the necessary
amount of sensational matter concerning
it. The people got excited and bought
the papers and advertised their push and
energy from Dan to Bersheba.
The baby was found, as it probably
would AVE Deer without all the hurrah
which put it's abductors on their guard
and nearly prevented it's recovery, and
then came a disgraceful quarrel among
the sensational newspapers as to which
one Of them was entitled to the credit of
having accomplished the feat. Having
manufactured a mountain out of a mole
hill, the yellow journals are now fighting
and ciawing Zach other over the distri-
button of the credit marks. Such news-
paper enterprise is becoming top-heavy,
and the day will speedily come when
type VIII be looked upon with suspicion,
and journalistic interference in the work
that properly belong to the officers Of
the law will be rebuked by a healthy pub
lie sentiment. Even now the charges are
made that the stealing of the Clark baby
was a Dut-up job. to make way for it,
sensational discovery and return to its
parents. Such accusations may do a
deep injustice to all concerned, but SEN
s~ational journalism is responsible for it

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE A DREAM.

Conditions IN Cuba give little immediate
hope of establishing a stable government
that Will Justify the withdrawal of Amer
lean sovereignty. Brigandage is on the
increase, and outlawry is likely to ripen
into another revolution. INSTRUMENTATION
seems to be a normal condition of the
sreaser, and his acquired taste for blood
and piunder will not readily yield to the
pursuits of peace
With the progress toward s~elf-govern-
ment now being made by the Cubans, that
elysian condition will be reached at so re-
mote a period in the sweet bye-and-bye
that the history of the Spanish-American
war Will have taken its place among the
doubtful legends of a past age. Were it
possible for these homogeneous elements
government of their own, the regular
senHl-annual revolution would doubtless
become it's most conspicuous feature.
From present indications it will be a
long time before the American republic
can redeem its pledges to the world and
give to Cuba a stable government of its
own. 1t Is among the possibilities of the
not Very remote future that the better
class of Cubans will ask for admission
INTO the sisterhood Of states as the only
course that can with safety be pursued.
