that the yellow journals contributed a

The attack on the President Of
France by a mob composed of gentle
men" seems TO have been a new mani
festation, at least to the outside world.
II appears that the much discouraged
cause OF the Royalists has all along
looked TO the Dreyfus agitation for
hope and in measure the coming of
man on horseback" appealed alike to
the masses and the classes. though
these two extremes of the population
ordinarily have little in common. Pres
ident Loubet. as a representative neith-
er of the popular mob nor of the royal
mob. but oc the solid. conservative ev-
cry day business sense of France thus
finds himself set upon i'm the gay capi-
tai whenever he takes any important
step. When he dared 10 do what hi,
predecessor Faure had not the courage
TO do, that is sanction the proceedings
looking to an orderly and lawful con-
sideration Of the Dreyfus case. he
aroused the violent antagonism OF the
crowd that until recently has regarded
Paul Deroulede as a new Joan of
Arc And when he took steps TO re-
strain the natural acclaim OF Major
Marchand from running into a revolu-
tionary movement, the gentry who
yearn for a ''man on horseback" To
lead them took offense. But there is
nothing In the latest manifestation OF
Parisian Mysteries to create much con-
cern. The general run of people not
only throughout France. but in Paris
itself, appears TO be more than recon
ciled to the Dreyfus situation. Indeed
II seems likely that Dreyfus will be
welcomed home with quite as much en-
thusiasm as he was driven out of
France. Paul Deroulede. about the
most absurd agitator that even Paris
has produced, has fallcn from grace
because the government has declined to
make a martyr Of him and, instead.
has left him to become the butt OF the
boulevard which ne previously swayed
as the boss bravo 1t was noticeable
that Rochefort and his crowd took no
part in the attack on the President at
the race course. which is the same a,
saying that rats desert a sinking ship.
AS for Major Marchand. he is altogeth.
ed too good a soldier 10 allow himself
TO be made the cats paw Of lot OF
gentlemen with tinsel titles. like Anna
Gould's husband for instance So the
newest riot seems 10 have been import
ant only because IL made the Royalists
show their hand and illustrates what
a feeble factor they are and, incident
ally. developed an assortment OF bloody
noses. black eyes and cracked skulls
among the titled personages.
