THE STABILITY OF FRANCE.

c o many and so sensational are the disturbances
and. excitement that emanate from Paris con-
- siderable portion of the world has come to the
conclusion that everything in France is in cond-
ton OF Unstable equilibrium and that a revolution
may occur at any time Such opinions are not shared
by intelligent who have closely studied the coun-
try and the people. According their testimony the
French despite the strength Of the military caste are
essentially democratic people and their institutions
are about stable as those OF any in Europe
The popular control OF government in France is
by no means so slight or so uncertain as would ap-
pear from the frequency with which Ministries are
changed in response clamors on the Partisan boue
wards James B. Eustis, who was Minister to France
under Cevelands administration has in a recent ar
ticle in the Conservative Review expressed high
opinion OF the attachment OF the people generally to
democratic ideas and OF their power in directing legs
lation along democratic lines. He says: "All the
laws enacted by the French Assembly are in the in
terest OF the OF the people, and not in the in
terest OF any class. In the contest between the
power OF money and the rights OF the people the
brutal influence of wealth is unknown in the politics
OF France. No class interests can claim TO
exercise any influence over any department of the
Government of the French republic. AS the revolu-
tonists of 1898 destroyed the artocracy which sprung
from the nobility of birth the French republicans of
to-day will not permit the wealth OF class to con-
tIol the economic policy OF their Government but
rather the contrary, for is the common-the work

c OMETHING of a novel principle in copyright
law has recently been established by the High
- Court of Justice in Great Britain in a case to
which the London Times and Lord Rosebery were
parties 1t appears that in preparing volume OF his
Speeches and Appropriations" Rosebery included FIVE
speeches taken almost verbatim from the reports in
the Times, and the newspaper at once brought suit
to restrain the publication the ground that its re-
ports of the speeches copyrighted and the pub
LEGATION would be infringement OF its rights.
The court decided for the newspaper and granted
injunction against the publisher. AS the decision
means that may copyright the speeches Of
another and thus prevent the speaker from repubish
deal OF discussion. The ground upon which the de-
cision was based is that there is no such thing as
copyright OF ideas; it is all matter OF literary form
The reporter gave the speeches the written form, and
hence he is entitled to the exclusive control OF that
form Lord Rosebery gave his words and thoughts to
the public large II he had written them out in the
beginning and had copyrighted them before speaking
them he could have retained possession Failing TO
do this, the reporter entitled to become the ex
elusive owner OF his version OF the speech.
Under this decision appears that if an orator IN
Great Britain desires TO retain any property in his
speeches he must take out lecturers copyright,
otherwise his ideas will belong to the reporter who
first translates them from spoken to written language
and copyrights them The decision is good law and
is unquesonaby Just but at the same time its novelty
renders it rather startling The doctrine that
orator has rights to his own ideas until he has
copyrighted them will have a tendency to increase
the revenues OF the copyright Office by considerable
percentage.

Why the Naval Parade Was Success


Speaking of the bay parade on Thurs
day an Oaklander familiar with such
things said: "Too much credit cannot be
given Commodore Spreckels for the sue
cess of the affair. L never saw so many
steam and sailing vessels in bunch be-
fore. There was no confusion, no hit mes
of vessel of any kind knew exactly his
place and he kept out of every other feI-
lows place. The line was formed with
much discretion and the picture mace
was magnificent. Commodore, Spreckels;
in regulation uniform, from the deck OF
the Fearless, directed things with two
small launches and proved himself mas
ter Of such work. Just think Of ten thou
sand people on the bay with the lnnumer-
able craft to carry them and not even a
hat fell overheard or a single vessels
paint scratched. The line moved just
when everybody expected it would and no
one felt uneasy or alarmed in any way.
If everybody who has anything to do With With
the soldiers reception does as well or halr
as well as John D. Spreckels the event
will be long remembered.

THE COLUMBIA AND THE SHAMROCK.

Y YACHTING experts in New York are by
Y means sanguine that in the contest between the
l Columbia and the Shamrock to have
ANYTHING extraordinary in the way OF a record
breaking race 1t is pointed out that in the trials be-
tween them the Columbia has not shown herself
much superior to the Defender while the fact that the
Britannia was beaten by the Meteor almost as badly
as by the Shamrock ncnes the belief that the new
challenger is by 10 means such a notable improvement
on former British models OF racing yachts as has been
reported
Since the Shamrock has been studied in New York
the trust OF Americans in the success OF the Columbia
has been increased considerable number OF yachts
men have declared they do not regard her as dan
perous rival and express mistaken confidence in the
ability OF the home yacht retain the famous cup
this side of the water; but there some authori-
ties who hold that Sir Thomas Upton has chance TO
win under certain conditions OF wind and sea, mas
much as his boat will have considerable advantage in
heavy weather.
In an elaborate comparison OF the two yachts a
writer for the New York Tribune says: The Sham
rock has more freeboard sits higher OF the
than the Columbia and does not look any better for
it. She is also more bulky in the build between the
mdshp section and the stern. Consequently she is
rot as trim-lookng model as the American boat.
Whether this is gain or fault only trial will tell
For long time yachts have been pared away aft to
let them leave the water clearly when they lie down
to their rail But the latest high speed Of Bos
ton have been carrying their beam far aft, and the
width OF some OF them the is surprising In
other words they prefer to have something to lie
down on rather than study how to keep their lines
fine and leave the water cleanly While therefore
it is certain that the Columbia is much preter in this
region by no follows that her superior grace
means greater speed There is a good deal OF the
brute about the Shamrock Unquestionably she can
carry canvas longer, and of it. than the Co.
lumba the ballast power of both boats is about the
same. The Shamrock will be dragging some water
when she is hard pressed over, but she will be lying
down on a good support that will be powerful aid
to carrying on
1t is pointed by the writer that superiority in
brute" power does not always win. The Valkyre
contests between the two was never once called into
play. for there was wind enough to enable the
Vakyrie to make use OF her huge beam and the
slim Defender with more than two feet less OF beam,
slipped away from her in every race.
From the judgments pronounced by the experts it
appears the two yachts not unequaly matched, and
that the issue OF the will be determined partly
by the condition OF the weather and partly by the
skill of the men who handle them. The story that
in her voyage across the Atlantic is not generally
credited The races are be sailed under conditions
of perfect fairness and the case seems to be one in
which the best sailors rather than the best Yacht will
win.

French people that they have no reason to apprehend
that their republic will be undermined by the cor
rupting wealth OF political aristocracy"
Nor is it against the money power only that French
democracy is holding its own. The fact that public
opinion has forced the military chiefs to concede
new and an open trial to Dreyfus is evidence OF
lie ability of the people to guard against the army as
well against the aristocracy OF wealth whenever the
need arises Excitements, disturbances and not IN
frequent riots the natural accompaniment OF tree
governments. There could be no Dreyfus affair IN
any other country of Continental Europe, but the
is not that other countries more stable or
more just than France but solely because pubic
opinion, having there freedom to prompt to &C
