FAIL OF THE BASTILE.

The celebration throughout France
yesterday of the anniversary of the fall
of the Bastile, which occurred July ii,
1899, was marked by Il great deal of
patriotic enthusiasm. 1t is an occasion
which elicits from the French people
the strongest expressions of their sen
timents and emotions and the report
of the celebrations shows that the in
tercst in this anniversary has not in
the least abated. The populace cheered
for the republic and for the army
while the president received greetings
which amply attested his popularity
There had been some apprehension of
disorder, particularly at Rennes, where
the retral of Dreyfus is to take place,
but there was none to speak of.
There are some who are pessimistic
in regard to the permanence of repub-
lcan institutions in France, but the
people as whole are undoubtedly
strongly imbued with republican prin
ciples, which there is good reason to
believe are all the time becoming more
firmly rooted. Recent events have had
a most wholesome influence in teach
ing the nation the Importance of recog-
nizing and maintaining the supremacy
of the civil authority; that while the
army should be respected it is most
essential to the preservation of repub-
lican institutions that in time of peace
the civil power shall not be subordi-
mated. SO long as the French people
faithfully adhere to this principle the
republic will not be in danger from do
mestic strife; only when the civil yields
to the military power will republican
institutions in France be menaced. The
present republic has passed through
numerous crises that subjected it to a
severe strain and we believe it to be
stronger and more secure today than
at any previous time. Long may it live
is the earnest wish Of all Americans.

FATAL BLOW 10 BIMETA1LlsM.

The mints of India We're closed to the
free coinage of silver in 1898 and ever
since that time the hope Of the bimetal-
lists has been that the British govern
ment would restore the free coinage Of
silver in India and thereby not only ac-
knowledge the contention of the BIZ
metallists, but also take decided step
in behalf of an international agreement.
The currency situation in India has re-
ceived the serious consideration Of the
British government for several years
and last year the entire question was
relegated to a special commission, ap-
pointed under a resolution of the House
of Commons.
This commission was composed of
representative men, having from official
or business experience large acquaint-
ance with the question. After more
than year of careful investigation and
consideration of the monetary condition
of India the commission has just sub
mitted its report, which concurs in the
decision of the Indian government not
to revert to the silver standard and
taken to establish effectively a gold
standard, which is regarded as of para
mount Importance to India's material
interests. The report recommends that
the British sovereign be made legal
tender in and the current coin of India
and that the Indian mints be opened to
the unrestricted coinage of gold under
ii,
the Australian branches of the royal
mint.
Several years ago the British chan
cellor of the exchequer said that if
other nations found it possible to form
bimetallic league or reach any other
understanding that seemed good to them
as to the use of gold and silver, he be-
lieved that the Indian government
would be disposed to consider the
question of reopening the mints. Upon
this the bimetallists everywhere have
based their hopes, but the government
of India has pertinaciously adhered to
the view that the interests of the coun-
try lie in being in the closest possible
relation to the gold standard of the
lnOluer country anu now BrltlSn COM
mission, after Il most thorough consid-
| Grafton of the matter, unqualifiedly ap-
proves the position of the Indian gov
ernment and recommends the adoption
for India of the gold standard. I'm.
doubtedly the report will be accepted
by Parliament and its recommended
tions enacted into law. In that event
the agitation in the British empire for
bimetallism will probably end for at
least a generation and 1t will cease at
the same time in other portions of Eu-
rope.
Referring TO this the Philadelphia
Ledger says: with the example of
the great nations of the world before
it, the United States, which is practi-
cally on a gold basis by reason of the
prohibition of the free coinage of sill
yer, and because of an administrative
policy that acquiesces in the payment
of gold upon demand, should SO reform
its laws as to give the gold standard
the fullest endorsement OF legislatio
that the maintenance of the standard

POLITICAL DRIFT.

In Tammany circles Hogg and Harmony do
not Dull together
"A democratic candidate for governor of
Maryland this year is Colonel John Walter
Smith, who is said to have the support OF the
German faction.
The democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor of Kentucky is less than 30 years
of age and the democratic candidate for
governor is less than 40.
General NJ. F. Bell, the democrat men
toned as the successor in congress of Rich
| ard p. Bland, is native of Hagerstown,
Md, and lived in Pittsburg until 20 years
old. He is at present adjutant general OF
Missouri.
There is something almost comical to the
outsider in the thought OF the prohibition
party making a campaign for the state cleo
ton In Kentucky, but it intends to do 1t
again this year and will hold a mass con-
vention in Louisville early in August to
nominate candidates for the state Offices
The first census, that of 1890, cost less
than $50 000 The second census cost sec 900
and was included in volume of seventy
eight pages. The census of 1880 required
twenty-five volumes and cost $5,S62, 900,
while the census of 1890 required forty
volumes of more than $4,000 pages in all
and cost $11,2oO.000
The funded debt of the various boroughs
of New York on January /, 1898, the date
of consolidation, was s13s, 1861 for Man
haitian and the Bronx s74,390569 for Brook
lyn, $40, ,923, ops for Queens and s3,s14,57 for
Richmond, total of 1921, ,453,529. The net
funded debt of the city on June l, 1885, was
s239, 1897 ,l90, an increase of s12,oOO,O 900 since
consolidation.
Under the provisions of law passed by
the New York legislature New York City
officials against whom charges have been
brought but not proven are entitled to costs
incurred in their defense. Claims amount
ing to $26 900 have already been fled The
object OF the law is TO discourage political
prosecutions. Unofficial victims of prosecu-
tion or persecution are given no such privi-
lege.
President Andrew S. Draper OF the Uni
versity of Illinois, who has come forward
as a candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor of that state by the republican party,
Is one OF the foremost educators in this
country. For two years he was the state
superintendent Of schools in New York state
and later he was superintendent Of schools
in Cleveland and under his administration
they won the reputation OF being the finest
public schools in America.

MrNlctpAL cIrLL SERVICE.

The city of Buffalo is about to intro
duce the merit system in its civil serv-
ice the rules that have been adopted
making the system compulsory and put
ting it beyond the power of spoils-
loving mayors to tampcr with them.
The Express of that city states that 300
positions are changed from the non
competitive to the competitive schedule.
These include the superintendent of po-
lice, the chief of the fire department,
all the superintendents under the de-
partment of public works, the sealer of
weights and measures and the police
and fire surgeons, Very few positions
are exempt
Under the operations OF this system
the civil service of Buffalo will be
practically free from the influence Of
politics. Those who obtain positions in
the city government on their merit will
be assured of retaining them so long
as they faithfully and efficiently per-
form their duties and promotion in
some departments, through competitive
examination, will reward fidelity and
efficiency.
Buffalo is to be congratulated upon
this change, which there can be no
doubt will be abundantly justified by
results. There is urgent necessity for
this reform in the civil service of the
cities of the country, in the interest of
good government, economy and sound
business administration.
