FRENCH MINISTRIES.
They Have Been Numerous and Many
of Them Have Been of Short
Duration.

There have been So ministers in
France during 27 years. The average
term of a ministry has been nine
months. In England during the same
period there have been nine ministries
and four prime ministers.
The English view of French politics
is that these frequent changes of gov
eminent are fatal to the security of
the republic. On the other hand it may
be said that there have been six French
presidents in comparison with four
English prime ministers, and that the
republicans have remained the dom
inant party in France since the down
fall of the second empire.
Frenchmen do not take as serious a
view of the weakness of their ministry
as foreigners take. They say that the
republic is a political engine, run at
high pressure by an eXcitable nation.
and that ministerial crisis is safety
valve. When ministry is upset, steam
is let off, and no harm is done. The
engine remains, and a competent chief
engineer is always at hand to take
charge Of it.
There is, however a new element in
the political experience of France. This
is the icfluence of the army For 27
years ministers have been subject to the
control of the Legislative chambers, and
the generals of the army have been the
servants Of the state. The friends of
republican institutions now fear that
ministries viii be dependent upon mil
itary control and protection. Holding
office at the mercy of a praetorian
guard of generals win not be republican
in spirit or in methods It will be mil
ltary dictatorship. - Youths Com

midgets to scatter and hide beneath

places it is almost impossible to dis
cover them. In The meantime the
mother feigns desperate lameness,
throws herself at your feet, kicks and

able to fly about the middle of July;

PRIsoN-LABoR PROBLEM.
How to Avoid Competition Between Con-
Wet and Free Labor.

The prison-labCr problem presents
difficulties at every turn. The aboli-
ton OF the contract system of dispos-
ing OF prison labor was undoubtedly 4
wise step, but it By no means effected 4
solution of the problem. The ccmpe-
tition of prison-rrade goods with the
product Of free labor is q bad thing,
yet it must be remem bered that the con-
9icts can scarcely be employed at all
without competing more or less with
outside labor. In the nature of things
this must be so. If the convicts were
not in prison they would be at work
outside competing with other laborers.
Seeing the demoraizing effect upon the
market of rrison-rlade goods, leaders of
organized labor have asked hat con-
lets be employed in. making goods for
use by the state and its political sub
divisions. In accord with this sugges-
ton, which has decided merits, Gov.
Tanner has recommended that cOnvicts
be employed in making text books for
use in the public schools. And, natur-
ally enough, though certainly iEcon-
sistent, at 4 meeting at which the gen
eral policy OF employing prisoners in
was commended, the particular PROPOSE
ton to employ them in making text
books was condemned by the represen-
tation of the printers that was in at
tendance. This episode serves to illus
trate the difficulty and completely of
:he problem, and should inspire in all
! spirit of liberation in considering the
nbject.
The only way prisoners can be en-
ployed without competing directly with
tree labor is to put hem to work on pub
&c improvements that could not be con-
tructed for years to come but for the
Utilization upon them of labor Of this
sort. In this way there may be secured
improvements of inestima bic value for
III time that the public might not have
sit warranted in constructing under
ather circumstances. There is no doubt
hat good roads would be worth almost
my amount to community, bit it is
practically impossible to get taxing
s>odies to take from the people the sums
necessary for their construction. Max
ne of good roads would be in many re-
spects ideal employment for a portion
If the states ccnvicts, and the PROPOSE
tion so to employ them has been revived
in New York. The chief objection to
the plan, peculiarly enough, is q senti-
mental enc. 1t is argued that the pop
ular sense would revolt at the sight
Of convicts under guard at work in the
presence of the public. This objection
mas some weight, but it should not be
made TO appear perable.-Chicago
