WHAT NEXT IN FRANCE.

This week TIE new Ministry in
France will fed out whether it fits
its saddle. The assumption is that
it does not, and that it can lose its
seat, stirrup and bride rein just
as easy as nothing at oil.
In other words, the new Cab,
met is a political impossibillly,
and will exist only until the crisis
which called it into exietence has
passed. The situation has moved
beyond the DreJ fas incident, and
has distinctly lined up some Of the
burning questions that masquer-
AIDED with it and which touch the
very existence of the republic.
1t is said that a democratic
form OF government is not poss~
IDLE in a LGtin race that racial
conditions prevail over the high
est eH0rts OF craftsmanship N
the service Of democracy when
applied to France. De Toeque-
vile in saying this had no such
illustrations as now exist to point
his lesson, and if we miss know
ing the cause we can still see the
law moving towards its newt
able result.
President L1ubet is a man Of
the people, but he does not stand
for the French sentiment, which
opposes his ad ministration and
which is now arrayed against
him with so much of menace,

The Qrads
CHIEF JUSTICE CHAMBERS
SUSTAINED.
A Democratic New spaper.

Chief Justice Chambers was
indeed a kingmaker. He pulled
down Mataafa. and he set up
Malieota Tanus, and his decision
has been fully sustained by the
commissioners sent out with
plenary powers of Germany,
England and the United States.
These commissioners went
backed by warships: and when
they had studied the situation
they com E elled both Mataafa
and Tanus to turn in all the guns
they possessed. Mataafa sur
rendered 1850 rifles and Tanus
1000. Mataafa has promised to
turn in still more. After June
20 40 one can have in his posses
sion a rifle without mourning a
heavy penalty. The islanders
are experiencing disarmament
OIL a large scale, and it is safe to
say that the peace of the islands
will not hereafter be broken.
The commissioners acted units
eddy in recognizing the validity
of Chief Justice Chambers de-
clsion in favor Of Malietoa Tanus.
Tanus has since abdicated in ia
vor of the commissioners, who
have set up a provisional headed
by the three consuls of the three
controlling powers, The Com
missioners will soon leave the is
lands, but they will leave a peace
full people behind them, with a
competent government in con-
troll. They joined in a request
that Chief Justice Chambers re-
main in Samoa. The future gov
eminent of the group of islands
will be determined by diplomacy,
but the chances are that there
will be no nor kings in Samoa
elected by popular vote. La some
way the three powers will select
a government and council, and
the natives will be permitted TO
vote for and sit in a legislative
body. This is said to be the plan
favored by the three commis>
sioners, who cc-operated in all
things, There does not appear to
have been any disagreement
among the commissioners. al
though was a German, one
