Paris, March 3.-The victories of Roberts and
Butler have had the effect of q wet blanket on
French enthusiasm for the Beers and afford a
most striking Illustration OF the maxim Moth
ing succeeds like success" The scurrilous carl
cetures Of the Queen and Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Chamberlain have suddenly ceased. Lead
ing papers like the Temps" the journal des
Debats" and Figaro" for the first time ad-
nit that, ALL the interests Of civilization,
and especially the interests of French COM
merce. finance and industry the side OF
England rather than with the Beers. OF course
the Nationalist lingo press still raves and fumes
against England, but it is rot possible to close
ones eyes 10 the fact that strong undercur-
rent Of feeling has now set in in favor of Eng
land.
One influential parsonage at the DUAL d'Orsay
when asked TO the views that prevailed there
regarding the eventual consequences OF the war
replied: There be only result Of the
war and that is that after the occupation Of
Bloennfontein and Pretoria England Will remain
there and prepare ali South Africa for confedera-
ton and local self-government under the Brit
ish flag. This does not conflict with any French
interests, and prompt and frank recognition Of
what is now inevitable would do more than any
thing else 10 re-establish the friendly relations
between France and England that have been so
painfully strained since Fashoda."
When asked about the possibility Of mediation
my informant replied ''The neutrality or, more
strictly the inaction Of foreign Powers is more
firmly assured than before. The only possible
form in which mediation could come would be
from President Mckinney and if my information
is correct the two South African republics will

What the Books Show.

Col. Joe Flory has been talking
glibly about the necessity OF "seeing
the books" at the state capital.
BY indulgipg 10 this kind Of talk the
republican gubernatorial candidate
hopes to create the impression that an
examination OF the states books will
disclose mismanagement, il not DIS
honesty. Instead, however, Col. Flory
only adyertises his own ignorance.
Although a state officer for the past
six years, Col. Flory does not seem to
know that every two years the books
and accounts Of the various state de.
partments are examined by o com
mltlee composed Of one senator and
two members Of the house. one o.
whom is invariably republican.
