THE FALL OF THE BAsrrLE.

The annual celebration in France. and in fact wherever there is French colony on the face of the globe, of the fall of the Bastile. ouickened our cu- riosity to look into the facts connected with that historic event. The very words. the storming of the Bastile. the fall of the Bastile," leave a re- sounding echo in the mind as if we had in truth assisted at the destruc- ton of the famous prison and witness ed its crumbling crash of massive ma sorry under the overwhelming artillery fire of the Parisian mob.
 What are the facts? The names of less than seven hundred persons mem bers of the mob adorn the column that was erected to perpetuate the fame of the achievement and the actors in 1t. How was 1t possible for so small num- Der of persons. many of them women. to subduc one of the most formidab ble fcrtresses of the middle ages7 The garrison consisted of de Launay, the Governor, eighty-two invalids and thir-

The secret of the whole af- fair is to be found in the number of fashionably dressed women in gay ecufpages. that surrounded and mingled with the mob out of simple curiosity. desiring to see a Parisian novelty, a mob clustering around the fortress. in history. the storming of the Bastile. The Governor could not find 1t in his heart to order solid shot discharged against such gathering. According. ly the leaders were invited inside for barley. They were entertained at luncheon and the barley was had with out result. Returning to the crowd outside. plans were entered upon to reduce the castle and its garrison, The favorite idea was to combine oil and phosphorus in some ingenious way so that when the composition should be applied to the rock masonry this would weaken and fall to pieces. One bright

They were all alike determined they must take the place and in the face of this determination, de Launay. desiring to spare their lives, finally surrendered. In taking him to the Hotel de Vile. he was murdered and q number of other outrages were committed.
 Whom did the mob find in the prison to be released? It is a common notion that there were scores or even hun dreds of State prisoners confined there, a prey to hunger themselves and ma terial to relieve the hunger of rats Seven inmates were brought to light, four charged with forgery and three whose identity was unknown. Into these proportions shrinks this far-shin- ing event.
 It need not be supposed. however, that the truth will ever affect the ar dor of the French in annually celebrat- ing the destruction of the Bastile Its fall has been chosen by the whole race to mark the beginning of their history of a new era, of the downfall of the old monarchy and however small the foundation upon which the legend has been builded 1t will no doubt con- tinue to signalize for that race a day of hearty rejoicing. of laughter. of much conversation. of course. of merry picnics and prolonged dancing and fetes.

 Texas politics is at last rid of Hogg. He was one of those freaks thrown up when politics was boiling in Texas. He was the model of men who appear in such times, flourish for a time, then Hogg has made money, knows he has lost favor in Texas and is now a bitter free lance, harmless and ridiculous.

Judge Parker's speech. accepting the nomination, is not stamped with tin aggressive quality suggested by the telegram to the St. Louis Convention. It Is impersonal. serene and dspas- sionate an opinion handed down from the Bench.
 It appeals not to popular sentiment or prejudice. but to the sober thought of the people. He condemns the ten dency toward government by an indi. vidual and urges a return to a gov ernment of laws based on the consti .. tuition.
 What Judge Parker has to say on the Philippines. tariff, trusts and so on will be popularly regarded as an answer to the declarations of the Re. publican candidate on those subjects. and comparison of the two speeches will be made by the people-and tn, people will have to decide. Making general reference to conflicts hetwcfn n capital and labor in Colorado and else where, the Judge tersely lays down the sound basilar principle in the words subjoined:
 Liberty, as understood in this coun try, means not only from actual servi the right of one to use his faculties ir all lawful ways, to live and work where he will and to pursue any lawful trade or business"
 As to our foreign policy. Judge Par ker condemns the exploitation of dis. tant territories. and he declares that the Americans are not a military hut '. peace loving people Great military aFmaments. he deprecates as need less and unprofltable, and asserts ina .h It IS the liberty, the advancement an tne prosperity of its citizens. not anI career Of conquest, that makes tlis country a world Power" Neverthc. less. he holds that such armament as tha thaS oo'er pc necessary for the security of rights, of its citizens at home anS ,r,g dpT4ad must be maintained"

The Chattanooga Times tells of a poor widow in that city who borrowed $10 from one of the loan sharks" agreeing to pay interest on it to the amount of s2 per month. and giving him lien on her household furniture. After paying interest twelve months, amounting to SPA, she fell sick, and was compelled to stop payment. and the fellow took away enough of her furniture to satisfy himself for the original slO loan. There may be proper punishment for williams of this kind, but 1t is not in this world. And there ought to be law to restrain such rob- bery, but there seems to be none. If there is 1t is not enforced.

 with the fact that the legislative de- partments of some of our State gov ernments, as well as Congress in the manner already referred to, have. by legislation, encouraged their propaga- ton"
 Then in these words Judge Parker delivers a blow at the Roosevelt ad- ministration:
 What is needed-in addition to the passage of a statute revising the tariff duties to a reasonable basis-is not so
 much other and different laws. as off, cials having both the disposition and
 the courage to enforce existing law :" With full faith in tho capacity of the common law to deal with the trusts. he yet observes that if it should be made to appear that his view is a mistaken
 one, then I favor such further legis- lation within constitutional limitations
 as will give the people just and full
 measure of protection"
 The soul of Judge Parkers speech is his reverence for law. Occasionally, by reason of unnecessary or impatient agitation for reforms. or because the Limitations placed upon the depart
 ments of government by the Constitu- ton are disregarded by officials desir-
 ing to accomplish that which seems to
 them4 good. whether the power exists
 in them or not, it becomes necessary to call attention to the fact that the
 people, in whom all power resides. have seen fit, through the medium of the Constitution, to limit the govern mental powers and say to departments created by it. Thus far shalt thou go and no further"
