THE DOWNFALL OF POLAND.

Resiqnation of the French Ministry.

The government inA France had a majority of ten last week on a test vote, but M. Combes and his asso- ciates consider that too lean a major ity for parliamentary purposes, and they will resign as soon as President Loubet returns from the funeral of his mother, who died on Sunday at the age of ninety-two.
 Premier Combes has encountered the combined opposition of those who dislike the separation of church and state, of those who are opposed to secret reports regarding the lives of army officers, and of those who are angry because an income tax bill has not been pushed through. It is believ- ed the second part of the combination is the most powerful In bringing about the resignation of the premier. The army is a strong institution in France, and the government has industriously secured secret reports concerning every officer in it. The practice will now, it is thought, be abandoned.
 What effect the resignation of M Combes will have on the policy of sep arating church and state or on the imposition of an income tax remains to be seen, but it is believed it will have none at all. M. Rouvier will be- it is said, the new premier, and he is regarded as a republican with conser. vative tendencies, but until the pro gramme of the new ministry is pre-. sented 1t will be impossible to say what course affairs will take after M Combes retires. The ministry of to day has stood three years, and the incoming one will have to study French sentiment very carefully, both in the cities and among the peasants if it holds office that long. French sentiment shifts readily, and it's ten, dency at present is not well defined.

ional government was behind them, and the entire tenor of the Inquirer's article is that they should be paid.
 The Inquirers article is evidence that under the pending treaties, as negotiated, efforts will be made to ar bitrate the repudiated bonds of recon struction times. The article in ques- tion should be read in the executive session of the Senate, and perhaps it will suggest the unpleasant thought that the bonds are the power behind the treaties, pushing them on to ratifi- cation.

Had all his hairs been lives, my great revenge Had stomach for them all.
 -OfheIIo,
Russian ludaciiV.

While she is actually holding by force a portion of a Chinese province a province that she took by fraud Russia has the audacity to object to Chinese neutrality. Working upon tho fears of hel less China the entire Rus sian policy towards that country has Leen a compound of the bully and the rascal. Every feature of it has been shameless from tho summer of 1900 down to the present day. And now Russia rises up to say that China has violated neutrality in favor of the Japanese.
 The Chinese would not be human If trey did not sympathize with the Japanese, and even aid them to pro cure certain supplies. Russia proposes to use liberty Of action in regard to future abuses, but the Japanese will see that China is not abused by the Russians in the course of the present var. As Jon as Mukden is occupied by the Japanese, Russia will be pretty well dr.yen out of China. She can not threaten Pelkin, or do anything else that will harm China seriously. She has no ships in the far east, and
 
 Russia's formal notification to the powers was grandstand play, and no notice will be taken of it, unless in deed France can in some way utilize it. This, however is doubtful. Rus sia has no ground to stand on, moral or political, and no power to enforce the breaches of neutrality she com plains of She must now take some of her own medicine. The more victories Japan wins the more Chinese will come to her aid. and the other nations will not interfere, least of all the United States.
 The breaches of neutrality that Rus sa complains of are thus summarized.
 1. That the islands of Miaotao, in the Straits of Pechili, opposite Port Arthur, have been constantly used by the Japan csc without Chinese interference as strategical base and as harbor for Japanese torpedo boats.
 2. That the Chinese army on the border has accepted the command of Japanese officers.
 3. That Chinese firms have been con- stantly working in behalf of the Japan ese, supplying them with provisions, mili- tary accoutrements and general war stores.
 In substance these specifications mean that Chinese sentiment inclines strongly to Japan, and neither Russia nor aa the other powers can change that. It is the natural result of Rus sian force and fraud, and Russia at least should not complain of the plain result of her own high-handed acts.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press
 You never find a married man who feels sorry for bachelors the way women do.
 The kind of figure that is bound to interest you Is one that you feel is not as thin as it looks.
 A woman is hardly ever angry with a man over anything he declares he did out of admiration for her.
 The trouble is not that a woman is will ing to sacrifice herself to her child's pleasure. but everybody else.
 girl is never too young to think she is in love with somebody. and never too old to think somebody is in love with her.
