the orators. just as at prizs dissribu-
tons. boast of their patriotism and stir-

in the naval arsenals may also bs men
toned. Tho political minister. when he
Stepped into Office. obtained many hun
dred thousand francs for Increasing the
wages Of thu wOgkmen. He had decided
ON an intellisent distribution of these In
increases. tAkinG into account the capacity
snd seniority Of the wOrkmen. but the
leaders have persuaded the elder men
that they all ought to have an equal share
in the Increase Of their wages in the form
Of ten centimeS extra daily.
Hence. there are troubles which have
compelled the ministers to interrupt his
holiday. His moderation and tact will.
however. certainly triumph over tho l,f-
ficulties which he did not deserve.
