Casimir-Perier.

Jean Paul Pierre Casimir-Perier. former
president of France. was undoubtedly the
victim of cabal. Elected TO the office of
chief magistrate in the summer of 1894 to
succeed the assassinated Carnot, he found
the republic in a sad way. Indeed. as later
disclosures proved. France was the
verge of a political cataclysm. and possibly
as well a foreign war. He faced con-
diton of generalization -2ithin the admin
istration itself and was unequal to the task
OF curing IT, A very few months after he
had assumed Office the Dreyfus scandal
occurred. Casimir-P erier had served as an
under secretary of state for war and was
measurably acquainted with that branch
of the public service. 1t is to his credit
that he did not acquiesce In the proceedings
In the Dreyfus case In the light of the
truth. He had previously been insulted
openly by deputies of the chamber and his
prestige had been assailed, with measure

elements which. the president believed.
were undermining the republic The
plotters of the war Office now kept him
uniformed Of the successive developments
of the Dreyfus case, even to the extent OF
concealing from him until too late to pre-
vent a serious strain In the French rela-
lions with Germany the fact that the
French government had tempered with the
German ambassadors mail and extracted
and photographed certain private docu-
ments. Dreyfus was finally degraded Janu-
airy 5, 1906, and ten days later Casinlir
Perier resigned. 1t was not until after the
reopening of the celebrated case under the
stimulus of Zola's heroic intervention that
the truth regarding the former president
began to be disclosed. Then, little by little,
France and the rest of the world learned
that he had been sacrificed. He had re-
signed rather than longer bear the re-
sponsibility of an administration which he
knew to be based and conducted in
fraud. He bore his sorrows manfully and
made no complaint, but retired to a life of
literary pursuits which must have offered
him some solace for the chagrin and dis
tress of the treatment he had received at
the hands of his countrymen. OF highly
distinguished lineage, Casimir-Perier was
endowed with the qualities of statesman,
but he lacked the equipment of the poll
tician. He was not aggressive and he
would not compromise with dishonor. 1t is
a pity that stronger illed man was not
in charge of affairs at that time. The OPP
portunity was at hand for an executive of
feariessness and vigor to grapple with the
conspiracy that came SO near to causing
the collapse of the republican organization.

Grant.

New York politicians. should not trif1e
with the important Office of President, or
with the eminent name of Grant. But
some are doing this in pretending to can
vass for Jesse Grant for democratic leader
next year. He has not of course the
slightest claims upon attention in associa-
ton with the Office. and could not be lifted
into a presidential nomination with the aid
of derrick. Why then. for some local,
temporary purpose. introduce his name in
such a connection? Talk of weakening Mr..
Bryan by such an agency is not above the
grade of moonshine. II the Nebraska man
were TO stronger than that, his democratic
opponents would not be Obliged to raise
their hands against him. but might rely in
confidence on his collapsing like an empty
egg shell.

Another French Naval Disaster.

The disasters from which the French
navy has suffered for several years sug-
gest that something must be wrong with
the organization. Several submarines
have sunk and drowned their crews, and
now a battleship is destroyed, with the
loss of seventy or eighty men, including
the commander and other officers. This
latest catastrophe is attributed to the ex-
plosion of a torpedo, which detonated
the magazine. Barring the possibility of
a deliberate design on the part of radical
enemies of the government, such an ex-
plosion must be attributed to careless
ness In view of the other naval disasters
this theory is by no means illogical.
The destruction of the lena inevitably
revives memories of the Maine, which
sunk in the harbor OF Havana a little
more than nine years ago and precipitated
the war between this country and Spain.
Doubtless there will be an iteration of
the proposition that the Maine was blown
up through carelessness on board or in
consequence of an unavoidable accident.
This idea still persists even to a certain
extent in the United States, despite the
plain indications. adduced by a thorough
investigation. that the ships side was
crushed inward Enthusiastically by tor
pedo exploding outside of her hull. The
people of this country. with very few ex-
ceptions. have accepted the findings of
the naval court of inquiry in this case,
and only chronic skeptics and those who
at heart opposed American Intervention
in Cuba have ever believed or professed
to believe that the ship was destroyed by
an internal explosion.
The lena had just been thoroughly in
spected and was presumably in the best
possible condition But il may be that
this very inspection was accountable for
the disaster. In the handling of the ex-
plosives in this process there may have
been some trifiing accident, the nature of
which will probably never be disclosed,
owing to the extent of the disaster and
the death of many of the ships company
The fire and successive explosions must
have eliminated all possible evidences
pointing to the cause of the initial de-
tonation. and IL is to be questioned
whether the authorities will ever be able
to ascertain precisely what precipitated
this shocking disaster.

A Change of Front.

Mr. Morgan's call on the President to
arrange for a conference with four rail-
road heads on the subject of the anti
corporation campaign now in progress in
many states. is a token of remarkable
"about-face" on the part of the capital
istic interests on the subject of federal
regulation of transportation rates. Time
was, only few months ago. when these
interests regarded the proposition that the
United States assume a supervisory juris-
dicrion over the railroads the height OF
impudence. They opposed the Presidents
measures in Congress long as they
could. They sought by every means in
their power to amend it to render it in
nocuous Their friends in Congress spoke
long and eloquently of the danger of this
policy and attacked its constitutonality.
They finally yielded however, to the SUI
perior force of an aroused public senti-
ment which made itself felt in Congress
and caused the enactment of the legislation
in terms promising a measurable degree of
federal control of transportation rates.
Today the cry of the railroad corpora
tons is that the federal government should
go further. assume a larger jurisdiction
over the transportation lines and prevent
interference with them by the state legis-
latures. They are menaced by common
wealth laws of such a radical character
that they prefer the benevolent regulation
of the United States. They declare that
the Interstate commerce commission Is in
adequately equipped with authority to han
die the situation. and one of the leading
railroad executives of the country has just
uttered plea for the establishment of a
new department of transportation, to be
headed by a member of the cabinet
The conference at the White House be-
tween the President and the railroad heads
will doubtless be addressed to the point of
the present emergency The situation from
the standpoint of the corporation. is unde-
niably precarious. State legislatures are
passing two-cent fare laws and other re-
trictive measures. The railroads cannot
sell their securities. issued to buy new roll
ing stock and to make other improvements
to handle the congested traffic. The stock
market is sagging and a fear is expressed
lest prolongation of this condition may
precipitate a panic. The plea is for truce,
q period of conservative consideration of
the whole case. President Roosevelt can
not. Of course, interfere with the work Of
the state legislatures in this matter. ITO be
sure, he has succeeded In persuading the
California lawmakers to go slowly in the
consideration of anti-Japanese measures to
enable him to negotiate a new treaty, but
that case is not parallel 1t involves an in
ternational question, whereas the railroad
matter is strictly domestic and the juris-
diction and the moral right of the state leg
islatures to act may not be doubted.
Just what can come of the conference,
therefore, is problematic and the country
must wait for developments. Meanwhile
1t is permitted to contemplate the spectacle
of the railroads pleading for aid from the
power which a few months ago they were
opposing with all their might.

Conference of Presidents.

From the New York Times.
The United States has never seen a
fiercer enforcer of the laws which meet his
approval than Mr. Roosevelt, nor a more
fertile deviser of new laws and policies.
The presidents of the railways have here
and there broken some of the laws which
Mr.. Roosevelt is resolved to enforce. These
gentlemen are to confer at the White House.
1t is curious proceeding. Mr.. Roosevelt
began by placing the big stick in the hands
of the district attorneys and bidding them
to smite and spare not. He now receives
in his office the gentlemen who are at the
heads of the offending railways. What
common ground can there be found between
them? Can Mr.. Roosevelt amend or repeal
the law or make bargains about its en-
forcement? II the railway Presidents want
to surrender is it necessary for them to go
to Washington for the purpose, when all
they need do is to obey the law?

More New York Graft.
From the New York World


Controller Metz has uncovered number
of cases of more or less honest graft in
park rentals. Many buildings are rented at
absurdly low figures, some are used for
purposes not permitted in the leases. Pub
lie property is occupied by public employees
for priyate profit, restaurants have been
turned into boarding houses, liquor is sold
without license and city water is used with
out payment. Probably the most amazing
abuse of privileges by park lessees Is on
boat-house sites in Macomb's Dam Park.
where land has been sublet to a railroad to
widen it's right of way.

Conscience Fund Record.
From the Wall Street Journal.

Kant, the Koenigsburg philosopher, ex-
pressed the ennobling sentiment that two
things always excited his reverence for the
world in which he lived beyond anything
else that he knew and understood. One was
the heavens above him and their matchless
harmonies, and the other was the moral
law within him which drove or led men
in the path of right. 1t Is before this court
of last appeal that men plead guilty and
set themselves right by making restitution.
The courts of law may fail to bring about
justice but the conscience which Is not
at ease with itself is the more effective
kind of q constable.
