THE REBELLION IN FRANCE.

1t was remarked in these columns some time
ago. when the Confederation of LabOr''-falsely
so called--in France was trying to organize
all government employees both civil and mill
tary with the intention Of then ordering
universal strike and thus paralyZing all the
functions and powers of government, that such
proceedings were not industrial or social move
ments for the relief of grievances, but sim
ply political treason against the state. That
was the view which was taken by Mr.. Clemen-
ceau and his colleagues in the French gov
ernment and energetic measures were adopted
hv them with some success. for the suppression
of the attempted insurrection. The spirit of
hatred of the republic seems, however, still TO
be vital and to be almost as venomous, though
probably not so bold and daring, as when its
drunken exponents looted shops, insulted wom-
en- and murdered priests in their mad struggle
against the Thers administration at the very
foundation of the Third Republic.
Thus only can we reasonably interpret last
weeks rioting at Vigneux. The red flag which
seems 10 be common TO both socialism and
anarchy though the two theoretically op-
posed TO each other, was openly opposed to the
TricoIor. Resistance to the government was in
cited. The overthrow of the republic was
urged There We're the most direct eIhorta-
tions to violence and murder. When, after
hours of almost superhuman patience and re-
straint under all but intolerable provocation,
the troops finally did act and some of the
rebels were killed. those victims of folly and
crime were acclaimed martyrs and the as
sassinaton of the Prime Minister in revenge
was openly advocated. There was lacking not
one essential characteristic of reasonable re-
bellon against the legitimate government OF
the republic and Mr.. Clemenceau is unques
tionably justified in regarding the episode as
such and in treating IT according to its deserts
The attempt to connect it with industrial in
terests was impudently insincere- few honest
Uorkingmen may have been inveig1ed into it by
the professional revolutionlsts but the over
vhelming masses of them held themselves and
continue to hold themselves strictly aloof from
the whole business. and refuse to obey the
order for a universal strike which the Con
federation of Labor puts forth. 1t is clearly
seen that the Confederation of Labor is sim
ply a reasonable political organization, plot
ting for the overthrow of the republic, and
that it is trying TO real workingmen and
their interests as a mask for its diSloyal prop
agande There can be no doubt that MI.
Clemenceau is right in his temperate and re-
strained but none the less determined and
effective measures for securing the safety of
the republic and there should be-we believe
there is-no doubt that in them he will be cord
tally sustained by the vast majority OF the
French people.

BOGTES AT PANAMA.

The resentment which is reported 10 be felt
by some persons In Panama at the pressure"
which this country Is alleged TO have exercised
upon the domestic politics Of that republic, and
the apprehensions of further 'aggressions'' by
the United States eliminating in absolute dom
inatiOn," might not be altogether surprising and
unreasonable if they were really as emphatic
ss they are reputed to be, and If there were no
cause for suspecting the rumors of them 10 be
exaggerated Wild tales of American meddling
in and designs upon Panama have been so per-
sstentIy and plausibly put forward in this
country that in spite of their groundlessness,
il would not be strange if some of them obtained
credence. 1t is. have frequently pointed
out, a lamentable and mischievous feature Of
utterances of that sort that while they may be
meant chiefly or solely for political effect in the
United States. they usually and naturally have
their chief effect not here, where their falsity
is generally appreciated. but in foreign lands,
where they are received with credit far beyond
their deserts, and the result is impairment of
American dignity and credit abroad. if not an
actual compromising of American foreign rela-
tions.
That the United States government exercised
any partisan. sinister undue influence in the
recent Presidential election in Panama is abso-
lutely untrue. That this country has any ul-
terror designs against its isthmian neghbor is
equally untrue. II a matter of entire IN
difference TO this country whether Domingo de
Obaidia or Ricardo Arias succeeded Manuel
Amador as President of Panama. Official and
porSonal intercourse with both of them has been
Invariably pleasant and reassuring. and there
was every reason 10 expect that either OF them
would make worthy and acceptable successor
to the present distinguished chief of state.
What did greatly matter 10 the United States
was that the selection Of the second President
of Panama should be effected in orderly and
constitutional manner. marked with peace and
commanding general confidence in its entire
straghtforwardness and integrity. Whatever
precautions were taken 10 such result,
or TO guard against any other result at the
polls. were perfectly proper and we'll within the
rights of this country under the existing treaty
between the Two republics and under the con-
stitution CT Panama
We have no doubt that the United States will
continue 10 exercise thAt benevolent interesE in
the affairs of Panama 1t is not only its right
but also its duty TO do So Panama itself GER
rainly recognizes that fact. On ut least one
memorable occasion. which DIR. Amador and
Seilor Arias doubtless remember most viyidy
The Pansman government earnestly besought the
United States government 10 Intervene even
with force and arms, for the maintenance of
constitutional order Oh the isthmus. Happily

DOG Days SENSATIONS.

Notwithstanding the spread of prohibition.
this seems to be an open season for spirits Al
though in some quarters there has been COM
plant that the weekly pay envelope has been
conspicuous by its absence, we have it on the
authority of newspaper correspondents of un-
questioned veracity that in Pittsburg, Chicago
and St Louis the ghost is walking with greater
determination than ever.
The Pittsburg ghost was the first out, and,
as befitted the dog days, 1t was a dog ghost.
1t is further said to be black Newfoundland
with an English accent although whether it
dropped its his in bowling does not appear to
be specified. 1t isn't because of the bark of
the animal, however that the Pittsburgers OBJ
iect to It. but because 1t has a bad habit of
disappearing In green vapors mingling with
the morning mstS." There is something sus-
picous about the color Of the dog and to have
it bark a CHEEKY Good morning" as it departs
is a trife disconcerting, but these green dogs,
pink kangaroos and purple elephants which
have long haunted the early morning hours
with the rest of the menagerie have never been
properly classified.
In Chicago day or two later a popular ghost
is said almost to have started q riot For
six months-always according TO the veracious
correspondence ghost has been walking in and
out of a house in the Windy City, and at In
the evening, with a punctuality which does
credit to the discipline of ghostdom, this spirit
holds a sort OF ghost dance, turning pictures
to the wall and animating the tables, chairs and
crockery At the last public exhibition FIVE
thousand persons gathered TO witness the pro-
ceedings and swear to them If necessary, but
six fire engines were called out and the crowd
dispersed under the gentle persuasiveness of
H2O.
st. Louis not TO be outdone, furnishes a
ghost-still giving proper credit to the corre-
spondent-which not only performs all the
incredible feats of the less ambitious visitors
from spiritland but dimes on such light lunches
as bread ham, tomatoes and wine. 1t makes
clocks strike most unseemly hours, removes
shoestrings from shoes and ties them about
broom handles and makes itself generally in
teresting to the crowds which gather each even
ing in front of its chief place Of business TO
watch its operations.
All of which indicates that even with Pres
idential campaign on, Hearst ticket In the
field and Bryan and Watson adding their full
share to the late summer liveliness, this must
be very dull season for news.
