MORE OF CASTRO,

The Hartford courant thinks the French Government will do a good thing if 1t keeps Castro out of Paris. "If," it says. "the French Government is able for once to teach a man of this type that he cannot take what he vents until he pays for it--or what Is the same thing in the case of Cas- tro, that he cannot delight his carnal soul by 8 visit to Paris because his ofheial behavior toward France makes him unit to exercise the private rights of domieile ia that land--it will do an excellent piece of public work. It is said that the German surgeon with gagement at Bordeaux knows nothing of this engagement. However this may be, it Is in every way probable that Castro had Paris in mind as one of the aIluring visions with which he undertook his journey to Europe. If his health permitted he would be bound to visit Paris--not so much. per haps, for what Paris is as for what he thinks that it is But the intentions of the French Government. if these are accurately reported, will keep him out of Paris, and we hope that this exclu- sion is before him, He needs the les son."
 It will be noticed that in later dis patches it is plainly hinted that Castro Is not sick. and that the plea of need ing a surgical operation was made to account for his departure from Vene- zuela. and that he goes to Europe to enjoy the wealth he has virtually stolen from his people and Govern ment. One account states that he has some Sso.0OO.OG0 safely slowed away in England and France. and that he has no intention of returning to his old home. Evidently Castro is a sly dog, and not an honest one.
