strange The scant, short constitution
Of the French republic places the treaty
making power in the hands of the Presl-
dent, provided he obtains the counter
signature of one of the ministers Of the
government. Nor is he bound to COM
municate the treaties or international
agreements which he signs until he con-
siders that public interests render such
q course permissible This condition Of
affairs would be dangerous enough. from
a national point of view, If the presi-
dency of the republic were always IN

Marshal MacMahon. who Joined to great
obstinacy a profound contempt Tor pol
iticians in particular and for civilians
generally. the chief magistrates at the
Palace of the Elysee have all been dls-
tinguished by an extraordinary subserVl-
encv 70 their Cabinet ministers. Indeed,
the only one since them who showed
some Independence was Casimlr PeTler'
who resigned within six months after
his election. on the ground that he could
not bring himself to give his signature
and consequent sanction TO things sub
mitted to him without warning by the
ministers and dealing with matters or

ignorance until that moment, Parlia-
ment and the public consequently know

II was Decasse who as Minister ot
Foreign Affairs concluded the secret

knowledge and approval of the English
government in 1901; that is 10 say be

then President of the Republic, TO this
treaty. but neither the then Premier nor

France declares that Delcasse's secret

Mrs r. ". Barlow, golf champion, said
tho other day at the Philadelphia Country
Club.
IF a golfer is going to boast, let him

autumn evening. as he toasted himself be-
