LOOK FOR THE READY CASH
Voters in Corsica Can Never Be 40,
eused Of Not Having Eye to
the Main Chance.

The Island of Corsica, although a
| part of the republic of France, is quite
different in its customs from the re-
public and never ceases to furnish
reading matter out of the ordinary for
the Partisan journals. The Corsicans
have, 1t appears, decided penchant
for millionaire candidates for the
chamber of deputies and are always
on the lookout for this admirable ma
terial. Yet there is between them
and the millionaire a singular misap-
prehension- The islanders desire
that millionaires be candidates be-
cause of the mama that falls upon
their country during an electoral
campaign, but they do not desire to
elect them. AS for the millionaires,
they are perfectly willing to spread
the mama, but they also wish to be
elected.
