Respect Of Monarchs.

Already popular, he has added i'm.

which show the high esteem in which
he is held by the crowned heads of
Europe, who have not been slow in
showing their Joy at seeing such man
at the head Of the French republic
Two Of these monarchs, at least, will
nsit France this year, and these two
are the heads Of the most powerful en-
pires in Europe, King George and Car
Nicholas. Frenchmen, hike all other
republicans, feel immensely flattered
by the visits Of crowned heads, and
they are preparing to receive their
royal guests in the most magnificent
manner.
But what perhaps flatters even as
much ls the cordial invitation which
President Poincare has received from
the czar to pay him an official visit

PARIS, Jan. 24.-WhiIe President
Poincare is in every way man after
the heart of the people of France
brilliant, patriotic, and democratic In
the best sense Of the word-his popu-
larity is painful thorn in the flesh
OF the men who constitute the present
government, and who recently showed
their animosity toward him and their
fear of his growing popularity by abb
soiutely refusing 10 accompany him on
any official excursions TO French pro-
Vlnclal towns and cities anxious to
make the personal acquaintance Of the
most striking, most typical French per-
sonallty who has occupied the presiden-
tial chair for years.
A hidden, hut mono the less bitter,
struggle is on between the members Of
the cabinet, who have few supporters
and no genuine friends among the
French people, and the president. and
the outcome Is by no means doubtful.
There are many signs to show that the
existence of the present cabinet will
not be q very long one. Should the
feared complications in the near east
become acute, wave of patriotism
sweeping France will carry off the
present radical government in a mo-
ment, but even should it remain in of
flee, the president will become an easy
victor.

Special Cable 10 The Tribune.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-We are within q
fortnight Of the reassembling OF par
lament and the beginning of the last
lap Of the home rule fight, but both
great parties are, and have been for
some time, far too busy to occupy
themselves very much with the problem
which lies ahead, so much more as the
outcome of it is foregone conclusion.
Internal dissension is troubling as well
the liberal as the conservative party.
Furious Farmers.
The farmers of England, 80 per cent
Of whom were formerly stanch con-
servatives, are furious against the
tories, wnom they accuse of having
treacherously abandoned their cause
and gone back on promises which many
OF them had hoped would put new life
into English agriculture, now slowly
dying. In vain they tried through the
National Farmers union to voice their
grievances in the conservative press.
Desperate at last, the Farmers union
turned to the press Of the opposite
party, and found it more than willing
TO. expose this weak point in their adj
versaries armor, which bodies well for
the government land policy.
A scapegoat must, of course, be
found to bear the blame for the desper-
ate plight in which the tory party finds
itself, and it is frankly admitted that
Bonar Laws leadership has been an
utter failure from beginning to end.
He is what Parnell would have called
a very nice gentleman for tea party,
but the present situation calls for a de-
termined leader with a dominating per-

They found London q queer mixture
of village and metropolis, with all the
vices of the continental cities In their
most aggravated forms, uninterfered
with by the police as long as they re-
NAMED hidden from the public eve.
They found plenty Of theaters, with
brilliant actors whose plays were staged
with disregard OF cost, unseen any
where on the continent, but they also
found that after sitting in these for
hours they must 90 to bed sgpperlesa
and hungry, because the village curfew
law required all restaurants to close
