Nothing indecd in his past may justify the extraordinary rise that his flatterers prediet for him. But setting aside the fact that one most always has - sions about one’s own importance, may he not boldly assume the role because it is abandoned to him, resolving to justify the undeserved greatness he aspires to later?” STILLIN HAR A prominent deputy the other day re- marked, wagging his head ineredulously, that the magniicent horse which the general rodeat the review on the 1ith of July was not un sed from the chariot of vietory. “Phis Is true enough, but may not an attempt be made after to ac mplish what there w no opportunity of doing before, even though it s always preferable that one's deeds should be proved beforehand? Have not nations been known to give credit blindly t sham saviours who ended in bankruptey We may treat General Boulanger, 1f we like, asa CITARLATAN OR AN ADVENTURER, but forall that he s no tool. However dulgently he may judge himself, he cor has a fine appreciation of his means of action and the necessitics of the situation. He has understood that France is humiliated by see- ing M. Prudhomme at her head, wrapped in a Paragon’s dressing gown. Accustomed to glory i seeing herself reflected in a chief capibie of proudly wearing a sword, SRS FOR A PRIN or, at the very least, a soldier. As the nation loves elitter, he has striven to dazzle the crowd, but knows well enough that the mere glitter of a review will never be mistaken for A halo.

He knows it fs mueh more needed o fascinate the France of Tollsiac, of Bovines, Rocrol, Austerlitz and Magenta. He knows that. in our carping, sceptical age, the aucient oils of Rhei OST T and that vietory consecration, He need not to retlec to understand that the only general who could keep his hold on France would be the one who gave her sorrowful patriotism the revenge for Metzand Sedan, This, then is he idea hidden behind his bombastie ex ation, This is the effect of his posturing plotting. Naturally, too, the general doos not hope to obtain his end by succeeding M.

Eh bien, a mil- itary Gumbetta, a soldier-adventurer is TRVING TO PLAY TIE SAME GAME, Public opinion is warned. Let the national security be looked to, let us measure the whole consequence of the events wiieh may surorise us. ‘Ihere Is only one obscure point in this very clear project, one hidden card in this ovident game, namely, M. Clemenceau, Nothing can be prepared or attempted with- out his free and full consent. With what objeet and to what extent is he an accow- plice in the enterprise? Sieyes, the visionary, once said the head of the government of Bonaparte will be the sword, but the sword s0on monopolized everything and plunged the poor visionary into nothingness, Does M. Clemenceau, like Sieyes, seek a sword? Does he flatter himself that he will after the victory tarn & conquering geueral into a dooile instrument or is be so diszusted with . his party that be is resigned to playing the part of a Combaceres, of whom he has neither the experience or the mettle?

Clemencean and Rochefort. Clemencean, in talking with the Ficaro reporter, seemed to make light of the suggestion that Boulenger could be medi- tating acoup d'etat, all he said was, "It ex- ists only in the immagination of thereactio ¥ pay The idea is simply ridiculous won'tsay another word on the subject.” lerfort <aid: “Am I afraid of Balounger? Wiy, heis the first really republican minister of war we have had yet. 1f we overthrow him we should only get some old stick foisted on ¥o. I think it safer to keep Boulanger than any one else. However, if hs does make acoup d'etat it won'tbe in the interest of the Orleanists. 1t is idiotic to COMPARE HIM WITH RONAPARTE, Napoleon came in at the moment when the conntry was trembling with the recollection of the year ‘03, Boulanger, on the contrary, arrived just as we are beginning to get rid of all fear of monarehical reaction. You think \ger is getting danzerously popular, do ntinued Rocheford, with a slight , too, have had my t hour of rity, Noj thereis no danger on that popu seore. Whether the Figaro arti tion or not, it cannot be denied that General Boulanger is not only an extremely am- bitious, but an extremely elever man besides. TIE MILITARY CLUB, A few days ago L cabled you an account of the inauguration of a new military eib in Paris, the idea of which Boulanger had con- cluded, and which he earried through with a degree ot activity and perseverance beyond all praise. It now appears that this lnxurious Parisian club was planned by Boulanger not merely os a deviee for promoting comtort and pleasant s relations among the oft quartered in Paris, but it was a part of a great scewme tor making of the whol, neh army A POLIIICAL MACHINE sooner had the enterprising minister of nging together into one ation, under one roof, in his nd- some new club at the head >f the Avenue de all the oflicers in and around Paris S Lrenort to the president of the republie recommending that all the existing milit clubs in the country should be submitted to similar conditions, GREVY ACCEPTS HIS VIEWS, Presi evy fell inat once with these views of Boula nd e has just signed a decree in conformity with them. All the military clubs throuzhout France will be heneeforth under the direct control of the minister of war, All the oflicers of the army inactive service will be obliged to become members of the military elubs of the garrson town in which they are quartered and their dues will be deducted every month from their pay, The statutes of the clubs are to be submitted for approval to the eommanders of the army corps of the different districts, who in turn must report to the minister of war. Even presidents of working committees of of these elubs are not allowed to make the or- dinary arrangementf for the renewal of the libraries, apartments, in- ternal fittings, ete., without first obtaining the appprobation of the minister. IN HIS SOLE CONTIOL. It is plain to see that the organization of the clubs, being centrali in the hands of the head of the army, becomes at once a powerful political machine, capable of being turned in any direetion at the will ot the minister of w ‘I'he whole French army, in fact, will shortly be transferred into a politi- cal elub, such as Girondins and Jaeobins tried but were unable to establish, The army will now be such a elub, with a sword in its hand instead of merely the club tongue in its mouth. The Giron s clubs rested on mere arguments for their support. Boulang- er’s scheme will have the whole armed foree of the county at its back. It is however,not at all certain that Boulanger has any intention of taking advantage of the situation to make acoup d’ etat. The Journal des Debats thinks tuat Boulanger is not re a lofty ambition.

Detective Jansen is only one of tive of Pinkerton’s other ofticers who were put early last winter to find out what the anarchist crowd actually meant by their mouthings at the lake front and other places and who, in the prosecution of their work, penetrated the anarchist dens, took part in their most secret conclaves, listened to their instructions to their dupes ted day to day to Pinkerton, their employer, Further than that he had set them to do this work dand sald they did not know or the objest of it. “silly” Pinkerton alone kuew that ho had been employed by a parly of the largest property owners in town to make the investigation and furnish the information as he gotit. His men were not employed to aceuse or convict anyone. They were in- structed toreport the facts simply as they found them, and their testimony is therefore not open to the objection which is usually urged with for sainst detectives’ evidence that is procured Lo conviet. It was not used for that purpose, thonzh what might have been done with it had not the Haymarket riot put an end to its accumulation it is, of course, impossible to say. It cones now simply as corroborative evidence t confirm the statements of those who werein the great conspiracy, and as such is the more valuab! The prosecution, which has far been managed with consumate skill.is maRing the least possivle of this valu- able mat 1. So far the proof of conspi has been admirably arranged and presented. ‘The state's attorney and his assistants have actualy realized fi t what ali prose- cutors realize sooner or later—that conspir- acy, ot all crimes, is the most diflicult to prove. sually the only testimony to be had in such a case is that of an accomplice—a “squealer,” as the famous whisky cases ten years ago taught us to call them—a Kind of witness that it is diflicult for courts, juries, and individuals alike to regard otherwise than with contempt.

The excentive depart- ment being a co-ordinate branch of the great govermuent of the paople, President Cleves Tand maintains that his constitutional duties as such exceutive are clearly defined, and in order to properly diseharge the same he must have time to duly examine and consider all measures requiring is approval to be- come laws, nd that sueh proper ruting as is required for a faithiul dis- charge of the trusts confided to the executive branch of the government cannot be given amid the rush of hasty legislation ground out during the last few hours of the close of he session. Entertaining these views, Cleves Tand will vemain at the executive mansion and receive the congressional enactuents in the nsual rezular course and take time to give them careful consideration. Congress fof course, will kave to continue its session till the executive return the measures with his approval or accompanicd with his objections.
