I had an interesting talk on this subject with Mr. Maynard to-night in the editorial sanctum or the Fiearo. “What are these secret funds?” “Ithas bLeen the foolish practice.” sald Mr. Maynard, “under all ministries which have succeeded each other in recent times, to pay certain sums to newspapers who spoak well of them, or rather it has been the practice of individual ministers, Each department has some money allowed it, but the most goes to the minority in the interior and in a vast wmajority of cases to papers not worth sub- seribing for,” “How are the funds voted on *With the budget. The total 18 about 2,000,- 000 francs.” How long has this been going of ince the great revolution. Mirabeau was undoubtedly subsidized. The system grew under the restoration. Andre Chenier certalnly had a finger in the secret fund. To come nearer our time, after the 16th of May money was spent freely on the press. The so-and-so journal was secially tarted in this way to defeat La Petit Journal, which becamwe staunchly republican.” “How much does each paper got?” ell, the payments are usually monthl and seldom exceed 6,000 franes a month, T of course, is quite inadequate to the cost of publishing, even when the money really reaches the puper, and does not stick in the divectors’ pocket. The wministers often have two or three obscure sheots devoted to them most of which the public hardly read. They are great organs—never bought—not often with money but sometimes with decorations and deputyships, ete.” “T suppose the Boulangist agitation largely fomented on this plan?” “Boulanger had a lead of less than you think from the secret funis, His backer is understood to have been the chief proprietor of Magasins—Dulouver—which, you know very well, is the man who is to raise the sub- Jeet fund in the chamber of deputies.” “'Will the Rouvier cabinet be upset on the | question?” “llardly.

He asked leave to anticipate that when the president should have seen more of the west he might realize more than ever how much there was for all to keep the United States in the front rank of nations and conceive those principles for which the fathers fought. ‘The following is the substance of the reply of the president: “Having traveled now through the state of [ndiana and seen some- thingof its fertility and wealth and a little of its people, it seems fitting as we leave its bor- ders that we should, after the manner of parting guests, express the pleasure which the brief visit to your state has atforded us, As L am told, too, that Terre Haute is one of the most_beautiful cities of which Indiana can boast, this eauses me to regret that I have so little opportunity now to see 1. ‘The fact that this particular neighborhood forms the richest portion ot a very rich and productive state is a cause for congratulation which you doubtiess fully appreciate.
