e —— THE OMAHA DAILY NINETEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1889 THE CONSTITUTION OF FRANCE Jules Ferry Strongly Opposed to Revieion at This Time. CHURCH AND STATE RELATIONS. Religion a Moral Force . Which the Civil Power Can Not Disregard— Eevere Oriticism by the Radical Journals. Ferry Sticks to His Assertion. (Copuright 1859 by James Gordon Dennett.) Panis, June 21.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee. [—In o specch deliv- ered last Monday at the National Republican association banquet, M. Jules Ferry accent- uated the declarations he had previously made in the chamber of deputies. He was very energetic in his condemnation of the agitation in favor of revising the constitu- tion, The idea of convokiug tho constitu- ents and modifying the constitution at a time ‘when republican institutions were exposed to attack on every hand was said by M. Ferry to0 be an aberration. The terms in which the opportunist leader insisted on the necessity of concluding peace between the church and state were not worthy. It was this part of his speech in the chamber which most excited the ire of M. Clemenceau, but, far from re- tracting any of his opinions, M. Ferry reiter- ated his statement, that religion in France represented great moral force which tho civil power could not disregard, and with which it should avoid all quarrels. As might have been expected, the radicals have taken umbrage at these declarations, and their orgaus take M. Ferry severely to task. The Justice, Lanterne and other news- papers of the same shade of opinion declare o retrogrado policy of I'onkiners can uot be accepted by the republican party. A re- vision of the constitution is, they say, both necessary and urgent in somo instances, They pretend that the national assembly was not qualified to draw up a constitution for F'rance. The conservative journals join with the radical organs n criticising M. Ferry's specch. M. DeCassagnac is for once with M. Clemenceau. Accordingly, in his defense of the existing constitution, M. Kerry has to deal with radicals, monarchists and Bou- langists, However. he has the support of all members of the moderate party, and his programme exactly answers to the desirc of the majority of the population, as the whole people of France want ot a chango of gov- ernment, but order, tranquility and religious tolerance. M. Ferry’s language would con- sequently be well received throughout tho country if his personal situation and remem- brauce of his past policy did not detract from its éffect. The conservatives, for their part, have no confidence in him. In his mouth liberty of conscience, religious peace and tolerance are but as yain words, for it can not be forgotten that it was Ferry who expelled religious orders from the soil of France; that it was Ferry and the oppor- tunist party who weeded out from the ranks of the magistracy those who were suspected, with or without reason, of clericalism; that as asop to the Cereberus of radicalisin the opportunists adopted the tormula, “Les cures sac au dos,” and that regulation of schools and hospitals was in the beginning their work. Nor can it be forgotten that in obedicnce to the injunctions of the radicals, the Ferrys were among the first to declare themselves in favor of a partial revision of the constitution; that their policy, when they ‘were in power, was_a constant pandering to radical ovinions. If it were possible to believe the opportunists sincere at this junc- ture, the past might be forgotten, but they have not broken their faith with the ad- vanced section of the extreme left. Their camps are still allied in view of the election. ‘When the requirements of the situation will force on Ferry’s partisans to vote for an ex- pression of the budget,, and for a revision of the constitution, the moderate republicans allied with the ex-cominunists is certainly a curious spectacle. S GIVEN A COLD RECEPTION, Pasteur's Rabbit Remedy Refused by the Australian Authorities. [Covyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett,) Prymourn, June 21.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee, |—Drs. Germont, and Love, representatives of M. Pasteur, of Paris, who went to Australia twelve months since with a secret in their possession which they alleged would exterminats the rabbits, came homo on the Orient company’s Cuzso, which arrived at Plymouth yesterday. They complain bitterly of their treatment Australin. The rabbit commission reported that Pastcur's system was not dangerous but inefiicient. They, howover, refused to aliow a public trial to be made. Kxperiments wero made L\)rovn'uz that chicken cholera would spread from disensed rabbits to healthy ones, 70 per centof the mortality being registered. At a public trial M. Pasteur's agents sbowed that by means of vaccination they could prevent anthenax in sheep und cattle, The anthenax board reported in favor of M. Pasteur’s vaccine as a preventative against anthenax and recommended 1ts adoption and use. A number of sheep owners asked to have 130,000 sheep vaccinatea, but M. Pas. teur refused to allow it until some settiement ‘was 1iade with the rabbit question. Public trials were made in Queensland with a view of proving that pleuro-uneumonia could be cured by inoculation, and were said to be a success. Dr. Germont asserts that M. Pasteur's let- tors of iustructions to him were onened by the colonial )Fjvorumnnl nud extracts taken thercfrom.

He hurriod up his correspond- ence, disposed of his visitors with even more than the usual celerity, and no doubt thought out some measures of reform in addition. Ho was eager to leave for Cape May on the 3:45 train with President Harrison, who had planngd to spend Saturday and Sunday at the seashore with Mrs. Harrison and fawmily. To- day he hurried down Seventh street and across the avenue to the station. His car- riage pulled up in front of the depot just be- hind the prosident's carriage, which had brought down from the white house President Harrison, and ex-Senator William J. Sewall, of New Jersay, who was bound for Cape May with him. General Sewall alighted first, He was dressed 1n dark clothes and had on a black pot hat, tipped pretty fur on his heaa, He helped the president out. Prosident Harrison was dressed in his rey Prince Albert coat und wore his black silk hat; that too, was tipped protty far to tho right on his head. They suun: tered leisurely 1nto the station and boarded a private car which Vice-President Thomp- so1, of the Pennsylvunia road, had sent over for their accominodation, Postmaster Wan- amaker followed close behind. He had a bundie of books and papers under lus arm, and proceeded into the station ana down 1o the car with rather more haste than the othershad used. He was accompanied by Congressman Buchauan, of New Jersey, stout and perspiring. The train was off on time, and,in_spite of the intonse heat @ pleasant evening was promised. A PRETTY FIGUT, b A protty fight i on for the post of consul to Manchester. One candidato is ex-Speaker John A. Tibbets, of the Connecticut house of representatives. Ho was backed first for the consul generalship to London. When John C. New got that his influence pushed him for Liverpool. When Thomas A. Sherman got that he was urged for the Manchester place. Many predict that he will not be disappointed this time. Senators Platt aud Hawley are on the spot working hard for him. Another candiduto is @ brother-in-law of the vice-pres- ident, William F\. Grinnell, at 'present con- sul to Bradford. A third eandidate is Dan D. Hubbard, of Graftoy, Mass., who is backed by the entire Bay state delegation as well as the Home Market club, of Boston, and the Arkwright club, which represents easily §200,000,000. The Massachusctts men aro not on the spot worlking for him, and it is predicted that he will fail. SHAKING THINGS IN INDIANAPOLIS. There is real pleasure in true administra- tion circles over the way the civil service commission is shukiug things up m Indianap- olis. It is not denied that one of the scin- dals of President Cleveland’s administration was the open detiance oY the civil service Taw by Aquilla Jones. The lust civil service commission white washed the Indianapolis postmaster, and he went on as he had begun until the close of the last administration. Even the New York World admits that the understanding now is, t hat the law is not to be violated with impunity. The charges againsy the postmaster i Troy were, promptly investigated, and now at India- nopolis, if the account may be believed, the commissioners have gone to the root of the matter. It is believed that thore is still plenty of work to be done by the commission in Washington, New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. ' President = Harrison, tho friends of the administration insist, may have been opposed by the self-chosen guar- diuns of civil service reform and may not have been elected on that issue, but he be- lieves in the reform and will carry it into effect. 3 TOWA POSTMASPIRS APPOINTED.

BostoN, Mass,, June 21.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee. ]—Senator Chandler has issued to the republicans of New Hampshire an address referring to the quarrel with Senator Blackburn last February, which concludes as follows: ‘““The whole affair oc- cupicd hardly more than a minute. I re- mained -seated in the chair, expected no vio- lence and was subjected to none, aud to no appreciable mdignity save threatening words and gestures. 1 don’t think that I wasin the slightest degree excited, disturbed or appre- hensive, All accounts which represent Mr. Blackburn as pulling my car, or dragging me from my chair, or hauling me unresist- ingly about the room, or represent me as begging the proteciion of the committee, or or in any way depreciating Mr. Blackburn’s wrath, are untrue, 1he ebullition was more ludicrous than dangerous. Of course I un- derstand very well that some democrats wish to intimidate me, and failing in that, to de- grade me. To do this, it will be necessary for them to adopt some more effectual plan than that developed in the committee room on the 22d of February, or the next aay and thereafter in the democratic newspapers, which gave fictitious accounts of what had waken place.” Ao ALIRU Y Salt Lake Siftings.

The Venezuelans Grow Tired of Guznan-Blanco. PAUL CHOSEN PRESIDENT. DR. A Despot’'s Power Broken After s Quarter of a Century of Tyranny —Much Expected of the New Ruler. Victory for the People. New York, June 21.—~The Sun has ad- vicos from Caracas, Venezuels, under dato of June 10, stating that the first peaceful revolution that the ropublic has ever had has been accomplished. The reign of Guz nan-Blanco has ended. The military despot- ism that existed in Vonezuela for a quarter of a century is avolished, and there are con- stant demonstrations of gratification by all classes. b That the situation may be understood, it must be known that General Guznan-Blanco, since he first came into control of the government in 1870, has seomed to regard Venezuela as his own property, to do with as he desired. He has been the uncrowned czar, and his government an absolute despotism. Guznan-Blanco has filled the presidentiat chair every alternate term dur- ing the last nineteen years, and between timos has placed in power a dummy, who was entirely subject to his will. His many acts of tyranny ave awakened hostility that has only been suppressed by military force. Thwo years ugo, at the expiration of his presideatial term, ho left the country and has since resided in Paris. efore going ne gave himself credentials as envoy entraordinary aud minister pleni- potentiary to all Eurovean powers, He rluccu in'the presidential chair Dr. Bojas 2aul, one of the ablest citizens of the repub- lic, who had previously been prominent in public affairs for many years. During the past year the broach betiveen the president and dictator has been widening. President Paul, fearmg that Guzuan would incite a revolution, began some months ago to grad- ually deposo’ from thoir commands the leading oficers of tho army who were supposed to be in sympathy with the man in Paris and re- placed them with men in whom he had con- fidenco. This calicd out an insulting protest from Guznan, but Paul was sustained by the people and did not swerve from his course, A steamer which arrived from Europe on May 27 brought letters from Guznan to the president of such a character as to bring matters to a crisis. The following day Dr. Paul sent to congress his rosignation us pres- idont. Everyoue knew he had received letters from Paris and had been directed to do what he had done. As s00n as the fact was known the people closed their business and sur- rounded the capitol, and within an hour after his resignation was received 20,000 men were shouting themselves hoarse with denuncia- tions of Guznan and praise for Paul. That night the eotire population of Caracas gathered in the Plaza Washington, where they were addressed by several orators, who spoke the unanimous sentiment of the com- munity that President Paul should continue in office regardless of the demands of Guznan-tslanco. The following duy the pres- ident withdrew his resignation, and after passing a resolution of confidence in him con- gress adjourned in great baste. The intentions of Guznan are not known, but it is not thought probible he will allow Dr. Paul to remain in power iT Lie can pre- vent it.
