(Chicago Record ) The conviction of Dreyfas and the method of his punishment, the vio- lence of controversy over this inci- dent in French history and the sen- sational developments of the hour present a strange commentary on the polities of France, The stability of the ministry is imperiled and the ap parent attitude of a large number of thinking persons in France gi devee of another of those foreboding changes of publie opinion which have made so kaleidoscopic the history of the nation since the aboli tion of the old monarchy. The third republic is the Seventh regime since 1792, It has existed for twenty-eight years, ten years longer than any of the other six, the monarchy of July and the second empire each having covered a space of eighteen years, The first repub: lic under its various phases ruled from 1792 until the proclamation of the empire in 1804. The first Na- poleonic empire was in existence for ten years. The government of the restoration endured until 1830, being sueveeded by the monarchy of Louis Philippe, which was overtaroed in 1848 and followed by the second re- public. The second experiment in popular goveromeot was terminated by the December, 1851. The third re- pnb'ie was established in 1870 on the ruins of the second Napoleonic em- pire. From M. Thiers’ resignation of the presidency in 1873 until the present time there have been thirty- five ministries, counting that of M Brisson, the average life of each be- ing less than nine months. Withia comparatively recent years we have seen France shaken by the Panama affair, the Boulangist move ment and the scandal of sale of med- als of the Legion of Honor. Now the army is assailed by charges of con- spiracy, which are given color by the suicide of Lieut, Col, Henry and insinuations agaist the higher offi cials of the military establishment In bis recent philosophic study of ‘France’? Mr. Jobn Edward Bodley observed that ‘whatever else is open o criticiem now in the nation, the arwy, in spite of isolated scandals, is exempt from the ills which deface po litical or fashionable society. France gradually seems to be los- ing its caste among nations. Ip »mmerce it has been outstripped by Germany.

The Panama scandal re- vealed corruption of the government- al establishment and only the army has remained unsullied. ‘The for years has been filled almost constant- ly with seurrility and recrimination which now rises to a din.

A reporter for the Chicago Redord se- cured from him an interview, of which the following is a part: “What is the truth about the relations of the Germans in the Phil- ippimes with the natives and the Americans ? “The conduct of the Germans has been in strong contrast with that of the English, who have been friendly and are in the most amiable relations with our people. ‘+How is this conduct displayed ?”’ “The Germans have never given the ordinary courtesies of salutation, while the English reeognize Manila Bay a8 an American port.
