The list is not long, but it contains a notable array of men of national repute, and most of them are young. They cannot be com- pared to the “three tailors of Tooley street,” nor to the five doc-| trinaires of the French Revolution who gave out that they were six “in order to strike terror by their numbers.” These men have a fol- lowing as well as a cause. Their movement will not stop until it has crushed something or somebody. Virtually the league means a destruction of representative gov- ernment. That is what unchecked Republicanism has brought us to— sixteen years of trust legislation and trust control. It is time to make eehange. PossiBte 7 —_-+-__——_. MUST BEGIN RIGHT. R.

' saw Suc ATERRI Bue THING THiS MORNING BUSINESS i} It is gratifying to learn that while the conservatives oppose some of these measures they will not undertake to organize a revolt. A few standpatters may bolt, some rustic demagogue may denounce the corset coat and symmetrical trousers as evidences of an attempt to feminize mankind, but it is not believed they will affect the result in any city of importance, We may look forward, therefore, to something like the presen- tation of a new type of man simultaneously in all parts of Europe and America. He will be slim legged and chesty—a Chanticleer! —_—o th THE FRAGRANT HAVANA, USTOM HOUSE OFFICIALS believe the tobacco trade has been defrauding the Government in the matter of importations from Cuba. They say that whereas cigar manufacturers in order to have an output of pure Havanas must have at least six per cent. of their stock in “wrapper,” the figures show that importations, according to duties paid, were less than one. fifth of one per cent. wrapper. The officials conclude that wrapper has been imported under the disguise of an humbler name to evade daties. This view of the matter will surprise many. There has long been a suspicion in the land that the average “fragrant Havana” has not six per cent. of imported wrapper, but just the one-fifth of one per cent. actually shown in the duties, and that the rest comes from Connecticut. The announcement that this suspicion is probably ill founded will be received with mixed emotions, A few will rejoice that they have been getting a better smoke than they thought. Others will regret that they have been accusing a fellow man of defrauding etake, that @ feud between them ts maintained.

Mirabeau was one of the strangest figures {n all history; a mass | myriad contradictions, He was a great scoundrel ahd a greater patriot, inspired statesman and a petty grafter; dishonest in small matters incorruptible {n important affairs. He was the People’s champion agt Royalty; (meanwhile accepting bribes from Royalty itself), At the sai time he was Royalty's go-between with the People. His oratory and some of his writings seemed half divine. Other writin, jot his were so vile as to horrify even the easy-going French court. He did} almost more than any other man of his day to save his country, and he de-# | Voted his life to its service. Yet his private career was unspeakable, | He was stout, lame, awkward, loud-mouthed; fearfully disfigured by pox, Yet women went mad over him, and one committed| suicide when she fatled to hold his love, And he had magnetic charm that won the adoration and loyalty et] the land. The possession of half of his faults would have ay enough to condemn any ordinary man as a hopeless black-[ul} guar. Yet Mirabeau stands out as a hero, Warm hearted, impulsive, gay, ge0-| erous, brilliant, he had all the elements of @ popular idol. And if he used his power to further his own ends, he used it still more freely for the good of France. As a youth his disgraceful ecrapes led his father to put him in prison, There, off and on, he stayed for many years. As soon as ever he secured freedom new crime or folly would send him back to captivity. At last Mirabeau found himself at Ifberty and plunged into the tempestuou: politics of the day. His feflow-noblemen refused to receive him as one of them selves. So he enrolled himself as a leader of the common people. The French Revolution was slowly coming to a climax, The King (Loule XVI.) was weak and stupid; influenced by a corrupt and equally foolish court. The People had cast off their old-time yoke of oppression, but had not yet clearly decided just what they really wanted. Some of the more violent—like Marat and Robespierre and the "Jacobin Club’—clamored for the King’s death, the over+ throw of the monarchy and the establishing of a republic. The King's dos advisers, on the other hand (headed by the Queen, Marie Antoinette), wanted people's rights disreganted and the former era of despotic tyranny brought Between these two wide extremes were a dozen other factions, each advoo ite own favorite way of settling the affair, But daily the Royal party was ing weaker and the Jacobins stronger. Into this confusion strode Mirabe eed An Ugly Hero. . standing head and shoulders above He was the connecting link between the court and the people; straining the rage of the mob and urging the King to grant a full constttutt government.
