Monorchism
The manifesto of the count of Paris
fchowiuir the failure of republicanism in
France and urging the restoration of the
monarchical form of government has
been itself a failure. The people of
Fiance rcal the long document n they
read anything on polities with avidity
The count and his friends had placed
copies of the manifesto in the h inds of
the Legitimates all over France and at
a concerted moment these manifestations
were given out. I5ut the report from
Fails is that the count's bid for power
has been rejected by the very nu n, the
f legitamatists, who assisted in its promul
gation. The lionapartistists, on the
other hand, are reported as being favor
ably impressed by the manifesto.
In another column is printed u digest
of tho manifesto, lie reviews at great
length the cause of French polities since
the execution of Louis XVI. Taking
for a text that nothing but monarchism is
Suited to the wants of the French. On
this basis it shows how weak, changea
ble and unsatisfactorily has been the leg
islation of the nation. lie predicts an
other crisis more dredful than those
that have already injured me develop
ment of Fi ance and declares that the one
preventive to such a crisis is the tpuict
Rlid easy but speedy transition to the
ancient form of government.
lie argues on the same basis, that the
mere delegation of powers to the head of
a government does not give firnintss
Ile holds that the chief executive should
be held by a solemn compact in line
with the ancient traditions of the nation
lie shows that the king must be enlight
ened and guided ' by the assemblymen
and deputies, not enslaved. He proposes
a change in the voting of the budget,
making it in the form of a law and not
dependent on the whim of tlte deputies.
These three points arc the chief points
of his argument because they are directly
opposite to those upon which the French
republic is founded. They are also dia
metrically opposed to those upon which
this republic is founded. They interest
vis especially because the count of Paris
and the brilliant and courageous French
soldier who placed himself under the
command of General 5IcCi.kli.an are the
same person. It was also the count of
Paris who, after a study of our govern
ment prepared and published a work in
advocacy of a liberal constitutional mon
archy, a work, we believe still to be
found on the college shelves of this
country.
The lover of the young western repub
lic, the cnthuiastic friend of liberal gov
ernment, has now become a monarchist.
He wishes to see his country again under
the sway of a king. He hopes for the
coming of the deputies of the Supreme
Being. The deputies anointed to rule
over the people, to array themselves in
fine linen and to live in splendor in crys
tal palaces, lie waits for the restoration
of the aristocracy with it3 privileges and
rights. "What wrought this change in a
man so brilliant, . so promising? An
eastern paper cruelty states that twenty
years ago there was no thought in the
young soldier's breast of wearing a king
ly crown. But now he is the hope of the
Bourbons. If France choose a king the
Count of Paris will be the chosen one.
Truly this is cruel. But it may be none
the less true. The divine rights cf kings.
The unification of executive and legisla
tive power. The supreme control of the
revenues. Thesii are the ideas presented
in the manifesto, and these arc sugges
tions of a selfish heart. The increase of
power; that is the first wish of a selfish
man.
Cut without going into an examination
of the statements presented by the count
in support of his argument and nearly
all of them are mere statements without
foundation in fact and without looking
at the basis upon which he stands, name
ly, that the present form of government
is unsatisfactory to the French peoplp,
it may be well to say ihat this world is
moving onward. People of the count's
present disposition, with thoughts cen
tered upon themselves are apt to think
otherwise. But it is none the less true
that the development in Europe as well
as in America is in the direction of the
least government.
But the Bonopartists, whom the count
did not expect to please, have viewed
the manifesto with favor, so there an;
people in this country whose professions
are in line with these ideas. The labor
parties, for instance, which desire that
the government should own and main
tain the railroad and telegr ph systems
of the continent, which asks that the
government will say how many hours a
day a man shall work, which seeks the
mediation of the government in the dis
putes between the employer aud the em
ployee; the socialist who believes in the
fatherhood of the government and that
he must be nip: 'lied with emplopmr-nt.
food and clothing by the government.
The prohibitionists who attempt to main
tain that It is tho duty of the government
to fix a standard of morality and compel
each mau to conform thereto. These are
some of the monarchists of this country.
It would be well for all these people to
learn that government is not an engine
to gratify vanity, for the maintainancc
of paupers or for the regulation of con
duct. In short there are many people
who have yet to learn that the procession
is moving forward not backward. Ne

The intimation of the Philadelphia
American tint the president secretly
assisted Randall at the Pennsylvania
state convention is not altogether un
worthy of consideration. In the con
test which has been waged between the
Handallites and the Scott free-trade
faction of the democracy, the general
opinion, both in and out of Pennsylvania
and among republicans and democrats,
has been that the sympathy and support
of Mr. Cleveland ha been with the. free
traders. There has been much in the
recent political developements in that
state to give plausibility to that view.
In the most important federal appoint
ments in the state it was Scott rather
than Randall who was favored by the
president. And in the contest against
Randall previous to the convention, in
newspapers and caucuses, it was gener
ally understood that Scott represented
the administration. When Randall
ganied his great victory in the platform
which the convention adopted, it was
heraled throughout the country by per
sons of all shades of political belief as a
decided set-back for the president.
When it is borne in mind that many,
if not most, of the federal officials who
took part in the convention were sup
porters of Randall, it is easy enough to
believe that Mr. Cleveland was not so
bitterly hostile to the protectionist chief
as he has been popularlysupposcd to
be. At least it i3 reasonable to suppcv
that these officials would hardly ha
the temerity, while violating the spirit
of th" c'r' Ci"vV(i lw mid trampling
the picsiiieiii o ... 1. 1 .:' i . . !";': idcrs
under foot, to supplement these delin
quencies by making open war upon the
president's revenue policy in the mostjim
portant political convention of the year.
The episode in which Republican Dis
trict Attorney Stone, of Pennsylvania,
and Demociatic District Attorney Benton,
of Missouri, figured last year, and the les
son which that episode contains, is fresh
in the mind of every federal office
holder. No one of these gentlemen
will be likely to forget during the pres
ent administration that the injunction
against pernicious political activity ap
plies only to the political opponents of
the president.
The utterances of the democracy in the
states in which conventions have been
held this year were even more than usu
ally varigated when touching on the
leading national issues. Broadly stated,
Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa favoreI mak
ing a general assault on the tariff, leaving
internal taxes virtually unchanged. Vir
ginia and some other states took the op
posite ground; Maryland makes war upon
civil-service reform, while New York and
Massachusetts will undoubtedly declare
in favor of the rigid enforcement of the
law on that matter. To all this pictur
esque political diversity Mr. Cleveland
has given his assent. The intimation that
he secretly favored Randall aud thus gave
his indorcement to a modified species of
protection in Pennsylvania, therefore, can
hardly be said in itself, to do violence to
the probabilities.
The political instability reveals one of
the cardinal defects of the democracy a
a party. Taking the whole country to
gether, it stands on every side of every
question which has more than one side.
The partisan shiftiness and shuffling
which Mr. Cleveland displays he shares
with the majority of the leaders of the
political organization to which he belongs
What his real convictions are on the tariff
question nobody has, so far as learned,
ever been able to discover. It is reason
ably certain, however, that at heart his
sympathies are with Carlisle, Morrison
and the larger section of the party in de
votion to free trade. To make himself
acceptable to the party and secure re-election,
he is compelled to advocate in one
state the policy which he condemns in
another. The ability to indorse Watter
son and Randall at tiie same time calls
for a high order of political aerobacy.
But there are good reasons for believing
that the president has been equal to the
emergency. Globe Pern oera t.

No Kicking.
Two years ago a good many democrats
scattered over these broad prairies and
hills, were going to revolutionize in a
jiffy the tariff over to a "revenue only"
basis, and as a preliminary to that trifling
feat they proposed "to kick Ham Randall
out of the democratic part y."
The goose was hanging high for the
"reformers," as it were and Henry Wat
tcrson, of the Louisville, Ivy., Cotirur
Journal used language to that effect
from day to day. Carlisle had just been
re-elected speaker of the house, and Bill
Morrison appointed chairman of the
ways and means committee.
But Samuel J. Randall has the "rev
enue reformers" in his pocket, for by the
most minute inspection of the rankes of
the democratic party fails to reveal any
vacancy in the place occupied by Sain
Randall t wo years ago.
The inspection reveals certain
suggestive transformations on thr side of
the free trade reformers. Frank Ilurd,
the reformer who was specially anxious
to have Sam Randall kicked out, has
fallen over tho precipiece of defeat at the
polls. Bill Morrison himself, who had
actually ordered a job lot of boots to be
used by the reformers on Sam Randall's
posterior, ay as hurled over the same prec
ipice which was so fatal to Frank Kurd.
And Carlisle is hanging by tho finger
nails over the sharp verge of the cleffs,
and whether he shall be rescued or al
lowed to fall on the rocks below is actu
ally a question for the house of represen
tatives to decide.
Talk of kicking Sam Randall out of
the party! Why, if Mr. Carlisle should
be obstreperous Sam Randall could with
a straw push him out of congress. Why,
if the free trade reformers should at
tempt to bind Randall by caucus rule to
a free trade bill, he could by crooking
his little finger wrench the organization
of the house of representatives itself
away from them.
All this goes to show that SamRandall
knc.i' what he was talking about when
he said a few days ago he "had no com
promise to make with Mr. Carlisle."
The blustering of Johnny Bull about
the freedom of Behring's Sea to all flags
encajred in seal fishing, so long as they
do not get inside of three miles of the
land belonging to Uncle Sam, is not of
course to be understood as militating
against any similar claims of his own.
The pearl fisheries of the gulf of Manar
and off Australia are instances in which
Mr. Bull will not be governed by this
theory. Off Manar none of the pearl
shoals are within eight miles of the shore
and some are as distaant as sixty miles,
but Johnny allows no other nation poach
upon them. A similar state of affairs
exists in the Australian pearl fisheries.
Uncle Sam may therefore keep a stiff
upper lip and beat Johnny by citing his
own precedents. The main basis of the
clain of of the United States to regulate
and c ontrol the seal fisheries in Behring's
sea is, that when Russia owned Alaska
and the Aleutian islands, the light to
these fisheries was conceded her by trea
ties. When she transferred title to the
United States there was no reservation of
of fishery rights and they of course went
with the rest, and the United States has
at no time conceded the right of fishing
there to the subjects of any foreign pow
er. She cannot do so without conceding
the right of foreign fishermen to ruin the
seal industry in those islands. Lincoln.

his wanton cruelty, luxurious debauchery

the hatred c f many of his subjects, and
having poisoned his half brother, Brittan

estates among his p.artizans the senators

SOCIAL CUTTHROATS.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A COTERIE
OF NEW YORK MASHERS.
TFoll DroaHrd Ietroyer Who Kwp
Oulet About Their Villainy Tho Manlier
with the White Lock Dully Hound of
a Skillful Operator.
"Ho belongs to a
York men," said the
curious set of New
ju(h;e. "They nre
creatures of u recent growth, and I doubt
very much if similar specimens of tho
genus man can be found anywhere else in
tho world. They are called 'mashers' in
n general way, but they are In no sense
like thu gorgeous Ijomlon man who has
Riven the word 'masher' its highest mean
ing. The British 'masher' isacreuturo
of noble apparel, solemn and dissipated
air, advanced degrees iu the courts of
bankruptcy and general impressiveness.
He wears a great many suits of clothes
during tho week, uilects a burlesque
cctress and drives dashing traps.
The little circle of mashers in New
York has none of these proclivities. They
are men who have lived on the surface of
the town for many years, whoso names
are familiar in all of tho restaurants and
clubs, and who have gained in ono way
er another reputations as tlayers of femi
nine hearts, which stand them in enor
mous value. They aro not in society,
sneer at tho idea of toll, live in tho best
possible manner, dress quietly, and nre
absolutely mum about tho numerous
affairs in which they pass their lives. I
know a dozen men in this particular
crowd, but I never knew ono of them to
break the rules of the peculiar free
masonry which apparently exists among
them to keep quiet about their escapades.
This is the most curious feature of tho
whole thing. A masher who does not
talk when success has crowned his efforts
would bo a rarity anywhere else except
in this extraordinary coterie. They are a
queer lot, and I can't say that I consider
them a credit to the city."
It affords a droll study of human
nature to watch the operations of the
mashers. Most of their face3 nro U3
familiar to up town people as tho Fifth
Avenuo hotel. Their mode of life is sim
ple. Take, for instance, a cold and austere
man, with a blonde mustache, a regular
proflle, square shoulders and careless car
riage, who has been more or less famous
about town for fifteen years. He has a
scar running diagonally across his fore
head, and just above it is a single lock or
"splash" of hair that is as white as
snow, though tho rest of his hair is dark.
I have heard it enviably remarked by
other mashers that this gentleman's chief
success is due to tho immobility of his
face, the yellowness of his mustache, tho
whiteness of the splash and the dark mass
of hair which throws it into such sharp
relief. He is, in fact, known as "His
Contrasts" in some quarters. Fifteen
years ago a woman followed him in a cab
down Fifth avenue, slipped out as he
ascended the steps of a rival's
house, ran up tho steps, and pushing a
revolver against his head, blazed away.
The bullet, instead of going through the
skull, ran across the forehead. Sho went
to Europe in the arms of her amiable
husband, and "His Contrasts" retired
into painful obscurity for a time. Five
years after that he was mixed up in a
row which is still talked about by old
timers. It was a three cornered fight
ono woman and two men in the cabin of
a yacht in tho lower bay. When they
dragged "His Contrasts" out he was
pretty well knocked to pieces. Two ribs
were broken, and his general physical
welfare very sensibly impaired, but he
came up smiling, as usual. I have known
him for many years. He has but one
object in life.
His manner of living varies little from
day to day. I have hail many opportuni
ties for observing him, as wo once had
neighboring apartments in the same hotel,
and" he used to amuse himself when he
had an occasional half hour of leisure
from his arduous duties by turning the
pictures in my room wrong side foremost,
bribing the chambermaid to sew the
hangings into all sorts of grotesque posi
tions, littering my desk with violent tele
grams and indulging in various other
cheerful and endearing pranks. At 10
o'clock every morning tho chambermaid
pounded loudly at his door.
If the tattoo was loud enough the door
would open suddenly, there would be a
wild scream and a pattering of feet as the
chambermaid scudded out of danger, and
the masher would rush out into the hall
clad in pajamas, bath robes, nightcap, felt
slippers, and carrying a sponge tlc size cf
a bushel basket. He would then wander
in a more or less desultory way toward the
bathroom, stopping to pound on doors that
caught his lightsome fancy, and shying
boots through the transoms of rooms
where men lived who had the distinguished
misfortune to possess his friendship.
About an hour and a half later he
would wander into the main dining room
of the hotel, cast his experienced eye over
the people assembled there and eat a very
light breakfast. He wore a frock suit all
day long, aud his tailor made half a dozen
a year for him. After breakfast he in
variably lighted a big cigar, and. if the
weather was clear, strolled up Fifth
avenue as far as Central park, and smiled
amiably upon the troops of pretty girls
who were out with their governessses,
nurses, companions, and chapcrones, tak
ing the morning air. Every girl over 10
years of age apparently knew his history,
for they would stare at him and peep
over their shotilders as he passed, in a
fashion that would startle a society actor.
At half past 1 or 2 o'clock he drifted
slowly into Delmonico's, scanned the
faces, acknowledged the surly nods cf
other mashers with a short inclination of
his head, picked out his table w ith undevi
ating skill, and spent the next two or
three hours among the wives and daugh
ters of other men who were down town
pursuing the elusive dollar. His habit is
to eat slowly, and look, with a gentle and
melancholy air, from one pair of pretty
eyes to another.
If the portraits of the handful of men
who are a constant subject of talk among
the women of New York were published
they would cause a robust and decisive
sort of derision. The majority cf them
are anything but resplendent or attract
ive. If there is a professional matinee, a
picture sale, an art exhibition, a boat
race, a crack horse auction, dog show,
horse show or circus going on in the after
noon, the masher is as sure to be there as
the ticket seller. At night he dines at
the Brunswick, Delmonico's or the Hoff
man house, but never in the cafe. In
this way day after day passes without the
slightest deviation. The mashers all
know each other, they frequent the same
i places, they are popular with men and
j pursued by women, and yet the occasions
j are exceedingly rare when they are c.illcd
i to account. They are adroit and hold
I their tongues, and perhaps it is therein
1 that their safeguard lies. New York Sun.

Development of tlio Trotter.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, like many
other southern men, is an admirer and
lover of fine horseflesh. He was going
the other clay to run over to the trotting
races at Hartford when he said: "It must
eventually come about that the trotting
races will be popular, because it Is in this
gait that the horse combines utility with
speedy action. It i3 as the roadster that
the horse is most available for pleasure
and practical service. In a recent article
written by Judge Hughes, of Richmond,
I saw a theory advanced in reference to
the development in the trotting gait which
I think I have not seen mentioned before.
The thoroughbred animal is to be found
on the great plains and level stretches of
the country, where his natural gait is
running. The trotting gait, Judge Hughes
thinks, comes to the animal as he is trans
ferred to undulating countries, where he
is obliged to adapt his footing to rising
and failing thoroughfares. That would
Ikj the natural development cf the run
ning thoroughbreds into the trottera. It
is, of course, to the thoroughbreds that
we must go for the best stock for the de
velopment of trotters aa well as runners."
