THE CLOUD OYER FRANCE.
THE PRESENT SITUATION THE
MOST ALARMING SINCIi THE
CLOSE OF THE WAR WITH
GERMANY.
NO ONE LEFT TO C NTR L THE POPULACE
since oambetta’s death—socialism
A GROWING F-RCE AND No ONE To COPE
WITH IT.
i From the Resident Correspondent of the World ,
London, Jan. 25.—W fie fu r with
i good or bad reason, public opiuion
in this country luoiines suougty to
the belief tnat another revolution is
brewing iu Franc.-. People who nave
intimate relations with leading uieu
in Palis look upon the present situa
tion as by far the tin sn alarming
which has been witnessed since ihe
close of the war with Germany. It
may be, of course, that these appre
hensions ot danger may prove exag
gerated, or altogether unrounded;
tnat the signs of a storm whicn ate
now iu the sky may disperse before
any harm is done, and that every
thing may go on as before. But this
is not the result looked tor by surewd
and well-informed observers. They
anticipate another period of "up
heaval,” and they believe that the
disorder which prevailed not long
ago in Lyons will prove but the pra
cuisor of still more serious disorder
in Paris. There is scarcely a man
icquiiuted with the preseat condi
tion of affairs in the Fieucn capital
who proteases to look upon the pros
pect immediately before the people
without profound misgiving.
The raet is that the death ot Gatn
betta has thrown everything into
cha -s. He was not perhaps a first
rate statesman, hut he kne w how to
manage his ouunuytneu. The popu
lace had faith iu him, and there was
a vogue belief ihat some day or
other fie would do something very
grand for bis county. Immense
possibilities were associated with
Gambeita’s name. He had m de no
very deliuite promises, but peruaps
this only created the public faith in
his ability to serve tnem. It was
understood perfectly well, for in
stance, tnat any project for recover
iog the lest provinces of Alsace and
Lorrance must be kept secret until
tbe nation was ready to strike, and
therefore no one expected Gambetta
to cutne forward and acknowledge
that some such design was in his
mind. The buikof tne people, es
pecially iu the rural disuics, fin ally
believed that ibe man who delay
ed tbe dual victory of G rma
uy for at least ex mouths
would, in one season, in
flict heavy retiiou ion upon tbe
enemy. VV’e can now ees mat Gam
oetta was not a strong oiao, imel
lec ualiy or puysica ly ; that he hos
uo definite purpose before biui. and
no firm beliet either in himself or
in the future. Ho attached an undue
dtgiee of linpoitano-i to bis famous
project of scrutin de hale, and when it
wan oefeated be grea ly exaggeia'ei
his dt feat. Everybody who raw nim
ia-t year declared that ho was much
depressed fn spirits, and tbat hu
references to political questions were
alway s made eitber in a spirit of ir
inability oi otdespoudenoy. He saw
a mountain in every molehill. Tbe
. lerical party alarmed him, and be
declared Wal to the kuile agaii st ft.
He wis afraid of the Legitimists, or
•he Orleauisis, of the B mapartiefs,
and protested that ihey and tne re
public could no' exist ou the same
soil together. It is that article of
his fal..u which now seems to h ive
taken a Uim hold up in tne popular
mind.
Prince Nap.leon, by the issue of
his beuselcsa manifesto, bHSsnccted
ed in precipitating the crisis wnicti
M. Gambetta long foresaw, and w<s,
perhaps, not unwilling to create. His
imptieoument is a matter of lit le or
no cjusequence, but the blow which
he has provoked falls upon herds
wiser and more innocent than his
owd. All thejpiinces and members of
the royal families are to be. proscribed
according to present appearances,
and some of them at least have done
nothing to deserve this harsh decree.
Towards the cloß9 of last summer I
described to you tbe magnificent
chateau which theDucd’Aumale has
erected at Chantilly and filled with
he choicest Leisures of literature
and art. Iu going through it at the
time one could not help thinking
tba trie duke bad a confidence in
the stability of order which the his
tory of France during the last ninety
years scarcely teemed ro wairaut.
At one time he kept ad hi 3 most v .1-
uab e p jtsassions iu England, woere
at any tat-tu-y Wire sale. Chantilly
is not rar from Paris, and if tbe pres
ent fever which rages among tbe pop
ulace assumes a more virulent form,
it is probable tbat the duke would
nave cause to wi=h that the priceless
books, pictures and furniture were
ooce more iu the quiet and secure re
treat at Twickenham.
The fall of M. DucSere’s mlais ry
would not be much regretted by tbe
Eoglisa government, whi h has of
late found itself gettiug entangled in
a 8 rnewbat awkward position. M.
Gambetts, like Napoleon 111., muli
up bis mied to stick to the E iglisb
alliance, come wriat might, hut M.
Duclerc was apparen ly determined
to go on the other lack. No doubt
tbe circumstances hid changed. Tne
in'erferance of Eugland in Egypt has I
stirred up a very bitter feeling in j
France, and now tbat the Fieneb |
peopie tee that Mr. Gladst n- is in
no haste to witndraw, anl that his |
promises mean no more than his
promises generady have done, the.r
anger does not by anv ruea s dimin- I
iso. T ey feel that French interests]
in Erypt are neucrferwarl to be
reckoned second aud Eng ten intei- i
ests first. Tr e view i bey nave always j
taken is that Eagl-.n i had no rignt !
to bombard Alexandria aud that it j
commi te i a hr acb of faith n t-kmg j
possession of Egvpt. To be sure, a ue j
asked France to j iu h rani Frarce
refused ; but the French people have
never admitted that tuis ju-tified;

In this view they may be rigbt or'
wong, but it is cet'ain that they 1
hold to it with great tecaeity and
that it is continually giving rise ro a i
detper st n im nt of postility. Os this
sentiment M. Duel -re se*-ms to have J
been quite ready to make himself tne ;

but the pe’ty iotrgu- sos French

It would be almost impossible to
look seriously on such a turn in af
fairs as this. “What the country
wants te tranquility,” says tbe cor
t respondent iu question. Everybody
1 1 e«n see that, but no one is able to ia
s dicat.- the road to tranquility. As
sured y it cannot be touud by any at
tempt to place any ot tne candidates
tor imperial or loyal honors on the
throne of Fiance. And it maybe
1 doubted whetner the expulsion ot
1 these personages from tue country
’ would lead to tne desired end,
5 There are people iu France as well
' as in England who beii. ve tbat the
1 present trouble will lead, sooner or
' later, to the overthrow of the repub-
I lie. They maiuiain tbat there can
’ be no permanent security for any in
• stitution?, no guarantee even for law
aud order, under a republic as re
' publics are conducted in France.
: But. ibis tea delusion. I have heard
' in France the greatest discontent ex
-1 pressed with tue republic, aud the
utmost scorn of the feeble ministries
whicn have successively tried to
govern. But the majority of the
people, there te no room to doubt,
firmly believe iu the republic and
1 would make any sacrifices to prevent
its overthrow. They have had
enough ot the Bourbons, far too
mucu of the Bonapartists. It is true
that the Parisians sometimes regret
Napoleon 111., and declare that they
were never so prosperous as under
his rule. The working classes found
ready employment, the tradesmen
made a golden harvesr. But Paris is
cot France, although it is a good
1 deal more of iu ban the mere capi
tal. In the provinces the name of
Napoleon is only associated witn the
greaest disasters aud humiiia
-1 tious which ever fell upon
the land. But once, at least, it was
a name to cotnmaud a certain sort of
1 respect. But when it is linked with
Plon-Pion, what, can France—what
1 can ihe world —do but look on and
laugh? Had the young Prince Im
peiial lived there might some day
have been a laint chance for the re
vival of iumeriaiism,but there is none
now. At tne same time it must be
admitted that there is much to be
done before it ran be said tbat the
republic is established on a durable
foundation. Socialism is a growing
force there, as it is everywhere eLe
on this side of the Atlantic, and
there is no B stnarck to cope with it
iu France. The wo k begun in 1789
is still going on. It may possibly be
that, the nation is ou tbe eveof an
other revoiu ion. hut uo one who is
not blind to the teachings of history
can b- lieve that the issue of it. would
he another einpetor or king. The
French people sadly need a Rreat
m in, but what they need juit as
much is a little more constancy to
their own principles, a little more
fidelity to sued men as they h ive.
Without this they will find them
selves h< pelessiy adrift on a stormy
sea, a source of disquietude to their
friends and of exultation to their ene
mies. _L J. J.

Rich Men’s Gif.s.
Mr Peck, of Milwaukee, is a versa
tile man and when he propounds a
tueorv it is unique if not always log
ical. Toe following is a side view that
he has taken of ciose-fisted iicb men :
There Is one thing that gives rich
people the reputation of being stingy
tnat they are not to blame for. They
dare not give much money to charit
able purposes, for fear tney will be
oVrrruu witn applicants. It is a sin
gular thing, but if Vaoderbilt should
giveaway a huudnd thousand dol
lars in onarity, be would not be able
to get into his house or office without
running over dozeua of people witn
subscription papets and schemes. If
Gould should give away halt a mil
lion dollais to charity his life would
become a buraen to bim from the
flocks of bom st people and dead
beats who would haunt him. Rich
men prefer to give money through
other parties, quietly and unknown,
and go ihrougu life looked upon as
stingy than place themselves iu a po
fcitiou to be annoyed to death with
applications. The most or the rich
men in this country, who are looked
upon as very hoggish, give away
lirge quantities or money, ou the
sly.

Georgia’s Banking Capital.
The banks of Georgia have just
finished making their semi annual
reports to the governor, from which
we learn that the banking priviles
in the state are controlled by 91
banks and bankers—22 state chat
tered banks, 14 national banks, the
remaining 57 being private bankers
and agencies. The governor has
nothiDg to do with the private bank
ers or banks or the national banks.
Only the state banks report to bim.
In i 877 there were 77 banks and
bankets altogether in the state.
The increase has been in
the s>x years 14 banks. There were in
1877 35 state banks aud now there aie
only 22—a decrease ot 13. There
seems to be a steady tendency to
close the state banks. They cannot
issue bills as they coul l before the
war, nor as the national banks can
now. They have constantly filled
or stopped business until there are
two-fifths less in six years. The na
tional banks numbered 11 in 1877,
and 12 now —an increase of one.
Priva'e bankers have grown from 13
in 1877, to 57 now, an increase ot 26,
or nearly 100 per cent. The staie

The private bankers are not re

and publicity that the State bauks
are. ihe semi-annual showing,as the
state law demands, nuts the actual

the people, and there are attached
heavy penalties to disobedience. The
bank register makes the capital back
of our banks aud bankers $19,965,000.
and does not give the capital of 43
private bankers. Tbe 12 national
bauks in Georgia have $2 323,000 cap

$3 050,000 capital and the 3 largo cor
poration banks above mentioned
aggregate $13,250,000 of capital.

PILES,
PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and low
er part of the abdomen, causing the pa
tient to suppose he has some affection of
the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptons of indigestion are pre
sent, as flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira
tfon, producing a very disagreeable itch
ing, particularly at night after getting
warm in bed, is a very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itehicg Piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko’s
Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon
the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the lutense itching, and effecting
a permanent cure, where all other reme
dies have failed. Du not delay until the
drain on the system produces permanent
disability, but try It and be cured. Prlee
50 cents. S >nt p-e-pald on receipt of price,
