Constitution a Compromise,
Aaldo from this, the granting of the
constitution to the annexed provincea
contains very little to create liberal
enthusiasm.' - The act Itself' shows too
plainly that it 1 tho affect of a com
promise. The election district .have
been gerrymandered to 'edit the wishes
of th clericals, the flrat chamber will
be absolutely in the power of Prussia
and finally, the fact that the governor
of the provinces may be deposed at any
time completely does away with Alsace-
Lorraine's chances of carving out Its
own destiny. A a matter of fact, the
constitution can by no means be con
sidered a final aot; it is simply a modus
vivendL-which may draw the people of
the provinces closer to th empire, but
which at the same 'time defere abso
lute autonomy Into a very distant fu
ture, Germany is therefore apt to find
out before very lone; that a aham federal
state In Its midst is even more difficult
to deal with than a conquered but un
conciliated people.
The controversy which has raged
around the constitution teachee a plain
lesson in regard to the expensive power
of Germany. The faculty of conciliat
ing and assimilating conquered people
has evidently no place in the political
character, of tha German -nation, and
this fact In Itself Is enough to prevent
the country from ever becoming a great
colonial power.

Pari. June 17. The new war min
ister. General Oolran, 1 a v aJ Ian r sol
dier, who ha seen a good deal of serv
ice and 1 noted for hla skill in han
dling troop. W ha chosen by M.
Monls, th premier, and though he wa
not at all anxious to go to tho war of
flee, he consented to accept th port
folio.
A number of radical and radical-so
cialist deputies are not satisfied with
th eeleotlon. contending that th post
should bo filled by a civilian. They
alio objected to the appointment on the
ground that the general' brother for
merly commanded an army corps tn
Italy. It waa M. Leon Bourgeois who
disposed of these objections. M. Bour
geota' opinion carries great weight He
pointed out that General Oolran's re
publicanism, wa beyond reproach, and
that the fact that the general' broth
er wa formerly one of th military
chief In Italy did not count, la view
of the excellent relation now oxlatlng
oeiween too two oountrte.
General Oolran is 14 year of age,
was captured In the battle of Sedan and
received the erds of th Legion of
Honor In consideration of th part he
piayea in me maneuver in 190. Th
general came In for high ' praise on
that occasion. Trom th atrataglo
point of view, you have played your
part marvelously," said th general
issimo. you have handled your, ar
tillery In a remarkable manner. . All
your maneuver were admirably con
ducted." After high praise of this sort
Frenchmen may at any rate congratu
late tnemseivee that there 1 a prac
tical man at th war office,.
toroooaa Affair Quiet.
The practical protectorate established
by Franco over Morocco ha been very
cleverly and bloodlesaly don. Of oours
th real aweeplng up procos haa now
to begin. The Zaer and other turbu
lent tribesmen are to be brought to
book, and the route, that France has
driven through the country at the cost
of millions 1 to b opened to all the
world. One of the project of the
French program 1 to form a Sheereflan
army with th element already as
sembled under French officers. Thla
will be a properly drilled and equipped
force, which will strike fear Into the
most warllk and intractable breast.
But suppose eorae day th French
march out of Fes and out of Morocoo,
what become of th tiny army? Will
It fad away or will It become a dan
ger to those who taught It? The ar
th secret of the Sphinx -of Berlin.
In any case the sultan' army la to
b furnished with French guna, with
French artillerymen to Serve them. It
la a matter of common knowledge that
French arms had been sold to th
Moor tn large quantities during th up
rising. It is declared that one com
pany ha at It head a prominent poli
tician, and that It haa been particularly
active in selling discarded rifle to the
Insurgent subject of Mulal Hafld.
Whatever may be the precise truth of
these allegation, it Is dear that a new
morrow Is dawning for this Strang and
chaotlo empire a morrow fraught with
possibilities of all sorts.
And th Publlo Pay.
In any trouble between capital and
labor or between the PI so and a ..par
ticular category of taxpayers, It 1
alway th publlo that pay. A case
In point was th 14 hour strike of the
chauffeur. There was .not. a. motor
taxi to be had in Paris for a whole
day, as a protest against the rise in
the petrol tax, which ha reduced the
earning of th men from an average
of even franc a day to aomething
quit insignificant Th official really
responsible lor tne new ecuoi is mo
prefect of the Seine, but, doubtless, he
ha no need of auto taxis; in any case.
he Is not likely to do errectea over
much by this suspension of labor of the
gallant 8000 who make up th taxi army ,
here. . " '
"If," say the chauffeurs, "we do not
get satisfaction w snail sinice again,
on ft will be serious thla time," Yes,
it wtn ha aerious but only for the pub
it hn riH in the taxis: they will
hav to nav more for the privilege.
There 1 no other solution. Tho tax
will be persisted In; the town must have
money and by tne cnange n gains
eral millions of francs a year but the
tariff marked on ' the dial will be In
creased; Instead of commencing with 76
centimes we shall, perhaps, have to pay
a irnu.
