The Empire, London : People are beginning to mention Lord Cromer’s name in connection with the Vicerovalty of India. The present state of affairs does not seem to warrant the removal of Lord Cromer from Cairo, where he would be very difficult to replace. But should be leave Egypt, he would be more Ikely to accept the Governor-Generalship of Cans ada than the Viceroyalty of India, where the climate would probably prove too mucb for him.

tyranny under whch the Republic laboring aud the institutions of the country are receiving a severe blow. The people of France may soon ask themselves wheth

er Republicanism is worth having in name when the actual ruler is a military mob. Judging by the exciting events of the past few days in that remarkable country, it is not unlikely that Paris will soon be the scene of «ven more extraordinary incidents, For the past year a fermentation bas been going on and gradually the scum has come to the surface, It wil] need all the tact and fayacity of the statesmen ef the Republic to guide the ship of state sately through the impending storm.
