The Republic has a Chief Magistrate once more, and all possibility of in trigues, Socialist or dynastic, has been put aa end to for(the present. Tho new; Pxxsioxxt is not very widely known to the outside world, but the part which he has played in the domestic politics of his country is respectable, and had earned for him the cordial esteem of his colleagues. M. Faces, who is 54 years of age, cannot boast that political traditions are hereditary in bis family, as they were in the families of his predecessors, M. Caxxot and M.

WABUUB fEKixs. lie lias risen by his own exertions from a humble origin to a consider able social position. He is a native of Paris, but baa long been settled in Havre, where he established himself as a shipowner, and became President of the Chamber of Commerce. He served the office of deputy mayor during the terrible year 1870, and assisted as captain of the gardes mobiles in quelling the Paris Commune. M.

Faces continued to confine his attention to local objects until 1670, when he was an unsuc cessful tandidate for the representation of Havre. He was returned for that town in 1881, and the fact that he has sat for it continuously since that date is a gratifying proof of the hi eh re card in hich he is held by those who ought to know; him beat. Immediately after his election to the Chamber ho was nominated Under Secretary for Commerce and the Colonies in the Administra tion of Gahbxtta, and he was appointed to the same office under the Cabinets of M. Jclxs Fxeet in 1883, M. Bexssox in 1SS5, and M.

Tieabd 1887. Last May ho attained, fcr the first time, toTthe dignity of a portfolio, being created Minister of Marine in the Dcrcr Cabinet. In Parliament M. Faces has acquired a solid reputation as a good man of business. While he has naturally shown a particular interest in those questions connected with the colonies arid the foreign commerce of France which are intimately related to the shipping industry, he has also been selected to act upon several committees dealing with matters of trade and financo of a more general kind, such as the Railways Committee and the Committee on the Conversion of the uente.

The result of the voting teems to have been expected in Paris yesterday morning. Until Wednesday evening M. WaLSZcx RocssxAtr was understood to be the real candidate of the Moderates, while it was supposed that M.

Facxx had been put up merely to make the running against M. Bxxssox, the formidable nominee of the Radicals scd the Socialists. It is raid that the final determination of the Moderates to support M. Faces in earnest was determined by the newspaper attacks made on' their original choice by the section of the Paris Press which had conducted the too successful campaign of calumny against M. Casous Pxeizs.

It may be pointed out, on the other hand, that M. Faces was the man whom the Dcrcr iaoinet aesirea to pit against ju. uxissox as their candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber the other day a circumstance which seems to indicate that the Ministers, st all vents, thought him the most formidable competitor whom they could oppose to the Radical leader. The first ballot showed at once the relative strength of the two Moderate candi dates. M.

Faces obtained 244 votes, M. Wauxcx Rocssxac185, and M. Bxissox 338. This last firure is significant. It ia.

the highest reached by an unsuccessful candi date lor the Presidency lor twenty years. On the announcement of the numbers M. Waldxcx Rocssxac at once withdrew, and begged his supporters to give, their votes to M. Faces. The result of the second baljot showed that the Moderates of all shades had loyally stood by the partycandidate.

Tea. 4, ib eve of the opening of Parliament, a his residence ia Arliagtoa streaty Summonses have been issued for a Cabinet Council to meat at Do waiar atrect at balf paSt 2 o'clock oa Monday next. Sir Joseph Renals, the Lord Mayor, who 14 1 1 Vl 1 Mw IWMUUJ JmmKmmimj UN JU CWie" qaaace.to preside either at the meeting of tu Cosmos Council or at the dinner at the Maasioa bouse ia the erening, will, by order of his doctor, leave town to dsy loc Bsstiags for a week's rest aad quirt. There it nreration twentw Vfara airol whn hA mrriveA ought to be yery much obliged.to at biti prefent coarictions, all financial diffi culty would have been averted. In that case a great many other things would have fallen out differently, and the1 actual con dition of affaire would have been some what different from what any one can now imagine.

But however these things may be, the Council of tho Rational Liberal Federation. In hijujeeclL to. his constituent last night he apologized for referring to the wearisome Home Rule controversy, on the ground that, though every one is thoroughly sick of the sub ject, though Radicals themselves have ceased to believe in it as a cure for Irish troubles. and though the Government would be only too glad to escape from the necessity of dealing with it, yet it remains and must remain an essential part of the Government programme: The reason'is' plain. It is that the Home Rule members are and must remain an indispensable portion of the party on which wo Government relies for support, and that their allegiance can be purchased at no other price.

While. Ms. Baxtocs was thus expounding the situation in East Manchester, and drawing the obvious moral that, however Gladstonian candidates may affect to ignore Home Rule, it ought never to be absent from the thoughts of any man who values the in tegrity of the Empire, the Council of the National Liberal Federation was passing at Cardiff a resolu tion which emphatically corroboratea everything he The Council declares'that the cause of Homo Rule for Ireland still holds the fore "Liberal party, and further records its deter sanation to overcome the obstruction of the House of Lords, the only obstacle which has prevented the Home Rule Bill passed by the ITnnan nf fmm Kointr trwHw tha lw a of the land." From that excellent body we do not often obtain so clear and candid a statement of its thoughts and aims. The resolution is peculiarly valuable for the logical precision with which it shows the origin of the agitation against, the House of Lords. Home Rule for Ireland holds the foremost place in the Liberal policy and programme, because without it there is no chance of office for the party.

But the House of Lords is not likely to pass Home Rule until there is evidence that the predominant partner desires it, which evidence. the Liberal party sees no pros pect of obtaining. Consequently the House of Lords must be deprived of its legislative powers in order that tho predominant partner mar be ieyed, and the Irish contingent paid for its services; Nothing coma oe more tranx or more convincing. At the same time nothing could more completely explain the remarkable weak ness of the caao on which the Gladstoniaris rest their attack upon the House, of Lords. Mx.

Bstcs stated this case yesterday, and had not a single positive complaint to make of the House of Lords except that it had refused to pass the Home Rule Bui. He said, indeed, that it has no popular authority at its back, an argument which he must know is ridiculous, in view of the fact that the Govern ment did not dare to appeal from its decision to the country. He said also that its members are not wiser than other people, an argument which is equally' good against the House of Commons. He said that for we last sixty years the House of Lords has always been utter Ir which mere rhetorical vituperation and. forgot altogether to explain how the country has come to do so well during these sixty years if the action of the Peers has been steadily pernicious: bimetallism too distant a remedy to be seriously offered in relief of present evils'.

It does not lie with this country alone to re habilitate the white metal," and neither Lancashire operatives ncr Indian financiers can find anything but the mockery of consolation for present difficulties in the assurance that tha establishment of some un determined ratio between silver and gold would for ever terminate the era of Indian deficits and vexatious duties.
