A petition has just been present
ed to the French chamber of depu
ties to which, it is safe to say.no par-
. Th
netitioner
asks tne cnamoer vo pro-
vide him with a new face to replace
the one he has lost The request is
odd enough as it stands; but its
oddity is, if possible, enhanced by
the fact that the face which he has
lct was not hia own. Ex-artillery
man Moreau. the petitioner in ques
tion, is undoubtedly one of the most
severely afflicted of the many vic
tims of the Franco-Prussian war. A
shell burst immediately in front of
bi at the batUeoi Bapaume, carry-
mg away tne enure suriace oi m
face. Casualties of the sort are of
course common in war; the peculiar
ity in Moreau's case is that he sur
vived the terrible mutilation. A
erateful country provided him with
an artificial face or mask which par
tially concealed the deformity. He
was attacked with brain-fever the
other day, and was sent to a military
hospiuL In one of his struggles
with the attendant his artificial face
and teeth got so badly damaged that
they have been almost useless to
him ever since. The chamber cer
tainly owes the best face that is to
be had for money to this gallant de
fender of his country. '

The Republican Financial Record.
The going out and coming in of a
fisctl year of the United States Gov
ernment in always noteworthy. The
fiscal year ouht rettlly to he ; in on
March 4, for an obvious reason. As
it is, June 30 is the nearest approach
the country can evt r have to an of
licial and exact statement of how
an outgoing administration has left
the country financially.
After its stewardship of twenty
four years the Republican party
gave place to the Democracy, and at
the present time the Democrats have
had less than four months in
which to make changes of any kind,
and the greater part of the govern
ment business has been done by Re
publicans so far. It is of special
interest to see the final entries made
in the ledger, the last chapter in the
first volume.
The receipts of the government
from custom duts was $1S1,000,0H);
from internal revenue, $112,tKX),X)0;
from miscellaneous sources, 23,000,
000; a total of 8U2 1,000,000. The
total expenditures of the govern
ment for the year can not be definite
ly stated at this time, but will be
about S310,(XX).000. a difference in
favor of the Treasury of about $11,
000,000. The public debt was re
duced egS.OOO.OOO. These are the
monetary facts in a general way, on
which the Republican party closes
the first volunis of its history. Ev
ery member of the party has just
cause for pride in this splendid rec
ord of fidelity and efficiency, and
no Democrat who has regard for the
reputation of his party can ask any
thing better than that it may prove
worthy of such a predecessor.
It is hardly conceivable that Pres
ident Cleveland should duplicate
the experience, as the chief executor
of National finance, of President
Buchanan, his immediate political
predecessor, but it is to be remem
bered that James Buchanan was
only the culminating point of a series
of Presidents, the same as was the
case with President Arthur. One
series began vith Lincoln, the other
with Jackson, the latter, having a
few brief breaks, but being substan
tially unbroken.
Personally every President thtt
the United States has ever had was
honest in ah matters of buxinet-s,
and we assume that (Jrover Cleve
land will prove no exception. Even
the worst of the Cabinet officers,
Floyd. Cobb, Thompson and Too
cey, are not believed to have enrich
ed themselves. Their depletion of
the DOblic treasury and waste of
government funds, carried on to
such an extent that the National
Treasury was bankrupt, was not the
result of personal cupidity. e re
call no charge against any of them
which rented on anv motive of that
sort Our neighboring republic of
Mexico is to-day suffering seriously
and undergoing a readjustment of
national finance because the admin
istration prior to this one stole the
public money. That is tne short of
it, and is a state of aH'.iirs wholly
foreign to the experience of the
United States. What then was the
trouble with the last Democratic ad
ministration? There can be only
one answer.
The Cabinet of Buchanan carried
into effect the Democratic theory of
Federal government, as those Cabi
net officers understood it, and at
least one member of the present
j Cabinet gave his formal and practi
cal assent to that theory of Democ
racy at tne time oy resigning nis
seat in Congress and taking part in
the rebellion. His recent action in
causing the flag to be lowered as a
mark of respect to one of those Cabi
net officers, Jacob Thompson, might
lierhaps he interpetedas a mere form
but what he lid twenty-four . years
ago was delitTate!y and in the
j highest degree practical. '
I ne inter wean nas no disposi
tion to prejudge this administration,
or hold it responsible for the sequel
of the former Democratic regime,
but before closing the first volume
of Republican finances and laying it
aside to be covered with the dust of
time, or as Oscar Wilde would Bay,
the bloom of time, it is pertinent to
call attention to the contrast between
that record and the first financial
volume of the other great party of
the day. Side by side they rest in
the library of American politics,
each an index finger to and a just
commentary upon the other. Inter
