Paris, Dec. 7.
The strike of newspaper printers has come to an end after lasting exactly three weeks, and one former daily cataract of news and comment is flowing as vigorously as ever. The combination of proprietors (who, as I have already related, produced a joint sheet of their own and called it "La Prose de Paris) proved too much for the men, who had to surrender unconditionally.
The result of the elections must have been very discouraging to them. The Socialists were so disgusted that their organs did not even mention the end of the strike until after the newspapers were being issued again xs usual—a rather childish way of playing the old party game of ignoring facts. They are still accusing the proprietors of having "provoked" the business on the very eve of the elections; they lay no stress on the "provocation" implied in. the printers having chosen the eve of the elections as a good moment in|, which to hold a pistol to the head of the proprietors, Socialism in France has for the moment a good many cares, This is_the third strike which has col-Japsed in less than two months, and the elections, both legislative and municipal, have dealt a severe low at Socialist hopes. Up to date Italy also, though promising well, has had but a poor revolutionary crop.
