that NJ. Scheurer-KeSlner. one Of tae

been agitating for the re-opening of the
case of Alfred Dreyfus, the former cap

life imprisonment after having been con-
victed by court martial Of selling impor-
tant military plans to tie agents Of a
foreign government, had not considered
il expedient TO take legal action in the
matter. but, the Minister added, since
the Dreyfus family had brought charges
against an officer. tie War Department
intended to demand of them that they
justify their charges. Continuing, the
Minister of War remarked:

Comte EsterlaZy, who, it is said, an
swers the description ''of a rich and titled
officer. well known IN Paris society,
who had been requested to resign his

MIR. CHAs. TURNER HoNoRED.

The November number of the Penn

ry, University of Pennsylvania, has just
been received. Mr.. Charles r. Turner,
son of DR.. V. f. Turner, of this city,
is the editor-in chief of it.
1t is handsomely printed magazine
of 30 pages, containing carefully pre-
pared papers on dental subjects, contri-
buted, for the most part, by students of
the University. These articles display,
not only the professional knowledge of
the writer's, but in the subjects discussed,
wise discretion on the part of the
editorial staff is shown.
Mr.. Turner'S friends here rejoice in the
deserved honor that has come to him,
and congratulate him upon the able
manner in which he is discharging the
duties that it has brought.

MORE EVASIoNs.

The international commission was not
McKinley's last card In his nolicy af
currency evasion. That served his pur-
pose for the first year of his incumben-
ey. 1t cost the taxpayers a hundred
thousand dollars to learn what Mr.. Bry-
an and the other leaders Of the Demo-
cratic charged nothing for telling last
year.
Now it is said the President wants to
defer action until after the election of
Congress in 1898. The present scheme
Is to appoint commission composed of
sable financiers'' to take the whole flnan-
cial policy Of the government into con-
sideration and to prepare bill for the
session of Congress that meets in De
cember 1898.
Whether, when that time expires, Mr..
Mckinley will invent some other high
sounding method of postponing the evil
day, or fall in with Secretary Cages
plan that Grover Cleveland tried to get
through Congress, nobody can venture
to say. One thing is certain, however
the President will continue to try to
straddle when he writes, but when fore
ed to act he VIII do the bidding of the
money power that paid for his election.

LEGISLATORS AND FREE PASSES.

We said yesterday that there were
degrees in free passes. Bad as il IS for
judges to accept passes, it is worse IN
some respects for legislators to thus
violate the law. Those who are elected
10 make laws are paid their expenses tc
and from the capital and there is not
the excuse that pubic officers who do
not make the laws might offer FOR The
violation of the law. Some of these rea-
sons are:
l. Pecause the legislative department
itself, representing the public Will, en-
acted the law forbidding free passes.
. In making an al owanee of $3.50 10
the judges legislature made Il close
estimate and cut it down to average
cost, the $3.50 being less than the tray
cling expenses of some and more than
that of others. The bill as it passed the
first house was $500. but it was cut
down in the other honse. The travelling
expenses allowed members Of the Legs
lature, however, Is over three times their
actual expenses, i. e., ten cents per nile.
The mileage paid members of the Legs
nature eacl session out of tie public
treasury is $4,000 As the State pays
them over three times their actual ox-
penses, those who ride on free passes get
four times what they are out whereas
the judges get only, on an average, act
aal expenses.
3. Members of the Legislature can help
corporations many times where judge
can help them once, and as they elect
United States Senators their bias can he
continued in the selection Of the upper
house at Washington. 1t is well known
that the Southern Railways pass book
was one of the potent influences that Sc
cured the election of Senator Pritchard
ut the hands of men who had been elect

age anu anti-monopoly.
4. The Legislature last winter repre-
scented the public will by defeating me
bill introduced at the suggestion of Com
missioner s. Ohio Wilson (who lobbied
for its passage) to allow Railroad Com
missioners free passes. As the Leg;s,a-
ture has exactly the same power TO cut
down freights and fares as the Commits
sion there is the same reason the men,
bers should not take passes.

THE PENIrENT1ARY DIRECTORS
Several Important Matters to be Consid-
cred To-Day.

The penitentiary directors meet this
afternoon.
There will be two important PROPOSE
tons before them for consideration, in
regard to leasing out the cOnvicts. A
capitalist in Richmond, who proposes to
put up beet sugar factory, proposes to
lease one of the penitentiary farms for
the purpose of raising sugar beets, pro-
vided he is guaranteed the use of a GER
tain number of cOnvicts to cultivate and
gather them.
The other proposition comes from a
New York man named Hildebrand,
who wishes to have a shirt factory in
the penitentiary. He asks the use of an
unused wing of the main building and
viii employ convict labor entirely, pay
ing for it 80 much per shirt. He thinks
in this way he can utilize many of the
old and feeble and other convicts who
cannot be worked on the farms, and are
now a dead expense on the State.
Another matter that may come befor
the directors at this meeting is that of
leasing a new State farm near Eliza
BEETHOVEN, in Baden county. The clay
there is said to be very fine for brick
making. and the soil fertile and prOduc-
tive. Officials have been there this
week making an examination of the
property that it is proposed to rent.
Seven new convicts were yesterday
brought to the penitentiry, and six were
taken away. The new ones came from
Onslow, BERTHE and Iredell counties
four from Onslow, two from BERTHE, and
ore from Ircdell. The Iredell convict is
a woman. sent mp for one year. The six
conyicts taken away were sent to
Caledonia farm No. 1, to help gather the
crOps.

PAINTS A ROSY PICTURE.
Chairman Dockery Says He Will Make
the Penitentiary Pay.

Mr.. Claudius Dockery, the chairman
of the penitentiary board, yesterday
gave out the following statement of the
first year of Republican administration:
"We took hold of the penitentiary
without two weeks rations ahead of
us. We will pay all of our Indebtedness
for the present, leave a supply of corn
for next year and deposit large sum
i'm the State treasury. This is the first
at least since the State undertook farm
ing enterprises, that the institution has
been upon a paying basis.
IAN estimate of the entire indebted
ness of the penitentiary for the past
year, under Supt. Smiths administra.
ton, up to the time of the meeting of
the Board IN October, was made by the
clerk of the Board of Directors. The
estimate made was $44, 632.2S in the fol-
lowing sums:
Amount borrowed from the State
treasurer $4,000; due for fertilizers
issued $9,S4369; vouchers due under
Smiths administration, due and not
paid $S,517.37; amount due for vouch-
issued and not paid, $3,271.22.
'An estimate was also made of the
assets and resources, with which this
indebtedness is to be paid:
"COllectable bills footed up SIS, 297 81
which left a balance indebtedness to be
paid for with this years crops Of $780,.
334.61.
Chairman Dockery makes the following
estimate of the yield of the crops made
by the supervisors Of the various farms:
"The cotton crop is estimated to reach
2,750 bales, but 734 had been sold pre-
vious to the compiling of this report.
This left a balance of 2,116 bales, which,
estimated at five cents per pound on the
market, will bring $4,000 at least more
than absorbing the estimated indebted
ness.
I'm addition to this it is estimated that
there will be 22,200 barrels of corn rails
ed on the farms; 10000 will lie needed
for consumption next year, leaving H.
400 barrels for sale this year.
Tile fodder crop and pea hay is esti-
mated at 1,315,00O pounds. The peas
are estimated at 5,175 bushels; pounds
Of pork $1,000; value of cattle for sale,
81 800; wheat for sale, 706 bushels;
cords of wood for sale, 5,400.

Tue NEW YORK CROWD DOMINATE.

Immediately after the recent election
we told our readers to listen out f'r
the straight Democrats" who voted ZOE

ne irving to dominate the Democratic
marty nv asserting you must not nom'
mate man who cannot carry New
York" 1t has begun sooner than we
expected, as will be seen by reference
TO n clipping copied elsewhere from the
Washington Star.
The Democratic party repudiated the
gold standard, bond deals, government
by injunction, cuckoos, Federal inter-
ference i'm local affairs, and Mugwump-
cry in the National convention of 1896. 1t
would have elected it's candidate for
President as recent results show,
but for glaring frauds in Ken
lucky. Ohio. Indiana and else
where. Even if the frauds were not
sufficient to change the result, he cleo
lions of this year show that the people
are disappointed with the Mckinley adj
ministration and are anxious to have
less prosperity of the kind inaugur"ted.
The Democratic party is not dependent
on New York or any other State. In fact
success in New York, secured at the cost
of silence on the money question. would
be fatal to party success in every state
in the South and West. The New York
voters who have an idea that their State
is nivotal and it can dominate the party
MS in the past are far behind the times.
The Democracy is not SO foolish as ID
run after voters who are afraid to de-
clare themselves and lose the millions
who stand by the party from conviction.
There is no question of the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan in 1900 and no doubt
of his election. The issues are incarnate
in the candidate. and upon them the true
men of the party are impatient for the
time TO put free men and not the tools
of trusts in control of government. II

Every great change for the worse in

by loss of weight and a pinched thin

One of the surest tests of the health

compound is the rapid increase in weight
and the increased ruddness of the blood
that invariably follows it's use. 1t clears
the skin, makes the eXcretory, purifying
functions, performed by the bowels, kid
neys and the skin, regular and thorough.
The improvement in looks from taking

mind and body.
Not only is there decided gain IN
the general health from the use of
Paine's celery compound, but such dis
orders as sick hearaches, rheumatism,
neuralgia, kidney disease and nervous
debility invariably yield to the vigorous
building up of the health that this great
remedy never fails to bring about.
Increased appetite, ready capacity TO
digest food and the final cure of stomach
disorders, bowel difficulties and nervous
arrangement follow the use Of Paine's
celery compound.
AS n prudent man insures his house
against a contingency of fire, however
remote, so persons feeling "run down"
and tired should take precautions against
serious breaking down in health by
building up securely the strength and
vigor of the entire system by means OF
Paine's celery compound.
