TnE pICQUART TRIAL.

The trial of Col. Picquart, in Paris, is
causing an uproar because it is regarded
as involving a direct conflict between the
civil and military authorities. Gen. Eur
linden. military governor of Paris, has
ordered that Picquart shall be tried by
court martial. Such a trial would be held
In secret. Under ordinary circumstances,
the case would come before the civil
courts, and the trial would be with open
doors. 1t is the contention Of the mill
tary authorities that for the purposes
Of the prosecution it would be necessary
TO introduce certain documents the max
ing public of which would be prejudicial
to the interests Of the country, hence the
necessity for a military trial and closed
doors. A petition against the assumption
of military authority, and in favor of the
unfolding of the rights and authority OF
the civil tribunals, has been circulated and
signed by thousands of the leading men
of France They believe that the time
has come TO check the military power if
that power is to be prevented from be-
coming supreme in the republic. Wheth-

to be seen. The majority of public opin-
ion in Paris seems to be that a full, open
and fair trial in the civil courts would
result in the acquittal OF Picquart or
at all events. a perfectly satisfactory out
come. whereas a secret military trial would
be inevitably followed by the conviction
of the accused, and the public would be
as much in doubt respecting the righteous
ness Of that verdict as they are respect
ing the verdict in the Dreyfus case.
Meantime there is pending in the ma
tional assembly bill, which has been ac-
cepted by the executive branch of the
government which gives a defendant be-
fore a court martial the same privileges
as are enjoyed by a defendant before a
civil court. Should this bill be passed and
become of force before the trial Of Pic
quart takes place. he might have a fair
showing to go free; but it is believed that
the military authorities will endeavor 10
have the case rushed through, or the en-
| forcement Of the new law delayed, untl
| Picquart can be disposed of-placed where
he can do no harm. The progress Of this
conflict between civil and military powers
! win be watched with interest everywhere.
| The outcome of it means much TO France

PERSONAL.

Rev. DIR. Thomas Dwight Witherspoon
of Louisville, whose death Is announced,
was known as the St. John of Southern
Presbyterians." He had been pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Louis
vile since 1862, was moderator of the South
ern Presbyterian general assembly in 1884
and was widely known throughout the
South.
When Rev. Daniel w. Wisher, pastor
of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, New
York, announced from mis- pulpit that he
was a Democrat, he narrowly escaped
being mobbed. The women of the congre-
cation were particular bitter kissing and
crying out denunciations of what they
called their pastors perfdy. Mr. Wisher
when he left the church, called on the
police to escort him.

We are sure that the pointless humor of
the Charleston News and Courier in deal
ing with an assinine blunder Of the Asso-
ciated Press respecting the dinner given
the Seventh Corps by the ladies of this city
on Thanksgiving day was not appreciated
by the people of Charleston. They are the
last people in the world to even seem TO
claim credit TO which they are not entitled
Unless possessed Of keener humor the

wisdom by passing the incident ia silence
or In treating the blunder with frankness.

TIE GROWTH OF TRUSTS.

The increase in the number of trusts Is
50 great that it is almost impossible to
keep track Of all Of them. a few days
ago il was announced that the elevator
manufacturers Of the entire country had
combined. and that with a capital Of Sill
csac0 they proposed to control the 'on-
strucdon Of elevators and put up the
price Of them. Il seems that even the gov
eminent is in danger Of falling into the
clutches OF a trust 1t is reported THAI
the shiDbuilders of The country have com
bined for the purpose of putting uD
prices for the new warships which the
navy deDartm ent has recommended and
which, il is expected. Congress viii order.
Why this country should pay more for
It's warships thaa Great Britain does is one
of the things that is hard to understand.
1t is a fact that in this country steel and
iron are produced at less cost than else
where in the world In our shipyards war
SHIPS have been built just as cheapy as
have ships of the same kind in the ship
yards of England. Our shipbunders have
built warshlps for Japan in competition
with the. shipbunders Of Europe, and it
was stated not long ago that Russia had
ordered one or more warships from cur
shlpbudders Under the circumstances it
is not likely that our government viii pay
more for warshiDs than England pays for
similar ships.
If our shipbui,ders combine and under
take to parcel out among themselves the
warships TO be built. and charge exoroi-
tant prices, the chances are that Con
gress will step 10 the front and change the
navigation laws, and provide for the build
ing of warshps by the government.
The doing of these two things would
quickly bring the grasping shipbulders to
their senses. If Americans were permitted
to nave American registry for foreign-built
ships il wouldn't take our shipbuilders
long to find out that they could build ships
al as low price as they can be built else
where in the world
Is there any way to protect the people
against trusts? 1t looks as if the substance
these formidable business combinations.
The laws which have been made against
them have not been effective, 1t is almost
impossible seemingly to prevent the for
nation of trusts. Are they the result of
a natural evolution in the world of bust
ness? Have we reached a point where
competition means destruction?
one thing is evident and that is hat
the kinds of business which cannot be
formed into trusts are becoming the VIC
tins of the kinds which can. For IN
stance, the farmers cannot combine. There
are too many of them. But those who
furnish farmers with supplies of one kind
and another combine and make the farm
ers pay big prices for what they buy CT
them.
Il may be that Mr.. Croker was not so
far out of the way in his Chicago interview
when he said that silver was a dead
issue, and that popular issues for the
Democratic party in the next national cam
paign would be home rule for cities and
war on trusts.

WHITE PRIMARY.

The suggestion of DR.. DUNCAN, namely,
that the choice of the people of this city
for the next Mayor be made at a white
primary appears 10 be d good one There
would not, of course, be any necessity for
a primary if there should be no opposition
to the nominee of the Liberal Club. II will
be known, doubtless, within a week or
two whether the Liberal Club candidate
win have opposition.
If the pending bin providing for repeal
of the present election law should pass a
primary would not cost much-not as
much as $1CO If there should be no>pri-
mary, and there should be such a contest
as there was two years ago, the election
would cost thousands of dollars Not only
would the cost be great, but the contest
for votes would have an extremely bad
effect on the community. The bad effect of
vote buying is not confined to those who
sell their votes. 1t extends to greater or
less degree to the whole community.
The white primary suggestion should be
taken up for consideration at once by
those who desire to see a clean election and
the wishes of majority of the
tax payers prevail in the choice of a
Mayor and Board of Aldermen.

Almost every public man who has eX-
pressed himself recently upon the mat
ter Of our increased field growing out Of
the Spanish war has had something to
say of the lack of American commerce
carriers and the need for an enlarged mer-

the courage to advocate the repeal of the
navigation laws which have smothered our
merchant navy and the adoption of broad
and liberal laws which will permit Ameri-
can owners to purchase ships in the mar
kets of the world. wherever they can be
had cheapest. and sail them under the

for his appetite after a few pulls, and
he substituted a piece of rubber hose. The
first suck he gave on the hose dislodged
