COngre HaniY ON RaYarI.

Congressman Handy Yesterday, in the
House, undertook to criticise OK Alnbassn-
dor Bayard'S letter on the monetary DUES
ton, which recently appeared in print over
his name. We can say, knowing both tho
gentlemen, that both are sincere in their
convictions on the monetary qu, ton, al
though as far apart as the North and South
poles in their views on the sumo. The eX.
Ambassador is firm believer in the gold
standard, while Congressman Handy is
for the free and Unlimited coinage of the
silver metal. There is trouble brewing in
the Democratic party in Dclaw ire and it
remains to be seen ii the ex Amba sador
has become a back number with his admir-
ers in the Democratic ranks at his home
and the State he had for years represented
in the U. S. Senate. Mr. Handy has abil-
ity and is good ready speaker, but are his
arguments as sound and as lucid rs tho
ex-Ambassadors on the money question?
We think Congressman Handy is BELT

leans and we hope they will fight it out

The Work of the Grand Jury,

4 The Grand Jury in their report sub
mitted to the court. calls attention to the
face that very large percentage of the
work of the grand Jury is occasioned by
presentments for petty larceny, carrying
concealed deadly weapons and buying and
selling stolen goods; and whilst We recog.
nlze the fact that larceny Of small value
Is none the less larceny. yet we feel that
under our more modern and progressive
constitution some laws should be enacted
whereby such cases could be promptly met
and disposed oil, thus saving vast expense
! TO the county and much annoyance to the
court and its officers. The suggestion to
the court Is good one and some action
should be taken in the matter to lessen
the work Of the Grand Jury. Funny
things happen when bills are brought be.
fore the Grand Juries and one of the fun
nicst is the ignoring Of the bill charging
Dolly Taylor with harboung girl under
IL years Of age for immoral purposes.
Something unusual was done in her case
she being prisoner was sent for and
brought before the Grand Jury and made
her statement. 1t would not have done 10
have pressed the charge, as too many we'll
known men around town would have been
summoned to prove that the girl told the III
that she was over 10 years Of age. 1t Is
we'll known fact that Dolly had no trou
BILE to procure bail. Who says there is
nothing in standing in with your friends.
Quite different is this case with that of q
colored girl IL years old, who was tried in
the upper court for assault and battery
and came near being convicted. How a
true bill was ever found against her by the
Grand Jury Is one of those mysteries that
cannot be explained. We suppose it was
not represented to this body of gentlemen
as it should have been, and no mention
made Of her age. There are numerous
things that happen before Grand Juries
that cannot always be explained, and the
above are two Of the cases. At the same
time we have no desire to cast any refiec-
ton on the Grand Jury as they have to he

The Accused Has No Chance to Sub.
stantiate His Charges.
Paris, Feb. lin the trial of MN.
lola and Trarieux yesterday M. Trari-
Gux, ex-minister of justice, testified
that he had had nothing to do with the
Dreyfus affair. The presiding judge
refused to allow Commandant Forni-
zett and others to be questioned re-
garding Dreyfus, and Major Patty du
Clam refused to answer questions on
the ground Of professional secrecy"
General Gonse and Colonel Henry gave
explanations of the indscretions of
Colonel Picquart, who has knowledge
of some of the secret papers of the war
Office. General Pellieux, on the wit
ness stand, said 1t was time the truth
became known. He then proceeded to
relate the story of the Esterhazy in
quiry, and said that M. Matthew Drey-
fus and M. Scheurer-K estner both ad-
mitted they could not prove the charges
against Major Esterhazy. Pellieux
vigorously denounced Picquart for ID
vulging an espionage affair to an out
sider." General Pellieux was about to
refer to the Dreyfus case when the pre-
siding judge gently interposed his usual
veto, and the minister did not insist.
M. Dupuy, the former premier. was
then called. and M. Laborie began to
question him regarding the case of
Dreyfus, which the presiding judge
vetoed, whereupen M. Laborie an
nounced that he would throw up the
examination Of M. Dupuy and other
former ministers, as the rulings Of the
presiding Judge made 1t fruitless.
M. Thevenett, former minister of
justice, who was next examined, said
he could easily understand how NJ.
Zola's mind was exercised by the well
ed lady" story. M. lola, he added, had
acted in good faith, for complete light
had net been thrown upon this matter,
and M. Zola's was not the only mind
troubled.
All efforts to bring in the Dreyfus
case were overruled by the presiding
Judge, and thus far lola has been
given no opportunity to substantiate
his charges.
