HE SAW SNAKES.

Captain Donavan, of the steamer
Selma, has just reached Mobile with
the best sea serpent story that has
appeared for some time. He is
not content with having seen one
serpent, but he reports having
seen a whole family, and to have
been near enough to them to see
what they looked like. The one
that was evidently the head of the
family was about two hundred feet
long, the second, probably a child.
was forty feet in length, and there
was baby of only twelve feet.
All were of the typical sea serpent
appearance, had large heads with
shaggy names, but differed from
some of those previously described
in having long bills.
As it is not an unusual thing for
sailors to see snakes, it will prob
ably be unsafe to take the captain s
story with full confidence. Still
the evidence of the man who sees
the sea serpent may be stronger
than the man who does not see
him. The ocean is a large place,
and a large number of serpents
with large heads and shaggy names
might live in its more retired
places without being often seen.
Even scientists admit that such a
a thing is possible, but they do not
believe that it is so.

If railroad is built from Den
ison to Chickasha and allowed to
cross the Santa Fe at any point
within % or 30 miles of Ardmore,
the people of Ardmore will never
cease to regret it. If no railroad
is built at all, of course there can
be no regrets or loss of trade. Ard
more will continue to be the best
market and the metropolis of the
Territory. But if a railroad is
built, its crossage of the Santa
Fe must be at Ardmore, or the
time will never come when the loss
will not be seriously felt in every
line Of business. This is an un-
vanished truth, and Ardmoreites
should think of it before it is too
late. From indications and what
we can learn, a road from Denison
to Chickasha will surely be built.
and when it is Ardmore should Sc
cure it. If it is not built. we lose
nothing; but if it is built and
does not come to Ardmore, the loss
will be irreparable.

THE DREYFUs SCANDAL.

The Dreyfus case, which has
been prolific in scandals and SEN
sations, is keeping up its record,
and promises still another sensa-
ton. 1t is now said that ex-
premier Brisson has proof that the
very men who were most promi-
nent as accusers of Lieutenant
Colonel Picquart were concerned in
a conspiracy to overthrow the
government, and that if these proofs
be produced it will cause the great
est sensation of the whole case.
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart has
suffered for expressing his honest
opinion that Dreyfus was not
guilty. For any officer in France
to give utterance to such views has
been considered almost as serious
an offense as that for which Drey-
fus was punished. Charges of for
gerry were cooked up against Pic
quart; he was degraded from his
rank and imprisoned.
All this is quite in accord with
the disgraceful methods adopted by
the French authorities from the
very beginning of the Dreyfus case.
They have acted as if their sole
object was to convict Dreyfus
without regard to his guilt or inno-
cence, and they let nothing stand
in their way. Even when the
kind of proof was intro
duced to show that Dreyfus was
convicted, the utmost re
luctance was displayed to granting
him the single justice of a new
trial If this policy be perSevered
in to the end it is probable that the
new trial will avail little and that
the unlucky man will again be con-
Victed.
