who are most concerned with the question cf re-
vision Of the Dreyfus case. There Is little doubt
that the Minister of War. NJ de Freycinet. favors
new trial as he is a Protestant, and Protestants
generally throughout France favor revision.
Charles Louis de Saulces de FreyCinet was born
In lSoe and was educated engineer. In the
latter part OF the war with Germany he was at the
head of the Military Department of the govern
ment and upon him fell much unjust and unneces-
sary blame for the disasters Of that terrible
year" His unpopularity kept him out Of Office for
some years but he was finally elected 10 the Sen
ate and in 1877 became Minister Of Public Works
This place he retained in several successive Cahi-
nets He was Premier and Minister Of Foreign
Affairs in 1852 and again in 1886 and has likewise
twice been Minister OF Wer. in 1SSs and 1S92.

the new Minister OF Justice. NJ. Lebret. on the
subject Of revision. Georges Lebret was born in
1853 He took the degree Of doctor OF law In Paris

Without for one moment desiring
to abstract one jot or title from the
credit due to our local board OF
health, while under the presidency
OF w. o. Smith, for it's management
OF the important charges assumed
by it during the reign Of the revo
lutionary governments initiated by
the P. CTS, it seems to us that the
quicker the control OF matters per-
tanning to the Leper Settlement and
Quarantine pass into the hands OF
the Fe'eral Board OF Health the
better it will be for the United
States, especially as we are in the
future to be the sentinel on duty on
the frontiers of the mainland in
peace or war. The positions attach
ing to such responsibilities should
no longer be entrusted to the will
and disposition of local politicians
of no very high order, and of but
little influence save in the conditions
of the should be forgotten past.

The main trouble with the men
who have hitherto ruled the desti-
MES OF Hawaii through king money
bags, is that they imagine our little
vestry to be the hub of the Pacific,
and their wishes to be the gospel
law of the United States. They
think "the rustic cackle OF their
burgh" is "the wave that murmurs
through the world" whereas the
fullest strength of their party might
be dropped into California county
and scarcely make rustic in poll
tics, From all we can learn of our
peoples wishes they are opposed to
another planters or family compact
government, and they would much
prefer that the United States should
have fair show in the disposal Of
some of the most important of the
official positions. We don't wish to
be ruled by the same men under a
different name, even il the Stars and
Stripes float above us as a sugges.
ton of new glory to come.
