II there IL any one thing more than
should offer thanks 1t Is their national
temperament. 1t is a temperament that
does not merely invite success, but that
practically assures it. In spite Of our
hurry and hustle" there Is, In the
American makeup, q kind of imper-
turbable calmness and assurance that
Is akin to the British or German quail
ity. and that is the thing we call, for
want OF better term. Anglo-Saxon.
and whose basal elements are Teutonic.
An editorial writer In the Outlook
short time ago related a conversation
overheard by him In railroad train.
in which one Of two men, who were
commenting on the chances of COM
mon friend for election to public Of
flee. said: Hes showed how bad he
wanted it. and don't you know II You
know man wants thing as bad as
that. it kind of goes against you to vote
for him? That's human nature" The
writer proceeds to show how this in
stinct. common to all of us. so far from
being mean or perverse, Is in fact a
part of the forces making for public
soundness. The nominee ''intolerably
anxious to win votes" Is. in all proba-
bility. not the ideal man for the place.
and, while he may be morally superior
to his opponent. he lacks the tempera-
ment of which the best political leaders
are made. The Outlook writer support
al thanrx NV s,th In ta Nd
attenuated 1t somewhat, but the gist of
his remarks was that the ideal leader
does not set his heart OH any given vie
tory, because for him victory more or
less does not greatly matter-he knows
success rides upon his banners, and he
preserves his inner calmness, even
when fighting desperately for the Inn
mediate issue This is the temperament
that wins, that is never defeated even
when its bearer is ground into the dust.
1t is the temperament that fights best
when its cause is just. and that for
that reason whenever 1t has been pitted
against itself, as in the Revolution and
the Rebellion, has turned the balance
in favor of right rather than might. 1t
Is, the temperament that has led a
peaceful nation into n war which at the
outset seemed likely to enlist all the
powers of the earth against the defend.
er of the weak. 1t is the temperament
that stands behind the greatest civiliz-
ing forces of the earth at this present
moment, and that would survive any
and all adverse forces external to
itself, so long as it had n moral foot
hold. 1t Is the temperament which.
even II the great blind, dense mass of
Slayism could throw itself in the track
of civilization, would still rise. with
"keen untroubled face" above the SEEM
ing ruin, and would triumph in the end.
For the one thing that the Anglo
Saxon has never yet learned Is the les
son of final and real defeat. 1t is. above
all others, the inyincible temperament.

martial OF Chaplain J. p. McIntire of the
Oregon on the charge of using language
prejudicial to good order and discipline

provision of the charter Is that no new

or street railway lines, can be granted
without 1t is ratified by vote of the
people at the next municipal election.
and no street railway franchise can be
renewed until within ninety days of it's
expiration, and then its renewal must
be decided by the voters. IL Is per cent.
of their number sign petition to that
effect. When new franchises for street
railways are secured they run for only
twenty-five years. This is the begin
ming of a ru8Sement that is likely to
spread rapidly In this country. The
growing exactions of corporations and
the increasing venality OF common
councils in cities have left the people
no alternative except to take into their
own hands powers which it is no long
er safe to intrust to men who use office
for increasing private gains and with
out the slightest regard for the rights
or wishes of their constituents.

POpulace Imam ed.

The Dreyfus agitation is not abating.
The populace was again inflamed today
by posters, printed by Steele, with which
the town has been plastered. They re-
produce two letters which Dreyfus wrote
TO the minister Of war in 1894 and one
which he wrote to his counsel, De Mage,
in 1895, protesting innocence and denying
that he ever had been guilty of any indis-
erection. The posters also deal at length
with the fact that Colonel Picquart wrote
on July 8 affirming the falsity of Lieu
tenant Henry's documents, and they de-
cry the arrest and imprisonment of Pie
quart.

.CAVA|GNAC STEPS OUT
THE PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
The Minister of War Resigns Be-
cause the Dreyfus Case Is to he
Revised ON account of the Henry
FOrgery-Very Weak Arguments
From Him.

Paris, Sept. 5.-M. Cavaignac Saturday
sent the following letter of resignation to
NJ. Brisson, premier and the president OF
the council: AL. s..,-r.r -.4..
Il have the honor to send you and beg
you to transmit to the president of the
republic my resignation as minister of
war. There exists disagreement be-
tween us, which being prolonged, would
paralyze the government at a time when
it most needs full unity of decision. |
remain convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus
and am determined as heretofore to com
bat a revision of the case. / do not in
tend to shirk the responsibility of the
present situation, but ! can not assume
it without being in accord with the chief
of the government to which ! have the
honor to belong"
These are the circumstances which led
NJ. Cavaignac to resign: After the dis
covery of Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
forgery the government sought means to
reassure the public. The question of re-
vision was preached. Certain ministers
believed the time had come to throw full
light and to establish every responsible
ty. NJ. Cavaignac strongly objected He
declared that he was convinced of the
guilt Of Dreyfus. .r:..,,.
NJ. Brisson vainly pointed out to NJ.
Cavaignac that the revision would be
purely judicial. ~-'
NJ. Cavaignac replied that revision
could only be justified if some new fact
developed to show that there HAD been a
judicial error and that no such fact ex-
listed, Henry's forgery being subsequent
to the conviction of Dreyfus and only in
directly connected with it.
NJ. Bourgeois, called from Switzerland,
made new effort but NJ. Cavaignac
still refused. The latter saw M. Brisson,
the premier, and declared that his deter
mination was immovable and that he
would resign. After NJ. Cavaignac's de-
parture, conference was held at the min
istry of the interior between NJ Brisson,
Minister Bourgeois and NJ. Sarrien. About
y O'Clock NJ. Cavaignac's letter of resig-
nation was received. It is assumed that
a majority of the cabinet accept the views
OF NJ. Brisson as the others retain
their portfolios. The resignation of NJ.
Cavaignac enables the government to de-
eide the matter and it is believed NJ. Cav
aignac's successor at the war office will
soon be appointed and a definite resolu-
| tion taken.

Thousands of Republicans Would Sup
port Ingalls, if Nominated by Pop
ulists, Says Harringto

John J. ingalls, is undoubtedly the
man who should be nominated for con-
gress in the First district by the fusion
lists in this campaign said Grant w
Harrington, editor of the Kansas DEM
ocrat at Hiawatha, to a Journal report
er today. Mr.. Harrington also repre-
SentS the First district as a member of
the Populist state central committee
and came to Topeka to attend the meet
ing of the executive committee last
night.
ingalls,, without exception, is the
greatest advocate and believer in the
principles of POpu1ism in that district.
He has always been friendly to silver
and is one of the few men who are iden-
tilted with the opposition who admit
that silver was really demonetized.
st remember during the last presiden-
tial campaign Mr.. ingalls, came TO Hi
awatha to make a speech under the
auspices of the local Republican clubs
and they arranged a monster demon
Stration for them. ingalls, did not en-
thuse them, however, because he did
not get up and shout for the St. Louis
platform. He talked tariff and when
he did refer to the money question it
was in such manner as indicated that
he felt silver was being worsted in that
platform and by the party which was
sustaining that idea. Republicans left
that meeting with their heads down but
were glad ingalls, came, said Mr..
Harrington, because he made votes
for the Populists by that speech
IF the fusionists would nominate Mr.
ingalls, he would be elected because
there are thousands of Republicans
who would vote for him. The First dis
trict is safely Republican under ordi-
nary circumstances and unless some
thing of this kind is done we need not
figure on accomplishing anything this
year. So far as / am concerned feel
that we have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain in this matter and am
in favor of nominating Mr.. Ingalls,,
without a platform if necessary because
he is a platform unto himself.
Mr.. ingalls, himself has not been
heard from in regard to all this talk. A
few days ago he was in Washington.

ILLINOIS MINES CLOSE.
Mount Vernon Coal Company Re
fuses to Pay the Springfield Scale.

Mount Vernon, Ill, April Lowing to
the inability of the operators and oper-
at1Ves to agree upon a scale Of wages,
the mines here owned by the Mount
Vernon Coal Mining company will shut
down tomorrow for an indefinite per-
iod.
The Springfield meeting, held last
month, fixed the scale price for these
mines at so cents, with eight instead of
ten hours work. This price, the man
ayers of the company claim, they can
not pay, and inasmuch as they were not
represented in the Springfield meeting
and did not agree to the wage scale,
they claim they are not bound by it's
provisions.
They contend that the company the
past year has been operating the mine
without a cent of profit, and that any
increase in wages would mean cores
pondfng loss to the stockholders The
directors held a meeting this morning
at the office of Webb & Harris, when it
was decided to adhere to the present
price Of 45c.
The miners held meeting at Katt-
ner's hall this afternoon and unani-
mously voted to stand by the Spring
field scale.
James Boston of the miners execu-
tive committee of the Seventh district,
was present for the purpose of assist
ing in the adjustment of the trouble,
but his mission was a failure, and the
mines will close tomorrow,

BEN'S SARCASM.
Ex-President Harrison Thinks It Pa
triotic to Keep Mum.

New York, April 1.-Ex-President
Harrison, who arrived here yesterday
made the following statement regard
ing his visit to this city:
my visit to New York is purely and
solely on professional business at the
request of my associate counsel and
witha stion fr6ln any other
source@M Mw@4ot expect to meet or
confer with anyone on any matter re-
lating to public affairs, nor will I give
any interview relating to the Cuban
matter or any other. No one had been
authorized to express my views, that
work I always do for myself, when I
think it needs doing.
ct feel a grave and solicitous interest
in our relations with Spain, but I am
not charged with the responsibility of
conducting and would not on any &C
count say or do anything that might
embarrasS those who are. The presi-
dent and congress, will I hope continue
in those relations of confidence and har-
mony that are essential in such a crisis.
1t would be very grievous and very in
furious if they should fall apart.
IT am sure that can serve my coun-
try best by keeping silent just now and
perhaps others might help in the same
way. I shall be in New York for a
week or ten days and shall be busy.
Therefore 1 ask my newspaper friends
to accept this statement as final and
not to ask for interviews that cannot
