THE VERMONT DEMOCRATS.

Long ago the Vermont Democrats es-
tablished their right to be called the most
unterriied of the unterrifed. The per-
sistency with which they would, in cam
paign after campaign, marshal their lit
tie Spartan band in a forlorn hope and
the fortitude with which they would take
their drubbing elected the admiration of
even their most virulent opponents. AS
a consequence, when in the last presiden-
tial campaign they gagged at the Chicago
platform, there was much rejoicing in the
Republican camp. We were told that the
disaffection of the Vermont Democrats
was the most significant sign that had
been given of change and decay in the
Democratic party.
But 1t turns out that their qualm OF
two years ago was only passing one. 1t
was only a case OF that temporary de-
moralization that the best-drlled and
most loyal OF troops win exhibit on rare
occasions The Spartan band has redeem
ed itself and re-established its ancient
claim.
The Democratic party Of Vermont, at its
convention the other day, not only accept
ed the Chicago platform, but Its nominee
for Governor has come out squarely for
issues in stumping the State. May 1t not
be competent to ask IL this is not signl-
fcant sign, also--a sign likely TO turn Re-
publican rejoicing Of two years back to

NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Colonel Maus, chief surgeon Of Fitz Lees
Army Corps, says the health OF that COM
mand is Satisfactory in every way"
The cases of typhoid-fever are confined
largely to the Virginia, Mississippi. and
Second Illinois regiments. With the Vir-
ginia and Mississippi regiments the dis
ease was caused by the use of infected
water at their State camps before coming
here. No local causes had anything TO
do with the disease in any of the cases."
he says.
We believe there is truth in this state
ment. so far as 1t refers to our regiments.
For some time while the men were at
Camp Lee here the water from the city
hydrants was muddy. and they impru-
IDENTIFY resorted to the old wells on the
grounds. From these wells they got
water that had nothing to recommend it
but its clearness. In time. but not quickly
enough, they were forbidden to use the
wells 1t is unfortunate that they ever
used them.
General Anderson, telegraphing from
Manila, recommends that Chinese ponies

"sAvE Us FROM OUR ALLIES"

Just at present the general run of
Americans feel like exclaiming, Save us
from our allies!' Not only the Cuban in
surgents. but the Philippine insurgents
as well, threaten to give us a good deal
Of trouble. II one-half of what has been
reported regarding the conduct and tho
spirit manifested by Garcia and Aguinal-
do and their respective followings is true,
there is promise of decided enlargement
Of the demands upon our time and re-
sources both in Cuba and at and around
Manila
1t is said that at Washington a grave
view is taken Of the temper recently de-
veloped by our allies, both Cuban and
Philippine, and We sympathize with that
view. But we hope 1t is not true that
the government is disposed to depend too
much upon moral suasion In the matter
Of trying to placate them. Assuming
that Garcia and Aguinaldo are bent on
carrying things with high hand according
to their own sweet wills, the sooner
they and their adherents are made to
understand in an unmistakable way that
We intend to make them behave them
selves. II we have to hammer a regard
for law, order. and the rules Of civilized
warfare into their heads. the better 1t
will be for all parties concerned.
In the eyes OF the world we are morally
responsible for the conduct OF our allies,
and We owe 1t to ourselves az well as to
other nations. that these allies should

The more the French Government tries
to justify it, persecution Of Dreyfus and
| block the way to the truth as to his case
being revealed. the more IT oesmirches
itself and the more clearly It shows that
| the unfortunate offHcer has been made the
victim of a miserable and most disreputa-
| BILE conspiracy.
| Nearly every one of Dreyfus's promi-
nent prosecutors has been either dehied
| out of his own mouth. SO to speak. or
has sprung q trap upon himself. Re-
| Gently NJ. Cavaignac. the French Minister
CT War. stated in the Chamber of Depu-
| ties that he could as an honest man and
| as a responsible minister-could on his
honor-assure the nation OF his positive
conviction OF Dreyfus's guilt, and then
proceeded to aoduce what he said were
the proofs on which he based that con-
viction. These proofs. barring some hear
say evidence to the effect that Dreyfus
had confessed. were three letters-two
dated In 1894 and the third In 1896 The
earlier letters spoke of 3D." and that
canaille de d." and the later one stated
that II the writer. who was presumably
in the conspiracy to steal official docu.
ments, was ever questioned about Drcy-
fus he should deny ever having had any
relations with him.
But the presentation Of these proofs"
was another instance Of zeal in perse-
cutting outrunning discretion. They turn
ed out to be a boomerang that struck
the government a blow which sent II
deeper into the mire. In a few days
Colonel Picquart came out in communi-
cation, addressed to Prime-Minister
Brisson. informing him that he PicquarD
was in a position to prove. before any
competent tribunal, that the two docu-
ments dated 1894 could not possibly apply
to Dreyfus, and that the one dated 1896
bore all the marks Of forgery. But that
is not all. A little later Maitre Demange,
counsel for Dreyfus, declared that none
of NJ. Cavaignac's documents were pro-
duced at the trial Of his client, and that
the only evidence upon which the latter
was convicted was the famous bordereau.
now so dscredited that the Minister or
War did not even refer TO It. NJ. Demange
also thoroughly disproved the story about
Dreyfus's confession.
These statements deputy attempted to
get before the Chamber. but the govern
ment dared not meet them.,a moved
postponement Of the Interpolation for
one month. or until after adjournment.
In the mean time. however. friends OF
Dreyfus's and others who are convinced or
his innocence are said to be busily en-
gagged in piling up evidence that the gov
eminent has not only connived at injus-
tice In the case, but at wholesale perjury
and forgery as well, and 1T is declared
that there need be no surprise II the mat
