THE ESTERHAZY STORY.

The story comes by cable that Ester
hazy, the notorious French Colonel, is
now in London, a refugee; that he de-
clares he will presently tell all he
knows of the late trials, and that his
statement will show that of the mass
of documents used in the trial of Drey-
fus over 600 were forgeries; that he,
Esterhazy, did all that he did by su-
perior orders, and he so respects the
order of a military superior that if so
brother
1t is added that when close pressed
Esterhazy refused to say that Dreyfus
was innocent, but he did say that If
the prisoner had dealings with the
German Government they were not
along lines of the crime for which he
was convicted, and that his. Ester
haZy's, revelations, when he makes
them, will show that not a few traitors
are in the military forces Of the French
Government who occupy places Of
trust close to the War Ministry.
All this must be taken for what it
is worth. The statement is telegraphed
as if in Colonel Esterhazy's own words.
and it is said he gave them out fer
the purpose of publication. There may
be truth in the story, and it may be
the creation Of some sensational re-
porter One Of the r-marks of veri-
ty, however, is the expression of the
spirit of subordination on the part of
the soldier 1t sounds like him, and
corresponds to views he is known to
entertain. Coupled with that is the
fact that Esterhazy has disappeared
from his usual haunts, and that it has
been stated that he departed for
England and was secretly transported
out Of France.

man eminently fitted by years, educa-

recognition of capacity and character,
which we believe, from knowledge of
the standing Of the candidate among
the people, will result in his election

COMPARE THE RECORD.

The farmer Of California must
receive the assistance of the Gov
ernment if he is to prosper. What
has been the record of the two
great political parties regarding
this question? The Republican
party has ever striven to foster
and encourage the horticultural
interests OF California by means Of
favorable tariff legislation; the
Democratic party has always en-
deavored to break down and sweep
away this protection. The Nc
Kinley tariff placed rate Of z
cents a pound on prunes and plums
in order to protect the California
product against the ruinous COM
petition Of Southern Europe. The
Wilson tariff reduced this to an
ad valorem duty equivalent to less
than i cent a pound. The Dingley
tariff has restored the duty Of 2
cents. On figs the Mckinley rate
was 215 cents, the Wilson rate
equivalent to about ! cent, and the
Dingley rate 2 cents. On, raisins
the Mckinley rate was 21a cents,
the Wilson rate 11a cents, and the
Dingley rate 21a cents. On oranges
the Mckinley rate was 10 cents a
cubic foot, the Wilson rate 8
cents, and the Dingley rate about
12 cents. On almonds the Nc
KinIey rate was 5 cents, the Will
SON rate 3 cents, and the Ding1ey
rate 4 cents. On walnuts the Nc
Kinley and Ding1ey rates are 8
cents and the Wilson rate 2 cents.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.
Description of the Body Found in

In nearly new suit of blue beaver,
bearing the trademark of Joseph Bros,

the body was a brown box overcoat
bearing the mark Of w S. Peck e. Co.,
Syracuse, N. Y. The deceased wore No
laced shoes, and wore a turn-down
collar bearing the laundry mark "B.

In the cuffs were a pair of buttons
made from silver twenty-five-cent
pieces, on which are the initial "S." in

initial "S.'' in the corner, the other

they should have honored him for re-
porting the truth to his Government,
and thus bringing about the end Of q
bloody and useless struggle. As an
instance of the way in which the
Spaniard at home is misguided and
kept in ignorance, two Spanish papers
of leading character tell the people how
it was that Cervera lost his ships. He
made a dash out of the harbor, the
people are told, but was met by wen
ty-sdx American ironclads, who sur
rounded him. He sunk seven of these
and them beached his ships and burned
them. But there need be no sur
prise If the news comes presently that
Cervera is publicly insulted when he
reaches Madrid.

NO TIME FOR WRANGLING.

Defeat can come to the Republican
party in California this fall only
through dissension. The opposition is
doing it's utmost to foster difficulty
within the ranks of the Republicans.
1t is proceeding upon the well-known
military maxim that if the enemy
quarrels with itself it is half defeated.
Every influence that is endeavoring
to sow the seeds of discord in the Re-
publican party should be Indignantly
frowned down. At no time since the
war Of the rebellion has it been more
necessary that unity of purpose and
harmony of action should prevail with
in the party lines. There is no real
cause for any disorder. There is no
issue within the organization of any
importance whatever compared with
the great ones joined with the COM
mon enemy.
The defeat of the party, or a weak
victory, will be taken as rebuke to
the National Administration, and will
be hailed as such by the enemies of
the party policy far and wide.
On top Of that, the possible election
Of Mcguire will be a virtual triumph
for the single-tax doctrine, and the
result will be the Kansasizing Of this
State; its setting back for couple Of
decades, from which prostration we
cannot rally nearly so speedily as did
Kansas, because Of our location SO far
from the great centers from which
spring the activities which mean pros
perfty and progress.

This is a system of human servi-

slavery and in many respects more
atrocious; yet the so-called Demo-
cratic party, while claiming to be
the friend Of the 1aborer, expressly
defends this system, and bids for
the support OF those who profit by
it. But these are not the only mat

General Toral on his arrival in
Spain was mobbed and finally driven
to take refuge upon a ship, which con-
veyed him out of harms way. The
incident proves two things-that the
Spanish people have been kept in ig-
norance with regard to the true con-
ditions in Cuba and the real outcome
of the war. and that the Spaniard is
revengeful and unfeeling creature when
his passions are appealed to. If people
in Spain were as well informed as to
news as those in our own country, they
would have known that ToraPs sur
render of Santiago was by direction
Of the home Government, and with the
full approval of Captain General
Blanco; that it was a military leces-
sity and inevitable. Instead of stoning

The Spaniard has no true sense Of
honor. With the signing Of the peace
protocol the presumption was that
complete cessation of hostilities of all
kinds would follow, and that the Span
ish would take no steps to disturb ex-
listing conditions. But what do we
find? The Spanish in Cuba are perse-
cutting the Cubans in every possible
manner short of the torture chamber.
The local, or so-called autonomous gov
ernment, along with the Spanish, is
confscating Cuban estates and seiz-
ing property upon which they have
laid taxes impossible to be borne. They
refuse the United States permission to
land supplies for relief of the suffering
people and to cap all they impose pro-
hlbitory tariff regulations. War has
prevails, and the later stage of Cuban
misery is worse than the former. Min
lister Woodford was right when he said
that the Spaniard will promise any
thing, but never stand to it until COM
PEELED by force to do so. Delay, deceit
and cunning in him are deemed virtues
when dealing with foreign peoples.
There is heart-cutting appeal in the
plea that comes up from the Cubans TO
be relieved from the exactions and
cruelties the Spanish are visiting upon
them. Are we powerless in the prem
ises? If we interfered in the name Of
humanity in the first instance, what

the cradle of the race. No woman who suf-
fers IN this way can retain her good looks

Sec. 4 In case of the death of
any member of the Order while so
engaged as "a soldier during the pres
ent war with Spain, and until his
final discharge from such service,
the official record of such death,
made by due government authority,
shall, in the absence of any better
proof, be deemed sufficient proof of
the death of such member, and the
sum to which his beneficiary shall

proof duly made.
Provided, however, that in all
such cases the Grand Lodge under
whose Jurisdiction such member
held his membership shall not be
required to make such payment
within one year from the time of re-
ceiving notice of such death, and
shall not be liable to any action or
suit for the collection thereof during

death is made under and in accord

Uniform Rates.

The necessity of having a uni
form standard of rates is beginning
to impress itself upon the leaders
Of the fraternal societies through
out the country. 1t is manifest to
all thoughtful men that in the cost
of fraternal insurance there can be
no variation. 1t must be as much
in one society as in the other. The
huctuating death rate will even
itself up in the course of a series
of years, and the low death rate in
one year will be overcome by the
higher death rate of another year.
The cost of insurance is not the
cost of each year by itself, but it is
the cost of the entire series of years,
which constitute the probable life
time of the member. 1t is ridic-
ulous proposition for any one fra
ternal society to make claim for
public patronage upon the ground
that it will cost less than in some
other society. 1t will not cost less.
Mortality is uniform in its action,
and the death rate will equalize
itself if it only has time. OF course
the admission of a large number of
mem bers in "a short space Of time
will reduce the actual cost during
the period when the advantage Of
medical selection remains, but
when this has passed away the
temporary benefit will lose its
force and the society will in the
end, when it foots up its accounts,

find that whether 10000 members
be admitted in one year, or in ten
years, the result, so far as mortality
is concerned, will be the same. The
death ratio cannot be manipulated.
1t pursues the even tenor of its
way, irrespective of the desire of
officials or the claims of competit-
ors. 1t is time, therefore, that
there should be some legislation. by
which the standard of cost should
be fixed, and no society should be
permitted to enter the field unless
its rates conform to said standard.
At the last session of the Fraternal
Congress committee was appoint
ed to present standard table of
rates, and we hope that these rates
may be adopted, and that they may
be sufficient to influence public
