A CURIOUS CASE.

The trial of Emile lola and the pub
Usher of L'Aurore, is one of the most
sensational that France has had for
many day. In measure it is pure
ly political trial. If lola had sue
ceeded the French Ministry would have
gone and the heads of the Military
Department would have gone with
them. The trial has given Laborie,
Zola's counsel, a great forensic oppor-
tunity, of which he has availed him
self, and his speech, which has been
practically review of the Dreyfus
case, with a vindication of that I'M
fortunate officer, will become histori-
cal.
AS things now stand it is by no
means unlikely that the condemnation
of lola will lead to revolution. If
one looks at French history one Of
ten sees this beginning on an end. 1t
was the case with Victor Hugo, and
lola is evidently posing as the Victor
Hugo of the end of the century. The
trouble with the French patriots, or
reformers, or Government people, is
that they will always play to the gal
lery. But it is the grimmest of play
ing; it is like the gladiator playing to

The affair of the Maine seems on in
vestigation to be becoming more Sc
rious. 1t was almost impossible to
think that any one would on peace
full night go to work and blow two
hundred and fifty unsuspecting persons
into the air, but as the evidence leaks
out in the papers one is almost obliged
to think that there was some set of per-
sons who were capable of the crime.
That it was a deliberate plan of the
Spanish Government no one can think
of for a moment. But if it has been
done, as it seems to have been done,
by some irresponsible person, none
the less will Spain have to pay an in
IDENTITY, as Greece, Italy, Turkey and
China have had to pay indemnity for
the lawless acts committed by subjects
whom they could not control. The
question is, how can bankrupt Spain
pay an indemnity. The only way she
can do that is by giving up territory,
and the only territory to give up is
Cuba. Thus Cuba will fall into the
hands of the United States almost
whether she wishes it or no.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

From all directions President Dole's
visit to the United States is pronounced
a success. His suavity of manner, his
modest bearing and his fund of infor-
nation upon Island topics have made
many friends for the annexation par
ty in Hawaii. There were those who
challenged the wisdom of Mr.. Dole's
going to the States, but these must
now be satisfied that his time was not
wasted. but that it has been put to
good purpose and has strengthened
the annexation cause.
There was an idea that the opposi-
ton press would resent Mr.. Dole's WIS.,
it, but far from any such thing occur
ring, even those papers which were
most bitterly opposed to the annexa-
ton cause have spoken well of Presi-
dent Dole. If in no way else the visit
of the President has done good in ex-
ploding the filibuster theory which
a certain portion of the press of the
United States used to delight in eX-
plotting. Certainly President Dole
looked neither the leader of gang of
fiilibusters or set of pirates.
But of course Mr. Dole's visit did a
great deal more than this. His per-
sonal contact with important men in
Washington and in various parts of
the United States has done more than
reams of reports and columns of edi-
torials. The visit has brought us into
closer relation with the leading men
of the United States, and will be of
benefit during the coming years. 1t

distinct influence upon politics in the

the throngs i'm the Roman Circus it
usually ends in blood, and it is quite
possible that the Dreyfus-Zola Incl
dent will end in blood. 1t may not be
just at this moment, but the time will
not be far distant.
The French populace is proverbially
tickle. When the trial commenced
public feeling was dead against lola
and Laborie; at the conclusion of La
borie's speech large number had
swung round and shouted for the ac-
cused, though the counter cries for
the Army and Down with the jews"
made themselves heard.
The anti-Semitic feeling at this end
of the nineteenth century is one of
the inexplicable things of modern civ
ilization. 1t is not religious; it is not
national. The French Roman Catho-
it with the Lutheran German and the
Greek Church Russian. 1t has been
explained in various ways, but no ex-
PLANTATION ever fits the facts of the
case in such widely scattered coun-
tries and among people who have such
antagonistic natural traits. 1t is an
utterly unreasoning hatred or dislike,
and therefore the more difficult to
combat. 1t has, in times past, had
disastrous effect upon the nation in
dulging in the prejudice, and it may
have somewhat similar effects in times
present. Fortunately the Anglo-Saxon
races do not have the prejudice.
