ZOLA ON TOP.

Zola may lose his case before the Paris tribunal. The intention of the government is to bring about his con- v1ct1on. The necessities of the gov ernment require his conviction Every thing is against him. But at this point in his trial he has succeeded in turning even the arms of the govern ment against his accusers. Zola, up to date, is on top.
 There is no longer a question in the mind of any unprejudiced man that the conviction of Captain Dreyfus was unjust. He may be guilty or he may be innocent, but his conviction was an outrage upon justice. So much Zola has established, in spite of the desperate efforts of the French gov ernment to smother the real point of this litigation.
 Having accomplished this, Zola has won triumph, whatever may be the verdict in his personal case It is this for which he contended. It makes little difference whether he is adjudg- ed guilty of maligning the minister of war, provided he shows that his orig inal charge of travesty of justice in the trial of Dreyfus is true.
 More than this, there are signs that popular sentiment is turning his way. The French people, while excitable, are yet intelligent, and the facts which appear in the Zola case appeal to this intelligence. Reforms In France are usually brought about by nothing less drastic than a revolution. Is there to be a revolution as the sequel to the Zola case?

SENTIMENT VS. PROSPERITY.

Ex-Governor Patterson of Colorado, who is stopping at the Shoreham, on being asked by a Post reporter for an item of news from the Rockies, ans wered: We are busy digging gold out of the ground-gold till you can't rest. But for all that we stand as un- falteringly for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as ever. There is no weakening, no backing down on that proposition. Let me tell you about Cripple Creek, the greatest gold camp on earth. Last year Cripple Creek gave an output of s14,000,000 in gold; this year the pro- duct will run up to s18,00O,O00. Not an ounce of silver is mined there, and yet the sentiment for free silver is just as strong in Cripple Creek as it is in other parts of Colorado. That ought to show you how our people feel and

The celebration in this town of Washingtons birthday was in every way commendable. The parade in the afternoon was thoroughly attractive, the boys in blue, the Indian cadets and the local firemen uniting in a display calculated to arouse prida in these rep resentative military and civic orzani- cations. The reception by the gover- ner and members of his administra- tion at the city hall, and the ball at the Hotel Adams brought the celebra- tion to a fitting close. It was good thing for this town of Phoenix and a good thing for the territory. in that people from all parts of Arizona were enabled to meet the governor and his official family and become better ac- quainted. Such occasions are helpful in more ways than one.

think on the subject of inance''- Washington Post.
 The above asinine utterance is in line with the performances of MT Tel Ter and other free silver demagogues. The people of Colorado were never more prosperous than now. Colorado leads the country in the production of gold, and the industry is bringing untold wealth to the state. Every ar gument advanced by the free silverites has gone to pieces in the face of Colo rado's unparalleled advancement as the result of increased gold mining. And yet we are told that the 'senti- ment for free silver' is as strong in Colorado as ever. This is equivalent to the declaration that the people of Colorado have more regard for an ex- ploded theory than for material ad- vancement. Evidently there is work ahead in Colorado for the fool killer.

THE CASE OF FERMENTATION.

We have in the speeches of Senators White and Pettigrew the whole case of the opponents of the annexation treaty. Each man consumed the time of three sessions of the senate in de- livering his argument, and that of it. self shows unusual preparation. Quite as likely too the published reports of the speeches are accurate.
 Guided then by what Messrs White and Pettigrew have said, annexation of the Hawaiian islands is undesirable on three grounds:
 q )The monarchy was overthr hrown by conspiracy to which the United States was a party. We should not seek to profit by a crime which we helped thus to commit.
 (2) The islands would afford no protection to our mainland bordering on the Pacific in case of war with a foreign power.
 (3) They would increase our ex- penses and add an objectionable eie- ment to our population.
 The first proposition condemns two men who were of the highest person al credit while living. Minister Ste vens and Captain Wiltz of the navy were men of established reputation They were on the ground when the queen was deposed and her rotten government destroyed, and both re- pelled with vigor the charge of con- spiracy when it was first brought against them. No new facts have been adduced since then to support the charge. The facts brought for ward at that time were promptly ex- plained and disposed of. If Minister alive they would again repel the charge.
 The second proposition puts the views of two lawyers in a matter of war and sea power against those ot a recognized master of the subject Captain Mahan is one of the first O. modern seamen. His word has weight wherever there is sea power establish ed. If war were to break out to- morrow, calling for the most effective exercise of the naval arm Of this gov ernment's service, Captain Mahan's views would be considered of the high est importance. Messrs. White and Pettigrew would themselves treat those views with the greatest defer ence. Well, Captain Mahan gives ii as his opinion that the Hawaiian is lands are invaluable to the United States in connection with it's Pacifil coast defenceS.
 As for the third proposition Captain Mahan may also be quoted in refuta- tion of the statement that the islands will be a heavy charge upon the coun- try; and it is clear enough without ar main on the islands and not think ot emigrating to the mainland here. Summing up then we find as the bulwark of the opposition to annexa- tion: An unsupported charge affect ing two American officials whose lives were without blame, two lawyers in opposition on a question of naval pow CT to the highest American authority on the subject, and a statement which practically refutes itself Ought a case like that to command the support of third of the members of the Unit ed States senate?
