The lola Trial.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-There were the
usual crowds and demonstrations to-
day at the court when the sixth day OF
the trial of NM. lola and Perreux
opened. The force of guards around
the court was increased to four COM
panies. Gen. i Hot, minister for war, has
instituted proceedings against NJ. Cou-
rant, the barrister who was esterday ar
rested for shouting. "Dowu with the
commanding officers !"
NJ. Henry surprised the court by al
firming that the document with the
words "that scourdrel D." had no
connection with Dreyius, but belonged
to a different lot of papers, and was OF
no consequence. The real Dreyfus
papers, witness added, he had never
seen. Maitre Demsnges, who was
counsel for Dreyfus in the court mar
tial proceedings, said he had learned
on reliable authority that one OF the
members of the court martial had said
that secret document had been COM
municated. There were the most heat
ed discussions in the Hobbies to day, the
Zolasts claiming that to.day's evi
dence might result in revision Of the
Dreyfus case. In view of the possibili-
~ of demonstration, three and half
sauadrons of cavalry were stationed in
the Rue Drout. the Marie Celestin and
the Chateau d'E.y barracks.

SOUTHERN RELIEF BALL

The fifth annual ball of the Southern
Relief Association took place last night
at the National Rifles Armory, Wash
ington, and exceeded even the most en-
thusiastic hopes of the managers as
financial and social success. The deco
rations were one of the most attractive
features. The Confederate colors, red
and white were interningled with the
national flags and banners and the en-
blems of "the lost cause" The lights
were shaded with red, and bunting OF
red and white was draped about the
windows. The Marine Band furnished
the music. Southern smilax trans
formed the armory into an arbor of
sylvan beauty, the vivid green of the
foliage contrasting with the red drape'
ries and snow-white walls. Under the
chandeliers swung huge red umbrella
like disks. through which the light
glowed with rosy brightness, and the
piatforms was hedged with palms.
AS the guests entered the hall they
were received by Mrs. Ralph Walsh,
president of the Southern Relief So
ciety, together with committee com
posed of the wives of the congressman
representatives from the southern
States and ladies representing the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The reception lasted from 8 to 10, az
ter which the ladies of the receiving
party adjourned TO the platform, where
they received informally those who al
rived later from the theaters and the
reception at the White House. The
badges worn by the floor managers
were of red. white and blue ribbon,
with crossed Confederate flags in gilt,
while those worn by the ladies were
red and white satin, the pointed ends
ornamented with a gold tassel.

SATURDAY EVENING. FEB II, 1898.

ACCORDING to interviews with lead
ing men connected with the Virginia
Prison Association" under whose au-
spices the so-called "Rsformatory" is
conducted, as published in the Rich
mond papers, most OF them are quite
indignant at the report of theinvestiga-
TING committee of the General Assem-
bly on the manner in which it has been
conducted. To disinterested persons
it seemed that they were treated, on &C
count, no doubt, Of their high standing
in the community aud philanthropic
intentions, with very great considera-
ton: but few OF those interviewed seem
TO appreciate it. The bills introduced,
in connection with the report, are evil
IDENTIFY the real causes OF the threats OF
resignation, &c. Now, what are these
bills? lst. That a boy must DE conrtcted
Of some offense before he can be sent TO
the reformatory; ID. That .fred terms
of Imprisonment are provided, which
the managers can. shorten for good be-
havior, but cannot lengthen; Sd. That
the Governor is to have the pardoning
power, of which, it being his constiIu-
t:onal right, it is strange he should have
been deprived; 4th. That appeals from
the sentence can be taken within III
teen days after conviction, presumably
to the Circuit Court of Richmond city,
which is to have exclusive jurisdiction
in habeas corpu: cases, and 5,h. That
boys over l. years of age are not to b
sentenced to the institution. Nov,
what possible objection can be made to
these provisions, except that the Gov
ernor has to wait 80 days after applica-
ton for release 10 the Prison Associa'
ton before he can pardon. We do not
see how any reasonable man, having
any regard for the natural and consti
tutional rights of minors and their pa
rents, can except to them. One of the
interviewed parties says that the Prison
Association should turn over the insti
tuition to the State. That is an excel
lent suggestion. The dictatorial power;
it has exercised should never have beer
granted, and should be Withdrawn a
the earliest practicable moment. The
Commonwealth has no right to dele
gate its power to punish offenders tc
any association whatever.

THAT PURE and Christian statesman,

patriotism, and the spirit of liberty, all
combine to demand that this country

MoRTALs cannot legislate properly

BEING UNABLE to compete success
fully with their Southern rivals, owin 9
to the superior natural advantages the
latter possess, the New England cot
ton manufacturers now demand that
the federal government interfere in
their behalf and restrict the hours OF
labor in Southern factories. But some
peoples ideas of personal liberty
change with circumstances, The South
has had her hard times and now the
North must have hers, and neither high
tariffs, nor gold monomelallism, nor
paternalism will relieve the pressure.
