Proper Way to Raise War Funds
Washington, May 27.-A notable
speech on the war revenue measure
was delivered in the Senat this af-
ternoon by Mr.. Gormau (Dem., of
Maryland), In the course of All ar
gument in support ola tax on cor
porations, he denounced as "Infa-
nous" the decision of the Supreme
Court" declaring tho income tax
law of 1894 unconstitutional. The
warning sounded by some Senators
that If a tax were placed upon cor
porations it would be pronounced
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court had. he said, no effect upon
him. a decision against such an
enactment would not destroy our
financial structure. hut 1t would de-
stroy the court which should hand
it down.

German took decided issue with
the majority Of his fellow Democrats
upon their propositions to coin the
silver seignorage and to issue legal
tender notes and made powerful
argument In favor of the Issuance of
bonds to raise funds with which to
prosecute the war.
Mr.. Teller (Silver Rep, of Colorn-
do) concluded his speech begun yes.
terdAy, advocating the coinage of
the seIgnorage, the levying ofa in
income tax and the issue of legal
tender notes, and opposing the issue
oi bonds.
MIR. Nelson (Rep., of Minnesota)
prrSrnlrdn carefully prepared argu-
'"'ui against the issue oflegal tender
notes.
l"m speech Of two hours, Mr.. Cock
'cll (Dcm.. of Mi>suuri) discussed
'h" financial question in contention
heiw wren the Democratic and Repub.
liran parties. He urged that the
bill as recommended by the majority
u! the Finance Committee ought TO
he enacted into law.
AZ $40 p. M. the Senate went in
to executive session, and soon after

The DreyfuS Case.

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The Court Of
Cessation assembled to-day to hear
the report of counsellor Bard, who
was assigned to investigate the ap-
plication of the revision OF the Drey-
ius trial. The court room was packed
and a great crowd gathered outside
There was 10 demonstration, however.
NJ. Bard read review of the case, begin
ing with the letter of the minister OF JUS
tice, referring Madame Dreytus'ssppeal
to the court of cessation. He dealt not
only with Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
forgery and suicide, which, be said, were
sufficient in themselves to necessitate a
revision OF the trial, but took up the
bordereau and Major Esterbazy's con-
nection Herewith, Col. Picquart's dis
coveries, Lieut.. Col. du Patty de CLAIMS
action, etc. though he did not disclose
any fresh facts concerning them, as the
dossier, as he received it, contained only
the pieces Of evidence with which the
world is familiar. The secret pieces, if
such exist, are still in the custody Of
the War Department. NJ. Bard de-
clared that he had not found in the bor-
dereau any of the points indicating that
Drevfus was guilty which Lieut.. Col.
du Patty de Clam had pointed out. In
fact, he said, there existed against
Dreyfus only suspicious, not proofs. NJ.
Bard read letter written by NJ. Sar-
ren, Minister of Justice, to the Pro.
cureur General declaring that Lieut..
Col. du Patty de Clam had vainly tried
TO extort q confession from Dreyfu7.
The reading of the letter caused sem
sation in the court room.
Counsellar Bard summed up with
strong Recommendation for revision,
declaring that Lieut.. Col. Henry was
the chief instigator of the prosecution
of Dreyfus; that the evidence contained
in the boraereau was utterly worthless
against Dreyfus, and that there was
nothing in the dossier to justify his con-
demnation by the courtmartal. The
court then adjourned. There was no
demonstration on the part Of the spec
tators or the crowd outside.

THE PASTORAL LETTER.

At the closing of the Episcopal Con-
vention in Washington, on Tuesday
night, Bishop Gailor, of Tennessee,
read the pastoral letter, or sermon,
which is tsiennially prepared by CON-
mittee Of bishops ana sent TO every par
ish to be read from the pulpit.
The pastoral recouDts briefly the
work done by the council; asks that
next Whit Sunday--the seventh semi
centennial anniversary of the Book OF
Common Prayer--be observed in the
churches; halls with satisfaction the
wonderful harmony with which this
general convention, by the adoption OF
an amendment to our constitution, mas,
without weakening the use or lowing
the value Of the prayer-book, opened
tie way towards training congregations
of Christians unused to our llturglcal
forms, to accustom themselves by pro-
cesses of education to approach and de-
sire them;" says that I'VE are glad
while insisting upon the Importance OF
keeping the public school system of
education free from political intrigue or
| UNCONVENTIONAL intrusion, to urge all
the more that it must be complemented
and consecrated by the more careful
and definite training in religious truth
i'll the family and in the Sunday schools,
in church schools and colleges, and In
the careful teaching Of the clergy of the
church; recognizes the earnest and
effective work Of the various organlza-
| tons of the church, and calls attention
TO the fact that the list OF communlcants
has grown 10 per cent. in the last three
wears, and that the contributions dur
ing that time exceeded those Of the
like preceding period by $1,15O, l04.
While this record is encouraging on the
one hand, yet, the pastoral says, lit
leaves us impressed, almost we may say
oppressed, with the sense OF duties LETT
undoDe and OF opened doors into which
| We have not enetere.
1--WE dare not face the future without
a recognition of the fact that this church
needs the stirring up OF the wills OF the
faithful TO the plenteous bringing forth
OF the fruit Of good work, of the giving
of their substance and themselves to
further the Masters work. If the fact
that Christ is the captain OF the mis-
sionary hosts were Infused into the be-
lief Of Cnristendom, Cbristendom would
revolutionize its Christianity. For ouI
own church it would mean less luxury
less extravaganza of expenditure on
self, less social ambition, less pride in
wealth, less seli-indulgence Of every
kind. 1t would mean more prayer
more usefulness and self denial, more
sympathy with the poor, the Ignorant
the vicious, the outcast, the heather
more catholicity of evangelism and les
ecclesiastical self-sutiicency; more o.
the power of the Holy Gnost, and
! therefore, the transformation OF apathy
into the spirit of conquest"
