THE ENEMY'S PLAN.

A month or two ago the politicians who train with Colonel Bryan were in a condition of mind bordering on de- spair. What could they hope to do at the fall elections against an adminis- tration wearing the fresh laurels of Q victorious war? As Americans they rejoiced in the successes Of our fleets and armies, but as silverites-well, that was different.
 Within the past fortnight they have shaken off this depression Of spirits to a very noticeable extent. We see them alert and hopeful again The explana- tiol of the change is very plain. It lies on the surface of the situation. As Americans they grieve with the rest of Us over these camp, transport and hospital scandals. AS siIverite politi- clans, eager to win at the fall elections, they welcome every fresh story Of the kind as an additional political godsand. Here are 'war issues of sort they had not foreseen, even in their dreams. Here is ammunition ready to their hand. They think they see their way now. and they are putting cn conf dent, aggressive airs accordingly.
 It is always an advantage to know in advance the really important part Of the enemy's plan of campaign The re- publican administration and party now have this advantage. They oNght to profit by it, and immediately In nine weeks the congressional elections of 1883 will be history. Republican edi- tors who are joining in the fool cry against the war department set up by the democrats and silverites ought to devote a little thought to the situation

THE SAVINGS OF OUR PEOPLE.

The treasury department figures up the deposits of our people in savings banks at an aggregate Of nearly two billion dollars. The exact figures are $1, 939, ,376,035. This represents the savings Of more than 100000 people It averages s372 for every depositor. l. This is a remarkable showing. It is an astonishing testimony to the com fort and economy Of our people One in every fifteen of our population, counting infants and children as well as men and women, have something of their earnings put by for rainy day This can be said Of no other people on the face Of the earth. Nor in those ether countries in which the savings bank system is well esta ablished is there anything like the large average of in dividual deposits.
 Tn France and in Prussia there are more depositors in savings banks than i, in the United States, but the aggregate amount thus deposited is less than one third as great. In fact, the United States stands fairly at the head in this 1 great test oi popular well being.

THE DREYFUS CASE.

Emile Zola, in his safe retreat in
 Switzerland, will doubtless think that things are beginning to "come his way" and Captain Dreyfus, if news ever passes the eordoa of guards about the Devils island, may we'll believe that the God of his fathers has barred his right arm to confound his ene- mies Just when the French govern ment imagined the Dreyfus case to be
 thoroughly cleaned up by the definite conviction and sentence of Zola, it is reopened in the most sensational way 1t is shown that the conviction Of Drey- fus was procured by means of forged documents
 This is the only interpretation that
 can be placed upon the suicide Of Lieu tenant Colonel Henry, following his ar rest after a partial confession of hay ing fabricated one Of the most impor- tant letters on which the conviction Of Dreyfus was based. It is the only in ference that can be drawn from the res- ignation of General Boisdoffe, owing
 to misplaced confidence in Lieutenant Colonel Henry, which led him to pre- sent as genuine what was forged evil
 dence.' The worst of all that Zola
 has charged or that the friends of Dreyfus have suspected seems to be confirmed by the disclosure of forgery in support of the prosecution in this celebrated case.
 It is peculiarly heavy blow to the system of administration of justice in
 France-Dreyfus was convicted on se- cret evidence. The chief incriminat- | ing document was not presented in open court, nor was it's contents or
 purport communicated to the accused TOT his counsel. Now that this docu- ment is known to be forgery, and the officer who fabricated it has killed him self, and the officer who offered it in
 evidence has resigned i'll chagrin at the deceit to which he was made a party, what becomes of the standing of the court and the verdict?

GOSSIP OF NEW YORK.

New York, Sept. 7.-The police of the east side, early this morning made descent On what they at first sup
 posed to be a private asylum. But they cnIy disturbed a poker game. The Wordy fight between the payers, who TepTS sent6d four nationalities, drew the guardians of the peace to a room in the rear Of a bologna store. The first detective who passed the shop heard voice shouting: Il claim the stakes! I claim the stakes. l am right, and will write a letter to MT Hoylc and he will say I am right" What kind of a straight flush is it with two aces of hearts in it?" shouted another. If Mr Hoyle says that is poker, he is wrong." Then the sleuth appealed for assistance and raid resulted. Before the players were surprised. the officers llstened to all sorts of expressions not cCuntenanced by Mr. Hoyie. They en- tered just as the two "stayers" threw down their hands. Ore had two aces and the king, queen and jack Of hearts;
 the other had i've tens. Just as the aian sports made grab for the stakes tha law confisca,ed the whole outfit
 An examination of the cards showed that it was a pinochle pack, which is composed of two ordinary packs of cards. The owner of the place neg lected to separate them when the game started. On this account, the proprie- ter of the bologna shop was held, while his victims were set free. A man who encourages poker games of this sort certainly endangers the public peace.
