FRENCH MGNISTERS RESIGN.
On the Cabinet Leaving the Revision OF
the Dreyfus Case TO a Commission.

Paris, September 17.-At a meeting
decided to submit the documents in the
Dreyfus cas- to a commission to be
selected by the minister of justice, M.
Sarrien. The minister of war, General
Zurlinden and the minister of public
works, Senator Tillaye, left before the
council adjourned. General Zurlinden
later, sent his written resignation to
Premier Brisson, as follows: L have
the honor to beg you to receive my
resignation as minister of war. An
exhaustive study of the papers in the
Dreyfus case has convinced me too full
ly of his guilt for me to accept, as the
head of the army, any other solution
than that of the maintenance of the
judgment in it's entirety"
The council met at the Elysee palace
at $50 a. M, President Faure presiding
According to the semi official note, the
minister of justice said that after hav-
ing examined the papers he felt unable
to decide upon the question of the pro-
posed revision of the Dreyfus case I'M
til he had taken the opinion of a spec
ial commission of the ministry or JUS
tice. The cabinet thereupOn authorized
the minister to summon a committee
for the purpose.
Later in the day another cabinet
council was held, at which General
Chanoine, commander Of the First di-
vision of the First army corps, was ap-
pointed minister for war, in success
sion to General ~Zurlinden, and Senator
Godin, representing French India, was
appointed minister of public works,
succeeding NJ. Tillay. The latter, In
transmitting his letter Of resignation
is apparently bidding for popular fovor.
He wrote: 1.-THE council having decid-
ed to appoint a commission to consider
the request for a revision of the trial
of he convict Dreyfus, I am unable to
accept any share in the responsibility
for that step which, in my opinion, in
wolves a revision Of the case"

Havana, September 17.-Advices
from Matanzas report that the Cuban
troops are maintaining order and en-
forcing rights Of property with rigid
severity in that district. The advices
state that yesterday afternoon a color
ed man named Domingo Albania was
tried by court-martial and shot on the
estate of Los Angeles for having stolen
the day before an OK belonging TO the
estate. In the same district another
prisoner, Domingo Pichardo, who was
accused Of a minor theft, was dlliv-
cred to the Spanish outposts at Los
Angeles. These acts are looked upon
as evidencing the sincerity OF the Gu
ban troops in their efforts TO enforce
law and order. At the same time the
Cuban troops throughout the island
are suffering w~oefully from lack OF
food n clothing and their condition
demands immediate attention and re-
lief in order to prevent serious out
breaks of disease.

In the absence Of the British am
bassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote sent a
large floral cross of white roses and
carnations, which was in the middle of
the chancel facing the congregation.
The embassy was represented by Cap
tain Paget and Mr.. Young.
The church interior was simply ar
ranged for the occasion. Back of the
chancel hung Grape draperies, cover
ing the windows and darkening the al
tar. The pulpit was draped with heavy
bands of Grape Cardinal Gibbons was
assisted in the mass by a large num-
Der of priests and acolytes, the usual
rich vestments being put aside for
those Of black and white. In his ser
mon the cardinal said a grievous crime
had shocked the civilized world; the
hand of an assassin had struck dOwn
an inoffending lady, the consort OF an
emperor of vast and historic regions.
The crime had occurred not when the
empress was seated or her throne, amid
pomp and majesty, which might have
excited the passions Of some fanatic,
but while she was peacefully walking
the street.
1.-The man that strikes at the ruler
of a nation is an enemy Of social or
der" declared the cardinal. Public
peace and tranquility depend upon the
execution of the law; on the ruler or
executive OF q nation OepenOS the exc
cutiOn of law and the maintenance Of
stable government. It behOOveS us,
therefore, to uphold the head Of the ma
ton whose person, as a ruler, is sa-
cred" The cardinal paid a touching
tribute to the beauty of character of
he late empress, and asked hat the
prayers be given not only for the re-
pose Of her soul, but also for the So
lace of the stricken emperor. Among
all tributes Of sympathy which had
gone to the emperor, he said, nor had
been more touching and gracious than
that of the president of the United
States. The cardinal recalled the world
wide sympathy coming to the United
States on the assassination of Presi-
dent Garfield, which. he said, leveled
all craftsmanship in this country, bring
ing together democrats, republicans,
administration men and anti-adminis-
tratiOn men, in a common sorrow. Thus
out of the blood of a martyred presi-
dent was sOwn the seed of patriots,
and the cardinal hoped that out of this
last abhOrrent tragedy would come also
good lessons and good results.

republican party-the gold bug party
in the state election, and thus directly
aided the republican party in the cleo
ton OF a gold standard senator in the
United States senate, to kill every vote
cast by their own free silver senator.
"On consistency, thou art a jewel"
Ii aided the republican party in the
election Of incompetent and insolent
negroes TO public Office, who insult and
terroize white society.
Ii was warned by the falling away of
thousands Of its better element and
more thoughtful voters in the last cleo
ton But it turned a leaf ear to their
warning. And again, despite the
shameful condition of affairs that 1t
had helped to impose upon the good
people Of Craven and other counties in
North Carolina, and despite Negro
Col" Jim Young's connection with
the deaf and dumb institute at Raleigh,
and despite the villainous insult of a
republican negro editor Of the Will
mington Daily Record hurled upon the
pure white women of our country In
public print, We find this populist par
~ in North Carolina again fusing with
the black republican negro party, TO
again impose these Ubiquitous condi-
tons upon decent white society in our
grand old state. 20, decency, thou are
a virtue" l am disguised and disap-
pointed with the open and fragrant
abandonment Of principle by the pop
ulist party.
am outraged by this open and con-
tinuous utilization of the populist par
ty with the republican negro element.
| believe in white supremacy in this,
a white mans country.
And that is why l now come back to
the democratic party and l am not
ashamed Of my position in doing so.
l believe in the purity and virtue of u
noble women and the protection of our
homes from the villainous entrance of
negro officers.
That is why | left the pOpuliSt party
and come back to democracy. Just
here, lest you should misconstrue my
change, let me say, l am no candidate
for office, never have been and never
expect to be, and would not receive Of
fee at the instance of any party.
The democratic party is the white
mans party in practice as we'll as
teaching. My lear reader, who, like
me, affiliated with the populist party
for the past six years, l appeal to your
patriotism and your judgment. Can't
we better serve our country, our homes
and society under existing conditions
by returning to the democratic party.
Come with me and let us help restore
decency and good government in North
Carolina. The democratic party ex-
tends to every white man, irrespective
of party, a cordial cooperation, and is
it not our duty as white men to fight
in a white mans party.
Respectfully,
F. G.. MARLBORO,
Alderman, n. c., September IL.
In publishing the above the Obser-
yer says:
Read Mr.. Yarboro's striking COM
munication, in this issue. Mr.. YarbarO
is one of our best citizens. His action
in returning to the democratic party
will doubtless have great influence
with others of his recent faith.

September II, 10 p. m.-As predicted.
the streets and public places have
again become crowded with beggars
since the closing Of the soup Kitchens.
Nothing could be more ridiculous than
the statement Of Civil Governor Fer
nandez de Castro that van and dis
tress has disappeared. The reasons
which caused the opening OF these
kitchens during the blockade still OBJ
tain in the same degree, and the beg
gars are no better OF today than they
were then. The raising OF the blockade
did not have the effect Of reducing
prices which continue excessive for

AS TO JIM YOUNG
Gov. Russell for His appointment
Alone Responsible: Let the Odfum
Rest Where it Belongs.

Raleigh, N. c., September IA.
To the Editor:
My attention has been attracted to
lengthy and labored articles in The
Progressive Farmer and The Cauca-
sian, alleging that I, as president of
the board of trustees of the North Car
Dina institution for the education of
the deaf, dumb and blind, appointed
the colored politician, James Fl. Young,
as one of the inspecting committee.
1t is only just to the people Of the
state and to myself hat they should
know the whole truth.
was appointed a trustee of the in
StitutiOn by the late lamentCd Gov
ernor Thomas NJ. Holt, and was sub
sequently ~reappointed by the present
incumbent, Governor Daniel L. Rus
sell: these appointments were made
without solicitation on my part, and |
accepted them not as Il politician, but
as a citizen, anxious to do What l
could in an humble way for the bet
torment of these afflicted wards of our
state. L have never sought office, and
never expect to, and never held but
one, and thai is the one referred to:
but to the facts.
AS is we'll known, there are seven
trustees who have the management of
III I'LL dS L ID
called, the president of the board and
six other members. 1t is the duty of
the president to name an inspecting
committee, of two mber each
month. BY a time hOnOred custom
which has become an unwritten law,
these six members are named and
serve by turns, getting around once
in three months. I'm the course of
human events James H. YOung's turn
came and in Difference tn this la w
n as an instrument of the board, and
not through any preference or partial
ity-far from that-named him to per-
form this delicate trust. Had the board
been composed of N set of men, how
ever unworthy or untitled, but ap-
pointed by the governor, I, as their
agent and under the law, would have
had to make up the committee from
such material as was available.
The institution has been greatly
damaged by bringing it into politics.
by putting men Over the afflicted chill
dren whose sole object and purpose is
the distribution of the loaveS and
fishes. This offense lies at the door of
only one man in North Carolina-he
who has the constitutional power to
appoint the board of trustees. Had he
not appointed James H. Young to this
important trust, there would not now
be the great III and cry of a negro
politician inspecting the private rooms
of white women.
The scapegoat racket of the modern
day politician of saddling the innocent
with the sins of the guilty will not
| work, it is too thin-any man of ordi-
nary sense can see through it. The
writer had no more to do with the ap-
pointment of James H. Young as trus-
tee or the exercise of any function as
SUCH. than he has to do with the APP
pointment of the Spanish-American
peace commissioners. Realizing the
very unfortunate state of affairs into
which the institution had fallen and OF
my utter inability to remedy it, l re-

Wise testified in his own defense that
Lieutenant Morgan had ordered the
