The Nebraska senatorship.

j. Sterling Morton's conservative.
The republicans may. and in all probable
ity will. have the power to name the next
United States senator from Nebraska. And
any political organization which has that
power ought to feel the great responsibility
Of rightfully using it for the best interests
and the exaltation Of the best citizenship
Of this growing and prosperous common
wealth. Nothing emasculates the reputa-
ton of a state with such certainty as the
promotion OF unworthy characters to &C.
cupy its high places. The experience OF
the republican party in Nebraska teaches
tina nothing can SO speedily convert a ma
jority into a minority as the election to
responsible positions of men who are men
tally and morally irresponsible.
That the coming election Of a United
States senator may result In a wise choice
and give Nebraska a representative In
Washington Of whom even his opponents
may be proud is a consummation devoutly
to be wished.

To people accustomed to court pro-
cedure founded on the English common
law, the suggestion that Dreyfus may
be brought back to France to save the
great cost of examining him by caOle in
the revision Of his trial must come as
a peculiar and by no means attractive
feature of French criminal jurispru-
dence. With us the meanest criminal is
entitled to be present at his trial, not
as a privilege or to save cable tolls, but
as a right guaranteed him by the law
and the constitution. He is entitled not
only to know the charge against him
but to be confronted Ey the witnesses
and to have the power of compulsory
evidence in his defense. Nothing could
so strikingly illustrate the marked diff
ference between criminal procedure here
and abroad than the abandoned proposal
to examine Dreyfus in his defense ove
ocean cable, with the opportunity to
operators ut either end to earble 4ues-
tons and answers.

The Presidents Message.

The message Of the President was
sent in to Congress on Monday. 1t
is quite lengthy document, as was
to have been expected, considering
the large number of subjects to be
treated.
1t is an able, conservative and
statesmanlke document.
1t pays high and eloquent tribute
to the patriotism of the people and
to the gallantry and bra\ cry Of our
soldiers and sailors.
Best, and above all, it lays down
the fact, in grateful phrase, that the
grand and glorious victories achieved
were due to the guiding and protect
ing hand Of Him "who rules. in the
armies of heaven and among the
children Of men," and humbly be-
seeches the divine guidance and as
sistance for the future of the repub-
lie.
With regard to finances it takes
the broad ground that Congress
should at once take steps to preserve
the National credit by enacting such
laws as will maintain the present
gold standard.
Taken throughout it is a document
well worth the time it takes to give
it careful and dispassiOnate read
ing.
