ZOLA HANDICAPPED.

M. Emile Zola criticised the court which acquitted Captain Esterhazy and then charged that Captain Drey- fus had been unjustly convicted and eXiled. That was too much for French judicial integrity and Zola was at once charged with labelling the court that acquitted Esterhazy He was placed upon trial and every effort was made to bar any evidence to show that Dreyfus was treated unfairly. The affair.
 The evidence produced showed con- clusively that Dreyfus was improperly convicted, but it did not bear so was wrongfully acquitted. The latter, however, was so compromised by the statements of witnesses that the belief exists in the minds of fair people that Esterhazy and not Dreyfus should have been sent to the Devils Island
 Zola has been condemned to one year in prison, in addition to a heavy fine, but the process of an appeal will keep him out of prison for awhile It is scarcely believed that French fairness will crop out when the appeal is made The court that tried Zola was deter mined to convict him, and to convict him in order to satisfy the clamor of the Jew haters. The court was fear ful that revolution against the re- public would follow an acquittal of the novelist; therefore he had to be cop- victed.
 The French republic was virtually on trial, and it has convicted itself by an admission that the army con- trOls the court and dictates yerdicts.

The Republican is in error, as usual, when it states the Gazette is interested in either getting or holding office. Not one of the proprietors of the Gazette nor any member of it's staff holds any office or trust, profit, honor or emolu- ment under the federal, state, county or municipal government. No office is sought and, so far, no office has come this way seeking an occupant. Our business is to publish the news, not to hold office; neither to kneel at the feet of those who do hold. office, simply to secure crumbs from their table. No one connected with the Ga zette wants to be either president or postmaster Gazette.
 My! My! Can this be the ex-auditor talking? It must be, for he is the only responsible Gazette man in town. But what has come over him? No office is sought ?"-"Our business not to hold ofiice?''- Neither to kneel at the feet of those who do hold oftice?' Whew! Likewise, Great Scott!

WE ARE GETTING ON.

The Republican is making giant strides on the south side. The villagers and farmers of that favored region beyond the Salt river now find it possible to read an up-to-date morning newspaper before the news is stale. Their opportunities in this line will be increased large ly in a day or two when The Re- publican's new railroad bicycle is put into service. This ma chine, the latest and best inven- tion in railroad wheels, will en- able our south side hustler to reach Mesa by rail in not to ex- ceed thirty minutes. Tempe will get its Republican by sun-up.
 The Republican is on the alert to serve it's patrons and give more than value received

The French republic, in spite of Zola's conviction, is weaker now than it was one month ago. It is convicted of cowardice, and the army-a most pow erful element in Francois now in a position to dictate terms to the civil government upon any issue it may seek to raise tor its own benefit. The trial proved nothing in the way of con- tradicting Zola's charges of injustice in the trials Of both Dreyfus and Els terhazy. Nothing that he asserted has been refuted. The mere conviction of the novelist proves nothing in the direction of discrediting his charges. Zola has opened the eyes of the French people, and the end of the epi- sode is not yet. Zola has vindicated himself and he can afford to accept his punishment.

Temple Houston, son of Gener

Temple Houston, son of General Sam Houston, several years ago pre- sented the sword surrendered by Gen. eral Santa Anna at San Jacinto to the city of Cincinnati, because that city had sent two pieces of artillery to the Texas patriots to aid them in their struggle for liberty. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, who are col lecting a museum of relics of the war, have applied to the city for the sword, which they wish to place with their collection. It will be a most graceful act if Cincinnati complies with the re- quest, and the consent of MT. Houston, which would be asked first no doubt, would hardly be withheld under the circumstances.

CHICAGO NEWS PROVERBS.

The hustle as a work of art gets the bulge on nature.
 Balloons and tramps have no visible means of support.
 It's better to be up with the lark than down with the measles.
 The bed tick is never heard in the silent watches of the night
 A warm bite from a dog is not a soft snap for the poor tramp.
 No matter how red a mans hair may be, he never likes to lose it.
 Before marriage a woman clings to a mans neck; after marriage she walks on it.
 The bird on a woman's bonnet can't sing, but it makes her husband whistle when he gets the bill for it.
 Saying the right thing at the right time is equivalent to keeping your mouth shut when you have nothing to say.

CASABIANCA TO DATE.
The boy stood on the backyard fence,
Whence all but him had fed;
The flames that lit his fathers barn
Shone just above the shed.
One bunch of crackers in his hand,
The others in his hat,
With piteous accents loud he cried,
81 never thought of that"
"a bunch of crackers to the tail
Of one small dog he'd tied,
The dog had sought the'well-tilled barn
And mid it's ruins diedl.
The sparks flew wide and red and hot;
They lit upon that brat;
They fired the crackers in his hand,
And exc those in his hat.
Then came a burst of rafting sound
The boy Where had he gone?
Ask of the winds that far around
Strewed bits of meat and bone
And scraps of clothes, and knives, and
top,
And nails, and hooks and yarn
The relics of that dreadful boy
That burned his fathers barn!

The following is taken from f. M.
La Follette's letter in which he an
nounces that he will be'a candidate for
governor before the republican state
convention. and it will strike respon-
sive chord in the minds of thinking peo-
pie whether they favor his candidacy
or not.
"The people of Wisconsin, especially,
have been made to feel the weight OF
this unequal burden by the levy of an
exceptionally large direct tax, followed
by the easy and ineXcusable escape of
seeping-car companies, express COM
panies and trust companies, from legis-
lation designed to subject them to share
in taxation. Common justice demands,
and places the responsibility on the do
minant party in every state to enact,
laws that shall make the state an in
strument of righteousness instead of
a creator Of inequality in the matter of
taxation.
when it is considered that some of
the vecy corporations which wholly es-
cape taxation, furnish free transporta-
ton to public officials under the guise
OF an official courtesey,' the pass and
frank question becomes an issue in
Wisconsin politics which viii never be
settled until the use of passes by public
officials Is prohibited by law. The peo-
pie Of this state will brook no further
triiing on this subject. No quibbling
Or evasion will serve. No violation or
reputation of platform promises will
be tolerated. There must be plain
dealing and no complaint can be made
if bond of good faith is demanded with
the pledge.

Central Wisconsin, Rep: This talk

Central Wisconsin, Rep: This talk
ABOUT the acceptance of railroad passes
and telegraph and express franks not
influencing the votes of the recipients
is bosh of the most nonsensical kind,
The official who solicits and receives
favOrs of direct cash value cannot but
be influenced thereby: He may intend
TO be impartial and honest~=Ais motl1,,cc -
NAV be pure. but his heart will surely
warm towards those corporations which
have favored him. 1t could not be
otherwise. The railroad, express and
telegraph companies appreciate this
fully, else in the dispensation of favors
they would not select only those in a
position TO return "value received. {"
Putting the best face possibl eupon the
custom it still remains counteDanced
method of bribery, the more despicable
because it is yelled. Men are bribed
with passes and franks who would
scorn to accept money consideration
for their influence and vote, and some
of them do not appear to realize that
they are under corporate control. 1t
is a disgraceful condition which has
developed in this and other states and
the only wonder is that public opinion
has not forced a cessation of the prac-
ticc long ago.
