FAITHFUL AND PATRIOTIC.

Those who are striving by might
and main, and by day and by night
to defeat the denomination of Con-
gresham Babcock will overreach
themselves. Railing accusations which
are entirely unfounded will ultimate
ly strengthen him with the people. In
the last campaign. Mr.. Babcock sub
ordinated all other issues to the ques-
ton of a sound and stable currency
and declared that to be the great issue
before the country. The people of the
Third district responded by returning
him to congress by the unprecedented
majority of II ,523. 1t is a fact worthy
of note that the newspaper opposition
to him at this time comes mainly from
editors who were silver Republicans
at heart, and who Kindred rather than
aided in the great victory for sound
money. The following shows how
baseless are some of the claims of
the opposition;

this committee. Many bills come be-
fore this committee both from Wash

involving many tlcrent propositions,
Mr.. Babcock's duty is to represent
this committee before the House.
Some times this committee is divided
in it's opinions, and some of it vote
one way and some in another, but the
Chairman is responsible for represent
ing the action and vote of the Commit

from the majority of its members.
Mr. Babcock has frequently sent
me certain propositions in advance,
relating to moral and social questions,
asking my opinion upon them. Similar

REVISION OF DREYFUS CASE
DECIDED UPON AT MEETING OF
FRENCH CABINET.
ORDERS ISSUED FOR DOCUMENTS.
Decision 10 Received With Great Re-
joicing By the Populace-Mob Shouts,
"vive La Revision"

A cable dispatch from Paris states
that at meeting Of the cabinet Mon
day morning, all the ministers being
present, decision was taken in favor
Of q revision of the trial OF former
Captain Dreyfus, aud the documents
in the case will be sent to the court Of
cessation.
The crowds Of people outside the
ministry Of the interior, where the
cabinet council was held, loudly
cheered the ministers, and there were
shouts Of "Vive Brisson," give 10
revision"
The cabinet ordered the minister OF
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court Of casa the petition Of Madame
Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner Of DEVILS
Island, for revision of her husbands
case. The court therefore will decide
the legal question as to whether the
first trial Of Captain Dreyfus was
vitiated by the forgery committed by
the late Colonel Henry, who was a
witness before the courtmartial, and
who confessed to having forged docu-
ment in the case.
The minister of justice has an
nounced that he has given instructions
that proceedings are to be taken i'm
mediately against any one attacking
the army.

fus syndicate to "cover himself with
dishonor by confessing to a forgery, OF
which charge he was twice acquitted"
M. Rochefort adds that he paid Es-
terhazy one thousand francs for copies
Of all the documents in the case and
that, in addition, with two other news
paper men, he paid Esterhazy, who
was literally without centime, three
hundred francs monthly to prevent
him from dying OF hunger while await
ing to obtain pension. Continuing,
NJ. Rochsiort says:
Recently, without any apparent in
oentive, Esterhasy mysteriously went
to London, abandoning his three hun
bred francs monthly. Why this emf

NJ. Clemenceau, in the Aurora, re-
marks: "France Is divided into two
camps, those who conceive that the In
terests of the country depend on the
concealment OF facts by lies, and those
who have a sufficiently high esteem for
the country to separate enthusiasm
from the aspirations of justice and
truth"
The Libre Parole asserts that Major
Esterhazy has telegraphed to the min
lister Of war, General Chanoine, pro-
testing against the story published in
The Observer of London, purporting
to be confession made by the major,
the substance of which was that he
was the author Of the Bordereau, Q

The London Observer OF Sunday
morning continues its Esterhazy rev.
Citations in long article, the most
salient feature Of which is Esterhazy's
disclosure, made, it is asserted, in the
presence Of more persons than one,
that he was the author OF the famous
Dreyfus bordereau which he wrote "at
the request Of Colonel Sandherr, now
dead"
ut was intended" he said, "to
constitute material proof OF Dreyfus'
guilt. 1t was known through French
spy In the service at Berlin that certain
documents had reached the German
general staff which Dreyfus alone could
have obtained. 1t was list Of these
documents which constituted the bor-
dereau. Dreyfus had been tested in
several ways. For instance, q plan
for the concentration Of troops on the
southeastern frontier had been dictated
to him which was quite fantastic. A
short time afterwards our spies in
Italy informed us that the italian staff
was making notifications around Nice,
which correspondent to the changes
announced in the imaginary scheme
dictated to Dreyfus.
"Then Dreyfus managed to spend
long holidays in Alsace without being
apparently found out by the German
authorities-a very suspicious sign, 70,
it was almost impossible for French
officer to remain for any length Of time
in the conquered provinces without
being found out. In fact, there wa.
considerable moral proof against
Drsyfus before the trial took place, but
no material proof.
Colonel Sandherr, who was an AL.
satan, like Dreyfus, but intensely an.
ti-Semitic, determined to forge this
proof. He was convinced Of the &C.
cused mans guilt, but II was neces.
sary for the purposes of the courtmar-
tial that documents should exist.
when Colonel Sandherr told me to
write out the bordereau,I did so with
out the slightest conjunction. I am
one Of those men who are soldiers by
profession, and cling to old medieval
traditions Of military discipline. When
I received an order obeyed 1t implic-
lily and without question. I wrote
the bordereau because Colonel Sand
herr told me to. knew, Of course,
the purposes it was intended to serve.
I knew I was committing forgery;
but I also knew that all intelligence
departments in all countries were run
on precisely the same lines, and that
it was impossible to achieve the results
in any other way.
1T was exclusively upon the evi.
dence OF the bordereau that Dreyfus
was condemned. The document pri-
vately shown to the officers OF the
courtmartial was fetched from the war
department during the trial with the
object Of convincing judges should
they show signs of wavering."

Justice. I next knew him a. principal

which position he arose to that OF super

Twice has he been elected mayor OF the

Is student at law and as a practitioner
before the bar, at which he has made .
successful and envious record. All these
years l knew him as q republican, but
when the z. o. p. declared for the single
gold standard Mr.. Brooks stepped from
their ranks, regardless Of the fact that he
could have had any Office in the county
within the gift of the republican party.
1t was then as now with Mr.. Brooks

is man who believes that the masses
have rights, and he proposes to fight for
them. He has the ability to formulate

A LOUD COMPLAINT.
Porto Rican Papers Tell of Military
OQtfQRea

OuNTu8e0.
Washington, Nov. 5. - Some of the
Porto Rican newspapers have been
publishing articles bitterly criticising
the conduct Of the United States sol
diers sent to the island as permanent
garrison. The soldiers have been ac-
cused of all sorts of misdemeanors. of
rufttanism, of petty larceny, Of the de-
struction OF private property, and, in
fact, Of every kind of excess The
charges reflected particularly upon the
volunteer regiments, and were so gen
eral and earnest that Secretary Alger
felt called upon to take formal notice
Of them. 1t was evident that if they
were well founded the Porto Ricuns
were likely to be alienated from their
new allegiance almost before they
had become fairly attached. So a
cablegram was sent to Maj. Gen.
Brooke. commanding all Of the United
States troops in Porto Rico, calling his
attention to these reports. The an
swer came in the shape of the follow
ing cablegram from Gen. Brooke:
bad behavior of our soldiers in
Ponce province is news to me- Col.
Castleman. commanding the provis-
lonal brigades there, is now with me,
and says report is entirely unfounded.
New regiments coming in were unset
tied for few days, but are all away
from there now and at their regular
stations. Brooke"

ENGLAND Is READY.
What the Present Demonstration Is
Said to Mean.

Kingston, JAM, Nov. 5.-The British
naval authorities ut Port Royal. the
naval headquarters here, express the
opinion that the order for the mobil-
iZation of the British North American
and the West Indian squadrons forms
part of grand, comprehensive scheme
for q naval demonstration on the Pa
cific and Atlantic intended to indicate
Great Britain's readiness to face any
and all possible hostile developments
Great Britain, it is added. fully real
ICES the menaces of the future, and
would as soon accept war now with
France or Russia, or both, and the
present determined demonstration in
dicates that the issue rests with these
powers. 1t is believed that neither Of
them will accept the challenge. But
should they do SO, Great Britain can
never be more prepared than now,
especially in view of the possible ar
rangement Of an American pnder-
standing and in view of the fact that
the Marquis Of Salisbury's govern
mcnt has the support Of all the polit-
ical parties in Great Britain.
