THE FRENCH TRIAL.

The French trial, rather than the Zola trial.
Is what II Is to be called. for that Is exactly
what il Is More and more each day 1t becomes
evident that the nominal prosecutor Is the real
defendant and the nominal defendant the real
prosecutor Interest turns not nearly so much
upon whether NJ lola is 10 be acquitted or con-
v,cted as upon what revelations Of justice or
Injustice in the Dreyfus and Esterhazy trials
that indomitable htgant will succeed in max
ing The efforts Of the prosecution have from
the first been directed not TO the conviction OF
NJ. lola, but to the prevention Of any such
revelations To that end evidence has been
sunnressed In n manner that would be lntoler
able in country with less antiquated code OF
procedure than that Of France. Nor Is 1t pos
sible to acQuit the Court OF seeming partiaiity
toward the counsel engaged and the witnesses
heard What can be described only as stump
speeches and harangues have been made at VIII
by the prosecution, both by counsel and by Wit
nesses But the defence has not been permitted
to utter a word in reply. If the Dreyfus ana
Esterhazy trials cast suspicion upon military
Justice In France, civil justice is not being VIM
dicated by the lola trial.
In spite of the handicap Of suppressed evil
dence and the gagging of counsel, however, NJ.
Zola has succeeded in bringing out some start
ling facts In support of his famous letter OF ac-
cusation He has shown that the expert tcsti-
mony on which the discriminating memorandum
WAS declared to have been written by Captain
Dreyfus was Of the fimsiest and most con-
temptible description. 1t amounted simply 10
this. that the writing did not at all resemble
Drevfus's wherefore II must have been his.
Only a few men could be found TO testify thus
absurdly The great majority OF experts un-
hesitatingly declare that the document was not
written by Captain Drcyfus. but was probably
written by Major Esterhazy. There Is no doubt
that such is the opinion Of II majority OF I'M
partial observers in France The men who are
to be regarded as opponents Of the best public
sentiment have expressed themselves TO that
effect The army officers concerned In the case
Of course maintain the contrary. and the Gov
eminent as a matter of form agrees with them.
But such opinions are partisan. and they are,
moreover lacking in courage, since the ground
on which they are based Is not revealed. Not
until the books are opened and all the details
Of the Dreyfus case made clear will there be
assurance that NJ Zolas terrible accusations
are not well founded. To make such assurance
doubly sure is a duty France owes TO all con
cerned and most OF all to herself.

THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.

II is said that Senator Murphy's vote for the
Teller silver resolution and the defence of 1t
ny his party representatives in the Legislature
huve settled the election in this State nine
months in advance and guaranteed another
overwhelming victory for the Republican sound
money forces. This may be So 1t doubtless
would be so except for one fact. Senator Muir
phys vote at Washington and its ratification at
Albany constituted monstrous double blum
der, and something more than that. The sup
port of policy which is hostile 10 all the vast
interests of the Empire State and against which
the people rolled up majority of 270,000 in
1896 is an amazing betrayal Of the great con-
resents in the Senate of the United States.
There can be no possible question Of the feel
ing with which his course is regarded. There
Is Just one thing which may conceivably pro-
vent such a declaration of that feeling at the
polls next November as some persons consider
already as good as made The fact which may
operate TO annu the immense advantage Of po-
sition that Sci stor Murphy and his defenders
have bestowed upon the Republican party is
the fact that the man who refused to let the
Republicans of this city elect Mayor last fall
unless they would accept his minority cand-
dete is willing to let the Republicans of this
State win next fall only by his methods and
with his men.

GOLD PAYMENTS POSSIBLE.

Gold payments by the Treasury are now
thought not improbable by bankers. Dlsburse-
ments of gold at clearing houses and in ordinary
settlements not because a creditor wants CON-
but because the Treasury can spare coin more
readily than notes. would mark wonderful
change since the gloomy time, little more than
a year ago, when the daily and nightly COM
plant OF the then President and Secretary Of
the Treasury was that banks aud people were
continually working an endless chain" to get
out gold. decent tariff. without any other
change Of laws, has broken the endless chain al
ready Gold has been going Into the Treasury
so fast and greenbacks are demanded for com
mercal use so largely, that the Treasury for
the first time In five years Is embarrassed by
having too much gold. 1t Is painful to silver
men, and likewise 10 some impatient advocates
of banking currency, that this state OF things
should come without remedies they urge. But
business and theories about business have not
always speaking acquaintance. Secretary
Gage IS so practical man that II he can cstab-
lish public credit on n solid footing by teaching
a perverse generation that the Government does
not value gold above its notes he will seize the
opportunity to do so.
The Treasury held on Thursday sec 457 $50

ONE FACTION DESIRES HER RES.
TORATION TO THE THRONE.
ANOTHER ACCEPTS The NEW REGIME
And Asks for Certain Rights Under The Terrific
rial Government Commissioners Clos
ing Work. Wilcox Thinks
Flag will Come Down.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-The steam
ship Alameda arrived today from Aus
tralian points via Honolulu. Advices
from the latter place under date of Sep
tember 14th. say that the Congressional
commissioners are finishing their work
and expect to leave for Washington on
September Odd The commissioners are
now being deluged with petitions and me-
MORALS from the native Hawaiians. The
sentiment of the natives appears to be
divided. One faction desires the resto-
ration of the Queen. while the other ac-
cepts the new order of affairs and asks
for certain rights under the new form
of government The natives who favor
restoration held mass meeting on Sep
tembcr 10Th and adopted a memorial
which was presented to the commission
ers. The memorial alleges that the an
nexation treaty has failed and the joint
resolution is ineffective because it was
not passed by the people of the Hawaiian
Islands or the representative of legisIa-
ture. The memorial concludes by asking
that the constitutional government of
January 10th, 1896. be restored under
the protection of the United States Of
America. Among the speakers of the
mass meeting was Robert w. Wilcox.
the reyoluti0niSt who n few weeks ago
took the oath of allegiance in order to
qualify himself for full pardon for
past misdeeds.
Pointing TO the United States flag over
the government buildings, he said:
1T is useless to say that the flag oves
there will not come down again. 1t was
up before and it came down. 1t will bA
because that annexation vote was carried
through by a handful of foreigners. If
America loves us. why were not Hawaii
ans placed on the commission? We are
not represented there The next thing
we shall not be able to vote"
The other faction of Hawaiians has
also presented a memorial to the com
mission. The memorial asks for n ter
ritorial form of government, with full
rights for the natives and permission
to make appropriations for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, Princess Kaiulani and
Queen Dowager Kapiolani.
