I'll DREYFUS CASE.
Its Present Legal Status is Defined
by a Leading Member of the
French Bar.

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to the
World from Paris Y Jules Perivier,
a leading member of the French bar,
explains the present legal status of the
Dreyfus case as follows:
~"Judicially, the ministerial decision to
IcIer the case to an examining commits
sion Of three decides nothing except the
resifting of the Dreyfus dossier in the
light Of recent events. The commission's
finding Will determine whether there shall
be Il revision or not.
The decision is important politically in
that It reveals and approves the senti-
ment Of he country in favor of a re-
vision"
Paris IS quiet outwardly. There seems
to be j sense Of relief because a revision
has virtually been determined upon.
But there is a great commOtion among
the chiefs of the army. They u~ndoubted-
~ have the disposition, if not the courage,
to try to prevent a revision of the elcV-
enth hour by a military coup d'etat.
VI. CavalgnaC, who resigned lately as
minister of war, and who has cast his lot
unreservedly with the army, is pointed TO

ment will be a most effective bar against
such designs. 1t has yeered around COM

WILL INSPECT TRAINS.
Steps Taken to Prevent the Spread of
Yellow Fever.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 19.-The sur
ge0n-general of the marine hospital service
has about completed a system for the in
s~pection of trains on all railroads in the
district in the state of Mississippi infected
with yellow fever. Inspectors have been
placed upon all the roads, with one eXcep-
ton, and this line will be supplied at an
early date. The system has been estab-
lished for the purpose of checking the
spread of fever so far as practicable, and
it is the purpose of the bureau to
make it as effective in this direction as
possible. Passed Assistant Surgeon
Simpson is in charge of the service.
New Orleans, La, Sept. 19.-At the
board of health today it is stated that
there was no information of any other
case of yellow fever than that Of Mallory
Kennedy, announced on Saturday.
The United States barracks is quar-
antined against the city, and none of the
troops there will be allowed to come into
the city.
New Orleans is tied up as a result Of
the outside guarantees. The railroads
and business community especially are
suffering.
Mobile, Ala, Sept. Blowing to quar-
antine restrictions, the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad company annulled their
day passenger schedule south of Mobile

fished 4 quarantine camp at the state

is rank with free coinage it will not catch
the Populist vote. Free silver is beaten
and played out. General prosperity has
given it the finishing thrust. The sound
money Democrats of the state will never
under any circumstances support the 40
cent dollar platform adopted at Spring
field. In two years the number of Demo-
Gratis favoring the 100-cent dollar has
largely increased. The Democratic man
ayers are right. There is a great deal of
apathy in their party, and they will find
also plenty of positive dislike of continued
silver agitation among those who support
ed free coinage in the decisive trial Of
1896.
Opposed to an apathetic party, which
articles of faith, is the united Republican
organization, whose steady gains have
long assured its coming ascendancy in the
state.

Prosperity in the Mining CamDS

THE cash paid out in the mining
camps every week." says a Southwest
Missouri paper, sis now 1854, 900 instead
of $4,000 under free trade. This money
goes largely to laboring men, who pay
much of 1t out for necessary supplies for
themselves and families. while the farm
ers around are getting their share. Is it
any wonder that it requires two big fairs
in Springfield this year to show up the
results of the prosperous times under a
Republican national administration and
Republican policy? We tried to hold one
fair under free-trade policy and failed.
but there will be no failures this year
unless the weather absolutely forbids. for
the people are coming by hundreds and by
thousands and by tens of thousands.
They have something to bring and money

ton Of the title was not such Il bitter,

A real homework lady, with neat. dain-

WAS ALMOST STARVED.
Novelist .Hamlin Garland's Expert
ence In Alaska Almost Costs
His Life.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 19.-Hamlin Gar
land, the noted novelist, has reached Pine
Creek, the newest gold camp in Alaska,
after d narrow escape from death by star
vation on the terrible Spokane route. He
has been months on a 10O-mile journey,
taken up at the instance of prominent
Canadians, and owes his life to good luck
rather than anything else. He is now on
his way home to Chicago by easy stages.
He started for Dawson City from Ash
croft, expecting to make a hurried trip
into the interior. He had been promised
a good trail with plenty Of food for bis
horses.
At first everything was as represented.
With every mile that he put between him
self and Ashcroft, though, the trail grew
worse, until at last it was almost m
passable. Hundreds Of miners gave up
the trip and branched off toward the coast,
hoping IN some way to find their way
back to civilization.
Mr.. Garland pushed on, thinking it less
dangerous to keep TO the trail than risk
reaching the coast without a compass. At
last the trail faded suddenly from view
and the party had nothing to follow. For
days they wandered on through SwampS
and timber lands, and none of them knew
where the end would be. Fortunately
they had the correct general direction, and
after being on short rations for several
days, stumbled into a Hudson Bay post.
They replenished their outfits and start
ed again for the Stickeen. The distance
was misrepresented and their food began
to run short, while the end of the journey
seemed no nearer. Mr.. Garland put his
men on short rations and kept moving on.
At last he reached the Stickeen, very
much exhausted, and with but few of the
many horses which he had started out
with. From there he took a steamer to
the Pine Creek country.

Probable Redemption of Missouri,

The Globe Democrat: Alarm prevails
among Democratic managers throughout
Missouri. They have been feeling the
pulse Of the party and the conditions are
unsatisfactory. Even the heavy Demo-
cratic counties decline to enthuse. They
seem weary and Indifferent. The man
ayers remember we'll the results of a SINH
lar fatigue and lack of interest in 1894.
In that year the Republicans carried the
state, secured a majority in the Legis-
lature and elected eleven of the fifteen
congressman. Ii is estimated that h. 600
Democrats failed to vote. They were
d1sgusted with their party, and have more
reason for the feeling now than they had
then. But for the abandonment Of old
Democratic principles in 1896 and fusion
with the Populists in behalf of de0ased
money the Democratic party of Missouri
could not have recovered from the signal
defeat of four years ago. Free coinage
has been beaten, and the POpulists are
no longer voting the Democratic ticket
without greater inducements thar are of
fered in this state. SO distinctly ~unfavor-
able is the outlook that the Democratic
leaders and organs are harping on the
word APATHY" and advising special meas
ures of so.ne kind to get out the vote,
especially in the party strOngholds.
The Republicans carried Missouri in
1894 on the merits of the situation. Many
Democrats had turned against their own
national administration in control of all
departments of the government. The
party was self-condemned. BY an amaz-
ing change of front on financial questions
the Democrats in 1896 combined with the
Populists and were oyerthrown in the
country at large, though the fusion
strengthened them for the moment in
Missouri. But the Populists are now out
of the alliance. The Democrats must
rely on themselves in the approaching No
vember contest. Though their platform

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.
Scarcely a City or Village that is
Not Feeling It's Influence.
REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH
The Course of the Administration il
Beneficial TOR all Classes of
People.

Since the crushing defeat in 1896 of
the free silver conglomeration assuming
the name of Democracy, the opposition
press and speakers have been tauntingly
asking, Where is the promised era of
prosperity that was to follow Republican
success?' The question implied that the
four years of industrial disaster which
followed the return to power of the Dem
Ocratic party was to be overcome as by a
miracle. But the results of financial i'm
policy, however rapidly they may occur,
are not thus readily removed or cured.
Very soon there were signs of returning
prosperity, however, and the Republican
party had not been in power a year be-
tore there was Il p~erceptible revival OF
BUSINESS; and now, within eighteen
months of the accession to power of the
Republican party that business revival
has swept over the whole land, and there
is scarcely a city or village or community
that has not felt its influence. The de-
mand for labor has greatly increased, and
prices have Ill many cases improved. Al
though the crops of last year were among
the most bOuntiful that lave been gath
cred for years, the prices were good and
tor months have been for some articles
the largest received in many years. SO
that the farmers have been enabled to
pay Oh LIlIiIOuS VI lIIClCDleuIeSS, anu
thousands of homes been thus released
from encumbrances.
X. G.. Dun < Co.'S review of trade for
the first week in September reports the
volume OF business larger than it has
ever been. Investors in Europe have.
bought heavily of American stocks and
bonds, while the bank clearings for the
week, one of the best indicators of bust
ness. have shown an increase IN all the
cities quoted but two. ranging in amount
from , TO u per cent. Another evidence
of great Improvement in the times is the
diminishing number of business failures.
as compared with the same time in the
last four years. These statements
CLEANED from the most reliable sources at
hand, are sufficient answer to the aunt
ing question, which is cow no longer
heard, Where is the promised prosper
lty" The prosperity is here in larger
volume than many dared predict. and it
is the most complete evidence that the
policy of the Republican party is the one
which best promotes the interests of all
industrial classes and therefore contrib
utes to the growth and stability of the
country.
These facts should be sufficient to indi-
cate to every voter on which side of the
political controversy his real interests lie
and in what way he can best promote
those interests. The promises OF political
platforms and campaign speeches are not
to be trusted when they cOntrayene what
has actually occurred within the knOwl-
edge Of the most casual observer. In pO-
liticdI matters men should depend upon
their own enlightened understanding and
the reason based upon it-they should act
upon those c~0mmon-sense principles
which govern them in the ordinary affairs
Of life.
