it who did not believe at the time Of
Dreyfus' conviction that he was guilty.
Even his co-reigionists were humili-
ated by his downfall, without their
questioning until afterward the justice
or validity of his sentence.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
been invited to speak at the banquet
which the Baltimore society will give
on the occasion of Dreyfus' "exonera-
tion and complete vindication by the
court of cessation" Unfortunately for
these enthusiasts the court of cassa-
tion has neither the power nor the
jurisdiction to eXonerate or vindicate
Dreyfus. 1t can revise his sentence, re-
call him, and demand another trial. but
that is as far as it can go. There is
not the slightest probability that Drey-
fus will be vindicated or eXonerated in
the sense in which the foolish propa-
gandists of Baltimore anticipate. Drey-
fus will be brought back to France and
liberated, while the world will vindi-
cate him as best it may without the
aid of the French War department or
the court of cessation. This would
be the ordinary course. But If the
echo of such an agitation as that
set on foot in Baltimore reaches France,
as of course it will, it may arouse the
subsding passions Of Frenchmen, and
Dreyfus again may bid farewell to lib
erty. That is the danger without a
shadow of tangible compensation. The
name of Senator Morgan coupled with
such an undertaking would give it an
official sanction in the eyes of the
French people which would indissolu-
bly,, although of course unjustly, con-
meet it with the administration.
Frenchmen know little enough of the
political phenomena of their own gov
ernment. let alone ours. to understand
how little the senator from Alabama is
identified with the representative ofiic-
ial sentiment of the United States.

THE QUAY TRIAL.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
With the trial Of Senator Quay about
to begin, we do not propose at this time
to discuss the letters and telcgrams and
evidence that were spread before the
public at the time of the magistrates
hearing, and which seemed to have been
given out at that time as one step in
political game. Now that the case is to
be called, it is TO be hoped that the trial
will be "A thorough one, and that the pub
Iic will be given full information.
-:o:-
For instance the public would like to
know, among other things, what persons,
if any, had access to the Peoples bank
before the bank examiner took charge;
what person or persons, if any, gathered
up the securities; what became OF those
securities and where are they today; why
X-Auditor-Gcneral Mylin and eX-StaJe
Treasurer Haywood, who as pTiavteN in
dividuals had borrowed something less
than $4,000 upon more than ample Sc
Curities, have been unable TO effect a set
tlement with the bank because they have
been refused the return OF their securi-
ties what papers, if any, were photo
graphed, and what purpose, political or
otherwise, these photographs We're eX-
pectcd to serve; why prosecution was de-
layed for six months, until the very height
of a political campaign which Waged
around Senator Quay as the storm center.
%
Receiver Barlow had full informatio
concerning the banks condition and the
private papers of Cashier Hopkins for
fully six months. There is every reason
to believe that Judge Gordon also had
exact information Probably other per-
sons had, too, and yet the attention of
District Attorney Graham was not called
to the matter until within twcnty-fOur
hours Of the issuance of the warrants.
lie has so declared time and time again,
and there IS not the slightest reason TO
doubt his word. Tho warrants were
based upon the information Of an under
ling in his office, who could not have had
any original information whatever. This
constable, or whatever lie is, Is not the
prosecutor. Who is the prosecutor, or
who are the prosecutors? why have their
names been so carefully guarded from the
public?
The answers to these questions doubt
less would make very Interesting reading.
II is most certainly to be hoped that we
shall have the fun story at last. 1t is
certainly high time, ana more than high
time-bY more than seven mOnths-if the

Prosperity
New Haven Journal

New Haven Journal
 No wonder the owners of cotton mills in New England are grooming and that there is depression in Fall River and other "mill towns" The stockholders of 9 cotton mill in Yorkville, N. G.. have just re ceived q dividend for the last fiscal year of 124 per cent. The report ot the secretary showed that this con- cern had made net profit of over twenty-five per cent during the year, so that the dividend absorbed only half of the earnings. The bal ance was set aside for betterments. The plant began operations a little over seven years ago. During that time it has annually made costly improvements, every dollar of the money so expended being paid out of the earnings. Notwithstanding this great outlay he official figures show that the mil has paid back to its stockho elders, in dividends alone, more money than the stock they hold cost them. The plant has nearly doubled its origiginai value, and there is now in the treasury a sum which will go far towards doubling the present capacity of the mill, q step which the management in tends to take soon.
 With the raw material at their doors and the latest machinery ln- side their doors, fl is clear that the southern cotton mills have great ad- vantages over the TOT thern ones.

Peace Assured.

As has been predicted from the very inception of the war, Spain has sued for peace. A hopeless bankrupt from the beginning, her navy swept from the sea, the flower of her army surrendered she has at last been forced to see the utter hopelessness of so unequal a con- Aiet. She must make peace abroad to prevent internal disruption. In. trigue and treachery have long been at work to corrupt Ter officials, while a pretender has been watching for the first indication of weakness to wrest the throne from the infant K ing. Nothing save the prcyerbial vanity of Spanish character made war with the United States possible at first, and the uncertain events of such a war, might lead the United States into serious complications withother nations which justified its continuance. But at last shehas come to 8 sense of her pitiable condition. The French ambassador Cambou has been given full power to act from the Madrid government and with these credentials authorizing him to act as penipotentiacy of the Spanish government and advised on every point at issue, he not only received the peace conditions laid down by the American cabinet earlier in the negotiations, but those in the final discussion.
 After strong argument the presi- dent and Secretary Day agreed to a modification of the American terms in only one particular, the nature of which is not disclosed but it is not believed to apply to the condition of the freedom of Cuba, the cession of Porto Rico or the granting of adequate coaling stations in the Pacific or to abridge in any vital particular the terms on which peace will be restored.
