For the moment the Dreyfus affair IS

tween the general staff and the civil
law. General Zurlinden and his col.
leagues have scored the first trick, but
they will hardly venture to claim the

to be mistaken, of a healthy reaction
against this all absorbing Cesarism.

more sacred than the Mosque Of Omar.
That is a fact which is often ignored by
Europeans, who forget that to turn the
Mahomme dams out of the Temple
Enclosure would disturb the whole
Moslem world, from the Straits Settle

forget that Mahommedan pilgrims from

THE CHARGE AGAINST COLONEL PIC
QUART.
Times London, Nov. 20.


The debate which took place ysster-
day in the French Chamber Of Deputies
does not exhibit either the Dupuy Cab
met or the majority Of the Assembly IN
a very enviable light. The Premier and
the Minister of War refused to interfere
to prevent the court martial on Colonel
Plcquart from being hurried on before
the proceedings ordered IN the Dreyfls
affair by the Court of Cessation, in which
he is an indispensable witness, have
been completed. The Chamber gave
its approval to this decision, though,
curiously enough, on grounds which the
Prime Minister himself as well as M
Ribat, who is esteemed a high const.
tutional authority had reFudiated--
namely, the assumption that to order
the postponement of the proceedings
against Colonel Picquart by the military
authorities would be a breach Of the rule
which marks of the Independent spheres
OF the Judicial and the executive powers.
But though the determination OF the
Government to remain seated, at this
crisis, on the fence has been approved
by majority Of 437 votes against 70, the
debate gave not little encourage
to those Frenchmen who have been
fighting a long and, as it seemed at one
time, hopeless battle in the cause Of
Justice.
1t is within the bounds OF possibility
that General Zurlinden may have no
stomach for fight which promises TO
be much severer one than he origin
ally contemplated. The rumors of his |
resignati97 may be aniouuded or pre-
mature, but they cannot be put aside as
devoid Of probability, and the same
thing may be said of the report that
Colonel Picquart is likely to be released !
on bail. In any case, 1t is doubtful If |
the military fanatics will dare, in exist.
ing circumstances. to wreak their ven 1
geance on the man they hate as an

II the present movement of public |
opinion in France continues, they will |
have to assume a defensive rather than |
an offensive attitude. The frank dis. |
closures of VI. PoIncare and the mala- |
droit Intervention Of NJ. Cavaignac, have |
placed General Mercier and his immed. |

AT a meeting of the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections
the charges of bribery against
Senator Hanna, made by the Ohio
state senate in connection with the
Senator's election to his present
term of office, were briefly discuss
ed and referred to a subcommittee
consisting ofIfSenators Hoar, Tur-
ley and Spooner. The sub-com-
mittee will investigate the matter,
and has decided how far it is neces-
sary to go into the matter. The
charges were filed during the last
session of Congress, and were not
pressed by their authors.

The disappearance OF sectional-
ism as the result Of the war has
already been publicly alluded to on
the floor of the Senate and it is
quite evident that a new era is be-
ing welcomed. Senator Smith OF
New Jersey, says: THE trip of
the president to the South is one
of the best things that can happen.
1t is not only a pleasing act on the
part of the president, but it will
give the South an opportunity to
show its regard for him. The
South today cannot be outdone in
patriotism. The people OF that
section think more of national af-
fairs and, believe, reverence the
office of president of the United
States more than the citizens of
any other section. Perhaps it may
be that they are more demOnstra-
tive than the people of the North,
but | think it is also because they
have a different point of view.
The Southern people have more
time to give to political questions
than do the people of the North,
with whom the struggle for exist
ence is more exacting.

ORDER.

On this day came on to be heard
before me at chambers in Wagner,
Indian Territory, the motion CT ap-
pellees in the above cause to dis
charge the supersedeas heretofore is
sued by the clerk of the United
States court at Ardmore, npon tie
ground that the supersedas bond ap-
proved by said clerk was not condi-
toned as required by law, and be-
cause the American Surety Company,
the only surety on said bond, was
not authorized by law, to guarantee
the performance and conditions of
the bond; and having heard said
motion aud duly considering the
same, am of ths opinion thai it
ought to be sustained. and that said
supersedeas should be discharged.
The conditions of the bond approved
by the clerk are insufficient to pro-
tect the appellees pending appeal,
because of the conditions of the
bond, the appellant, the Denison and
Northern Railway Company is only
bound to perform the judgment ap-
pealed from, and any judgment
that may be rendered on appeal by
having its property forthcoming for
that purpose; and there is no pro-
vision in the bond for any personal
liability in any contingency what
ever except for the costs of the suit.
1 hold, therefore, that the bond 10
deficient in its conditions and that
the supersedas should be discharged
for that reason. hold, also, that
the American Surety Company is not
qualified to make bonds in the Unit
ed States courts in the Indian Terri
tory it being q nonresident of the
Indian Territory and not the
owner of any property in the
Indian Territory as required by
Section 5301 of Manfsld's Di-
Digest. This statute is still in force,
Notwithstanding the provisions of
the act of Congress approved August
18th. 1894, entitled "An act relative
to recognizances, stipulations, bonds
and undertakings and to allow GER
tain corporations to be accepted as
sureties thereon" That act was
passed for one purpose and section
5301 was passed for another, and
wholly different, purpose. They are
not in conflict and the requirement
that sureties on supersedeas bonds
and other bonds required to be exc
cuted in judicial proceedings in the
Indian Territory shall own property
therein sufficient to satisfy and dis
charge bonds is still the law, bind
ing upon indemnity companies as
we'll as individuals when offered, as
sureties on such bonds.
1 am further of the opinion that
the act of Congress of August 1s,
1894, above mentioned, is not appli-
cable to any bonds required to be
made in the courts of the Indian
Territory. Section 2 of that act pro-
vidos that no such company shall do
business under the act until it shall,

Why the Renters are Leaving,

j. w. Porter of Grady was in
the city Yesterday. He saws that
natives in his community who
have been holding more land than
perhaps is allowed them under the
""ovisions of the Curtis Bill are
knowing the improvements from
hundreds of acres and turning
them out. 1t is well known that
there is now not enough of land in
cultivation in the Chickasaw nation
to supply the demand of tenants and
if this state of affairs exist to any
marked degree many renters will
suffer.
