THE SITUATION IS GRAVE.
Conflict at Paris Between the Civil
and Military Authorities
Is Becoming Acute.
ACTION OF THE MILITARY GOVERNOR.
Is Sudden and Unexpected-1s a De-
fender of the Army and Resolute
Opponent of n Revision of Dreyfus
Case-Only a Step Now to Dicta-
tOrship.

Paris, Sept. 22.-The situation here
is generally admitted to be grave by
both press and people. The conflict
between the civil and military author
tiles is becoming acute. The sudden
and unexpected action of Gen. Eur
linden, the military governor of Paris,
in prosecuting Col. Picquart on the
charge of forgery and using forged
documents assumes a grave aspect on
account of the circumstances attend
ing this intervention of the military
authorities in civil court. At the
present moment, when the POLITICAL at
mosphere is surcharged with danger
GUS electricity, generated by the Drey-
fus affair, the general, who has Just
quilted the cabinet, in defiance of civil
authority takes, without consulting
his successor or the premier, an i'm
portant step. In ordinary circum-
stances the military governor is en-
powered to act Independently; but
now that the Dreyfus question has be-
come great national matter, every
proceeding in the affair has state Inn
portance. Gen. Zurlinden's ignoring
of this obvious fact is very significant.
He comes forward as the defender of
the army, the prosecutor of its sup
posed calumniators and the resolute
opponent of revision of the case
From this to an appeal to the public
In the line of the ablishment of a
dictatorship is no wide step.
The Soieil says that, owing to
Wednesdays events, the cabinet at
an informal conference discussed Gen.
Zurlinden's action, and the Fronde
even asserts that the premier, NJ.
Brisson, disavows the measures taken
against Picquart, which he says were
instituted without the knowledge of
the cabinet.
The Radical makes a bitter attack
on the general staff, which it charges
with aiming at the moral ASSASSINATION
of Picquart through secret military
trial.
Henri Rochefort, in his paper, the
Intransigeant, declares that Picquart
was bribed by a syndicate or by Ger
many to save Dreyfus.
Jares, the socialist deputy in the Pc
tite Republique, maintains that the
general staff of the French army can
not now escape the full light of re-
vision of the Dreyfus case.

The REVIEWS great contests ended
on Thursday afternoon at the fair
grounds. From one O'Clock until the
votes were all counted the floral hall
was crowded with eager and intensely
interested people. Until 2:45 the votes
were counted as cast and the footings
placed upon the blackboard. Frequent
changes took place in the standing of
the candidates and each change elected
marked enthusiasm from the friends of
the candidates. When the balloting
opened at the fair grounds Miss Poster
had slight lead in the town contest
and Miss Benson was about thousand
votes ahead of all the out of town con-
testants. Very soon Miss Kelly began
to draw ahead and was in first place for
q short time. Then the vote for Miss
Poster began to come in in great
punches and she lead the others by
several hundred.
About o'clock the Charter Oak dele
CATION arrived. 1t consisted of William
Mains, who had been deputized to cast
the votes of the Charter Oak people.
1t seems that the people OF Charter
Oak had been at work for nearly t wo
weeks, gathering up coupons, getting
new subscribers all over the west end
of the county and doing very little
talking. On Tuesday their candidate
had eight hundred votes, by Thursday
noon she was past the thousand mark
and about an hour after the polls open
ed Mr. Mains deposited over one thous-
and votes on behalf of the people of
Charter Oak Later, during the closed
balloting, about five hundred more
votes were cast for Miss Jones and she
won by twenty plurality.
Miss Benson's many friends worked
like Trojans in her behalf. Up to
Thursday afternoon it looked as if she
was sure winner and her friends
were very confident up to the last
mon ent. One of the interesting in
cidents of her campaign was that her
brother started down from Kiron with
q large number of belated votes, on the
way his bicycle broke and he was de-
layed in getting team so that he did
not arrive at the voting place until
about o'clock when the votes had all
been counted.
In fact, almost every candidate is
now able to find enough votes which
were not cast to have turned the tide.
The contest was conducted strictly ac-
cording to the rules as at first laid
down, and polls were closed at the time
previously advertised. During the
silent voting Miss Kelly received over
fourteen hundred votes and Miss Nc
Guire received eleven hundred.
Miss Mcclure was thought to be out
Of the contest but her friends had held
their votes in reserve and she was
awarded the second prize.
The final count of the votes was
made by Mr.. Emil Kruger and Mr.
John Ainsworth and it is needless tc
say that it was done with the utmost
fairness to all.
Miss Minnie Kelly the successful can
didate in the city contest. is one Of
Denison's brightest and best young
ladies. She is energetic, studious and
ambitious and the REVIEW has every
confidence that she will make the best
possible use of the scholarship awarded
her by the readers of this paper.

the next highest number of votes, is til.

TO PENSION CONFEDERATES.

Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina,
has introduced bill in the senate to pension
the Confederate soldiers. This act of Senator
Buffers has called down the wrath of flannel
mouthed Republicans, yet, it is only in keeping
with the speech and actions of President Me-
Kiney when he was in the South bidding for
the support of Southern Democrats. Of course,
Mckinley did not mean what he said in his
speech down there-he was only fishing for
suckers-but he cannot consistently kick
against Senator Buffers bill.
We noticed in the dailies that Corporal Tan
ner is in favor of Confederate pensions.
Senator Buffers bill provides as follows
"That from and after the passage of this bill
every pension law now OH the statute books
shall apply to every invalid soldier, widow,
minor child, dependent relative, the army
muses. and all other persons who may be able to
prove their claims under the present pension
laws without regard to whether said soldier was
enlisted in the Federal or Confederate service of
the civil war of IS6I-5; provided that those ell
listed in the Confederate service shall not draw
any back pensions prior to the passage of this
bill, but their claim under existing laws shall
begin and become operative with the passage of
this BILL"

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come and gone. We were
treated, in current literature, to rehash Of the
Of the old story of 'You shall be good to your
fellow men one day in one whole year." We
have heard the same old sermon, and INDUCED
in the same old follies, and if popular teaching
was the only guide, Christ's coming has little
meaning for the multitude. We are not theo-
logians and are glad of it, because, not being
theologians, we can interpret Christ from the
standpoint of the layman.
The common people heard Jesus gladly, be-
cause He was common man, and taught the
broadcast and deepest humanity. The good
Samaritan was good Samaritan on every day
in the year. and because he held all men to be
his ncighbor. So Jesus taught. Jesus also
taught that they who were received into the
mansions of the Father were those who sought
out the hungry to feed, clothed the naked, adj
ministered to the sick, visited the prisoners
not one day in year, but every day.
Love thy neighbor as thyselt is the chief cor
ner-stone of practical Christianity We love
not Our neighbor.
Had the world practiscd Christianity since
the ADVENT VI SHIlSl, PSOPlC INV Woulu nol
need to die in order to 60 to Paradise. We
have the material for Paradise here on earth.
Our Children might have been born in Paradise.
No nation has ever practised Christianity, and
not half the individuals who profess it. So
called Christian nations have teen as blood
thirsty as the barbarous tribes OF darkest At
RIGA, and have trodden the masses in the dust
with the ferocity of a Nero.
Jesus had profound sympathy for the masses
and an adherence of blood The governing
powers, either in Church or state, have, and al
ways had profound sympathy for the man
with gold. There have been CLEANS of sun
shine, and there is hope of better day, but
the real Christ's day has not come; but it would
had it not been for wicked men; but Oh! tine
agony of those who labor and wait; of those
who toll and suffer- and Oh! the blindness of
those who might see, and will not; of those
who profess Christ, and who do not know Him.

JOHN COLLINS GUILTY..

The jury in the celebrated Collins murder
case returned verdict of "Guilty of murder
in the first degree" The verdict did not affect
Collins in the least degree. He was cool and
unmoved, and nonchalleutly re.lighted half
burnt cigar and proceeded to smoke.
Collins attorneys will endeavor to secure
new trial, and, if that is Denied will take the
case to the highest court.
The attorneys for the state have arrested the
woman who testified that she saw negro on
the roof of the Collins house at haf-past five
in the morning, and she will be prosecuted for
perjury. 1t is not unlikely that A. A. GODDARD,
the newly elected attorney general, will find
himself in a very unenviable position before the
end is reached GODDARD is Collins chief at
torney, and it is not likely that the woman who
perjured herself did SO Of her own will, or with
out some substantial inducement. To our
mind it looks mighty bad for GODDARD
The Collins case cost $4,000, including the
preliminary examination. According to the
Topeka State Journal, it would have cost $1o,-
900 before the enactment of the Populst fee
and salary law. Thus the Populists saved the
state IS, 900 ia one case.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
g Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause Of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease, The fact is,
Rheuma tism is disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires u real
blood remedy-something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
Aammatory Rheumatism, which, though
mild ut first, became gradually so in
tense that was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March suffered agony. tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.

the money to carry on the business unless the

government furnish money to the merchants,

merchant marine company any better than an
ordinary business man or farmer? If not, why
