The determination OF tho French court

shows that 1t Is still possible TO reach the
high authorities in France with an appeal
for justice. in spite OF the corrupt politics
OF the day and the reign of selfish intrigue
II can hardly be doubted that when the
cnse Is thoroughly examined by the court,
answering somewhat to the supreme courts
in this country. the decision Of the military
tribunals will be reversed md the penalty
suspended. Possibly for the good order OF
Paris. and as matter of high policy gem
orally. Dreyfus will be cxiled from France,
but the prisoner would be vindicated by his
release from the terrible fate which he
Is now bearing In heroic manner.
1t will be a great triumph for right and

OF the odium under which she hos rested
since the cruel sentence WIS imposed upon
Dreyfra by courtmartial that operated
