FRANCE IS on TIE VERGE.

If La Belle France pulls through the
Dreyfus episode with the Republic in
tact, it will be very lucky.
The courtmartial of Dreyfus has be-
come such palpable farce that the
people visit the trial only to laugh and
jeer at the court
The other day Dreyfus's brilliant
lawyer openly impeached the court.
You suppress all awkward questions!"
cried M. Labori to the presiding officer,
Col. Jouaust.
In no other country in the world
could such scenes be enacted at a court
martial. In any other country a law
yer who would impeach the integrity
of the courtmartial would be instantly
and ANONYMOUSLY removed from the
case If not more severely dealt with.
SO, doubtless, he would be in France
under ordinary circumstances
But this is not an ordinary case. The
entire court at Rennes knows it is en-
gagged in infamous work and that the
people know it. The court is defend
ing itself and its superiors quite
as much as Dreyfus is defending him
self II is really the court and the
army that is On trial, rather than the
prisoner. Hence the extraordinary
meckness with which the court meets
constant sneers and accusation, for in
its trepidation it dare not meet these
extraordinary slurs and open charges
against its honor from counsel as a
court conscious of its integrity of pur-
pose instantly would
This case may have disastrous eff
feet on the attendance at the Paris
Exposition in 1900 1t is quite freely
predicted that the Exposition will suf-
fer from the political upheayals that
have been going on for many months

DENVER, Col. September 2. Com
missioner Peck, of the Paris exposition,
started this evening for Chicago after
a successful conference with the lead
ing mining men of Cripple Greek. The
object of his mission was to secure the
pledge Of million dollars worth Of
bullion for exhibition from one district
of the United States to be used in the
national display at Paris.
He positively stated that there would
be no fantastic figures OF women ac-
tresses or anything else of that order,
but that this would be the only group
display of gold from the entire country.
1t will be shipped as pyramid and be
transported from Denver to the At

The proposition met with the heart
lest support of the miners. Three mills

lion must bear the mint mark of the
government and the assurance is given
that the pyramid will be solid. The
government assumed all the risk and
guarantees the return of the gold.

that the American people are unit In
sympathizing with Dreyfus, and vis-
itors from this country particularly are
likely to receive scant courtesy in GER
tain quarters, while timid and cautious
people generally will be deferred from
visiting the effervescent French capital
for fear of becoming involved with the
familiar Partisan mob and street fights.
However, the very thing that may
keep hundreds of timid folks away may
attract thousands of others who would
like to see the gay French capital in a
state of political excitement. To more
sedate people the typical nervous and
gesticulating Frenchman under these
conditions will be quite as interesting
an object as anything in the EXPOSE
ton.
