qualification by well-posted Paris corre-
spondents that the governments program
is to follow the unfavorable verdict of the
court of cessation with a decree pardoning
Dreyfus and ordering his release from Gus
tody. This course it is noted, will calm the
anger of the Dreyfusards while avoiding
the humiliation of the army. But 1t will
not be a declaration of the innocence Of
Dreyfus. 1t may be questioned whether the
Dreyfusards will let the case go at that.
with the captain among them once more,
evidently pilloried either in blunder or in
spite and then refused entire justice for
considerations of policy, they may continue
their agitation more bitterly than even.
The affair has thus far engendered more an
imositfes than any other similar public event
of half century. 1t has created new party
lines and uprooted old alliances. 1t is with
in the power of the revisionists to force
new issues If they care to continue their
agitation even in the event of pardon
The outcome of the matter will be awaited
with the keener interest because of the ap-
proach of the great exposition, which may
indeed be the actuating cause of this dis
position on the part of the government to
placate the Dreyfusarts without antagonfz-
ing the friends of the army. With an eye
always keen to the main chance. the French
are likely to make extra effort to smooth
out their wrinkles in time for the big party,
to which the nations are invited to bring
their dollars.

The Flag is StiI There.

This latest news from Manila, sad as 1t
is. will yet give the American admirers of
Aguinaldo great comfort. II will arm them
afresh against the administration. 1t will
convince them, and with it they will at
tempt to convince the country, that our
task in the Philippines is not only a crime
against humanity. but hopeless. The
Washington of that archipelago can never
be conquered. and the part of wisdom de-
mands that We pull up stakes and leave
forthwith.
Nevertheless, this will not be the Ameri-
can view. and it will not prevail The real
effort will probably be the opposite of that.
The spirit of the country will rise with the
better appreciation of the magnitude of the
understanding and the difficulties it pre-
sents. There has at no time been warrant
for any feeling that We should be free
throughout from disasters. The Ffiipinos
are numerous They are familiar with their
jungles Their experience with Spain has
made them distrustful of all white men,
and revengeful when aroused. Their own
leaders, and their aiders and abettors in the
United States. have assured them that
their cause is just and that the invaders"
are engaged in unhoIy work This is to be
remembered.
At the same time such talk as General
go is foolish and unwise- The necessity for
killing half of the population of the archi-
pelago in order TO establish American au-
thority will never arise. The program of
this government comprehends no such state
Of case. Ignorant, suspicious and unman-
ageable as many of the people of the is
lands now are, they are not beyond the in
huences of just treatment; and when they
discover the difference between American
and Spanish authOrity-which is marked
enough to be appreciated even by a saw
ase-they are not likely to protract their
warfare
But while there is an armed force in the
field against it, the duty of this government
will be plain. II is an easy matter for poll
ticians to talk at dinner tables and else
where about abandoning the Philippines
and all that, but the fact remains that the
American official who would lower the flag
under such circumstances as exist in those
islands would deserve and receive the exc
Grafton of his countrymen and the con-
tempt of all the rest of mankind

Dreyfus May Be Pardonea-

france is now being prepared for a COM
promise on the Dreyfus case. 1t remains
TO be seen whether this device will onerate
to quiet the storm of excitement. The court
OF cassation is about TO announce its decis-
ION IL Is believed In some quarters that a
majority OF tea Is certain against the pris-
oner-that Is 70 say. against a revision of
the case Such a Judgment would not he
AT al certain TO quiet the activity of the
Dreyflsards. but might. on the contrary
excite them to stilI further efforts. for one
or the most certain facts in the complex
situation today is that these people are
very much in earnest and are determined to
procure the exoneration of the prisoner.
The government realizes the danger to
France from the great strain of continued
agitation about a case which affects the
prestige OF the army and which occasional
iy causes the dissolution of ministries.

the matter closed Premier Dupuy recently

MIR. Bryan to WOrkfngmen

Mr.. Bryan will sit at table with wage
earners in New York tonight, and in his
speech Will probably address himself to
those subjects in which the workingmen
are most interested. What will he say?
How will he present the situation to them
SO as to win their approval and support?
In 1896 he had the attention of many
Workingmen because the times were hard
and thousands We're unemployed. He ad-
Vertised cure-all and made himself a
great attraction on the stump. But even
then, with the ranks of the discontented
recruited to the full, he failed to carry the
workingmen with him. They heard him,
but withstood his appeals They defeated
him; for had the manufacturing states
given him the support he received in the
agricultural states his success would have
been pronounced.
Labor now is widely employed, and wages
never were better. The mills have been
opened, and the majority of them are run
ming full time. The men who will listen to
Mr.. Bryan tonight are, as a rule, not only
getting along well, but are earning more
than men similarly employed in any other
country in the world. Why, therefore, hav-
ing withstood him in 1896. when they were
out of pocket and down at the heel, should
they yield to him now, when times are
flush and they are sharing in the good
things going?
OF all the men in America the working
men should be farthest from accepting Mr..
Bryan and his policies. He stands for free
trade as against protection, and protection
in part explains our manufacturing prog
ress and our good wages. And as for cheap
money, all history teaches that whenever
the money of any people has been debased,
the poor and those with only small means
have suffered the most severely.
How then will this cheap money and free
trade champion be able to capture the
hearts of those who would be the first to
suffer in case his policies should be written
into laws?

An ExpausiOuist in Benefactfons.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie continues to give
practical evidence of enlightened benef-
cence. He has increased his donation for
the Washington public library building by
tW enty per cent. With the construction
fund increased to $500, 900 the commission
in charge of the work will be enabled with
the greater certainty to place on Mount
Vernon Square such a library building as
the site demands. 1t will be permitted like
WISE to consider architectural as we'll as
practical elements in the choice of de-
sign. The first desire, of course, is for a
building ideal in its interior ARRANGEMENTS
which will afford a maximum of conyen-
fcnce and benefit to the library users Of
next and almost equal Importance is the
requirement that the building be perma-
rent ornament to the city, a type of the
new ideals for public construction, a monu-
nent to the munificence of the donor an
addition to the public space which 1t oc-
cupies rather than an encunbrance. All
these considerations can be more surely
met with the increased allowance. Mr..
Carnegie is true in this instance TO his
record in the distribution Of his surplus
wealth on public objects. In several pre-
vious donations he has increased the orig
inal subscriptions. This was notably true
In the case Of the Pittsburg library and
museum, and even within few hours
word has come that Mr.. Carnegie has just
added sl,750.@@ TO the endowment of the
carnegie Institute at Sche1ley Park, near
Pittsburg. This is the very essence of
wise hberaiity The chief purpose of the
donor appears to be TO make effective fer
the purpose of the location that which he
gives. without regard to the precise amount
inv H,
ing to the national capital a library build
ing commensurate in size, appearance, ar
rangement and equipment with the cfty's
rank. Thus far every stage of the enter
prise points to it's entire success. 1t is
supernuous to say that the people of Wash
ington deeply appreciate the generosity of
the donor
