THE DREYFUS VERDICT.

As foreshadowed in yesterday $ dispatches, Dreyfus has been found guilty of treason by the military courtmartial convened for a retrial of his remarkable case.
 This has been the most notable military trial in France for a hundred years, perhaps; for Drey- fus the representative of great and persecuted race, the army of France, and France itself, as a re- public have all been on trial before the eyes of the civilized world.
 It has been we'll known all along since the court convened that the courtmartial was organized to pro- tect the honor of the French army and organized by anti-Semitic and Iesuistic influences. with junior army officers as the court, who would have proved heroes to have braved and confronted that civil influence and the domination of ranking officers in any event.
 The ruling out of the testimony favorable to the prisoner has been apparent from the beginning of the trial. The admission of arguments by superior army officers in the submission of their personal testi- mony has been anon & ous to Americans The array of seven generals with privileges as prose- cutting attorneys to prowbeat.

 Nevertheless, it may now be considered fact that poor Drey- fus, after five years of hell on Devil Island, as horrible as pie tured by Dante, was condemned before the trial was begun and 1t would have made no difference what the testimony, or what the opinions of the civilized world, he would have been found guilty by the suborned and prejudiced court

A TALL STORY.

Kansas City Journal
 Speaking of the big corn crop in Kansas this year, here is d story from Marshall county: A farmer wanted to get couple of ears of new corn. He went out into the field to pick them. The stalks were so call that the ears were be- yond his reach. He boosted his boy up to get the ears. The boy did not come down that day, nor the next, nor the next week. The old farmer died. When he got up to heaven he asked if his boy was there. He was told that a boy answering the description had just passed through the day before on a cornstalk.

WHICH SHALL IT BE?

When the American people full lv realize the significance of the fact that their own country IS safe under the military protec- ton of but one regiment and two battallions of infantry, while an armyiof 100000 men and the expenditure of millions of dollars are found necessary to the mere inauguration of a colonial system in the Eastern Hemisphere, the question of for eignexpansion will have reached the proper basis for intelligent figuring.
 Under this realization thought ful Americans will begin to doubt the wisdom of a policy which would settle npon q government already supreme i'll one Hemis- phere. and able to maintain it's supremacy with but a skeleton military system, a burden of colonial conquest calling for the creation of an army far larger than was ever necessary to legitimate American expansion on this Continent They will not be able to recognize in the Phil ippines, nor any other territory possible i'll the Old World, either the inducement or the righteous cause warranting such sacrifice.
 Imperialists demanding a sur render of American principles and a repudiation of the Mon- roe Doctrine for the sake of for eign conquest are leaving out of their reckoning that sound American loyalty to the teachings of the founders of the Union, and that sound American common sense through the eXer- else of which the Union has so greatly prospered, in counting upon American aequiescence i'll their unamerican policy.

Some fool negro preacher in Jonesboro wrote to friend in Little Rock detailing an account of a negro being struck by light ming in this city some weeks ago. He deploses the incident as an evidence of Gods displeasure, and among other things says They have been known to take part in sinful amusements, such as theatres, shows, operas, cake walks, games, picnics and balls, 1 feel that the master has only told the people here to return to the Lord. Pray for Us. Now, it is very deplorable that the negroes of Jonesboro have so far strayed from the paths of righteousness. The minor offenses of house. break ing, stealing, lying, gaming, wife beating and the other forms of vice hitherto charged against them grow insignificant when compared to such heinousness as ball-playing, theatre-going, picniclng, cake walks and the like.
