OUR MORAL SEDAN?"

Newspapers at home and abroad have
spoken Of the DreyfIls trial as the NOR
al Sedan of France" and mot without
reason. No nation can with impunity
outrage the sense of justice of it's citi-
zens and of its neighbors, any more
than the individual can be guilty of Will
full moral turDitude and escape the
avenging nemesis of public opinion and
of blighted self-respect.
There is in the example of France
meaningful lesson for the United States.
The conviction of Dreyfls i'm violation
of the most sacred rights of man and
in the teeth of the law and the facts
French ideals nor was it more abhor-
rent to good public conscience than the
course we have been pursuing in the
Philippines is abhorTent to the conscience
and destructive of the ideals of the
American people.
1T is not alone the futile slaughter Of
Filipinos that we have to consider any
more than it was the crime against
Dreyfus that solely concerned France.
In each the real tragedy lies in the
disintegrating effect upon the national
character of knowing and deliberate ma
tional wrcng-doing. Tt would be diff
cult to show that our treatment of the
Fiipinos, nation, is backed by more
of justice than was Frances treatment
of Dreyfus. a single individual The
tragedy 6 France was acted in the
full glare of publicity and against
background that brought out every de-
tail; the tragedy of America is being
played in am atmosphere somewhat
more hazy, but the tragic elements are
there none the less.
No small part of the strength of this
nation has come from the conscious rec
titude of its purposes. 1t is no empty
beast that it has been lin the main q
worthy exemplar to the nations In its
public policy. Jealous of its own rights
always, it has mot been tardy in recog-
nizing the rights of others. To chang,
all this and follow a policy that a ma
jority of its citizens feel I'm their hearts is
shameful is to work hurt to the na-
ti0n in its most vital part.
america as well as France has its
dangers, and the worst enemies of each
are they who deprive each of the privi-
lege of facing Them with clean hearts anl
clean hands. Shall We. too. have our
''Morad Sedan?''

Mrs, Joe Person S
RENE
FEARFULLY BURNED.

la April, 1898, my little girl was fear
fully burned by her clothes catching
fire. Her whole face was terribly burn
ed. We had but little hopes of her ie-
covery, as it yielded to medical treatment
to the extent of being apparently cured,
but in a short time the sores would again
break out, become red and infiamed and
perfectly raw. We tried different treat
ments for three months, and then deter
mined to try Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
in August. At that time she had sores
as large as a silver dollar, and she suf-
fered terribly. She was so restless she
could get no sound sleep, and was not
able to eat solid food or grease OF any
kind. Her condition was indeed piteable.
Her mouth was burned so that it was
perfectly raw as far down the throat
as we could see. After commencing the
Remedy i'm August, she was soon got SO
she could eat solid food and anything
else she wanted, could sleep we'll at night,
and the sores soon entirely healed. She
had not taken bottle before they heal
ed, and she has been well ever since,
though badly SCARED from the burn.
II have used it myself for Indigestion,
and cannot say too much in its praise.
Ny little girl loved to take the Remedy,
and craved it. We use it as a family
medicine for our children, and it always
gives satisfaction.

GEORGIA CENTRAL WINS
JUDGE HART DECIDES THE CASE AGAINST
THE STATE.
BY Buying the Eatonton Branch the Road
Does not Defeat Competition and
Create Monopoly.

Eatonton, Ga, Sept. 1S.--1n the cnse
of the State of Georgia against the
Central Of Georgia Rilway Company
brought to prevent the latter from buy
ing the Eatonton branch, Il short road
in this State, claiming that thereby n
monopoly was created. Judge Hart
before whom it was heard. rendered n
decision today in favor OF the road.
This was case of unusual interest
because it hinged upon the Interpretation
of that clause in the State constitution
which prohibits railroad combinations.
having or intending to have the effect OF
lessening competition. Had the court de-.
cided that the purchase of the road
defeated competition it would have been
necessary to appoint a receiver. Attacks
would doubtless have followed on other
railroad properties and two-thirds OF
the railway mileage OF Georgia would
have been in litigation.
When the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
otherwise known as the Eatonton
branch, was an independent line, it COM
peted with branch of the Central at
two points Milledgeville and Shady
Date. At the latter point those receiv.
ing freight had it delivered at their store
doors free to shippers to induce them to
route their freight over the Middle Geor
gia and Atlantic. When the Central Of
Georgia bought the Middle Georgia
Railroad these favors We're cut off.
The court was of the opinion that
the purchase was not defeating competi-
ton in the sense intended by the con.
stitution and that the purchase had been
beneficial to every business, every ship
per and every person living on the line
excepting at the two points named.
The people, as Il whole, have been
benefited both as to convenience and
safety in travel, as well as in savings
of freight and passenger tariff. 1T is
susceptible of proof the decision reads,
that through reduced freight charges MS
d result Of the consolidation, the people
of Eatonton and Putnam county save an
nualIy over $4,000"
On the power of corporations in
Georgia, Judge Hart says:
Corporations should be kept within
their corporate powers. Whatever pow
ers, however. that have been lawfully
given them, may lawfully exercised by
such corporation to their fullest extent. "
The State will appeal the case to the
Supreme Court of Georgia.

PROCLAMATION TO CUBANs.
Called on TO Unite and Prove Their
Capacity for Self-Goyernment.


Capacity for Self4Governmlent
Havana, Sept 49, The Cuban Nation
al Party will issue tomorrow proclama
tion along the following lines:
Fellow Patriots: Union and con-
cord are absolutely necessary 1t is
most important TO remember tglat there
is some one watching carefully what we
do. 1t is most important to remember
that there are elemelnts among us per-
petually striking to bring to life what
ever could injure Cubaal prestige anu
weaken the arguments of those who con-
tend that the Cubans are atgle to gov
ern themselves. Never forget that it
is the aim of such enemies of our ma
tional life to prove that we ueel 4
master.
The time has arrived for action, Cor
the action OF a party willing to he
judged by results. Homer, dignity, it,-
corum and expediency demand that pas.
sion should be drowned and nil forms
of self-seeking pat aside. THE time has
arrived when every mian should occupy
the position he is best fitted for by ca
pacity or experience. The basis of our
party is to realize the purposes OF the
revolution by obtaining absolute indie
pemdence and the constitution of a re-
parhlic under democratic government
with ample decentralization with respect
to the provinces, leaving to them the
management of their own affairs, subject
to a central control.
st is above all necessary TO keep alive
the personality Of Cuba until these ends
are attained, and the best means is the
union Of Cmbans i'm an eldeayor, with
the help of the Intervening Government
to reorganize the country and to secure
the PRONUNCIATION of laws needed TO put
am end to the existing confusion and tn.
anarchy that is NOW deyour[mg Cuba.

with us at liberty ito join any political
party whose program is not hostile to

Tho Coming Carnival.

Gorgeous and spectacular beyond all
description will be the principal features
of the Festival of Mountain and Plain,
to be held in Denver September % to 30.
Even at this time public interest
throughout the state is centered upon
the great event. From all quarters
come assurances that the attendance
this year will far surpass that at any
previous festival From the moment the
sale of boxes and seats in the grand
stand opened until the present time, the
demand has been continuous. In fact,
almost all the boxes are already sold and
vast inroads have been made upon the
row seats.
| In arranging for the several features
OF this years festival, the board of direc-
tion has endeavored to cater to all
classes OF citizens alike. Two new fea-
lures have been added which can not fail
to prove OF vast interest to all who may
visit Denver, namely, the exposition and
street fair to be held all the week and
the horse show which will occupy the
last two days OF the festival. In these
events large number OF entries have
already been made. Farmers and mer-
chants throughout the state are taking
deep interest in the agricultural and
horticultural exhibits, and the owners Of
fine horses in Colorado as well as in far
eastern cities have been attracted to the
horse show by the great value OF the
premiums to be awarded. The various
other features will be OF surprising in
terest to all.
The coronation OF the queen, which oc-
ours the opening night of the festival,
will be ceremony rich in coloring and
replete with interesting features. The
military parade will surpass all previous
efforts in this direction. The band con-
tests on "Wednesday have attracted
large number OF musical organizations
throughout the state, and the indica-
tions are that the competition will be
most spirited. The great mask Carnival
and mask parade and the ball on the
evening OF Thursday will be an event
filed with amusing features. The com
mittee in charge is making every effort
to have this feature one of the dis.
tinguishirg events OF the Festival. The
mask parade in the afternoon will be
filed with novelties in the way of cos
tuning and grotesque characters. A

ADVISED THEM TO KEEP COOL.

Labor Commissioner James 7. Smith
went up to Eldora Saturday night, says
the Boulder Tribune, to adjust the diff
culties between the miners and opera
tors of the Enterprise mine. However,
as there were no troubles which could
be settled outside OF court, he merely
advised the men to keep cool and await
developments. 1t was stated Monday
morning that the claims OF the miners
aggregate $4,000, but it is expected that
they will be paid. The company has
paid s2l, 900 out Of $4,000 of the pur-
chase price OF the mine, but will lose
that amount in defaulting the balance
The owners Of the mine are keeping the
water out and it is stated will resume
work shortly.
