PARIS EXPOSITION.

Notwithstanding the hot indignation Of
most peoples against the treatment to
which Captain Dreyfus has been subject
td. 1t is not probable that any govern
ment will recede from its agreement to
lake part in the Paris Exposition. which,
by the way. is TO be an international az
sair.
The United States. for instance, have
made all the appropriations necessary 10
DC represented there, and our exhibit will
De packed up and on its way to France
before Congress meets. Besides. If Con-
gress had the opportunity 10 do so, it is
doubtful If It would undertake to sit in
Judgment upon the French method Of I'd
minstering justice-Or ''injustice"-We
would better say. Still less would any
Europea~ Power be inclined to affrdnt
France by Withdrawing from the eXpoli-
hon on account of the Dreyfus trial.
But what governments cannot, or Will
not. do. individual citizens may, in 80 far
as it lies in their power. What is more
we may be sure that tens Of thousands
d men and women who otherwise would
contribute 10 the success of the eXposi-
ZION by sending exhibits, or by attending
In person. will now do all they can to
tondemn it.
The Paris press seems awakening 10
lhe fact that sle French-or. at least. the
generals of the French army-are at this
lime execrated by most civilized people.
lrhe result of this awakening may be that
n powerful pressure will be put upon the
President Of the republic, either to anhui
She proceedings of the court and there
aet the matter drop, or TO grant Dreylus
a full pardon. Already the court-martial
has said that there are "extenuating cir
rumstances," and has recommended that
the prisoner be not subjected 10 fresh
degradation. and it would be going only
n step farther to set him at liberty
While the disgrace of the thing couio
not be wiped out by either course,
would be something to Dreyfus and MS
family 60 have his present fate deter
mined without further ado. Public agita-
non would then abate. but would not
cease Nothing is ever decided TIL II Is
aecided right" and there can be no era
sure of this stain upon France until she
has the courage to aequit the innocent
and punish those who really are guilty
Another view Of the French Exposition
which may be adopted by merchants ana
manufacturers, is that the Dreyfus trou-
BILE has left the French army and the peo-
ple suspicious of one another, and there's
mo- telling when riot and revolution may
show their bloody hands in Paris. Then,
whetzsfsre natural than that anti-Semi-
SIC mobs should attack the exposition
halls and vent their spite against Jewish
exhibitors and visitors?
Things quite as bad as that have &C.
Turred IN Paris. The men and women
who burned the Louvre, pulled down the
column yendome, and deliberately butch
.red bishops. have doubtless left descend
,nts quite as reckless and cruel as they
~ere.
Our conclusion is that while the various
governments which have agreed TO par
.icipate in the exposition Of 1860 Will not
draw back; thousands Of individual citi-
Gems will do all they can TO blast the en-
terprise. unless the wrong done Dreyfus
DC soon righted.

The Atlanta Constitution thinks that
Markham merely played with words"
when he wrote 1.-THE Man With the Hoe"
or, TO express 1t more plainly, that his
theme, however well handled, is much
ado about nothing. Our contemporary
suggests that the poet was ''in too Sc
rious a mood when he penned the Mil
tonic lines" and believes that the man
without the hoe-that Is, without work
Of any kinds really the fellow to be
pitied.
Bob Burdette, the humorist, is now
getting ready to lecture on THE Woman
With the Broom" and as he but recently
married a wealthy widow. it may be that
bis discourse will be far more useful.
from a practical standpoint, than Mark
hams poem.
For our part, however we do not regard
the hoe as a plaything. and on the few
occasions we have handled II, the imple-
ment impressed us as being a fruitful
source of backaches. There's a good
deal In the way you handle it. though,
and Markham's man has been depicted
as merely leaning upon it. Notwithstand-
ing this pose, he is. nevertheless, 1.-The
Man With the Hoe" and what Is better
still. he utilizes the implement in a way
trat we should certainly adopt unless
very hard pressed.

.,anu,ary IN the performance Of their

| stabulary I'm the performance OF 'heii
| duty.
We presume that the state authorities
| are doing all they can TO form a suitable
| number OF good military companies ana
| the taxpayers will not complain OF the
| little expense incurred. We think IL
would be good policy 10 have the VIZ
| ginia service In shape by the time the
| Legislature meets. so that that may COM
| mend them 10 the favor Of members.
In times past some OF the legislators
have been rather avcrse 10 spending
money upon the soldiers. Some nave
said that the companies are formed for
"parading" and "frohcking," and should
pay all Of their expenses
or course. the social features or our
military organizations are attractive 10
manytyoung men. but that alone would
not keep the organizations up. Not Few
NJ ,be officers and men enter the militia
service as n public duty, The appropila-
ton the state makes is very small Inc
towns and cities furnish the armories
and. excepting what is drawn from the
United States Government, the uniforms
are paid for out OF the company funds
or by the men individually And a uni
form like that worn by the Richmond
Blues costs pretty penny.
In the forthcoming annual report OF the
Acknowledgement the condition of our
volunteer militia will be fully set forth,
and we presume that suitable recon-
mcndations will be made to the Governor
and Legislature. Our present object only
Is TO draw the attention of the public TO
the undoubted fact that a we'll organized
volunteer force is needed in this state
and to say that all efforts in that direc-
ton ought 10 be encouraged by the peo-
pie and the Legislature. We do not go
into details OF how that object may be
accomplished best; In that matter the
views Of the military department of our
State Government should have great
weight.
So far as the Blues are concerned they
have always been ready for service when
needed, in war or peace. and we shouiu
take pride in preserving that organiza-
ton. Moreover the Blues are the pride
OF tne people III all pdidue hhci' NV
appear. While the present occasion leads !
us TO speak particularly Of them at this
time, we do not wish to be understood as |
favoring them TO the exclusion of other |
equally worthy commands. Oh, no! We |
wish to see old Virginia do It's best for |
all the companies OF this city and state. |
our volunteers are pleasant sights to
see when parading the streets In gay |
attire, but there has been more serious |
use for them in the past apart from |
the demands Of war;. and there is likely |
10 be more use for them in the future. |
Hence we say let the good work of re- !
organization so on, and let it have the |
and support of the Virginia |
people.

The Gypsy Trail.
(By Rudyard KlplingO

(By Rudyard Klpling)
The white moth to the closing vine
And the bee to the open clover,
And the Gypsy blood to the Gypsy blood,
Ever the wild world over.
Ever the wild world over, lass,
Ever the trail held true
over the world and under the world,
And back at the last to you.
Out Of the dark of the Gorgo camp,
out of the CRIME and the gray.
O1orning waits at the end OF the WORLD
Gypsy, come away!
The wild boar to the sun-dried swamp,
And the red crane to the reed
And the Romany lass 10 the Romauy lad
BY the tie OF rowing breed.
Morning waits at the end Of the world,
Where the winds unhaltered play,
Nipping the TANKS of their plunging ranks
Till the wild sea horses neigh.
The pied snake 10 the rifted rock,
The buck TO the stony plain,
And the Romany lass 10 the Romany lad,
And both the road again.
Both to the road again. again.
out on the clean sea track,
Follow the cross of the Gypsy trail
over the world and back.
Follow the Romany pattern
North, where the blue bergs sail,
And the bows are gray with the frozen
spray.
And the masts are shod with mail
Follow the Romany pattern
Sheer 10 the Austral light.
Where the bosom of God is the wild West
wind.
Sweeping the sea floors white.
Follow the Romany pattern
West, 10 the sinking sun,
Till the junk sails lift through the noise
less drift.
And the East and West are one.
Follow the Romany pattern
East where the silence broods
BY purple wave on an open beach
In the hush OF the Mahim woods.
The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky,
The deer 10 the wholesale void,
And the heart of n man TO the heart cf a
maid,
AS II was in the days Of old.
The heart of a man 10 the heart OF a
maid
Light OF my tents. be fleet:
Morning waits at the end OF the world,
And the world is all at our feet.

FORAKEV's KICK.

The Cincinnati Enquirer states that the
Rev Herbert 8. Bigelow. Of that city,
has made public the substance OF let
ter which he has received from Senator
Foraker. showing that that gentleman
has kicked out OF the imperIalistic traces.
IL Is said the letter contains an intima-
ton that Mr. Foraker will lead the oppo-
sition on this question at the next session
OF the United States Senate.
For long time Mr.. Foraker has been
indisposed to follow the lead Of Messrs.
Mckinley and Hanna. but we are SUR
prlsed that he should come out In an
tagonism to them so boldly at this time.
For that reason we are somewhat IN
clIned TO question the authenticity of the
information which the Enquirer publish
es. Yet there can hardly be a doubt that
Mr.. Foraker's position Is in opposition
TO the imperialistic tendencies Of the adj
ministration. The wonder Is that he
should be willing to become a frebrand
in the Ohio canvass.
II It be true that he IL willing to lead
in this movement the consequences may
be important to the Republican rarty. II
would make confusion and schism IN
Ohio. and might ensure the loss CT That
State to the Republicans. Again. 1t would
compel the administration to take notice
OF the fact that forcible annexation Is
not the popular thing IT has supposed IL
10 be.
Mr. Foraker, when we last heard OF
him. was in Washington, and we cannot
doubt that the newspaper correspond ants
of that city will give him an opportunity
TO deny or affirm the statements in ques-
ton

Newport society has been enjoying an
uproariOus pow-wOw over Prince Can
tacuzene. the blond young nobleman
who is soon to marry Miss Julia Dent
Grant. The ovations accorded" him
have become a sort Of continuous per-
Torrance affair, and the royal heels of
the prospective bridegroom have been
whirled in the maZes of the dance until
his head fairly swims. Indeed, the Prince
has been billed for so many entertain
ments that those who have him In tow
have been compelled to announce that
during the rest of his stay at Newport
he can accept no more hospitality.
The Prince is said TO be a dashing "au-
tomobiist," though just what he dashes
when he manages the horseless carriage
is more than we can say. We almost
imagined him young Lochinvar when
we reah of his picking up Mrs. Potter
Palmer and 'giving her a lively spin
home to Beaulieu," but upon second
thought. we are puzzled TO know just
how he did spin this respected dame TO
her domicile. We trust he used the au-
tomobiIe for the purpose and did nothing
more violent.
Why do our circuses show their beard
ed ladies and living skeletons. when one
good. real, live prince. exhibited by them,
would attract so many thousands?
