Resolve that you will not gossip,
tattle or lie, says the Knoxville Courier.
These three faults are the most con-
temptible OF any a person can have.
They cause trouble, discord and have
broken up families. They are besetting

The new bankruptcy laws framed by
congress and which have recently gone
into effect, while they possess many
features of undisputed merit, do not re-
dound to the benefit of the county
sheriffs, The reason for this is that a
large proportion Of the business Of the
sheriff's office resulting through insol-
vent debtors promises to be transacted
under the new bankruptcy laws through
the United States district courts. AS a
natural result the fees Of the sheriff will
be sacrificed

70 condemn the French nation for the
Dreyfus verdict
The people of the United States owe
deep debt of gratitude to France" he sail
III an interview to-day, "and we should
show moderation and sympathy at this
time instead of violence.
The people of America must not forget
that as nation independent of European
influence and dictation, we owe all pract-
cally to France.
The treatment of France by the United
States has, under the circumstances which
nave existed, been to say the least, most
ungrateful and shameful. Do our people
know that beside giving us Lafayette,
france also gave US Rochambeau, with
thousands of the best trained soldiers in
Europe; she gave us DeGrasse and Count
D'Estaing with fleets of SPLENDID war
SHIPS and she expended in her co-opera-
ton with Gen. Washington in the war for
independence S0,00000O. She loaned and
gave US outright as gifts of friendship
many millions of dollars, and she did
these things at time when not to have
done them would have meant the absence
of the republic of the United States on the
Western continent, in my opinion, for
ever
THE United States as a government and
the people individually owe to France
more than ever can be paid. Therefore
moderation just now would be the part
of friendship, rather than a wild and use
less attempt to interfere in her most sa-
cred internal affairs
France as a nation should have our
sympathy at this juncture, instead of
our hatred. 1t is country where the un-

Columbus, o.. Sept. 12.-In letter to

statement regarding the alleged secret
alliance between England and the United

"There is no alliance with England, nor
with any other power under heaven, ex-
cept those known and published to the
world, the treaties of ordinary interna-
tional friendship for purposes of business
and commerce No treaty other than
these exists; none has been suggested on
either side; none is contemplated. It has
never entered into the minds of the Presi-
dent nor Of any member Of the govern
ment to forsake under any inducement,
the wise precept and example of the
fathers which forbade entangliug alli-
ances with European powers"

words the men who are criticising the

Not Likely to Take Further Interest
in the Dreyfus Case.
Berlin, Sept. 12.-The German commits
sioner for the Paris Exposition. accompan-
led by three assistants, has gone to Paris
to complete arrangements for the German
exhibitors. This is generally interpreted
as indicating that Germany has no inten-
ton as a nation, of refraining from partic-
ipating therein.
Many of the newspapers are pointing out
that the exhibition is not connected with
politics, and they counsel moderation un-
til the action of other nations is deter
mined. Germany's action, it is said, viii
be governed largely by that of Great
Britain, the United States and Austria.
The Neuste Nachrichten says it is ex-
tremeiy improbable that Germany will
further interest herself in the Dreyfus case
by allowing documents proving the inno-
cence of Dreyfus and Esterhazy's guilt
to be published. But, the paper adds,
there are reasons to believe that should
the French government officially apply for
these papers the documents would be pro-
duced without any hesitation.

to-day, took up the Investigations of the
Ramapo Water Company which recently
came near securing a contract to supply
water to the city of New York for a term

Mr.. Moss, counsel for the committee

po contract case and he had investigated
the matter, finding that the present water
supply was ample, though the distribute
ing system was faulty and that the two
supplementary storage reservoirs which
will be finished In 1903 will hold 75, 236, 900 600
gallons or a supply Of 200,000,000 gallons a
day for 376 days

cans Of the state who were alleged 10 have
