DREYFUS GUILTY.
Justice Outraged at the Mock Trial
at Rennes, France.

At Rennes. France, on Satur-
day afternoon last, the judges Of
the court martial rendered their
verdict, again convicting Captain
Dreyfus of treason in betraying
French military secrets to q foreign
government. The vote was 5 to 2.
Dreyfus was then sentenced to
ten years confinement in mill
tary fortress. He has already
served five years. He will also
suffer degradation. The prison.
er's counsel will appeal his case.
The court admitted that there
were extenuating circumstances,
and owing to this fact ordered
that the sentence should be served
in France.
Maitre Labor, on hearing the de-
cision, turned pale and clinched
his fists. Maitre Demange seemed
to break down suddenly and looked
five years older.
Colonel Jouaust added nothing
to the reading of the bare decree
that Dreyfus was guilty and that
the punishment was to be ten
years confinement in military
fortress, with degradation from the
army, except to say: II request
the spectators to leave the court
room without any demonstration"
The order was oheved to the letter.
The text of the decision of the
court, after reciting the prelimi-
naries usual in such cases, de-
clares, upon the question whether
Dreyfus gave foreign power, or
it's agents, documents in piece
called the bordereau, by majority
Of 5 to 2. Yes, he is guilty"
The majority favored the idea
of extenuating circumstances, and
the court condemned the defen-
dant to ten years detention in
fortified place, under article AZ of
the military penal code.
The decision then instructs the
government officer to read the de-
cree to the prisoner before the
guard, and to inform him that the
law allows twenty-four hours in
which an appeal can be made.
Maitre Demange will start for
Paris Immediately to file an appeal
for revision. This will undoubt-
edly be rejected. The ceremony
of degradation will take place at
Rennes on or before Sept. Is.
NJ. Hid, Maitre Labori's assis-
tant, went into the anteroom where
Dreyfus was awaiting his fate a
few minutes before the notification
cermony.

BACK FROM FRISCO,
Senator Hansbrough Brings Good
Reports From the Soldiers.

Senator H. G. Hansbrough re-
turned from San Francisco yester-
day morning on delayed Ne. 4.
He thinks the boys will be mus
tered out about the 25th. and will
at once leave on special train
over the Southern Pacific for
Seattle, at which place the regi-
ment will be divided and brought
home over the road most conven-
lent to their home towns. Our
soldiers are being royalty enter
tanned in San Francisco. Restau-
rants and cigar stores will not take
their money for merchandise.
Nearly everything in the city is
free to the North Dakota soldiers.
General Shafter made great pre-
parations for the proper reception
of the regiment, and has treated
the soldiers with marked courtesy
since their arrival. The govern
ment is paying the boys about $50
each for clothing allowance, which
is much more than they expected.
With this money the boys purchase
Of the local merchants whatever
clothing they need. They are all
anxious to get home. tits believed
they will arrive here about the 1st

good behavior, and their splendid

Our great cities are not now ex-
actly poor in statues, but the ex-
ceedingly accidental character of
these memorials, due to the fact
that they are mainly the result of
private subscription, is evidenced
by a glance at the public out of door
statues and other memorials in New
York city. TO American literary
men, distinctly as literary men, not
one statue has been raised in that
city, but there are statues of Shakes
peare, Walter Scott and Robert
Burns. One bust of an American
author = Washington Irving - is
found, and there are also busts of
Cervantes, Schiller and Thomas
Moore. 1t would be hard to object
to these memorials of old world au-
thors, provided they are works of
art, but one would like to see them
accompanied by at least as many

New Style Collector.

II you meet young, beautiful
and stylish woman carrying a
music roll, beware. There are
nine chances out af ten that she
is a bill collector. That is the
latest device of lawyers who are
intrusted with the collection of
bad bills. The woman server of
court summons is old. The styl-
ish young woman with the music
roll as a bill collector is strictly
new. Her employer insists that
she must be beautiful, that she
must be young, that she must be
stylish, and that she must carry
a music roll. The music roll is

serves also as salye for the SEN

UEWARRAETED CRITICISM OF
THE BENCH.

When a seeming injustice OF
wrong arouses popular feeling tht
natural tendency is to visit indig
nation upon what is most nearly
connected with the act This ii
especially true in this country
with the DEGREES Of our court. The
position Of judge in this territory
is a very delicate one. 1t is very
difficult if not impossible TO DO
exact justice anywhere, and here
less than anywhere else. There is
probably no place in the United
States where the Judgment of the
courts are so far reaching in their
effect. Any day the subject of de-
elsion may be a matter of vital
Importance to many OF ns. We
are often arrayed against one an
other in our interests and opinions
and yet the judge must take one
side or the other. Often it is his
duty to give effect to crude or in
sufficient legislation, or enactments
which in no way satisfy the gen.
eral sense Of the fitness Of things.
Yet the obloquy for all this falls
upon the judge, and the bar is
largely responsible for it, for they
are often the first to criticise.
There is no professional class Of
judges in this country. Men pass
readily from the bar to the bench
and hence judges should be able
to look for defense from the un.
just accusation and misconstruc.
tion of unprofessional criticism.

Calvary Episcopal church, at
Fourth avenue and Twenty-frst
street, is well known among the
poor of New York for its charit-
able and philanthropic work. 1t
now proposes to open shop, un-
der the parish care, in which will
be kept good line Of such dry
goods as are in constant demand
among the poor.
This is not a new experiment
for the rector of Calvary, Rev.
DIR. j. Lewis Parks. He had al
ready given this scheme a fair
trial in his former parish of ST
Ieter's in philadelphia. DIR.
Parks told me the original fund
with which this shop was started
was furnished from the rector's
fund. This has been returned,
and the shop has been for some
years yielding a small interest
upon the investment.
1t is proposed to keep a fair
stock of dry goods which are in
common use. such as ginghams,
plaids, fiannels and cotton goods.
Sales will be made on the INSTALL
ment plan, and no person bring
ing credentials will be refused
credit for such GOO s as he really
needs. A reasonable price will
be charged in order to make the
work self-supporting. but it is
the purpose to keep the price far
below that charged in the ordi-
nary dry goods stores doing busi-
ness on the installment plan.
This shop is really the out
growth of custom which has
been in vogue in Cavalry parish
tor some time. 1t has been the
practice to permit its parishion-
RS to purchase at cost price GER
-ain articles from its stock of

Our Duty In the philippines.

The report of the Philippine commits
sion is a death blow to all the assumptions
which have been the stock in trade of the
anti-imperialists. Their contention has
been based on the three assumed facts, ~
that we are waging a war of subjugation
against a libertyloving people ready for
self-government, who began their war for
independence under Spanish rule, before
ever the United States appeared on the
scene; (2) that after Dewey destroyed the
Spanish fleet in Manila bay he ought to
have sailed away and left the people of the
islands to the peace and quietness of their
own rule (3) that in May, 1898, Admiral
Dewey entered into a solemn agreement
with Aguinaldo to give the Fllipinos their
independence in return for their help
against the Spaniards, and that this agree
ment we have basely and criminally repu-
dated for our selfish and wicked ends.
The report of the commission is explicit
in proving the falsity of every one of these
contentious. There is no need to repeat
here the proof in detail. IL is shown con-
clusively in the summary of the report
printed elsewhere in this paper. Not
only were the Filipinos not fighting
for independence in their rebellion against
Spanish rule, but anything like competent
self government would have been and is
now an impossbilty amongst such con-
glomeration of native tribes, the bulk of
the people densely ignorant, and speaking
in tongues so dissimilar that the people OF
one tribe often cannot understand the
| language of another. The worst of the
report for the obstructionists is that Ad-
miral Dewey takes care to say that he en-
dorses every word of 1t in the broadest and
strongest way, and that he adds personal
memorandum in which he declares that
mo alliance of any kind was entered into
with Aguinaldo, nor was any promise OF
independence made to him then ION his
arrival at Manila from Hong Kong] or al
any other time"
The report of the commission sustain:
and confirms the conclusion long since
reached by open-minded and patriotic
Americans that the task which the United
States has on its hands in the Philippines
is difficult and in many respects an unwel
come one; that it is not task of our owl
seeking, but one which has come to us il
the course of human events, and we ar,
bound by our honor as a nation t
carry it to successful and honorable is
sue. This we shall do, and before thi
generation has passed away the anti-impe
rialis;s themselves will be wondering wha
all their pother was about.

MINOR NOTES.

Between the beginning of the fiscal year,
July /, and Nov. l, with an additional ex-
penditure Of S150,000, rural free delivery
has been extended to nearly 10000 per-
sons at an annual cost to each of "a cents,
against an average cost of $3.50 in towns
of 5000 population.
In his annual report United States Treas
urer Roberts characterizes the operations
of the past fiscal year by declaring that a
notable activity was exhibited in all kinds
of currency, with marked increase in the
use of gold coin. The total ordinary re-
ceipts we're S515, 900, ,620, while the net or
dinary expenditures were a little over
S605, 100000.
The public debt statement for October
shows a gratifying increase in revenues
accompanied by decrease of expenses, so
that there was surplus of receipts for the
month of three and half million dollars,
aud surplus for the first four months of
the fiscal year of seven and quarter mil
lions. The receipts during October
amounted to more than $47, ,000 900, an in
crease of Ss,OO0,OOO as compared with
October 1898. 1t is probable that the fiscal
year will show surplus of revenue, in
spite of the large expenses on account OF
the war in the Philippines.

The Partition OF samoa.

The American, English and German
governments are reported to have agreed
to the partition of Samoa. 1t is said that
the United States will control the harbor of
Tutuila, which contains the harbor of
Pago Pago, where this country maintains
a eoaling station. This is the smallest
and least important of the islands, and it
is understood that Germany is to receive
what she has repeatedly tried to seize, the
island of Upola, on which Apia stands,
and which has the finest harbor in the
group. The triparlite agreement has
lasted 10 years.
1t recognized the independence of the
Samoan government, the right of the
natives to elect their own king and to
choose their form of government, accord
ing to their own laws and customs. The
function of the protectorate was to pass
upon and guard rights of property and to
adjudicate cases in which foreigners might
be concerned. 1t failed, mainly because
the German consul refused TO abide by the
decisions of the supreme court established
under this agreement, and Germany, in
stead of being punished, gets a reward for
this act of bad faith.
