the French army. He Is stlll loyal to
the organization which strove 10 ruin
him and doom him to a lifelong incar-
ceratIon on a desert island. II must Be
borne in mind that Captain Dreyfus
has lived the past three years In ignor-
ance OF the happenings OF the outside
world. Therefore he knows nothing OF
the events and disclosures which have
brought shame to the army.
He does not know that suicide has
followed suicide as an outgrowth OF the
plot against him. He is ignorant that
he was the victim Of base conspiracy
and sim honOrs men his superlors in
rank In the army who have been prov
ed beneath his contempt. II Is said
that next to his wife his deepest a1ec-
ton is for the army. He spent his first
day at Renncs writing long letter to
General Bolsdeffre. whom he believes to
be stu chief of the general stafr-a let
ter full OF thanks. full OF personal de-
votion, full OF expressions Of love for
the army and loyalty to It's chiefs.
What will be his feelings when he
knows the truth and his Illusions about
the honor and glory OF the army are
dispelled2 VIII the shock be more DIFF
ficult to bear than the burden OF false
Imprisonment? VIII his faith in the
army and in men depart forever? The
situation is pitlful in the extreme.

REFLEcrIoNs OF A BACHELOR.

Marriage is brand which most men
wear on their foreheads.
Probably 1t never occurred to the
Lord that Eve might refuse 10 marry
Adam.
Before girl is married she thinks
that every time man says my wire,
1t seems like caress.
It's different from what 1t used to be
in the Garden Of Eden, Nowadays the
woman lays It onto some man, and the
man blames the devil.
Every girl starts out with the idea
that after once she has once got a man
where she can tell him she loves him he
has got to either propose to her or COM
nit suicide.
Woman is the slave OF fashion; man
Is the slave Of woman.
The reason Cupid wears wings is so
he can fly out the window when poverty
comes in the door.
The woman who really thanks a man
for doing something never says word;
she Just looks It.
The only way man can keep his wife
from worrying about his morals is for
him to worry about her health.
About three days before his wife
comes home from Europe a man begins
to look as II he had n note coming due
which he couldn't pay. - New York

Was sIIchtlr inaccurate.

Senator N. B. Scott authorizes the
1nteiligencer to state that the mention
of his name in connection with the
agreement upon all the appointments
of census supervisors and the selection
Of this states quota of commissioned
officers for the army to recruit General
Otis forces, was inaccurate In one or
two particulars. He says that while
he has no special objection to any of
the selections, and two or three would
have been his personal choice, he was
not party to the consultation, having
been on the Pacific coast for many
weeks, and was, of course, unable to
be a participant in the matter, not be-
ing available.
Mr.. Scott left for Washington last
night, where he says he will remain
awhile, and attend to various matters.
He sees no objections to those named,
but thought, in justice to all concerned,
that the public should be reminded that
his long absence made 1t impossible for
him to take any part in the agree
ments.

One by one the arguments Of the Bry-
an Democracy for the reiteration Of the
silver declaration Of 1895 in next years
national platform are disappearing,
and about everything which happens
in financial circles, not on thiu conti-
nent alone, but in Europe, tends to
prove that the whole world Is abandon
ing silver as standard, and adopting
the gold standard. We have Witness
ed how the South American republics
are changing their policies, and there
is no encouragement to the Bryan
forces in this fact II free silver is a
good thing, and the gold standard is a
bad thing, why is the former being
abandoned:
Upon this point, under the head of
BI.Metallism's Last Ditch" the New
York Sun, comments upon the report
Of the special parliamentary committee
OF Great Britain on the monetary COM
dItlon Of India. The committee was
appointed by the house Of commons
more than a year ago, and It now re-
commends the adoption OF the gold
standard for india, approves the action
OF the government Of India in closing
the Indian mints to silver, and advises
against re-opening them. The report
recommends the coinage Of gold sover-
eigns, the making of the sovereign a
legal tender, the maintenance by the
government OF gold reserve, and
other necessary acts in connection with
the establishment of the new standard
OF currency.
1t is regarded that this action of the
committee precedes the final settle
ment of the bi-metallic agitation in
Europe, and especially in Great Brit
ain. There may be lively debate in
parliament over the report, and pend
ing the enactment OF law carrying
the recommendations into effect, but
there is little or no doubt Of the result.
on this point, the Sun says:
That In this final struggle bi-metal-
Ilsm will be defeated, everything indl-

Of exchange between London and Cal

BRYANs COURSE
In Declaiming Against Imperialism
Utter Folly.

In Declaiming Against Imperialism
Utter Folly.
Washington Post: Mr. Bryan served
his country well when he urged prompt
ratification of the treaty with Spain.
The Post is not inclined to say harsh
things of those senators who delayed
ratification. They were in the exercise
Of constitutional right, and each one
Of them was the sole judge Of his duty
In the premises. But The Post regret
ted then, and 1t suspects that they re-
greet now, that the treaty was not rati-
fed before the Tagals opened war on
our troops. The Post preferred Mr..
Bryan's judgment to theirs.
But the present course Of Mr.. Bryan
seems TO us decidedly less commenda-
Bile than that eminently patriotic incl
dent. He dIscourses eloquently on mis-
takes. but It seems TO US that he Is
making one, serious one, at this very
time. He is drawing the attention of
his friends and admirers from the one
great duty Of the present by bringing
up for discussion in an exciting manner
question that should be permitted to
wait for consideration until that duty
is performed. What possible good can
be wrought by disputation over the
form of style OF government to be in
augurated in the Philippines while the
instruction goes on? Mr.. Bryan
knows, as does every intelligent
American. that the ratification Of the
treaty clothed this nation with the
duty of establishing order and inaugu-
rating good government throughout
the Philippines. He knows, and all Of
his countrymen understand, that we
cannot default on the obligation We
have assumed. Why, then. while the
Tagal instruction lasts, does he go up
and down the country descanting
against expansion? Why cannot he,
why cannot all Americans, save the
Atkinsons and the GodlIinB, put on par
tlsan pickering over imperialism"
until the insurgents are crushed into
obedience? That work accomplished,
there will be time enough to discuss
Mr. Bryan's Ann Arbor suggestion OF
independence under a protectorate."
And It may happen that all parties and
factions will agree to give the FiliDlnos
MS much independence as shall be found
compatible with an efficient protector

The Meteorological Society of New
York has at last awakened to the
duty of investigating the Christian
Science practice. Says the President Of
the society:
What the Medico-Legal Society in
tends doing now Is not crusade
against the Christian Science church.
So far as possible, no attention what
ever will be paid to the religious be-
liefs of the Christian Scientists. We
simply intend to put their practices
among the sick to the test Of the law.
In doing this, we shall be perfectly
fair. To prove 1t, intend to appoint
on the committee OF Investigation two
doctors, two lawyers and two Christian
Scientists, allowing them to appoint
one other member as chairman. nave
not the slightest doubt that In many
cases of nervous disease the Christian
Scientists do q great deal Of good by
suggestion. But the same amount Oh
good can be done and IS done by sug-
gestion in ordinary medical treatment.

French Coupling Cuban Lands.

Tit is true that agents of the French
government are rapidly buying UP all
the tobacco lands in Cuba they can get
hold of, as reported in yesterdays dis
patches, we may be forced to have
some serious dealings with France
when it comes to the final settlement
of Cuban affairs. The report comes
from General Rosser. of Virginia, who
has been in Cuba to buy tobacco lands,
found great quantity of the property
in one province bought up, and ran
across French agents everywhere.
English capitalists are taking advan-
tage of the wants and willingness Of
the Cubans to buy up sugar mills.
This is not SO bad. English capital
may help to develop Cuba's Industries
and assist in making her prosperous
again, but the French purpose is DIFF
ferent. 1t is to supply French tobacco
factories to maintain Its monopoly of
the business in France, and would cut
of our supply Of Cuban tobacco.

to get out of the Philippine hole. 1t so
happens that Governor Roosevelt has
denied all the absurd stories that have
been told about that interview with the
President. Moreover. he is in accord
with the policy that is being pursued
in the Philippines. Like the sensible,
soldlerly man he is. he sees no other
way. He has emphatIcally nailed the
story that he was offered a brigadier
generalship in the army for service
there, and that the President proffered
him place In his cabinet as secretary

Henry Blount.

This we'll known "apostle Of sun
shine" appeared before a Scotland
Neck audience for the third time Tues
day night. He gave the appreciatiye
audience that greeted him his bottle
of "Chow-Chow," or Mis- brilliant illus
tration OF wit, humor, eloquence and
pathos. For an hour he held his au-
dience as only Henry Blount could,
swaying them alternately from smiles
to tears, from sadness to laughter,
making a merry evening for all.
He closed with a most brilliant and
glowing tribute to woman's devotion,
incidentally illustrating that heroism
displayed by the women of the South
IN their devotion to the "Lost Cause"
which was applauded loud and long.
In introducing Mr.. Blount, Mr.. w.
A. Dunn, President of the Temperance
in whose interest the
lecture was given, aptly referred to the
lecturer as the "apostle OF sunshine, y
known to all of North Carolina, and
one who spreads sunshine and gladness
wherever he goes. A rare compliment,
indeed, but one which Mr.. Blount we'll
deserves.
