The AssnuIt ON LouI,~t,

The attempt in Paris yesterday to mob
President, eLoubet might have been ex-
pected after the exhibition in the trial of
Deroulede 1t really seems as if the
French people of all classes had gone raw
ing mad. Without important exceptions
all agree that Dreyfus has been cruelty
prosecuted and outraged, and is an inno-
cent victim of the vilest conspiracy of
modern times. but a sadly large number
of French men and French women would
rather he should suffer a punishment
worse than death on DEVILS Island than
TO have to admit that their idolized army
is honeycombed with rascality. and that
some OF the highest officers of their gen.
eral stan are perjurers and traitors.
Loubet and his government are held re-
sponsible by these fanatics for the re-
opening OF the Dreyfus case. which the
late President Faure dared not touch for
fear OF certain sword of Damocles which
hung always over his head. The outbreak
yesterday was the revenge OF the anti
Dreyfusards upon the President. and they
were REINFORCED by the royalists. for the
idlteI OWN purpose. Wnlcn, OF course Is to
encourage anything calculated to precipi-
tate revolution and open the way for
coup d'etat
The riot would not have been truly
French If IL had not presented features of
opera 'comique. Fancy the Countess Roni
de Castellane-little Anna Gould-strutting
at the head of a lot of absinthe-exclted
young clubmen on the racecourse and
screaming, ''Vive rarmee." like mad,
Shade of the departed Jay,
The whole affair was pitifully ridiculous
in itself. but it plainly represents half
concealed conditions and movements that
are serious and menacing Events of the
past four years in France have shown the
whole present political structure OF the
country to be rotten to the core and that
its corruption has reached the stage of dis
integration seems very probable. 1t looks
very much as if the retrial of Dreyfus
would bring a crisis. and that the threats
of Deroulede and others might prove to
have been prophetic. The world will look
on with more interest than sympathy. for
the universal impression seems to be that
any change would be for the better

SHOT FOR INsuLr1narHE FLAG.

by only a few, and of what Significance no
one appears to know. At the head Of it
was a man playing an accordion. and be-
hind him standard bearer carrying an

AS the parade passed No. S4 Colgate

the left hand. Giuseppe Alesandro. twen-
ty-eight years old, of No. "a Colgate

believed that he will die.
AS soon as the two shots were fired and

ran. Not one of them was recognized and
the police have been unable to get even

near by, and II is believed that many per-
sons know who they are, but will not tell
because Of the indignity offered to the
flag.
All of the police reserves of the precinct
are out looking for the man who did the
shooting. 1t is not thought that his iden-
tity will ever be established.

there and in New York city for nearly
seven years. when he came to this State

FIVE LoGGERS KILLED.
Loaded Train Da.h-s Down n Noun
tain side.

Williamson. W. Va. June 5.-A messen-
ger who arrived here Saturday evening
from the upper waters of HUFF Creek. not
far from the line between Logan and Wy
oming counties, tells OF a frightful aeci-
dent which occurred there in the morn
ing
An engineer who was backing down n
grade on a short line road owned by the
HUFF Greek Timber Company. lost control
Of his engine, and the entire timber train,
consisting of five cars loaded with saw
logs, dashed down the hill at a rapid rate.
At a slight curve the entire train left the
rail and was hurled down the rugged hill
side, tearing down trees. and out of eight
men on the ears at the time all were killed
but three. II is the worst wreck that has
ever occurred in the logging region in this
section OF the State.
Owing to the isolated locality the names
of those killed could not be obtained. The
engineer of the train jumped just as his
train left the track and was horribly
bruised. but his injuries will not likely
prove fatal.

RAILWAY ROUTE SETTLED.

Hot Springs, Va, June 5.-The ques-

WANTS HIS DAUGHTER.
Aguinaids. Not the Filipino. Refuses
tO Give Up HIS Foster-ChtId,

Paterson. n. j.. June Judge Barkalow
will probably be called upon today to de-
eide whether Marie Rose Perenco shall be
placed under the care Of her father Roger
Perenco. or her foster father. Jenaro
AguinaldO. who disclaims any relationship
TO the Philippine dictator.
About dozen years ago Perenco was in
sore straits. and in his distress he asked
him friend Aguinaldo to care for his two
daughters. one of whom was Marie Rose.
Aguinaldo accepted the charge. and all
went well until recently. when Perenco de-
cided that he was rich enough to care for
his children, and so he went TO his friend
of the illustrious name and demanded back
his daughters. but Aguinaldo refused to
give them up.
Perenco went before Justice Keys. and
under the childreus protective statute
made complaint against Aguinaldo for not
sending Marie Rose 10 school. Marie Rose
did not know her father. Perenco. and
begged Justice Keys not to separate her
from Mr.. Aguinaldo.
Justice Keys will continue his enquiry
today. when the matter will probably be
removed to Judge Barkalow's court.

in the extreme. There is no variety in 1t,
and no chance Of earning honors except
the honor of approval from the authorities.
| and that, to growing boys and girls. does
not always seem a great inducement.
The Freeville Republic changes all this.
1t is evolved, gradually. from a more or
dinary method of philanthropic work. SIM
liar to that of. the Fresh Air Fund. Mr.
William r. George. the originator OF. the
scheme. took two hundred street children
OF New York to his farm in the country.
He found that under the influence Of un-
restricted charity they were counting on
gifts from their benefactors and feeling
aggrieved if they received nothing. This
is one of the uglest phases of human
nature with which charity workers have
to contend. When the pauper takes all
that is given him as his right, and de-
mands more, then the gifts are doing
harm. They are degrading and demoraliz-
ing Moral lectures on the dignity OF
character will not remedy this defect. Only
public opinion can do 1t.
In the summer of 1894, Mr.. George re-
ceived many donations of clothing in
tended for the use of the children. In
stead of giving this to them outright. he
conceived the plan of making them work
for it, SO many days labor purchasing
coat so many a pair of shoes. etc. Thus
the best-dressed boy was not the favorite
of the benefactor. but the boy who had
worked hard and behaved well. Then the
jury system was introduced for the pun
ishment of offenders. In tentative way
various experiments in self-government
were tried, and before long the Junior
Republic was fairly organized. There is
boy Legislature; there are boy policemen.
boy judges, boy contractors for work done.
and for the last year or two there has been
boy president. though at first Mr. George
kept this office in his own hands, with
a veto power on all laws. The age OF the
children varies from twelve to seventeen.
The success Of this system as applied
to some of the toughest and most in
tractable g9mins of New York proves its
wisdom. 1t is TO be hoped that il may
be adopted, .iaader wise guidance, in other
places. ~ ps'' ..

MONDAY, JUNE 5. 1899.
Philippine Developments.

Failure of the attempt to bag or get a
stand up fight with the rebels under Pho
del Pillar in the Taytay and Cainta hills,
has had the effect of stirring up the Ad-
ministration most uncomfortably. II is
known that the plan evolved by General
Otis to effect the capture or rout and dis
persal of this Tagal force, excited great
hope at the White House and in the War
Office. that its execution would amount TO
such an effective blow at the mutneers.
that they would at once decide TO be good.
and again come in 10 attend the lectures
of Sehoolmasters Schurman and Worcester.
The result of the movement. on the con-
trary. IS decided evidence that We have
not enough troops in LuzOn to attempt
comprehensive or extended operations
against Aguinaldo. 1t is plain that Otis
cannot spare men enough from the de-
fence of even his present much restricted
line. to make field campaign productive
of decisive military results. That would
necessarily involve the capture and fOrtifi
cation of many strategic points in the in
terror, lacking ability to accomplish which
every aggressive effort can only amount
to a chase all around Robin Hoods barn.
1t is possible that. in addition to this new
and convincing object lesson of past Ad-
ministration stupidity and folly, General
Otis may have added a few words in the
way of opinion by cable last night. # he
did that would account for the hasty sum-
mons of the Acting Secretary of War and
the Adjutant General to the Executive
Mansion after midnight and the secret
consultation which followed. In any
event unless Mr. McKinley's mental PEN
dulum has swung back to its former Ed
ds-Ireland point and he has revised
the settled determination to pacify and
hold the Philippines, he will now be COM
pare to send a military force to the aid of
Otis which will enable that officer to ac-
complish the work he was sent to Manila
to undertake. 1t would be useless to ex-
pect success from him with less than a
minimum of sixty thousand men. and the
ablest strategists regard the number men,
toned as a dangerously scant force with
which to essay the enterprise. There will
be developments in connection with the
Eastern policy of the Government within
a few days. possibly within a few hours,
and then We may be in position to judge
how far important political reasons of
a partisan character are likely to affect
national demands and national honor in
the matter of our splendid Eastern posses
sions.

A Wise Movement.

The suggestion has recently been made
that Junior Republic be established for
the benefit of the street waits of Wash
ington and Baltimore, the two cities COM
bining to raise fund for the purpose
The wisdom and philanthropy of this
movement cannot be too strongly COM
mended.
The George Junior Republic at Freeville
n. Y, is one of the most remarkable phil
anthropc experiments of this generation.
and its success, as reported by trustwor-
thy authorities, has been simply phenom-
email. 1t is one of those Utopian schemes
when stroked the right way is a great
deal better than cynics suppose.
There are two or three things, however
which fully account for its success. One
is that by it the children are removed en-
tirely from the influences of adult crimi-
mails. Another is that by the method OF
government all incentive to rebellion
removed. and still another is that the life
is so varied in its interests as to employ
the entire time and energy of the bright
est child. The reform school answers the
first requirement. but not the other two
Everyone knows that even in a we'll
conducted school there is a sort of under
lying idea that the teacher is the natural
enemy Of the pupils. and that the pub
lie opinion OF the school will, on occa-
sion. nullify the authority of teachers,
school board, and parents combined. Or
course. among the unframed and wayward
natures sent to the reform school this
feeling of rebellion is intensified to the ex-
treme, and it is only by personal mag
netism or measures so severe as to amount
to cruelty that such turbulent popula-
tion can be kept In order at all. II grown
men, when mustered out Of Army service,
cannot be controlled and prevented from
shooting police officers and holding a gen
eral carnival Of riot and disorder, what is
to be expected of young toughs from the
street?
Again, the work at which the waits of
the reform school are set is uninteresting

A Dream worth Dreaminw.

The ways are green with the giaddening sheer
OF the young years fairest daughter,
o, the shadows that fleet Ger the springing wheat
o, the magic of running water!
The spirit Of spring is in everything,
The banners OF spring streaming.
We march to a tune from the flies of June,
And lifes u dream worth dreaming.
It's all very well to sit and spell
At the lesson there's gainsaying;
But what the deuce wont and Use
When the whole mad worlds a-Maying?
When the meadow glows and the orchard SHOWS
And the airs with loye-motes teeming.
When fancies break and the senses wake
o life's a dream worth dreaming.
What Nature has writ with her lusty wit
Is worded wisely and kindly,
That whoever has dipped in her manuscript
Must up and follow her blindly.
Now the summer prime is her biithest rhyme,
In the being and in the seeming,
And they that have heard the overword
Know lifes dream worth dreaming.

MoNNETT AFTER THE TRUSTS
To Begin Suits Against the Steel and
Tobacco Combines.

Columbus, Ohio, June 5.-Attorney Gen
eral Monnett will begin suits this week
against both the Steel and Tobacco trusts.
Next on the list will be the Sugar Trust.
Complaints against all three under Ohio S
Antitrust law are now on file in his Office.
Although Attorney General Monnett was
not renominated for a third term, he is
highly pleased with the utterance of the
Republican convention last week on trusts.
He accepts II as hint to continue his pol
icy of holding industrial corporations
strictly to account.
The attorney general has mailed to
Cleveland, for introduction in the Cuyaho-
go circuit court. an additional suit against
the Brewery Trust to collect S3.900 dam
ages at the rate of $50 a day. This is the
penalty prescribed by one section of the
Antitrust act for failure to dissolve a
trust.
Attorney General Monnett also sent the
American Sugar Refining Company tthe
Sugar Trust warning under the same sec
tion of the law. This warning consists OF
notice TO discontinue doing business in this
State SO long as the trust resolution is
maintained, on pain of suffering the fifty
dollars-a day penalty

Democracy in College Life.

Jesse Lynch Williams. who has made
himself a reputation as bright, clear
headed. and honest observer of men and
things. has been making statements about
the social position of poor college students
which may surprise some people The
most remarkable is that no less than one
fourth of the latest graduating class of
three hundred members at Yale supported
themselves. wholly or in part during their
college course. 1t is little surprising to
know thattthe proportion is so large. The
| second assertion which he makes, and Cne
| which is pleasant to hear, is that these
| self-supporting students are not looked
down upon or made uncomfortable in any
way on account of their poverty. In view
! of some things which have been said about
| the growing spirit of aristocratic exclu-
4 siveness in American colleges and univer-
stiles, this is good. Mr. Williams states
that in his own college. Princeton, no foot
| ball team has existed in the last ten years
that did not contain at least one man who
| was working his way through, and that in
| variably some of the most popular and in
| fiuential men of the college are self-sup-
porting.
There may be a question as to the per-
fection of our colleges as a preparation for
life, and it is rather a serious question in
these days; but there can be none at all
as to the desirability of democracy in the
life of the college itself. There are peo-
pie who say that the college should be a
microcosm OF the world outside, rejecting
the caste spirit, the political differences,
the meannesses Of the world that SO the
students may be spared disillusions in after
life; but this view is, in view OF condi-
tions both snobbish and short sighted
Because distinctions exist in the outer
world which sometimes prevent men and
women Of real worth from comforting
benefits upon one, another. is that any
reason why they should exist In an institu-
tion which is supposed to afford train
ing which the world cannot give? Is there
any virtue, anywhere, in looking down
upon a man of inferior fortune or tradi-
tions, and making his life uncomfortable,
when by a word he might be helped to
a broader knowledge and a higher level
of thought? Is true aristocracy SO cheap a
thing that 1t must claim for itself the
privilege Of exclusiveness! II the gard
ener's son knows Greek and can express
fine ideas in worthy language, does that
detract from the standing of the capitalists g
son? The whole tendency Of our time is
toward the breaking down of artificial-not
real-barriers. No one can compel man
to choose as his intimate friend one who
is mentally and morally his inferior; but
no one should prohibit him from making
friend Of a man who is his equal in
