A LESSON OF M1L1TARIsM.

1'he action of the president Of the Drey-
fus court-martlal in refusing TO issue d.
commission to take the testimony OF the
former military attaches OF the German
and italian governments respectively at
Paris after the clear intimation which
he had given of his readiness to do so,
can be regarded only as an expression
of the determination of the purpose Of
Col. Jouaust at least to declare In favor
Of the conviction of the defendant.
The next few days will determine the
result of the court-martial Whatever
that result may be, the people Of other
nationalities will be glad that the painful
exhibition which has been so long lin
progress at Rennes has been brought to
a close
It is really not Dreyfus that Is on
trial. It Is Militarism That Infamous
system has been exposed to the reproba-
ton Of all thoughtful people. The French
variety of it may be no worse than that
which prevails elsewhere: but it IS surely
bad enough.
A sound lesson has been presented to
the American people through the opera
lions of this so-called military tribunal
which they may not ignore with advan-
tage. Ours Is the only great nation which
is, or, at least, has been until recently,
free from the domination Of militarism.
The military arm of the government has al
ways, except in times Of war, been main
tanned as an insignificant force among
US. This has been SO because any other
course has always been regarded as in
consistent with the peoples liberties.
Of late the tendency has been among
us to glorify the military hero; and our
national government, aided by the fmpe-
rialist press and politicians, has done
all in It's power to promote this popular
tendency. But when we have burned all
our Greek fire we will be enabled to see
with our customary clearness, and the
prevailing huz3as will doubtless cease

SHOULD VETERANS BE IN IT?
A Second Of the Motion From a
GIenwoOd Man.

To. the Editor Of the Globe:
Thank you, Comrade Judkins. In your
communication to the St. Paul G l Q
of yesterday 1 think you have made a
move in the right direction.
According to my opinion q better sug-
gestion could not be made than that the
old veterans Of the Civil war should be
at hand to welcome home the boys from
the Spanish war We who swept the val
1eys and cleared the mountain tops in the
South from 81 to '65 are now too stiffened
to do similar services for Uncle Sam
but a large number of us are pleased to
note the fact that we had able-bodied
sons to send in our place to fight for our
country and our flag in a noble cause, for
human rights and freedom.
1 think there can be no doubt that
everybody will agree with us that good
representation of the old boys In blue
should be at hand and assist the good
citizens of our state to welcome home
our soldier boys from this late war
They have done their duty faithfully and

LAWMAKING BY PROXY.

Newspaper readers all over the country
have for many months past shown more
or less interest in the proceedings Of the
political body operating in New York
CITY. ostenslbly for the promotion OF
p0litical reform, known as the MaZet
committee. The work Of that committee
may be said to have ended not only in
failure of any good purpose, but in &C
complishing positively mischievous re-
suits.
While Senator Plat, doubtless as the
result Of some form Of compromise reach
ed between him and the Tammany poll
+icians. has repudiated the committee and
ell its works, the entire scheme Of So
called investigation was from the be-
ginning purely a partisan political device
to aid in getting control for the Re-
publican politicians Of the government OF
that city. This Is now universally con-
coded; and the movement now in progress
for the cooperation of Republican and
anti-Tammany Democratic politicians Is
the only direct offspring of the work Of
the committee.
Mr. Frank Moss, the lawyer Of the COM
mittee. has not succeeded, as did his pre-
decessor, Mr.. John W. Golf, in securing
elevation to the bench as the result Of
his labors Indeed, with all his hectoring
and utilization of the most dangerous
elements Of New York society to secure
the necessary political results. he IS re-
garded as having achieved a magnificent
and unparalleled failure to accomplish
any of the purposes he set out to ac-
complsh
In one respect Mr.. Moss has, however,
rendered the public valuable service. He
has pointed out in recent article In one
of the current magazines an abuse beside
which all his claims with reference to the
ilingsmisgovernment of the big city
are Of comparatively small moment. He
has shown that under the charter of New
York the power to administer criminal
Justice has been delegated to certain petty
officials of that city.
Under existing law, as pointed out by
Mr.. Moss, the members Of certain ad-
ministrative boards are given the power
to fix the criminal penalties attending the
doing or omission of certain acts the COM
mission or omission of which Is declar-
ed to be illegal. For instance, the mem
bers of the dock board are authorized to
make such rules and regulations as they
may deem necessary governing the docks
of the city, and ito fix the penalties" for
the violation Of those rules. The health
board is given even more plenary powers
and Is constituted a legislative body
within its own jurisdiction, 1t being de-
clared by law that that board may from
time to time alter, amend or annul any
part of the said sanitary code"
This is not representative. responsible
government 1t represents official,
bureaucratic ongarchy. It should not be
tolerated for a moment by any self-re-
specting people, but should be torn I'D,
root and branch, at whatever cost to the
party or political organization which
maintains it,
Mr.. Frank Moss, IN pointing out this
gross abuse Of governmental powers
existing in New York city, has shown
that ne has not wholly lived in vain

however, that the banks have been

TRADE IS FLOURIsHING.
Summing of the Situation by Brad
streets Is Favorable.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Strength of staple prices. activity in
fall demand, large railroad earnings, re-
ports Of heavy lake traffic and of activity
in leading industries are the features.
none of them necessarily new, but still
presenting themselves in the trade stu
alton this week. Expansion In fall de-
mand is perhaps most notable at the lead
ing Western and Northwestern markets,
but advices from Eastern markets fur
nish evidence that active interest is mani
tested at these centers. The price situ-
alton is one of notable strength, the
events Of the week. in fact. having been
to accentuate in many cases the advances
shown during August. Cereals are gen.
orally higher. and trading has been with.
in rather narrow limits, the advance in
wheat having been mainly due to short
covering induced by more bulltsh foreign
cables, and increased export demand. The
hot weather in the West Is responsible
for a further shading in exuberant esti-
mates of the corn crop and for the slight
strengthening in prices shown therein.
THE only changes in the iron and steel
situation are IN an upward direction as
to prices. Complaints Of behind-hand sup
plies and scarcity of material are still
made. Work has in many instances, no.
tably in ship building. been delayed by
backward deliveries of steel. Some i'm
provement in the position Of anthracite
coal Is reported. and prices obtained In
the East are claimed to be nearer the
scale, while recent advances at the West
are maintained The production for Au-
gust was fully IL per cent larger than in
the same month a year ago.
