The declaration OF Dreyfus that his life
was due 10 his wife, deeply stirred all his
hearers. Tears were gllstening In his
eyes.
The session concluded with the con-
frontstion Of Capt. Lebrun Renault and
Gen. de Boisdeflre. the former explaining
that he did not speak to Major Forsenetti
Of Dreyfus' confession, because he had re-
ceiyed instructions to keep silent. DE
Boisdeffre denied that Forsenetti had ex-
pressed to him his conviction that Drey-
fus was Innocent.

his official visit to the government In.

Mr.. Mcconnell was really quite deeply
disappointed In the condition OF affairs
that he found prevailing at the local In
dian school. He Is man possessed OF
remarkably keen powers OF observation
and he can find in the most model OF the
government schools an abundance OF
matter for criticism Az he had not been
forewsrned in regards to the school In
this city, he did not como forearnsd. but
came expecting TO find the school here nc
more satisfactory than others that he had
examined elsewhere. In this expecta.
ta.lon he was happily doomed to disap.
polntment. As those. who read the in.
tergiew with him published In Tuesday &
CITIZEN, will remember. he found
no fault with the present management,
who, he said, were doing everything that
could be done under the unfayorable cir.
cumstances, over which they had no con

The reputation Of Colonel StOtzen-
burg as conscientious and able officer
is not Of recent manufacture. His
military and personal record Is Of the
highest and the charges Of tyrannical
and inconsiderave treatment Of his
men are lacking in consistency. Mill
tary discipline and the peculiar sys-
TEN Of caste which is "a part Of it,
must be trying to an American
soldier, brought up on the Declaration
Of Independence and his equal chances
Of being made president. A year of
army life will probably do him good
but the effect on his American sub
consciousness, at the time, is CALLING,
and reflections upon the man VIII, is
the local apex of the system, are nat.
ural. Knowing the fine quality Of
Col. StOtzenburg'S character and
training it will require evidence of
the most impartial and positive
nature, To convince either the depart
ment at Washington or those who
know him in Lincoln that he is guilty
of unsoldierly conduct. Happily the

To the Republicans of the Nebraska

To the Republicans of the Nebraska
Legislature:
Gentlemen: A vigorous fight is on
for the election Of United States SEN
ator. Upon your selection depends
very largely the welfare of the repub-
lican party in this state, and this con-
Sideration of all Others ought to de.
termine your selection. If the proper
man is selected the future success of
the republican party in this state is
almost an assured fact.
There is large number of splen.
did men standing for the Office of
senator: of this array of gentlemen
there seems to be but one candidate
against whom there is a bitter and de.
termined opposition; and that man is
Mr.. Thompson.
At least half of the public press of
this state Is openly opposed to his
election and almost entirely for party
reasons.
Mr.. Thompson has made the most
vigorous campaign Of any candidate
Tor this office; he has been at work
longer, had larger force in his EN-
ployment and has been making a cam.
paign for the purpose OF moulding
pubic sentiment in his favor. He
realized at the outset that public sen.
tlment was against him and that be.
fore he could get anyone to vote for
him he would have to convince them
that there was demand for his cleo.
ton, and with this end in view his
hiied men are travelling from one end
or the state to the other, soliciting
and impor.uning citizens not mem.
bers OF the Legislature, to lend him
their support. He has had his men
call upon almost every business man
ana institution in the city of Lincoln,
and has personally solicited and i'm.
portuhed MS support, and has induced
business men to write letters TO the
members or the legislature urging
them to'vote for him, and in every
way he has tried to muzzle some peo.
PIE and at the same time tried TO get
Others to talk in his interest with a
view TO moulding public sentiment in
his favor.
nave any of you stopped to inquire
why 1t was that public sentiment 70
start with was all against Mr.. Thomp.
son, and that it had to be moulded
ana worked and shaped in his favor,
"hat has he been doing that public
sentiment should all be against himg

proceeded no further than surveys
and concessions, important enough, TO
be sure, but inconsidcrablc weight
when compared with what has been
accomplished ON the Panama canal.
General Abbot, n member OF the
corps Of engineers, U. $. A. which
was appointed last spring to make
careful examination Of the entire
route OF the Panama canal, after he
had previously traverscd the Nicara-
qua route, says comparing the two
"In Nicaragua the general conditions
are distinctly inferior. Two ports
must be artiilcally prepared; one, at
least, Of great practical difficulty
since nature has already closed the
old harbor About 100 miles OF rail
road must 10 built, mostly traversing
"A wilderness. Almost nothing has
been done in the way Of construction
or Of preparation for the work. or the
whole length Of l76 miles, sixty-eight
miles follow the bed OF crooked
river where the prevailing trade
winds and the currents resulting
from the whole outflow of Lake Mica
ragua will unite to aggregate the dill
Guilty of shipping IN transit. The
length of the route Is about four times
that Of the Panama canal, adding pro-
portionately TO the time Of passage:
finally, at least one dam Is demanded,
quite without precedent in our canal
construction, besides several miles of
huge embankments in the San Fran
cisco basin, where the foundations are
extremely bad and where Il rupture at
any future time would entail veritable
disasters"
The opposition to 4 trans.lsthmian
canal is said to have been created en-
tirely by the railroads. Overland car
riage Is 50 much more expensive than
water shipment that the transcontin-
entail railroads have feared that a
canal which would place the Pacific
and Atlantic ports within less than
thirty days Of each other, (whcre
they are now separated by l35 day.,
would mean a serious loss OF freight
to the railroads. 1t is urged on the
other hand that stimulation OF the
Pacific coast would increase immigra-
ton which would increase production.
which, in turn would quickly affect
production in the middle states.
Can't. A. S. Crownisshield in the cur
rent number of The Century says on
this subject. "that for years past nine.
tenths Of the business of the trans.
continental railways has been local
and not overland, showing that for
years to come they must depend
almost entirely for business upon that
part Of their roads situated within
the borders of the coast states
The Panama railroad which par
allels the canal from ocean to ocean
has been of great assistance in con-
structing it.
Two canals on this iSthmuS, on ac-
count of the enormous expense of con-
struction are scarcely feasible. The
French company which now owns the
stock Is seeking to induce our govern.
ment to contribute to the Panama,
instead OF to the Nicaragua canal
From an economical point Of view as
opposed to purely national one, a
duplication Of the work already ac-
complished at such cost OF men and
money is very foolish. Moreover the
nearness OF the Nicaragua site to an
