TIE public sense of justice was
shocked by the announcement Satur
day afternoon that Capt. Dreyfus
had been found guilty by the court
martial.
The fact that his sentence was for
only ten years imprisonment and that
he will probably be p~rdoned does
not change the case in any essential
for the real Importance of the verdict
is the light it throws on the suprem-
acy of the army in France. Dreyfus
was found guilty on the assertion OF
military men that on their ''honor,'
they believed him guilty. This is, Of
course, not evidence, but hearsay
but it was enough to convict Dreyfus
when the ''honor" of the army had tc
be sustained. French and Spanish
@'honor" correspond very closely t.
what other civilized nations call hy
pocricy, deceit and crime.

JOHN BLANCHARD, for ten years the
fearless editor of the Minneapolis
Times, died at his home in Mime
apolis Tuesday. His death will be a
great loss to the profession in Mime
sofa and the Northwest, for he had
that peculiar style of writing, where
by he seemed to appeal personally
to all his readers. He espoused the
cause of the lowly and downtrodden
with sympathetic interest though
always ready to defend the right
whoever might be concerned. He
was held in the highest esteem by his
associates, whose appreciation of him
was the highest compliment.

HENRY CLAY EVANS.

Commissioner of Pensions. Henry
Clay Evans, of Tennessee, re-
ceived considerable attention at
the hands of national encampment OF
the G.. A. r. at Philadelphia. There
had been distinct murlnur against
some of his ruling in pension cases,
and some of the "old boys in blue
complained bitterly.
Mr.. Evans is not southerner by
birth, having been born in Pennsyl
vania in Juniata county, Fifty six
years ago. He received a school and
academic education, and later an
education of business. He has a
favorable war record as member of
the 4lst Wisconsin infantry. He is
popular in his own town, has twice
been chosen mayor of Chattanooga,
aud in 1890 was elected to congress
over very popular Democrat. 1t
was very close race, 1854 votes
being cast for Evans, and 1858 for
Bates. It is claimed that he was
elected governor Of Tennessee five
years ago, but was counted out. His
friends wanted him placed on the
ticket with Mckinley in 1896, and he
had strong following in the conven-
ton.

Some of our misguided friends of
the opposition profess to see a close
and intimate relation between trusts
and tariff, and declare with great
seriousness that if free trade is re-
stored, trusts will of necessity lie
destroyed. Bless their poor foolish
souls, the most gigantic trusts in the
world have been running full blast
for years in England, which is the
hotbed Of free trade, and new COM
binations are being formed all the
time over there. And in this country
the Standard Oil, the parent of all
our trusts, owes it's existence and sue
cess to causes entirely outside of the
talfff; in fact the tariff does not affect
it at all. Go to, dear friends, go to,
the tariff is plant Indigenous and
we'll adapted to and f1ourishing under
American conditions and circum-
stances; the trust is an imported plant
and not likely to take permanent root
if proper methods are used for it's
determination. Anyway, trusts are
not the RESULT of our tariff system any
more than green cheese is caused by
COWS eating green grass.-Appleton

THE Minnesota State Fair this year
was the best ever held. The attend
ance was also Jaeger than it has ever
been before. Although the attendance
from the country districts was good
it was not as large as it should have
been. The larger the number of
farmers who go to the fair, the larger
will be the number of farmers who
understand their occupation and
have a high ideal of model farm.

THE DEAD BEE.

Dead amid the dewy clover
Lies bonny little rover ;,
Who could shape his course afaHe
Without compass, without star.
Nevermore across the azure
Shall he sail in search of treasure;
Nevermore, when day is gone,
Home shall HE his galleon
.grom the jonquil's golden chalice,
And the lily's ivory palace,
And the violets' divine
Cups of white and purple wine.
Smile, smile on, thou faithless summer,
To forget thine early conner.
Say, if thou hadst first departed,
Had he still been merry heartedY
On the boughs in rapture swinging
Gleefully the birds are singing.
/, who mourn thee, little bee,
Will pronounce thine elegy:
Be it meetness or unmeetness,
Thou didst garner up life's sweetness
Wiser than the sages wist;
Earth has one less optimist.

DIR, TIMOTHY DWIGHT
Famous Educator Who Made a Uni
versity of Yale.
Has Resigned the Presidency because
He Considers Himself TOO Old
to he of Usefulness to the
Grent school.

The resignation of Timothy Dwight
from the presidency of Yale university
will relieve from active duty one of the
most celebrated men of culture and let
tiers connected with an American inst-
tuition of learning. President Dwight
has asked to have his resignation GO
into effect at the end of the present col
lcge year in June, but every effort is
being made to induce him to reconsider
his decision and to continue to hold the
reins of government over the sons and
officials Of old Eli until the summer of
the second year of the new century.
President Dwight has been the head
of Yale university since 1856, when on
May 20 ne was unanimously chosen by
the corporation of the college to sue
coed DR.. Noah Porter. who had re-
signed six months before. Timothy
Dwight is thorough product of Yale
influences. He is grandson of the ia
nous DIR. Timothy Dwight. who was
president of the college from 1905 to
1917, in the stirring years of the new
republic. His father was James
bNlBht' ii hclChah'' anu hV was "'i -
at Norwich, Conn, in 1928. He entered
Yale at the age of II and graduated
with high rank in 1910.
After graduating he entered Yale a
second time as n theological student,
and at the same time became a tutor in
the college. After four years of work
among the students Mr.. Dwight re-
signed his professorship and went
abroad, devoting his time again to
study. which he pursued at Bonn and
Berlin. After three years sojourn in
foreign countries he returned to Amer
lea and again became associated with
the life of the New Haven university,

being named Buckingham professor of
sacred literature in the theological
school, position he retained until
asked to occupy the presidential chair
left vacant by the resignation Of Noah
Porter Prof. Dwight was also a mem
Der of the American committee for the
revision of the English version of the
Bible.
1t is largely owing to the personal
zeal of the retiring president that Yale
developed from a college into n uni
versity This important advancement
was effected at the opening of the new
year following his acceptance of the
office, and since the initial term of
President Dwight Yale has steadily in
creased in size, scope and Importance.
During his wise uperintendency many
new buildings have been added to the
college halls. among the most notable
being Dwight hall, dormitory named
in commemmoration of II. q, Law
renee, the Kent chemical laboratory,
the library donated by S. b. Chitten-
den, of Brooklyn, lecture and recita-
ton rooms. Many of the departments
of the university were increased in
usefulness by large donations and the
number of students almost doubled the
record of previous years-never during
the term of any president has so much
money been left to Yale university.
Timothy Dwight is a practical tinan-
cier, and he governed the university
wisely and well.
President Dwight has been honored
with various degrees. In April, 1869,
he was pronounced a doctor of divin-
ity by the Chicago Theological semi
nary. Yale gave him the same title in
1886. Harvard made him an LII. ID. in
the year of the centennial, and Prince
ton followed suit in 1888. He is the
author of THE True Ideal of
an American University" Com
mentary on the Gospel of John,
Translated from the French of f. Go
Diet, with Preface, Introductory Sug-
gestions and Additional Notes." and is
an editor of several volumes of the
American edition of Meyers Com
mentary on the New Testament" He
is also the author of many writings on
college topics compiled for different
magazines.

her tub and lifted it TO her head but

when there was reason to rejoice over
the success of the north in restoring

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Nickel Plating to lie superseded by
n New SurfRcing Which Is Said
to lie Rust Proof.

Something new in the way of treat
ing spokes, handlebars, nuts and other
parts that are now nickeled is being in
troduced in the west for the 1899
wheels. 1t is finish that looks like
gold and it is said for it that rust will
not touch any metal with which it is
coated. \ finish of this description is
one of the improvements much needed.
When bicycles were first made in this
country, spolles were generally enam-
eled i'm black This was method
copied from the English makers and
there was then no trouble with rusty
spokes. The English manufacturers
continue to enamel their spokes, but
the tendency toward showiness quickly
led American producers into the habit
of finishing them with nickel plate and
the custom has become universal
Nickel dresses a wheel, but the nickel
finish has been the cause Of no small
amount of annoyance to riders, be-
cause on small parts, such as spokes
and nuts the nickel does not take hold
strongly and rust accumuates in spite
of care. TO abolish nickel plating and
substitute some kind of suriacing that
will actually prevent Tusting will be n
step in the proper direction and one
likely to meet with approval on the part
of riders
