n DTPUY AND THE DREYFTS CASE.


1t is somewhat dsheartening TO find so sane
and Just a statesman as the Prime Minister OF
France committing himself and his administra-
ton to an act which, If not In itself unjust
must be regarded as n serious trihlng with
Justice We explained the other day the pro-
visions of the proposed bill for lnterruptng
in midcourse the consideration of the Dreyfus
case by the Court of Cassation and the origin
and intent of that revolutionary scheme. The
only possible shadow Of Justification for it lay
In the truth of the charges made against the
Criminal Section Of that court by VI. Qucsnay
de Beaurepairc who recently resigned his place
on the bench to indulge in most violent and
Incorporate attacks upon his former colleagues
Well the matter has been referred to n Parlia-
mentary committee, and it, after careful In
vestlgation and consideration, has decided that
NJ. de Beaurepare's charges are groundless, ana
il has voted. by to 3 to disapprove the pro-
posed bill. Yet NJ. Dupuy announces that he
will not withdraw the bill, but will make lis
passage a question: of confidence If 1t is re-
jected by the Chamber, therefore. he and his
colleagues will resign, and there will be an
other Ministerial crisis
This is dlsheartenng, because it provokes the
belief. which we should be most sorry TO have

reason does not want justice TO be established
I'm the Dreyfus case and is determined by some
means to prevent reopening of the trial. Can
the Government not trust the highest court In
the Republic? VIII 1t not have regard for the
findings Of It's own Parliamentary committee!
II proposes TO appeal TO the whole court against
the Criminal Section of II. Would 1t accept the
judgment OF the whole court? 1t appeals 10
the whole Chamber against a committee there
Of viii II abide by the vote of the whole
Chamber? There is little assurance that 1t will
IFS present course does not indicate 1t. If it
really means to repudlate each and every judi
cial decision that does not please ii, where Will
It stop? Does It mean finally, If need be- TO
appeal to the army against the civil authorities
and make of the Republic military despot-
ism? It could scarcely 60 straighter In that
direction than It is going now. But ". Dupuy
Is one of the last men to he suspected Of such

TILE WAT TO DO IT.

Several interesting little incidents occurred
here and at Albany yesterday which. though
comparativcly Insignificant in themselves, never
theless contribute to the sum Of human knOwl-
edoe concerning the ways Of Tammany. II
urobahlv has not been utterly forgotten in the
rush Of events elsewhere that upon Mr.. Gro
ker's nomination the Hon. James J. Coogan was
recently elected President of the Borough OF
Manhattan. vice Augustus w. Peters. trans
lated Acting in that capacity Mr. COogan sent
10 the Board Of Aldermen yesterday a resolution
providing that Elm-st. should he paved without
further delay Now. there is something rather
pleasing in the suggestion that one of the attri-
bates of n thorOughfare should be injected into
the chaos which has long reigned in Elm-st.,
and the resolution submitted by Mr.. CoOgan
tends TO confirm the theory that he has a good
heart: but IT cannot be successfully disputed
that the Hon. Maurice F. Holahan, President OF
the Board of Public improvements, had GER
tain amount Of reason on his side when he de
cared that Elm-st. could not he paved in the
highest style of the art until It had been graded.
and that It could not he graded so long as the
Board Of Aldermen withheld the necessary con
sent II appears to us that Mr.. Holahan's logic
is imprcgnablc, and we have no intention Of
helping Mr.. Coogan TO get around II. But when
Mr. Holahan, instead Of stopping there, went on
10 insinuate that Mr.. CoOgan was trying 10 Gre
ate the totally erroneous impression that the
President OF the Borough of Manhattan had du-
ties TO perform. and thereby 10 magnify his own
importance, he showed an ungenerous spirit. 1t
was not a necessary even novel statement.
II is a perfectly wellknown fact that the Presi-
dent of the Borough has nothing whatsoever to
do except 10 draw salary of 5000, but II IS
rather 10 the credit Of Mr.. Coogan than other
wise that he should have endeavored 10 invent a
means Of passing his time between paydays In
asmuch as the charter gave him none.
So much for the diversions OF one branch of
the Municipal Assembly yesterday The other
was not altogether unworthy of observation.
At the meeting of the Council there being moth
ing else on hand Of greater interest to mem
bers and taxpayers. Councilman Doyle proposed
that an additional attendant, bearing the fine
old name of Mulcahey, should be appointed at
a salary Of 81 600 Nothing could have been

what" he cried, "are we going to have an

low parsimony is seldom witnessed. We can
only account for it on the ground that Mr.. Leich

Quartz Fibcrs Are The Finest.

The finest fibers said to have ever
been made have been spun by Prof.
Boys out Of quartz. This highly re-
fractory substance, which requires to
melt it a temperature greater than that
developed in any furnace, when softened
by the intense heat of the oxyhydrogen
blowpipe. may be drawn out into threads
of incredible tineness. Prof. Boys
manipulates 1t by using a crossbow ar
rangement, by which "A straw, used rs
an arrow. carrying a small bit OF quartz
rod. is joined TO another rod Of quartz by
melting the point of contact. When the
straw arrow is fired from the crossbow
it draws out the quartz into a thread
which may be made OF almost any de-.
sired thickness, of any uniform diameter,
and remarkably strong, considering the
~tineness.
Fiber LIS, 600 of an inch in diameter
have been made, 100 of which only
equal in size the thickness of a single
silkworm's thread. and the ends as
they are drawn out become so fine that
they cannot be seen. ever with the aid
of the most powerful microscope, and
are no thicker than the millionth OF an
inch. A single cubic inch of quartz
would supply sufficient thread to go
around the world no fewer than 65S
times - in other words, the length
would be Is, 45o. 600 lie s.-JeWeLer's
