JUSTICE FOR DRETFUS.

After more than four years Of agita-
ton, which at times threatened to en-
gulf France in revolution, there is a
prospect of justice for Captain Drey-
fus, whose unfortunate fate has COM
manded almost universal sympathy, for
everywhere outside of France he is re-
garded as the victim of a. base con-
spiracy and malicious persecution. The
report of NJ. De Beaupre, presenting a
thorough review of the case, it is an
nounced upon apparently trustworthy
authority, will be sustained by ma
jority of the court of cessation and
the prisoner of Devils island will be
returned to France and given a retrial
before Il court-martial.
The report of Nj. De Beaupre is Il
most convincing document 1t points
out with clearness and force the base
and INSCRIPTIONS methods that We're
employed against Dreyfus. The indict-
ment which the facts make against
his military judges is such as should
condemn them all to prison or exile.
Forgery, tampering with dates, ma
nipulating records, manufacturing false
evidence and bold use of bogus evil
dence are features of this Indictment.
The report deals with the case in a
spirit of entire fairness and while II
is evident that NJ. De Beaupre believes
Dreyfus to be innocent he urges only
that he be given n retrial. That re-
trial would result in acquittal there is
little reason to doubt. The military
element has been discounted If not
routed and for this great praise is due
the fair-minded press of Paris, espe
cially the Figaro, whose publication OF
the evidence given before the court
showed how flimsy was the structure
on which the conviction Of Dreyfus
was builded.
1t is noteworthy as illustrating the
change that has taken place in popular
feeling that the recommendation of Il
retrial of Dreyfus has caused no out
burst of indignant protest and no riot
Gus demonstrations, such as were made
few months ago against the friends
of Dreyfus and those who urged that
justice be done him. There has been
remarkable change in public senti-
ment and it is of good augury for the
lonely exile, as we'll as for the triumph
of justice and right France has BEEN
put to severe strain. She has had
to consider the question whether the
military or the civil power should be
ascendant. The response is in favor OF
the latter. Lovers of justice every
where will rejoice at the promise that
a great wrong is to be set right.

The tcrrors of Siberia have been much
talked Of as proceeding from an implacable
climate and a soil that deHed cultivation,
while the primal resource OF hunting was
not possible to settlers by reason OF the
absence of game in the distant land. Be
meath its surface, however. existed valuable
and varied mines, and to work these a
vast convict population was recruited from
Russia with all the vigor OF hard, cruel
and arbitrary code
The pathetic story Of the Siberian exiles
have been heavily underscored in the drama
and supported in fiction and by party
pamphleteers, not to speak OF the exag-
gerations of eminent travellers, all lending
their aid to convey to the world an i'm
preston of life in the country as more
wretched than even its natural hospitali-
ties would give ground for.
But recently we begin to learn that ST.
IBERIA is a rich and fertile land, not flowing
with milk and honey, indeed, but prompt
to respond to the plow and to yield various
and abundant growth under cultivation.
and that its climate is not in any way more
severe than that OF countries in the same
latitude and OF similar physical conditions
with reference to elevations and water
sheds. 1t is. therefore, not surprising that
we hear of the deliberations of the Russian
government to abandon the transportation
system to Siberia as a means or punish
ing offenses against the law, upon the
grounds that the invasion of 1t by convcts
is prejudiolal to the interests OF the coun-
hy and retards it's development.
1t happened in the same way in Aus
tralia, Van Diemen's Land and Barbados
when the English prisoners were deported
thither. The colonies simply would not
admit them and the mother country was
forced to seek another way to punish It's
criminals. There is a significance In the
recognition by the Cars government OK
the fact that Siberia has future which
supports our lately acquired information

WESTERN uoNons TO scHLEy.
Cheers for the Hero of santiago from
Omaha to pikc's Peak.
Baltimore American.


The people seem to have no difficulty in
singing out the hero Of Santiago Admiral
Dewey is the only person who can so stir
the American people as Schfey has done dur
ing his western tour. II has been a tri-
umphal progress In Omaha the entire city
greeted him. 1t was no workedup AFFAIR.
The people fairly bubbled over with enthusi-
asm. From there on the popular demonstra-
tions have continued. Thousands have col
lected at way stations to do honor to the
man who annhilated Cervera's fleet and
practically brought the war TO an end. They
know very well who did It, and are deter
mined that Schley shall have the credit, so
far as they can give 1t. They are not
harassed by any doubts whatever concerning
Schiey's "reprehensible conduct"
They regard 1t as very good conduct to
have whipped Cervera and sent his fleet to
the bottom, and IL the Navy department has
been unable to decide who is entitled to the
honors, their plain common sense and COM
mon honesty have encountered no obstacles.
The same popular demonstrations have char
acterized Admiral Sshleys movements in the
east. To say nothing Of Maryland his home,
where he is enshrined in the hearts OF the
people, the citizens of Philadelphia, New
York and Boston have welcomed him with
great enthusiasm, showing NledllN buaI NHCS
have no trouble in picking out the man who
destroyed Cervera's fleet. The people, with
extraordinary unanimity, conccde that the
officer who was in command, and who opened
and closed the fight and fought remark
ably large part of 1t with his own ship, was
the hero OF the battle, and not the officer
who was not even in sight of 1t, and did not
appear on the scene until nearly an hour
after the fight was over.
Admiral Schley, when asked II any maga-
zine had printed his story OF the Santiago
campaign, said: "No, l have not written
anything, and liza :" declined all requests for
contributions of literary kind. do not
berieve that those who make history, or
assist in making history, should write It,
Their field of vision is necessarily limited
and they view it differently from one who
might obliquely see the entire situation.
Then, again, there are personal interests
that should be eliminated, and the simple
facts should be handed down to subsequent
generations. 1t is facts that the people want
and when the facts are in their possession
they do not have to go to normal school
to deduct conclusions" Outside of the OFF,
cial reports, this is the most important con-
tribution that has yet been made to the
literature of the Santiago campaign. WIS
dom and satire are admirably blended. and
one wishes that Schley would write history
Of the campaign. Its interest would be un-

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

There is an old adage that "brag' Is
a good dog, but "hod-him- fast a better
one. The brag and buster of the
World.Herald about its inflated circu-
laton and the great pressure upon its
advertising columns may dupe some
credulous people, but the proof of the
pudding is in the eating.
1t is a well established fact that the
value Of advertising is measured not
merely by the number of papers struck
off by the presses, but by the quality
and stability of the subscription list,
and more especially by the nome circu-
lation. The true test of the value OF
a newspaper as an advertising medium
Is its local patronage. Inasmuch as 80
per cent of all wants advertising Is di-
rected at local readers and fully 50 per
cent of all the revenue from advertis-
ing comes from the home advertiser,
whose principal business comes from
people within ten miles of their own
stores and shops the circulation within
that radius is the all-important factor
in securing returns for their money.
Applying this crucial test to the
Omaha papers, The Bee has been for
more than twenty years, and is today
more than ever, without a rival worthy
the name. The last complete comparison
of carrier delivery circulation in this city
made two years ago disclosed the in
controvertible fact that The Evening
Bee alone was reaching two bona tide
paying subscribers where one was
reached by any other paper. In order
to ascertain whether this preponderance
of city circulation still holds good, an
other census has just been taken of
seven carrier delivery routes located Ill
the best residence portions of the city,
with the following result for botn morn
ing and evening editions of The Bee
and the World Herald:

The first step in the organization Of
civil government in the Philippines has
been taken in the re-cstablishment of
the courts and this is very likely to
prove of great value in its influence
upon the people. a majority or the
members of the principal tribunal are
Filipino lawyers of distinction, the chief
Justice being regarded as the leader or
his profession in the islands and he
was formerly, it is said, Aguinaldo's
principal adviser. In taking an oath
which recognizes and accepts the au-
thority of the United States these men
have set an example which cannot fail
TO make an impression upon their fell
low countrymen favorable to paciiica-
ton. They are satisfied and by their
action have shown that they nave CON
tidence in the assurances which this
nation has given.
The re-establishment of the judicial
system largely upon former lines, with
native lawyers constituting a majority
of the membership of the courts and
with Spanish as the official language,
is an object lesson as to the intentions
of this country which We think cannot
fail to produce an excellent effect upon
the minds of the more intelligent Fill
pinos. There is no innovation. Respect
is shown for the system with which the
people are familiar. The language IN
which for centuries the judicial bust
ness has been conducted will continue
to serve this purpose. There will be
no departure from the long established
and familiar forms except where 1t ls
absolutely necessary to do so in the
eral Otis has shown most commendable
judgment in not yielding to the appeal
for a radical change. Had he adopted,
as he was urged to do, the English code
and language, no little difficulty would
have been found in effecting a read
would have caused more or less public
discomfort and resentment.
The courts having been re-established
and the judicial machinery put in mo-
ton practically as it was under Span
ish sovereignty, only those things being
eliminated which are incompatible with
American rule, it is to be presumed
that this first step in the organization
of civil government will be followed
as speedily as practicable with other
measures for establishing such govern
ment in all the territory in actual pos
session of the United States. 1t is most
desirable that the Filipinos be given
practical evidence of the purpose of
the United States to give them as large
a measure of home rule as existing
conditions will safely admit of. 1t
would seem that something more in this
direction might be done at once and If
done there can be no doubt as to the
good effect it would have in creatins
among the natives confidence in Amer-
can good faitn.
The Importance of re-establishing the
Philippine courts will undoubtedly be
made manifest at once. The United
States has secured allies in the Filipino
members of the courts who there is
every reason to think Will prove eX-
ceedingly useful. 1t would be very
strange if the example of such men did
not exert very decided influence upon
their fellow cOuntrymen.

Marked Change of Tune.

With nations as with individuals senti-
mental consideration don't count for much
when question OF dollars and cents is in
troduced. Canada as an integral part of
the British empire, is of course, a sharer
in the affectionate sentiments lately de-
veloped for Uncle Sam by our Anglo Saxon
relatives. But Canada, as Sir Wilfred
Laurier points out can hardly be expected
to carry this sentiment to the point of hand
ing over to Uncle Sam some hundreds of
square miles of territory when Uncle Sam
refuses even to submit his claim to arbtra-
tion. AS matter of fact, the American
position in the Alaskan matter must be
somewhat disconcerting to the Britons. 1t
was their comfortable hope and expectation
that the United States would pull British
chestnuts out Of the fire, yet here we have
the position exactly reversed.

ABoLIsHING GRADE CROSSING.
How Railroads Benefited Themselves
by Heeding Public Demands.
Chicago Times Herald


With six railroads added to those that
are already in the use of elevated tracks
Chicago will have grade crossing for the ex-
ception instead of the rule and win have
made surprising record in the line Of mu
nicipal improvements. This, too, in the face
of the most powerful opposition.
1t must seem incredible to the newcomer
and yet it Is a fact, that the first work
on track elevation was done as late as
the year 1892. By that time there had
been a great deal of agitation for the
change, but the chorus of dissent from the
companies was unanimous and as loud as
the footing of all the steam whistles on their
locomotives They would be blown, as
Thomas Carlyle might have said for them,
to miscellaneous ruin by a track elevation
order and felt bankrupt by anticipation
But with the prospects of a worlds fair the
Illinois Central began to see that elevation
meant a great immediate gain for it, owing
to the facilities that it would provide for the
quick handling of cars So 1t took the initia-
tive and became the pioneer in reform that
has fairly revolutionized Chicago within a
short period Of six years.
Henceforth the greatest argument for
track elevation was ever present in the
Illinois Centrals example and the railroads
soon discovered that they would benefit as
we'll as the city by the abolition of grade
crossings. Given the elevation, the tiagmen
could be dispensed WITH greater speed
could be maintained within the municipal
limits and so great did the advantages begin
to appear that the fear of expense was grad
ually dispelled. AS the other roads followed
the lead of the Central each new experiment
added to the force of the argument until
now it seems that there is only one reaction
ary left among the many transportation
corporations which have terminals in the
greatest railroad center Of the world
The case is an excellent illustration of the
unreasoning reluctance of such companies to
consult the public needs, and shows that
their obstinacy Is by no means an evidence
OF their wisdom or business acumen. AS a
rule what the public gets from steam and
street railways 1t gets by compulson, no
matter IL the companies themselves are to
share the gain.
In the present instance the controversy has
ended very happily on all accounts Mis-
named public thoroughfares have become rsal
thoroughfares, to the infinite relief of the
people, and the railroads now have thor
oughfares of their own, which must be a
tremendous relief to them also.

IMMIGRATION.

Immigration is on the increase and
the commissioner general is of the
opinion that over 100000 immigrants
will land in the United States during
the present fiscal year, which ends
June 30. The immigration for the
fiscal year 1897 was over 100000 and
for 1898 1t was n little over 229,0OO.
According to present indications, there
fore, we will receive this year over
$4,000 more immigrants than last year.
The explanation of the increase Is
found, of course, in returning pros
perity in this country. Yet it appears
that not great many more Europeans
than usual are being induced TO leave
their native lands by the improved
conditions here. The fact is that most
of the commercial nations of Europe
are experiencing higher measure of
prosperity than for several years aud
while wages are nowhere so good as

Shelving the Constitution.


Since the Hon. Timothy Sullivan of New
York inquired with proper scorn, "Wots
de constooshun among friends?" he
has gained many distinguished adherents.
General Wesley Merritt, for instance, has
declared that I'VE have outgrown the con-
stitution. 1t is not worth while to discuss
it." 1t is the opinion of President Capen of
Tufts college that "the constitution must
bend" and Editor Haskell Of the Boston
Herald finds that "we can get along just as
well without the constitutions we shall make
a better one" And now we have the dis
tinguished authority cf the Hon. "Cush"
Davis that 1.-THE constitution must always
adapt itself TO whatever scheme OF expan-
sion or imperialism a wise public policy de-
mands." Surely 1t Is hardly worth while TO
maintain an absurd, superstitious reverence
for such an antiquated and absolete instru-
ment in the face OF all this learning and
craftsmanship. Let the constitution be ig-
nored altogether, save when an attempt to
impose an income tax renders a temporary
recurrence to Its principles advisable,
