Popular Expression Against the Yer
dict in the Dreyfus Case.

Capt Alfred Dreyfus was found
guilty of treason by the court-martial
at Rennes, France. on Saturday, and
was sentenced to 10 years imprison-
ment.
The Judges found that there were
"extenuating circumstances "
Up to Sunday there had been no
outbreak either at Rennes or Paris as q
result Of the verdict
Dreyfus bears the shock with forth
tude. He expects to be released Octo-
Der 10 next, five years from the date OF
his former condemnation. The prisoner
believes that a French law proyidin &
that period of deportation counts for
double the time of ordinary imprison'
ment applies in his case There Is
much doubt as to this
The prisoner has already signed ap'
plication for repeal Of the sentence,
which will be presented without de-
lay.
There is also report current that
Dreyfus will be pardoned.
Should Dreyfus serve another term OF
Imprisonment, he will probably be
sent to Forte COrte, 10 Corsica.
The press Of almost the whole world
condemns the Dreyfus verdict.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot is very
oatspoken in its denunciation OF
Senator Martin and his co workers for
taking the election Of his successor
away from the people where 1t belongs,
and giving 1t into the hands Of the
court house cliques and managers where
Il does not Of right belong. Our
Norfolk contemporary says:
This entire campaign. so far as Mr..
Martin Q = friends are concerned, mas
been conducted without regard TO the
people, and. in fact, in absolute dis
dsin and contempt Of the popular WILL
90 far as giving them q chance to ex-
press it, is concerned, either for MI
Martin or Mr.. Tyler.
And our irate contemporary down by
the sounding sea draws the following
sad augury from this perversion Of the
popp'-- expression:
Mr.. Martins election then, may be
more far reaching than it is now con,
templated. The ghost Of disfranchised
suffrage may rise up to be revenged {;
the voice Of the rank and file. like
mad bull, may be heard in the State
the people may turn against the
leaders in their indignation at being
outraged by the men they trusted. for
it Is better to have no party at all than
one differed by men with nothing but
personal ends to accomplish.

For sacerdotsl cleanliness in politics
commend us TO General Simon Bolivar
Buckner, who disappeared from public
view three years ago, when the Indian
apolis nominee went down, as 1t was
thought, in eternal oblivion. But not
so. Up rises from the tomb the shade
of Simon Bolivar to declare that the
purifcation of 1896, was by no means
a sufficient disinfectant The General
says he not only cannot vote for Goe-
bel, the regular Democratic nominee
for Governor OF Kentucky, but that he
cannot bring his tender conscience
down to voting for Brown. the nomi-
nee of the political purists in theco
morwealth Of the good old bourbon
whiskey. Even Brown is not pure
enough for General Bolivar. To use
metaphor familiar to the Kentuckians,
he must be put in vat and "recti-
fed before he is Simon pure-(the
dull reader will note the play ON
"Simon"). Well. on the next deal
General Bolivar will have to go out OF
the United States, and find in some
Utopia, beyond the confines OF the yet
explored world. some PlatO's Republic
where things are all in a state OF ideal
perfection a fair and beauteous fairy
land across whose bosom the trail OF
the serpent cannot be seen. The sub
limated politics. the ETHEREAL ethics. OF
General Simon Bolivar Buckner can
never pl ay all active part in the practical
fairs Of this closing era Of the min

and the multiplication table. and the
dollar and cent, are the factors in the
social and political problem Goodbye
Simon Bolivar. You are too good for the
evil times on which you were cast by
the chaste and austere star that presided
over your birth. You cannot keep up

Cold Standard, Says Lord curzon, will
Give Stability to midas
Foreign Trade

At session Of the India Council last
week the Vioeroy, Baron Ourzon of
Kedleston, concurred in the statement
of Mr.. Clinton Dawkins, the financial
member. who. in introducing the Our
rency bill, said that in the absence Of
the mint proclamation from England
II had been decided to make gold the
legal tender Immediately, in the con.
viction that no ether measure would
save India from disastrous embarrass-
msnt and fresh taxation.
Thanks to the sagacity and common
sense Of the committee, said the Vice
roy, the ability of the chairman, the
strength Of the case for the gold stand
ard and the remarkable consensus Of
opinion, the end OF a fierce dispute had
been reached. For twenty years the
policy of the government had been to
defend India from fresh taxation, the
inevitable consequence of the decline
in the value of the rupee. The adoption
Of gold standard would enable India
10 embark in discussion with foreign
Powers and enter the field on equal
terms. Since gold began to enter. last
year, several millions had arrived A
fixed value must lend stability and
confidence to foreign trade He did
not indulge in chimerical dreams OF the
future or pretend to open an Asiatic
Klondike. He firmly believed and hoped
the present action would invest the
financial horoscope of India with the
security which it had hitherto lacked,
and which it was the duty Of the gov
eminent to utilize in the interests OF
the Indian people.

Nothing so astonishing, 30 incompre.
hensible to the American mind has oc.
Cured in the present generation as the
tragedy, or rather melodrama. now in
the closing scene at Rennes. Probably
before these lines reach the eye Of the
reader the urtain will have fallen on
the fierce and astounding drama. Two
days ago the indications were that
there would be unanimous. though re-
luctant, acquittal of Dreyfus from the
total break down Of all the machina-
tions and cOnspiracies to establish his
guilt. But now all is changed and the
impression prevails that he will be
convicted by the unanimous voice OF
the court, Notwithstanding the over
whelming weight Of evidence in favor
OF his innocence. To lockers on at this
distance it seems as if the excitable and
passionate French people were in the
throes of some horrid nightmare.
Nothing at all approaching 1t
could possibly happen in Eng.
land or in America, or, in fact, in
any civilized country except France.
If an attentive reader Of the proceed
ings of the court. from the first hour,
were asked by another to explain what
the huge, volcanic hubbub is all about.
he would not find it an easy task TO un-
ravel the riddle. 1t viii not surprise
the student of French history to see the
portentous incident plunge France into
one Of the bloody revolutions that peri
odical'y betide that unhappy people.
Indeed they seem to be already in the
opening stage of such revolution-a
political and social upheavsl Of the en-
tire nation. When the day OF the
RObespierres. the Dantons, and the
Marats, the day of the guillotine and
the Bastile, arrives the multitudes from
other lands that are wont TO throng
Paris, will keep aloof from the sangui-
nary and repulsive scenes and sights
that will usurp the gaities Of that brill
liant capitol OF course the immense
preparations for the International Ex-
hibition will be abandoned. and the
$3.50 600, 900, on which the Parisians
are counting to be expended by visitors
will be disbursed elsewhere, and amid
more tranquil scenes.
The foregoing was written before the
reception of the Geographic announce
ment Of the decision Of the court which
by a vote of to ? pronounced the de-
PENDANT guilty. This is an UNANIMOUSLY
unjust verdict, and there can be but
little doubt that serious popular distur-
Dances will follow, and that France Is
threatened with a political upheaval
that will be attended with violent and
sanguinary scenes.
