From the New York Tribune
There is in France numerous and ven
cradle organization known as the Legion of
Honor. For nearly hundred years enrol
ment In its ranks has been ardently coveted
by all Frerchmen. There Is today
in France another legion of honor, neither
as numerous nor as old the order which
bears that name, and not marked with any
external insignia, but by no means less en-
titled to distinction and to the veneration
of those who appreciate the highest and
nOblest traits of manhood. Among its
members are Colonel P1cQuart, the brave
knight errant who sacrificed promising
career and placed his very life in jeopardy
to save not friend but a diSlked stranger
from unjust fate; NJ. lola, who hazard
ed fame and fortune and all he had most
prizeu to make of himself mere voice in
the wilderness crying for light; NJ Scheu-
rer-kestner, who left the ease and dignity
of senatorial state and made himself the
target for mobbish obloquy, If thus he
might make for reversal of an unjust judg-
ment: NJ. Trarieux, who gave to the cause
of right the influence Of his compelling Il y
quence ana his .untarnished honor; the con-
ductors of 81 Aurore,' who made their pa
per worthy of It's name as the medium Of
conductors of LIE Figaro who have made
that Journal so mighty a vehicle for the
dissemination of that same light; Captain
treysiaetter, who challenged the wrath of
his superior officers in behalf of justice; NJ.

manage, the wary Fabius. of forensic war

Does France care for the respect OF the
outside world? Or. to put it the other way,
and not too strongly, can she aHord 10
defy the world? The fate of the exposition
is as nothing In this Dreyfus case. The
boycOtting of that project by powers now
friendly to France would be but as a DIR op
in the bucket when compared with the
ocean of contempt which would sweep over
country capable of sustaining such an
infamy that of Rennes. The losses ana
disappointments of the Paris shopkeepers
would represent nothing from which France
could not quickly recover. But II con-
spiracy. perjury, forgery and tyranny, when
fully exposed. are Endorsed and thereby en-
couraged In that country, then Its doom IS
sealed.
Inc hooking Of justice at Rennes Is an
offense in itself so hideous as to deserve
special attention. If the first court-martfal
did not touch the lowest depths of outrage
this second one undoubtedly did. The first
court sat in circumstances of excitement
growing out of clamor for victim for Of
lenses freshly committed The atmosphere
was hazy with apprehensions and sus-
picions, and the occasion was somewhat
propitious for such scoundrelly work In the
way of forgery and double-dealing has
since been uncovered.
But this second court had nothing before
1t so clear as the proof of this scoundrel-
ism. 1t stood out in the blacklist proper
lions. Not only the crimes. but the names
of the criminals. were revealed. Confession
by word of mouth and confession by suicide
showed that whatever offenses against the
state had been committed in the premises
had not been committed by Captain Drey
fus. And yet this second court III these
changed circumstances, confirms the judy
ment of the first!

American officer. But he received none 1t

that the President finally nudged Havana

Mr.. Altseld In a Favorite Role.

It was easy to believe IN advance that
Mr.. Altgeld would twist the verdict rem
dered at Rennes into the Semblance of a
political argument. He Is never at a loss
to cry wolf" his pessimism Is always
alert. The condemnation of Dreyfus. he
says. will arouse the people of this country
to appreciate more fully than before the
dangers Of ''miIitarism." toward which the
United States is now drifting. With sibil-
liant whisper he is trying to brighten the
voters of the country into seeing spooks.
He wants them to imagine an American
Dreyfus. an American general staff. an
American Jouaust. an American Esterhazy.
Henry, MERCER, du Patty de Clam. Roget,
Boisdeffre and Biilot. In a few years. cries
this oracle Of woe, this republic will be
enfettered in the chains of a military oil
garchy, its policies dominated by the army,
its liberties hemmed in by bayonets, indi-
vidualism crushed out under a uniformed
system.
This Is perhaps clever politics, though
abomnably bad reasoning. 1t does scant
justice to the good sense Of the American
voter. 1t is an insult to the intelligence
of the citizens of the republic. But dema-
gogues like Mr.. Altgeld are accustomed
to inSOlent mis-measurements of the abil-
ity of their hearers to use their own brains
1t Is by no means unJuStlHaDly deroSa-
tory to France to declare that at no time
in her history has she ever reached the
plane of popular intelligence which has re-
suited here from steadfast progression
along the true lines of popular govern
ment, with education the aim of the state,
with prosperity the condition Of a great
majority of the people, with participation
in the public affairs open to the humblest
citizen.
1t is this difference between the two re-
publics which prevents such a disastrous
condition as "mlitarism" in America. with
the evils of unjust concentrations such as
that at Rennes, which the whole civilized
world is now righteously condemning in bit
ter terms Of reproach. It Is this difference
which will long preserve intact the indi-
vidual liberties of the people, whatever
may be the size of the military force re-
quired by the federal government for ma
tfonal policing and defense. The soil here
is not in condition to support the upas
tree of French nliitarism. Never will
Rennes be possible in this country until.
by some alchemy now beyond conception,
the American character is changed for the
worse, until patriotism is soured into pes
smism or diluted into selfish CONNER
cialism.

TEUTON AND ANGLO-SAXON.

LONDON, Nov. 30-Joseph Cham
berlain, secretary VI State for the col
ones, spoke this evening at Leicester
on the attitude of foreign nations in the
present crisis. In referring to the i'll.
feeling that existed between the North
and England during the civil war he
said.
"What the assertions of statesmen
could not do was done by the sympathy
we were abe to give when the United
States found itself the object of suspi
cion which has so often accompanied
our own transactions when engaged in
a war of justice against oppression,
war in favor of civilization and good
government. Our action proved TO the
Americans that we were indeed one
people, of the same thoughts and
guided by the same principles. The as
surauce that was given them in the
course of the Spanish war will, l be-
lieve, never be forgotten, and has
placed our relations in an admirable POI
sition. The union, the alliance, if you
please, the undo anding between
these two great nations is indeed a
guarantee of the peace OF the world.
But there is something more which
think any farseeing English statesman
must have long desired, that we should
not rem ain permanently isolated from
the continent of Europe, and think it
must have appeared evident to every
body that the natural alliance is be-
tween ourselves and the German EN-
pire. We have had our differences,
quarrels and contentious, but they have
all been about petty matters. These
difficulties have been gradually re-
moved, until now | cannot conceive
that any point can arise in the imme-
date future which can bring ourselves
and Germany into antagonism of inter-
ests. On the contrary, l can foresee
many things in the future which must
cause anxiety to the statesmen of Eu-
rope, but in which our interests are
clearly the same as Germany's and in
which the understanding of which |
have spoken in the case of America
might, if extended to Germany, do
more perhaps than any combination of
arms to preserve the peace of the
world"
A new triple alliance between the
Teuton:c race and the two great
branches of the Anglo-Saxons would,
said the secretary for the colonies, be
potent influence in the future of the
world.
