French affairs are now working in cir

the Dreyfus affair. The activity of Derou-
lede and his followers was inspired by the
revelations of the governments anomalous
position caused by the exposure of the army
scandal. The coup against the Deroulede
party a few days ago led to the barricad-
ing of a house in the Rue de Chabrol by
one of the men wanted by the police who
refused TO submit to arrest, and the con-
tinued siege has greatly aroused Paris. IL
was made evident 10 the populace that the
ministry dared not attempt a forcibe ar

would develop the hostile feelings of the
mob. The defiance of Guerin was inspired
largely by anti-Semitism Hatred of Drey-

SiIyer's Hope Still in Fusion.

Recently when ex-Gov. Stone of Mis-
souri, was quoted as in favor of a straight
out democratic fight next year. sans pop
ulism sans silver-republicanism, sans
everything but old-time democratic devo-
ton 10 free coinage. a small sensation fol-
lowed. What did it mean? Why had the
silverites grown cocky? What change
had taken place, and where, warrantins
such independence? The sensation was
short-live1. Mr.. Stone promptly repu-
dated the sentiment. He made it very
plain. in diplomatic way, that the silver
ties would be glad of any assistance from
any quarter, and that the latch-strins of
the lodge door danGled on the outside.
This. undoubtedly. is the real silverite
attitude. So far from being unusually
cocky, the silvertes are ahating a little
of their former spirit and rigidity. We are
not hearing SO much these days about
forcing the holters of 1896 who may desire
now TO return to the party fold, to present
Themselves on Bonded knees and with
words Of repentance in their mouths. There
is MIR. Watterson, for instance. who has
virtually returned to the fold. boasting of
his conduct in 1896. and even still demand
ing a new leader and a new platform. His
conduct would be unbearabe If recruits
were not in great request.
As for the populists. they VIII continue

west and northwest that the popuists still
count, and it is there that fusion is still
being solicited and accomplished. Mr..
Bryan in person supervises the job in Iowa.
and the result is very pleasing to him and
to his friends.
Let nobody make mistake about this
matter. Next year. as in 1896, the silver
ties will drum for recruits in every quarter
and the examinations for admission To the
fusion army will not In any manner be
rigidly conducted. Come one. come ALL will

Nothing so completely betrays the I'M
worthy character of the anti-Dreyfus prop
uganda the explanations of the move
ment in favor of Dreyfus that are offered
by his enemies. Money is made TO explain
all The Jews it is alleged, have sub
scribed an enormous corruption fund. and
invested it far and near. Frenchmen who
favor Dreyfus have all been dehauched
lola is but a corrupt tool with his pockets
we'll lined with hard cash. And now Cen
eral Mcrcer traces some of the money 10
the United States. The attitude OF the
press of this country is attributed to the
influence of money. The desire expressed
for justice Is but sham.
This opinion will cause only amusement
in this country And very properly. We
could not afford to be severe with General
MERCER for expressing it. AS a matter of
fact. he has not put lower valuation on
American influences than some Americans
themselves have INDUCED in. The so-called
'crime of 80 has been attributed to Brit
ish god-some of IL, as asserted subscribed
by the Rothschi.ds. The press was bought,
and even Congress manipulated. Mr.. Sher-
man has been described as merely an agent
for the foreigners who would reap enor-
nous advantages from the transaction.
Again. we have the same explanations
from the same sources of the fight won for
the gold standard. The money power-with
subscriptions chiefly from England-doml-
mates the press and many of our pubic
men. Great Britain, through such means,
is imposing her money standard on US. The
people are placed thus at appalling dis
advantage. The ordinary sources of their
instruction have been corrupted, and in some
way they must put end to it all How?
Many remedies are recommended The
pcpulists alone full of remedies that
their speakers and writers find the English
language poor as a vehicle for communicate
ing them.
So that. as we must bear with traducers
in o,Ir ranks about our own affairs, we
should be even-tempered with General Mer-
cier about this French affair. We are, in
deed. a little in his debt. He points out to
us how naturally person, in the advocacy
of A bad or a weak cause, runs to SANDER
and extremes.

The rejection of Emperor Williams canal
schemes by the Prussian diet is a serious
blow to that ambitious and enterprising
monarch. He Is reported as being in
rage against the obstreperous legislators,
management of the project. The majority
in the lower house of the diet against the
canal bills was very heavy indicating
serious government weakness. The best
the emperor's adherents could do was to
muster 141 votes against Do. with 30 MEM
bers not voting Yet the diet cannot now
be prorogued, there are various import
ant administrative measures remaining to
be acted upon. All reports suggest that
the emperor is determined to force the
lighting. He has sententiously expressed
this matter now before me would be tanta-
mount to an abdication." The present
issue. to be sure, relates only to Prussia
but the effect upon the imperial political
situation of a rejection of the governments
program may well be feared by the en-
peror's party. The canal scheme Is one
of his pet enterprises. He wishes to cover
Germany with artificial waterways, which
will not only stimulate commerce but per-
templated cost is enormous, and it is not
to be wondered at that the thrifty Prus-
slams should hesitate before consenting to
so large an outlay. 1t may be believed
that IL the emperor considers the action of
the diet as n challenge, threatening his
imperial prestige, he will take drastic meas

The Evening Star of this city one of the
most prosperous evening newspa pers in the
east. is now erecting commodiouS and
modern newspaper building. The founda-
tons for the new structure are practically
complete and work upon the superstructure
will be commenced this month. The new
home OF The Washington Evening Star is
to be erected upon the site of the old struc-
ture from which the paper has been is
sued since 1881, and is located at the
northwest corner of 18th street and Penn
sylvania avenue, directly opposite the grand
new city post office, In which latter build
ing the officers and clerks of the general
post office will soon be housed.
The rev structure is to be a handsome
specimen of the modern business building
While the exterior walls are to be built
of white marble, and this material is to
be enriched with carvings, and the grace
full lines as well the delicacy of the
material will make the building an object
of beauty and of artistic merit, yet it will
in every way be adapted for the every
day uses of this work-a-day world.
AS a combination of the useful and the
beautiful the new Star building will prove
to be a perpetual object lesson. For be-
hind this outer dress of white marble will
be concealed framework of steel. The
Ieat beams and Orders stretched across
from line to line will bind the whole into
one compact and durable structure and

ings of the floors in the rooms and the
wood used to trim the window openings and
the doors.
rise to the height of 100 feet and the pro-

appearance of a chimney stack, as is apt to
be the case with modern business build
ings, where the evident effort is to make
up for lack of ground space by climbing
into the clouds.

From the Nashville American.
If there ever was time in the history
of the United States when the true-blue
American citizen should show his love of
bloodstained field of LuZon thousands of
our countrymen are heroically battling
under the stars and stripes. Scores of
our brave boys are pouring out their life
blood that the homer and glory of their
native land may be maintained. Other
thousands are being rushed across the
seas TO carry forward the banner of hu-
man liberty and Christian civilization. Still
other thousands are tiockfng to the recruit
ing stations ready and anxious to be sent
where the battle RACES.
But there are spots on the horizon. There
are SkulkerS in the rear, and they are,
by their utterances and actions, giving en-
enlargement to the foe. They are endeav-
orins by every means in their power to
impress the world with the idea that the
United States is carrying on a cruel and
unjust war upon a weak and defenseless
people. They are picturing the treacherous
Malay chieftain as a second George Wash
ingto!i God save the markD struggling for
the liberty of his people. Every man, every
soldier. who is doing his part to win the
fight is held up as an 'imperialist' or an
enemy of his country. Every lie that in
genuity can invent is made use of to Ia :
rass the Americans at the front and those
who are trying to aid their efforts by Civ
ing them loyal support at home
1t is time to hold the men who are thus
encouraging the enemies of our common
country up to public scorn. There should
be no more temporiZing with those who are
firing upon our soldiers from the rear
while they arc so heroically battling with
the Tagais in the front. AS long as the
struggle is in progress he who is not for
us is against us. There can be no middle
ground. Whatever men may think as to
the final disposition of the Philippines, this
is not the time to settle that question. As
long as American soldiers being butch
cred by a ha!f-savage foe it is the duty
of every American to stand Loyalty by the
flag of his country Those who are not
willing to give 1t full allegiance, under ex-
listing circumstances, are not worthy to
enjoy the benefits vouchsafed to those who
live under it.

determined to show both their hatred of
the CHI, rch and their ability to defy the
police even more radically than Guerin and
his companions. Hence the disorders, which
resulted in the destruction of church prop
erty and the wounding of many scores of
people
Dreyfus is the storm center. Guerin, the
Jew batter. shouting imprecations against
the police from the window of his be-
s:eged stronghold. and Faure. the anarch-
list. spouting forth red doctrines from the
pedestal of a statue in the Place de la Re-
publique. represent the turmoil in the pub
lie mind which the prosecution and the
persecution of the unhappy captain have
caused. The government is between these
two fires. Defied by both factions, it is, in
deed. in an embarrassing position, but one
which. in truth. reflects credit upon 1t, #
it will but stand by it's guns and main
tain solid front in the interests of justice
and order.
The enemies of Dreyfus confidently fore
cast the conviction of the prisoner in con-
sequence Of this unwarranted outrage upon
the church by his partisans. Dreyfus'
friends repudiate these questionable allies.
1t is within the range of French reason
that the court-martial might be Influenced
by this anarchical outbreak in Paris. But
the courts verdict of guilty would be dis
credited upon its utterance. prejudiced
have been its proceedings thus far. and the
addition of another item in the scale
against the accused would be of small con-
sequence in the final reckoning. Yester-
days riots. indeed, have more bearing
upon the case in the worlds eyes than to
reveal more clearly than ever the fact
that France is passing through a terrible
prejudice.
