The Dreyfus Case to Date.

The sense of justice and law and right
in France is in a pitiable condition. There
seems to be no sentiment in the country
able to cope with the dictatorial generals
of the army and demand justice for the
unfortunate prisoner of Devils Island. His
monstrous conviction, practically without
evidence, will stand, it is reported because
the application for revision was based on
the discovery of new facts, when it should
have been based on the merits of the entire
case The court of cessation very properly
insists that the appeal shall be continued
to the limits of the application. 1t is really
believed in France that the court of cassa-
tion--the whole court of forty-nine judges
it at heart opposed to revision of the case,
although it is conceded that under the rules
of the court it would have to entertain a
new application based on the merits of the
case. But if the court is really biased, even
such an application might prove unavail-
ing.
1t is also reported that superior council
of war has been held, and that the council
has declared Captain Dreyfus must not be
released under any circumstances. Such a
council speaks in the interest of the army
and especially of the officers who had
hand in the railroading of the unfortunate
officer to DEVILS Island. The army huge
and heartless, dominates France, its courts,
and even the people themselves. The honor
and authority of a handful of officers
is much to them, and justice and right very
little.
But no army and no court not even the
great body of the French people, can set
tie in that way the Dreyfus case so that it
will stay settled. 1t will return in some
form to plague the army and perhaps the
whole land. Justice must be done before
the Dreyfus case will be really settled.
Delay and opportunism may postpone a
settlement, but, every fresh turn of the
case will make the French government, al
ways cowardly, and the French people, al
ways given to injustice in dealing with Is
raelites, wish that the case had been set
tied right long ago.

Suffrage Reform At Stake.

The representative or senator who votes
for a repeal of the convention bill without
first knowing that proper suffrage amend
having to confront the charge that he has
left the state in the hands of ballot-box
suffers as the lesser of two evils. He will
have doomed the state to negro rule or to
all the corruptions and demoralzations
that grow out of an impure and distrusted
ballot.
The member of the legislature who de-
sires to serve the state more than he does
the ambition of Governor Johnston will in
sist upon the passage of needfsl oonstitu-
tional amendments before he casts a vote
to repeal the convention BILL For as surely
as the sun rises and sets, he will be held
responsible for the effect and result OF his
votes as whole in the extra session.
Governor Johnston seekcs to repeal the
convention bill, as stepping stone to a
conquest of the party machinery and of
senatorial seat; but representatives and
senators IN the legislature have no such
ambition to serve. and it behooves them
TO study we'll the effect OF a repeal bill
alone Where VIII such a bill leave the
state? What win be the effect of such a
bill upon the state in the years to come?
The member who votes for repeal bill
regardless of amendments cannot plead his
own vote upon proposed amendments as
sufficient defense; because he had created
the condition that made amendments need
full. The result of legislative action 8ill
lie at his door, because he, by his vote, in
favor of repeal left the state exposed either
to black rule or ballot-box corruption-tho
one or the other. A constitutional conven-
tion is much the best way in which suf-
frage reform can be secured, and if a
member of the legislature votes to take
from the people the right to say whether
or no they VIII have constitutional con-
ycntion, he need not try to escape the
effects of his act, for lie cannot do it. He

To follow him with goggling eye. n

Sidewalk strollers all turn out;
And he-he rolls serenely through

And ali the folks along the prom.
Gasp rapturiously, That's Tom."
Oh, Mr.. Reed, pray do not go,
Come back this summer to Grand Beach
Where you can be in easy reach;
Where folks who have an ennuied guest
And want to add to life zest
Can show him something he will like

Oh, spurn that base financial worm,

Come back to Portland. Let us gaze

AS Portland Head to Munjoy Hill,
And underneath your war trail paint
Your loving district sees its saint.

HE MAY BE THZ WHOLE THING

From the Calera Sentinel.
Does the governor really think that there
is SO much Johnston in the gubernatorial
office that it can dispense with the state
democratic committees thinking for the
good of the democratic party--the white
people of the state-and he can do it better
by himself? Again the Sentinel would
ask: Does the governor really mean to
characterize the democratic party of the
state, the democratic senators and con-
gressmen, the white people of the state, as
clamorous lobby? II he does, then the
Inference is that Johnston is the people.

GIRLS, BE Up-To-DATE-KNIT

From the New York Journal
Knitting is the present fad, and a very
insistent one it is. The knitting bag is
seen everywhere, and it is quite the thing
for the fashionable beauties to ply the Shin
ing needles at afternoon teas or at more
pretentious affairs when the men are at
their wine and cigars. The fad is on the
schedule for the summer campaign, and it
will be an interesting study in contrasts to
observe the athletic girl in golfing costume
and bicycle toggery demurely knitting on
the clubhouse verandas. Can 1t be that the
old-fashioned virtue of industry is about
to get its old-time recognition from the
new time fashionables? 1t would seem So

THEY WILL NOT EAT CROW

From the Wetumpka Herald.
The governor may be able to run the hog
over the boys in the legislature, but it is
doubtful. Very few men like to eat their
own words, and as the measure passed by
a good majority last December it is hardly
likely that the members, who, by their
speeches and votes, helped to pass the
measure, will come back now and eat a lot
of crow.
