The Panic i'm Havana,

From the Detroit Free Press.)
The residents of Hanavan are up in arms.
The sanitary board has posted bulletins around
the city stating that every individual within
certain radius OF the town hall, must take a bath
before February l. whether they need it or not.
The proclamation has met with hot opposition
on the part OF some OF the older residents, but

Relief Commissioners had not begun their
deadly work. The four physicians who
took the temperature OF the distinguished
patients repeated that it will be some
days yet before any positive symptoms viii
appear, but the public is naturally anx-
ious. Most of the Commissioners seem TO
bear up well, at least in public, though
We may suspect that in the privacy OF
their sessions they lose something of their
self-restraint. Yesterday they examined
photographs of the microscopic microbes
with considerable interest. II must be ter

horns and tails are prowling around ones
insides, even though they are microscopic.

The friends of Rear Admiral Schley at

that Congress will do justice in the mat

is entitled to the credit for the magnificent
naval victory off Santiago.
The bureaucratic friends of Rear Admi-

Montgomery, Ala, enjoys the
DISTINCTION Of being the birthplace
of the Southern Confederacy and
the incubator fn which was hatch
ed the plans which resulted in the
civil war. The state capital
building, which is still the pride
Of the cry, furnished the broad
stone steps on which jefferson
Davis was inaugurated as presi-
dent, and the hall in which the
first Confederate Congress was
organized and neld. IL was from
this building that the telegram
was sent commanding that Fort
Sumpter be fired upon. Few
changes have been made in the
building since that time. 1t is,
however, q beautiful structure Of
brick and stone, three stories
high, and with massive stone pill
lars in front. II stands at the end
of a beautiful boulevard, a hum
dFcd feet wide, which runs from
the capital steps to the center Of
the business district. The gray
old capitol sits upon q lovely ele-
waited square, about twenty feet
above the streets on each side Of
lit. 1t is held in veneration by
the people OF Montgomery, and
is invariably visited and greatly
admired by visitors from Other
states.

ANXIOUS FOR coNsoLATIoN.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,,
which may be fairly said to be the rep
resentatiye organ Of the Massachusetts
"Malays," nieanly refers to the expan-
sion declaration of the Iowa republic
can platform as cowardly plank.
From its adoption the republican in
fers that national sentiment is turning
in favor of the ideas advanced by the
Malays themselves,
1t need hardly be said that the infer
ence isl too absurd to merit serious con-
sideration. And not only is the infer
ence wrong, but the statement that the
Iowa declaration is cowardly is an alb
solllte falsehood The plank in ques-
ton expresses the highest confidence
in the administration and its handling
of the Philippine war. Furthermore,
it demands the suppression of the revo-
luton, which has been inaugurated
against the government of the United
States in the island of LuZon.
Enemies of the administration and
its policy, resident in the eastern part
of the United States, and particularly
that portion of ii dominated by Akin
sonism, will get little sympathy or as
sistance from republicans of the mid
die west. If they are as anxious for
consolation as the declaration of the
Republican seems to indicate, they
might ask Aguinaldo and his party at
the next convention to adopt a plank
unfavorable to the present policy of
President Mckinley. Probably the
convention would be glad to oblige
them.

THE OTTUMWA COURIER: TUESDAY. AUGUST y Is, 1899.

y. P. Doliver and Bishop McCabe. This
is a list of men whose presence would
do honor toany city in Iowa. Allerton
should be proud of her success in Sc
curing them.
The fact that she has done so, makes
one wonder why Ottumwa does not
have a yearly Chatauqua, or if not
that, at least All occasional literary
event. Almost all other cities in Iowa
have such, advantages. If Ottumwa
does not do such things it cannot be
laid to lack Of enterprise on the part
of her citizens. There laudable emf
efgy in everything that conduces to the
city's welfare, precludes any such
charge. Nor is it possible to attribute
the absence Of things literary in OF
tumwa to lack of interest in such mat
ters. The excellent attendance upon
the University Extension courses, which
have been given here in the past, dis
proves this.
Whatever be the reason we have
never had such thing as Chatau-
qua meeting here, it cannot surely
stand in the way of our having one in
the future. An annual assembly of
this kind would be thoroughly appre-
|ciated by our citizens, and would bring
many interested people here from 9TH
er parts of the state. 1t would be a
good thing for Ottumwa, financially
as well as intellectually.

DREYFUS.

1t is good evidence of the innocence
of Dreyfus that almost the entire world
thinks him innocent. Many men of
many minds do not often make the
same mistake at the same time. In
France itself, slightly more than one
half of the people, according to the
estimate of correspondent, think
Dreyfus the innocent sufferer of ha-
tired and malignity. Only compare
lively small faction think him guilty,
and they have small grounds upon
which to rest their opinion.
Chief among those who prosecute
SSDreyfus is Henri Rochefort, a'Parisian
Journalist. For lack of better proof of
the soldiers guilt Monsieur Rochefort
claims that his hesitating answers, his
downcast mien, and his hating mem
DRY are direct evidence against him.
What foolishness! Would Monsieur
Rochefort have the world believe that
a man who had spent four years in an
iron cage. who had been beaten and
cruelty used, who had been saddled
with the most disgraceful crime known
to civilized man, and branded as n
traitor to his country-would he have
us believe that a man, however inno-
cent. could come through all this with
nerves mistaken, with mind unclouded,
and with body strong, active and full
of health? We are more inclined to
think that under such circumstances
than this a guilty man would come out
best.
AT any rate, Journalist Rochefort
must find better proof of the guilt of
Captain Dreyfns if he wishes intelli-
gent men to give earlto his accusations.
