THE greatest military achievement OF
the world" said Ananias Fisher as he
shifted his seat to a cracker box in the
Sixth street grocery store, was when
the king OF Spain with 10000 men
marched up a hill and then marched
down again" He paused to allow his
hearers to challenge the statement but
they failed to reply
Now some people may think that
HannibaIs triunphaI march to Rome
or NapOleOn's crossing the Alps or even
WashingtOn's crossing the Delaware
and perhaps FunstOn's swimming the
Bagbag were great military achieve
ments but they do not compare with
the wonderful exploit of the King of the
Franks An easy feat TO march 90
600 men up a hill and then march down
again? No. Far from it l know that
it is one of the most difficult feats of
modern military maneuvers.

Iusr1cE FoR DREYEus.

The Court of Cessation met yesterday
in Paris to hear argument on the ques-
ton of ordering a retrial Of Capt. Drey-
fus by courtmartial. There is no doubt
what the action Of the court VIII be. The
civil branch of the court has reported
TO the full court in favor Of a new trial.
and it is well known that there are mem
bers Of the criminal branch in favor Of
the same thing. That being the case ii
Is regarded as certain that the result of
the discussion will be favorable to Drey-
fus.
And a new trial means the acquittal of
Dreyfus. II is pretty well known what
sort of evidence there was before the
court which convicted him, and there was
nothing in it which justified his convic-
ton. The trial was a secret one. The
accused didn't know what the charges
against him were. He wasn't told what
they were. He didn't hear any of the testi-
mony. He wasn't even told what the tes-
timony was. His tria1 was the greatest
outrage that has been committed in a
civilized country, under the forms of law,
in a century.
When he is tried again he will be brought
face to face with his accusers and he
will have a chance TO refute whatever
testimony IS brought against him. And
his trial viii be a public one. The people
will be permitted to be present, and hence
1t will not be possible TO railroad him
to prison again by manufactured testi-
mony.
When the trial is over and the people
know the full truth there will be a day
of reckoning for those army officers guilty
of committing the crimes against Dreyfus
and against the whole people. The peo-
pie were slow to believe that high army
officers could be guilty Of so heinous an
offense as that charged against them by
Zola and others, and so they reviled lola
and drove him out of the country. But
lola viii come back in triumph and justice
will be done Dreyfus. It has taken the
French people a long time to make up
their minds to have the truth in this re-
markable case, but having made up their
minds they will not rest until every de-
tail of the conspiracy is made clear tc
the world.

PERSONAL.

"A Dickens of the third generation has
taken to woodworking. She is a daughter
of Charles the Second" as the eldest
son was playfully called by his friends.
Frank Vincent, the traveller and au-
thor, has just been informed by the French
ambassador at Washington that the
French government has bestowed upon
him the diploma and decoration of Officer
of the Academy, in token of appreciation
of his contributions to the literature of ex-
ploration and discovery.
Jason Webb of Cumberland, KY, is
the head of what he believes 20 be the
largest family in the world. He has nine
teen children, IT'S grandchildren and 100
great-grandchildren. His brother, Miles
Webb, who died at rs Jason is still flour
ishing at 3d. had had more than 400 de
scendants, of whom 255 were either grand
children or great-grandchildren. Other
members of the family have been almost
equally prolific, and, adding to direct de-
scendants other relations, the Webbs in
the district of Cumberland number Alto
gether about 1900 persons.
In connection with the death of the
Duke of Beaufort, it may be mentioned
that it is a curious custom in his family
to give each son of the house the name
of Henry as his first baptismal cesigna-
tion. OF course only one of them be-
comes known as Lord Henry, his younger
brothers being commonly called by their
second baptismal names 1t was the late

ATTITUDE OF THE CUBAN GEN.
ERALS,

The main reason, according to our dis
patches yesterday, why so few of the Gu
ban soldiers have appeared to receive their
share of the 5000 600 which our govern
ment is distributing among them is that
only a few Of them have heard that the
money is being paid out. No effort had
been made apparently by the Cuban gem
erals to inform them of the time when
the distribution of the money would be
begun.
If the suspicious of our officers are cor
rect the rolls furnished by the Cuban gen.
erals are full of fictitious names, and the
names of hundreds and perhaps of thou
sands of soldiers entitled to be on the
rolls are not there. Gen. Brooke
had great difficulty in getting the
rolls He waited weeks after he made a
request for them. What was the reason
for this delay? Was it because the work
OF classifying the rolls was not complete
when the request for them was first made?
1t is known that the Cuban generals
are bitterly hostile TO the 100000 scheme,
and it Is not improbable that they have
resorted to every means In their power
to defeat 1T. 1t is suspected that they want
to keep the army intact TO as great an ex-
tent as possible, so as to use it for con-
trolling the politics of the island after our
troops are withdrawn, and they are likely
to be more successful in keeping it TO-
gether if the soldiers are permitted to re-
tain their guns than If they give them up.
in accordance with the plan for the dis
tribution of the $S,OOO,OOO.
Another reason probably why they dom
want the soldiers to give up their guns,
is that there are not nearly so many SOL
diers entitled to share of the money
| perhaps not half so many-as the Cuban
| generals pretended there were. But what
ever the motive of the Cuban generals, il
is apparent that 1t is their purpose to give
our government all the trouble they can.
| when Congress decided that Spain must
leave Cuba it was thought that the Gu
bans would be so grateful to us for releas-
ing them from the yoke of Spain, that
there would be no difficulty in establish
ing a liberal and stable government in
the island. But it seems they are MOI
in the least grateful 70 u.s. On the con-
trary, they want us to get out of the ISL
and as quickly as possible, and intend tc
make us all the trouble they can If VIC
don't get out. After we have had a little
more experience with the Cubans we may
come TO the conclusion that we were al.
together too hasty in condemning wey.

An Anecdote of goldsmith.

Once there was in England poor wo-
man, who had often heard of the good
deeds of a certain DR.. Goldsmith, and
who felt emboldened to ask him to pre-
scribe for her sick husband WITHOUT an as
surance Of ever receiving any pay. He
has lost his appetite" she wrote to the
poet, land is in very sad state, and we
are very poor.
Goldsmith answered this letter in per-
son, and satisfied himself that the man
was really as i'll and destitute as his wife
had represented.
Il will send you some pills in an hour. -
remarked Goldsmith, as he took his de-
parture.
In short time the good poets man ser
want arrived at the invalid's house with a
small box which when opened was
found TO contain 10 guineas and a card
on. which these words were written: "To
be used as necessities require. Be pa
tent and. of good heart"
The author of '"rhe Deserted Village
was often in sad traits himself but suf-
ferings and privations seem TO have had
the effect of making his heart all the more
tender and compassionate.

The stairway of stars.


There's stairway all hidden, to our gaze
now forbidden
We mortals see little, you know;
And there's never a gap, but a star for
each step,
Up the way that good people must 60
There's never a stop till we reach the fair
top,
And tread on the surface of Mars;
And the dreams given birth dGNn here
on the earth.
Wen forget on the stairway of stars!
Then we are shriven-thats the meaning
of heaven
All the heaven We ever may claim;
To be sinless is all the best soul may call
Its glorious portion and name
And the joys that we treasured are small
to be measured,
For heaven gives only great pars
And no vain earthly thing the greatest
may bring
Up the bright stairway of stars!
But the journey seems long while we
tarry among
The magnets that hold us down here,
Yet in a twinkle of sight We'll make the
great flight
When we start up the wonderful stair;
And God will be glad that we labored
and had
Enough faith just to cover our scars,
For He knows that men all are weak and
may fall
Zen from the stairway of stars!

THE ARKANSAS AxrI-rRUsr LAW.

The Supreme Court Of Arkansas has
! upset the antitrust law which the legis-
lature OF that state passed few weeks
ago. and when mas attracted so much
attention throughout the entire country.
It is the law which furnished the model
for the antitrust law Of Texas.
One provision Of It provides that any
insurance company, whether its domicIe
Is in that state or another state or a for
eign country, which enters into a combina-
ton with other insurance companies for
the purpose OF fixing the prices Of insur-
ance shah. II 1t does business in Arkansas,
be liable 70 a fine of 5000 Immediately
after the enactment OF this law the AT
torney General brought suit against one of
the English companies for the 5000 fine
In fact, he brought many suits against
trusts OF all sorts-the oil trust, the sugar
trust and various other trusts Evidently
he thought he had struck bonanza.
The court held in the case of the fnsur-
ance company. that there was no doubt
of the authority of the legislature to pre-
scribe the terms on which the company
could do business in the state, and it was
practically admitted that the insurance
company had entered into a combination
TO fix the prices of Insurance, though not
in Che state of Arkansas. The court de-
cided that # was not the intention of the
legislature TO prevent the company from
doing business in the state unless It went
into a combination 10 fix prices for snsur-
ance in Arkansas. The legislature didn't
intend to rule the company out of Arkan-
sas because II entered into combination
in London 10 fix rates of insurance in
Canada.
In the opinion of the Attorney General
the decision practically nullihes the anti
trust law He is so convinced that the
law cannot be enforced as long as the
present Supreme Court holds the view
of the law it does that he has ordered all
Of the suits he began to be dismissed. He
says that ne is going to carry the matter
before the people. because he is certain
that the legislature meant just what he
said 1t meant when he brought his suits
for It's enforcement, and not what the Su-
preme Court says 1t meant.
Evidently there will be plenty of anti
trust talk in the next political campaign
in Arkansas. II the Attorney General is
wrong in the Interpretation he places upon
the law. the legislature clearly discrimi-
mated against the home companies. be-
cause, while the foreign companies can
combine and fix the prices of insurance
prices. although not made especially for
Arkansas, can be applied there-the local
companies cannot enter into such combi-
nations. On the other hand, as the court
pointed out, If the Interpretation of the
Attorney General is right, and all of the
foreign companies were driven out of the
state, there would be very little competi-
ton in the insurance business in Arkan-
sas, and the few local companies could,
without combining, put prices for insur-
ance as high as they pleased and the peo-
pie would have no means of protecting
themselves.

CANADA's TROUBLESOME CoNTEN.
TION.


Canada Is entirely willing to have the
Alaska boundary question submitted to
arbitration on condition that we agree be-
forehand that the boundary shall be so
adjusted that it viii give her what she
contends for. In other words she is will
ling to arbitrate provided she is assured
that she shall have what she wants. This
is a new sort of arbtration-a sort that
we will hardly accept.
The President is anxious to have the
Alaskan boundary matter settled, and
he has made great concessions in order
to reach a settlement of IL. England,
judging from what is appearing in her
newspapers, thinks that the offer which
the President has made is fair one, and
would be glad if Canada would accept it,
The President wants the Joint High Com
mission to go on with it's work, and hence
he proposed that the Alaskan boundary
dispute be withdrawn from the list of sub
jects to be passed upon by the commits
sion, and submitted for settlement 20 a
board of impartial arbitrator. England
regarded this proposition as a fair one.
but Canada objected to any arbitration
that wouldn't recognize in advance a
boundary that would give her what she
claims on the Pacific coast
Naturally the President won't agree 10
any such arbitration as that Unless Can
ada comes down off her high horse and
agrees to submit her claims to arbitration
in the Alaskan matter 1t is probable that
A. .,rttT
Joint High Commission. And if there
should be no arbitration of the Alaskan
boundary the chances are that we would
send troops to occupy the territory which
we claim. In that event we might have
trouble with Great Britain as we'll as
| Canada.
1t would not be difficult matter to bring
| Canada TO terms probably if we were dis
posed to proceed to extremes-that is, pro
vided Great Britain refused to support
| her contention. If we should begin com
mercial war on her the government at OF
/ tawa would soon be overwhelmed with pro-
tests against ats contention in the Alas
kan boundary matter, because there are
a hundred Canadians interested in com
merce with this country where there is
one interested in the Alaskan boundary.
What Great Britain ought 10 do is this
She ought to take the Alaskan boundary
dispute into her own hands and settle il
without unnecessary delay. She is much
more deeply interested in keeping on good
terms with this country than she is in
pleasing a few Canadians, who are inter-
ested in The seal fisheries. Both England
and the United States are contending for
the principle OF arbitration al the peace
conference, and the United States have
| expressed their willingness TO have the
Alaskan matter settled by arbitration. If
England is sincere she win insist that
Canada shall accept arbitration in the
boundary dispute or take the entire ques-
ton out of the control of her colony

According TO a writer in the New York
Press, Admiral Dewey Is a rich man.
Aside from his naval pay, it Is said, he
has an assured income of $4,000 year.
For long time he did not draw his sal
airy. In Washington he lived in fine style
at the Metropolitan Club. He does not
need home" says the Press writer; "he
is an old widower, and would not be at
home in a home" Meanwhile the collec-
ton of funds for the Dewey home" goes
on. 1t is a little surprising that some en-
terprising Hong Kong correspondent does
not secure an expression from enc adj

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem1 saws.
THE remarkable awakening of the pup-
lie mind upon the subject of municipal
corruption is clearly evidenced in the
number of articles which are appearing
in the current magazines upon municipal
government. There seems to be an organ
lied endeavor all along the line TO combat
the constituencies scramble of unworthy
men for office. Every city has organized
its good government crusade and the
work which these leagues perform must
not be lightly judged. The leagues have
swung elections in a number of cities. 1t
is high time, too, for the pendulum to
swing the other way. Municipal corrup-
ton endangers the life of the nation. 1t
is easy to see that a series of municipal
machines acting in unison could control
the politics of the state. The control of
the nation is but step beyond"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican Qnd)
says: 1T will hardly escape notice that
while the Democratic leaders in conference
at st, Louis are very insistent that the
free silver issue will not be set aside, they
one and all proceeded to set 1t aside when
they came to making public speeches. The
trust question was then uppermost-ln
Bryan's speech as we'll as In Belmonts
1t is unquestionably stirring the public
mind profoundly. The st. Louis confer
ence came to no definite conclusions, but
the public proceedings indicate that if the
national convention were TO be held at
once the trusts would form a first issue,
and imperialism and militarism would go
hand in hand with it. Silver would he
given a subordinate position"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem.) says:
Preparations are making TO send fresh
troops to the Philippines, as well as for
the withdrawal of the volunteers, who
have for so long borne the brunt OF the
lighting. II is said that the President now
realizes that the insurgents must be en-
tirely crushed out and thoroughly beaten;
hence there is no alternative but to wage
a relentless campaign against them until
they are compelled to lay down their arms
and sue for peace"
