The process by which Gen. MERCER.
former minister of war of France arrived
with unfailing accuracy at the conclusion
that Dreyfus was guilty, without the per
adventure of a doubt, was simplicity itself.
and should commend itself 10 all other
persons who in future may be placed in
position similar to the one which he
occupied. AS Gen. MERCER himself ex-
planned the other day. the way he did it
was this: He took first the names of all
the officers who would likely be in posses
sion Of the secret information supposed to
have been given or sold 20 a foreign power.
Running down this list he discarded the
name, of every man whom he knew would
not commit treason. This reduced the list
one-half. Then going over it the second
time he discarded the names of every man
he believed to be incapable of treason. This
reduced the list to three names. Then he
discarded the names of all concerning
whom there was reasonable doubt in his
mind, and that reduced the list to one
name, that of Dreyfus; therefore he was
perfectly sure that Dreyfus was guilty.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Recurring to the question, who shall
haul the flag DOWN." the Pittsburg Dis
patch (Rep) says, it would seem to be
the better policy and more honorable
course for the American government to
DO il. 1t may be remembered that Spain
plunged into a hopeless and disastrous war
last spring rather than haul down its
unwelcome flag in Cuba. at the reques
of the United States. 1t might have hon
orably and advantageously removed the
rag as soon as it discovered how unwel-
come it was TO the people of the island
and before an irrepressible conflict melted
the neighboring Power, the United States
TO prefer the request. The lesson is not
difficult of application to the Philippines
where the natives protest against foreign
control and where they are likely to har-
row our national soul with an ever recur-
ring resistance that will lay waste their
domain.
The shipping subsidy bill introduced by
senator Hanna is being strongly attacked
BY the press of the country. The Mobile
Register which is in line with other DEM
ocrauc papers, says: Shall the American
people, besides being taxed to give boun-
ties TO stee4-producers who need no boun-
ty. be levied upon TO increase the gains of
ship-builders who have a clear field of
profit already before them? Protection
itself is bad enough, but TO add a subsidy
system would double the evil"

The New York authorities appear to
be having more trouble in finding out who
sent the poison with which Mrs. Adams
was killed through the mail to Harry Cor
nish than the Delaware authorities had
in discovering that the poison which killed
Mrs. Dunning came from Mrs. Botkn in
California. SO far, ii seems, there is not
unanimity of opinion respecting the poi
son employed. Some OF the experts think
it was cyanide of potash. while others say
it was cyanide of mercury, if possible d
more deadly drug than the potash. At all
events, poisons and the science of poison
ing are now among the chief topics of
conversation and newspaper writing in
Gotham. BY carefully reading all of the
expert statements and opinions that are
going into print, wouTd-be poisoEers may
be able to make very neat and successful
jobs of even their first attempts.
