victory, and still more wir 1t win before justice and righteousness shall take their last stand for wrongs final undoing.
 
 It IS not given to the blasphemous spirit and to injustice to dominate the earth. They shall not pass in our time. but they shall grow weaker and Haunt themselves less and ever less in the pres ence of charity and benevolenee and truth, and pure women and brave men. The man. nish woman and womanish man do not constitute society. The sexless novel Is not literature. There will be marrying and the giving in of marriage as long as the earth is peopled. Maidens pure of heart and thought and deed will continue to be led to the altar by true men, and neither will be capable of the thought that in the fixing of the sexes somebody bun dered." Good mothers and good fathers will make for the millennium as they have been making for it since 1t was spoken in the beginning that it is not good for man to be alone" society play may be poisonous, but it is not everybody who is interested in society plays Latter-day novels may be coarse and immoral, but everybody doesn't read them. One of Oui- da's women lay amongst her cushions be- fore the bright fire upon a stormy night and felt the slight stir of an impulse to bid her lover to come, but she fell asleep as innocenty as a little child. Lead us not into temptat tion," was even the Saviour's prayer, and all good men and all good women need to speak it every day, as they press forward in the way of the high calling of virtue and charity. So good morrow to you, beloved, and God keep ye!

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Mobile makes a good showing of business done in twelve months ended August S1, last. Her general commerce has greatly increased. Formerly cotton exports con- stituted the bulk of the exports, but lum- Der now figures largely in it's record. Six teen steamship lines now resort to Mo- bile. Exports last year were sS 1884, 96S, against s2S29,69O five years ago, and im- ports have doubled. Local industries are multiplying, houses are building, sewers and waterworks are under construction and the general note is one of progress. The acquisition by the great Southern railway of a line into Mobile promises a large increase of the freights seeking ex- portation, with corresponding growth of shipping interests. The bulk of the ex- ports goes to England, but there is trade with Cuba, Mexico and Central and South America.

Conviction of CaptaIn Dreyfus.

The Dreyfus trial is ended, and the yer dict of 1891 is repeated. But the punish- ment of 1891 and of the succeeding years at Devils Island will not be repeated. When the various appeals are taken and termi- mated. dismissal from the army-possbly banishment from France-win follow, and then perhaps the case will be dropped from the newspapers to be taken up by the his- torian who tells for all time the story of today. And thatshistoran will have at his disposal one of the most dramatic cases in the worlds hstory--not perhaps the most picturesque, but one of the most dramatic. A race issue has been on trial in the person of Captain Dreyfus and the league against him has been one of the most formidable and malicious ever formed
 The case has served to call attention to the civil law which is the basis of French jurisprudence. Instead of being framed to protect an innocent man against iegalized wrong. it is framed with a sole view of letting no guilty man escape The difrer- ence between the civil law and the blessed common law of the Anglo-Saxon world is thus very wide and very deep.
 But in truth no law absolutely controls any military court in France-pcrhap not in any other country. Captain Dreyfus was not tried on evidence bIt on mems opin- ions. What this or tha: officer thought about the case, was in substance the evil apt to be the controlling influence in any court made up as the Rennes court vas Public opinion in the army stands arrayed almost solidly against Captain Dreyfus, and we need not look any farther than this public opinion for the reason of his con- viction in 1891 and in 1899. "Either he is guilty or am." said General Mercier, and the general staff would In Q sense have been condemned if Dreyfus had been ac- quilted. The army in an army court has won out. and a different result could net req sonably have been expected. Junior officers listened to the opinions of senior officers. thus having their own prejudiees confirmed, and conviction by the court naturally followed. Conviction by the world at large is a wholly different mat ter. In the wider and unpreiudlced court Dreyfus stands acquitted. and in the long vun hls rnnocezse Of treason vii! become

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Joint Inquiry at Capetown.

The long and short of it is. President Kruger has drawn in his stubborn Dutch horns just in time to escape collision, with the most powerful government in this world for distant offensive operations. His little republic canot muster over 25,o0o men, and to bring upon this band. no mat ter how brave, the weight of the British empire would be foolhardiness. It would almost be like fighting the whole world for Queen Victoria's government could hurl against the little patch of African ter ritory an untold number of troops from India, from Australia and the South Seas, dies, as we'll as from the motherland. So 1t happens that the Boers have stopped just short of war What was thought to be merely plays for time has proven to be negotiations for better terms. and all of these questions have finally been referred 10 a conference that is to be held at Cape town. It Is understood that Kruger him. self, the most picturesque figure in high oiHce, Will attend the conference.
 The attempt to define the scope of the Capetown conference is wholly super fiuous. The conference will go over the entire ground and it is both easy and pru- dent to say that a middle ground will be found. But none will be found unless the Transvaal is willing to give the Outlanders "enjoyment of all civil rights and protec- words quoted are taken from the eonven- ton of 1881. MT. Kruger negotiated the later convention of 1884, in which the words quoted were repeated, and he then said: "All strangers have now, and will always have. equal rights and privileges to the burghers of the Transvaal." Mir. Kruger's promise has not been kept even remotely The Outlanders have no political rights no right to say to what purposes the taxes they pay shall be put, and they pay nine tenths of all the Transvaal taxes.
 President Kruger and his volksraad must do justice, even if the burghers cease to control the Transvaal, and in the end he will find there is no other way out of the trouble. It is justice or fight. Either way is not pleasant or promising to the Dutch of the Transvaal, but the Dutch have al- ways known the inevitable when they have met it squarely in the road

PAUL KRUEGEK

Edward Sydney Tyler in the Spectator. Deep monrnful eyes that seek the ground
 The devious path to trace;
 The giant form of Lincoln, crowned
 By Cromwelps g.osser face;
 Coarse rustic garb of uncouth cut,
 That masks each mighty limb Its shapeless folds the ready butt
 Of Enropes testers trim. ..t So much the crowd can See; the rest
 Asks critics ceare: eyed
 So rough a scabbard leaves unguessed
 How keen the blade inside; s The trenchant will, the subtle brain
 So strangely doomed to wage With Destiny's still climbing main
 The hopeless war of Age.
 His kindred rugged brood
 That nurse a dying fire;
 The sons of Calvin's bitter mood,
 And sterner than tte'r sire. By faith through trackless deserts steered
 Lost miIeS iincly Send
 Far from the intruding world they feared
 They found their Promised Land. - By such grim guardians uttered well
 His Spartan childhood grew. The wind-t trail of the fleet gazclle,
 The lions path he knew,
 The camp surprised at dawn. the rush
 Of feet, the cracking smoke
 When on the sleeping ls aser's hush
 The sudden Kaffir broke.
 Nay, once, 'tis said whel. Ndal in flood Had barred the hunters way, And mid Its swollen current stood
 A wounded buck at bay; While some betore the pi ute drew back, And some before the wave; Stridins the torrents foaming track The mercy stroke he gave.

-------------- HEK FRANK CONFESSION
From the Detroit Free Press.

' IDIIt IIIt DtlIUIL r Itt F0IeSS. Some people are nothing if not outspoken and frank. Not long ago a wel-known young society lady was talking to a soci- ety man, and the two got into an argu- ment about the amount of physical exer- else each required.
 'Why in the world don't you take more eXercise?" said he. ''I never see you walk ing. You're forever riding on the car. No matter if you have only three blocks to go, you never seem to want to do anything but jump on car, even if it takes you longer to wait for it than it would to walk the whole distance"
 Well, I'll just have you know that if you wore shoes two sizes too small for you you'd want to ride, too."

From the Chicago Times-Hera!d.
 "No,' said the convicted saloo,keeper "I won't have you to desend another case for me-"
 But" his lawyer protested, you know you were guilty, and you know. too, that the evidence against you was overwhelm- ing"
 "Oh, I don't deny that, but after having the case postponed four times you run out of excuses. A lawyer what ain't got more resources than that can't git fees from me-"

Cotton Mills Coming South.

The Boston Post congra tulates it's New | England readers upon the fact that the organization of the textile workers in the south is progressing with the aid and d- rection of the national associations, and that this organiza ton, when perfected, will be followed by demands for wages a few points nearer the scale which is recog- nized in northern mills It sees signs all ready in Georgia of desire for an in- crease in wages. The operatives are mov- ing and the Post comforts itself with the belief that wages will soon be at parity in the mills of the two sections. The cotton industry will thus be retained in New England, and no more cruel cuts in wages will be made there.
 This is all very pleasant from a New En- gland point of view but the Philadelphia Record does not consider the cotton mill ing industry securely moored in New En- gland. It sees mill after mill stealing away to the south. The Sprngvale, Maine, mill has made arrangements to remove it's plant to Fort Valley, Georgia. following in that respect the South Berwick mill of the same Maine county. Mention is made too, of the purchase by New England cap- italists of land and water power at Lock No. 3, St Clair county, in this state, and the Record states thas the managers of five northern mills have agreed to inspect Huntsville with the view of moving their plants to that enterprisng town.
 The Record, after reviewing the situation concludes that the strong mills will either be compelled to sell to a trust or else they will have to make the finer goods that are now imported from Europe The weaker northern mills will be very ready to accept inducements from this section of the country--inducements in the shape of remission of taxes for a term of years, grants of land, free water rights, and the like. The Springvale mills that are to be removed to Fort Valley, Georgia, are a type of this class. These mills now operate 300 looms and ,0.50O spindles, and the stock holders arc glad to secure Georgia condi- tions and freedom from taxes\ in lieu of the competition and high taxation in Maine. There are many other mills like those of SpringVale, and it is these that the towns of the south will be apt to att tract in the present phase of the south- ward trend of the cotton industry.
