every prominent official in France be-
lieved in the guilt of The captain up to
the latter part of 1896, and that none
may complain of his treatment prior to
1897 for that reason. The other is that
since 1896 fears were entertained that
an attempt would be made by the
Americans to rescue him. An Ameri-
can vessel passed the island one day
and preparations were made to shoot
ing near. 1t is hard 10 believe that
any man in France or in her colonies
was idiotic enough to think that this
country would commit an act of war
without a declaration of purpose. or
that any French official is so mentally
and morally deformed that he would
justify torture and Insult TO a helpless
prisoner as guard against his rescue
by disinterested government. As one
correspondent views it, the explanations
of the minister, the officers and the
jailers amounts to this: Nearly every
one thought him guilty, so we shut him
in a close, hot room. with bright
light all night and swarms of venom
Gus insects. We thought the Ameri
cans were coming to rescue him, so We
fed him on offal. We feared his pun
ishment was not severe enough, he be-
ing a Jew, so we slandered his wife
and forged letters from her, saying
that she had fallen in love with an
other man, and had borne n child two

did not kill him, and therefore our i'll
treatment was not as bad as it might
have BEEN
There is an easy and natural eXpla-
nation for this infamous conduct. Had
Dreyfus been guilty to the absolute
ture would not have been applied. The
very fact that he was innocent and
known to be so, and had been con-
demned as the result of a villainous
made his death desirable.
The plotters couldn't ask the jailers to
commit murder. The guilty secret would
leak out some time or other. But they
could encourage and command his tor
ture. by which it was doubtless hoped
he would be driven to madness or to
death.
The light is beginning TO shine in the
dark places of France. The rabble
signs and honest men of prominence
shed tears at the tale of suffering. The
press .denounces acts of savagery. and
the court is disposed to adopt a kind
lier tone. The prospect brightens.

RACE WARS NORTH AND SOUTH.

Every morning the press dispatches
tell of some fresh outbreak of race
troubles in the south. and every mail
brings batch OF reproof from min
listers and politicians of the north and
east.
Yet there have been negro lvnchings
in New York, Ohio. Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas and many other abolition
states. If lynchings are more frequent
in the south it is because negroes are
more plentiful. Those who deplore this
lawless and summary method of deal
ing with criminals, live in communities
that seem ready to adopt it upon COM
paratively small provocation.
Negroes are shot in the gulf states
for various offences but never for
hunting work. When they go to Illinois,
to Kansas or to Oklahoma TO work in
the coal mines they are almost certain
to be mobbed. Many negroes have
been killed in this way in the. states
named during the past twelve months.
And the governors invariably refuse to
interfere in time to protect them.
are perfectly willing for the negro to
remain in the south. Every one who
seeks employment in eastern cities,
outside Of the barbering or whitewash
ing trades, is supposed to crowd
white man out of business and he is
dealt with accordingly. This is men,
toned for the purpose of showing that
IL &c Of rtz
or of section. but is as apt to present
its complications in the north where
ever the interests of the races conflict,
as it is in the south where numerically
they are treading on each others toes.
Truly the negro has hard time of it.
He is mobbed in the south for being
idle and shiftless, conditions which be-
get crime; and in the north he is
mobbed for hunting employment.

NEARING HOME.

Our heroes are nearing home. No
one may describe their emotions as
mile on mile is severed from the dis
tance that lies between them and those
they love. JOY flls their hearts; tears
fiji their eyes. a flood of tender recol-
lections sweep over them. They recall
the bright days of old together, and
think of the dark days of war that in
teryene. They hear the gentle voice OF
wife or mother, and from this happy
dream the hOarse alarum of war
awakes them. They see again the
rented field, the treacherous jungle, the
corpse-strewn plain. They hear the
sharp command, the moan of pain. the
sounds of war. the booming of the sea.
the cheers of the multitudes that greet
them.
This homecoming seems too good to
be true. The boys are anxious. They
try TO conceal it. They jest with each
other on the train. But they are max
ing a sorry effort to hide one side of
their natures. 1t is a side that is not
meant for public inspection. They are
so stalwart, rugged and experienced,
are these veterans of two wars, these
boys, our boys. They fain would stihe
the signs, keep back the tears and bid
their hearts lie still, for fear that a
weakness might make its presence
known.
But it is a weakness that goes hand
in hand with true manhood. The cour-
age that knows its purpose and senses
its responsibility could not exist with
out this very weakness. 1t is q weak
ness that nurtures strength. And this
inner self is creeping nearer and nearer
to the surface as the boys are nearing
home. 1t will look through tears at
old, familiar scenes. 1t will tremble at
the touch of friendly hands. 1t will put
a culver in the voice that tries TO re-
peat the old endearing terms.
And the mothers and wives and
sweetnearts and sisters who await
theml What must be the feelings with
which they struggle? There is hope,
love, anxiety and apprehension in every
breath. they draw. The last words
echo in their minds, the memory of the
last kiss fingers on their lips. They,
too, We're brave. 1neY gave their loved
ones to their country, and felt their
wounds and hardships all.

And made its final lodSment there.

HlDEOUS REVELATIONS.

It was a horrible tale of human suf-
fering. the story of the devils work on
Devils isle told in the Dreyfus trial and
repeated to indignant humanity in yes
terday's newspapers. No wonder the
audience wept and the officers of the
court turned to give the prisoner
looks of unconceaIed compassion
II is the shame Of France that such
things are possible in this age of en-
lightenment. Il the honor of the army
and the glory Of the republic are to be
preserved at any cost TO individuals the
ministers and officers VINO give orders
like those given TO the jailers of this
victim OF confessed conspiracy should
BE prosecuted with a vigor that Will
discourage any attempt to repeat the
infamy. 1t is a hideous state of affairs
revealed. 1t smacks OF the spirit behind
the Spanish inquisition. It was more
barbarous than anything we found in
the dungeons Of Havana to enlist our
national sympathies. 1t smells of the
smoke of St Bartholomew. 1t is a
trace Of tribal savagery that France
should have outgrown in thirteen CEN
turtles.
1t has been revealed, with circurn-
stance and detail, admitted by the
minister Of the colonies. and corrobo-
rated by the jailers themselves that the
missioner was deliberately and continu-
ouslv. FOR four years, subjected to

able moral outrages We're a part of the
punishment inflicted upon him by the
order of Lebon, the minister of the
colonies. who sat in the witness stand
during the recital and, shamelessly
smiling. even gleefully acknowledged
that he had authorized the torture. and
that his conscience was tranquil while
his soul gloated over it.
But had Lebon no precedent in his
treatment of Dreyfus? 1t has never

HEROES. OUR NEIGFBORS.

In our preparations TO welcome the

General King pointed as they charged

knew not halt. They saw the enemy
and they wanted to get at him In
vain did the general try to check their
furious onslaught. because he felt that
they had done enough for one day. De-

said: There goes the American SOL

1t is not generally known that Provo

WHY HOOlEY FAILED.

Hooley. the title broker, the social
and financial promoter, to whom the
ambitious youth of England once looked
up to as a model of success and a ben
efactor of all deserving aspirants to
rank and fortune. is gone.
His financial failure. the bursting of
his bubbles, his loss of patronage at the
height of popularity. although among
his customers were numbered the most
distinguished Adventures of Europe,
was hard to understand. Ruin over
took him when the future wore its most
alluring habit, when great people were
patting him on the back. when admir-
ing reporters were Fostering him for
interviews and charity solicitors were
praising his generosity.
Has it been explained? Was he try
ing to compete with that royal trust,
the Prince Of Wales? There is no one
more capable of giving poor, but am
bilious, social climbers A lift. There is
no one better situated for placing the
fortunes of others within the reach of
attractive girls or middle-aged ac-
tresses. The doors of aristocratic Eu-
rope swing open 10 the prince Mothers
are glad 10 heed his counsel. Fathers
hesitate to oppose his wishes. Love
making and matchmaking have ever
been the best known prerogatives of the
royal head OF Wales.

There is something gross in Balzac's
genius: he has little wit. little delicacy
no sense of measure. no fine self-criti-
cism. no lightness of touch, small in
sight into the life of refined society
an imperfect sense of natural beauty,
a readiness TO accept vulgar marvels as
the equivalent of spiritual mysteries;
he is monarchial without the sentiment
of chivalric loyalty: Catholic without
the sentiment of religion: he piles sem
tence on sentence. hard and heavy as
the accumulated stonss of cairn. Did
he love his art for its own sake? IT
must have been so; but he esteemed it
also as an implement of power, as the
means of pushing toward fame and
grasping gold-Dowden.
