perfecting the organization, and to al
range for a mass-meeting to complet

During the discussion Rev. W. v
Campbell said he came to the meetin
as a minister of the gospel, and not
a minister OF the law, and he did NJ
believe it was the province Of minii
ter to enforce the law. Il do verify b.
lieve that one Of the leading agenci'
in this city, in leading to the obser'
ance Of the Sabbath in an improp6
way, lies in our churches" he contir
lued. Christian people are not Pre-

q would teach and illustrate Il

would be no such breaking Of Il

graphs of the Steele. Henceforth no one
will believe in any photograph.
The process is perfectly well known. Peo-
pie whose figures resemble those of the
pretended personages are costumed, posed
and Photographed Then the faces are sub
stituted from genuine photographs, the pic
ture is touched up, rephotographed, and the
trick is done. What disting fishes the eX-
pioit of the Steele is the way in which peo-
pie of the highest position are handled. It
is not a question of caricature-you see the
people themselves, natural and uneXagger-
ated. Felix Faures daughter would not be
able to say that it was not her papa knecl-
ing before Nine "Gyp.' The German en-
peror could not decide upon the Uhlan uni
fern of the crapulous EsterhaZy. The
fir ends of the Ouch asse d'Uzes, to deny that
she had posed with Arthur Meyer, would
have TO fall back on moral proof" But
moral proof has been discredited already.
CrueIest of All.
They are all cruel, but the cruelest pho
tograph of the lot is that of NJ. Cavaignac
operating on the late Col Henry. 1t will
be remembered that NJ. Cavaignac was
minister of war when he made his great
speech that was forever to settle the guilt
of Dreyfus. He brought forward three
documents, in one of which Dreyfus was
named openly. Col. Picquart, who at once
wrote him offering to prove this paper a
forgery, was thrown into Jail, where he re-
himself was forced to admit the document
was false. His memorable interview with
Henry, the forger, is known to everybody
That Henry committed suicide by cutting
his throat is accepted by everybody. a
great deal has been said about leaving
razors lying around loose in the prison cells
of Mont-Valerien; but in this campaign one
must make allowances for poisonous in
situations. NJ. Cavaignac may be morally
responsible for the death of Henry; but to
photograph him as barber, with the razor
at the dead mans throat, is going too far.
Cavaignac is cold narrow-1ninded man,
who sticks to his side with determination.
His enemies say he would like to play the
part CT Boulanger. So would others, for
that matter.
No one imagines Felix Faure aspired to
be second Boulanger. To do him justice
he was level-headed French business man
when first made president. The visit of the
czar and his trip to st. Petersburg exalted
his ideas. His tastes became aristocratic
and he was accused of feebly leaning to the
side of the army. These social aspira tions
are a full explanation for the much dis
cussed intimacy of little Nine. 'Gyp'' at the
Elysee; and the Siecles photogra phic insin-
uation of tenderer tie is only another ex-
ample of the mud throwing of this cam
