CAPT. DREyFUs was entirely ignor-
ant of the fact that the old chiefs of
the army, whom he so admired, vene-
rated and loved, were the very ones
who sent him to exile when he arrived
in France, and the disclosure shocked
him greatly. He was totally ignorant
of what had been going on the world
since he had lett it, and the many
happenings of the past five years were
a great surprise to him. He did not
even know that the interest and SYM
pathy of the whole world had been
aroused for him, and could not under
stand how the people of America knew
anything about him. He has simply
been dead to the world since the day
he was taken to Devils Isle.

NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
The United Christians of Iowa Meet
Organize, Frame Platform and
Nominate Officers.

A small body of men smet in Des
Moines las. week to launch into exis-
tence new political party. They
have named it the United Christian
Party and their motto is "What
Would Jesus Do" Arrangements are
being made to make it national
party and national convention will
be called. The following named
gentlemen were nominated as candi-
dates for state offices:
For governor, C. C. Heacock of Brighton.
For lieutenant governor, j. X. Leonard OF
Ainsworth.
! For Judge OF the supreme coprt. Jahs NJ.
Heimick of Davenport.
For superintendent of public instruction,
w. G. Pidgeon, OF hichland. ,o
Hedrick.
And the platform they have adopted
is given below:
We, the United Christian party. in sta,e
convention assembled at Des Moines, Iowa,
July and 8, 1899, acknowledge Almighty
God, as the rightful sovereign of all men and
women, and the Lord Jesus Christ as the
ruler among nations of the earth, and that he
is entitled to all the honor and glory and to
whose laws all human enactments must con-
form to secure the blessings of peace and
prosperity, do present the following declara-
tion of principles:
That we as party favor whatever tends TO
make men and women virtuous intelligent
and happy, and acknowledge that God gave
us in his word the foundation for law and a
standard for justice through Christ, for the
government of all mankind.
We hold that all temporal governments
derive their just powers from God, through
Christ, and by the consent of the governed.
We recognize the fact that there are many
important reforms needed, and that none of
these can be accomplished until we acknow-
ledge Christ and unite in his name-not a
union of church and state-but a union of all
Christian voters at the ballot-box for the
galized wrong.
Therefore, we, the United Christian party
seeking the welfare OF all the people pledge
system of government that will make re-
forms possible.
Believing that II will be impossible to secure
direct legislation without q union OF all
Christians we ask all His followers, regard
less Of nationality, creed or color, sect or pre-
vious politics, to cooperate with us at the
ballot-box in making this government
which shall be in fact a government from
God.
We, therefore, declare for the adoption of
the system of direct legislation known as the
proportionate representation and the sim
perative mandate" that the power of the peo-
pie may be justly and effectually exercised;
being governed in all things, law-making in
cluded, by the standard, "What Would Jesus
Do?n
