Few York
= New York speeia. TO The Baltimore
Sun says:
Justice Wilmot NJ. Smith, n the
Queens county supreme court, has de-
MED the application OF a negro woman
named Cisco, for a writ Of peremptory
mandamus to compel the school board
Of Queens to admit all children, ire
spective Of color, to the public schools
OF that borough.
She testified that she attempted to
send her children, who are negroes, to
the Brenton Avenue school, in Jamai-
ca, but they had been denied admit
lance by the principal, who ordered her
TO take the children TO the separate
school for colored children. In addition
the woman swore that she had made
other similar attempts at other public
schools with the same result The wo-
man claimed that the studies in the
colored school was not far enough ad-
vanced for her children. She vas twice
arrested for violation Of the school law
for not sending her children to school,
and each time was acquitted. Judge
Smith in his decision says:
"The court OF appeals decided that
under the provisions of the common
school act Of 1864, authorizing the es-
tablishment Of separate schools for the
education of the colored race, the school
authorities have the power, when, in
their opinion, the interests of educa-
ton will be prompted thereby, to es-
tablish schools for the exclusive use
of colored children, and when such
schools are established and provided
with equal facilities for education, to
exclude colored children from the
schools provided for White children.
'There is no claim upon the part OF
the relator that the statute had ever
been expressly repealed. The claim
that the statute has been repealed by
implication cannot be seriously enter
tanned. The motion is denied without
costs"

Storing Cotton in The south

Major Hanson's paper read before the
State Agricultural Society in Quitman
on Wednesday in regard to storing cot
ton in the south is worthy of serious
consideration. We are not advised as
to the details of the plan, if one has
been formulated, but the general prop
Osition seems striking and forceful. For
instance, he says:
"The large increase in southern con-
sumption Of cotton makes an all-the-
year demand for cotton in the south.
Cotton stored here can be shipped di-
rect from point of production to point
where cotton is consumed, whether in
the south or New England or abroad,
which makes the south The natural
point where the worlds reserve stock
of cotton should be stored. These con
s~iderations have presented themselves
to the minds of cotton merchants and
spinners for years, but so far seem not
to have impressed the producers of cot
ton."-Macon Telegraph.

The Humiliation of France

It is pleasant and reaSsuring to hear
that various military attaches of for
eignt embassies and legations present at
Paris five years ago have in contem-
plation a public statement touching the
Infamous and damnable tragedy now
enacting at Rennes under the name OF
the Dreyfus case. 1t u be easy Tor
any gentleman with the smallest sense
of honor and humanity to step in at
such a moment as this and do OF say
what he can to put a stop to the ruin
and the shame of France. He must be
a callous n brutal person indeed who,
having any knowledge in the premises,
refuses to impart it for the sake OF
truth and justice and civilization.
The good work has already begun in
Italy-a land in which chivalry still
survives-and now we hear that it is to
be k up in Austria by Colonel
Schneider, the attache whose alleged let
ter forged, of course), has been used
so freely to the injury of Dreyfus. It
is said, indeed, that Schneider has set
out for Paris to proceed legally against
the scOundrels who, by forging his
name, nave identified him with their
abominable crimes. Let us hope that
he will be successful and that, through
his efforts, the facts may be ELECTED.
There seems to be a doubt a. to the
result at Rennes Americans and Eng
lishmen cannot understand a so-called
judicial system under which wit
nesses' who have no facts to bring for
ward are permitted to indulge in vio-
lent harangues and ostentatious special
| pleading. Such violations Of justice
| would not be permitted in the most ig-
norant petty court in our provinces. A
verdict based thereO nWould be resent
| ed by every decent and responsible cit
iZen. France may "a that her methods
| are her own, and intimate with charac-
| t~eriStic sarcasm that she alone is re-
| sponsible in the premises. But France
| cannot, without peril to herself, assume
| an attitude SO insolent. Indeed, among
the great powers Of Christendom,
| France is least of all in a position to
defy outside sympathy and opinion. I'm
! less she be crazed by excitement and
i~nfatuation, she will welcome the over
l lures of Colonel Schneider, and make
| every possible sacrifice in order to pun
ish the guilty and exonerate the inno-
| cent.
AS a matter of fact, France is feebler
I today than she was when the really
| great Emperor William ithdrew his
| forces from the wallis of Paris and Bis
marck moved his office from Fontaine-
| bleau to Berlin. If France %connives at
the infamies of Billot, MERCER, Roget
| and Gonse she will stain her honor in
| the eyes of the outside world. Schnei-
der, Panizzardi, Won acknowledgement
| in other words, Berlin, Vienna and
/ Rome-can save this mad and blinded
| people from destruction, for they know
and can with authority proclaim the
truth. Italy and Austria seem dispos-
! thank and honor them. Germany
we'll, we must wait for Germany. Per-
haps she keeps all her charity and
chivalry at home.-Washington Post.

The o. R, s y. Company will make
nothing and. If the 4. & c. r. r. con-
tinues the even tenor Of its ways, the
city Of Astoria is not likely to lose much
by the rate war President Mohler hopes
TO inaugurate in aid Of Porland's needy
merchants and to crafty his spleen over
his loss OF business at this point. The
fare between Astoria and Portland on
.he railroad Is already too low for the
good Of either Astoria or the road. Let
the o. R. & y. Company carry people on
its steamers for nothing. II It sees dt.
the larger proportion OF travel will con-
tinue TO go by train. No one who has
any real business in Portland will en-
dure the uncertainty and delay Of reach
ing that city by boat so long as the rail-
road carries passengers at the pres
ent reasonable figures. The cut an
nounced by the o. r. & y. is in entire
keeping with the fatuous policy which,
for some unknown reason. that company
has pursued with the a. * c. road ever
since its operation was commenced. The
refusal TO extend common point rates.
o. exchange traffic with the A. & C. on
any basis whatever. has been one Of the
curiositles in o. r. & y. management
rhat has puzzled Pacific coast railroad
men more than any other for long time.
Whether Mr. Mohler has lost his rea-
son. or is in receipt OF a salary from
Portland is a question about which no.
body seems clear. His present cut-rate
is not the beginning Of his war on AS
toria; It Is merely another incident in the

relentless fight he has long waged
against the prosperity OF this city. The
time IS rapidly approaching. however.
when this spirit OF blind uralignancy will
have to be explained to the stockholders
and other principals whose interest and
investments he has thus irreparably
damaged. Blu, in whatever way he may
hope TO pacify the righteous wrath OF
the men who ostensibly hire him when
the fact OF his egreglous mismanaga-
ment becomes known, It will be a long
time before the people OF Astoria forget
or can hope to recover from the injury
they have suffered at his hands.

For a city whose income from legiu-
mate sources-the licenses and taxes on
real and personal property ordinarily
levied and from which other municipal
tiles are entirely supported-is not suf-

indebtedness, 10 entertain a proposition
to SO into the electric lighting business

be laughed at in any other community
but Astoria. Bonds might be sold to
provide the funds for such an undertake

offered in eastern financial circles and
find no takers II the members OF the
city council who are urging this move
ment will take the pains to Investigate
the subject they will be convinced that
the last thing Astoria wants to do under
present circumstances is to enter into
any project which may tend to increase
the burdens Of its taxpayers-and least
of all to engage in electric light opera
tions. These men need go no further
from home than Portland to learn the
Disadvantages of an electric lighting de-
partment, Portland was one Of the first
cities on the coast to put in an electric
light plant, and great claims were made
of the saving to taxpayers which would
be effected. Its history is familiar

ence OF other cities that undertook that
business Today Portland Is glad to con-
tract with private company to do her
