HONOR TO LABOR.

1t is not often that in such II ia
nous case as that now being vcntilat-
ed in Renne5, France, one of the
counsel, by right of logic a subsidiary
figure, should eventually usurp nearly
all the attention Of the public, or at
least divert it from the defendant
Dreyfus.
Such is the truth, however. When
the court martial convened and dur
inc its first session. the unfortunate
prisoner was the recipient of most of
the tender caresseS and generous
plaudits of the attending press repre-
sentatives. Dreyfus was represented
in this attitude and that, and his
every motion was reported a minutely
as though life and death hung on the
issue. But when news of the at
tempted assassination Of Labor was
flashed around the world. matters as
sumcd almost Il new phase. TO be
sure, the routine proceedings Of the
trial were still reported as usual, but
the world watched with anxious eyes
the bed of the brilliant advocate
The climax in this most peculiar
revolution was reached when he re-
turned to the courtroom-a haggard,
but heroic figure. His fierce assaults
on the thick-conscienced prosecutors
Of the down troddcn Hebrew, the
almost miraculous method in which
he probed into and exposed palpable
frauds. and his answering loyalty to
his client, made him the leading and
most intensely interesting figure in
the entire affair. His fearless. con-
duet of the case daily endangers his
life, but this does not affect his
carnestness and his methods. He
has made himself an international
reputation, and his name will always
he recalled when men shall speak of
faithfulness.
When the final history of the Drey-
fus case shall have been written. the
need of praise and gratitude due to
this remarkable man will be paid.
Lovers of Justice in every country
under the sun owe him an unnamed
and inestimable debt, and if the
poverty of the Drcyfus clique pre-
vents a substantial recognition of the
value of his services, he will nj least
experience the satisfaction which
comes from a stupendous duty, well
donc-accomplished. in fact, as few
men with human attachments could
have comprised such an important

SETTIONALISM GONE TO SEED.

The National Union Veterans
Union CT Iowa is evidently a sweet
scented communion. 1t is passing
of that State, for having appointed
General Rush Lincoln Brigadicr-
General in the Spanish war And
General Lincoln-what do you sup
pose ails him? What is the matter
with him? Simply that he was a
Confederate soldier, though for a
number of years Il citizen of Iowa.
Governor Shaw gives as his reason
for the appointment that General
Lincoln is the best qualified military
| man in the State and we do not
understand that this claim is chal-
lenged, but the appointec was Con-
fedcrate soldier and this is sufficient
to place him under the ban of the
National Union Veterans Union of
Iowa. This aggregation has evident
" overlooked the fact that President
Mckinley appointed Lee, Wheeler,
Butler, Rosser and other Confederate
Generals to positions of distinction
in the American army when war was
declared against Spain, but perhaps
this fact will dawn on them in the
course of time and then resolutions
of condemnation Of the President
may be expected.

its hands up to the arm-pits in the

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE
WITNESS.

In an article on the Southern
Prison Lease System. in an issue Of
July IS, Mr.. j. Anderson said that
negro boys are arrested for the crime
of ''shooting craps" and sent to the
prison camps to act as chore-boys till
sixteen years of age, and then put 10
mems work, and that ''tcn wears is
said to be the average time for crap
plaving." The statement is denied,
for Georgia, by Charles r. Haskins.
who tells us that under the laws of
that State one year is the longest
possible sentence for the offense, and
that it is generally but thirty days.
We shall be glad to hear dcnials from
other States.-1He Independent.
The circulation of The independent
among the white people of the South
is limited. Probably there will be no
''denials' from ''other States" partly
because of blissful ignorance of what
The independent or its correspondents
say and partly because Southern people
have such contempt for these absurd
stories that they are Indifferent to
the harm they may do. Because
there are no denials The Independent

This Department desires to call
your attention to the provisions of
IAN Act to Provide for the Investiga-
ton of Incendiary Fires" Chapter SO,
Laws of 1899.
Under this act it is made the duty
of the Insurance Commissioner to eX-
anime, or cause examination to be
made, into the cause, circumstances
and origin Of all fires within the
State, whenever in his judgment the
evidence is sufficient, as we'll as to
supervise and direct such investiga-
tions made by other officers charged
with this duty, whenever he deems it
eXpedient or necessary. And the
Commissioner desires by this circu-
lar letter to call the attention of the
officers and citizens of the State, as
well as others interested, to this law,
and ask of them their hearty CO.
operation and best aid in CARRYING
out its provisions. The proper en-
forcement of this law will secure the
punishment of careless and willful
destroyers of property in the State,
which will result in not only greater
security for the lives and property of
of citizens, but safer insurance pro-
lection at better rates.
While it is the duty of the officers
of the State, and of every good
citizen, to look after the crime of
arson, it is by the law made specially
the duty Of the Chief of the Fire De-
partment or Fire Committee Of the
Board of aldermen in every city and
town in North Carolina to investigate
the cause, origin and circumstances
of every fire occurring in such cities
and towns, and to report the result
of their Investigations to the Insur-
ance Commissioner at Raleigh, And
under section 5, any city or town
officer, above referred to, who neg
lects orrefuses to comply with any
of the requirements of this law is
liable to fine of not exceeding two
hundred dollars.
Again, it is made the duty of these
officers to inspect all buildings under
their jurisdiction and to order the
removal of combustible material or
intlammable conditions dangerous to
the safety of such buildings OF
premises and their surroundings.
The mayor or other officers of our
cities and towns can do no greater
work for the business interests of
their communities than proper en-
forcement of this law, and in calling
their attention to it the Insurance
Commissioner feels that he will have
their earnest and persistent co-opera-
ton, and begs to assure them that
he will spare 10 effort to aid them at
all times in any way in enforcing this
law for the good of the State.
Bead the law carefully. and if anv
further information or blanks are

so well equipped in mind and tenn

little verse of late. His volume
Whispering Pines" and occasional
poems since possess qualities which
lift them from the ocean of mere verse
into the empyrean of true poetry.
The humble cottage in which Poe
the greatest poetic genius that the
Western world has ever seen-spent
the most eventful part of his fate
cursed life, might well inspire such
masterful verse. 1t has been said
that the only two products of Ameri-

Here lived the soul enchanted
By melody of song;
Here dwelt the spirit haunted
BY demOniac thrOng:
Here sang the lips elated,
Here grief and death were stated
Here loved and here minated
Was he SO trail, SO strong
Here wintry winds and cherries
The dying freight blew.
While lie whose song was peerless
Dreamed the drear midnight through,
And from dull embers chilling
Crept shadows darkly filling
The silent place, and thrilling
His fancy as they grew.
Here with brow barred to heaven,
In starry night he stood
With the lost star of seven
Feeling sad brotherhood
Here in the sobbing showers
OF dark autumnal hours
He heard suspected powers
Shrek through the stormy wood
From visions of Apollo
And of Astarte'S bliss,
He gaZed into the hollow
And hopeless vale of Dis;
And though earth was surrounded
By heaven it still was mounded
With graves. His soul had sounded
The dolorous abyss.
Proud mad. but not defiant
He touched at heaven and hell
Fate found rare soul plant
And rung her changes we'll
Alternately his Tyre,
Stranded with strings of fire,
Led earth's most happy choir
Or flashed with ISRAELI.
No singer of old story
Luting accustomed lays
No harper for new glory
No mendicant for praise
He struck high chords and splendid,
Wherein were fercely blended
Tones that unfinished ended
With his unfinished days.
Here through this lowly portal,
Made sacred by his name
Cnheraldei immortal
The mortal went and came.
And fate that then denied him,
And envy that deceived him.
And malice that belied him.

IS THE WAR POPULAR?
It VIII be if 1t Wins Speedily, but In
popular If it Drags.

Some of the leading journals Of the
country and many politicians are no"
publicly discussing the question
whether the war with the Filipino in
surgents is popular or unpopular.
They theorize latitudinously on the
subject, apparently entirely forget
full of the fact that the popularity or
unpopularity of the war must depend
wholly upon events yet to transpire
1t is a very important question for
President Mckinley to consider and
to discuss very earnestly with Gen.
Miles and Secretary Root. If he
possesses the sagacity that his ripe
Intelligence and experience in public
affairs should supply, he will under
stand that the war will be popular,
indeed overwhelmingly popular. with
the people of the nation if it shall be
prosecuted vigorously and speedily
ended by the overthrow of Aguin-
aldo's power He must know, also,
that the war will be unpopular, in
deed overwhelmingly unpopular, if
it shall drag along into next year as
it has been dragging since it began,
with great sacrifice of life, health,
and treasure, and without substantial
victory.
1t is idle for public journals or
politicians TO proclaim that the war
is popular or unpopular. Ii an ample
force is put in the field and properly
commanded, the Filipino insurgents
would be driven to the wall, the
authority of the Government es-
tablished in the Philippines, and the
war would be popular in every sec
ton of the country. If there shall
be bungling management OF the war,
needless sacrifice of life and treasure
and the insurgents permitted to con-
tinue it after the coming winter
campaign, the war will be unpopular
with all classes, and the administration
under which it was inaugurated can t
escape the retributive blow Of pop
ular resentment.
In war, as in politics, there is
nothing successful but success, and
the war will be popular or unpopular
| just as the military management
| shall make it. Peace can be won by
the utter overthrow of Aguinaldo in a
campaign not exceeding three months
| duration with ssut1icient army
properly generald; and President
| Mckinley must see to that or find
himself handicapped in next years
political campaign with the crushin g
milestone of detested war. A
short, sharp, and decisive campaign,
with complete victory for our army
and flag, would silence criticism both
as to the cause and management Of
the war, and crystalline it in the
annals of the nation as q conflict that
had the hearty approval and support
of the American people. The War
will be popular if it wins speedily; it
will be unpopular if it doesn't
