1t was hoped that the report Of the
Beef Court of Inquiry would settle
things," but it does not seem TO have
done 80, says the New York Outlook
of goth. General Miles declares that
it would be u~nsoldiery on his part to
make'personal comment; but his coun'
sci, Mr.. Probasco, has pointed out that

General Miles's allegations that, when

to subj oe IA more than ten" News
papers throughout the country have
commented severely upon this fact,
some significantly adding that the
Court also seems to have ignored the
existence of a responsible Secretary OF
War. General E9gan testified that,
before any purchases Of beef were
made, he always submitted the con-
tractors proposals to the Secretary for
approval. If this be true, then Gen.
eral Alger must have known about the
famous seven million pound purchase

DREYFUS AGAIN.

The revelations in the Dreyfus case
which have been so pitilessly and
proviGentially made, show a state of
things almost incredible. Fortunately,
public opinion in France seems to be
alive to the terrible disgrace which the
army cabal has inflicted on the nation,
and there seems NJ reason to doubt
that, within the next few weeks, the
court of cessation will pronounce for
a revieion-that is to say, a retrial of
the Dreytus case.
Indisputsble facts that have recently
come out show that the French gen.
eral staff, with the active aid and sup
port of several cabinet ministers, has
perpetrated a crime Of unspeakable
grossness. The exposures that have
been made in the Paris press have been
confined almost exclusively to the pub
LEGATION of the testimony taken before
the court OF cessation. Not a particle
of the evidence against Dreyfus has
been able to stand in the light. All
the charges against him are now known
to have been made up wholly from lies
and torgeries.
The plan pursued by the general
staff of the army has been to produce
one forgery for the purpose of substan-
tiating another. This has been proved
beyond the pc sibility Of q doubt. One
of the latest features of the case is
worth noting. An Italian military
attache in Paris sent a telegram to his
government, which being secretly de-
ciphered, proved the innocence Of
Oreyfus. Thereupon, Henri, who re-
Gently committed suicide, was ordered
to produce the forged version proving
Dreyfus guilty. Major Cinquet was
sent before the court Of cessation to
swear that the original had disap.
peared, and that the forged transla-
tion was correct.
Yet it was proved that the original
exists in the foreign Office, and that
among the signatures attesting it was
that of Mel or Cinquet himself. Frey
cinct, head Of the foreign Office, seeing
the storm coming, submitted to the
inevitable and resigned. Major Gin
quet has been dismissed from the army
in disgrace, another victim of the
army chiefs who have been selling
state secrets to foreign governments.
A recent dispatch says that the only
thing the 8nti-revisionists can now do
is to try to provoke disorder. Roche
fort is already advocating the lynch
ing of Dreyfus when be landg; and it
is said to be certain that the forces Of
disorder will engage in rioting.
But what a spectacle does France
present! Among the first to strike a
blow for human liberty, her people
have been, from that day to this, the
victims of the most horrible crimes, Of
the most awful tyrrany and of the
widest frauds They no sooner make
unto themselves an idol than they are
crushed beneath its ruins. First the
time of Terror, then Napoleon, then
the Little Napoleon with his disgust
ing ambitions, and now the heads of
the army trying in vain to cover up a
foul crime. What is to become of that
unhappy and3-ConstitutiOn.

AS TO THR SUPREME COURT.

No one has ever questioned the de
mocracy of the Statesville Landmark,
but that paper is too fair to endorse
the rantings OF those who accuse the
Supreme Court Of partisanship because
It does not decide every case in just
the way desired by thu Landmarks
party. Speaking Of this matter in it's
issue Of last Friday, it said:
The Landmark reports elsewhere a
number Of important decisions Of the
Supreme Court involving titles to
cthoe. In some cases the Democrats,
who sought to get possession of the
Offices, win, and in others the fusion
lsts, who sought to held their jobe, are
the viCtors. We regret OF course that
the Dem Gratis didn't all win, but we
are not here to say that these decisions
are Incorrect, for we do not know
that they are. We recall the storm Of
criticism with which the court was as
sailed when it decided againet the
tlsj0nists and in favor of the Demo
Gratis two years ago. Certainly if it's
decisions had been biased entirely by
partisan prejudice it would then have
1as.ded in favor OF the f~usioniste, for
q wai)rity of the court was then, as
Row, anti Democratic. Whether the
.--rls recent decision is a proper con
7.-ucJiOn Of the law we do not know,
5-L we do not think, in common fair
-o=7. that it can be charged entirely to
PARTISAN prejudice in view of the
courts former decisions."

Rl0TlNG AT CLEVELAND.
Non-Union Street Car Men Attacked and
Badly Beaten.


Cleveland, Ohio, June 15,-While the
sixth day of the street railway strike
started peaceably enough, there was
serious floting before night fall, and
three non-un1on men were taken to the
hospitals in Consequence.
The trouble began shortly after noon
near the Lakeview car barns, on Eu-
cid avenue. A crowd attacked car
on which several nOnunion men We're
riding, and the conductor, James Muir
ply, who came from ST. Louis, was
hauled from the platform. Murphy
drew a revolver and fired into the air
and then took to his heels. The mob
then assaulted some of the other non
union men on the car, injuring them
appeared when the police arrived.
Soon afterward another car, in which
were several women passengers, was
attaced-~Brlcks and stones were hurled
through the windows, but the women
escaped injury. The conductor, An
thony Wuerst, from Milwaukee, was
struck an the face by brick and
stone, which hit on the head, render
ed him unconscious. The motorman,
also from milwaukee,, was hit by
shower of bricks and stones. and was
so badly hurt that he had to be car
ried with Wuerst to the car barns.
Both men were subsequently sent to
hospital. In this case, as in the
other, the mob had dispersed when
the police arrived. A little later, a
third car was stopped by a crowd of
men, which had been concealed in the
bushes at the side of the street.
Fifteen or 20 men boarded the car
and a desperate fight ensued between
them and r. w. Newman and c. W.
King, the conductor and motorman,
both from Buffalo. Both men We're
chased from the car and We're beaten
with clubs and kicked in q brutal man
ner Newman was so badly injured
that 1t was necessary to send him to
hospital. This mob disappeared be-
fore the police arrived

that he thought the Cornishman had

passing between them when Mazet or
dered Devery to leave the room AS he
made no move Mr.. Mazet called the

from the sitting. Testimony was given
to the effect that policemen were guilty

girl, who had attempted to kill her
self in Bowery music hall. She said
the policemen had regular schedule
of prices for protection to the women

men had to pay under pain of ar
