THE Dreyfus trial is the all alb
sorbing topic in France. The tes-
timony by all except those who
are known to be in the army ring
against Dreyfus, favors the prisoner.
Lying, treachery, deceit, perjury,
murder and all kinds of jobbery
are being resorted to by the army
to again convict Dreyfus, and they
may accomplish this end. Some
sensations have been experienced,
and more will be. Attorney Labor,
for Dreyfus, was shot the other day,
but is not dead yet, and may re-
cover. This it appears is only a
part of the plot to convict Dreyfus
or get him out of the way. Rather
than this it will probably go to-
wards helping acquit. The affair
may end in a revolution and the
downfall of the Republic, at least
its rule by the army.

a TRUSTS REQUEST.

Fresh proofs,o the avidity with
which the trusts manipulate politi-
cal conditions to bleed the public
is furnished in the eager rapidity
with which the lumber trust of the
northwest has utilized the strained
relations between the United States
and Canada.
A dispatch from Washington re-
lates that the trust is demanding
retaliatory duties on all imports OF
Canadian lumber of whatever de-
scription.
A levy of retaliatory duties would
enable the trust to raise the price
on all its enormous output Thus
it shows the great advantages OF
mixing politics with business.
When the lumber trust spends
100000 to elect one of its agents
to the United States Senate from
Michigan, it can be placed in a
position to more than get its money
back by means of a retaliation
nominally aimed at Canada, but in
reality framed to rob American
consumers.

SITUATION BROUGHT HOME.

A high official in che British Col
onial Office is represented as having
thus spoken to correspondent of
the Associated Press concerning the
trouble in the Transvaal ri.
Surely the Americans realize that
their sympathies and interest are
with Great Britain over the Boer
question. There are large numbers
among the Uitlanders, and'it is to-
their interest as we'll as to that of
the Britishers, that these reforms
should be carrid out. The case Of
John Hays Hammond (the Ameri-
can engineer who was imprisoned
in the Transvaal) ought to have
brought the situation home to the
Americans.
1t does bring the situation home.
1t reminds the American people
that John Hays Hammond escaped
very luckily. 1t recalls to their
memory these facts: That John
Hays Hammond went into the Boer
Republic to make a fortune. That
he was in possession there of an
immense salary as mining superin-
tendent, that he was furthermore
interested in various mines, and
that he was rapidly becoming a
millionaire. That, in return for
all the advantages which the Trans
vaal had showered upon him, in
exchange for the fortune which was
pouring into his lap, he entered in
to an armed conspiracy to over
throw the Government under whose
protection he was accomplishing so
much-a crime which is everywhere
punishable with death. John
Hays Hammonds escaped with his
life, but he was heavily fined. and
was driven form the Boer Republic.
He should thank his lucky stars
that he was not hanged That
would have been the fate of "a citi-
zen of the Boer Republic who had
tried the warlike tactics of John
Hays Hammond in any State of
the American Union.
The case of John Hays Ham
mond does bring the situation in
the Transvaal home to the Ameri-
can people. 1t shows them that
the Beers are deserving their sym
pathy; that they are standing for
their inalienable right to make laws
for and govern their own land, and
that the British are interlopers who
are endeavoring to steal a country
because the people there will not
permit the Government TO become
a mere tool ali d plaything for the
Uitlanders.
The events of the Jameson raid
in which John Hays Hammond
played a conspicuous part-certain-
ly do bring the situation home to

FOUNTAIN MURDER CASES.
One Of the Defendants Claims to Fear
Assassination.

Hillsboro is now crowded with at
tendants upon the trial of j. B. Gilliland
and Oliver Lee upon the charge of mur-
dering Colonel A. ]. Fountain and son.
Thursday the prosecution was given
the privilege of trying Lee and Gill-
land together, or letting the McNew
case go to trial at the same time. The
attorneys for the territory said they
chose to try Lee and Gilliland first or
the indictment charging them with the
murder of 8-year-old Henry Fountain.
They then asked for continuance un-
til o'clock, explaining that Jack Max
well, Of Three Rivers, one of the most
| important witnesses for the territory,
had failed to show up. The defense OBJ
jeeted to continuance, but the court
overruled the objection and announced
that the prosecution would be given un-
til 10 o'clock Friday morning to procure
the witness, and that the case would
certainly go to trial at that hour.
Lee complained to Judge Parker that
he feared assassination, and the judge,
at the prisoners request, appointed two
of Lees friends as additional guards
The guards occupy the room with the
prisoners, and are heavily armed.
