FRANCE ON TRIAL.
Vacaville Reporter: The farcical char
acter of the Dreyfus trial, now going
on, becomes more and more apparent
every day. The judgment of the world
has already acquitted Dreyfus 1t is
France which is on trial before the bar
of the intelligent opinion of the world.
AS We learn from accounts of the trial
that subalteran officers who are con-
quoting 1t are seen promenadlng With
the Generals who declaim against
Dreyfus, but are unable to offer testi-
mony on which an intelligent jury
would hang dog, and are showing to-
wards the defendant the narrow preju-
dice of military bigotry, it begins to
look as if in spite of all of the hopes
OF fa1r-minded people that an acquittal
was unlikely. While we regret this
on account of Dreyfus, we regret it
still more on account of France, which
seems to have fallen lower at the pres
ent time than Balzac pictured it in the
time of the Empire.
IN A NUT SHE'LL.
Yreka Journal: In reference to the
present status of the Philippine ques-
tion the whole case is fairly presented
in the Philadelphia Times, which, al
though Democratic, cordially indorses
McKinley's policy. We did not engage
IN the Spanish War, it remarks, for
purposes of conquest, but the presence
of Dewey's fleet at Hongkong and of
the Spanish fleet at Manila made this
a point at which a vital blow to Spain
could be administered. The Spanish
fleet destroyed and Manila once in our
hands, we became responsible before
the world for the protection of property
and the maintenance of order, a re-
sponsibility that we could not honor

ton of the farmers vehicle in state Of
entirety, it was near the middle of the
afternoon when they got back to Ire
garthen, and then Cea Latimer insisted
upon taking his companion up to the.
mountain for the remainder of the day.
Ringbrand offered every reasonable OBJ
lection he could think of, knowing that
another visit TO Hester would immeas-
urably increase the pam of leaving her;
but in the end discretion was swept
away by an overwhelming desire to see
and talk with her once more, and he
yielded. They drove past the Ludlows',
and he ran in to tell his hostess that he
would not be home for tea. She saw
the change in him, and detained him to
ask if his trouble had disappeared.
NO." he replied, and she saw the look
OF dependency come into his eyes
again; land that isn't the worst of it;
I'm going to do something that will
make it infinitely harder"
Are you going to see Hester%
"Yes."
"How can that make it harder?

oil about it, and | haven't the courage to
do that now"
Tell me one thing, at least. Has

AN UNPRECEDENTED DEPARTURE.
Those who ought to know most about
suchmatters pointout the mutability Of
things terrestrial by showing that the
change in position of single grain OF
sand may determine the course of a
mighty river, or that a chance raindrop
trickling down the face of cliff may
mark the line of erosion which shall
eventually cut the mountain in twain.
If these illustrations prove the subjec-
ton of the elements to the universal
rule of change, examples are not want
ing to show that the same law governs
with equal authority in the domain OF
human affairs.
Ringbrand went downstairs the next
morning fully determined to carry out
his programme of the previous evening,
and he told Ludlow at the breakfast
table that he would spend the forenoon
at the furnace with him. AS they were
leaving the house together the colonel
overlook them in his buggy and invited
Ringbrand to 60 with him on drive
across the valley to look at a horse
which was for sale, promising to get
him back to the company'sofice before
noon. There was no good reason for re-
fusing, and the colonel was Hospitality
insistent; Ludlow added his word, and
the upshot of the matter was that the
superintendent went to his office alone,
while his guest departed upon an ex-
cursionwhich was to demonstrate anew
the fUsility of human plans and pur,
poses.
Making due allowance for the fact
that Ringbrand was upon the eve of
taking step which involved the renun-
citation of the woman he loved. he was
less uncompanionable than he might
have been. Their route took them over
thewooded knollsin the main vallev.and
each rise in the road brought out new
beauties Of the landscape. At the top
OF the highest of the hills the colonel
stopped and pointed out the winding
course OF the Harmony river, its bends
and reaches etched among the fields in
sinuous pathway Of silver mist, rufled
by the sun into feecy waves of translu-
cent pearl. In the middle distance, and
about halfway from Tregathen 10 the
river, a group of Lombardy poplars
crowned one of the knobs overlooking
the valley to the southwark, and the
colonel indicated the small hill with a
comprehensive gesture which included
the cultivated fields surrounding it.

and on coming home found the
street filled with people and a fire
engine standing on the corner.
Finally they got near enough to
see that it was their own house
which was burned.
Mrs. Boutelle naturally felt
very badly over the loss of their
cozy home and cried bitterly.
Some friends tried to console her.

Boutelle was a man of consider
able means, and just as soon as
he could he slipped down to the
