WORKING FOR DREYFUS.
NJ. LabOri's Private Secretary Visits
the Northwest.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. A.-M. Leon
Bureau, the private secretary of Maitre
Labor. the leading counsel for Dreyfus,
who has been in Seattle visiting the
French vice consul, DR.. Monoda has left
for Paris. In an interview, NJ Bureau ad-
mitted for the first time that his trip to
the Northwest was for the purpose of Sc
curing information of great value to
Dreyfus. He has obtained 1t, and this
explains his desire to reach home with
out loss of time
ST have been to the Great Slave lake
in the Northwest territory" said NJ Bu-
reau, latter information connected with
the Dreyfus case. 1 hope to reach Paris
in time to hand it over to NJ. Labori be-
fore the case closes, but even if I do not
1t will be still of value. I am unable to
state the exact nature Of the information
I obtained, for you know we must guard
against every contingency in this case,
future as well as present.
1.-The impression that there was a con-
spiracy among the highest army officers
against Dreyfus prior to the time he was
condemned is not in conformity with our
belief or contention" said NJ. Bureau
at is true that the proceedings by which
he was degraded were illegal, but we
don't think that any deep-dycd con-
spiracy was Matched against him. 1t was
case of an innocent man being prose-
cuted while the real criminal was in the
background"

MANILA, Aug. % (via San Francisco,
Aug. 2D.-In Manila talk of the ending Of
the war deals no longer with weeks, but
with months and even years. Whether
the end comes after a few months or
after two or three years depends upon
whether the same sort of tactics which
dragged through five months, resulting in
the conquest of three square inches on
the two-foot map of Luzon be continued,
or methods of striking the enemy fast and
repeatedly and holding the ground gained
be substituted Among the mass of peo-
pie here, military men and foreign resi-
dents, there is but one opinion. The
whole effort Of the insurgents for three
months was to hold off the Americans
until their ally, the rain came. In this
they have been as successful as they
could have hoped. Unless affairs take
some unforeseen turn the Filipinos will
resume the war this fall with a fresh
spirit and replenished stock of arms and
ammunition. One ship load of arms, it is
learned on good authority, has reached
them within this week. OF money the
leaders of the instruction have no lack.
They control the resources of large and
exceedingly rich country, and, even
though no crops were harvested for sew
eral years, they could still obtain
enough cash and supplies by impressing
to their use the treasures of the church,
the storehouses of farmers and manu-
facturers and funds of private individ-
uals, system of levy which they have
long enforced with considerable success.
All the ships coming and going in the
ports recently opened to trade pay
heavy tribute to the insurgents Much
Of the profits of this informal sort of
government are supposed to go into the
pockets of the leaders, excepting Aguin-
aldo, who is generally acquitted of en-
riching himself by the present war, but
unless the public treasury becomes empty
the politicians who are exploiting Aguin-
aldo may, if they see a possibility of sue
cess, consider the war a good private in
vestment.
Reports brought through the lines to
Spanlards and Filipinos in this city are
that the spirits of the insurrectionists
are improving Americans, like the
Spaniards, must defer to nature and rest
on their arms most of the time while
the country is a mud-wallow. The gener-
ais are telling their followers that Amer
lean inaction during the past month is
due to Encouragement and demoraliza-
ton. The Filipino soldiers, according to
these informants, are tolerably content
ed, although the paymaster seldom ap-
pears, living as comfortably as they have
been accustomed to, being clothed and re-
ceiving rations which an American SOL
der could not live on, chiefly rice, with
only occasionally little fish or meat
They are fairly well housed, having taken
possession of the dwellings and public
and church buildings in the towns in
which they are quartered, and they add
to their living by looting.

GIBES OF JOURNALISTS.

The editor of the Fargo Argus certainly
has a genius for turning pretty compli-
ments; and the following from his paper
goes to prove to a skeptical world that the
days of ehivalry are yet with US:
"A white woman was murdered in IN
dian territory the other day for being a
witch. If all the beWitching ladies in
Fargo were murdered, the town would be
nearly devoid of feminine population
The LIE Sueur Leader uses a trenchant
argument in its own defense when it re-
marks editorially:
Some people are prone to think seri-
ousiy II! OF any pun or chestnut that may
appear in the columns of a local paper at
their expense. This is all wrong. Some of
our ableSt and most popular men have
withstood very pert jokes and remarks
through newspaper columns, and were
they to become angry esteem in which
they are held would be considerably les
sened."
Mr.. Pease, of the Anoka Union, has dis
carded the regulation editorial Eve" as
too personal, and now allows the wit and
wisdom of his paper to be prefaced with
the pronOun 81" Having at last conclud-
ed his frenzied editorials anent his dis
appointment in failing to secure an insane
asylum right at home, he now troubles
his poor bald head over the price of fuel.
Even an offer to take wood on subscrip-
lions" may occasionally leave the Union
office chilly, for thus he elOquently voices
his fears:
Gosh almighty, hope the coming win
ter will be warm and pleasant and the de-
mand for fuel will fall short of last Win
ter The coal barons, or robbers more
properly speaking, have got their heads
together and have put up the black dia-
monds another % cents and by the time it
is necessity it will no doubt be hoisted

The Wisconsin people seem to have ac-

Of marriage. Not content with passing
the marriage license law last spring they
still indulge in discOuraging observations
upon the subject. This bit Of philosophy
appears in the Burnett County Sentinel
Of that state:

PHILIPPINE BLOCKADE.
Question Which Is Receiving Atten-
ton at War Department.

WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-The estab-
lishment of a blockade Of the ports of
the Philippine islands, especially those Of
Luzon, is a subject which is receiving at
tention at the war department, although
Secretary Root says he has as yet not
sufficient information to warrant definite
action in the matter. The secretary says
that he believes in taking advantage Of
everything necessary to make a cam
paign successful, and that war cannot be
made without causing distress. At the
same time, he thinks an absolute block
ade may do more injury just now than
good He considers that it would be
serious hardship upon peaceful COM
munity to shut them off from means Of
subsistence because a port which sup
plies them is in the hands of marauders.
Another matter that has to be considered
is the fact that the merchants and bust
ness men in Manila would be seriously
crippled, and it might cause a great deal
Of dissatisfaction should rigid blockade
be maintained at the present time.
The probabilities are, however, that
when the fall campaign begins there will
be an effectual blockade maintained and

ITS HONOR PREsERvED

The honor of the nation is safe
Matthew Stanley Quay is in the saddle
in the state of Pennsylvania, and moral
ideas hold sway, as of yore, in its poll
tics
For some weeks past everybody in
Pennsylvania, and quite a number Of
persons outside Of the state, have known
that ]. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, would
head the ticket as candidate for supreme
judge; that Josiah r. Adams would be
the candidate for superior judge, and
that Gov. Stone would be commended
for appointing Senator Quay to succeed
himself Indeed, the entire slate, as an
nounced a week ago or over, has been
carried out. Senator Quay, like the
broad-minded statesman that he is,
was prompt in taking the public into his
confidence, with the result that yester-
days convention might just as well never
have been called, and was, as it was in
tended to be, a mere pleasant formality,
engaged in to avoid any vexatious ques-
ton that might arise as to the legality Of
the proceeding had Senator Quay thought
proper to have simply given certificate
of nomination to his favorites. 50, too,
as a precautionary measure, the people
of Pennsylvania will be asked to declare
by majority vote their concurrence in
the personal and political preferences Of
Senator Quay.
Tt may net appear very plain to the
ordinary wayfarer in what respect the
honor Of the nation is particularly adj
vancea by Senator Quay's thoughtful pro-
vision for judicial and other officers for

THAT TAX CERTIFICATE DEAL

THAT TAX CERTIFICATE DEAL.
The statement now current regarding
the investigation of the county treas
urer's Office by the state bank examiner
indicates a very loose condition Of things
in the administration of that office If
the report of the bank examiner sustains
that statement, County Treasurer Aro-
sin may find it necessary, after the ex-
ample Of County Auditor johnson, to
transform his deputy into political Jo-
nah
The statement is, in effect, that a GER
tain purchaser of tax certificates has
found it possible, through the complai-
sance Of the county treasurer's Office,
to purchase $4,000 worth Of such
certificates on a ninety-day credit
1t may be pointed out as a fact of moro
or less political significance that the
name of the favored purchaser of tax
certificates in this case is Denegre
The extension Of this credit just in
wolves a gain Of interest on $40, 900, COM
puted at y per cent for two or three
months, to Mr.. Denegre, since the law
aids such investors in collecting u per
cent in case the property covered by the
certificate is redeemed
The only explanation thus far vouch-
safed by County Treasurer Arosin is the
same explanation given on former occa-
sion by County Auditor Johnson. He
does not know anything about the matter
personally. But, perhaps because misery
loves company, County Auditor johnson
is represented as declaring that he did
not learn Of the matter until after the
treasurer's receipt had been produced and
the certificate handed over. Since there
is nothing said as to the date Of the GER
tificate, and since the report of the state
examiner is not available. the exact inn
port and the full significance of-the trans
action are necessarily not known
But whatever, may be shown as to
dates, assuming it to be correct that the
payment by Mr.. Denegre was not re-
ceived by the county until ninety days
from the time the tax sale was closed,
the transaction shows a state Of things
to exist which cannot be reconciled with
the official duties and obligations of Mr..
Arcsin.
Should it prove to be the fact that the
u per cent interest ran to Denegre
from the date of the sale, the county re-
ceiving its money from Denegre only
| three months after, then there is a state
of things shown to exist which should
compel the immediate removal of Treas
urer Arosin from office. And, such a
transaction being shown to exist, it is
safe to say that, If all the facts were
known, somebody ought to be behind
| prison bars on account of it.
| The Clio b awaits with a feeling Of
the deepest interest the final result Of
the investigation which Gen. Pope is car
rying on into the affairs of this county,
regardless of the inaction in that direc-
ton Of his Republican predecessor, Mr..
Kenyon.
