The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1899-03-22

The Year Book and Almanac issued
BY the Globe Company, of st. Paul,
10 the best work OF the kind which
has come to our notice. Complete In
every particular, 1t combines history
and facts, statistics and general in
formation, properly classified and in
aexed in u manner which permits OF
Instant reference. The statistics
are most complete and admirably ar
ranged for Intelligent understanding.
Sixty pages of the 500 which this
wonderful book contains are devoted
to Minnesota, and the political in
formation Is the most comprehensive
and valuable ever published in the
state. We bespeak for this work the
consideration of every intelligent
person in the state, and we can say
Without hesitancy that it is valuable
alike to merchant, farmer. mechanic,
sportsmanor politician.
The price of the book is Is cents,
nailed anywhere, and considering the
amount of information it contains, it
worth fully three times that amount.
The Duluth Herald answers the fol-
lowing query: "Will you please an
swer in your paper this question. A
man owns an undivided half interest
in a piece or land in ST. Louis county
and pays his undivided half of the
taxes. Does that protect him and
prevent his land from being sold for
taxes? 1t does. As long as he pays
his half OF the taxes his undivided
half interest in the land is safe from
sale for taxes.

Mr.. Mitchell will deliver an address
on the "Law Of Meas urement."
The Conservative, 1899-08-31


of Dreyfus, now proceeding at Rennes,
makes especially timely l.. G. Moreau's
translation of 1.-THE Letters of Captain
Dreyfus to His Wife," which has just
been brought out. The reader who ex-
poets to find in the epistles arguments
tending to prove the innocence of the
writer will be disappointed, for even if
he actually attempted defense it was
not allowed to pass the censor. Only
persistent declaration of innocence will
be found-a declaration that is repeated
with awful and tragic monotony.
When her husband was convicted, Nine.
Dreyfus attempted to reply in LIE Figaro
to the many vicious calumnies which
were heaped upon him, but Parisians
laughed at her, declaring that she was
not the only deceived wife in the world.
Finally, wearied of the unequal combat
one woman against a whole horde of
anti Semitic vilifiers--she published this
volume of his letters, which she called
Lies Lettres dun Innocent" to reha-
bilitate the prisoner as husband and
father in the eyes of Frenchmen.
In his introduction, "Dreyfus, the
Man." Walter Littlefeld says:
"In August, 1894, Commandant Comte
Walsin- -Esterhazy, who was carrying on
reasonable negotiations with the Ger
man embassy in Paris, sent to Lieuten-
ant Colonel Won Schwarzkoppen some
notes of information, together with
memorandum. This memorandum, or
'bordereau," fell into the hands of
French spy. 1t was taken to the secret
intelligence department. Its Importance
as revealing the presence of traitor
who had access to the secrets of the war
office was at once recognized. General
Mercier, then minister of war, placed
the investigation in the hands of Com
the similarity between the handwriting
in the "bordereau" and that of Dreyfus,
this officer was suspected of being it's
author. He was arrested and taken to
the military prison of Cherche Midi"
Commandant Forzinetti was in
charge of Cherche Midi. His first i'm
preston of the prisoner as deposed be-
fore the court of cessation was as fol-
lows:
"I went to Captain Dreyfus. He
was terribly excited. I had before me
a man bereft of reason, with bloodshot
eyes. He had upset everything in his
room. succeeded, after some trouble,
in quieting him. I had an intuition
that this officer was innocent. He
begged me to allow him some writing
lister of war to be heard by him or by
one of the general officers of the minis

death would be forgetfulness."
On December II he duplicated his
wife not to 60 to his trial.
cit can do no good for you to impose
new sufferings upon YOURSELF those
that you have already borne, with a
grandeur of soul and with heroism of
which I am proud, are more than suf-
ficient. Save your strength for our
children. We shall need all our united
strength to care for each other, to help
each other to forget this terrible trial"
That he expected to be acquitted is
evident from the following extract from
letter dated December IA:
"I am convinced that eventually the
the truth will be known; that the as
surance of my innocence will be finally
borne in upon all minds. At my trial
1 shall be judged by soldiers as loyal
and as honest as myself They will
recognize-I am sure Of 1.-THE error
that has been committed. Error, un-
happily, is human thing"
Nearly every day du Patty de Clam
visited Dreyfus and tried in every way
to force confession The position of
Minister of War Mercier was this:
For months campaign had been
carried on against him in the radical
press. One fortunate act would vindi-
cate him-the conviction of traitor.
1t is impossible that he could have long
entertained a belief in the guilt of the
prisoner. Yet, having in the first flush
of seeming success publicly accused him,
he dare not draw back. Thus his repu.
tation, and very possibly the existence
of the cabinet, became staked on the
conviction. On the nineteenth of De-
cember the court-martial began. Forged
evidence was introduced unknown to
the prisoner or to his counsel, and the
criminal code was grossly violated"
| AS a result Dreyfus was convicted on
the 23d. That evening he wrote
"To be innocent, to have lived life
without stain, and to be condemned
for the most monstrous crime a soldier
can commit What could be more ter
rible? 1t seems to me at times that
am the victim of an awful nightmare.
No matter what may
become of me, search for the truth;
move earth and Heaven to discover it;
sink in the effort, if need be, all our for
tune, to rehabilitate my name, which
now is dragged through the mud. No
matter what may be the cost, we must
wash out the unmerited STAIN

cler asked Forzlnettl what he thought
of the prisoners guilt. This was the
reply: They are evidently on
false scent. This officer is not
guilty"
On December 5, 1894, Dreyfus wrote
his first letter to his wife from the
prison of Cherche Midi:
cat last can write word to you
they have just told me that my trial
is set for the nineteenth of this month. I
am refused the right to see you. will

on us. Then all at once fearful thun-
derbolt my brain is still reeling with
the shock. For me to be accused of the
most mOnstrous crime that soldier can
commit Even today 1 feel that must
be the victim of an awful nightmare.
But hope in God and in justice. In
the end the truth must come to light.
My conscience is calm and tranquil. 1t
reproaches me with nothing. I have
done my duty, never have L turned
from it. I have been crushed to the
earth, buried in my dark prison alone
with my reeling brain. There have
been moments when have been nearly
crazed, ferocious, beside myself, but
even in those moments my conscience
was on guard. Hold up thy head = it
said to me. Look the world in the
face! Strong in thy conscience, go
straight onward Rise! The trial is
bitter, but it must be undergone 7"
Two days later he wrote
II am waiting with impatience for a
letter from you. You are my hope !;
you are my consolation; were it not for
you life would be burden. At the
bare thought that they could accuse me
of crime so frightful, so monstrous,
my whole being trembles; my body re-
volts against it. To have worked all
my life for one thing alone, to avenge
my country, to struggle for her against
the infamous ravisher who has snatched
from us our dear Alsace, and then to be
accused of treason against that country
