The Graphic is a sentinel on the watch-tower to safeguard the public interest, and always bas its searehiight out. The Graphic pro- poses to remain loyal to the public and its constituency, regardless of what any public officer or politician may do. Happily, the Graphic is not reduced to such circumstances that it is forced to toady to public oficeholders. Happily. the people admire and uphold a newspaper that has the courage of it's convictions aud to speak out and condemn what is wrong. He who undertakes to be the oosequious servant and apol- ogist of selfish spoiI-seekers for the sake of the few crumbs that may fall from the official tables, will soon fiad that he has suffered ia the con fdenee and esteem of the public,a and has 3 hard row to hoe. He will also find that tbe average office. hold CT and politician cares for him only so long as they can use him to their advantage Politicians are notcri. ously ungratesul. They play men as they play their cards-for profit and gain. They are as indifferent 10 one as to the other But their hide is exceedingly tender, and they don ike To have their hands ex- posed. AS long as news paper lawns and fatters them they take it as their due and as an evidence Of thelr superiority over the rest Of mankind. The newspaper that does this can expect to go unnoticed, but as soon as newspaper rises ia it's right and majesty and in perform ance of it's public duty etitieises the aforesaid oAiee.holder, then there 5s| d great hulIabaIoo raised about it. He who has the temerity to do it at once invokes the tensure of the aforesaid oefice-holder and all his retiaue of sycophants and hench- men, but the public understands 1t.
 Now in tde foregoing nothing is intended as a reflection upon our weekly contemporary, which we esteem and wish we'll Our re- marks are pertinent to the excerpt appearing above and ace not to be applied specifically, but generally 10 the matter under discussion. It is also well to impress some of the truths above stated upon the gen. eral public.

When ae- qualnted with the trials and dl-a3- polntments that confront business and professional men the wife can more Iully appreciate the wear upon the nervous system due to the constant grind of daily cares. Knowing the real work of life she becomes companion. indeed, fully appreciating the joys of success and the disappointments of failure, sharing in both alike with her husband, and when thus appreciating the feeling of nervous exhaustion and irritableness she quietly passes over these manifestations, which to the in experienced woman often prove the be- ginning of arrangement, as between such and dejeeted husband there can be but little real companionship and sympathy.

4 FEW PLAIN F4GTS.

A f'EW RLAIA F1GIS.
 The correction Q Tuesdays Graph Ic concerning the charges made by it Sunday, rejecting on Prosecuting Attorney Sorrels, is but another evidence of Journalistic haste to SC cure a sensational article, which is published without due regard for veractty; and perhaps without q thought of the evil which might re- suit from such procedure. A journal should endeayof to be truth ful, and dot Let prejudice so bias it as to lose aif sense of right and jus tice. Our neighoor should be very careful when he, for reasons best known to himself, wages warfare against man in public lite. if bis charges are false, even with a slight foundation for such charges. and he is forced to apologize or make cor rection. that instant bis paper loses prestige in the minds of it's readers, and the man whom be seeks to de- throne from public favor, gains a tirmer hold Be just, brother, if not impartial, and your influence may 5e greater.
 The above is from the last issue of our esteemed contemporary the Weekly Courier, which has several yimes lately taken occasion to lee- ture the Graphic upon slight inaccu. racies in publishing the daily news. T the Graphic were publishing weekly solely aud bad a weeks time to investigate matter before pub fishing it, there would probably be less grounds for complaint on the part of our weekly contemporary: but in the task of publishing a daily newspaper and often not having more than an hour in which to in- vestigate the facts in case, write t up and put it in print, it is but natural thas inaeeuraeies1willi often creep into the columns of a daily newspaper These arise from the very necessities Of the case and are often unavoidable.
 Ih or6er to spare the delicate sen siblties of sensitive people, the Graphic ia the past summer has several times acknowledged errors that were not real, but assumed, due to a desire to mitigate the circum- stances in the case, but with the present writer aud editor at the helm, thls vii! not be permitted. The Graphic does not make the news, and IS not responsible for il. The Graphic as a newspaper is mirror to reflect daily current events, and the nea0s it proposes to prir | at whatever hazard, freely and faily, regardless of whom it may affect.
 The Graphic is not aware of hay ing made any charges, reflect ing9 upon Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells, nor is the Graphic "wag- ing warfare against man in pub lie life. What the Graphic did do was to publish the legal records in a Justice of the Peace court and ask an explanation of an apparent dis crimiration, which was made the following day. It subsequently, de- yeIoped that the records were wrong, aud that the Prosecuting Attorney had entered into a private agreement with one of the parties. But how was the Graphic to know what private agreements the Pros ecuting Attorney might mak a?oThe Graphic was not responsible for the Che Ireeord, nor. the private agree ment.

The Pardon of Dreyfus,

France has pardoned Dreyfus; now who
shall pardon France? This is the oues-
ton that people all over the civilized
world are asking to-day The amount
and variety OF the iniquity revealed in the
trial are something astonishing. AS Gov.
Roosevelt well said "Nominally a man was
on trial. but really a republic The man
was convicted by the court at Rennes, but
it is the French Republic that stands con
vcted before the bar of nations
Amid the blackness of the whole story,
there are some CLEANS of light which
show the brighter for the surrounding
darkness. Chief of these is the character
of Madame Dreyfus. Her rare faithful
ness and herosm might serve as a lesson
to a country which by Sale law has al
ways rigidly excluded women from the
throne, ON the ground that 1.-THE land of
France is too noble to be ruled by wo-
man. country which, even as a repub-
lie, imposes all manner Of antiquated
legal disabilities on women.
1t is only within the past year or two
that French wives have been allowed the
control of their own earnings; the only
scrap of suffrage granted to them is the
right to vote for judges of the tribunals of
commerce; and in certain classes of i'm
portant cases, (as for instance question OF
identify, the testimony of a woman is
not received in court. She is legally in
capable of testifying to the identity of a
person whom she may have known all her
life-as incapable as if she were an insane
person or an idiot
Who would not to-day consider the tes-
timony of Madame Dreyfus worth more
than that of half the witnesses before the
court at Rennes? Who would not saw
that such a woman is better worthy to
vote than that whole clique of conspir-
ators, perjurers and forgers, the Generals
of the French army?

Vessels Lost at Sea.

According to statistics of Lloyd's Reg
lister of British and Foreign Shipping,
compiled from reports made up 70 July
18th of this year, the number of vessels,
excluding all vessels less than 100 tons,
totally lost, condemned, etc, during 1898,
was /, al, with tonnage of $40, 1926. OF
these 322 were steam craft, with ton
mage of 463, PAL, and $40 sail, with ton
mage of 357, 4S4. Regarding steamers,
the number lost exceeds the average for
the previous seven years by fifty-six YES
sells and 1875, PSI tons, while the number
of sail craft destroyed is below the aver
age for the same period by thirty one
vessels and 2S,5 51 tons. The materials
of construction of the lost vessels were !:
In steam, steel, IS; iron, 21S, and of wood
and composite, 26; and in sail, steel, % !;
iron, 80; wood and composite, 757. The
United States loss during the year was
fourteen steam vessels of 10, $50 tons, and
172 sail craft of 81, S54 tons. Lloyd S
record for the year 1878 shows that the
United States merchants had af1oat $50
steamers of 1,175, 1852 tons, and 1870 sail
craft of 1922, 915 IONS.

Santa Cruz del Sur is an interesting
town, although it has not figured much in
history. It's situated Immediately in front
