dergoing a supreme test.
AS TO THE DAvISES.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
There are good many estimabie gen.
tlemen by the name of Davis running
for governor of West Virginia next
year, and unless the labels be printed
in positive colors the average voter is
liable to become confused over the SIM
ilarity of names and lose the identity
of the candidates. Thus there is the
Hon. ThOs. E. Davis, of Grafton, whom
Elkins put up for a political buffer in
1892, and after he was used to serve
the purpose then in view he was drop
ped from the list. In order that this
particular Thomas may not get clear
over the fence and join the insurgents
the organgrinders are rendering him
coils of taffy in furlong lengths, as a
future political possibility.
Then again there is the Hon. Thomas
B. Davis, of Piedmont. A quiet, un-
assuming and exceedingly able Demo-
crat with an untapped barrel and a dis
position to become his party's candi-
date if urged with sufficient vigor and
determination. But his boom does not
take on much Roadway, at least not
with the break-the-record speed Mr..
Davis would make a good governor, a
of politician.
The other Davis mentioned in con-
nection with the governorship is also
a Democrat-one who supported Bryan
in 1S96-Ex- Senator Henry G. Davis.
He possesses the experience of service
in the State Legislature and twelve
years in the United States Senate, from
which latter body he voluntarily retired
at the close of his second term. Mr..
Henry G. Davis is skilled and expert
enced in the ways of politics; is blessed
with enough of this worlds goods to
make campaign without going into
bankruptcy, and could make strong
campaign. His comparative retirement
for the past years has kept him free
from the many ENGAGEMENTS that have
disturbed the party so much and were
Mr.. Davis to become the candidate the
State would witness a campaign that
WOuldsinSure success.

NEWS OF HORSON.

Naval Constructor HobSon has been
heard from, after many moons of OBJ
security, at Manila. No, he has not been
performing feats of OSCILLATION among
the dusky beauties of the Philippines,
but has been hard at it in the bav of
Manila endeavoring to make some use
of the junk into which Dewey con-
verted Montejo's squadron.
Reports of his progress show tha,
the young officer knows thing or two
besides sampling feminine lips by
wholesale. He has saved three of the
Spanish vessels-the Isle de Cuba, the
Isle de Luzon and the Don Juan of
Austria The cost of raising and re-
constructing thee three cruisers Will
be 1904 900 and their valIe is estimat-
ed at 100000, which is a net saving
to the government Of S50S.G00, which IS
worth while Moreover these vessels
will be very useful in Philippine wat
ers, where the United STATES squad
ron is sadly in need of strengthening
and reinforcements to mora effectively
patrol the coast and prevent the land
ing of filibustering expeditions to as
sist the natives.
All of which goes to show that Hob
son is all right in his place.

VERY AMlISING

One of the most amusing rumors put
in circulation for some time is that
started on the rounds from Washington
to the effect that President Mckinley
will decline to be candidate for the
Presidential denomination, throwing
his strength, instead, to Governor Roos-
evelt, of New York.
This will be hilariously received, es-
pecially in the inner circles of the
6. o. D.
1t is attempted to give the canard ba
sis by the solemn decl ration that such
contingency might arise from an at
tempt of the Republican national organ
ization to sl1irk responsibility for the
trust evil and for existing conditions in
the Philippines. In the campaign of
1900 these issues will be prominent.
President Mckinley stands pre-emi-
nently for the trusts and for the Phil
ippines muddle.
Still any one who knows. as most
people do, how easy it is for the smooth
politician of Canton to change his views
to suit whatever conditions may be
uppermost, will take no stock in this
as a possible contingency. For they
remember how utterly and completely
Mr.. Mckinley "fiopped" on the silver
question coming from the honest adj
vocacy of free silver coinage over to
the extreme limit of single standard
goldbuggery at one flop. And any one
with sufficient agility to accomplish that
feat can fit himself to any platform
that any political party can put to-
gether.
Oh, no. Mr.. Mckinley will not volun-
tarily retire, no matter what the con-
vention may do with the trusts and the
imperial policy. Mr.. Mckinley is not
in politics to retire and he won't retire
or be retired by his party leaders so
long as he is useful to Hanna. the
trusts and those syndicates in control
of the party which have been using it
to grab foreign territory offering field
for the profitable employment of syndi-
Gated capital at the expense of the lives
and treasure of the American people.
When Mr.. Mckinley ''retires" it will
be upon the toe of your Uncle Sans
boot.

In a sermon the Rev. Braddin
Hamilton, of New York, said that
this country's duty is to teach the
Filipinos the Christian religion and
get back its $2O,OOO,0O0. But he did
not suggest from whom the govern
ment should gets it's money back, nor
did he tell us what right under our
Constitution we have to dictate or in
terfere with the Filipinos as to their
religious belief The Rev. Hamilton
will find lots of American citizens
right in New York, not all of them in
need of the Christian religion than the
Filipinos.

A CASE OF YELLOW FEVER

Makes Its Appearance Among the Marines
on Duty at Havana-Win all BE Brought
North
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 15.-
Word was received at the navy depart
ment to-day from Commodore Crowell,
commanding the naval station at Ha-
vana, saying that a case of yellow fever
had appeared among the marines en-
gagged in guarding government property
there. TIE marine battalion at Ha-
vana consists of forty men under the
command of First Lieut.. J. e. Ma
honey. Acting Secretary Allen decided
as precautionary measure to order
the entire marine battalion away from
Havana to northerly point in the
United States, and to temporarily sup
ply their places as watchmen with ma
tive immunes. The battalion will be
brought to New York city on the first
Ward Line steamer leaving Havana,
and will be put in strict quarantine at

emit trial. though the defense mainly
depended on him to confuse the con-
spirators by his shrewd and vigorous
questioning, will be mighty
handicap to Dreyfus, who is thus de-
prived OF his right hand in the de-
tense.
This criminal act shows to what
lengths French militarism is prepared
to go to bolster up it's rotten cause.
The French Republic is having a
hard time in it's effort to purge itself
of its corruption--for it is really
France rather than Dreyfus that is on
trial.

DREYFUS INNOCENT. BUT IN DANGER.


The terrible martyrdom of Dreyfus
may not yet be ended. He is but one
man against the entire army OF
France. Even the Loubet administra-
ton is accused of siding with the ar
my against Dreyfus, while doubtless
many unprejudiced Frenchmen ana
many great interests in France that
under other conditions would prefer
to see Justice done Dreyfus and the
French army rid of its villainous cor
ruption. vet would rather countenance
the sacrifice of the man, Dreyfus, than
risk the probable upheaval that would
follow his yindication and the conse-
ouent dishonor of the army and those
high in authority, which would proDa-
bly, precipitate revolution that
would shake the French Republic to
its very foundation. For all France
is now a vast powder magazine await
ing the spark which may be in the
verdict of the Rennes courtmartial. 1t
is the ultra-conservative interests as
we'll as the army conspirators that
Dreyfus has to fear, which for the
sake of avoiding national trouble
would connive at the sacrifice of this
one man, afterwards consoling them
selves that they had acted from pa
triotic motives and for the good OF
France.
There can be no question whatever
in any impartial mind that Dreyfus is
an innocent man, but the fact will have
to be established most clearly and
before the court at Rennes will acquit
him. While the people have faith in
the honesty of President Loubet and
Minister of War de Gallifet in their
opposition to the army conspiracy,
yet it is now quite apparent that the
trial judges are hostile to Dreyfus.
These seven judges, being of the
army, are naturally resentful of i'm
putations cast upon that organization.
Impartial reports of the trial agree
that they are Ignorant of law, al
ways ready to sacrifice equity to au-
thority, quick to scout at the rules of
evidence, and members OF cast who
think they have been attacked by Jews
cosmopolitans and foreigners" They
are further said to be deeply and
strongly prejudiced against the pris-
oner,' and willing to condemn him
on his looks, if all legal evidence
breaks down.
This means. of course. that if there
is any sort of technical loophole by
which a verdict of conviction may pos
sibly be rendered and the army white
washed, it will be done. Dreyfus's in
nocence will have to be proven so
positively that all the world will know
it and the judges will be ashamed or
afraid to render any other verdict, if
this martyr to the honor" of the
French army is to be acquitted
And the outlook is not promising.
The conspirators have begun to testi-
fly and they are allowed full swing by
the court, while the assassination or
attempted assassination of NJ. Labori,
