According to reports received from Paris
of the Dreyfus trial a majority of the
newspapers of France are deliberately try
ing to mislead the public in respect TO the
evidence that is brought out at the court
martial These papers are on the side of
the army, and are the most influential and
have the largest circulation of any in the
country.
1t is difficult to understand the condition
of mind of the directors of newspapers
that sanctions the misleading of the peo-
pie, particularly as it is only question
of time when the truth will be known. Il
is impossible for the courtmartial to find
Dreyfus guilty, if it pays any attention to
the evidence. Suppose it should be guild
ed by the evidence and declare Dreyfus
innocent! Would not there be great out
cry against the courtmartial? Would no,
the people who had got their impressions
of the trial from the newspapers which
are giving false Impressions of the evil
dence be easily Influenced to attack the
government, and to attempt a revolution?
They certainly would, and France would
see some very troublous times.
The army and the newspapers which are
supporting the army's side of the Dreyfus
case, pretend 10 be apprehensive of some
great calamity to France il Dreyfus should
be acquitted. They do not seem 10 real
ize chat nothing so disastrous could hap
pen to France as the conviction of Dreyfus
without evidence of his guilt The people
would get hold of the truth and they would
not be satisfied until every one responsible
for the great wrong done an innocent man
had been punished The ruin that would
be wrought before that was accomplished
would be very great
The French newspapers which are mis-
leading the people in the Dreyfus case are
doing their country a great wrong. II is
far better from every point of view that
the truth should be known. BY letting the
facts come before the public as they are
disclosed at the courtmardal, the public
mind would be gradually prepared for the
verdict of acquittal which it seems the
courtmartial must render. By creating
the impression that there is no chance for
Dreyfus' acquittal the way is being pre-
pared for an outbreak of popular wrath
that may overturn the government in the
event of his acquittal.

THE ADDRESS OF THE COLORED
LEADERS


The address Of the negro preachers and
other negro leaders in McIntoSh county
10 their people. which We published yes
terSay, Is able weH-tempered and we'll
timed and win doubtless do much towards
allayine the bad feeling among the blacks.
The whole story Of the trouble at Darien
and vicinity seems 10 show that there We're
misap prehensions all around. The white
people thought the blacks wanted TO res
cue Delegal, or do something to help him
escape from the officers of the law, and
the blacks thought the whites wanted 20
lynch him. Had the colored leaders put
their hea%s together sooner and quleted
the loud-mouthed black men and women,
and especially the latter. there would
have been no trouble But good work IS
better done late than never. and the ad-
dress will undoubtedly do good. 1t is pos
sible that the presence of the soldiers
gave the law abiding and order-loving ne
gro leaders the backbone to stand up for
the right, and to say in plain words what
they could not have said earlier.
1t is probable that the incident"
in Mcintosh will come to a close, with
the trial and conviction of those who VIC
lated or deied the law; and In connection
with the trials it is to be hoped that jus
tce will be tempered with mercy.
With the passing of this incident, would
it not be wise for the newspapers large
and small, to tactly agree among them
selves to quit CHASING such disturbances
as race wars?" Recently II has become
the custom with a pretty considerable
part of the newspaper press to magnify
every little clash between black and white
individuals into race war" no matter
how insignificant the cause or conse-
quences of such a clash. II should be re-
membered that there have always been
friction and fights between white men and
black men, and between men of other
races as well; and there will always be
such troubles, as long as differing
races come into contact with each other
But these do not constitute race wars
There may come time some day when
there will be a war of the races, but that
time is in the distant future. There could
be no such conflict under present con-
diuons, because before an uprising on
the part of either party could reach more
than the proportions of a riot the civil
and military authorities would put it
down. 1t is worse than foolish, there
fore, for either whites or blacks to talk
about a race war" every time there is
friction between a few individuals of the
races. and for the newspapers to print
the alarming headline, Race War" over
their stories of local alterations or riots
Such sensationalism is harmful. There
are, and will continue to be bad negroes
who viii commit heinous crimes, ana
there are and will continue to be white
men who viii lynch them, and thus defy
the laws made for the safety OF society.
Such affairs, however, are local, and
should be treated precisely as other local
crimes are treated.

Answered His own Letter.

A certain young railroad man who has
charge of a department in the auditing
branch of his company's business, had oc-
casion recently to dictate a letter to the
head of a corresponding department of
another road, says the Chicago News
There was a point in dispute between
the two railroads involving money, and
this young official had taken a stubborn
ground that the other official was totally
at fault and advanced what seemed to
him unanswerable arguments to prove it,
A short time after he had forwarded the
letter he received proposition from head
quarters of the other railroad, which he
accepted, and within few days he be-
came the head of the department with
which he had been in dispute
The first letter which he found on fila
ready to be answered was his own on the
point in question. There was only one
thing to do. He Immediately dictated an
answer to his own letter, refuting and
repudiadng its arguments, and wound up
by heated insinuation that the writer
OF it was an unmitigated donkey. or
course, the letter was addressed to him
self and signed by himself, but in his en-.
thusiasm for the interests of his new en-
ployer he did not mind a little thing like
that.

NOT A SATISFACTORY PLAN.

The New York Journal the only paper
of any Importance In New York city which
supported Mr.. Bryan In 1885 endorses a
plan for securing harmony In the Demo-
cratic party which provides that the
issues contained IN the Chicago platform
shall be reafirmed in a paragraph, and
that the platform Of 1890 shall be devoted
TO the new issues. We cannot see how
this plan would promote harmony in the
ranks OF the Democracy.
What is the difference between the con-
tending factions of the party? one fac
ton says the party cannot win in 1900 Il
the l6 to l idea is made an issue. The
other fac, don doesn't say whether 1t be-
lieves the party can win with that issue
or not, but it expresses a determination
to make that issue prominent In 1900.
What viii be gained by reafirming the
16 to l issue, along with other issues of
the Chicago platform. In a paragraph
rather than giving them prominence-such
prominence as they have in the Chicago
platform? The Is to / issue viii be in the
platform, and the understanding will be
that If the party is successful no effort
OF silver free at the ratio Of l6 to l. The
putting Of the silver plank in the back
ground with a simple endorsement. will
not make the opposition to silver less de
termined or effective.
Indeed, IL is a question whether II
wouldn't do the Democratic party positive
harm to push silver in the background I'M
less il meant to abandon the ratio feature
of che silver question. To push it into the
background for the purpose of keeping
out of sight for while, but with the in
tention to make it the leading feature of
the party's policy in the event of the per
tvs being entrusted with power, would
not tend to increase the popularity of. or
strengthen the confidence of the people IN
the party.
Ii seems to us that the party must 10
one Of two things: 1t must either drop
the l6 to l issue altogether or give 1t the
prominence in the platform in 1900 its i'm
portance entities it to. II the Democratic
party intends to stand by the Is TO ra-
ito, there is no way in which that fact
can be kept from the knowledge of the
people during the campaign. If it were in
the platform at all, either as a reaffirma-
ton of the Chicago platform or as a new
declaration, the opposition would force it
20 the front. In fact 1t would be a diff
cult matter to get public attention direct
ed to any othet issue
There are Of course strong reasons Tor
not dropping the IS to l issue. but it is a
question whether they are as strong, from
the standpoint Of party success, as are
the reasons for aband. ming the ratio fea-
ture of the silver question altogether.

The Kaiser's Sermon and the Sleepy
SniIOr.

sailor.
A good story about the Kaiser comes
to the Christian World from Berlin. 1t
is well known that his majesty, during
his annual trip on board the Hohenzol-
lern to the Norwegian fords, is in the
habit of conducting divine service every
Sunday morning. He usually reads q
short liturgy and follows the prayers
with sermon, not of his own compo-
stion, but from the collection of some
well-known German divine. During his re-
cent trip the officers of the Hohenzoern
noticed that a sailor, during divine serv-
ice. either overcome by the heat or from
some other cause, had fallen fast asleep.
Their CONSERVATION was great, and they
were relieved when the imperial sermon
came to an end and the sailor Wakened
with a start. After the service the cap
tain called the sailor before him, gave him
a sound rating, and sentenced him to two
days arrest. Now it happens that on Sun
day afternoons on board the Hohenzol-
lern it is the Kaiser's custom to hear the
captains report of the events of the pre-
ceding week If any sailor has distin~
guished himself the Kaiser shakes hands
with him or says a few kindly words; if
a sailor has been punished the Kaiser
hears the details. The captain reported
the incident Of the sleeping sailor and the
punishment inflicted on him.
WAS he on the watch the night before?"
asked the Kaiser.
He was your majesty"
Then let the poor devil off. Besides, it
wasn't much of sermon, any how"

South Cardinals income tax law seems
to be pretty much a farce. 1t is said hard
~ anybody, except congressman, judicial
officers and an extremely few business
men, pays any attention to it. The law
provides that all incomes Of s.. 500 per year
and over shall pay tax. In 1898 less than
$40 900 was collected in the whole state. and
it is believed that the collections for the
current year viii be 10 per cent. less than
that sum. In Richland county. in watch
Columbia, the capital, is situated, and
where there are a number of men supposed
to receive good incomes only seven men
have made returns of incomes for taxation.
while the city of Charleston pays less than
5000 of income taxes. In two-thirds of
che counties Of the state no income taxes
are received and none are assessed. As
things are going now, il would not be sur
prisng if the income tax law should be-
come dead letter on the books.

A Famous BIunderer.

n. Calino, the popular French simple
ton. who performs in the humorous l!tera-
ture of France much the same function
that the traditional Paddy does in English
literature, has been made the subject Of Il
grave study, in which his innocent stupid
tiles are carefully analysed, says the Bos-
ton Traveller. He is nothing more or less
than a convenient perscnlication of a
type Of The harmless blunderer and com
placent lack-wit found in all ages and
countries. In France his sayings reflect,
however. something of the picturesque
ness which characteristic Of the nation.
Calinos blunderings il seems began at
an early age. He had not craft enough
TO tell lie that would hold water for a
moment One day at school he got into
a fight with companion, and came home
with a cash on his forehead.
How did you get that cut?" asked the
father.
What cut, papa?"
why, that great cash on your fore
head"
Il bit myself there, papa"
"Blt yourself! Why, you couldn't bite
yourself on your forehead"
Il got up on a chair to do II, papa
Later in life Calino delivered himself of
the following bit of wisdom:
LAS for me, l don't care so much for the
sun as l do for the moon. You see, the
sun only comes after it gets daylight, when
We could see just as well without il, but
the moons some use-it shines at night"
Early one morning, when Calino was cut
with mis- gun. he saw a robin in the gar
den OF his friend Camille He aimed at it,
but it dropped below the top of the wall.
Then Calino went into the house, crept up
stairs softly, stole into Candles bedroom
without waking Camille, who was in bed
pointed his gun out of the window at the
robin and fred-bang,
Camille leaped out of bed in wild con-
fusion and alarm.
''Why-w-why-w-w the mat
ter?'
"Oh, did I wake you up" said Calino
Il pulled the trigger just as softly as 1
could"
