WHY ArlERICANS LIKE DEWEY.

Americans hold Dewey in high
esteem because he has given abund-
ant evidence that he is more than a
sea commander. During his long
stay at Manila he shone as diplo-
matist and a manager of men. He
maintained his own dignity and that
of his country. He got his Govern
ment into no disagreeable complica-
tons. He curbed the bumptiousness
of the German Admiral without dis
turbing the amicable relations of the
two nations. He won the respect of
other foreign officers, naval and civil.
He did not commit himself with the
Filipinos, and he did nothing to
estrange them. He displayed during
the long and trying months those
qualities of caution, prudence and
adaptability to men and to circum-
stances which one does not expect to
find, as rule, in the blunt sailor.

DREYEUS.

Drevfus is free. That is much,
and for that the prosecuted man has
to thank the intelligent and impartial
world outside of France, who, as it
were, sat side by side with the
military court at Rennes, heard all
the evidence and went step by step
with the court through the whole So
called ..revision." Honest and i'm
partial, it saw how complete failure
was the attempt to make any case at
all against Dreyfus, and when, never
theless, he was again pronounced
guilty, the indignant world at once
let France know what it thought of a
transaction so atrocious and mex
cusable; and thus public opinion,
though not even French public
opinion, superseded the finding of the
military tribunal, and the Govern
ment at Paris has released the &C
cused almost as if the verdict of the
court had been mot guilty." or
whatever is the equivalent pronounce
ment of French court.
But that does not satisfy the de-
mands of justice and innocence, and
Dreyfus and his friends who have so
faithfully stood by him announce
that the struggle for his complete
rehabilitation as a citizen and soldier
will be continued with undated
vigor until some competent tribunal
shall pronounce him, not only not
guilty, but the victim of plot
concocted and carried out by the
most abandoned scoundrels, with the
aid of Generals and other officers and
friends of the army who were pre-
JUDGED against the released prisoner
on account of his race and religion,
and eager to find scapegoat for the
army and some of its magnates. But
Dreyfus is free, and that tells the
tale,-Norfolk Virgiaian and Pilot.

ALTHOUGH the year is not quite
three-fourths gone, the State has thus
far chartered TWENTY-FIVE cotton mills
since January l. We have not the
figures before us and do not know
what the other Southern States are
doing along this line. but we do
know that this is a good showing for
North Carolina. and what is better.
we do not expect for it to stop here.
There is plenty OF uninvested capital
in this State, and the success of the
mills already established will en-
courage others to make similar in

sure of satisfactory returns. Success
begets confidence. and the cotton
mills OF this State have been wonder
fully ccessful.-Durham Herald

the black bass--how the female hovers
in the rifles below her bed where the
eggs containing the future jumper are
hidden, and how she will carry care
fully to one side all drift and debris
and deposit it where the current will
not wash it over the nest. Well, n
farmer fisherman out on Big Darby
knew where there was an abnormally
developed bass Of great avoirdupois.
In vain he tried to coax that bass to
swallow a fat minnOw to which was
attached a hook as big as a cotton
bale grapple. The willy bass refused
to swallow the lure. but each time as
the minnow drifted over her bed she
would rush out, grab it gingerly by the
tail and carry it away. The farmer
was in despair, but finally an idea
struck him that was like searchlight
in its brilliancy. He got a big double
jawed steel trap, set it right on the
nest, and after all the excitement
evinced by the bass at this unwonted
disturbance in her nursery had sub
sided, he once more dangled the poor
minnow over the nest and between the
jaws of the trap. Mrs. Bass made her
rush, hit the trap pan slap bang, and
was caught. With a whoop like the
whistle of a harbor tug the granger
splashed into the Darby and bore his
almost decapitated prize to dry land
He had conquered, but had used 9th
er lure than hook and line"
