WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

Tho min of tbe Palisades being so deplOrable,
II Is quite natural that the Indignation OF those
who are keenly sensible Of the loss should be IN
large measure directed against the contractors
engaged in the business of destruction. Ihey
seem to be conducting their operations In SIN
gularly ruthless manner, and the selection OF
their chief points of attack even suggests the
thought that they are eager to create the great
est Dossible havoc in the shortest possible time,
so that when public sentiment becomes strong
enough TO assert itself there will be nothing
worth saving We do not say that this Is their
motive. for we have no positive proof that it is;
but some of their work has that appearance
There is n vast amount Of broken rock already
living within convenient reach which might he
nrofitably removed with less trouble than the
process of blasting involves; but it is not
touched. while the most picturesque parts OF the
cliff are successfully blown down.
But nevertheless It Is only fair to say that the
blame for these acts Of spoation does not rest
pr,marily on the men who directly commit them
They have acquired by lease or otherwise a
legal right TO do what they are doing. They
have made investments from which they want
to derive profit 1t is true that many persons
would much rather be engaged in almost any
other DuSlUcSs WHICH, tuS law 'oiV'"SS N-',- -
tho one we are considering. but so long as the
people of New-York and New-Jersey neglect 10
take efrectual measures for the preservation OF
the Palisades. because they are wholly ndifer-
ont or so far Indifferent as TO be unwilling to
nav comparatively small sum Of money to pro-
tect them. II is not altogether just to hold the
contractors up 10 execratlon. AT one time ana
another considerable interest in the question has
been manifested by both States, or at least by
| their Legislatures, and there was once joint
commission appointed from whose endeavor'
good results were expected. But while the com
mission delberated the destruction went on, anc
! from its recommendations nothing whatever mas
thus far resulted The plain fact is that interes
/ ir the preservation OF the Palisades Is not gen
eral and strong enough TO accomplish the objec
| on which n minority Is. and long has been, seri
ously intent That Is the fatal feature OF th'
| situation. and II tells where the chief measure
blame and discrcdit lies. II would be highl!
! honorable. no doubt in the quarry operators Il
| stop blasting, let their investments take care o
themselves and give the people an object lessor
IN magnanimity. But isn't II too much 10 ex
pect that they will show deep and costly con
Germ for the works OF nature while vast ma
tority of their fellow citizens show no concerl
| whatsoever?
OF course, the Palisades-wbat there Is left o
tbem-ought to be preserved. That is propo

A NEW TRIAL FOR DREJFCS.

The French Court OF Cessation has ordered
q new trial for Dreyfus In doing so it has
acted in accord with reason, truth and JUS
tice. Indeed, 1t could not have done other
wise without utter disqualification. Two
years ago or more there was ground for expect
ing that II would do so If the case were ever
brought before IT, Months ago. when NJ. Brls
son sent the case to 1t, that expectation deep
aned into confidence. A few days ago conf
dence became certainty. There have hitherto
been many reproaches of French justice and
they have not been undeserved. Yesterdays
work redeemed France from them all. There
are judges in Paris. OF that there is no longer
room for doubt And we shall presently. we
may be sure, see that there are judges at
Rennes, and that there is honor in the French
Army other than that of which Walsln- Ester
hazy was recently proclaimed the represent
alive and guardian.
Dreyfus, then, will forthwith be brought
home to France. Devils Isle will speedily be-
come. as we hoped yesterday the place not
where he is. but where he was. He will be
