The small number of votes polled
on Saturday at the School election
in the different wards throughout
the city shows that little or no in
terest is taken in the selection of
the men to represent the tax payers
in the School Board. We have not
one word to say against the person
ality Of the twelve men chosen on
Saturday. They should make ex-
cellent members as we'll as useful
ones If they give their new duties
the time they should. Several of
those defeated for the Board have
been very useful members and will
be greatly missed from the import
ant committees on which they have
served for years. There should be
law passed that all candidates
running for the Board of Education
should be required to hand in their
names ten days before the day of
election.
The new School Board meets this
Eyspina ier organization when the
twelve new members will be sworn
in and a president elected.

The French are an excitable ma
ton. Saturday 1t required fifteen
thousand armed men to protect
President Loubet while he drove to
Long Champs to attend the Grand
Prix. The course taken was from
Elysee Palace to the race course,
and the soldiers were very much in
evidence to prevent any attack be-
ing made on the President by the
friends of the Roy alists. NJ. Lou
bet practically drove through
double hedge of steel. A line OF
infantry even stood around the race
course between the public and the
course on which no one was allowed
to walk between the races, while
several Republican guards were
patroling the course itself. They
have hasty way of doing things in
France and it looks sometimes as if
the Republic was doomed; but thus
far it has survived all agitation to
set up an empire once more.
WE have been authorized to say
to the readers of the REPUBLICAN,
that the Schilling Dry Goods Com
pany located at No 3l4 Market,
will dispose Of the three prizes Of
fered by them to the person holding
the lucky number in -Ssrtcmbcr, as
advertised by the Dry Goods Com
pany. The fight which has been
made against Mr.. Peter ]. Ford by
the Evening Journal will in noman-
ner whatever injure any of the bust
ness enterprises in which he is in
terested The hasty action of one
Government official will in no way
interfere in the drawing of the
prizes offered by the Schilling Dry
Goods firm. 1t begins to look as if
Peter J. Ford was the man who
was being prosecuted by the editor
OF the Journal.

Mr.. DAVID A. LINDSAY, one Of the

the persistent attacks on that con-

upon without hunting for any other
proof.

The acme of up to date smartness is
to own and operate an automobile. In
Paris the use of the horseless carriage
has become craze Along the Boule-
ward Haussmann, the Avenue Bos de
Boulogne and the Champs Elysees au-
tomobiles are on pleasant afternoons
as plentiful as equipages drawn by
horses. 1t is estimated by the time of

first woman to propel her own motor
carriage along the boulevards and
through the Bois. Her son. who early
became devoted to automobiling. was
her companion. They were noted
Scorchers and had at least one en-
counter with the authorities. They
were enjoined from further fast riding.

Versailles or Fontainebleu. 1t is no
unusual thing for parties to start early
in the morning and make the run to
Versailles in three hours. distance of
over 40 miles. They take breakfast
at the end of the trip. the breakfast
having been ordered in advance at ho-
tel or club by the host or hostess.
Very ardent automobilists even make
the trip to Nice or Trouville, Monte
Carlo or other fashionable resorts in
their horseless carriages, sometimes
sending the machines back by rail and
returning In thar way.
The European motor carriages are
large and supplied with every con-
venience for long trips. and as conti-
mental railway carriages are far from
models of luxury the auto carriages
are appreciated by the very rich.
Even baby carriages In Paris are now
supplied with automatic motors, so
that the nursemaids in the Bois de
Boulogne have practically a sinecure
and unrivaled leisure for flirting with
the tall gendarmes
In America. particularly in Newport,
New York and Chicago, the use of the
automobile is rapidly becoming a IA
vorite diversion of society. Many
wealthy families expect next season to
dispense with their horses and use
the horseless carriages entirely. The
cost is less and the convenience great
er. Besides, it is now considered the
ultra chic thing to do.
The cost of an automobile is about
$1,000. The American horseless ear

By sleight of hand performance in
the face of the whole civilized world
Dreyfus has been again convicted by a
French court martial of the greatest
crime known among men-high trea-
son-and that too, Notwithstanding
the fact that his innocence is clear as
crystal. AS man who has devoted 20
of the best years of his life to trying
criminal cases | write it down as my
deliberate opinion that there is not a
scintilla of evidence on which to base
a conviction. The talk about presump-
tive evidence is all bosh In this coun-
try man could not be convicted for
assault and battery ON such miserable
rubbish. The truth is that Dreyfus
was convicted both times simply and
solely because he is a Jew, to my mind
the poorest reason in the world
Since we have started ia to reform
al. creation and have assumed the
duty OF carrying the blessings of lib
erty and settled government to the ut
termost ends of the earth am in IA
yor OF giving these French Jew baiters
dose that will go a long way toward
bringing them TO their senses This
can be done by Withdrawing our appro-
priation for making a nationalaexhibit
at the Paris Worlds exposition. and l
serve notice now that on the first day
congress meets l will introduce a bill
to that effect and viii do all that in
me lies to force its passage. l may or
may not succeed, but l will do my best.
The DTeyfus trial is a disgrace to re-
publican institutions. That a man
should be prosecuted for being a Jew
in the blazing light of the closing days
of the nineteenth century is a PROPOSE
tion 700 wild for belief if we did not
see the fact before our very eyes. 1t
takes us back to the evil times of King
John. the meanest most poltroonish
and most contemplate of all English
monarchs. when he ordered that Isaac
of York, father of the beautiful Re-
becca, should have his teeth pulled
and should be roasted over a slow fire
in order to make him give up his
wealth. Indeed, the Jew of King Johns
day was not so tortured as Dreyfus
has been, for a five years stay in an
iron cage on Devils island is punish
ment such as most of the Plantagenets
had not the power to infiict. That
such crime against the most ancient
race of people in the world-for that's
what the Jews are-shouid be perpe
trated by a government calling itself
republican is monstrous. We can cas-
lily and promptly show our condemna-
tion of such preposterous brutality by
promptly withdrawing our appropria
ton for the Paris exposition exhibit.
BY letting that appropriation stand we
will be condoning this inhuman per-
formance, done in the sacred name of
liberty
