Col. PicQuart.

From the New York Tribune.
If Dreyfus has been the victim, Picquart
has been the hero. He supposed Dreyfus
to have been justly condemned. He was de-
tailed to close up the case and file away
the papers. He then disc overed that~Drey-
fus was innocent and that EsterhaZy was
guilty. He told his superiors of his dis
c0very. They told him to mind his own
business, to maintain the guilt Of, Dreyfus
was to obey Them deny the truth, and win
promotion and rewards, or to stand bravely
for truth and justice, and be punished and
degraded. He chose the latter course. I'M
m ediately the military authorities showed
their displeasure. They removed him from
his place. supplanting him with more
plant tool. They sent him off to Africa on
the most dangerous mission they could de-
wise, just as David put Uriah in the fore
front of the battle. AS he did not get killed
they recalled him to France, arrested him
as a criminal and threw him into prison. 1t
is presumed that they tried their best to
induce him to commit suicide Probably,
falling that, they would have had him muir
dered in his cell had he not given public
warning that IL he were found dead in
prison 1t would be case not of suicide but
of murder. So they let him live. They
were ready at any time to release him an
promote him IL he would deny the truth.
But lie was too high a price for him to
pay, even for liberty and life. Today he is
a free man once more, and he has not de-
De Iauded as hero simply for being hon
est? Not generally. But bear in mind
that this man stood among Henry and Es-
terhaZy and Du Patty de Clam not to men
ton others of higher rank Among the
pima the one-eyed man Is king.

MIR, Bland.

The country will hope that the improve
ment IN Mr.. BANDS condition may con-
tinue. He has been very sick man; but
at sixty-five his recuperative powers ought
to be strong, and men of all parties and sec
tons will be glad to see him on his feet
again and preparing for the work of the
next Congress. He loves a stiff congress
sional battle, and one Is on the cards
which, If he lives to participate in it, will
develop his fighting qualities to the full.
One has only to consider the outline of the
currency measure to be brought forward in
the House next winter to realize how much
the occasion will appeal to a man of Mr..
BANDS temperament and convictions.
The Missouri leader is acclaimed as the
father Of the present silver cause. He has
certainly done more than any other one man
to keep the cause vital. He has devoted
his whole public life to 1t. and at times has
stood with but small following to en-
courage him. He has borne up under many
defeats, and. be 1t said to his credit, under
none SO well as that which befen him In
1896. when q much younger man came
with a rush to the front and the veterans
one and all were eclipsed. Mr. Bland did
not sulk for a moment, and has not sulked
since.
His, however, was no unusually hard for
tune. Others have suffered al he did. It is
given to but few public men tes realize
for themselves upon the issues~fhey make
And 1t Is but the truth to say that Mr..
Bland could not have made the campaign
that Mr.. Bryan made. The occasion, as
was soon disclosed. called for the younger
and more magnetic man. Mr.. Bland, with
all his reputation for sincerity and straight
fcrwardness. and the interest that at
tached to him as tho father of the chap
ell" could never have stirred the country

Unjust Criticism of M. Dupuy,

This statement appears in one of the
stories from Paris:
Two deputies who have supported NJ
Dupuy confessed in the Hobbies to a con-
viction that he made great mistake yes
terday in covering the Bots de Boulogne
and Longchamp with sabers and bayonets,
thus rendering NJ. Loubet ridiculous, see
ing that there was not single serious
demonstration against him anywhere"
There may be room to question the wis
dom of NJ. Dupuys course Monday in
throwing up the premiership, but surely
none in fairness as to his course in pro-
viding on Sunday against a renewal of
hostile demonstrations directed at Presi-
dent Loubet. There had been distinct
challenge, which neither the premier nor
the president could ignore. The president
on the Sunday previous had been grossly
attacked in public while a guest at a race
meeting. The affront was not only in
famous, but was participated in by men
prominent in Partisan society. 1t was no
mere mean demonstration of the gutter,
but gave every sign of being a feature of
regular program whose object was revo-
luton and whose agents possessed power.
The thing for the government to do,
therefore, was to meet the emergency
President Loubet had already accepted an
invitation for the following Sunday to wit
ness another turf event, and he had either
to forego that, or take precautions against
the mob. The latter step was determined
upon, with the result now recorded The
mob, which had been SO noisy and agrees
sive when President Loubet was unpre-
pared, was mute and afraid IN the pres
ence Of the authorities thoroughly awake,
and the presidents visit to the race track
was made without a single insulting out
burst on the part of the hostile portion of
the crowds. - -, ~ -.
This was not only the proper but it was
the necessary thing to do. Had President
Loubet Cancelled his acceptance of the in
yitation he would have invited the de-
rision of the country. Had NJ. Dupuy
failed to provide against the Vaccinations
of the mob, and had the proceedings of the
preceding Sunday been repeated, he would
have been justly denounced in all quarters.
The mob was foiled. 1t was ready. 1t
is not an edifying sight when the president
Of republic rides abroad surrounded by
drawn sabers, but it is a better one than
when he suffers himself to be penned up
at home afraid to move.

form suddenly out Of the eddies OF greater
and more sluggish disturbances and sweep
with increasing intensity over narrow paths
with erratic method. The Mississippi wa
tershed seems to be the theater of their
operations. East OF the Alleghenies and
west of the Rockies they seldom appear.
Efforts have been made by scientists to
solve the problem of their periodicity and
cause and to understand the strange cir
cumstance of their local occurrence. But
at best there is only a theory that in this
trough-shaped territory the temperatures
are such as to cause the quick development
of the storms which under other circum-
stances require longer periods for their pro-
duction and cover broader areas with less
force.
This is very like answering the query by
declaring that the cyclones of the Missis-
sippi valley occur because conditions there
prevalent permit them to occur However
unsatisfactory may be the reply of science
thus far to the question, the fact remains
that one of the most serious blights upon
the prosperity of the great middle west Is
this exposure TO the sudden ferocity of the
elements, threatening life, crops and prop
erty. Residence under such conditions is
hazardous. The hardy pioneer of the early
times doubtless found this same battle of
the winds before him IN addition to the
fight against drought and grasshoppers and
the perils from Indians. The Indians are
practically subdued but the droughts aid
the grasshoppers and the cyclones remain
to make life in the great farming states I'M
certain and to aid in the development of a
hardy, perservering people.
Will the cycles or science bring relief to
this beautiful portion of the country? The
experiments at artificial rain-making have
not met with success, but irrigation has
brought material aid to many arid re-
gions. The entomologists have, on the
other hand, made some progress toward
the eradication of certain insect pests
and may in season find some pro-
cess of campaigning by pitting benevolent
bugs against malevolent ones which will
rid the farmer of one of his most serious
menaces. The cyclone, however, promises
to prove a stubborn obstacle to a complete
domination over the forces which detract
from the beauties and advantages of one
of the most fertile and inviting regions on
the globe.

Flag Day.

by general arrangement the people today
are Observing the anniversary known as
nag day., noting the adoption by the
Continental Congress of the emblem of tbe
American republic. 1t is a day worthy of
remembrance. 1t gave to the world a ban
ner Of exceptional beauty and boundIess
significance. That flag, after floating for
over a century only on this continent in its
territorial right, has now been carried into
other parts of the world. Since flag dav
was last celebrated it has been hoistea To
stay in Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philip-
pines. IL has also been hoisted Temporarily
IN Cuba as a token of the guardianship
which the United States is exercising over
we recovering community. The popular
soice today is for the continuance of the
Jag in those places where 1t now repre-
sents final sovereignty. Hawaii has Ionged
for 1t for some years, and there has been
an equal desire on this side for the right
TO hoist it there permanently 1t was once
hauled down under ignominious cireum
stances. but only for a time did it disap-
pear from the islands as symbol of gov
eminent Porto Rico has welcomed it as
the emblem of peace and prosperity, of
freedom and happiness The process of as
similation is progressing in that island with
eAcepliOHaI rapiulty. Inc nag has been
raised there to stay. In the Philippines to-
day our brave troops are fighting to sup
port the flag which has been hoisted in
token Of the American ownership and the
purpose to give good government to the
inhabitants. 1t is being carried into the
various provinces, in some places rapidly,
In others more slowly as the opposition of
few selfish leaders has melted the peo-
pie to a losing strife That it will eventual
ly cover the entire archipelago and bring
comfort and enlightenment and all the
blessings of free government is not to
be questioned. That it will remain without
limit of time is accepted by the people to-
day despite the doubts and the assaults of
handful of opposition agitators. AND
with each recurring year flag day is bound
to become more and more significant of
the spread of American institutions and
benefcence. 1t is proper that on such an
occasion the children IN the public schools
should be told the meaning of the emblem
the story of It's origin and the new force
which late events have given to it as a
world Regeneration.
