THE pnEyFus REVOLUTION.

There never was more complete revo-
htion. both as to conditions and pubhc
sentiment. than that which has taken
place in France in connection with the
Dreyfus case. Notwithstanding the over
whelming evidence that Dreyfus was INC
victim OF an atrocious conspiracy, IL any
man had ventured TO predict tweNe
months ago that the present situation
would obtain, he would have peeh 10
garded as a fit subject for an insane ass-
INN. Then the unfortunate ofiicers peiSe-
cntors were on the top wave or popular

AFTERMATH OF THE KIDNAPPING

The World and the Journal both print
confession made by the nurse girl, car
RE Jones. alias Belle Anderson, alias Mrs.
Pine. in the presence OF witnesses. she
declares that George Beauregard Barrow
alias Wilson. and his wife induced her
10 kidnap Baby Marion Clark and hold
her for a ransom. She was to get half
the money, and they were to secrete the
child. Further, she AYERS that she had
no sooner committed the crime than she
was dreadfully sorry for it, and begged
vainIy. to be allowed to take Marion back
to Mrs. Clark.
Carrie Jones was arrested at Summit
n. j., whittier she had fed from New
York, for which purpose Barrow gave
her $40, after the missing child was found
in his wife's possession near HaYerstraw.
From a statement made by her to a
newspaper reporter it appears that she
was secretly married last September TO
George Pine, a stationary engineer, who
is now employed at Newport. She says
the letter signed Three was written
by Mrs. Barrow.
There is going TO be great squabble as
to whether the Barrows shall be tried
| where they We're arrested, or In New
York city. SO far, the Rockland county
authorities have declined TO give up their
prisoners or permit the New York police
so much as to see them.
Barrow is the son of Little Rock
| (Ark) judge, and has had some training
| in the law. In New York he found en-
| ployment as an automobile motorman.
He had a good deal of money upon his
person when arrested; but where he got
II Is a mystery.
The maximum penalty for kidnapping In
the State of New York is fifteen years

THE COMMON COUNCIL NOW.

The monthly meeting Of the Common
Council is TO be held tomorrow evening,
when the report Of its Committee on
Streets will be presented. recommending
the granting Of franchises for the Main
street depot and connections.
We do not know whether the current
business which will claim the cOnsidera-
fion Of the Council will be much or little.
bln in the former case it may be that the
Council will defer the consideration Of
the franchises till Tuesday.
There is now. practically speaking, no
difference of opinion in the community
es TO the propriety of the legislation ask
ed for Tho votes in the Committee on
Streets showed an overwhelming majority
in that body in favor Of the ordinances.
We expect TO find the franchises equally
as much favored In the Common Council
as in the committee. Prompt and de-
cisive action is. therefore. to be expected.
The delays which occurred while the
question was before the subcommittee
caused the position Of our city TO be mis-
understood and were harmful. Investi-
cation and discussion ought to be en-
couraged and extended to all reasonable
limits, but diatory tactics should not be
tolerated. Indeed, the sentiment of the
Richmond public on this subject is now
30 pronounced and so well understood,
we doubt if such tactics will be tried.
What IL wished by the people Of Rich
mond is, that there shall be careful con-
sideration Of the ordinances, followed by
q quick decision as TO whether they are
worthy or unworthy Of our acceptance
our advices are that as soon as the two
ordinances become laws the Chesapeake
o Vi Ohio and the Richmond, Petersburg
and Carolina Railway companies will
hasten to work. Their plans involve the
expenditure of much labor and money
and IL is TO be regretted they cannot be
at work during this fine weather.

THE WOMEN WIN.

Public sentiment in this community has
settled down solidly in favor Of the city
ordinance which prohibits splitting in pub
lie places.
The cutlery made by few when the
authorities undertook the enforcement OF
the law has been drowned in the chorus
of general approval. Hereafter we shall
see our sidewalks, public halls, street.
car floors etc, free from pools Of spittle.
IL is understood that the police will use
discretion in the enforcement of the law.
They will not seek TO make it "odious, "
nor TO involve in trouble conscientious and
good citizens who thoughtlessly offend;
but they will be expected TO break up tie
street-corner-spitting Journeys.
At some corners on Broad street. on
sidewalks over Which thousands Of ladies
daily pass. men have been in the habit
of congregating and corning the pave
ment with AMBER. Such offenders will
be promptly reported and properly pun
iShed.
There Is another class OF spitters that
ought TO be- reported without fail-to-wit:
. Men who, I'm the presence of the police,
banteringly or wantonly break the law
In cases where men deliberately set out
20 court trouble for themselves, the police
cannot refuse TO accommodate them.
We believe the law in question Will grow
IA popular favor. When once we have be
come accustomed TO having spittle-free
sidewalks and street-car floors, and pub
lie halls, the sentiment of the community
win revolt against returning to the un'
cieanness OF other days.
BY the way. we wish to say In justice
20 the great majority OF the tobacco
ehewers of Richmond that, almost with
out exception. they have acqueseed In tho
new law. 1t was enough for them tC
know that the ladies Of the city lookec
