MAY JUSTICE BE DONE.

The court of cessation in France has
reversed the verdict that sent Dreyfus
into exile, and ordered a new trial for
the famous prisoner. The world will re-
joice over this partial atonement for
a national crime. outside military Cir
cles in Paris it has long been believed
that Dreyfus was the innocent victim Of
prejudice, and that his conviction was
due to the %forgeries of the contemplate
Esterhazy.
The crime alleged was so in
it's character, so destructive to the safety
Of the government-being the selling of
military secrets to a foreign that
public indignation ran high among the
nervous and excitable frog-eaters of the
gay French capital. Even Zola, the lit
erary pride of France, narrowly escaped
the fury Of the mob when he lifted his
voice in behalf of the prosecuted Jew.
But time is said to make all things
even, though it must be admitted that
the evening up process often gives short
weight in the scales of justice. It was
only after a number of confessed for
geries. and the accidental discovery of
certain things that pointed to the guilt
of F~Isterhazy that Dreyfus secured a
new trial. With ill-disguised reluctance
the military authorities have gradually
yielded to public pressure and a con-
fessed their error in sending Dreyfus to
Devils island.
It is quite likely that the second trial
will result in his acquittal-that little il
any evidence will be produced against
him. Then look out for another here
perched for a brief time on the frothy
summit Of French enthusiasm! Verify,
they are a great people.

LIKE AN ARROW.

~
The shark is generally considered tho
most dangerous of deep sea fish. While he
IS the most voracious recent investigation
by the British government shows that he
IS not the most dangerous, since a small
hsh, met with sometimes in shoals, is often
as destructive of human life. The garfsh
never grows to an imposing length. 1t has
a long, sharp beak, which gives it an ar
roW-like shape. This living arrow, when
alarmed, dashes out from the water and
goes soaring away over the surface in short
bounds with such force thai when it strikes
a foreign body it either passes through it or
lnf1icts painful and serious wounds. An
fhgllsn cff1cer was struck by one on the
peak or his cap. This resulted in an inyes-
tigation by a representative of the British
government, and it was found that men
had lost their lives from this cause.

THE FAULT or SILVER DEMOCRATS.

Though a large proportion of the dele
gates attending the Trans-Mississippi
congress at Wichita were from silver
states. and a still larger proportion were
men of democratic proclivitles, it is note
worthy that the resolutions adopted con
tain no reference to the free coinage of
silver. Had there been a concensus of
opinion that the bimetallic question would
become the paramount issue IN 1900, some
expression would have appeared either
for or against the proposition. Ii the
silver men were in a majority in that
body they could have passed a resolu-
ton embodying their views; if in a mi
nority they could have made a deter
mined fight that would have called out
a single standard resolution. and thus
served to keep the issue before the, peo-
pie, under the inference that the gold
men had captured the congress and con-
trolled it's expressions.
But as the resolutions omit all refer
ence to the silver issue, the oversight can
be attributed to a desire on the part of
the democratic members to avoid a step
that might force silver to the front as
a leading issue, and thus prevent the two
wings of the national democracy from
getting together in 1900. The steps al
ready taken by western democrats, by
way of ignoring the advice of their ma
tional silver leaders, repudiating the free
coinage ratio of 16 to l and indorsing the
ST. Louis idea of croWdlng silver into
the background to make room for an
other paramount ISSUE indicate a fear
that something may interfere to prevent
the eastern democracy from falling into
line. The ignoring of the question by
the Trans-Mississippi congress was
merely a case of progressive checkers
which the democrats are playing in the
hope of finally getting into the king
row.

DECLINE OF ARISTOcRAcY.

The assault upon President Loubet Of
the French republic yesterday, by a mob
of Partisan aristocrats, marks an era in
the political history of that cratic coun-
try. It was thu conduct of the aristoc-
racy that precipitated the reign of terror
which produced the cruel and relentless
R~obespierre, and rusted the blade of the
guillotine with the best blood of unhappy
Paris.
The conduct of the aristocracy yester-
day indicates that it has suffered an
other relapse and gone into a decline
which may lead up to a crisis in French
affairs. The feeling between the aris-
tocracy and the common people over the
Dreyfus incident has become so intense,
and the strain has been so long con
tinued, that the return Of that individual
from Devils island may be characterized
by demonstrations that will still further
disgrace the French republic. No doubt
attempts will be made to assassinate
Drcyfus and touch a match to the revo-
lntionary temper of the French people.

THEY DESERVE A MONUMENT.

Memorial day always brings many un-
pleasant memories to the heart of man.
1t is impossible to visit a modern ceme-
terry without feeling that the distinctions
made in life between men is even more
pronounced in death. Over the bones Of
the unworthy ma often be seen monu-
ments of chiseled marble that tower
~heavenWard like petrifed rewards of ar
tificial merits, while those who sleep as
humbly as they lived may rest under the
u~npretentious slab which poverty pro-
vides. The Butte cemetery is no excep-
ton to the rule. Today a gentleman who
visited that silent city of the dead on
Memorial day remarked:
When the people honored the dead by
strewing flowers upon their graves,
comments We're made at the graves of
some of the noble city firemen who lost
their lives in the performance of their
duties in the terrible powder explosion
on January u, 1895, for no monuments
mark their re sting place, and the names
upon the rude h~eadboards are fast fading
away under the corroding hand of time.
They will be soon lost to the memory of
man. and to those who hold them dear,
for their loved ones are too poor to per-
petuate their virtues in marble.
The foregoing comments apply to the
graves of Samuel Ash, Dave Moses and
Peter Nordling g. These men were among
the victims Of the explosion, and it is
said that their relatives are financially
11pa hja ~ piaea c1,ifa h1n hoa1ctnpoc o1-or
their remains. Mrs. Ash was employed
for a time in the city hall, but was re-
moved by Mayor Harrington, and now
makes her living by daily toll. Mrs.
Moses, who lost her son, is circumstance
in like mann r, while Nordling left no
relatives to cherish his memory.
The suggestion has been made that the
city erect 0 YER the remains of these
heroes a suitable monument to commem-
crate their deeds. No man upon the
battlefield ever merited higher enco-
miums from the people than the fire
laddies who went to duty and to death
on that eyentful night. An honest
tribute to the DEAD IOr QeeQS WOrtnlly
performed is an encouragement to the
living to reverence duty in the face of
danger. Let it not be said when an
other Memorial day rolls around that
the city of Butte has forgotten its dead.
Let the city government replace the
wooden headboards with monuments Of
stone.

agree to them if it was understood
that the privilege of collecting and de-
livering cablegrams would only extend
to those from Australia, and to places

DEVELOPMENT OF PEARL HAIR
BOR.

1t is very much to be regretted that
there will be any delay in the develop
ment of naval station at Pearl Har-
Dor, by reason of the unwillingness OF
the government to pay the prices de-
manded for land.
Whether the prices asked are or are
not too high, is not discussed. There
was some thought, after the organiza-
aion of the Provisional government,
about the purchase of land lying on
the Harbor, for the use of the United
States, in the event of annexation, and
there is provision in the Hawaiian
Constitution which authorizes the To-
cal government TO condemn land, in
the fulfillment of the treaty agree
ments. But no attempt was made to
secure any land whatsoever Since
that time, the price of all lands border
ing adjacent to Pearl Harbor, have
largely increased in value, and the Off
Gals in Washington believe that the
prices are excessively high. They may
be in the error about it, but if they
are, 1T Will not be easy 10 convince
them of the error.
The Federal government may con-
denim the land required for a station,
but it we'll knows. that under con-
domination proceedings, local jury
will take the ground that the Federal
government is rich and can afford to
pay any sum whatsoever, just as the
local government is required to pay
several prices" for land taken for
streets.
In the end, land must be acquired for
a naval station, but there may be long
delays about it, and the matter be
hung up for some time. The Federal
government will hesitate to open a
channel over the Pearl Harbor bar
until 1T secures the land it needs. To
do SO, before obtaining the land, would
be merely to increase the present high
value, not at the expense of the owners
of it, but at the expense of the nation.
This is not a good business PROPOSE

THE BISHOP ESTATE.

Before many years it will appear
that the Bishop estate is the most i'm
portant social and charitable force in
these Islands. Even at the present
value of its property, it is a power that
is felt in many directions. A chart
table trust of the same resources,
established on the Mainland, if it's re-
sources were estimated in comparison
with the resources of the wealthieSt
State in the Union, would attract
SERIOUS attention. A general compare
tive estimate would place a similar
trust in the control of several hundred
millions of dollars. The largest single
charitable estate in the United States,
is that of Trinity Church, i'm New York
city whose property is valued, we be-
iieve, at $30,00O.o00. But at this valu-
ation, it does not, as yet, attract the
popular attention, because it is rather
insignificant in comparison with the
real value of property, real and per-
a value of at least twenty-five hundred
millions of dollars. A comparison on
the basis of the ownership of land,
would give a similar charitable insti-
tuition on the Mainland, over one thou
sand million of acres of public lands
This large and comparatively abnor-
NAL ownership of land will soon force
the estate into continual and, at times,
unpleasant prominence. a charitable
trust, with such vast comparative
wealth, will be the target of the poll
aicians and dissatisfied. And it will be
especially liable to attack because it
owns large tracts of land in a country,
where, excepting on Hawaii and Maui,
il is almost impossible for a poor man
TO obtain q home at any moderate
price, and the rich land owners in
crease their holdings at every oppor-
tunity Such conditions invariably
raise issues about the rights, and duties
of charitable trusts. The tendency of
Anglo-Saxon legislation is to limit the
holdings of such trusts, in view of the
great damage they have done to the
people, in the past. 1t Will be remem-
bered that recently Cornell University
was, owing to the limit put upon the
amount of its holdings, prevented from
taking large bequest some years ago.
The trustees of the Bishop Estate,
have, therefore, before them large,
arduous, perplexing and in some re-
spects a thankless task. Good, but I'M
thinking men will unjustly and justly
criticise them. The politicians will
strike at them through the ballot box.
Those who have personal grievances
against them will accuse them of sell
fishness and mismanagement. In due
time these antagonisms will raise poll
aicaI issues. The values involved are
too large to make it otherwise.
The attitude of the people towards
the Bishop Estate will depend upon the
wise management of the trustees. They
deal. owing to what has been already
said, not only with business affair,
but with the educational Interest, the
most important interest in the coun-
