satisfactorily to moralists or religion
lists. Government says do this, or not

are regarded as hypocrisy, or fanati-

Capt. Dreyfus has been pronounced

ways were devious. Its prejudices obyi-

has been accomplished by the second

TO continue suffering barbarous pun
ishment Tor treason he never commit
ted: the memory Of Dreyfus, the mar
tyr. win live a. long ~ there remains
q sense OF Justice In the human breast.
At the outset Il seemed that the out
ragged army captain must be acquitted.
No other purpose apparently animated
the court Of cessation but to establish
the right and to vindicate the good
name OF the French nation. The seven
trial Judges were directed simply to
examine the question ~ to whether
Dreyfus furnished foreign power the
documents enumerated In the bor-
dereau. They ignored and defied the
superior courts directions. How they
conducted the trial: their hostile de-
meanor and cruel prejudice: the ex
ciusion Of I'll evidencc tending to favor
the unhappy Jew: the open and notori-
Gus sympathy Of the presiding judges
for the lying generals. and their pro-
lection Of the stan from the inouisi-
toriai questions OF Labor: solemn per-
stump speeches and give opinions when
they had no testimony: the deliberate
tying Of Labori's hands and siiencing
OF his tongue when Il appeared prob
able that he would make damaging
point: the complete breakdown OF all
discriminating evidence and exposition
OF tn fraudulent character: the perfect
demonstration not only that Dreyfus
did not write the borslereau, but could
not have written it-an these are his
tory. terrible history for France.
The majority Of the people OF France
side with the army. and without refer
ence to the testimony believe Dreyfus
TO be guilty. He il an Alsatian by birth
and II Jew. This Is enough. No fur
ther proof nerd be offered. The general
stan says he u guilty. What more is
needed? What the effect OF the verdict

sent to DEVILS island. The cour, of
cessation which reviewed the testimony
presented at the first trial win doubt
Ices intervene to preven, such a mis-
carriage Of justice. 1t Is a critical mo-
mont for France. The so-called honor
Of the French army has fallen imrneas-
urahiy In the eyes Of the world. 1, has
proven itself devoid Of honor and deaf
to thu cry OF Justice. II IL rotten to
, the core. The French army. too. has
been on trial and stands convicted.
