A CommsndnnIs Policy

The selection of regular army men to
command the ten additional volunteer
regiments which are being enlisted for
service in the Philippines is evidence of
sound judgment on the part of the war
department. For cololSS auG lieutenant
colonies of the new regiments senior and
junior captains respectively have been
drawn from the regular line, and they
have all seen from 20 to so years of SER
vice. The majority of them, moreover,
are graduates of West Point, and their Sc
lection is just recognition of the train
ing which they have received there and Of
the fact that they have devoted their lives
to service in the army. This is entirely
proper. A great deal more is demanded
of commanding officer now than was the
case when the number of men composing
regiment was much smaller than it is
today, and the responsibility of having in
ones keeping the lives of 400 men is very
great. The officers selected for the new
regiments are in close touch with modern
military ideas and their experience will be
of great value in preparing the raw re-
cruits for effective military duty. Freder-
ick T. Austin, who has been commits
stoned first lieutenant, and Charles W.
Pierce, who has been commissioned a sec
ond lieutenant, have both been connected
with the Vermont militia. Mr.. Austin /:
a graduate of Norwich university. He
has been drum major of the 9th Massa
chusetts regiment and has several time;
been complimented by high military Off
cials. He is now a citizen of Brockton
Mass. Mr.. Pierce is resident of New
port. He was quartermaster-sergeant o
Company L, lst Vermont regiment.

The event of the week in the Dreyfus
trial was the redppearance in court on
Tuesday of the prisoners leading counsel,
M. Labor, who was shot by a @ould-be
assassin. The lawyer was given a greet
ing which amounted to an ovation, in
which even the counsel of the government
joined. The able advocates skill lent val
liable aid to the cause of the prisoner.
Under his sharp questioning Gen. Mer-
cier made admissions that may lead to his
arrest, and the testimony given by the
army officers was torn TO pieces.
The attitude of Dreyfus has completely
changed under the advice of his counsel,
who told him he must speak in his own
behalf, as his sullen silence would send
him back to DEVILS Island. Dreyfus now
fights for himself as energetically as his
counsel.
The confusion into which the ranks oi
the military witnesses are thrown by any
thing approaching lively cross-examina
tion is due to the fact that their cases are
all prepared for them, and, in some in
stances, even written out by N. Ployer
who pulls the string from Paris in the in
terests of the military party. Hence the
dismay spread by the reappearance of NJ
Labor. The testimony introduced during
the week, and the facts brought out or
cross examination, have notably strength
ened the Dreyfus cause.

The Retirement OF Thomas B. Reed.
From the Philadelphia Ledger


By the resignation of Hon. Thomas B.
Reed of the First Maine district the Ameri-
can Congress loses its most interesting and
attractive personality, the foremost Ameri-
can statesman now in congressional SER
vice. His public career has been unsullied,
and his leadership in Congress from first
to last has been of the able, virile, cour-
ageous, undaunted, resourceful and bril-
liant quality which marks American state
craft in its best estate, and gives worth
and the highest service in American politi-
cal life. He was easily our first parlia-
mentarian. He directed the intricate busi-
ness of national legislation in its turbu-
lent, as we'll as in its tranquil periods with
rare sagacity, firmness, intelligence and
good Judgment Time has amply vindi-
Gated, and his political opponents in the
House have since adopted his memorable
rulings as speaker, rulings which partisan
rancor vigorously challenged at the time as
against congressional precedent. He has
maintained without diminution or temp
orary eclipse the commanding and domi-
mating reputation as presiding officer of
the popular branch of Congress which he
quickly established in a body where merely
meretricious craftsmanship cannot long
maintain ascendency.
Mr.. Reed mas the gliJ OF lnclslVe, cpl
-grammatic, telling oratory, which chal-
lenges the attention aud sways the judg-
ment. He was wisely conservative in the
use of his weapons, and was heard only
when the occasion was important, when
there was something weighty left unsaid
by his compeers. When the crisis demand
ed demolishing blow he did not hesitate
to deliver it. Few of our contemporary
statesmen have so thoroughly enlisted the
attention of their countrymen when the
hour demanded that the fitting and impress
sive word should be spoken.
Mr.. Reed has been a partisan, but his
partisanship always yielded to the superior
claims of patriotism. He leaves the scene
of his great triumphs as debater, counselor
and leader followed by the respect, affec
tion and admiration of political friends
and foes. 1t is unfortunate that he hal
taken this step on the eve of the settlement
of some of the most important public
questions of this generation. His services
and guidance in his party councils in Con
gress at this juncture would be priceless.

Another CAIIegsd) Dewey IntervIe,

Another (Alleged( Dewey lnterview.
The anti-imperialists are taking great
comfort to themselves out of an interview
which it is alleged that the correspondent
of the London Daily News obtained from
Admiral Dewey in Naples. These are the
essential things which the Admiral is said
to have said:
II have the question of the Philippines more at
heart than any other American because know
the Bilipinos intimately. They know i AM their
friend. The recent instruction is the fruit of the
anarchy that long reigned in the island. The in
surgents will have to submit themselves to the
law after being accustomed to no law. believe
aud affirm nevertheless that the Philippine ques-
tion will very shortly be solved. The Filipinos
are capable of governing themselves. IL is a
question of time but the only way TO settle the
insurrection and to assure prosperity, is TO con
cede self government. have never been In IA
vor of violence against the Filipinos / would
like to see autonomy first conceded and then
have annexation talked about"
This is a very level-headed view of the
situation, but since in this interview the
Admiral is made to deny and discredit all
previous interviews it will be just as vel
not to be too sure that he has begun talk
ing for publication at this late day.

The New York retail butchers, who

The French Way.

The conduct of the Dreyfus court mar
tial seems strange to all except French
men, Nothing like 1t is ever seen in
an American or British court. Today the
French court martial is organized ac-
cording to the law of 1895: Seven mem
bers. with a colonel for president when
the prisoner is a captain, and with two
members of the same rank as the accused.
The president has absolute authority over
the proceedings, but these are in the main
according to fixed code. First came the
arraignment of the accused, then the ex-
animation of the dossier, then the exami-
nation of witnesses for the prosecution,
and then the examination Of witnesses for
the defence. After these the government
commissioner will sum up for the prosecu-
tion, and then the counsel for the defence
will address the court. Finally, the ac-
cused may, if he wishes, speak in his own
behalf, enjoying the privilege OF saying the
last word. The judges must then imme-
diately retire to a secret place and remain
together in private until they have agreed
upon a verdict. The verdict having beer
written and signed, the president an
nounces 1t in open court, but not in the
presence of the prisoner. The latter hear
il afterward, sin the presence of the guard
assembled under arms"
The verdict needs not to be unanimous
A vote of five to two is sufficient. Thus
if five vote for condemnation and two TO

Another "wave of prosperity of mag
nifcent proportions is bound to sweep
over the West this fall if the reports of
the phenomenal crops are even approx
imately true. From the reports printed in
the Western newspapers the impression
is gathered that the yield Of corn and
wheat will be so enormously prolific that
the problem will be where to get the men
to harvest it and the railroad cars to move
it to market. According TO the published
estimates Nebraska's wonderful corn crop
of $50, 100000 bushels last year is to be
doubled, and the yield in Kansas will be
increased from 13O,OO0,O00 bushels to
800, 900, 900. And these are only sample
figures. Prices may decline somewhat,
but the enormous yield will compensate
for this several times over and add mil.
lions of dollars to the available resources
of the nation

The political strain in France growing
out Of the Dreyfus case found vent Sunday,
when mobs of Anarchists and Socialists
took possession of the streets of Paris.
The outbreaks were of the most violent
character, recalling the exciting days of the
Commune. Hundreds of people were in
jured in the mob's struggle with the police,
and two commissioners and many lesser
officers were wounded. The rioters gath
cred in the Place de la Republique where
speeches were made by anarchist leaders,
but the police Immediately interfered and
the mob fell back to the Place de Ia Nation.
Here desperate struggle with the police
occurred, aud the mob was soon entirely be-
yond control. The churches of st. Maure,
st. Joseph and St. Nicholas church were
sacked and attempts made to burn the
ediices. The Republican Guards we're at
length called out and by their help the
riot was quelled.

Next after the Dreyius trial the ques-
ton in Europe now is, whether there will
be war between England and the Beers Of
the Dutch republic in South Africa. The
root of the difficulty is a new franchise
law which the Boer government has en-
acted. The British government regards
this law as oppressive and unjust to the
outlanders and demands its modification.
President Kreuger stubbornly resists this
demand and submits a counter proposition.
English troops are being massed at Cape
Town, to be ready for any emergency that
may arise, and the Beers are equally active
in preparing to resist territorial invasion.

acquittal, Captain Dreyfus will be con-
demned. If only four vote against him
and three for him, he will be acquitted "by
a favoring minority" If five vote against
him, but be not agreed upon a sentence,
he will receive the lightest punishment
suggested by any of them. Apart from
condemnation and acqultal, there is a
third possible verdict, that of ''absoution," /"
which is rendered in case the accused be
found innocent of the charges on which
he was tried, but guilty of something else.
In that case he is set at liberty at the end
of "a hours, unless in that time the gov
ernment commissioner shall have made
petition for fetrial on the new charges.
