that these Englishmen and other outland-
ers are entitled to the privileges as a mat
ter of human justice. and that her suzer-
ainty over the Transvaal empowers her to
cite the case and to exact the reforms.
Thus the question becomes one OF TACT: Is
the Transvaa subject to English suZeraln-
ty? If so the Beers cannot logically pro-
pose to grant the franchise reform In con-
sideration of a renunciatio of this suzer-
ainty for it is by virtue of the suzerainty
itself that the English demand has force.
Thus for England now to accede to this
proposition would be to yield the very right
which authorizes her to enter the case.
Were the franchise privileges later revoked,
after having been granted upon this basis,
England would then have no status in the
Transvaal and her voice would be merely
that of an interloper. Thus 1t is clear that
the Boer position would be stronger, even
in it's hopeless defiance, if the government
Pretoria were to reject the British fran
chise proposals absolutely on the ground
that there is no suzerainty and conse-
quently no warrant for English interven-
ton.
The issue to be settled at tomorrow's
cabinet session in London seems, there
fore to be whether the British suzerainty
over the Transvaal is of sufficient value to
justify a resort to arms to enforce it. To
yield to the urgings of the minority party
at home and deal softly with the Beers
would be to invite discomfort among the
loyal colonists in southern Africa and to
encourage the growing spirit of independ-
ence among the Dutch-En8lish population
of Cape Colony now represented in the
colonial government by a premier who is
strongly antagonistic to the home govern
ment in some respects. When tomorrows
decision has been recorded that of the
Beers is to be rendered, and upon the two
in combination will rest the issue Of peace
or war.

The campaign in Maryland fortunately
for the voters of the state, has been made
one exclusively of issues. Personalities do
not enter into it at all. Both parties have
nominated candidates of such high stand
ing that each may respectfully take OF Its
hat to the other They are all men of DEM
onstrated ability and worth. each easily
equal to the duties of the office for which
he has been named. We have therefore to
consider only the principles for which the
two parties by their platforms stand.
The democracy's platform is an evasion
1t is designedly obscure or nOn-committal.
On the question of the finarces-a question
of far-reaching importance-it is absolute
" silent And yet Maryland is a rapidly
developing state, and Baltimore as bus
mess center is making great progress. Her
bankers and merchants and manufacturers
and wage-earners are vitality Interested in
sound money. On the question of foreign
affairs it deplores the press censorship at
Manila! On the question of state affairs
it appeals to race prejudice as to the
negro, And yet in Maryland, elsewhere,
we are on the skirmsh line of the tremen-
dous battle which is on the cards for next
year.
The republican platform. it is but the
simple llulH 10 say, Is tlie Neis opPoSitc VI
this No issue, foreign or domestic, is
avoided. None is handled either gingerly
or obscurely. The gold standard is une
quivocally Endorsed. The country's duty in
the Philippines is clearly and periodically
expressed. Trusts which are monopolistic
are denounced. State issues are treated
explicitly anG what is promised on that
score is in line with the popular demand.
The comparison therefore in the matter
of platforms is decidedly against the de-
mocracy. On the one side evasions or 81
lence: on the other definite declarations,
with no pertinent question passed over.
What will the harvest be? The appeal.
as in 1898, is to the independent voter, who.
as in that year, is likely again to decide
the contest. Mr.. Germans appeal is by
silence on those issues upon which, both
in 1885 and 1896, the independent voter
took firm stand. The republican appeal
is by a renewal of the declarations made
In those two years, and by pointing to a
fulfilment of all the promises made by, or
in the name Of the party when 1t then
asked for power. AS Governor Lowndes
has proved faithful once. why. the republic
cans ask should he not be trusted again?
AS sound money is still the overshadowing
national issue, why not, they inquire. sus-
tain the party which offers the only Sc
curity against cheap money?
During the two months before election
day the discussion will be full and free,
and every voter will be able to cast his
ballot advisedy.

would be asked, doubtless, whether they
had any relations with Captain Dreyfus.
If they answered in the negative, as it is
to be presumed would be the case, the gov
eminent commissary would probably de-
clare that this was no satisfactory proof,
inasmuch as it is the first business of a
spy to protect his informant.
OF course Colonies Schwartkoppen and
Panizzardi might swear, with many an
oath and much feeling, that they were tell
ing the truth, upon their honor as officers,
that Dreyfus was not their man. Would
they be believed by the prejudiced judges ?
Would not those seven officers take the
ground that German or an Italian colonel
quite capable of perjuring himself to save
his tool? If, of course, these officers can
produce documentary proof which excul-
pates Dreyfus 1t will be beneficial to the
accused But will not that expose the
hands of their governments? 1t Is plain
enough to the unprecedented world that
DreyfuS' case needs no such foreign aid,
for there is at the present time no proof
whatever against him, either that any
treason was ever committed. or that he
was In any manner connected with a for
of Dreyfus' dangers is that the emperor
and the king now besought to lend their
aid may look at the case from this point
of view and decide that it is unnecessary
to expose their officers to the humiliating
predicament of testifying before unbeliev-
ing judges to truth which Is self-evident.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-07

1t will be difficult to accomplish much
for Dreyfus by the appeal to Emperor VII
liam and King Humbert, logical and rea-
sonable though that appeal may be.
Reduced to its final terms the petition is to
this effect: You monarchs have maintained
at your embassies in Paris certain military
agents who are known to have established
relations with some of our French army
officers for the purpose of learning secret
facts as to our defensive and offensive
armament and our mobilization plans.
Here is an unfortunate man accused,
Wrongfully We believe, of selling or giving
Information of this character to these
agents of yours. He is beset by the perils
of intolerable persecution, the victim
of race prejudice. of criminal conspiracy
of forgery perjury and blackmail, to the
end. doubtless, that the real perpetrators
of this treason in your interests may be
protected. All efforts to disprove the
charges against him by the ordinary pro-
cesses of law, through the usual channels
of evidence, have been nuliiied by the in
equities of the tribunals trying him ard
the browbeating of judges and witnesses
by their superior officers. Our client is the
victim of a hideously unjust system of pro-
cedure. In this predicament We appeal TO
you for help, knowing that you can set the
case upon its just basis. VIII You not,
therefore, permit those officers of your
armies who represented you at capital
during the period of the alleged treason
to come forward and testify, to identify
the real traitor and thus exonerate Cap
tam Dreyfus who, We are satisfied, had
no dealings with you?

ments yield to this request and authorize

4 DOuble-EdEed Instrument.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record

The establishment of the gold standard
in India has been persistently urged by
the government as one of the most effect
i've means to improve the industrial condi-
ton of the lowest paid of the wage earn
ers in that country. To make every dollar
in the workingmans pocket the equivalent
of a gold dollar has been the effort of the
friends of sound money in the United
States. 1t is not flattering to the intelli-
gence of wage earners that so many of
them should be found in the ranks of the
advocates of cheap money. Cheap money
lessons wages at the same time that it in
creases the cost of living. 1t is a double
edged instrument for the oppression of the
poor.
