THE OUTLOOK ron DREYFUs.

The trial of Dreyfus is nearing It's end
The public knows all that there is in The
possession of The government against him.
In every civilized country outside o:
France the opinion is that he is not gull
ty. In France opinion is divided the great
majority believing him 60 be guilty. The
reason for this condition of affairs IN
France is that the sentiment is with the
army ana against the Jews. OF the sew
euteen daily papers in Paris only four
are favorable to Dreyfus. Two or three
are neutral and all the rest are bitterly
hostile to him. The masses of the people
believe that he Is guilty because the gem
erals have said so.
with such a feeling prevailing among
the people. and the seven men who com
pose the courtmartial being officers, who
naturally sympathize with the army It
is easy to understand that the prospect
for Dreyfus acquittal is by no means
promising. About the only evidence pro-
duced against Dreyfus is his alleged con-
fession. The cross-examination of the
witness who testified to the confession,
however, made it evident that there was
officer to whom the alleged confession
was made. was that Du Patty de Clam
had advised him to confess that he had
delivered to Germany certain unimportanr
papers, and that he had refused to do so.
This was twisted by the officer into the
alleged confession. AS far as the world
knows, there is not another bit of evil
An he
indications are that he will be convicted.
A prominent citizen of Chicago, recent
ly returned from Paris, says that the
French people are mad They are tired
Of the republic and are hoping and look
ing for a king. The working classes, par
ticularly declare they want a king, be-
cause there would then be better times.
However the case of Dreyfus is decided,
there will, in all probability, be a revo-
luton. The people are ripe for it. They
are dissatisfied and restless The govern
ment understands this condition of affairs.
Tsat is the reason that it has not taken
summary action against Guerin, the fell
low who has fortified himself in his house
in Paris and defes the government. 1t is
feared that the first shot fired in the ef-
fort to arrest him would be the begin
ming of a civil or a sectarian war.
But what about the exposition All over
Europe there is said to be a sentiment
in favor OF boycotting it in the event of
Dreyfus conviction. There may be no
chance to boycott il. If there should be
revolution there would be no exposition.
And it does look as If a revolution were
close at hand.

SENATOR MoRGAN's PROPHECY.

=
Senator Morgan is an expansioHist
! There ISN'T any doubt about that. And
he is an expansonist mainly because he
is an entlusiast in respect to the Mica
ragua canal He believes that the canal
viii be constructed and that it will revo.
lutonize the commerce Of the world In
our dispatches yesterday from Washing
ton he was quoted as saying that the time
wasn't distant when Manila would be the
great cotton market OF the world, and
that It would be an American city. For
this reason he thinks the South should
favor the policy Of expansion.
What he says in favor of that policy is
well calculated TO interest the South. At
present he says, Liverpool and Manches-
ter thrive on the American cotton crop.
They levy a heavy middle mans toll on
the cotton growers of the South. Llver-
pool fixes the price for cotton and Man
chester gets the manufacturers profit out
OF it, The greatest market for cotton
goods is found in Asia. Why should the
cotton growers continue forever to pay
tribute 10 Liverpool and Manchester?
Why should not Manila. which is just off
the coast Of Asia, become the greatest
cotton market Of the world?
In Senator Morgans opinion it can and
VIII become such market, under Ameri-
can control. From there the cotton fab
RIGS, intended for the markets of Asia
could be distributed. This idea has been
thrown out number Of times by Mr.
Barrett who was recently our minister
to SIAM He studied the situation in the
Far East very closely, and he came to
the conclusion that the outlet for the
steadily increasing cotton crop of this
country was in China and other countries
and that was that the South should man
ufaeture the raw material into the fab
rics the world needs and get the manu-
facturer's profit.
Il begins 10 look as If the time were not
so far off when the South would need all
of her cotton for her own mills. The
number of mills erected in the Southern
states within the last year was surpris-
ingly large. And mills are being built
all the time. 1t is safe to predict that
large as the number erected last year
was, the number that will be erected this
year-from September 1899 to September
19Oo-will be much larger. Those who
have been watching the growth of cotton
manufacturing in the South are confident
that it will not be many years before the
South win manufacture her cotton crop
Assuming that such viii be the case the
prophecy of Senator Morgan does not APP
building of the Nicaragua canal would
work wonders. 1t would undoubtedly help
the South. With that canal Savannah
would need even more wharves than she
will have when the great improvements
on Hutchinson's Island are completed She
would be the natural outlet for the trade
of very large part of the South with the
Far East

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE QUESTION


In a signed article in the New York
Journal of last Sunday. ex-senator Ingalls,
had the following comment on a speech
which Mr.. Bryan delivered recently at
Upton, Mo-:
THE audience at Upton grew FESTIVE at
the discussion of the money question aud
hundreds silently stole away. In response
TO the demand of an impatient hearer to
give them something on imperialism Mr.
Bryan said: We drove the Spaniards from
Cuba, and then told the Cubans they were
free to govern themselves We have driv-
en- the Spaniards from the Philippines and
why nos tell the Filipinos they are free to
govern themselves" Quite so. So say we
all; but suppose, after we drove Spain
from Cuba, an army Of insuggen and NAL
contents. under the lead of an ambitious
and INSCRIPTIONS outlaw, had attacked
our troops, defed the flag. burned towns,
levied contributions on reluctant inhabit-
ants kept up guerilla warfare, fired on
hospitals and flags of truce and refused
all overtures for peace, what then about
Cuba, Mr.. Bryan? What would have
been tho verdict Of the American people up
on the man or the party that, under such
conditions advocated hauling down the
flag the retreat of our armies, the sur
render of Havana and Santiago. the evac-
uation OF the island and the abandonment
of Cuba to the uudispuIed supremacy of
the most degraded and malignant elements
of its population"
Mr.. Ingalls, must have seen when he
wrote the foregoing that there was no fair
ness in the parallel in the comparison he
drew between Cuba and the Philippines.
The Cubans are quiet, waiting for develop
ments And why? Is it not because they
have the promise Of independence? If we
had taken possession of Cuba and an
nounced our purpose to retain permanent
possession of the island, is it not probable
thar we should now have a condition of
war in there instead of peace? The
Cuhans believe that they will be given
control of their own affairs, if they want
it. They have the promise of Congress to
that effect.
But the Ftlipinos have no such promise
Their understanding is that their islands
are to be held as permanent posse sion
by the United States. There is no party
tina, is demanding that our flag shall be
hauled down in the Philippines and our
army withdrawn from there. 1t is not
proposed that the worst elements of the
I'Hipinos shall be permitted to overrun the
islands and ruin them. Nothing OF the
kind. 1t is simply proposed that the Fill
pinos shall be dealt with just as II is pro-
| posed to deal with the Cubans 1t is be-
ileved that il the Filipinos were promised
! eH1government-that if they were told
they should have control of their own af-
fairs just as soon as they proved them
selves capable of managing them-they
would cease their opposition TO our gov
ernment. Peace would reign in the Phil
ippines as it does in Cuba. Mr.. ingalls,
is lacking in fairness. therefore when Re
bases his argument on the assumption
that our government is dealing with the
Filiplnos as literally as 1t is dealing with
| the Cubans.

THE KEY WEST EPIDEMIC.

The yellow fever at Key West has been
declared epidemic, but it is in such a mild
form that it does not appear to occasion
a great deal of alarm there, or to excite
grave apprehensions elsewhere that it win
spread beyond that city. There are am
pie reasons for thinking that there will be
no epidemic of the fever in New Orleans.
The two cases discovered there have not
been followed by others. That is a pretty
good sign that the city is not seriously in
fected. In fact, il is doubtful If ii is In
fected at all. The report of the health
authorities is that the health conditions
were never better at this season of the
year than they are now. There is very
little sickness there of any kind, and the
city is particularly free from fevers The
announcement OF the two cases will in
terfere for a while with the business of
New Orleans, but the guarantees which
have been established win be raised soon
if no more cases develop. 1t would not be
surprising if there should be a few more
scattering cases, but the signs of an cpl
demic are absent
Some of the northern papers comment
owing to the success which attended The
efforts to stamp out The disease at the
Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va,t yellow
fever has lost most of its terrors. We
are not so sure of this. II is 10 be hoped,
however, that it is So because if il were
not for the fear that the disease inspires
the death rate would not be nearly so
great in epidemics and it is doubtful if
so many people would be attacked in the
places IN which the fever finds lodge
ment.
1t must be admitted of course that the
disease that appeared at the Soldiers
Home was yellow fever because experts
pronounced it such. but it acted queerly
for that disease. Its sudden subsistence.
however, was due probably to the fact
the climatic conditions were against its
spread, rather to any new and better
method of dealing with it, No new way
of treating it has been discovered thai is
accepted as having special merit
There IS no doubt that the weather CON
ditions have much to do with the question
as to whether the disease will become cpl
demc when il makes it's appearance In
New orleans the physicians are able to
tell with almost unerring certainty whelh-
er or not the fever is going to become
epidemic when the first cases of il are
reported, Prior to the epidemic of 1878
the fever appeared in that city almost
every summer. The people were not
alarmed even when as many as fifty cases
were reported in the course of a month or
two unless there was a belief, amounting
almost to a certainty, that there was go
ing TO be an epidemic. When all the con-
diiions are favorable for the spread of the
disease the efforts 10 stay its progress
have heretofore proved unavailing. If the
conditions at the Soldiers Home had been
favorable for an epidemic the probabih-
ties are that there would have been one,
Notwithstanding the efforts of the doctors
TO check the disease.
