Roberts, as we have seen, is very bad
man and must not be seated. How about
Quay, who win be seated as sure as fate?
Quay hasn't three wives, it is true, but
there are other things. Roberts, despite
his three wives, has never been indicted
for what amounts TO grand larceny. Rob-

state funds. Roberts has never been on

pain had asked a druggist for something

something, but the result was other than
good. The patient sued the druggist for
damages. The court held that the man

such, having asked the druggist for med

Gently that on certain Sunday he would
preach to pretty girls, and on the follow
ing Sunday he would preach 20 homely
girls. Now the query is, which service
will be the more largely attended, and
why? Win the girls who are really pretty
attend the first service and thus put them
selves upon the pedestal of self-judged
beauty, or will they attend the homely
girls service hoping to profit by the con-
trast likely to be offered? Again. will not
the young men attend the first service in
anticipation of feasting their eyes upon
comedy faces, and win not the owners of
the comedy faces desire that the young
men shall not be disappointed?

The session OF the National House of
Representatives. Oh Thursday lasted only
half an hour. An unheard-of congressman
from one Of the Western states had died,
and. in accordance with a custom that has
survived too long, the House took a re-
cess "as further mark of respect to
mis- memory, and the members went out
riding, sight seeing and having a good
time, with a half-hoiday on their hands.
Probably not one man of the whole mem
bership gave a second thought to the late
iamented" during the day. Meanwhile the
publc's business was suspended, and the
treasury was taxed, without return, for
the running expenses Of the House while
the farce of the further mark of respect"
was being carried out. Congressional sor-
row, marks of respect and condolences
have become common and practically
meaningless during the past several years.

OUR ARRANGEMENT WITH THE
SULU SULTAN.

The home Tagals have hit upon an
other complaint. This time they are
bowling in unison against the Govern
ment for entering into an agreement
that they say makes the Stars and
Stripes the shelter of slavery, heathen-
ism and polygamy. One of the ablest
of these pessimists declares that the
arrangement we have made with the
Sultan of Sulu gives shelter to harems
slavery and Mohamedanism.
The facts are that the Sultan of Sulu
exercises control over an exceeding
large body of people in the Philippine
Archipelago. His authority as civil
ruler was never acknowledged by
Spain, or by any other country, and has
not been by us. Spain tolerated him
While maintaining her power at coast
points, the Sultan residing in the inter-
ior of one of the Sulu group and exer-
cising authority over Mohamedans in
the Philippines and in North Borneo
British possession), who looked up to
him as their head in faith if not in law.
Now what has happened? We come
upon the situation just as it was left
us by Spain. To avoid war with this
petty power we agree with him upon
terms of peace whereby he becomes our
ally instead of our enemy. Thereby
some millions of the people of the
Philippines acknowledge the lawful
supremacy of the United States and
give their allegiance to this Govern
ment, and we set up our civil system.
For this he is to be permitted to wor-
ship as he pleases and his domestic
customs are, for at least a term, not
to be interfered with by force.
The first thing to do in reaching these
people for their betterment was to have
their friendship rather than their en-
nifty. We have cut off a possible ally
from Aguinaldo and have gained a
friend who has the power to suppress
insurrection in a large territory over

HUMoR IN THE DREYFUs CASE.

1t has been noted by intelligent read
ers that mate love of humor in the
French character has cropped out sew
eral times in even the more tragic peri
DDS of the second trial of Captain
Dreyfus, now on. Both Labori and the
of wit, or at least of humor. Only the
other day one of the officers against
Dreyfus remarked in reference to sto-
ries of amours Of Dreyfus that if ev-
his neighbor's wife were dismissed from
the army, there would be very few left.
Labori, even while freshly suffering
with his wound, and while being car
marked: They cannot kill me, there is
too much of me-" Labori is a very
large man. The French illustrated
journals have not been awed by the
gravity and solemnity of the case, and
published cartoons of the court and the
prosecuting officers-about all the wit
nesses for the accuser being to this date
in that category. Figaro in making
fun of the weakness of France for dis
covering traitors, recently remarked:
"At first it was Bazaine; he is dead
now. Somebody had to take up the
job. Dreyfus was given it, but the
people discover that he isn't a genuine
traitor at all. Now they are mad. They
are entitled to their traitor, they must
have one, can't live without one"
One of the French journals, remark
ing upon the dispatch of Dreyfus' coffin
to the Devils Isle at the time of the
attempt to kill him by harsh usage,
and on the fact that they brought the

of the French for mysteries, publishes
the following presifiage of the letters
received by the unhappy judge. The
translation is from the Literary Di-

duce an old sabretash, of the pattern of
the Hussars during the first empire. In
this is carefully hidden the document
which will relieve the public con-
science.
1t is related by one correspondent at
Rennes that some joker the other day
placed upon the table before the prose-
cutting Generals a basin of clear water

may doubt, however, if such a joke
could be carried out under the military

General Mercier asserts with great
demned, and then the people of France
will be able to show the people of
America and England how they have
been deceived by the reporters who
send US French news. We, too, think
it not improbable that Dreyfus will be
convicted. Mercier probably speaks by
the card. But the American people,
who are almost to man in sympathy
with Dreyfus, are not the dupes of re-
porters. They are capable of forming
judgments themselves, and they rarely
make mistakes. True, our sympathies
may be a trifle strong for the prisoner
because he is assailed for the accident
of birth for one thing, but mainly be-
cause a fine sense of justice balks
at the methods pursued in prosecuting
the prisoner. The American people be-
leve he should not be convicted as yet
because they have heard of no sufti
cient testimony being given upon which
to convict the lowest and vilest of be-
ings The American spirit rejects as
intolerable and shameful a system that
tries a man for crime upon the opin-
appears to be the French system, and
if they like it, why should we concern
ourselves?
