oyLONEL PICOUARTS TESTIMONY.

The hero Of the Dreyfus drama plays his part
we'll He causes no disappointment 1t was ex-
pected that he would give strong and impressive
testimony, but probably not the most sanguine
of his friends dared look for so mastery a
presentation Of the truth as that which he has
given in the last two days. and which is not yet
ended. Mercier's testimony was much heralded
as sure TO prove sensat ional and overwhelming.
On delivery it was found TO be stale rehash OF
exploded ghost stories and personal spite. There
was nothing In IT that had not already been ex-
plotted TO the full In the Jew batting press of the
bouevards. and the salient points of it were
those that had been specifically discredted by
the Court Of Cessation. In Colonel Picquarts
testimony, however, we have new, fresh, virile
presentation Of facts, and Of facts which have a
pertinent bearing upon the case in hand. With
little attempt at mere argument moreover, these
facts are so arrayed and arranged as to form a
complete and convincing chain Of logic leading
straight to the acquittal of Captain Dreyfus
We have said that Mercier's strongest points
have been discredlted The bordereau was one
of them Now, there is not and never has been
the slightest direct evidence that Captain Drey-
fus wrote It, Every reputable expert In hand
writing who has examined it declares that it
DrODaDIy was ucI WTllteu ny num- iuc Nouit vi
Cessation formally pronounced II improbable
that he had written 1t. And Esterhazy has re-
peatedly confessed under oath that he, and not
Captain Dreyfus wrote it. OF course Ester
hazy is an untrustworthy witness But his word
is still taken by MERCER and his colleagues
And In the face Of all this MERCER, Roget and
the rest keep on with their parrotlke repetition
"Dreyfus Is guilty, for he wrote the bordereauV
There is nothing like it In the world, apart from
Brother Jaspers insistence that ode sun do

letter, which MERCER practically admits having
| lied about. The Jew baiters insist that It was
written by German attache to an Italian at
tache, referring TO Captain Dreyfus. But the
Italian attach6 In question swears that he
never even heard Of Captain Dreyfus until the
latter's arrest. In spite OF that denial MERCER
and his colleagues keep on harplng upon that
letter as proof OF Captain Dreyfus's guilt Once
more, there was a letter said to have been writ
ten by an Austrian attache That attache swears
he never wrote II, and his denial Is confirmed by
the Austrian charge dafraires Yet doubtless
the army ring will keep on saying Captain
Dreyfus must be guilty, because of the Austrian
attaches letter.
All these Inconsistencies impossibilities and
brutalities are exposed by Colonel Picquart with
deadly force. He lodges nothing. slurs over

ARBITRARY ARRESTS.

The proceedings in the Kronman case yes
terday offered a new illustration Of Major Gar
diners French ideas OF charging citizen with
crime and then keeping him under arrest. not
in the least because he Is guilty, but simply
because charge has been made against him.
The police have secured what they regard as
conclusive evidence as to the murderer Of Mrs.
Kronman The District Attorneys office en-
tirely agrees with them. Kronman is COM
pletely exonerated from the unjust suspicious
formerly entertained by the detectives Yet
Yesterday the representative Of the District
Attorney was diligently seeking to prevent this
innocent man from being discharged and re-
lieved Of the official accusation Of having com
mltted crime for which another man Is under
arrest When Mr.. Kronman's counsel moved
that the proceedings against his client be dis
missed J. F. Hennessey, Of the District AttOr
news office, opposed the motion He had moth
ing whatever TO say against Kronman. was
perfectly willing to admit his innocence, but
still sought to keep him under the cloud Of
arrest until some future time. He did not want
to let the innocent man go until the proceed
ings against the supposed guilty man had
reached later stage and he had been COM
mitted to the Tombs
Such a high view Of the functions Of prose

That official had clearer idea Of the rights
Of citizens. He would not be party to the
practice of keeping n man under arrest just
because 1t happened to suit the within Of n Dis
trict Attorney or the convenience of a detective.
| He declared that there was no evidence against
Kronman and never had been any. and that
he never ought 10 have been arrested. The
police now say In their defence that they made
the charge against Kronman while having
their eyes on the other man simply to divert
suspicion. That Is an adaptation Of a method
recently much paraded by Major Gardiner as
one Of the earmarks Of his traDscendent genius

arrested him and how far the feeling Is sub

can be given the right sort Of start in life.
they will have far better chance of in
dependent and useful old age than if they
are allowed to worry along blindly and
fall into wrong ways of living.
The whole thing SINNERS down to this;
there should be chance, provided by the
public, for every needy person to earn the
mere necessaries Of life without loss OF
self-respect. That is only common sense.
Such a system would do more to sweep
away the whole tribe of impostors than
stand that there need be no beggars and
no criminals made by want of food and
shelter. The benevolent people of the COM
munity. having provided this chance and
appointed persons competent and honest to
conduct such labor bureau, or house OF
employment, should then turn their atten-
tion to particular cases which they can in
vestigate thoroughly. The state may pro-
vide some sort of work for the homeless
man; but only the individual can become
acquainted with him, find out what he most
needs. and help him to it. The state may,
and should, give the destitute woman
chance to earn her living and that of her
children, II she must provide for them;
but the individual must seek out this wo-
man and help her to make the; most of her
self in every way. The trouble has thus
far been that the functions Of the state
and the individual. in dealing with the
question Of the submerged TENTH" have
been quite considerably mixed.
