from itself and widening it's ideals by
contrast and comparison with the ideal
istic and subjective Teutonic litera-
lures. Now the immediate result of
this was to give an immense impetus to
reawakening of egoism that had been
inaugurated by Rousseau. Men sought
to be individual, where the classicists
had sought to conform to pre-estab-
lished types. Thus the French roman
tic movement, one of the greatest lit
erary regenerations in history. was
very largely the work of Nine. de Stael.
But, as 1 have said elsewhere, this
very success has resulted in neglect.
Thoughts that were new in "Corinne"
or in Germany became commonplaces
when they had won general acceptance.
So her work appealed to later genera
tons neither by its novelty nor by its
beauty. though in the breadth and full
ness of its thought it surpassed that
of all her contemporaries.
The first of the greater books, Den
phine," is, as she says in her preface,
a sort of yelled confession. To reveal
the reader to himself seemed to her the
purpose of fiction. So both "Delphine''
and ''Corinne" are drawn from her own
life. They are observations on a Gull
tured and artistic society by. one of its
members. Mime. de Stael was an arts
tOcrat, and her novels are aristocratic.
She was also born pedagogue, and
instinctively she added a moral purpose
to her psychologist one. Thus she was
among the first to claim serious place

melancholy with optimistic idealism.
Happiness is ever reckoning her on
ward. No wonder that "Corinne" be-
came to a whole generation the book
of generous passion and of ideal love.
Germany formulated the artistic,
ethical and philosophic principles Of
"Corinne" These Nine. de Stael
thought she discerned in Kant and
Fichte as they were interpreted to her
by August Wilhelm Schlegel. She bus
led herself little with the German state
or people. Philosophy and art abb
sorbed her interest, for it was from
them that she hoped to draw Parthian
shafts to shoot at her Corsican perse
cutor. She found also in the meta
physics of Kant an antidote for the
cold, dry and not very penetrating light
of the French encyclopedias, and by
bringing what she found to general at
tention she certainly widened and liber-
allied, though it can hardly be said
that she strengthened or deepened, the
philosophic and religious thought of
the next generation in France.
On the literary side, the effect of
Germany" was to clear the ground of
classical prejudices and to prepare it
for a modern literature that should
draw from modern conditions a more
natural nourishment for a fuller life.
For that a new art was to arise from
the chaos of the revolution was Nine.

zeal of her preaching was so persua-
sive that, though she originated little,

NOTHING LIKE ACCURACY.

There's nothing like being accu-
rate quotes the local Republican or
gan. And then, for the information of
its readers and incidentally the de-
tense of the tin plate trust it says:
The tariff on tin plate did not be-
come a law until Oct. l, 1890. That is,
it is nine years less three months"
! In the language of the advance agent,
remember the date. 1t has been fig
ured down to mathematical nicely by
our contemporary to give it the appear
ance of absolute accuracy. 1t is quite
gift to tell a romance with such fidel-
ity to detail that il reads like reality.
But what are the facts concerning the
tin plate tariff?
The tariff on tin plate is nothing new.
The special tariff act of Feb. s. 1875,
made the duty specific and fixed it at
IL cents per pound. The act of 1888
reduced the duty TO / cent per pound.
In five years, owing to the steady de-
cline in the cost of tin plate abroad,
this amounted to about 80 per cent az
valorem. The Mckinley tariff of 1890
fixed the duty at %. This was re-
duced by the Wilson bill to lis cents,
which continued until the Dingley
schedule was adopted fixing the spe-
cific duty at Is cents per pound, or
nearly cent lower than Mckinley had
declared in 1890 was absolutely neces-
sary TO the industry, and still the
present tariff is prohibitory, and does
not yield the government one dollar of
revenue
The tin plate trust is a tariff-created
and government pampered monopoly
Since the advent of Mckinley it has
been in clover. The market reports
show that $4.25 per box has been de-
manded since March, which is an adj
vance of S1.5O in the last nine months.
Another advance of 50 cents per box has
been agreed upon, and when this an
nouncement was made the labor lead
ers of the tin plate workers said: This
tariff was demanded for the benefit of
the American working man. 1t keeps
out foreign competition; it has enabled
you to combine against domestic COM
petition. You have grown enormously
rich at the old prices Within a year
you have increased the price from S275
and So per box to $3.50 and $475 per
box, when the pending arrangements
are perfected. This will enable you to
double your profits and fortunes every
three or four years. We demand a
share of this protection which you OBJ
tanned under false pretenses, which you
told the American people was for us,
but which you have taken for your
selves"
After a dispute and strike the trust
officials yielded on the first of the week.
But as soon as the present rush is over.
who doubts that every man concerned
in the recent tie-up will be discharged?
This is the case in a nutshell. No one
expects the Republican organ to SYM
pathize with the strikers It's opposi-
ton to them and its defense of the
trusts are in keeping with its charac-
ter. But when it solemnly raps for
order in de cot" and sagely remarks
that the tariff on tin plate did not be-
come law until Oct l, 1890" it is
making entirely too heavy a draft upon
the credulity of its readers.

ESTERHAZYs CONFESSION,

Esterhazy has again confessed that
he wrote the bordereau at the orders
of Colonel Sandherr, and with the
knowledge and consent of the French
| officers who encouraged and conducted
the prosecution and courtmartial of
Dreyfus.
1t has been established already that
the other documents used against the
Jewish soldier were forgeries. and the
witnesses who secured his conviction
have either been overtaken by remorse
or by the law
Esterhazy's first confession of COM
plicity in a conspiracy to ruin Dreyfus
was made in London about the first of
June. 1t was printed in the Chronicle
ana Times. His last confession. which
the cahlegram mentions, has just been
put in a form to be used at the trial.
providing anything happens to the de-
Donent in the meantime. His rank,
title and prominence in the army should
entitle Esterhazy to some respect. at
least among the royalists and militar-
lists Of France. But ne is a notorious
liar. His word isn't worth the wind
that floats his voice. but the same
weight should be given it now that
was given it at the original trial
The only thing in Esterhazy that can
be depended upon every day in the
year is a certain logged devotion to
the army, and a respect for military
discipline that are as natural to him as
prevarication. He tells fairy tales
when he has every reason to believe
that the ensuing hour viii disprove his
words. 1t is said that he entered .nrc
an engagement with the London Chron-
icle TO allow his confession to appear
exclusively in that paper. 1t appeared
in the Times simultaneously word for
word. and it was afterwards learned
that he had made an exclusive agree
ment with each publisher.
It was upon the evidence of such a
character that the Jew was
condemned. Esterhazy's testimony
in eXculpation of the prisoner
has the advantage OF being cor
roborated by the handwriting experts
who testified at the former trial that
the chirography of The bordereau was
not that of Dreyfus, but resembled
more strongly that of Esterhazy, and
the latter's broker declared positively
that it WIS his clients autograph 1t
is indeed strange how the lives of men.
the happiness OF homes, the destinies
of nation, hang sometimes upon the
word of such rascals.

IN BEHALF OF JUSTICE.

Public opinion and the gravity of the
case warrant County Attorney Putnam
in making every possible effort to Sc
cure exact justice for Benbrook, the
slayer of Burt Morris. To this end he
should reconsider his announced pur-
pose and invite the employment of spe-
cial counsel to assist him.
It is in no sense a reflection on the
county attorneys ability to insist that
he avail himself of the very best legal
talent that can be placed at his dis
posal. Such is the invariable practice
elsewhere in similar cases, and the oc-
casion warrants IL now.
If Benbrook is guiltless he will have
every opportunity to secure acquittal.
Plenty of money. able counsel and the
presumption of innocence will protect
him. On the other hand. if he is guilty
there should be no possibility of his
escape from punishment. The commu-
nity's rights are as sacred as the indi-
vidual's. Efficient prosecution is only
q defense of community rights. A bare
suspicion that justice had miscarried
in this particular instance would ser
iously impair the effectiveness of our
courts and weaken that common re-
spect for law, which is the safeguard
of every home.
Let Mr.. Putnam waive his unques-
toned right to prosecute the cause I'M
aided and cali in assistance. He will
find that such a course will be ap-
proved generally. and he will have no
cause to regret it.

porary said that the heroine talked of

inne" is more mature, and gives to its
authors ideas their most complete eX-
preston. The heroine is still Deiphine
that is, Nine. de Stael-she is still
doubly inspired by talent and by love,
still the misunderstood woman, an
other link to bind Rousseau's Julie to
George Sands Indiana, but yet giving
freer wing to her genius, more fully
developed, more independent. There is
a deep pathos in the conception of wo-
mans nature in which every talent is
a minister to love and an occasion of
suffering, and there is admirable art in
the way in which Italy is set Off
against England, nature against re-
spectability, ideal love against SNUG
calculation, passion against cant, the
glory of the ideal against material
wealth and comfort. Emotional rather
than thoughtful, the book irradiates
