F,garo Saws Esterhazy i, Guilty

Paris, May 25.-The Figaro publishes to- day long article arguing from the whole body of evidence offered before the court of cessation that Esterhazy is guilty of the crime for which Dreyfus is being punished.
 Among the points made is the fact that while Colonel Panizzardi and Colonel Schwartzkoppen, of the Italian and Ger man legations in Paris, at the time Drey- fus was condemned, never ceased to af- firm his innocence, they kept silent con- corning Esterhazy

umns, to the fact that this city will be
one hundred years old on February %,

of the event would be an eminently
proper thing, Up 20 date nothing

difference to so signal an event is not
in keeping with Ellsworth's we'll
known reputation for making the
most out of her anniversaries. This
is in striking contrast to Gardiner
action; that hustling city celebrates
its centennial on May -, and for

The friendly personal cable mes
sages that have passed between the
emperor OF Germany and President
Mckinley since the latter approved
the application for the landing of the
new German cable in the United
States have not pleased those who
have been for months exaggerating
every little occurrence, and manufac-
turing some, for the purpose of Great
ing ill-will between the people of the
TWO countries, but they have served
TO show the world as well as the peo-
pie OF the Two countries, that the
rulers of Germany and of the United
States have no idea of allowing the
friendly relations of the two nations
to be disturbed by sensation-mon-
gers.

Speaker Reeds Withdrawal

Mr.. Reeds retiring from the field of
politics comes absolutely of his own
motion, and at a time when his leader
ship in the popular branch of Con-
gress is undisputed, unquestioned.
Had he stayed in the House, not a
vote would have been thrown against
him in the caucus which viii elect the
speaker in the Fifty sixth Congress,
and it is entirely safe to say that in
conducting the business of the House,
he would be the same compelling, pc
tential figure that we have seen in the
past.
Strong, able, distinguished men will
do battle for the place that Mr.. Reed
has left, but every one OF them would
help, and help gladly, to keep
him in the speakers chair would he
only let them.
One of the most marked proofs of
his power has been in the loyalty of
the leaders on the floor, and whoever
succeeds him will find that this is a
situation not easily made and main
tanned.
Things Will no doubt go on very
i, but the House of Representa-
tives will not be the same body With
Thomas B. Reed out of it.
The state of Maine is unreconciled
to his disappearance from the sphere
of influence where she looked to find
him, and where, when she looked, she
always found him. She looked for no
shuGier, no trimmer, no time server,
and in Mr., Reed she found none. She
wanted no blaggart, no blusterer, and
in MIR. Reed she found she had none
such.
He had a mind OF his own which he
kept at work in an uncommonly lively
and courageous way, both in word
and deed, and our people We're very
proud of him, and trusted him ac-
cordingly. Wherever he goes and
whatever he does, the interest and
sympathy of Maine will be with him.
We hope he has not for all his life left
American politics.
When SO many grave dangers lower
Ain the sky of the republic, we need
such men as Mr. Reed on deck. When
propositions and practices, which
twelve months ago everybody would
have voted down as heresies ard
denominations, are Haunted at the top
mast as the highest and indeed the
only form Of patriotism, We need Mr..
Reed on shipboard.
1t is not like him to watch the inn
periled craft from the safety of the
shore

The only reason why the instruc-
tons given the United States commits
sioners to the cars disarmament con-
ference have not been made public is
that it would not be proper to state
the official attitude of this government
on the matters to be considered at

ing. There are reasons for the belief
that arbitration fills large part in

Washington County Road.

When the summer timetable Of the
Washington County railroad goes into
effect on June l, the train arrangement
will be entirely changed; one train will
perform the entire service between East
port and the Junction, making several
trips daily, an increase over the present
mum Der; the through trains from Calais
viii run to Bangor without change; it is
the intention Of the company to obvlate
the Inconvenience now imposed upon the
passengers between points on the branch
and Bangor by sending the car through,
instead OF changing at PASSPORT Junction.
Ii Is also expected that at no distant
dav. arrangements will be made with the
Maine Central and Boston 4 Maine, that
will permit passengers fr@n PASSPORT

Colfax, Stevenson and Macon-served
three teams each in that exalted po-
sition.
1t is noted also in this connec-
ton that only one speaker-James X.
Polk-ever became President. So far
as the states are concerned. the speak
ership honors have been very UNI
equally divided. Only fourteen states
have had speakers, and three of those
Kentucky, Virginia and Massachu-
setts-have each furnished four, while
Pennsylvania and Indiana have each
had three. The only speaker who
served longer than three terms was
Henry Clay, who had fraction more
than five terms to his credit.
Only four speakers have been from
the West, and three of them were from
Indiana The talk about the prob
able successor to Mr.. Reed is as vet
largely speculative. No party ever
had a larger array of capable men
available for the honor than the re-
publicans of the next House will have,
and while there may be good natured
rivalry between individuals as we'll as
sections, every republican will have
the satisfaction of knowing that a
good speaker is bound to be chosen.
While it is understood that Repre-
sentatives Grosvenor, of Ohio; Hop
kins. and possibly Cannon, of Illinois;
Henderson, Of Iowa; Dalzell, OF Penn
syltania, Mercer, OF Nebraska;
Moody, of Massachusetts, and Sher
man and Payne. OF New York. will be
candidates, the only avowed eandi-
date who has been to Washington
since the announcement of Mr.. Reed :
retirement, is Mr.. Payne, of New
York. who succeeded the late Repre-
sentative Dingley as chairman of the
ways and means committee and floor
leader of the republicans.
