Captain Alfred Dreyfus is to come
into his own again, and justice, though
tardy, will be finally forthcoming
He has not only been acquitted of all
charges of attempting to sell mill
tary secrets, but the War office is
actually planning to restore him to
the army with the rank of lieutenant
colonel and give him regiment into
the bargain. France Is great and has
a glorious history, but even to this
day that nation is capable of doing
things that make one feel for the
nonce that we are all back In the dark
ages-and the Dreyfus incident Is
one of these things What it was all
about those who actually participa-
ted in 1t will perhaps never clearly
underst and, but while it lasted it was
intensely absorbing and tragic. 1t Ia
to be hoped that It will not pass en-
tirely out of memory until it has
served in some way to bring home to
the French people the much needed
lesson that prosecutions based upon
race prejudice and religious prejudice
always react and sometimes with ter.
rife torce.

lively little because Of their shelter.
In some respects the situation
resembles that which confronted
General Grant in his advance on
Richmond. Grant was compelled
to throw the forces of the Union
army against the breastworks
which Lees men had erected and
it was not strange that the battles
in that campaign cost thousands
of lives on the Federal side. II
the Russians make as stubborn a
defense as Lee did it will take the
Japanese probably all summer to
get within sight Of Port Arthur
and then they will have still the
hardest part Of the fighting to 60.
There seems to be but one of

relations of each of these to the
Judicial department are matters
that are not clearly determined
either by constitution or by prece-
dent and there is at all times
danger of a conflict of authority.
The peculiar conditions existing
in Colorado appear to have de-
veloped a peculiar legal difficulty
for which there ID no determining
precedent or enactment and the
supreme court will have to make
its decision with regard not only
to the elaborate and delicate mat
ters involved in this case, but also
with regard to any future cases of
similar sort that may arise.
If the courts decide against the
extraordinary power Of the governor
to act in times of public crisis, it
will forbid all future governors to
act and it will deprive the govern
ment and the law of its supreme
defense in time of danger. What
ever may he thought of the wis
dom Of justice of Governor Pea
body's actions very few thoughtful
citizens of the state would desire
to see the supreme court that would
deprive all future governors of the
power to act promptly and effect
lively In times Of supreme crisis.
And on the other hand If the
court decides in favor of the
governors action: it will open q
loophole for autocl attic action that
may involve most serious conse.
quences in the future. There have
been governors of Colorado in
whose hands the power to sus.
pend ordinary laws and to ignore
the courts, would have been most
unsafe and there may be future
governors IT the state in whose
hands such power will Ike still
more dangerous.
Whatever the courts decision
may be it will he an extremely i'm.
portant one, and in all probability
it will be one that will afford
reasonable grounds for criticism
and dissent. The judges of the
court arc right in taking plenty o.

BALTIC SEA SQUADRON.

Itis not likely that Russia's
Baltic sea squadron can possibly
reach Port Arthur in time and in
condition to render any assistance
to the besieged port.
1t has been suggested that the
fleet would 60 through the suez
canal, then the route around the
Cape of Good Hope was men,
toned and finally the route around
Cape Horn. The latter is the
longest journey Of them all AMI if
the warships left in July they
would not arrive in the waters of
the Orient in time to be of any
service this year.
The most practicable route is by
way Of the Suez canal. But Eng
land has taken such positive
ground upor the subject of coaling
that the only recourse of the Rus
slams seems to be to carry the
colliers with them. And rs they
will have no place to re-cosl after
leaving their home waters they
will be in bad shape for au extended
warfare in the far east.
They cannot get into Port Ar
thur or Vladivostok or any of the
other Russian Ports without en-.
countering the squadrons of the
Japanese. The latter have posses.
sion of the principal ports, have
abundant supplies Of coal and ART
in every way equipped for a pro
longed contest.
The fate Of Port Arthur, i
would seem, rests more with thos,

The recent storming OF Kin
Chow by the japanese demons
trates the great fatalities that must
follow when Notifications are taken
10y assault. Modern warfare has
practically made this system OBJ
selete, but if loss of life is totally
disregarded it can still be done.
If the Russians continue to fight
on the defensive and the Japanese
use their storming tactics, while it
may show great bravery and dash,
there is likely to be time when
Japan will need her soldiers and
need them badly. This reckless
way Of tighting-.iighting only to
die has seldom won in the end.

PEAS FOR HOGS

What is known as "hog peas
have been grown extensively in
the San Luis valley and found to
be excellent feed for fattening
hogs. These peas, we are told are
we'll adapted to our soil and climate
and grow in great profusion. Now
that we must raise hogs for the
packing company our farmers
should investigate this matter. So
far as their fattening qualities are
concerned they have been thorough
ly tested and found to be equally
as good as corn to put on a proper
finish. 1t generally takes from
thirty to forty days to shape up
the average stocker.

WRESTLING MTu 4 HARD JOB.

A rather unusual step has been
taken by the Colorado supreme
court in asking leading attorneys
to submit briefs in the Meyer
habeas corpus case. Such an
action is indicative both Of the
importance of the case to the pub
lie interests and the difficulty of
the legal points involved. Briefly
stated the point at issue is whether
the governor Of the state has the
constitutional right to suspend the
ordinary process Of law and to
govern district by military force
without interruption from the
courts, when in his opinion it be-
comes necessary to do so Oh ac-
count Of rebellion, insurrection,
invasion or other grave public
danger. -
1t is the general belief that the
constitution and laws are intended
to provide for every emergency
that can arise. But this is not the
case. There sre certain contin-
gencies Of sucl, All exceptional ma
ture that the constitution and law
makers have found it necessary to
leave things in doubtful state,
with the expectation that the good
judgment and common sense and
patriotism of the citizen would
reach the right results in times of
special danger. The men who
wrote the United States constitu-
ton at the end Of the eighteenth
century could not possibly have
forseen and they could not
have provided for the condition Of
affairs which confronted President
Lincoln when I've assumed the
duties of his office: And in q
lesser degree Governor Peabody
has been struggling with a similar
proposition.

THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.

The battle by which the JapA-
nese took possession of Kin Chow
and drove the Russians from their
entrencl,ed positions near that
place was part of the movement
the former are making for the cap
ture of Port Arthur.
BY this victory they gained an
important advantage, but it should
not be supposed that the way has
thereby been laid open for their
advance to the gates Of Port Ar
thur. On the contrary, the Rus.
slams, whose losses were much less
than those of the Japanese, have
simply fallen back to other defen,
sive works, where the fighting will
have to be resumed. The fartht,
they are pushed back the more
fierce will tho struggle become,
until at last the Notifications
around Port Arthur itself are
retched.
That port is strongly defended
by extensive works on land rs well
as by the vessels now in its harbor
When the fighting reaches that
point the strength Of Russia will be
concentrated, whereas Japan will
in the meantime have lost man,
