CAPTAIN DREYFus CASE.
1t Is Hoped France Will Clear His
Record.


So clearly to the public mind was
the innocence of Captain Dreyfus es-
tablished at the Rennes courtmartial
in 1899 that there is no approach in
the present hearing to tie wide
spread interest manifested at that
time. 1t is now nearly IL years since
the Dreyfus case opened. Captain
Dreyfus was accused of having sold
military secrets to Germany His first
trial was a secret one. He was con-
victed, subjected to military degrade
ton and was transported to the lonely
Isle du Diable.
The testimony produced against him
by several officers was shown to have
been false, and one after another they
resigned, committed suicide OF were
removed from the active list of the
army.
Still the war office maintained it's
belief in the guilt of Dreyfus Finally,
however, an order for a retrial was
obtained. Again sentence of guilty
was rendered, but on evidence of the
flimsiest character. Dreyfus was SEN
fenced to imprisonment for 10 years,
from which the term of his previous
confinement was to be deducted. The
members of the courtmartial, though
declaring him guilty, united in rec
concentration for mercy, and he was
paTdoned by President Loubet.
While this gave Dreyfus his liberty
it did not officially establish his inno-
cence nor restore to him his military
rights. He has been living quietly at
his home for the past six years, wait
ing for the opportunity, which he be-
lieves has now come, to obtain full
justice.

Will Resign Positions Rather than
Forego Them.
Iowa is having a strange experience
with her antipass law, which went
into effect July T. The law forbids
the acceptance of free passes by all
public officials and delegates to politi-
cal conventions. The result is that
public officials and delegates to con-
ventions are threatening to resign
their positions by the score all over
the state. They announce that the
pass is of more value to them than the
office and emoluments thereof. The
mayor of Tama, one of the largest
towns on the Northwestern road, has
resigned. This will necessitate calling
special election at a considerable
cost to taxpayers.

Humble Pioneers.

When great calamities like the Bal
timore fire, the Galveston tidal wave
and the destruction of San Francisco
sweep away palaces of wealth and the
victims go to work to restore them
and even to build better, we hear Of
the noble pioneer spirit of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is an honor to belong to
the race with these heroic citizens and
to dwell In the land where such things
are not phenomenal, but come as a
matter of course But there are unher-
aided calamltles all over this broad
country every day that point the Same
moral.
Forest fires, tornadoes, cloud bursts
and rain floods, to say nothing OF innu-
merable fires which wipe out towns
and villages, are constantly driving
communities from their homes, leaving
wrecks behind and bringing poverty
to thousands who have only their bare
hands with which to restore what they
have lost. Capital is always ready to
rebuild a city on an established COM
merciul site But the farmer has only
his muscle to fall back on; the farm
village must begin with shanties and
struggle along for years until 1t reach
es the painted cottage and brick store
stage again. Here is where the Amer
lean spirit IS seen ut its finest, the splr-
it, the indomitable pluck that nerved
the early pioneers when they pushed
from the coast through the wilderness
barrier over the plains and across the
Rockies. Their case is not so dramatic
rs whom city is RACED in a night.
Their suGfcrings are unseen, almost I'M
noted by the world, and they struggle
to their feet again uncheered except by
their own courageous hopes.

Some OF the radical labor members
of Ike British house of commons pro-
pos, to abolish the house of lords just
to set rid of the peers as an obstacle
to labor LEGISLATION. This recalls
Sandy's plan TO 'joost abolish sin"
when 1t was found that the existence
of evil was a tough nut for theology
to crack. Abolishing the house of
lords is not, however, an original idea
with the labor men. The commoners
of England have often talked that
way, but the upper chamber is there
yet with power to obstruct legislation
"of the people, by the people, for the
people"
The particular act of the lords which
raised the ire OF the British working
men was their refusal to bar foreign
laborers from the English markets
ties threatened to appeal to the coun-
try on this single Issue unless the gov
ernment should take action to Dust the
lords from power. 1t Is not at all
probable that the house of lords will
ever be abolished at the hands of labor
or any other factor in British politics.
England would not be England with
out its lords any more than without
its crown. So the labor men and all
the commonCrs who stand for aboli-
ton on general principles must make
the best of it and look upon the lords
evil as the orthodox world does upon
the mission of sin-something to keep
good people busy.
