HERE, THERE AND Y0NOER.

Senator Tilimap is scheduled to speak
at Seneca on Tuesday, July 81. There
will doubtless be a large crowd there to
hear the blind Senator who fears neither
man nor the devil.

The old darkey's philosophical obser-
vation that "the sun do move" still holds
good, we presume, but for the past ten
days we have had to take it on faith
Possibly, however, it 8 moving in some
other direction.
1t cost the general government just
100000 to extradite Greene and Gaynor
from Canada to this country for trial
expensive luxury. Compared to them
the good citizen is a cheap article.
A Missouri Circuit Court has decided
novel case. The Cahill-Swift Co. sued
customer for $240.S3 for goods bought
from them. The defendant admitted the
purchase, but claimed the Swift Com
pany is a trust, and therefore an illegal
corporation. This was the base Of Do
fendants argument, and the Court sus-
tained it, placing the debt to trust on a
move to Missouri and buy from the
trusts.

journalism lost ono of its ablest men.
Mr.. Logan was gentleman of the old
school, an excellent type of what men
should be. A lawyer by profession, a
soldier from patriotic motives, a news
paper man by choice, q Christian by prac-
tice, he has filled an important place in
public life in this State, and his work
was we'll done. MIR. Logan died at his
home in Charleston last Wednesday,
July 11th, in his 10th year. While we
had little more than a casual acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Logan, yet we feel that a
friend has departed and the State has
sustained distinct loss. He was man
among men -one whom, no matter how
widely one might differ from him in
opinion, yet his very honesty of purpose
and thorough conscientiousness COM
PEELED the highest respect and regard.

The announcement from Paris of the
acquittal and complete vindication of
Alfred Dreyfus has been received with
worldwide approval. Probably no other
case has elected so much interest as this
one, which has long been considered,
particularly by the American press, as
inc very acme 0l military persecution.
His conviction at the noted Reunes
Court Martial condemned him as a
traitor, and the punishment was pubic
disgrace, dismissal from service in the
French army and Imprisonment on
Devils Island. The evidence before the
French Supreme Court shows that Count
Esterhazy, and not Dreyfus, was the
culprit. The case hinged on similarity
of writing, and with exhaustive expert
testimony and the most careful COM
parison of Dreyfus' writing with the
traitorous documents, his acQuittal
comes from the highest Court of the
French Republic, transferring the stigma
of guilt from the man the unprejudiced
public has always felt was innocent, to
another The government will make
every possible reparation for the unjust
punishment. Already Dreyfus has been
restored to his full standing in the army,
and bill will be urged in Parliament
advancing his rank from major to that of
brigadier general. 1t was n long and
terrible wait for Justice, but now that it
has come the French government seems
thoroughly imbued with desire to re-
pair the injustice and crowd honors upon
the man who for years has borne the
punishment and shame that justly be-
longed to another.
