manners and morals must have, and
will have. an uplifting influence upon
our city in all the departments OF
its life. and besides it will have great
weight in increasing the efficiency
and power for good OF our public
school system here. We know OF no
place in Virginia where more has
been gathered from its educational
institutions than here in our city.
The fredericksburg College and the
Presbyterian Homehaye co-operated
in elevating all our people Aside
from the material and financial as
pect of having these institutions To-
Gated in our midst. which alone are
very great, the moral tone and intel
lectual standard OF our people have
been enriched by them. So it is and
will be by having the normal here,
even though it be for short while;
and besides all this. it may result in
our keeping some of the normal
teachers here, for these moonlight
nights when the lassie teachers and
Fredericksburg beaux are wont to
strole and talk Of music, flowers, sip
soda water and eat ice cream. what
will be the end no one knows. Some
of our fair teachers may be con
strained to stay among us as citizens
of our city. Who knows? We hope

THE vINplclTloN OF pHrYrrS


The whole world will rejoice at the
viudicatiou of Captain Alfred ORGY
fns at Tire hands of the French SUI
premc Court and at his rciuState-
mcnt and promotion i'm the French
army. Outside of France there has
never been doubt in the minds OF
the people anywhere that the iulg-
ment of the court at Rcuncs was the
result of the ioulcst conspiracy that
ever blackcucd the record of the mill
tarv of any country in modern
times. and the vast majority OF the
civilians of France have always been
convinced that am innocent man was
convicted. while practically all the
officers of the Frcna, army knew it.
Military courts are all we'll nigh uni
versallv unjust i'm their vcrlictS.
This is 50 for two reasons. first. a
lack of knowledge of the rule OF evil
dence ON the part OF the presiding OF
fcerS. resulting in theiutroductionoi
hearsav evidence and all manner OF
incompetent testimony; and second,
because military trials are 50 often
inspired hy antagonisms which
grow up in army circles. In addi-
ton 10 these usual causes. which
contributed TO Drel fus' conviction.
there was at the timeof his trial. and
probably now, an intense hatred OF
the Jews i'm France, and Capt. Drey-
fus WAS "a jew. There was little
chance. Therefore before a military
court for him. and the forgcrieS and
false swearing Of his fellow officers,
aided 10y the incomPetency, prejudice
and dishonor OF his Judges encom-
passed his downfall.
Justice has been tardy. she has
Travelled indeed with leaden feet. but
after years of suffering it comes to
Captain Drcyfus and his faithful wife
a. recompeucc Tor their fortitude
and the persistence with which they
struggled for it. Nothing that the
Freuch government can now do Will
wipe ont the injustice which has been
done. but the atouement is all that
could be expected OF asked. and it is
something AIT least for Capt. Drcyius
to know that his children cannot
now be branded as the children OF "a
traitOr.
