THAT STREAM OF DISTRACTION.

The misinterpretation oi the atti- tude of The Journal-Courier towards outside criticisms of Connecticut folks by the Waterbury American compels us to add word to those already spoken upon the subject, May we, however, before passing to 1t express our qualification At the estimate placed upon our article by the Amer lean. It says we treat the subject with becoming seriousness" We are moved only by becoming serious ness" in the editorial comments we are making from day to day upon whatever has to do with the state campaign In Connecticut
 The American says that we fail "to note that the abuse of Mir. Lilley was only the provoking incident and not the thing most objected to, which Is the persistent dlsparaRement of the citizenship of Connecticut as too dull to know what 1t ought to have and to spirtless to feel the yoke of the machine and corporate domination. j" We beg decidedly to differ In the first place in 90 far as the newspa- pers of the country outside of Cornec- tlcut are printing things about the cit Izenship of the state of Connecticut that are disturbing or offensive, they are moved wholly and exclusively by their resentment when he, without warrant charged the congress of the United States with dishonor. They are not attacking the citizenship of Connecticut. They know that the cit izenship of Connecticut ranks equal with that of any state in the union. They are not attacking the men in the state of Connecticut who are mak- ing Tor the tune Del0E JUS El1lTenSnlp D ridiculous, and the methods which they have employed to carry out in a nominating convention their selfish ends. The citizenship of Connecticut cannot be criticised until it has been proved that it is ready to ratfy the Lilley bargain. It will be time enough to do that in November, when if the electorate does what we are justified in believing 1t will do, the newspapers of the country will ring with compi- ments for the citizenship of Connecti- cut
 On tho other hand there is no per. sistent disparagement of the citizen ship of Connecticut For the past two years the press of the country has had It's attention drawn to an ad- ministration which was doing a Spar tan's work in undertaking to rid the halls of legislation of lobbyists, tc raise the tone of every department, tc

rld the official life of the state Of im- proper officials and to promote legis- lntlon of reform character If there has been persistent disparagement' it only began to be SO when the Woodruff administration was slven its walking papers in order that the "Lil- Icy Incident might be porpetrated, During the administration of Cover nor Mclean, Connecticut was famous the country over for high class execu- tive efficiency dignity and cloquence. ono will look in vain through the past history of Connecticut for persistent disparagement,' or for any other kind of disparngement and regret which newspapers of the standing of the Wa terbury American and Hartford Cour- ant have not lndulged In and proper ly so. It 1t always the shining individ- ual who brings tho state into discred- 1t, as Mir Lilley brought 1t into dis credit when he undertook his novel and reckless submarine voyage,
 The Journal-Courler has not said that we deserve the insulting false hood" We have said, and we repeat, that there could be no criticism of the ! citizenship of Connecticut had Con- necticut men not given the opportuni- ty to the critics When the record Is searched it will be found that in no case has their been criticism based upon pure malice, which is the kind of criticism we all object to. We deserve 10 be criticised when we misbehave. But even yet the citizenship Of Con- necticut has not mlsbehavel in the Lilley incident. IL will be seen what 1t will do when the polls are thrown open.

whatever If the Woodruff policies are democratic, then Connecticut democ- raey has a perfect right to re-adopl them and work for them
 Without attemptIng to designate the particular man who should lead the democratic forces this year, the Sem tnel takes the liberty to state that in this particular community there Is d distinct sentiment In favor of George M, Gum of Milford, So far as this community Is concerned, there seeml to be no doubt at this stage of the cam palgn that he would be an acceptable candidate, There may be others who would make as good run, but hls name Is mentioned more often than any other and It is not believed that his failure to vote for Bryan in 1896 would materially affect his chances of election, The Bryan issue does not seem likely to enter Into the state cam l'paign,

 t is true that they are supported in their opinion that Lllley was wholly wrong and the committee wholly right by one Connecticut editor, Col. osborn of the New Haven journal Courier. But to accrcdt him with omniscience because he happens to agree with them in this matter Is 70 exalt him to the importance of John the Baptist who has arisen tn a wilderness of ignorance and wickedness and to lmpute to most of the rest of us 2 very uncomplment nry place In moral and mental life Should 1t not occur to them that even SO great and good man may be led in the heart Of an acrimonious cam paign to make charges against his own state that he may in the coolness of rec Nection be ashamed Of?

4 JUSTIFIED EXCEPTION.

He cannot call himself loyal citi- zen of any country who does not at all times wish that the strictest of jus tlce be meted out by the courts of his land to all men according to their deserts, whether rich or poor, power ful or without influence, His citizen ship alone breathes of true patriotism who at all times wants just such court reforms as Candidate William H Taft, for example, has this year pledged himself to bring about if his eountrymen will give him, by their votes, the opportunity to do SO, as their chief executive. Yet there nfre- quently comes time when the high est of patriotic motives are best served when certain men do not receive the strlctest of justice, Such cases are rare. Such one may be found in the case of Grcgori, the man who shot and attempted to kill Major Alfred Dreyfus In Paris last June at the time of the canonlzation of Emil Zola In the Pantheon.
 It is novel excuse when man puts up such a defense as Louis A., Gregorl did He said he fired the two much-dlscussed revolver shots not at Dreyfus but at "Dreyfusism Similar ly, perhaps, would our anarchists try to tell us their shots would not be directed against our president, should the right opportunity come, but against the existence of the United States ns typihed by its president. Gre gori said he wanted to make public protest against the presence of troops at the ceremony and admitted that blank cartridges would have served his purpose quite as well but he did not think of them. He said he had no homicidai intentions, and there is good reason to believe him. Never theless man of his evident intelli- gence must understand that such shootlngs are not to be tolerated l. Is no less dangerous to be shot at as plain Captain Dreyfus than as the ex- ponent of "Dreyfusism Life is dear in either case, and must not be en- dangered
 Yet. as weak as Gregori's defense was, there can be none to find serious fault with the French court and Jury for freeing him. This Is an instance when higher interests are at stake than those of the two men intimately concerned The Dreyfus incident from first to last has been lamentable Certain 1t is that Dreyfus, the man, has been made to suffer such torture physical and mental, as few men arc called upon to endure and live. But it Is for Dame Frances best interestr to try to eradicate 'Dreyfussm' from the minds and memories of her countrymen as quickly and as effect ually as is possible. Wisely did the court officers rule with great strict ness at the Gregori trial that all ref omitted. Wisely, too, dIi the jury de- eide, by freeing Gregori, to make a recpenlng of that Issue less possible Whether Gregori was at fault in what he did or not was not the matter of supreme importance.

SONG.

Above the edge of dark appear the
 lances of the sum Along the mountain ridges clear hls
 rosy heralds run; The vapors down tho valley go Like broken armies, dark and low. Look up, m. heart, from every hill In folds Of rose and daffodil The sunrise banners flow, Q fly away on silent wing, ye boding
 owls of night. o welcome little birds that sing the
 eomng-in of night. For new and new, and ever-new, The golden bud within the blue; And every morning seems to say: There's something happy on the
 way
 And God sends love to you.'
