THE DREYFUS INFAMY AGAIN

Paris has had another touch of the

it is to be hoped is sporodic, of the
Dreyfus infamy The body of Zolo.
the novelist, and the servant and de-
fender Of French honor and righteous
ness by his courageous appeal for JUS
tice to Dreyfus, met with bitter and
in some cases ridiculous oppression.
One French. gentleman, with title
which had been secured by mill
tary adventurer of Napoleons time,
threatened to remove the remains OF
his grandfather from the Pantheon
in order to protect them from contain
nation; and there were furious
speeches and editorials, and recrude-
sence of that shouting for the army
which sickened the whole world when
1t was heard in court on the lips OF
| dishonored French generals. The
| body Of ZolO was quietly taken to the
Pantheon and public exercises were
held in that great building on Thurs
day OF last week. AS the president
of France, the Premier, and other Min
listers were taking their departure at
| the close OF the ceremonies, mill
tary writer of some standing, GregOri
| by name, drew a revolver and fired
two shots at Major Dreyfus, slightly
iniuring in the forearm the victim Of
race hate and military passion. The
Pantheon was filled with men Of dis
tinction, and the reports Of the shots
caused intense excitement. For q
moment everybody thought Of the
president. In an instant, however,
the wOuld-be assassin was surrounded
by soldiers and protected from the
fury OF q crowd that probably would
have made short work with him. Like
everything connected with the prose-
cution OF Dreyfus, this attempted as
sassination was contemplate in its
meaness; the first shot was fired from
behind Dreyfus's back! Paris is now

It is not the purpose Of the Times to
criticise the city council in bringing
to their attention the fact that the
recent resolution passed by them for
bidding fireworks and fire crackers
within the city limits will effectually
prevent the business men and COM
mercial club from going ahead with
the celebration, because the peo-
pie will not come to Twin Falls un-
der such a drastic restriction OF their
accustomed privileges on that day,
to make all the noise and uproar pos
sible. The Times appreciates the
spirit with which the city council
passed the resolution and that 1t was
done with view OF stopping danger
of fires and accidents, and this paper
heartily accords with it in its spirit
of protection for the business houses,
but it does seem as though the re-
strictions were too strenuous. That
the use Of giant fire crackers and fire
works within the fire limits Is danger
Gus is admitted by all and a resolu-
ton to that effect would have been
sufficient, but to enforce the rule
within the corporate limits will prove

police force Of this city and will re-

the rear OF some barn or hay stack
to shoot off his fire crackers with
the result that ten times as many
fires may occur as from the open cele-
bration on the Observation-Disclosures

could easily be seen and extinguish-
ed. The average American boy, big or
little is a noise maker and to shut him
off on his perogative for the one day
in the year when he can exercise It,
will result in only one condition, that
