It Is a remarkably vigorous t|c letter, and applies equally as well to i the attitude of the Democracy through- i out the country. One thing which ou has been harped upon so much by the co, Democratic press has been the absurd th( I. story of a secret alliance between Eng- tw land and the United States. He de- 0ai Clares with the greatest emphasis that me > this tale is a "fantastic fiction for the 0u: I voters," and- that the government has thi no idea of seeking entanglements with iU| any other nation. It is able to stand 8ei alone in all respects. ap The Democracy, Secretary Hay de- wo dares, are in the unfortunate position mo of having lost their stock In trade of isli recent years. Every hobby they have em had, including free trade and bad lac % finance, has collapsed. They cannot frc revive the dead issues that have prevailed "from Grant to McKInley." It will be hard, says Mr. Hay, to con- "3 vlace a mujority of our people that we coj are worse off because our flag has gain- th< ed great honor, our possessions have It's i been extended, our position in the world At has been increased, and our opportunity fr< for work and usefulness enormously Th I widened, through the fortunes of war na and the valor of our soldiers and ne sailors. St; Concerning ?he allegation that there an is a secret alliance with England, Sec- ge !. retary Hay declares: th? p "There is no alliance with England, nor an [ with any other power under heaven, except those known and published to the I world, the treaties of ordinary interna- tr< tlonal friendship for purposes of business th and commerce. No treaty other than i these exists: none has been suggested on mi either side; none Is in contemplation. It . has never entered Into the mind of the J President nor of any member of tho gov- ( ernment to forsake, under any induce- h meat, the wise precept and example of ue the fathers, which forbade entangling pr alliances with European powers." cjj There is no equivocation or evasion in this. It is plain language, Incupa- pr ble of misconstruction or distortion. It tQ [ is a direct blow between the eyes at ^ the leaders of the Democracy who are at deceiving the public. Mr. Hay says th further that "even the men who wrote hn the Ohio platform know there Is no *7" alliance." th, Mr. Hay discusses vigorously other of the new and false Issues. He shows 8U the wonderful prosperity and the devel- an | opment of the enormous commercial trade with the nations of the Old I' World, with the balance In our favor, ; and pays his compliments to our foes within the land. . He denied that we jn are a covetous nation. "What is ours at we shall hold." He notes that It was | written of old that a roan's foes shall aa be In his own household. "The simple p|, fact is that at this moment the whole ur world is our friend, except certain I leaders of the Democratic party. All yo countries crowd into our markets, but our opponents say the tariff Is burbar- wj ous. pt "Our achievements In war hnve received v. the praise of other nations, and meet with unjuiti and carping criticism at home. All lo other countries hid us God speed in the __ work of bringing order and civilisation to the Philippines, and it wao lift with a Ai man in Cincinnati the other day to wish _f that 'Otis and his army might he driven into the sea." dii Secretary Hay takes occasion to pa- Vi ' triotlcally suggest that we may take co comfort in the reflection that no lead- eq era can carry all their party into qu courses which their Judgment must nc j condemn and their hearts reject. "There are, thank the Lord, many Democrats in Ohio who do not desire the Pi humiliation of their country or the dls- th honor of their Hag." th To which all patriotic Americans may to well respond amun. fa * st Tlio l>rryl*??

The most qi ? conspicuous of these were: Count Wai- to sen Estcrhazy, a Hungarian by birth. II' and the real criminal, being the author W of the bordereau. Colonel Du Paty do dl f Clam, a friend of Ksterhaxy, und the up man who made the original charge of against Dreyfus. Kdouurd Drumont, w< ji editor of Lu Libre Parole, a Jew bait- ar er. General Mercler, minister of wnr at the time of Dreyfus'nrr ?t. General P Billot, who, as the successor of General wl [ Mercler, refused to reopen the ense. sa General Gonse, under chief of the gfn- a j era! staff. General De Bolsdeffre, er f chief of staff, who resigned when Hen- to j ry confessed. Colonel flandhcrr, head Ui of the intelligence department when Ai Dreyfus was accused. Colonel Henry, wl who forged documents to prove Drey- rn fus guiUy, confessed it and committed at clde. M. Bertillon, commissary of Ice, who swore Dreyfus wrote the dereau. Henri Rochefort, editor of ntranslgeant, violent anti-Semitic >er In Paris. General Zurlinden. Itary governor of Parlf, who ordered arrest of Dreyfus. Marquis de res, who accused Dreyfus early In case, and was murdered In Africa, hese are the priclpal leaders In the ny plot to ruin Dreyfus, and th^ tory of the past few years shows v skilful, how desperate, how brutal, v treacherous they were, and what E vardly and what contemptible ends a which they resorted to accomplish t lr despicable purpose. They, along V h French military and civil Justice, t i the ones who have brought upon fc ince the disgrace from which she Is v suffering. And the end is not c . t Not an Official Doycott. t n connection with the discussion of i i proposed boycott of the Parl3 ex- i iltlon next year on the part of the t >ss of America, England and other t Jons, In rebuke of the brutal verdict 1 unfair methods of the court marI in the Dreyfus case, some mlsun- * -standings have arisen as to the * iracter of the boycott. So far it x i not appeared that the press of ler of the two leading countries has located any official measures of this 1 ture to be taken by their respective rernments. either on the part of the cutive or legislative branches. The 1 a, as the Intelligencer understandsand so stated yesterday, is the 11m- 4l tion of the move to an Individual c :hdrawal of patronage, as an indica- 1 n of the general condemnation of the * :at act of injustice. * 'or once, we are able to agree heart- 1 with our neighbor, the Register, in * position to the Indiscreet purpose of c nator Stewurt, of Colorado, to in- r iduce a resolution at the coming ses- 8 n of Congress for the withdrawal of ^ > United States from any official par- r Ipatlon in the Paris exposition, for i s especial reason. j Che Register is right when it points ? t that the United States government i Laid not, In Justice to itself, or under s rules of international courtesy be- ^ een nations that are at peace with ( ch other, and with agreeable comirclal relations, take such action. But r neighbor need not be apprehensive it so absurd and Ill-advised a resoJon would ever be adopted by the late and the house, or receive the proval of the President. Such un act uld be very undiplomatic, and we ly trust the wisdom of both the IegEitive and executive branches not to dorse the unwise and uncalled for :k of international courtesy coming im the western statesman. Embalming Our Soldier Dead. The Intelligencer is {favored by pies of Manila papers, Freedom and ?

In Freedom the Intclllncer notes some welcome news to jse who have friends In the array. It nounces thut Otln II. Bowers, of the sited States hospital corps, has induced a system of embalming so at the bodies of the nation's dead ly be sent home to their friends in fair state, of preservation. Dne of the difficulties In the way has en to secure fluid strong enough to eserve the bodies In the Philippine mate, ana nereiorore 11 was impuam; to embalm with success. It is now oposed to have u skilled embalmer follow the hospital corps on the Id, and when a body Is discovered to once take charge of it. In this way e remains of soldiers can be brought me looking us natural us the moment ey fell fighting for their country. It is expected that If Bowers succeeds impressing the authorities with the ccess of Ms system it will be adopted, id everything possible will be done bring the bodies of our heroes home natural as in life. The news from Washington published yesterday's Intelligencer that fcenor Scott succeeded In securing the ipointment of two West Virginians i first and second lieutenants, in ace of C. D. Elliott, who withdrew his jpllcation for a major in the urmy to sent to the Philippines. Thd two ung men thus honored ure Dan Men1, of this city, and W. J. White. It ill^ be recalled thut in a recent letter iblished by the Intelligencer, Lieut, in Duzer, of the United States cruiser wa, addressed to Mr. Scott, he rectitnended Mendel for appointment to inapolls, but he was beyond the age requirement. Young Mendel has Hlngulshcd himself, und Lieutenant m Duzer paid him a high tribute. The mmlssion in the army Is to a well ulpped young man. HI.* lighting alllles were well demonstrated in the ivy. It must have been a severe blow to ofessor Edward Atkinson to witness e enthusiastic greeting extended by e people of his homo city of Boston the Twenty-sixth United States inntry, as It marched through the reets, bound for the Philippines, to rht against the patriotic hero, Agtmldo and his followers. It must ive nlso been a heart-breaking lnclnt for the Bryanltes at the headlarters of the antlfl. Such a blow the combination of Mugmump and ryanlte politic-Inns arouses public mpathy, for these shipments of solera may mean thut the Filipino savres may be crushed, and the liberty the oppressed be guaranteed. For DUld not this leave the AtklnHonlany id Bryanltes without un issue? The Kansas City Journal puts the fiole argument In a nutxhell when It ys that the only hope of establishing government by consent of the govned In the Philippines Ik through the aterlng and educating care of the nlted States of America. Every merlcan knows that these Inlanders 111 be given the right of Half governnnt, Just as rapidly as they show an )illty to care for Its duties, und Mr. I < Hot* r ABSMimn Makes the food more < ^ OTALBAjajOl Iryan and his Democratic follower xe doing their level best to postpon he day when the Philippines shal mow the blessings of liberty. This 1 be truth, the whole truth and nothln tut the truth. It Is characteristic of Ohio Republl ans that they have long struggles to he selection of candidates when na lonal questions are involved. This doe tot indicate factions and bad feeling) t signifies confidence in success, an hat the aspirants consider the priz vorth going after. The delightful fall weather we ar tavlng Is a great relief from what w vere experiencing scarcely a week ag< Tor which we are duly grateful DEMAGOGIC APPEAL, The Iowa Democrats to German Vol era of tho State. Washington Post: The decision c he Iowa Democrats to relegate th Inanclal question and make opposltlo 0 so-called imperialism the main issu if the campaign Is based upon the be lef that the large number of voters I hat state who are of German extrac ion will support their ticket. Th owa Democratic leaders are Impresse rith the magnitude of the question a 1 vote-maker, and in arriving at thl inclusion it is necessary for them t egard the voters to whom they appes is being very narrow-minded and un American. In order to present tli luestlon of ' Imperialism" It will b iccessary for the Iowa Democrats t nlsrepresent the attitude of the ad ninistration, and it may be rathetudll Icult for them to do this with any de rree of success right up to the time th rotlng begins. The voters of Iowa who are describe is German-Americans are to be told b he Democratic orators and the Demc :ratic newspapers that it is the ultl nate intention of the administration t orm ai* alliance with England. It wi >e recalled that the Hon. Joseph Ballej he dilettante leader of the Democrat n the house of representatives, som ime ago made a complete expose of th topes of the ndml.nlstK'tion In this dl ectlon, and this In itself Is sufllclen irovocatlon for the Iowa Democrats t issume that the details of the plo tave all been arranged, and that It 1 iniy waiting cunauniuminm. With thiR sort of ammunition ftt hi llsposaK the Hon. Fred White is to r tbout the state and set up an Anglo American scarecrow In every votln >reclnct, and this particular class c roters will be expected to become pan c-strlcken. Perhaps In its present condition th Democratic party can afford to do al nost anything, but it is quite certal :hat there was a time when the me vho were recognized as Its leader vould not dare ro so far as to attemp o divide the voters of the country upo acini lines. By setting up such fals ssucs as the Iowa Democrats are ex jerimpntlng with, the people of th United States who love their countr ibove their party are practically dare io, vote en masse, and It is not idle t issert that this class of people, no mat er what country their ancestors ma lave come from, constitute nn over vhelming majority of the electorate however, it is not at all likely that th owa Democrats will make progres nough to bring about such a state c iffalrs. The Iowa voters, whose fore 'athers were subjects of the Kalsei >ossess sufficient Intelligence to so hrough such campaign material. The mve never faltered In their devotion t :hls country In any crisis of the pas md It Is rather late In the day for ther 0 begin that sort of thing. POINTED PAK AfHlAPHS.
