The deliverance of the Due d'Orleans
In reference to the Dreyfus case will
scarcely have any perceptible influence
upon the final setlement of tlx- affair
unless It shall cause the friends of the
persecuted captain to pursue their ef?
forts for his vindication with greater
earnestness and zeal than ever. It is
by no means likely that this represen?
tative of the old monarchy has a great
amount of influence with the French
people, who will not unnaturally im?
agine that he is making a bid for the
support of the army by bis bombastic
defence of that branch of the govern?
ment service. It would be well for
this ambitious young wielder of pic?
turesque language to remember that
rhetoric is not proof and his mere as?
sertion that Dreyfus is guilty does not
outweigh the declarations and confes?
sions of infamous characters connected
With the case who say that the whole
affair was a laborously hatched out
scheme.
Besides if the claims that the re?
cords will prove the captain guilty un?
der a retrial are well founded It is dif?
ficult to understand why his enenies
should so strenuously object to a revis?
ion. Their insane efforts to balk a re?
opening of the case at any cost puts
them In a rather suspicuous light.
Men of real honor never object to
their being placed beneath the search?
light of the most minute judicial exam?
ination. It is only French and Spanish
"honor" that asserts its infallibility
and then feels aggrieved because the
balance of the world Is too intelligent
to be duped into believing the asser?
tion.
sgs? Secretary Alger'sdetermination tu al?
low the privates who served in the
Cuban and Porto Riean campaigns to
tell their stories of the ireatmcM*W4hey
-O received, without having the fear of a
courtmarshal before their eyes, de?
serves commendation. There is a wide?
spread demand for the truth regarding
the conduct of these campaigns.
Naturally a large majority of the men
who served in the ranks have felt a
delicacy in making statements which
might seem to be intended as a re?
flection upon their superior officers. A
thorough investigation should be made
and this can only be accomplished by
taking away the seal of silence whic h
fear of courtmartlal has placed upon
the tips of many of the soldiers. The
\l. Secretary should be congratulated up
5s'..on his action in behalf of an honest in
r vestlgatlon into the matter.
S;.' Mr. Kid McCoy announces thai he
sees no reason for holding further con?
ferences with Mr. Cotbett. He will be?
stow a great favor upon the world by
? refusing to develop his observing fat -
Si ultlcs any further.
Senator Hoar thinks of the "bunko"
Same which was played on his esteem?
ed Ohio contemporary and gently pulls
down the corner of his eyelid and asks
the administration if it sees anything |
green.
Now tliat Aguinaldo finds it neces?
sary to send out a batch of denials |
every morning there can be no doubt
that he is a great man.
