For the past two weeks even Canadian papera have been filled with reports of t Jo Dreyfus trial now in progress at Reim s, France. No eveot of modern times has oc- casioned such world wide interest, a d never has Paris, the great capitel of t e French Republic, been so stirred up by n y event t.ince the last revolut-ora It is sem what difficult ta'underst sud the case or get at ite merits from the reparts of the evie, deuce as it is published from day to day n the papers. Witnesees, high and low, haire been examined, and their evidence has been published in eXteneo, but, the French sys- tem of tsking evidence seems ste--be so dif- ferent from anything in our ,coutto that a person has t3 wade through columns of verbiage before anything satisfying or in- t3Iligent is reached. In a British or Ameri- can court the witnesses would bs required to testify only of facts of which they Wore personally cognizent, but, at thie trial, the evidence is more like a long drawn out ar- gurneat in favor of the guilt or banocence of the defendant, in which all manner of sus - picion or conjecture has full play. The witness plays the part of an advocate more than a witness. Thifi makes the evidence confusing, ituot almost distraeting to the ordinary reader, and it is thus difficultlto get at the real merits of -the case. Captain Dreyfus, who is of Jewish ances- try, was a young and promisirg officer in the artillery corps of the French army. Some four or five years ago it became known to the authorities that important military secrets, compromising to France, had been furnished foreign powers, suppos- edly Germany. Dreyfus was sopectecl of being the betrayer of his country. He was court martialed, convicted, and condemned, to banishment and imprisonment. From first to last Dreyfus protested his innocence, and it was more than suspected that he was being made the scape goat for others higher in authority, and that his trial was any - tilling bet fair and honest. It subeequen tly transpired that he was the victim of a base conspiracy. A confession which he was suppoaed to have made was aftewards proven to be a forgery, and the man who was guilty of the forgery, in a fit of re- morse,, committed suicide. Other doou- menta which were used as evidence to con. viot hirn were also proven to be forgeries. These facts becoming known, although the military authorities did all in their power to -suppress. them, the populace became aroused over the affair, and the Government of France was forced by a section of the people- to institate a neW investigation. This investigation is now in progress, and is in the shape of a militar court martial, and is being held before a bench of officers high in the army. Dreyfusl although still a prisoner, has been brough from his for- eign prison, and is now on rial at Rennes. What the result of this tria will be, it is difficult, at present, to • rediet. There seems to be little doubt as t the innocence of Dreyfus, and that he is he victim of a terrible conspiracy. The supposition is that the information whic Dreyfus is ac- cused of having given to for ign powers was given by others, and that of cers prominent and powerful in the army a e the real mil- prita, and that they sold, r attempted to sell, their country for gold. It Dreyfus is declared or found to be inno•ent, the crime mey ultimately be faste ed upon these others high up in authority and office, and these men air? using their utmost efforts to prevent the real facts of the ing out, lest they themsels case from com- es be incrimin- ated. Even the members of the tribunal now trying Dreyfus seem te be so preju• diced against him, either through self-inter- est or otherwise, that they cannot help showing bias. And, viewed from this light, it would seem as if his chances for escape are not of the brightest. These officials, also, are supported by those of the populace and officials who are under their iufluentse and pay, but there is a large class of the people who seem desirous that justice shall be done. As an example of the desperate lengths to whi Ai the element o posed to Dreyfus are prepared to go in ord r to frus- trate the ends of juetice, Maitre abori, an eminent lawyer, who was Dreyfus' chief de- , fender, and vshom the oppoeitio feared, was waylaid a few days ago and oh t. For- tunately, however, the wound was not mor- tal, and it is expected Lebori will be suffi- ciently recovered to take his place in court again before the trial is dosed. In the meantime Paris is terribly excited over the affair, and there is great danger of a revolu- tion. The facts of the matter are, that the military _compose the dominant power in France ; they practically rule the Govern. merit and the people, and the inilitary are ruled by officers who" have become BO cor- rupt and depraved am to be a terror to the country. From the highest to I the lowest ranks of the army, trickery, scheming and villainy of the grossest kinde SII)em to be rampant, and the whole army is dominated by a pack of as vile rascals ever went unhung. Under these eircu stances, no matter what may become of oor DreyfUs, whether he be liberated, or whether ho be longer held as a ykOtim of his rascally super - hire, the outlook for the French Republic iii anything but bright. Tho French Republio seems ready to fall to pieces from its own inherent rottenness. Editorial Notes and Comraentst The Mail says : "It is to be hoped that the committee charge of the arranget meats fel. Sir Richard's meeting will no forget to send an invitation to Hon. Jimm Farr." Why, bless you, the Hon. Jimmy i a Tory ; he voted for the Tory candidate i West Huron at the last election, and swore to it. The Mail Should not poke fun at Its own friends, Some people are very severe on thebouk- horbors and have no good words for them. They appear to *mprove, however, with tinel of last week aye : " The Doukhobors °loser acquaintance The Pilot Mound Sen. already here having proved desirable farm help, has increased ' the demand for that class ot labor, and a number of other far- mers have forwarded applications to Com- missioner McCreary or a number of them." ; -t- At the last ineetin of the General Aseem- bly of the Presbyterian church of Canada it was resolved to raise a million dollars' cen- tenary fund, the rnoney to be invested and the interest to pe used in furthering the various church schemes. The clergymen of the denomination have thus far set a good ex -ample to their People by subscribing most liberally to the innd. Already 195 minis- ters have subscribed the vereeliberal sum of $29,292. If the laity follow the example of the clergy, the amount, large though it is, will be forthcoming by the time appointed. -see__ . The Teronto Telegram says : " The Globe and the Mail is eady to swear that the I says that the Har y Government is doing a great deal to build peorhouses in Ontario, Laurier Government is doing a great deal more to fill these pborhouses with the ruined victims of Grit extravagance." The genial proprietor of the Telegrarri does not seem to be among the " ruined victims " at any rate. Any person who cen pay three thou- sand dollars in hard cash for taxes, and smile over the process, as Mr. Robertson did last week, is not on the road to the poorhouse. The Mail and Empire designates the last session of the.',Dominion Parliament the "Scandal aeesion." There were some Bean - dale investigated, but the worst of t em 13 pale into insignificance in comparison st ith the mest innocent scandals which were ot only investigated but proven at preceding seseions under the old regime. Has the, Mail forgotten such scandals as the men- or - able Pacific scandal,t he Macgreevy-Connolly scandal, the Langevin block beandal, the Curran bridge scandal and others too num- erous to mention. Anything that was en- quired into last eession was innocent, if not virtuous, in loomparieon with these scandals. Harvest operations have comnienced, al- though they have not yet become general, in Manitoba. Next week, however, harvest will be,genensl all over Manitoba and the Territories. The wheat crop, so. far, is re- ported good, much above the average, ex- cept in a few localities where it has been cut down and destroyed by hail storms. The weather, thus far, has also been most favorable. There has as yet been no frost, the weather being dry and warm, just what is required for ripening the grain and per- mitting of its succeasful harvesting. If this kind of weather continues for a few weeks longer, Manitoba will have the largeet wheat crop it has ever had. 1 The statement comes from Victoria, British Columbia, that two members of the , Provincial Legislature who formerly sup. ported the Semlin rovernment will be in opposition to them when the Legialature meets a,gain. These are Hon. Joseph Mar- tin and Mr. McPherson. ' As the Govern- ment will not gain any strength from the Opposition, and as it had only ii majority of three, its fate seems to be sealed. It will likely be defeated as soon as the Legislature meets, and there will be another appeal to the people. Ais the parties are so evenly divided, if "Fighting Joe " keeps straight and does not " lose his head 1 he can give his old coileagees heaps of tro ble, and he is just the man to do it. i Mr. James pool, was in 0 of the largest Britain, and h ndled the tria shipment of chickens sent y the Department of Agri- culture last year.

There is a -good deal of talk juit now about West Ontario, as to who will be the successor of the late Speaker Edgar as rep- . resentative of the constituency in the Do- minion Parliament._ West Ontario is a Grit hive, and, in a straight party eon - test, a Tory candidate would have no chance to see daylight: This being the ease, the Tories are casting around to see in what manner they can beet divide the Grit forces. There is a large temper- ance element in the coriatitueney, and, as is frequently the °ate, the majority of the temperance people are Grits. It is consid- ered certain that the straight Grits will have a candidate in the field, and the dodge now being attempted is to induce the tem- perance people to bring out Mr. F. S. Spence, the well known temperance advo. oate of Toronto. Mr. Spence. of course, is a Grit, and, if he runs, he will get the Grit temperance vote, and, in this way, split the Grit vote in the riding, and the straight Tory will thus get in between them, ea ib is result expected the stick to their the other.
