THE S0XG OF THE TYPEWRITER
GIRL.
"It's 'clickityj click, clickity
click,' v . ,v
'Till the very sound of it makes
me sick;
'Clickity click' from morn till
night,
And then in my dreams until
broad daylight, .,
'Clickity , click' my living to
win,
'Till my finger tips are all worn
thin. -
'Clickity click' till my brain's
a whirl" ,
So sang a pretty typewriter girl.
'Clickity click' with the senior
pard
Eying me over his spectacles
' hard; '
'Clickity click' with the junior
pard '
Whispering, 'really, don't work
so hard.' , .
'Clickity click' till my eyes are
blurred, ' :y
.And I scarcely can see of my
notes a word, . tX?
'Till my 'frizzes droop and my
bangs uncurl,' - -
And I wish there was never a
typewriter girl.
,c Clickity t click' ' is the only
song . . V ' ' y
That rings in 1 my ears though
1-' v -.the heart may ache, st-y :.-
Still the weary fingers no rest
may-take.

The trial at Rennes looks quite
.unfavorable for Dreyfus and
sickening enough to Ioverfebi
justice: Nothing m6re" firmly
fixes the.conyictioh in the ordi-.
nary mind thai Dreyfu iff inttol
cent than the bearing of the
court. Prom dispatches it is
quite apparent that the court Js
determined on reconvicting tne
prisoner. There is clearly a
disposition fa; admit the' flinisie$i
evidence against him and cut off
his able co vnsel from everystrong
point of defense 'possible; Tne
Oerman government will consent
ior Hhe deposition of Schwart
"koppen and the Italian govern
rment that of Panizzardi to be
otaken but even this is denied the
defense. Surely this trial will
lstaiid out - in history as un
precedented in " its mockery of
" justice and a stain on the honor
of the French military regime.
The trial is expected to end
about next Monday. The hope
of justice has ended already. '
It seems that the shooting at
Greenville by Sheppard with in
tent to kill U. S. District Attor-
nev Bernard has scandal at the
bottoW of it regardless of what
the attorney would have the pub
lic believe; There's no mitigation
of his crime and yet it occurs to
the thinking mind that it took
two to ruin that home if it was
ruined.
The prospects of war between
England and the Transvaal grow
more and more threatening. It
even seems inevitable. It seems
foolhardy for the Boers to go in
to a war but still they seem to
be going to risk fighting awhile.
Peace can always be made when
one - side is pretty thoroughly
whipped, as inr our- late experi
ence with Spain.
Apropos to our remarks on
the improvement of the Evening
News, Editor Dowd is good
enough to say:
-
f The Standard itself has made
a number of .marked improve
ments, and fills its field well. "
If the News sees from an im-partial-
standpoint the consuma
tion of our highest ambition it
does us a great kindness in say
ing so. '

Capt. Carter's Side of It
We have at last lit upon some
words from Capt. Carter, of the
U. S. A. Engineer Corps, who is
in disgrace, but whom . the late
phases indicate "was more sinned
against than sinning." In an
interview given the Atlanta
Journal he says :
"Even were I free to do so, I
should not 'answer the many
malicious falsehoods almost daily
sent broadcast from the bureau
of my enemies in Washington,
since no one has had the - man
hood or eourage to father them,
but I shall be glad to have made
public the evidence of friend and
foe alike. It all proves inno
cence. ;
"Being, however, an officer of
the United States army, awaiting
the promulgation of the pro
ceedingsof a court martial before
which I was tried, it is manifest
ly improper for me to give any
interview, so that I cannot now
give to you the convincing proofs
of my absolute innocence as de
veloped on my trial. '
"Those proofs appear, it seems
to me, so clearly in the record of
that trial and are so vividly set
forth in the brief s of my counsel,
each of which refers to the rec
ord in such a -manner ; that ' any
statement therein may be veri
fied, that a' study of that f record
or those briefs will pifesentmore
forcibly than I could speak (even
were ; I at liberty: to s do so), the
great demonstrated truth . that
every act of mine was honest.
"My works .were' conducted to
successful ' l conclusions for less
than the estimated cost, at prices
below the average bf those paid
at other placesoii the c Atlantic
and G ulf coasts from Virginia to
Texas. ' -; -, -r

government'; had no , interest
