Till: (iltEAT TRIAL ENDED.
Tho great Dreyfus trial has
come to an end and as we write
this (Saturday) morning it is
with but a shadow of hope that
the verdict of that court will ac
cord with the general sense of
j u stice in the acquittal of Dreyfus.
'M. Damage addressed the court
in favor of his client and his pre
sentation is remarkable for its
cooi logic, its deep pathos, its
strong oense of a righteous cause
and most especially its inoffen
siveness toward a court for whom
few lawyers could conceal their
doubts of justice. So consum
mately skilful along this line is
his pleading that M. Labori, who
could be expected to blister the
consciences of the court from
first to last has declined to ad
dress the court lest he irritate
them and counteract the effects
of his colleague.
The government seems to have
provided well against insurrec
tion are riotions outbreaks.
M Labori expects an unfavor
able verdict but will continue the
struggle with the effort of des
pair to wrench .victory yet from
the arbitraory power.
Semi-official dispatches from
Germany, we notice, exonerate
XJapt. Dreyfus in declaration that
the German embassy never had
any relations directly or indi
rectly with him.
How will those who think the
South incapable of doing justice
to the negro reconcile this per
suasion with the fact that at ,the
trial of tfenry Belegal for assault
on a white woman the jury made
a mistrial on seven for convic
tion and five for acquittal and he
will have the benefit of a new
trial ? Even he con victed riot;
ers have appealed for a new trial
and the plea is entertained Un
biased, discriminating, observa
tion will show to any reasoning
mind that the South today will
make more allowance for the ne
groe's shortcomings, will " go
further to do him justice and will
exercise more philanthropic
beneficence to him than 4 will

lions of mothers for their children

of the world. Twenty-five cents a bot

slows Soothing Syrup," and take no
other kind. (
SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE IS SAUCE
FOR THE GANDER.
Some one has risen on a ques
tion of privilege and asked why
young men should mot bo admit
ted to the State Normal at
Greensboro since young women
are admitted to the University,
the A. and M. College and others.
The Statesville Landmark
spicily says :
"The Landmark's sympathy is
with the girls but if the poor,
down-trodden sisters are to bo
admitted to the male colleges on
all fours with their brothers we
are unable at the present to see
why the brothers should not be
admitted to all the privileges of
the female institutions."
It does seem difficult to find a
good excuse for discrimination
against the pantaloon tribe.
What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
The Rev. T C Hodgiii has been
making pulpit hilarity so con
spicuous at Greensboro as to call
forth an out-cry against the un
seemly method. There is un
questionably little room for any
thing ludicrous in the pulpit.
They run a terrible risk at dese
cration who attempt to make the
gospel interesting and attractive
by methods like 'the political
stump speaker. Mr. Hodgin's
extreme may have the good ef
feet to call attention to the error
and check it in its less conspicu
ous and therefore more insidious
form as practiced by too many.

Brother Lincke,, of the Nashe
ville Graphic, who is just ap
proaching batchelorhood and
whom we recently, saw amid
those-.environments where the
wild waves even carry sweet
messages to sentimental youth
gets off the following: -;

The Biggest Business of All.
Many people will be surprised
to learn that the postal estab
lishment of the United States is
the greatest business concern, in
the world. Charles Emory Smith,
the postmaster-general, writing
in the Cosmopolitan, tells us that
it handles more pieces, employs
more men, spends more money,
brings more revenues, uses more
agencies, reaches more ' homes,
involves more details and touches
more - interests, than , any other
human organization, public or
private, governmental or corpo
rate. The postoffice department
directs 73, 570 pdstoffices, musters
an army of 200,000 employees,
spends this year $105,000,000 and
counts receipts to nearly the
same amount. It handled last
year 6,204,447,000 pieces of mail
matter, of which 2,825,767,000
were letters, so that every min
ute confides 12,000 new messages
to its hands. It manufactured
and delivered postage stamps to
the number of 3,912,821,608, and
the value of $71,788,333. It car
ried 2,069,742,000 newspapers.
