General Stafl Now Fighting Every Point Favora ble to Dreyf us. This is Regarded as a Hopeful Indica tion Judges are not Leagued the Army Conspirators Rennes, 'Aug. 30 Everybody, he aetense included, lis mystified by to day's developments in the court room and the predincts thereof. General Mercier, who heretofoire had att leat the excuse of his name 'being mention ed to justify his interruption of the pro ceedings, today raised a point in re gard to the authorship of the bordereau which apparently bore strongly in the prisoner's favor. He ifisisted upon the importance of a declaration made by one or two witnesses tnat Esterhazy, from the date his name was first con nected with the bordereau, changed the style of Ms handwriting. The defense from the first thought this strange move was the preliminary of the development of a diabolical scheme for the prevention of the ac quittal of Dreyfus simply on the ground that he did not write the bor dereau. There lis now strong conflrma tion of the fact that the headquarters coterie is preparing to , launch the the ory (that Dreyfus was associated in his treason wlith Esterhazy and Weill, and that he is no less guilty because he was not ihe actual writer of the bor dereau. Mercier, however, made no attempt today to follow 'up his suggestion about Eeterbaay's change ofttdwrit- Ing, &qd the lawyers for !he defense ac-H knowledge themselves somewhat puz zled by his manoeuvre. They are also disappointed that the breach among the generals , has beeiv apparanently healed, for Boisdeffre no longer holds aloof from Mercier, Roget and the other extremists .: The latter show a marked revival of their spirits, which have been manifestly;, depressed dur ing the last three or four days by the overwhelming evidence that fche de fendant is thetir victim in no sense. One of the best signs of the situation :is the fact that the generate are mak ing the most determined struggle, at everv ooint raised. This frs excellent evidence that there is no collusion with Mip indares. and that the trtal is genuine in every sense of the word There is -no doubt they will mftke . every possible use of appeals to the esprit de corps, professional prejudice, etc. But they must convince the judges that the onisoner is gulilty in order to ootain tf prd i rrt to that eff edt .

The Lineal Descendent Section Clearly Unconstitutional- Supreme Court not the Crea ture of Fleeting Pdhlic Sentiment. The Silly Cry of Negro Domination Interesting Article on the Cam paign Issue by Frank Nash. Editor of the Gazette. In reading the - opinions of Judges whom I have never seen, I have the habit of forming some mental concep tion, not only of the abiliity. but of the appearance and per sonality of those judges. Of course ' as I discover afterwards, I miss as often as I hit the mark; yet there, is something fascinating in ';he operation. while at the same time it gives inter est to and fastens the attention upon those opinions. Now, Mr. Simmons, in his latest col lection of arguments for the proposed suffrage provision, has saved me all this (trouble, for a likeness of its author accompanies each one of them. These authors, however, are not judges,, not by any manner of means, but simple advocates of the pro side of a legal and political question. AH of ithem are pol iticians, too, or have held political of fice. Some of them are old sinners in this regard. Others have heretofore taken what they fondly imagine to be. a rear seat in the synagogue, and are anxiously craning their necks leettt they should be forgotten and not be invited to come up higher. All of them are, of course, able men, men of reputation and character; and, as their Great Leader, Mr. Bryan, makes politics a profession, there is no reason why they his followers should not be politicians, if hey want to be; but rf is always well to be wisely cautious in giving full' credence to interested judges or advocates, or witnesses or politicians. Governor Jarvis is a man of much more tha" ordinary ability as a man and political manager, -"-ll balanced and generally wise, and he is withal kind and benevolent. I think there is no hypocrisy in hi make-up, except when he is soft-sawdering a sovereign, and of this art he Is past grand master. But to save my life, when reading Ms article. I coufld not prevent the mem ory of an illustration in Dickens' "Marts- Chuzziewit" from haunting me. It represents Mr. Pecksniff strolling along a pathway in a wood, the hare boughs of whose trees made an archway over his head and a vista of light beyond. His hands, with palms together, were on 'his breast, and his eyes were turned heavenward, and there was about him Un inflpscrihable atmosphere of benev- olence, of goodness and of wisdom. Underneath was this legend: "Rustling among the last year's leaves the placid Pecksniff strolled." Judge Conner, too, has an enviable reputation in the state, as a lawyer, as a judge and as a man. But compare his Bar association address with his article on Section 5, published aboulti the same time. In the former he is dear, able, dignified and self-confident; in the latter his argument, if argument it may be called, is enveloped in a haze of words. He lays down principles that are not sustained by either the history of oui country or the decided cases. He seems to join in the hue and cry of his smaller colleagues against those who dare to differ with them as to the constitutionality of Section 5. They, to them, are either interested politicians ("wretches concentered all in self") or vanorine: fools. So his dignity therein appears a strut and his self-conflidence mere pretence. Having given these general lmpres sfions, I proceed now to examine more minutely some of the positions taken by these gentlemen. Judge Conner (Continued on third page.)
