All His Thoughts are Devoted la Clearing Mis Name. Patis Letter, in New York Sun. On the roads in the vicinity of the Geueva, Switzerland, there is often to be seen a quiet, rather studious looking bearded oiao io a white automobi'e, gen erally traveling in a pretty high rate of st, eed. As be passes the wayfarers bow or touch their hats to him; even the peas ants at work in the fields turn and salute him, to all of which greetiugs he responds with a grave and kindly courtesy. In his own country, France, he is the subject of t'ie tfitterest political warefare that has divided that warring nation for a geoe:atkn, the most notable victim of conspiracy and persecution that the last haif of the nineteenth century knewf Al fred Dreyfus, ex captain of artillery in the trench Army, lately ot Devil's .Island, French Guiana. It is now a year and a half since the court-martial at Hermes lecouvicted Drey tus, a process followed almost imme diately by his pardon. For a time thereaf ter he lived in the s uth of France, then removed to the little Swiss villiageof Col ogny, wheie ue lives a life of q net hap piuess with his wife and two children. Occasionally he visits the honse of his father -in-law, Hadamard, in Paris.but as a rule he s ays only a few days at the ime and appears little in public. It was on the occasion of one of these visits that the ony interview with Al. Dreyfus has given since his pard took place. Asked about his health, he said be was better and gaining strength constantly. "It is so good to be home again," he said with a deep brealh. "I have just completed the first serious and contiuued work that I have under taken fciuce my release," he went on. "That is my book, which is just about ap pealing. It is that which now brings me to Paris. "All my 'ambition," he continued, "is sammed up in one phrase: to clear my name of ibe siain thai rets on it. It was 0 this ti at 1 arte my hjok.

Its fre quent perusal will will fortify us against trouble aud leave us calm and serene at least for a time. But 1 don't believe that Dnvid bad as many things to exasperate him as we do. Now here is a Chicago re ligious paper sent to me to disturb my tran quility, it contains a sermon recently de livered b the editor of a lare congregation of bis followers and they said ameu and amen at every malediction that he uttered against ur people. I don't fret myself about what a nor i hern preacher says nor a northern editor writes, but 1 don't like that amen and amen from the saints, and it grieves nie to realize that the more ma lignant au editor is against us the m.iresub- senbers his paper gets. iowthis Chicago editor says in bis sermon: 'If 1 were president when the next lyDctiing takes place in the south 1 would put a cordon around that district and bang a huudred of them and then 1 would shoo! a hundred. Worthy of cannibals are the horrible things carried on in the south. As sure as you live these eight million negroes will one day ourst loose.

Henry Waftersou Gives Good Adviee to Senator SleLauriu. Louisville Courier Joirrrjal. Senator McLanrin hasten accused of many things, chiefly with purporting to break np the Democratic solidarity and to set up a white Republican party in the South. Hesays he meditates nothing ot the kind. But, upon three distinct prop ositions he lays down as good Republican doctrine as General Grosvenor conld lay down himself; he supports the adminis tration policy in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines; he is a Protectionist; and he favors Federal subsidies, including Senator Hanna's recent speech Ship Sub sidy Bill. If all this be not Republican ism it would be difficult to define what Republicanism is and, if entertaining these opinions, Senator McLaurin is not a Republican we fail wholly to see the link, or threal, which binds him to the Derrocrats, or the memory, or traditions or what not, that gives him the right, or reason, still to call himself a Democrat. Expansion, an accomplished fact, is one thing. The methjd of dealing with the expanded territory is quite another thing. Protectionism is no less Republi can when applied to the cotton mills of the Carohnas than when applied to the cotton mills of New England. And Sen ator Ilanna's Ship Subsidj Bill was the merest job to pay off certain Republican campaign debts. For all the cant of the time there still is a radical, organic difference between Democracy and Republicanism. Democ racy would govern the people that come uuder our dominion as -a consequence of the war with Spain on Jeffersoniao, not upon Caesaristic lines. It would levy taxes for the support of the Government exclusively. And it would no m re do natc money to ships than to shops and farms. Republicanism means the reverse of these; and all the way fn m martial law to high, protective tariffs and mam oioth subsidies. Assuiedly, as an alleged Democrat, and eutertainlv as a Senator occupying a seat in tbe Upper House of t.ougre.'S, the representative ot Demo crats, Mr. McLauriu has uo interest in helping Mr. Hauua square bis cash ac count lor the campaigns of 1896 aud 1900, eveu if, ou general principles, he be in favor of taking n.oaey wrung from the people by hard-earued taxes out of the public Tieasuiy and giving it to certain maritime companies as an equivalent for the money they subsci ibed to defeat his owu party, iu this Mr. McLaurin goes too far. He, in a way discredits his commission. He puts a pitchfork in tie haods of his enemy, which th euemy will hardly fail to use. Ye. his Protec tionism and Caesaiisoi are very nearly as Lai. Let lis get away from sectional politics by. all uiiaus. The soouer the better. But let us uot accept corrupt and coirupt ing politics tor enlightened politics. Ivthei way, Nwrth or Souh, the 'Bloody shirt" was a int mis'.etdi. g shibboleth. Under cover of the passions it called into being, the peop.e were robbvd right and left, and hardly leis by rascally Demo crats in'the South than by rascaily Re publicans in the North. It is good to bury this "bloody shirt," and in its place to hoist the fair, free ensign of the Re public, the glorious stars aud stripes that wave for all. But, in doing- so, let us keep our grip upon the money chest. Let us keep ojr eye on the rogues. Let us never lose sight of the good rule that eternal vigileuce" is the price b.ah of liberty aud the pub ic credit, and that Government was instituted to secure not a tariff originated to increase the profits of certain preferred classes, nor taxes imposed to raise funds to be distributed by the poliiiciaus iu payment of campaign obligations, but simply aud solely, and before all else, to secure the greatest good to the greatest number. Air. McLaurin, of South Car .linf, wjuld do well, like Rip Van Winkle, to go home and"chust think aboat dot." Whooping Cough. A woman who has had experienca with this disease, tells how to prevent any dan gerous c insequeuces from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being ouly three months old, and owing to our giy- ing them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy they lost none of their plumpness and came outiu much better health than oth er children whose parents did not use this remedy.

For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves. As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S. has no equal.

C, Tells His First Experience And Commiserates Professor Crook. The statement by Prof. Algie R. Crook, of the Northwestern University, Chicago, that he has never kissed a wo man, his never indulged -in a "swear word, taken a drink or used tobacco has called lorth comments incredulous, sarcastic ard pittyiDg in all parts of the country." rrofessor Urook is only 37 and is said to be quite good looking, and it has been suggested that if his. statement is true be ought to be in a museum. A late dispatch from Chicago represents him as explaining that while he had never kissed a gill he did not mean to say that none of them had ever kissed him. Commenting on Professor Crook's orig inal statement,. Senator Cbauncey M. Depew is quoted as expressing the hope that a missionary movement would be started to rescue the Pr.ifcssor. Pretty missionaries, flirtatious girls with kissable lips, hesays, must save the unfortunate Crook for the sake of the sex. Profes-sor Crook's statement to a class of under graduates at the Northwestern University in Chicago, last week that be had never 'tchewed, smoked, used a profane word drank liquor or hugged or kissed a nirl" has aroused the deepest commiseration of the Senator. "And he says he's 37," said the Sena tor. "Well, it is not too late. Still he can never know the exqusitive ioy, the thrill, the bliss of a boy's first kist! Poor fellow! T have read about Professor Crook with the deepest concern for a misguided fellow-man. He almost brings me back to a doctrine which tor many, many years I have been trying to get away from the CalvinisUc doctrine of total depravi ty. "Just to think that lor 37 years a fellow-being has existed, with heaven all about him on every side, the portals all of en aud inviting, ftud that he has not entered in onct 1 I've either t to be lieve the fellow is not telling ihi truth or, what is worse, g ) back to the total de pravity doctrine. "Why, worlds couldn't buy the tnem ory of my first ki?s, there on the river at feekskill, in the m loulight! I can leel the brush of her curls aeaiust my cheek, feel the thrill of her touch, see her blush and her roguish eyes before uie now. Pity, pity the poor creature who ban never en joyed an experience like that! VV hen 1 was a boy tu my teens 1 was a great car man, and I was often on the Hudson in my boat.

If you haye you ki.ow what it is for a boy to be out atone with his sweetheart in that moonlight. "I remember bow I pulled out into the surety stream, ner miscuievous eyes upon me. A kingon bis throne was nev er happier aud he never haJ halt the right to be. A young fellow with a pret ty sweetheart who likes him just a lit'le bii and loves to be iu the moonlight with his is the most blessed of mankind. " Well, we talked.

It is the touch that does i' the electric thrill. A young fellow could no more help it than he could a storm, and the girl c uldn't either. Why should they? There is the silvety quiet, there is the pretty girl daring bun, there is the young fellow then there s a kiss." The Senator was blushing a rosy red, aud he laughed loud and heartily at the delicious memory. "Don't a-k nie just how it happened. I don't-kno, but I know it did happen, and that is oue of the sweetest memories "of my life. Ah,' what a pretty girl she was, and how ber eyes stirred something in me! "It was the old story of Eve and the apple. It always is. The right sort ot young fellow can't resist the forbidden fruit, and Eve doasn't want him o. "The conditions and the provocation must be right for a kigs. The girl mu--t like the fellow a liitle. It must be mo'-.n light or something like it. It ntver hap -pens in broad open sunlight, never, un less it is at a picnic in tbe woods. I hey get out aloue together, and he telis her she's just the divine crea.urem tbe world and means it every word. His eyes show be means it and his manner show's it. And her dancing, mischievous eyes show that she likes it, whatever she may say. Then there is the touch and the kiss. Rvery fellow can tell you about it .if he will that is, every one besides Crook. Tt is very late for Crook to begin. He can never come the way of bliss that every other man has come, lie cm never enjov the challenge from the roguish eye of youth. Now he must be the aggressor. Still, it is not too late for even a sincer like Crook to repent and reform. "He must be saved. Tbe i;if U must do j it.

In his address to tbe negro students of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, last week, on the occasion of tbe dedication of Doro thy Hall. Rev. D'. E. W. Donald, the suc cessor of Philips Brooks as rector of Trin ity Church, Boston, said: "I shoull like to say how deep is my conyiction that, whether or not tbe place of the negro is here in the ixiutb, where he was born .and where he has the right to live, if two hundred years ol toil can give that right, his place, beyond question, is not in the Far North. Slowly, and against my hopes. I nave reached thkt conyiction , A careful examination of the con tempo rary situation in New England seems to disclose the discreditable fact that while the North welcomes the negro as waiter, janitor, bellboy and laborer, it dees not readily admit him to the ranks 01 stilled mechanics, or make his entrance into even small trades profitable. The Englishman, Irishman, German and Frenchman have supplanted him in the lucrative grades of domestic service. "Possibly he does not care to become a skilled artisan or to till hij own land.

And if, when elucated.he makes his way to competence and s'aud mg more surely in the South than at the North, the cor elusion that he best s'ay in the South is, apparently at least, sound. Moreover, the natural opportunities fir an agricultural life are more numer ous and more promising in the South than pet haps anywhere in tbe United States.
