brighter hopes for dreyfus.
At the Dreyfus trial Monday
one Charaway, an expert, who
had given it as his opinion in
1894, that Dreyfus had written
the bordereau (which is the mem
orandunf of valuable French se
crets sold to other governments)
testified that he is now convinced
of his error and that a closer
scrutiny convinces him that it
was Esterhazy's work. He
seemed glad to have the chance
to correct his error .made against
a man he now believes to be in
nocent. .
The conviction grows steadily
that the accused is innocent, and
the current in his favor will be
hard to stem.
The meanest thing of the court
b in not requiring Col. Du Paty
de Clam to come into court. He
will be waited on in his room and
his testimony '"will not be sub
jected to cross-examination, and

should be.
- It is quite apparent that in 'this
whole . affair there has been
forgery, pergury, attempt at as
sassination, frivolous testimony
and a lack of the essetial princi
ples of a fair and impartial trial,
and yet the gauze is so thin that
justice will probably triumpn far
enough to save the victim from
a return to Devil's Island.

. As heralded a week ago, the
following sublime poem, appears
in the September number of Mc
Clure's Magazine, by Edwin
Markham, the auther of "The

its merits may be overlooked but
the sublime beauty of thought
and implicit faith in the Divine
as well as the charm of its rhythm
appear the stronger as it is read
and pondered: v

Pressing upon him with the

There was no voice f or him not:

no sound
But of a sword flung broken to
the ground.
Hell laughed its little hour; and
then behold,
How one by one the guarded gates
unfold !
Swiftly a sword of Unseen Forces
hurled .
And now a man rising against
the world!
