A Foregone Conclusion. The conviction of Mr. Zola has been from the first n foregone conclusion. The elrcumMtances of his trial left to the. government of Prance practically no alternative. He had deliberately made charges against It which If moved in the ee of the court would have left it utterly disci edited. It is Iiretty thoroughly discredited a.s the tose stands, but it at least is not con demned by one of Its own tribunals. Its condemnation Is In sane public opinion, chiefly outside of France. In Trance public opinion ut the present time does not nppear to be sane. Of tho ultimate effect of Zola's con viction there can be no possible doubt. The time will come when France will do Win honor for his) courageous ns tault on entienched injustice. This lime may bo nearer than most persons suspect It is Inroncelvable that even In France whore passion and prejudice nppear to be now In the ascendant, so manifest nn outrage as tho condemna tion of nn elllch'nt officer on nllcged secret evidence the existence of which lests wholly upon olllclal assertion without proof, can long iecelo popu lar approval. When the Immediate force of the antl-semltlc fur. shall have spent Itself; when the artificial excitement which military Influences have created to' cloak the lottenness of the war denaitment shall have in komo measure abated there will surely bo a re-actlon. Tills would be ceitain 'n the most phlegmatic of countiles; It will be Inevitable in meicuiial France. In this 1 faction lies Fi.ince'H peril. It will l Btiange indeed if it shall not culminate In n 1 evolution. As for M. Zola he will doubtless be pardoned Zola pardoned would lie Zola shorn of half his strength Zola In prison, a now maitr to olllclal ta eallty. would be the lighted fuse lead ing directly to the gunpowder over which the Meline cabinet Is seated Spain will "never, no never" part with Cnb.i; that Is to say, "well, hard ly ever." Take Vour Choice. Pi one. Indeed, nie gieat men to dls agtee. An instance Is noticed In a cei tain quaiter with featuies which de serve some mention The Chlcogo Itecoid is lepresented at Washington by William K. Cuitls, a. gentlemon of large cultuie, wealth and eperlence In public affairs. Mr, Cur tis was secietaiy of the buieau of Latin Ameilcan lepubllcs when James ("J. Ulaine vas Hairlson's secietary of state, and he yet commands exceptional facilities for gathering authentic infor mation concerning administration pol icies. The Chicago Times-IIeiald Is lepresented at the national capital by Walter Wellman, a gentleman of equal prominence among the newspaper fra ternity and one whose reputation for being able to secuie "Inside" news Is equally high. Ab the representative of the paper owned by one of President McKInley's closest friends, Mr. Kohl fcaat, It has been believed by many that Mr. Wellman on occasions wrote by authoiity. On Tuesday moinlng of this week each or these excellent newspapers printed a featured special from Wash ington outlining the piesldent's Cuban policy as lately ilpened by significant events. The gist of the Itecoid article was embodied In these woids: "The. piesldent Is fully aware of the im patience of the people In regaul to the situation In Cuba and the unpopular ity of his conservative policy among certain classes Ho appreciates tho public desire that something shall be done to stop the war and mitigate the condition of tho island, but at present ho aoes not see his way clear to do anything further than continue to tender his good offices to both sides." The icmalnder of the letter is given over to a narration of the difficulties "Which would confront this country if it should attempt to Intervene by force. "In that event," adds Mr. Curtis, "we 'icllqve Spain from tho responsibilities under which she Is now staggering and take them upon ourselves, wo should "have to send an army to Cuba to re store order; wo should have to feed tho "hungry and nurso the sick, preserve the peace, furnish seed and Implements to the planteis and prevent the guerrillas from devastating the Island; and when the insursents found that the author ity had been shifted from Spain to tho United States they would begin to fight us, nnd, in addition to them, In nil prpbablllty we should have to fight the discontented Spaniards also, for they havo been trying to retain tho power .and .the plunder of the Island, while the Insurgents havo been trying to ob tain It. Neither class would be will ing to let it go Into tho hands of a third part.y," Om the other hand tho Times-Herald man says: "President McKlnley Is pre paiirig to move upon Spain. Within sixty days he will present to the Mad rid government a demand that the war In Cuba b stopped. The president will point out to Spain that tho situation In Cuba In Intolerable to the United States; that there aro no slgnB of a settlement' hy Spain alone; that as "matters' hov look the war is likely to go, im.,ndt'llnlttly; that this govern ment has waited patiently for the ex periment of a now administration nnd a new policy In Cuba, but that no good appears to have como from them; that autonomy Is a failure, and that neither from tho civil nor military point of view has aeneint lllanco achieved ft success; that many thousands of peo plo are starving, with no prospect of nn amelioration of their condition. The president will Inform Spain, In re spectful but firm language, that the XJnlted State"! bus discharged all the obligations of a neutral; that this gov ernment has exercised extraordinary patience; that we have suffered loss of commerce, of tho capital of our citi zens, of the peace of mind of our whole community. He will declare that our patlenco Is exhausted, nnd Hint tho , time has come for a solution of tho vexing pioblem, involving the welfare I of two great nations and the very ex- I istence of a million and a half of peo ple. The president will inform Spain that the t'nltcd States Is willing to assist In lestotlng peace to the un happy Island; that this government In sists upon a settlement at once." Evidently this Is a case where one who pays his money is entitled to take his choice. Oencrnl Miles deserves (.real credit for having Induced congress within the past eighteen months to nppiopilato an aggre gate of J2.000.0o0 for seucoast defense. Some of the congressmen cullnt him an alaimlst. Today they prnlce his mllitniy sngacitv nnd patriotic fidelity to duly. Washington Dispatch In (the Philadelphia Times That is the way of the world. Hut It Is high time the American people put men in congress who don't have to wait until taught by bitter experi ence that tho way to keep the peace is to be ready for war. m Why That Delay? Theie appears to be a determined dis position In some quarters to ciltleUe somebody for the tardiness with which competent divers weie conveyed to the scene of the Maine disaster. When we recall that the harbor at Havana has a mud bottom into which tho ruined Mnlne is steadily sinking the Import ance of obviating unnecessaiy delay in the work of examining the shlp'i submerged Interior becomes manifest. This l"vv of the matter Is letlected In the Washington Post, wh'ich says: We do not pretend to nnv Inllmale ac quaintance with the 1 emulations govern ing the every da routine of tho navy, but v.o have studied history to some e ent nnd wo do not hesltntt to tpress the opinion tlvit the commanding ottlecr of the squadron Admlinl Slcmil could have sailed for Havana Tuesday night and 1 cached there bv -tmrle on ed msilny meriting without violating an nt the pinprlctlcs or cc ceding the discre tion pcimltted him under the cliv'iun slnncts He could have laUcn any of the ec-U In tho fleet and cariled with him experienced piaress'lnu-il diveis, of whom theie are ulvvajs a number to bo found at Kej West, and he could have begun at onee and under the most favorable auspices the woik which now, nfter a "if- I lay of live dus has been begun under I conditions ol verj doubtful chutac- tei. Wh did not Admiral Sicnrd steam for Havana the moment he heard the dreadful news about the .Maine, and , vvli did ho not take with him tho most experienced dlvcis to bo found at Key West, with the modern appliances una paraphernalia, and all this before mis chief makers could have found means of tnmpfiing with or tempting them to un holy things? Does any intlonal human btlug believe th.it lie would have been Kindt mned either by his olllclal superiors or l public opinion? Was not such n course, in fact, will within his rights' Our udmlials, commodores, captains, and other olllcers of command rank mo not expected to fall back upon red tupo In moments of emergency Why did Ad miral Sleard ask Washington for Instruc tions In the face of a tragedy, with which it was his duty to deal, piomptly, decis ively upon his own responsibility?

These questions may do the ndmlial an Injustice and it is to lie hoped thut his reasons for his com so were ade quate, but It 1" undeniable that the Post has voiced a feeling which Is largely pievalent among laymen. We have heaul Its questions asked lepeat edly by citizens of Scranton who have discussed th' different aspects of tho Maine blow-up. Perhaps; it is expect ing too much of tlin government to want it to make no mistakes In an emergency of so dramatic and exciting a character: but the feeling noveithe less exists that the naval officer who shows up to the best advantage In con ne tlnn with this affair is not the ad miral at Key West; but rather the cool headed nnd energetic captain at Havana. If promotion went by merit Instend of Captain he would now be Admiral Slgsbee. The pneumatic tube mall system Is beautiful when it work".

A New York Example. Governor Black of New York was nominated In 1890 ns an organi'atlon cardldate, having been ehoen by tho recognized organization loaders at the last moment In order to harmonize conflicting pnity factions. Ho was elected by a handsome maloiltv and after election he stood by those who had stood by him. This set the Mug wumps to howling against him nnd for a year or po he was more or less In dlpgraco with them, but he held his ground. When tho factlonnl fight In Now York city laBt fall threatened the Republi can party In the Hmplie state with dls luptlon and defeat, Governor Illack stood by the tegular party nominee until that gentleman went down nt the poll, but immediately afterward he caused It to be known to tho wnrrlng IcadeiB that ho proposed to bilng about a restoration of harmony If possible nnd No told them very plnlnly that each sido would have to get down from Its high horao and make concessions. Neither group of belligerents relished this advice but inasmuch ns the gov ernor, through his Inlluenio upon Al bany legislation, held tho whip hand, both factions eventually yielded. An honest primary bill has been drafted at tho BOvernoi'H Instance, hns been modified until It suits tho reasonable party kickers as well as the leason able 01 sanitation men, and its Impend ing enactment Into law will onoo more put the party Into trim for united bat tlo against the common foe. This steady and sturdy woik by tho gover nor haa stilled much of tho former Mugwump clamor ngnlnst him, and whllo ho his not swerved a h'alr's breadth from tho Hue of Ms precon ceived duty to gain popularity either among the Mugwumps or among Re publican stalwarts, his clear Judgment nnd linn common sense arc compelling tho respect of both. Pennsylvania should elect next fall a governor like Governor Muck. Tho mantlo of Madame Dlavntsky, which at her death diopped upon the shoulders of W. Q. Judge, has Just been transferred to tho keeping of Mrs. Katharine Tlngley, of New York. Tho transfer was made by ballot nt a re cent meeting of tho theosophlcal so cieties of America, and Mrs. Tlngley L now the supreme ecclesiastical author ity of tho theosophlcal movement in thlrt country. Her power Is unlimited uml anyone who dares to question it will doubtless experlenco a "hot time In the old theosophlcal town." lly the loss of power assupreme head of the followers of tho occult science, Mr. Judge does not lose caste exactly, but he will not be ntlowed to hold any pri vate correspondence with the unseen .Mahnttnan on his own account.

We don't see why the merchant prince shouldn't pay his own freight. He can well afford to. Commander Hulate's announcement that he will nttend no festivities dur ing hie stay In New York harbor, be cause of his grief regarding the Matno disaster, Is somewhat In line with the case of "Biddy Taxtei Who refused tho captain Before ho axed hei.

Dodd, Mead & Co , has been received pait seven of tho l'oljchromo Bible, being the book of Judges, translated by Rev. Dr. G F. Moore, a profissor In Andovcr Theological seminal y. Although num bered as part seven this Is ically tho llrst ono of tho tvvent parts Into which It has been proposed to divide tho Old Testa ment ready for publication. The scope and nim of tho Polychrome Bible deserve n word of explanation. Pel haps wo can not give this better than In the language of the .publishers. In their prospectus they say: "Long jears of prepaiutlon, and col laboration upon a vast scale, have been devoted to this work, which Is perhaps the greatest jet attempted In tho Held of Biblical scholarship. Tho Authorized Ver blon of 1011 was tho work of Knglish scholais. Tho Revised Version was tho joint production of Bngland and America, although many or the readings nnd reti cle lugs prefeued by tho Ameilcan com mittee weto not adopted by the Bngllsh revisers. Tho Polychrome Bible will havo tho unique distinction of representing the united Biblical scholarship of the civilized world In Us band of translators wo find side by side with tho most eminent Bib Ileal scholars of America, such as Pres ident Harper, of Chicago; Drs. Moore, of Andover.

AVellhausen, Kautzsch, Siegfried, Stadc, Budde, Cor nlll, Klttcl, Delltzsch and others, repre senting tho best scholarship of the eoutl in nl. "Tho projiclors of this great enterprise consider that tho Revised Version was an unsatisfactory compromise, which ile Htiojed tho charm of the older transla tion whllo falling to give tho reader tho full results of modern research. In tho piesent work nothing is omitted which can secure this end. The translation Is bised upon a thoroughly levised He brew text, which has been rendered Into modern literary English. Tho text Is nc compnnled by pictorial Illustrations trum Assjrlnn nnd Fgjptlan monuments, pho tographs of Biblical sites, etc., together with explanatory notes and historical and critical Introductions to the several books These comments repiesent the ripest fruits of rcseaieh Though bnsed upon tho combined Biblical scholarship of tho world, this Is not a book for scholars only but for the people heretofore It has been necessary to read the Bible with tho aid of commentaries, glossaries, etc. Tho Polychrome Bible Is translated Into tho languago of today. "Ono of the most striking features of tho work Is Its printing. To give tho real er, In visible form, tho results of modern criticism as to tho different sources from which some of tho Old Testament books havo been mndo up, the text Is printed on variously colored backgrounds exhibiting the compoHlto structure of the books. It thus records tho present general agree ment of tho most competent Biblical scholars. These are oil men who thor oughly believe In the Inspiration of tho Bible, but who feel that tho tlmo hns como to mnko accessible to the general public tho results arrived nt by the most eminent specialists who have devoted tholr llvoa to theso Investigations." A cursory examination of the part now offered Indicates nt least that the Poly chromo Bible will bo a very Interesting publication. Its mechanical get-up leaves nothing to bo desired. Whether there is that large need for Its new-fangled no tions In textual arrangement nnd in frankness of criticism which its pt elect ors evidently fancy they perceive among tho pcoplo remnlns to bo seen, 'i'ho lust Impression mado by It is that It repre sents rather a fantastic fad than a coup d' ctat In Biblical criticism. o Tho Cosmopolitan for March has soveial features worthy of note. In tho opening artUe William E. Curtis presents an In forming article describing government circles In China. A lew pages later V, O. Cruwford reviews the Dreyfus case and explains In detail why ho thinks that Cap tain Dreyfus Is innocent. Following that Hlchnrd llaidlng Davis contributes a powerful little story hinging on the woes and vvrongsof Cuba, and at tho finish Edi tor Walker, sighing InAlexnndrlnn fashion for more worlds to ronquor, declares his purpose to attempt tho construction of a universal language. This, with tho usual filling, makes, wo should say, u generous dime's worth. Ono of the Flist Ameiicnn prospectors to reaeli tho pav dirt of the Klondike was William W. Stanley, of Seattle, an old time argonaut who had been througli tho mill In Cullforna, Colorado and heaven knows where. Ho left Seuttlo March fi, ISSiS got to the gold tlelds in time to ex perlenco an Arctic v Inter, when n tern peraturo of "0 degrees below zero was considered mild and balmy, and returned tho next summer, bilnglng buck ns the result of about three months' actual work at the gold fields dust and nuggets worth 1112 000 and titles to property from which It Is estimated that J13.000.000 will yet be taken. Mr. Stanley has written and Laird & Lee, Chicago, havo published a book, called "A Mllo of Gold, or Strange Ad ventures on tho Yukon," which embodies his experiences In tho frozen North and It is by all odds the most readable Klon dike publication wo have et seen. Its pictures of mining hardships aro not coloied; tho stylo Is simple, tho writer obviously candid and the truthfulness of his narratlvo ev Idcnt. 0 "Tho Story of Dvangellna CNneros" told by herself, with aid from her res cuer, Karl Decker, nnd a bit of rhetor leal condiment served up by tho singularly versatllo pen of Julian Hawthorne, comes to us in pleasing guise from tho Contl n'cntal Publishing cempany, Now York.

The Henderson bill, passed by the hou-t. of representatives. Is not so stringent hi Its provisions for lnvoluntniy bankruptcy as the Torrey measure, which may be sold to bo generally satisfactory to tho business Interests that havo been urging legislation on this subject for so many ears. Tho main characteristic ot the Torrey bill Is that It would permit invol untary proceedings, not only when a debtor should commit on act essentially fraudulent, but also when he should en gage In transactions due wholly to his Inability to meet obligations. The Nelson bill, which pissed the senuto last ear, provides for involuntary bankruptcy In the case of fraudulent ucts. Tills, how ever. Is the extent of Its scope In refei- enee to Involuntary proceedings. TV I Henderson bill may bo described as n i compromise between tho Torrey and Nel I son measures. It softens the severity of the Torrej bill by striking out, as u ground for bankruptcy, the suspension of payment of commercial piper for thirty days and In other cases of mere inability to pay by throwing on tho petitioning creditors the burden of proving that tho debtor is actually Insolvent. o Some of the other provisions of this measure may bo briefly described. It seeks to obviate the two cardinal defects of tho national bankruptcy law of 18T7. which led to the repeal of that law. Ono ot theso defects was tho necessity of se eming united action by one fourth In number and ono third In value ot tho creditors to have a debtor petitioned Into Insolvency, The Henderson bill nllovvs threo or more persons whoso claims amount In tho aggregate to $500 or over, or ono creditor If the number Is less than twelve, to fllo a petition. Tho second de lect of tho old law was that it Involved tedious delays and tho payment of such largo fees that often there wus little left to estates when tho proceedings were over. Under the Henderson bill the com pensation to referees nnd trustees Is re duced to a minimum, and the process Is thereby gieatly facilitated. One of tho piovislons of the bill which is particularly objectionable to somo eastern represen tatives is that w hlch requires that a bond bo clven by tho creditor, when petition ing a debtor Into bankruptcy, for dam ages In case he falls to sustain his con tention, o It can be said for this bill that It Is In the right direction nnd that It may ho us strict n measure as it Is possible to carry through congress.
