An lnterestliiK report, originating in Paris Favs thnt tho Italian and Ger man RovcrnmentB hao been consult Ins on the question of whether they will send to Finnce all tho documents they Do'we'w bearing on the Dreyfus trial and thus make clear and Indis putable the Identitv of tho French tialtois. The story Kots that Italy favors such a course, hut Emperor William takes the ground that Ger many, ha lug definitely nnnounced that eho neer had any dealings with Drey fus, does not feel called upon further to Intel fere In a puiely Fiench matter, IIoweer the facts may be as to this, the testimony on Saturday certainly gives to the Italian government an ex cellent opportunity to mako public what It knows touching Dreyfus. Here we had positive testimony from n repu table source that the Italian military attache wired after Dreyfus' airest that the French spy under that gov ernment's pay had been warned. The Inference fiom hueh a message is thnt Dieyfus had no guilty relations with Italy. Acquitted In that quaiter and detlaied by Get many to be innocent so far as machinations with Germany aie concerned, theie remains to be shown a reasonable suspicion of his guilt In any direction Such n suspicion has jet not been Justified by the pioduc tlon of evidence In open court and con sequently the occasion Is opportune for some European power like Germany or Italy to overturn the whole rotten con spiracy bv exposing the real traitors In the general Intel est of humanity and Justice. A cleaning up of the Dreyfus affair, with a lifting of the lid off the fer menting mass of continental Intrigue, would be for the best Intel ests of nil Euiope. Civilization would be the gainer by It and It would contribute to peace and piogiess. A cancer In one li.u t of Europe Is n. menace to all paits and self-interest, theiefore, as well as Justice, should piedlspose both Gei many and Italy to withhold nothing In the Intel est of tiuth. The Cologne Gazette advl-es Gor-man-Amoi leans to oppose the McKln ley policy of nppior?lon and greed by supporting Tom P.eed for pteM dnt. The Cologne Gn7tte will need a microscope to dlscovei the eftects of Its impudence General Butler on the Race Problem, Ex-enator and foimcr Major Gen eial M. ('. P.utler, who commanded for a time nt Camp Alger, has dellv eied an opinion upon the ince pioblem which Is of interest piopoitlonal to his conceded ability as a statesman and --tudeiH. General Eutler condemns lawlessness niul violence unsparingly but adds: "The poor white men who have to earn their bie.id bv the sweat of their faces, cinnot compete with cheap negro la boi. To attempt to do si, implies their dogiadatlon and ultimate de struction or expatilatlon Ore race must go to the wall, and with the kindest fellngs of good will toward the negro, I must side with my own laee. Two iaes cannot live together In pent e, on terms of equal, civil and political lights, and the sooner we iialbe that, the bettci for both lace.s The tcpaiatlon of the nicest is the only solution of the tenlble problem. Tho government of the I'nlted Plates ought to appropriate 'JlOO.flOO.OOO and dupli cate It as often ne neccjsarj to assist the negroes In settling a colony to tbemcelve. This was done for the Indians when they ct.uld not live nt petco with Whites. A temporary in convenience by tho negto leaving the country might result, but the whites would meet the emergency. The meth ods of the negro do not Justify an at tempt to lift hi in up by Incieased wage.". So long as the Kites are In Im mediate contact on piegent terms lMichlngs, whltecapplngs, mob law. every form of lawlessness, will con stuntly menace society, obstruct pro gress and keep up a state of anxiety." Geneiat Rutler Is not alone In this opinion. It Is shored by some of the most Intelligent negroes and there seems to be n marked drift of careful opinion toward acceptance of this remedy. The expatriation of the ne. gro would bo n, gigantic undertaking well calculated to challenge the Ingen uity and material resources of oui government, but that In time It night bo accomplished with small suffering and ultlmato ndvnntngo to those chlef ly'conccrned Is not Incredible All vvoYil.l depend upon the spirit In which th ;xjieiment should be undeilhken anfl Irj tl(U enro exercised to provide, tv suftnbli '(testlnatlon fitted physically and InvZjiipctilturittlert for the negro's future occupation, ttut In any event this la a remote collhgrncy. Moro Immediate nnd tangible") the prbl-'-m of securing to the negro vhere r v ni he Is the rights end opportune rt juaranteoa to him In tho law nnd In the conscience of our government. It Is not enough to say that the negro Is underpaid, that ho Is Indigent, that lawlessness Is hound to mnrk him for Its victim. Thes- truths are well understood. Hack of them lies u duty which. If feailess ly performed, would modify for the bet ter, If not entirely eliminate, tho serl outness of tho outlook. The negro can be tnught. Ho can ! elovnted. He can be qualified for higher wages and trained to live decently and In order. Proof of this exists In almost every American community, In the per sons of negroes who hnve been tnught and elevated, who nio earning good wages faltly on their merits nnd who live decently uml In order. If General Butler wants to Improve upon existing conditions In tho south why not get to work at the problem In Its Immedi ate aspects nnd tuin the hose on the Ignorant and criminal white trash picludlco which Is trvlng Its level best to keep the negro down? A fnimeis' trust, talked of in Kan sas, Is of course Impossible. The farming Industry Is too widespread to be cornered. The project of uniting In n monpter combination the grain glow eis of tho Mississippi valley, for the purpose of controlling the supply of ceieal food and making prices to order. Is feasible on paper only. Hut that such a scheme should be seriously consldeied shows how far tho trust bacillus hns worked its-elf Into tho body politic. An Inspector Vlio Inspects. The lcport of Lieutenant Colonel Philip Hende, who recently went to Havana for tho War department to in spect the Second artillery, Is a good specimen of what a military Inspector's leport ought to be. Colonel Hondo trav eled with his eyes open, told fearlessly what ho saw nnd made his observa tions the basis of many practical and timely suggestions. The Sei ond artil lery has been In Havana since last January yet, says the Inspector, prob ably 1,000 of the 1.393 enlisted men In It have never fired a ball caitrldge from the weapon furnished them by the United States for offensive purposes, in spite of the fact thnt the regiment is armed and equipped as Infantry. There may have been excuse for this while the regiment wns actively engaged in police and patrol work, but Colonel Heade points out that on February 2S last the l colonization of the city and nirnl police force of Havana largely relieved the regiment from these oner ous duties, and ho pungently adds- "It is claimed that there has been no range, or time or oppoitunity for in stitution In oi piosecutlon of small arms firing, or am other class of firing, by even the reciults of this legiment. Fuither. That It Is not the fault of any officer or man that thiec-fourlhs of the I'nlted States soldiers are so woefully unacquainted with the high est use of their lilies, viz, to shoot, hitting, with measurable accuracy, what they are told to shoot at This featuie of a soldier's education Is too Important to be longer neglected. A soldier Is nrmed so that In battle ho can hurt somebody What a tool Is to a vvoiknmn, a rifle should be to a sol iller. The elements of small arms can be acqulied Indoors. The preset ibed course of Instruction Indicates the pie llminary drills and exercises for tho In struction of the Individual soldier. It should be made p.nt of the duties of company, tioop or battery olllceis to see that sighting dillls, position and aiming drills, nnd gnllerj practice with reduced Cartridges be had by every un lnlructed man, coupled with measur ing nnd estimating distances Actual innge ptactlce should follow. Itepoits should be made monthly by eveiy com pany, tioop or foot battery commander as to the natuie and extent of instruc tion given in small aims practice. A suitable small aims range, wheie short lange, mid-range nnd skirmish firing can be had, Is a necessity second to no other class of a soldiers duty An officer should be detailed to take charge of small ai ms practice. A tango officer should be appointed and tequlred to make timely estimates for the mnteilal and labor iequlred to place the lange In condition for the taiget season, as well as the selection of the innge loca tion of the dlffeient firing points. It is a cilme to send men into action who are unntquainted with the capacities of their weapons Tho ability to shoot well Is the ultlmnte of a soldier's duty. On tho battle field of the futuio the soldier who has not received tho marksman's training will be as useless as a woman. A soldier sallying forth to war aimed to the teeth with a tooth pick, or an Inflated bladder, could not be more useless, Good rlflo shots aie not hoin smh, they are made such by tialnlng and Intelligent practice. It Is an obligation of the government to give to Its iegul.li- soldiers the best and latest model of tliearms of piotectlon." The lepoit of Colonel Iteade touches with equal fiankness upon other phases of the soldier's life. He points to de fects in the in my ration nnd, not only that, he lecommends specific lemedy. For the Cuban climate ho would dis continue the oidlnary beef issue and substitute fish and diled fruit com ponents. He complains thnt medical otllceis do not Instruct the line officers and men as they should In flist aid to tho Injured, camp sanitation, military hygiene, etc., and he would make In struction In these matters compulsory on the part of both officers and men. Ho would tuin camps of rendezvous Into centers of education In all the components of successful soldiering and especially would ho emphasize the sol dier's duty to know how to shoot. From this brief synopsis wo seo that Intelligent army inspection Is posnlble and useful and fiom It we learn where the army cun be strengthened with benefit to Itself and to the country. An Austilan paper notes a glowing desire on the part of Europeans to see the Philippines exchanged for West Indlnn Islands. There is nothing for such a desire to do hut to keep on growing. The report from Havana that Cuban sentiment for annexation Is growlmj rapidly Is probably untrue. It has al ways existed nmonfr tho moro Intelli gent and substantial properti'-ovVhlnc class, but there la no reason to be Hove that tho imagination of tho masses hns ceased to dream of an In dependent republic. This Is an ldcnt Inextricably Ingrained In tho Cuban soul a poslon like to thnt which ac tuated the enrly crufcadors. The de mand for nnnexntlon will come nftcr Independent republicanism hoi ben subjected to a disillusionizing trial.

The nature of tho treaty entered In to bv our government with the sultnn of Sulu disposes of the absurd claim that our war In the Philippines Is a war of conquest. The Sulu nrchlpelago, lying toward the southern limits of tho Philippine group, Is n series of Islands Inhabitatcd by Mohammedan tribes, some partly but the majority wholly uncivilized. It wns nominally under the sovereignty of Spain but no Span latd had done more than casually visit Its chief ports and the interior of the Islands was and Is virtually an un known land. The archipelago Is mlcd actually by a sultan, who may bo likened to nn Indian chief In absolute command over warlike serfs, and It became nccessaiy to pacify him In or der to leave tho American authorities free to concentiate energies upon the problem of Luzon. To this end a trea ty was drawn and after six week's of negotiations on tho part of General Hates it was accepted by the Sulu potentate, signed, sealed and delivered. It establishes American sovereignty nnd the American llag over tho Sulu group, authoilzes American occupa tion nnd control of such points as may be demanded by the public Interest; provides that any person by obtaining the sultan's consent may purchase land for due compensation; guaran tees the rights of the sultan nnd na tive chiefs; establishes non-interference with religious customs and be liefs together with non-persecution on nccount of religion; ordains free trade in domestic products when conducted by natives under the American flag; gives to the sultan privilege of com munication of grievances direct to tho governor genernl at Manila, forbids the Introduction of firearms save on the governor general's consent; pledges the sultan to suppress piracy, gives to the nnllve government right to try nil natives for crimes, punishment to be administered by the Amet leans; enables slaves to purchase their free dom; pledges the Ameilcan authori ties to make faithful investigation of complaints before resorting to harsh mensuics. commits the sultan to offer native escorts to Amei leans wishing to Investigate the Interior; binds the I'nlted States to piotect the sultan In the event of anv foreign nation at tempting any imposition on him; stip ulates that the I'nlted States will not sell the archipelago without the sul tan's consent, and arranges a scale of subsidies for the sultan and his chiefs to take the place of tho money paid to them by Spain. The sultnn Is to get ?2."0 a month In Mexican money, his three chief subotdlnates $" each, three others $60 each, one other $40 and one $lr) a month a total cost. In our money, of about JH.'O a month for the keeping of peace In a scattered nrea containing some of the most trouble some specimens of barbailan human ity on the records of the ince. It will be perceived that this treaty contnlns not a line of conquest. It leaves native customs and native rights undisturbed but intelligently provides for the rlshts of civilization as these shall from time to time nrlse. We want nothing f i oin the sultan but good or der and fair play nnd we are willing to give him In exchnnge for these a cash Income and the advantages of our protectorate. I'nllke some of our treaties with the Indians In yeais gone by this tieaty will be kept, because theie is no surrounding circle of un set upulous whites coveteous of the Moro possessions and anxious to man ufactuie pretexts for attack, spolia tion and theft. The nrrangement may seem strange because our people have not been necustomed to such compacts but judged In the light of ex pediency, duty and necessity It offers a hopeful pi oof of Ameilcan capacity to meet unexpected emergencies fatily and well. Tho sad case of shooting at Franklin the other morning when a oung girl who attempted to gair entrance to a neighbors house was shot for a bur glvr, offeis a warning to young peo ple who keep late houis. The vic tim of the shooting, a girl of 17, had been ot't to a church social and un able to aiouse her own family upon her icturn at 2 o'clock In tho morn ing, knocked at the door nt a neigh bor across tho street nnd received a bullet which caused her death, chinch socials that are not dismissed until 2 o'clock In the morning are no place for 17-yent-old glils. In commenting upon the disparity of divorce 1. glslatlon among the vari ous -itates Judge Hrewsterof Connec ticut says- "A man ought to bo able to know whether he Is married or not In this country."
