Election day, Nov. 7.
In his speech opening the Nebraska
campaign, Colonel Uryan charged Unit
lie was denied by tlio administration
a chance to acquire military glory.
Inasmuch ns he had never had a
minute's military experience) prior to
the outbreaking of the Spanish-American
war and was, therefore, In nowise
lltted for an Important command, the
attempt of Colonel llrynn to work the
sympathy dodge on his war record will
hardly sufllco. We had too many po
litical war appointments ns It was.
Dreyfus Pardoned.
fr VIE DISPATCHES from Paris
D announcing the pardon of
M Dreyfus do not make alto
gether olear just what ar
inngeinent has been effected between
the ministry nnd the prisoner's family
looking to the futuie; but It Is leason-iiblp-
to assume that one of tho condi
tions of the pardon Is the postponement
to a more nusplclous season of aggres
sive attempts to secure a complete
legal rehabilitation. We asumc that
the right of appeal which Dreyfus Is
said to have waived Is to the military
court of review, a tilbunal as little
likely to render Justice ns was the court
martini nt Rennes. If this bo so,
there icniains open to him at any sub
sequent time the right to petition to
the minister of Justice for u revision of
judgment, which. If accompanied by
new evidence of importance, would
eventually carry the whole case once
more before the court of cassation.
Let us suppose some time to have
elapsed, during which the civil power
In France shall have entrenched Itself
more firmly and pieparations been
made to enforce discipline In the army,
popular excitement having largely sub
sided in the meantime and the public
mind of the Flench people having been
prepared Judiciously foi a re-opening
of this unfortunate controversy. Then
let us Imagine Maltre Demange, as
tho senior counsel for Dieyfus, appear
ing before the minister of justice with,
let us say. documents from the German
government eonselushely demonstrat
ing Dieyfus' innocent e. To stretch
the fancy this far is to make possible
the belief that a revision under such
circumstances would be expedited by
the civil ruleis of Franco all the more
quickly and gladly because they would
not then have cause to diead icvolu
tlonary political consequences.
Some such understanding undoubt
edly exists between the Dreyfus fam
ily and the Loubet administration.
For the sake of France the victim of
the army conspiracy consents to ac
cept justice on the instalment plan.
Germany's last disclaimer in ega.M

An Irrepressible Conflict.
XIIE "irreducible minimum" of
England's demand upon the
Uoeis, as piesented by the
English commissioner at the
Bloemfontoin conference, v. us that lcsl
dents of live years standing should be
eligible for citizenship, and that even
they should be' men who intended to
f-ojourn permanently in the Trans
vaal, who are ready to take their
share in the military service of the
state and who bear good diameters
t nd possess a certain amount of prop
erty. This granted without equivoca
tion by the Uoors, together wi:h recog
nition of British suzerainty, t was pro
posed to submit the other grievances of
tho Outlanders to Investigation 'jy a
Joint commission.
The sticking point, so far as the
Uoers aio concerned, seems to be, first
of all, tho British claim of suzerainty.
In tho Transvaal lepubllc's last com
munication to Gient Britain appeals
this pointed paragraph: "It trusts that
It will clearly appear from the fore
going that her majesty's government
is under a misunderstanding if It sup
poses thnt tho republic would
suffer any violations of its independ
ence." All of England's attempts to
exercise supervisory powers over
Transvaal legislation are repudiated In
this sentence, which Is tantamount to
nn out and out rejection of the English
claim that tho treaties of 18$1 and 1SS4
give to her majesty's government pa
ternal nuthoilty over tho Boers.
Why docs England Insist so strongly
on this claim? England's enemies say
at once that It Is because England
wants gradually to acquire control of
the Transvaal and seize its mineral
riches. But there is another reason,
more creditable to England's, honor.
Throughout South Africa there nio
many Dutch settlers, living under tho
British Hag but stirred by tho Boers
Into viewing it with suspicion nnd con
tempt. According to Sir Alfred Mllner,
"tho doctrine of a Dutch republic em
bracing nil South Africa" is openly
preached, and Is producing a great ef
fect In the Cape Colony; und "language
Is frequently used which seems to
Imply that tho Dutch hnvo soma
superior light even In this colony to
their fellovv-citlzans of British origin.
Thousands of men peaceably disposed,
and, If let alone, perfectly satisfied with
their position as British subjects, nro
being drawn Into dlsaffecton."
The problom vvhlQli England has to
solve Is not only how to protect tho
rlcbt of "nariishmen In the Transvaal
but nlso how to ellmlnnte menaces to
tho orderly development of English sov
ereignty In those parts of Africa where
English sovereignty is technically be
yond question. If tho antique spirit of
tho Boers Is to bo fed by English vacil
lation, Brltnln'B whole Afilcnn enko
may become dough. Considered In this
light, England, no lss than tho Trans
vaal, Is lighting for Its political ex
istence In South Africa.

What He niRht Have Said.
WHAT the president said In
reply to the delegation of
politicians from Muiy
land who waited upon
him to protest against the assignment
of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley to the
commnnd of the South Atlantic squad
ron, In response to his request for sea
service, has not been made public,
but what he might have said is indi
cated below:
"As commander-in-chief of the nrmy
nnd naval forces of the United States
It is my duty to exercise in tho choice
of men for military or naval com
mands, the best Judgment possible,
basing It solely upon tho Information
available as to their fitness for the
work to be done. The man who tries
to influence mo by political pressure In
favor of some favorite wants mo to
run the ilsk of doing a wrong to those
olllcers In the service who lack the
Intercession of friends at court. I re
spectfully decline to be put In this un
just iicsltlnn.
"Since you have brought up the case
of Admiral Schley, I deem It opiKir
tune to remind you that no true f lien J
of that ofllcer can desire to put him
In the unprofessional light of seeking
to evade or question the orders of his
superiors. The United States navy
Is larger than nny Individual In It atii
when nny gentleman on Its pay roll
tlnds the conditions of service in that
navy (insulted to his liking, It Is not
for the president of the United States
to make an exception in his favor, but
for that particular ofllcer to consider
whether the situation calls for his re
signation. "1 have no wish to do Inlustlce to
any officer In our gallant navy, but
nn Injustice would bo done to every
conscientious wearer of the American
naval uniform If :ih a result of public
clamor undeserved attentions should
be paid by the commander-ln-ehlcf to
an olllcer who stands chaiged on the
records with disobedience of orders
nnd reprehensible conduct, and whose
efforts to explain these charges havo
been characterized by conduct, as in
the case of Lieutenant Hodgson, un
becoming to a man of sensitive honor.
For what he did In the sea fight at
Santiago I nominated Commodore
Schley for promotion, exercising a gen
erous chailty for faults which other
wise would have Induced sharp le
buke: I am aware of no discrimina
tion ngalnst this olllcer beyond that
which his own conduct and record nec
essitated in the Interest of the service;
and with this frank statement of the
case I have the honor to bid you good
dav."
A speech like that would have to
reived the approval of every fair
minded man acquainted with the facts.
Like the conference nt the IJasue.
the affair nt Chicago created more
excitement before than after.
Legalizing Fraud.
IX SUPPORT of his contention
before the Chicago tiust con
ference that the people of one
state could not afford to rely
upon another state for regulation of
corporations fiolng nn inter-state busi
ness, Mr. Bryan read a remarkable
letter from a trust company In Dela
ware outlining a condition of uffalrs
In thatstnto which is certainly extra
ordinary. Tho document is truly Im
portant as an Illustration of premedi
tated carelessness In legislation.
Delaware tome time ngo decided to
compete 'with New Jersey for the fees
of men wishing to organize corpora
tions. To this end a commission wns
appointed to ituily the New Jersey act
relating to incorporation and in fram
ing the act intended to embody the
fruits of this study the commission evl
dtntly tried vety earnestly to sur
pass tho famous Jersey measure,
wherever possible, in leniency to
the Incorporators. The letter read
by Mr. Bryan compares tho Delaware
with tho New Jersey act and solicits
business In behalf of tho former. In
the following salient provisions th'
Delaware and New Jersey' laws aro
substantially Identical: 1 Anv thiee
persons may organize a corporation,
2. It may engage In any lawful busi
ness excepting banking. 3. It may
purchase and deal in real or personal
property wherever situated, and to nny
dcRlred amount. 5. It may be a mort
gngee or a moitgagor. C. It may con
duct business anywhere In tho woihl.
7. Stock may be issued for property
purchased, and In Delawiue for ser
vices rendered, and In tho absence of
fraud the Judgment of the directors
as to tho value of such property or
services Is conclusive. 8. It may rahlly
wind up its nrrnirs and dissolve Itself,
a. Its authorized capital stock nutU not
bo subscribed for. 10. The amount of
cupltnl stock which It may issue Is
unlimited. It. It may fllo Its certificate
of Incorporation and even begin busi
ness before any sum whatever Is paid
in. 12. It may have different cinssei
of stocks, with different privileges or
restrictions. 1?. Tho, chatter may he
easily amended. 14. Only ono director
need be n resident of Delawnre. 15.
Cnpltal etock may be easily diminish
ed or Incieas-'ed. K. Tho corporation
may bo icadily merged or consolidated
Into other corporatlopH. 17. The in
corporators may or mny not limit tho
authority of the directors as to the
nubilities.
The Delaware law.accordlng to tho let
ter, possesses tho following advantages:
1. Tho original foe for Incotporatlon
Is small about three-quarters of that
in New Jersey. 2. The annual tax Is
small one-half of that In New Jersey.
3. Stockholders and directors may hold
tliolr meetings wherever they please
nnd need never meet In tho state of
Uelnwnre. Now Jersey stockholders
must meet In that state. 4. The otlgl
nal stock and transfer hooks, which
In a New Jersey corporation may bo
kept In tho state, may he kept In or
out of Delaware, In the discretion of
tho company. G. Tho examination of
the books by Intormcddlers Is much
more dlfllcult under the Delaware law
than under the laws of nny other state.
C. The liability of the stockholders Is
absolutely limited when tho stock linq
once been Issued for cash, property or
rcrvlces. 7. Stock may bo Iwued In
compensation for rervlcves rendered,
nnd In the nbsenee of fraud In the
transaction the Judgment of the direc
tors as to the value of such services
13 conclusive. 8. The annual report of
a Delawnre corporation 18 required to
give no secret or confidential Informa
tion. !). The certlllcate need not show
nor need public record be In any way
made of the amount of stock sub
scribed by nny incoiporntor.
Regulation like this Is certainly not
FUillclcnt for the public protection and
the state which makes a specialty of
legalizing fraud should be held" In gen
eral contempt.
Although It mny not be gonerilly

According to official treasury figures
the gold In circulation In the United
Stntes on Sept. 1 was $672,!)91.1!i2,
against 1G3,995,C30 ut the date of Mr.
Bryan's nomination In lSOfl. Here is
nn Increase of nearly 50 per cent, while
the Increase In population has not been
3 per cent. an elfectual nnswer to the
fear that there Isn't enough gold.
m
August exports wore $101,C4!,43
against S4,."05,Sfil in August, a year
ago; $S0,S15,0.10 in August, lOT and an
average of only about $60,000,000 for
the Augusts of 1S04. 1S93 nnd 1SSG. The
trade figures certainly are not running
Mr. Bryan's way.
In round numbers a quarter of a mil
lion Immigrants passed through Ellis

foot ball rules this year. Enthusiasts,
however, will note with pleasure that
it is not of a nature to ellmlnlnate any

A hard-working, Industrious woman, active, and to all outward appearances healthy,
a woman used to doinj; all the work about her home and sometimes oing out to service,
relates tliat when she lived at Oyster Hay, Long Island, and especially on ironing day
when confined to a hot laundry, she would often become faint, a condition usually pre
ceded by a shortness of breath. At times Mie could hardy keen up to come out into
the fresh air to refresh herself. After she movid to New York, the shortness of breath
affected her when wot king inr.close room or after climbing stairs. At one time, while
so suflerinn, she was recommended to try some Ripans Tabules. The improvement
in her breathing was such that she felt greatly relieved and she now keeps the Tabules
always at hand, and since she has done this she says that the faintnoss has not been
noticed and she can now readily climb stairs or work In a close room without any of
the symptoms of distress which formerly oppressed her. When this experience was
related to a physician who is familiar with Ripans Tabules, he said : " The Tabules
are not advertised to cure faintness or shortness of breath, and my impression is that
the symptoms referred to were caused by the stomach being distended with gas, as is
sometimes to be noted with persons who use vegetable food mainly, l'otatoes or cab
bage," he said, "were quite likely to produce such a condition."
