ZOLA TO MME. DREYEUS.
Fight to Rehabilitate Her Husband
to Be Continued.
Paris, Sept. 22 The Auroie publishes
a letter written by Hmile Zola to Mme.
Drevfus, in which the writer rejoices
at the former captain's pardon, but says
that It doubtless comes late
"It is revolting," he adds, "to obtain
pity when one asks for Justicp, and all
seems to have been pieconcerted in
order to bring about this last Iniquity.
The Judges, wishing to strike the Inno
cent in order to save the guilty, seek
refuge In an act of hoiiible hypociisy
which they call mercy "
M. Zola expresses tegiet that thp
government trembled before the ano
gance of a fac Hon and asserts
"To think of tiylng to appease the
people by means of Iniquity Is the
helcjht of voluntary blindness The onlv
way to have saved France's honor In
the eyes of the world would have been
to submit the case to the, com t of cas
sation; but our degradation Is such
that we are reduced to congratulating
the government for having shown Itself
merciful. Rehabilitation, which ought
to have been, for the glorv of the
count iv, done immediately, your hus
band may await with upheld head. We
are going to continue the struggle. We
.lie going to light for Justice tomorrow
as vigorously as vesteidav What we
want is the lehabilitation of an inno
