Dreyfus and Henry,
"There Is no refuge from confession but
suicide; and suicide is confession."
This sentence from the peroration of.
Daniel Webster’s magnificent speech in the
prosecution of a murderer, fits very closely
the case of Colonel Henry, of the French
army. He confessed the authorship of the
documents on which Captain Dreyfus was
guilty and sentenced to solitary confine
ment on Devil’s Island. Then Colonel
Henry committed suicide.
This unveils a scandal which ds convuls
ing the French nation to a far greater de
gree than the original Dreyfus case. Gen
eral Boisdeffre. chief of staff of the French
army, and his under chief, General Gonse,
have both resigned, and Colonel Paty du
Clam has been arrested for his complicity
in the conspiracy against Dreyfus.
Emile Zola is thus vindicated He
charged, in effect, the very condition which
Colonel Henry’s confession and suicide
proved to be the truth. He was tried and
convicted on the charge of libeling mili
tary officers, and would now be serving
his sentence in prison had he not fled
from the soil of France. The whole affair
reveals a most shameful state of affairs
in the general staff of the French army.
Thesecrets of France's military condition
have been revealed—not to Germany, as
charged against Dreyfus, but to Russia;
and the latter had enough influence when
Major Esterhazy was upon trial to have
him acquitted, although he was afterward
cashiered—proof positive of his guilt.
The Ishmaelite of Sparta eays: "Macon
is going to have a great carnival in Octo

The Daily Paper Habit.
The daily newspaper habit has been ac
quired by many people during the war,
and it will not be easy to break off Large
numbers of farmers and residents of the
country, are taking daliee who will never
be content to go back to the weekly news
paper Events move too rapidly, and the
American farmer is too progressitrf to be
satisfied with any publication less frequent
than a daily issue. The market reports
alone will justify any farmer in the ex
pense of a daily, one day’s quotations per
haps. enabling him to take advantage of
the markets to make enough profit to sub
scribe for half a dozen for tbe year.
The daily paper in the family is an edu
cator It is more and more sought after
by every member able to read. Its perusal
during the recent war has led both parents
and children to hunt up the geographies
and maps and encyclopedias to practical
advantage. It is certain that millions of
people in the United States know a deal
more about the geography of the world
and particularly the West Indies, the
Philippines, the ladrone and Caroline is
lands, Hawaii and Spain and the United
States and many facts relating thereto,
than they did three months ago. And in
cidentally they acquired much other val
uable information from their daily study
of current events.
The daily paper has become an essential
feature of every home. The reading of it

The Birmingham Age-Herald is com
menting upon the unaccountable appear
ance of yellow fever in North Mississippi
utters the following note of warning to the
health authorities of that city:
The eases at Orrwood and Taylor’s sta
tion need close attention in this state and
district. During the next twenty davs no
chances should be taken This citv is again
full of foul smells and foul spots, owing
to the laxity of the sanitary authorities
after the suppression of the McHenry out
break We need, not spasmodic, but con
t.nuous sanitation. We need another gen
eral cleaning up to begin with, and then
a steady, consistent course of sanitation,
covering the entire season and all seasons.
And so muchh tearing up of the streets
and surface should be summarily stopped.
It would not be permitted in any southern
town, and it should not be permitted here
before October.
Without by any means wishing to create
unnecessary alarm here we would also ad
vise our authorities to look to the san
itary conditions of the city

Evidence of Incompetency.
Singularly at variance with the hun
dreds of oom plain ta Chat came from Chick
amauga are the statements made from the
commissary department which have only
recently been published.
These statements go to prove the posi
tion taken by The News some time ago.
that supplies for tbe sick Maoon soldiers
should be sent to the commissary of each
company
A revelation of the general commissary
is that there are all sorts of fruits and del
icacies for the sick, canned vegetables and
everything that is to be found at a big city
grocery. These things tbe officers, (to
whom rations are not issued) buy, and tbe
hospitals get. .Although gome hospital
surgeons say they must depend on the Red
Cruse for de-ltcacies, there are in the com
missary whole car load? of all kinds of del
ecaciee for the hospitals. The hospitals are
given unlimited credit. When a man is
sick the value of his rations is credited to
the hospital where he is being treated.
This money the hospital is supposed to
spend at the commissary for delicacies for
the man. These articles are priced at
their wholesale value.
The records show that none of the hos
pitals used m July or August what they
were entitled to from these saving of ra
tions
The credits are: Leiter, July, >187.18;
August, 1224.44, Headquarters— July, >2.66.
Second Division, First Corps—July, |10.83;
August >478.89. Third Division. First Corps
—July, >229.55; August >485.73. Second
Division. Third Corps—July, 3244 75. Field
Hospital—August >187.41. The figures for
August show that the hospitals show thai
the hospitals might have spent an aver
age of >4OO each more for delicacies.
But that is not all. The commissary says
he is authorized to let them have all they
want, even after the formal credit shall
have been exhausted.
Th<«e facts, taken in connection with
what Dr. Comegys says of the abundance
of medical supplies, make it hard to un
derstand why the hospitals were short of
supplies of all kinds.
The commissary issues to the hospitals
only the choice cuts of beef- never any
thing poorer than hindquarters. Rolls ere
also given the sick when wanted, instead
of bread.
The officer in charge of the commissary
la quoted as saying:
“I cannot account for the lack of sup
plies reported from the hospitals. I have
given at once all that have ueen applied
for. This department does not carry per
ishable stuffs, such as ice and sweet rnilk.
but here are empty bottles for dispensing
medicines, bandages and linens for the
sick, wash basins and even bathtubs.
Here are tons of lime and all sorts of dis
infectants, canned delicacies, condensed
creams and something like 300 other arti
cles, including all know nessentlal medi
cines for all known army diseases, odors
and ailments.
"Red tape does not tie up these supplies.
They are given freely to volunteers and
regulars alike. I know no distinction.”
In the vast storehouse were carloads of
the very things the surgeons have com
plained of not having, are stacked.
“And they have been here from the very
first day of camp, in practically the same
abundance,” said the officer in charge, Co
megys. “When the supply of an article
would get low I would buy at Chattanoo
ga, so that there was no delay of more
than a day in anything, and, as a doctor,
I can say that these delays should have
caused no suffering.
"But there Is a feature of this business
that should not be overlooked. Hospitals
are furnished a printed list of everything
in this department, with blanks to set
down how much of each ie wanted.
"I have received many of these lists with
not a mark on them—not even a signature.
I had no means of knowing what was
wanted nor who wanted it. Many have
come signed only and I would guess at
what was wanted. Many have ordered
rush supplies and we have piied them up
ready, and after a week put them back, as
nobody came for them.
“Cars loaded with lime have stood on tho
track all summer, hardly touched.
“All of which goes to show the utter
All of which goes to show the utter in
competency of some of the regimental offi
cers. While the war ie over and the vol
unteers are still in the field and such glar
ing neglect should be corrected. Incom
petents and political appointees should be
weeded out and good officers put 1» their
places. The war department and the com
manding officers have ample time and op
portunity now to correct evils that reflect
seriously upon the army and the country.
We should not be at all surprised if be
fore a quarter of a century elapses the cot
ton manufacturing Industry in the South
will be twice as important as that of the
North. And it may turn out that within
that time the United States will manufac
ture nearly all the cotton goods demanded
by the markets of the world.
Million Pensioners.
The annual report of the commissioner
of pensions, which is soon to appear, will
show' a roll of 1,040,356 pensioners, practi
cally all of them having been granted
claims on account of the civil war, which
ended thirty-three years ago. Os these
63,648 were added to the roll during the
year ending June 30, 1898. A good many
pensions lapsed because of the death of
the beneficiaries, but the net increase on
the list is nearly 18,000. This Is a big roll,
and it certainly would cause General Grant
and President Garfield to stare with aston
ishment were they alive today. Twenty
years ago they predicted that from that
date there would be a rapid decrease of
the pension list but it is evident now that
they were mistaken. Instead of decreas
ing the giowth of the list has been steady
and the payments of it exhausts more than
one-third of the entire revenue of the gov
ernment on a peace basis. The war with
Spain, which so far has cost less than one
year’s payment of the pension roll, will
produce another large crop of pensioners
and more money will have to come out of
the pockets of the people.
Queen Wilhelmina is 18. In Uncle Sam's
Republic all girls get to be 18 some day,
but they do not make any fuss about It. By
the grace of chance Wilhelmina is a queen.
That is she was born to believe that she
wae better than anyone else in Holland.
The American girl knows that there if of
ten a very great difference between belief
and fact. Every girl hopes to be some
body's queen. The American girl would
not honor everybody by being his ruler.
Perhaps the difference is that Wilhelmina
is only called queen, while Miss Columbia
is one.
The Savannah News calls attention to
the fact that there has not come into pub
lic notice one solitary kick about the men
of the navy being insufficiently fed or suf
fering and dying from lack of medicines,
surgeons and proper attention. There is
no politics in the navy, and the naval
forces have been commanded by officers
who know what they want, and how to get
It and take care of their men.

of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re
