There could hardly be a more strtk-
ng Illustration of the potency oi ptio-
liclty than the vindication of Captain
Dreyfus. In spite of the prevalent
passion and prejudice which his cun
ning persecutors aroused against him,
the original crime of Ms conviction on
a diabolically false charge could never
have been consummated if hit trial
had been conducted In the full light
of publicity. The elaborate forgeries
on which the conspirators depended
for evidence would have been promptly.
and Ignominously exposed. But the
original trial, if such a cold-blooded
conspiracy to destroy can be called a
trial, was a secret proceeding by a
military triounai constituted by the
conspirators, and neither the accused
nor his attorneys were permitted ' so
much as to see the forged documents
on which the Judges acted. After the
nfamous Judgment was thus procured,
every detail of tne case against tne
victim was sought (o be buried in the
most profound secrecy and In the
keeping of the very men who, high in
power, had contrived the outrage.
Even In this day liberty and life are
not safe in any nation In which pub
licity can be thus suppressed.
The single chance ot saving the vic
tim of this conspicuous outrage rested
n exposure, and that chance nnder the
circumstances was a most, remote one,
for the assumption of guilt was well
nigh universal and interwoven with
the bitterest prejudices fanned by pow
erful hostile Interests. The tremen
dous arraignment In Zola's "I accuse"
letter In the public press, in which he
boldly charged home to the perpetra
tors the main facts of their crime
against Dreyfus, raised an issue in the
conscience and intelligence of France
which had to be tried in the open and
which could not be settled till the
whole truth became known, no matter
how high mob spirit might run for a
time. From that, moment publicity
steadily gained, until every nook and
corner of the elaborate conspiracy was
exposed to public view. In spite of
every effort to keep it dark, and then
public opinion at last asserted itself ir
resistibly for Justice.
It. Is fashionable in some quarters to
sneer at "trial by newspaper," -but In
the light of the history of this memor
able case -the process 'appears well in
comparison with regular authority pro
ceeding In star chamber, and to be In
fact the sole method by which Justice
and truth could be established.
home made armor plate.
The awarding of contracts fflr 8,000
Kpris of armor plate by the navy de
partment for two i new battleships at
the lowest price yet paid by the gov
ernment Vindicates its policy of break
ing down dependence on foreign manu
facturers of warship armor, even
though for a time that policy did In
volve dependence upon . combined
American manufacturers.
. Wh.en .during , the Cleveland admin
istration Secreyiry . Whitney undertook
to build modern battleships he was
confronted by the Tact that there was
In the United States no plant that could
supply tho plates 'necessary ' to arm
them, and was compelled to buy .them
Abroad at a cost of over $500 per ton,
or postpone Indefinitely the construe
tlon of the new navy which was so In
dltpensable a few years later In the
war with Spain. At the same time the
government gave assurances to. home
Fteel manufacturers the effect of which
vas that within a few years two plants
were established at which as good
annoi plates as the foreign-made ones
were secured at first at $480 a ton,
and with these the splendid new navy
lias been armed. But though the price
fell to $400, It wm held there arbi
trarily' by combination ot the two
plants for several years after it should
hitvc been 'reduced and In spite of the
efforts of the government.
But last year a third company, the
Mldvale, entered into-competttion w'th
the Carnegie and Bethlehem concerns,
and now Its bid of $34C has broken
the grip of the combination and fixed
the price which the government "will
pay for arming the battleships Michi
gan and South Carolina. Even at that
price Vhere remains a broad margin
of profit for the manufacturer, and It
is confidently-expected that next year
the price wilt be still lower. and that
under competition It will soon' be re
duced to $300, the 'limit which the
government sought to establish some
years ago. '
The fact .remains,; however, that
even the highest prices that have been
paid to the home armor plants have
been lower than the lowest prices paid
when the government was 'dependent
on the British and German plants.
while we have at the same time the1
manifold Incidental benefits to our
own workmen and producers of ma
terials, with absolute Independence of
foreign supply.

Colonel Bryan 'isv evidently alarmed
by the impression made by the demon
strations of sudden allegiance by such
former democratic opponents as ex
Secretary Vilas of 'Wisconsin, ex-Governor
Francis of Missouri and ex-Con
gresBman Belmont ot New York, the
millionaire backer and manager of
Judge Parker, and by the suggestive
exploitation pf the' Nebraska states
man's alleged "conservatism" as a rea
son why the element they , represent
should no longer Oppose him. At least
Mr. Bryan lu his London prouuncla
mento betrays extreme sensitiveness
on this subject and speaks elaborately
and with studied qualifications on the
text of his Imputed "conservatism
"I am," he says, ' mere radical than I
was in 181 and have nothing to with
draw on economic questions which
have been under discussion," and he
even sticks to it at treat length that
his monetary theories of that vintage
were correct enough, except for certain
subsequent circumstances over which
he had no control. Wbatjs partic
ularly burdening his mind "is clearly
whst his old allies ot 18, namely
the populists, allverttea and socialistic
admirers, will think of the returning
"conservatives," because he takes
pains to reassure them that the "new
friends" are not to have undue Influ
ence over him when he assumes the
responsibilities of power.
it is noteworthy, however, that the
Vilases, the Francises and the Bel
monts utter no protest against these
assurances to "old friends," nor do
the populists and their former allies
show, any sign of particular enthusi
asm. The truth seems to be that the
"new friends" are just as anxious as
Mr. Bryan himself to hold the old
friends for the purposes of the next
election. '
OMAHA'S GREATEST WART.
There never was a time In tha his
tory of Omaha when it made such sub
stantial progress as It has within the
past two years. Within that period It
has erected half a dozen colossal grain
elevators and scores ot great Jobbing
houses and retail stores, besides many
hundreds of handsome residences and
dwellings. Within that period It has
materially enlarged Its trade territory
through the extension of Its railway
facilities and incidentally broken all
records with Its clearing house and
banking exhibits. But there is still
yet much to do for the men of Omaha
if their ambition to pass the 200,000
population landmark Is to be fulfilled
by the time the next census Is taken.
Omaha's greatest want is steady em
ployment at good wages for working
men and working women, and these
can only.be obtained by an enlarge
ment of Its manufacturing facilities.
In other words, Omaha's greatest want
is more mills and factories that will
convert the natural products of this
section of the country Into finished
products. Omaha wants more flour
ing and cereal mills, tanneries and
woolen mills, that will convert the
hides aud pelts of animals slaughtered
in our packing houses into leather and
woolen fabrics. The establishment of
more shoe and leather goods factories
would afford steady employment to a
Small army of skilled mechanics and
wage workers.
The projected Union Pacific car
shops, designed to give employment to1
several hundred mechanics, will
in the very near future demonstrate
whether tramway cars and modern
vehicles of every description cannot
also be fabricated in Omaha in compe
tition with localities east or south of
the Missouri river.
It goes without saying that Omaha
cannot make any great progress as a
n anufacturlng center until cheaper
power and cheaper fuel can be placed
at the disposal of the manufacturers
That problem is up for solution and
shot.' 1 above all things receive serious
ccnHldePption at the hands of the men
actively engaged in the upbuilding of
Omaha. The time is now propitious
The,-demand for cheaper power and
cheaper fuel la imperative and no time
should be lost In devising the ways
and means for supplying Omaha with
cheaper fuel and power.
The plot of ground which has for
years been hallowed as the location of
itinerant circuses thst show In Omaha
Is to be cut up into building lota and
Improved. This is another sign ot the
times. Old residents will remember
the successive locations of circus
grounds, gradually crowded out to
more remote points by the encroach
ment of building improvements. The
ttrae was-when the circuses showed at
Ninth and Farnam and later on Jef
ferson Square, and'stlll later on the
tract at Eighteenth and St. Mary's
avenue, and again at Twenty-fourth
and Farnam, finally to settle at
Twenty-first and Paul, where circuses
have had an abiding place In Omaha
now for many years. Another suita
ble location win doubtless .be found
but It will be a question ot only a few
years before It will have to move
again.
The weed nuisance la an evil which
for the most part grows out of non
resident ownership of city lots. It is
almost' impossible to force a nonrest
dent to keep his property in present
Die condition ana tne resident owner
ot vacant property sees no reason why
he should cut his weeds when his
neighbor's remain uncut. The law
should be fixed so that the city might
have the weeds cut and ' the ' cost
charged up against the property of
nonresidents not oftener than twice
year without first serving any notice
unless by publication.
It looks as if the courts would be
railed upon to straighten out the Nor
folk asylum mixup precipitated by
friction between the asylum- author!
ties and the espousal of different sides
by various state officers constituting
the State board vested with general
supervision. Inasmuch as the leglsla
ture does not meet for nearly six
months, a court order probably offers
the only way to get a reasonably
prompt settlement of the quarrel.
An ordinance is foreshadowed by
which members ot the council will en
deavor to force the Omaha Gas com
pany to remove its generating plant
from the site now occupied to another
that is more satisfactory to the coun
cilman. - If this precedent can be set
and maintained the gas company may
as well prepare to move its plant at
least once every three years when each
new council takes hold.
Another cause for discord has been
Injected into the local democratic
ranks by the- receipt by Mayor Dahl
man ot a latter from Colonel Bryan
beginning "Dear Dnhlmnn. This la
altogether too much for the mayor's
enemies to bear without exhibiting
their resentment.

GUARANTEEING MEAT EXPORTS.
Ilsalfoaaet ef Proaldeat Roosevelt's
Aararaaro to British. Groeera.
Chicago News.
President Roosevelt's reply to an organl
satlon of English grocers, assuring them
that the American government's guaranty
of purity now stands behind American meat
tn-oducta. ausaeata a novel extension of
governmental duties. To thoae who hold
to a atrlct construction of the federal gov
ernment's functlona the Idea that the
United States should lend its name to the
support of the packing buslnesa. virtually
throwing the whole weight of Its prestige
behind private industries, may seem a long
move In the direction of bald paternallam
The president himself has made no par
ticular effort Jo avoid euch an Inference.
"Under the new law." he says, "we can and
will guarantee the fitness in all respects
of tinned meata bearing the government
stamp. If any trouble artsea therewith
protest can at once be made not merely to
the sellers of the aoods. but to the Lnlted
States government itself."
It Is obvious that the guaranty of which
the president speaks .Is not a guaranty In
the eense that It blnda the government to
make good any losses or repair any de
llelenclea resulting from Inadequate math
oris in the preparation and exportation of
meata. The government could not assume
such a function In any event. The newly
enacted law, however, does imply a moral
guaranty on the part of the government
and there la no apparent reaaon why this
fact ahould not be frankly recognised. Vir
tually, the Vnlted States says to the for
eign consumer: "We hsve taken It upon
ouraelvea to provide thorough and adequate
Inspection of meata and meat-producing
methoda. Assuming this office means the
assuming of a responsibility. If we fall
to do our work properly, if we are so neg.
llgent that bad meats can be exported In
spite of the Infection, . call us to account
and we will apply the needed remedies."
The guaranty. In fact, is simply a notice
to the world that' the American meat In
apectlon service will be thorough and ade
quate to Ita end. The nvjrnl support thus
given to an Industry which has suffered
heavily aa a reault of the recent dlacloa
urea will be highly beneficial. Yet, where
la government auDerviaion to end? If
American meata are sold abroad under
government guaranty, why not American
shoes er any other it annfactured produc
which seeks a market on foreign shore
or even In the ehanneli of Interstate com
merce? This queatlon la bound to come up
aooaar or later.
NEBRASKA SENATORIAL CAMTAION

The hand of the political dial In Nebraaka

States senator. The result of the Douglas
county primaries slgnallsea the popularity
of the man among the rank and file of the

la not one of porn leal expediency, or the
payment of any political obligation, but
who, by reason of abllljy, experience and
past training will best represent the In
terests of the people In the senate chamber.

Randolph Republican (rep.).
The overwhelming majorities by which
Edward Rosewater for United States sena.

but one thing that he will be nominated
at -the state convention, August 22. The
Omaha primary eliminated Crounse and
Millard from the situation and Rosewater
and Brown are' alone In the running, with
the former ahead at thla writing. Mr.
Rosewater has had more political enemies
In Omaha than In the atate at large and
thla fact, in conjunction with the solid
Douglss county delegation of 83. means a
victory. There will be ffiT delegstes in the
convention aud it will require 429 to nomi
nate. O'Neill Frontier (rep.).
Objection is raised to the state conven
tion nominating a candidate for United
States aenator on the grounds that a state
convention ia not ao much a representa
tion of the voters at large as is the legis
lature. It Is strenuously urged that while
the members of the legislature are the
representatives of a majority of the people
the state convention la not. If this is true
of United States senator. It Is true also
of all state officers nominated by the con
vention. And if thla thing la to be urged
against state conventions, with clear con
sistency It csn be urged agalnat senatorial
and representative conventions, so that
with equal, force it might be claimed that
our state senators and representatives do
not represent the majority of the voters.
We believe the plan of recommending
United States senators by convention is
a step toward the election of senators by
direct rote and should not be abandoned
until some better plan Is offered.

and come up as smiling and fresh as the
morning or the rose from which he takes
his name, although, wis believe, he never
"takes water." Oh, nol Some other ar

Doaglas Coaatr la Earaeat.
Tork Times (rep.).
Douglas county is obviously In earnest
for Mr. Rosewater. The delegation to tha
atate convention Is taking up the fight In
earnest. They will not consider any other
candidate from that county for any office
and will exert themselves to the utmost to
eecure the nomination of their candidate.
Tet It does not necessarily follow that
Douglaa county will elect democrats to
the legislature If he Is defeated. We do
not believe Mr. Roaewater la unfriendly
either to Brown, Currie or Meiklejohn, and
If either of them should be nominated they
would receive his support. The success of
the party Is of fsr greater Importance than
the personal aspirations of any Individual
The candidatea are all men whem we can

about party defeat In any caae Is out of
order and very poor politics.

A fine appetite Is highly esteemed by
healthy people, especially when means are
abundant to gratify It. But, like many
other good thlnga. It can be pushed be
yond bounds, wher) something has to give.
A New Torker with the melodious name
of Dooner possesses the most -extensive,
varied and tasteful appetite ever observed
In Vlanhattan, Brooklyn or Coney Island.
Constant practice gave It an artlstlo polish,
expanded capacity tor gustatory ecatacy
and Increased demands for toothsome luxu
ries. Dooner gave free reign to his ap
petising Ulents. his purse gave way under
the strain, and the bankruptcy court waa
Invoked to act as financial guardian.
For many years Dooner has been a fa
miliar figure around hotels snd restaurants,
and the tales told ot the meals he nte
sound like a list of supplies tsken on "Big
Tim" Sullivan s annusl chowder. On a
wager with "Jim" Villeplgue, tha Sheeps-
head bay innkeeper, Dooner once con
tracted to rat a quell a day for thirty days.
He did it, and to be liberal he stowed away
half a dosen birds on the final day. He
was a great champagne drinker, and onco
said thSt he, made it a rule to consumo
four quarts a day. On gala occaslona he
has been known to do better in less than
a day.
Dooner once startled the management ot
a Baltimore restaurant by ordering 100 ter
rapins for a party of ten. Padden wae In
the party, snd he declares that Dooner
got awsy with twelve plates, and at bed
time felt faint and had to have something
to eat. There was one meal that the con
tractor tabooed. This was breakfsst, which
in his case consists only of two quarts of
ice cream.
Mr. Dooner's appetite, his chief asset, is
not involved in the proceedings.

The sight of men using American flags
to clean windows and braaa work at
Lane's hotel. Thirty-ninth street and Sixth
avenue, caused a riot that threatened to
Wreck the place. The hotel is owned by
Henry La.ua, who waa away.
WTiat his views on patriotism may be
nobody knew until this afternoon, when
twe men appeared outside the place with
a bundle of American flags. They were
part Of the Fourth of July deflorations.
With the stara and stripes the workmen
began to rub the windows and polish the

bered nearly 800 persons, began to throw
stones at the building. - Windows were
smashed and the two men were being
roughly handled when police reserves ar
rived and restored order.
The men finished the work with other
cloths than the American flag.
