The Globe saysz-“Half a dozen w tnesses deposed that Bossard had paid them sums of money at election time ranging from $2 to €575. Four of them said that Bossard and a man named Lewis, of London, produced a quantity of money. saying that they had there $20,000 and that there was $30,000 more of government money.” This, coming as it does from the Globe, is an awful state of affairs. to report in the leading Grit organ to expose the rOttenness of the Grit party. To the credit of the better class of Liberals, however. they are riot in sympathy with such corrupt practices, and as far as possible they avoid discussing such a sad condition oi things. The trial of the petition against the election of Mr. Breithaupt for North Waterloo, was opened at Berlin on Tuesday last before Messrs. Justice Osler and JuStice Meredith. The charges investigated were those preferred against Hotel Keeper Bossard, who is alleged to have been an active agent in the bribing of Electors. The leading manipulators, how- ever, determined as they are, to win or die in the attempt, will Stop at nothing. Mr. McPherson, the leading council for the petitioner proposed a scrutiny of the ballots, ciaiming a reduction of 61. Twenty- oue ballots marked for Lackner were counted for Breithaupt in one division, and this. with other irregu- larities and improper counting made a reduction of sixty-one in the majority, reported at the time of the election to be 119. Mr. Ayles- worth, council for the respondent admitted a. reduction of 60. J. Israel Tarte’s paper. La Pattie, apeaking editorially of the Dreyfus verdict backs up the action of the French Military gang, condemns the Associated Press reports as false, and claims that a verdict other “than that which has been giyen could not have been pronounced.” Strange, that the wisdom of La Patric snould be so diametrically opposed IZ‘IIIVI-‘av- vv .. by the leading papers of the civilized world. Out of seven rejected ballots which Mr. McPherson claimed for Lackner, four were allowed, judgment being reserved on the other three. Saddest of all. and throwing into the shade all ether modes of corruption, was the effort to induce a gray headed German laborer to deny having received anything. should he appear at the trial. Evidently the sacrifice of a human soul to some, is nothing in comparison to the winning of an election. ARRISPTBR. NOTARY, CON- VEYAXCER.

Scene 2 was the new trial which has just taken dauc at Rennes, and which has just ended with reyfus’ reconviction. In the trial every reason given for revision by the Court of Cassation has been made good. INO additional proof has been given against Dreyfus, and much testimony has been given in his favor. Finally, on the eve of the verdict the copinrr stone of the defence 'as added by the German overn- ment which in an official statement, denied em- phatically that any communication had ever taken lace between Dreyfus and German agents. hos-e facts will stand out clearly. Dreyfus was not proved to be the writer of the bordereau; Dreyfus was not proved to have held communi- cation wish any foreign power; according to the rules of evidence the case should have fallen to the ground. But the honor of the nation has been sacrificed to the honor of the general staff, and Dreyfus has been made the scapegoat for the real culprits once more.” eau,J ‘I am just starting for the manteuvres,’ in- crimiuated Dreyfus, inasmuch as, being now a staff probationer, he was informed only on Aug. 29that he would not be required to attend the manoeuvres. These disclosures threw the mili- tary general stafi into consternation, and to bolster up their case they commenced to forge new documents of an incriminating nature, which were added to the dossier. One of these docu- ments was the work of Col. Henr , who, to avoid public disgrace, committed suici( e. The friends of Dreyfus now redoubled their efiorts to secure a revision, and were at last successful. The rrounds on which a new trial was ordered were riefly these: The lIenr ' forgery, the fact that it was proved that Dreyfus was notified in May that he would not be required to attend the man- (nuvres in August and consequently would not write the sentence in the hordereau, ‘Am starting for the manoeuvres.’ the contradiction of the handwriting experts as to the identity of the writing of the bordereau with the writing of Dreyfus; the absolute identity of the aper on which the berdercau was written wit Major Esterhuzy’s letter pa yer; the confession of Ester- hazy himself; odious documents proving that Dreyfus had no relations with foreign embassies ; adornment demonstmting that Dreyfus never confessed guilt, and, finally, the fact that a num- ber of documents pumorting to prove Dreyfns’ guilt were known to be forgeries.

The pieces of the b0 ereau were picked out of a wastepaper basket in the Embassy and brought to the War Office by a French arm spy. 'lhe trial was a secret one, and the ,-ev_i enee as dis- closed later was of a very flims and circ'um- stantial nature. However, Dre us was found guilty, de ded and sent to Dev' '3 Island, where e linger for many months. Act II. o ened with the disclosures made by The Paris igaro relating to the character of the testimony on which Dreyfus was convicted, and which were backed up bv Zola’s eloquent appeal for light and justice. The character of the evi- dence adduced at the court martial, as narrated by The Figaro, may be judged from a few extract-s.

The topic was “The Importance of Cultivating a taste for Reading.” In his introduc- tion he eulogized the Press in its untold, and untellahle influence in the dissemination of Literature and in furnishing the world an inexhauSt: ible supply of information. Refer- ence being made to the evolution of the press and its power in the mould; ing of National life and charaCr‘er, a graphic word picture was given con- trasting the difference between read- ers and non-readers of the present day and incidentally reference was made to ignorance as the most prolific sources of in, vice and superstition.
