JAY Gould Testiflcs.

Jay Gould, Of New York, was be-
fore the congressional committee for
investigator: the labor troubles, and
testified at great length. To say
that he acquitted himself with great
ability and clcverncss, is but to cx-
press the truth and confirm the opin-
ion the people had formed Of him
before he went on the stand.
Among other things Mr. Gould said

Gould was emphatic in his declar.
alton that he was always in favor Of
arbitration. Arbitration. he said,
was getting to be very easy and
popular way OF settling difficulties
between individuals and corpora.

not believe that competition is the

with Mr.. Nimmo, late chief of the

that the stronger the railroad com.

conflict Of some sort. At the very
best We can only hope for . reduc.

agreed tina, this can be done, as all
are agreed that il should be done.
Then, instead Of insisting on ex.
tremr measures, an effort should be
made to harmonic on some meas.

democratic party TO the country.
The tariff is a question of cxpedi.

principle, and no serious trouble
ought to be experienced in ascer.
tanning common ground that both
wings of the party could stand on
and support. Indeed, if anything
is done this session some plan Of this
kind must be discovered, or nothing
will be accomplished.
We should be glad to see the
question disposed Of in some prac,i.

wIGGiNs FAILS AGAIN.
His Direfui Prophecy for Sept. 20
UnfulfillCd.

The was-to.have.been eventful "Sept.
29'' came and went the same as any
other day without anything like an earth
quake to save Virgins reputation and
let him out ofthe scrape that he has got
into. There were a good many nervous
people, though, who breathed easier last
night than they did during the day. The
colored people are not the only ones whose
fears were excited. A good many innocent
| white iolks felt like tOrgiy;Eg Wlggine
when the clock struck II last night and
the days suspense was ended.
There was not the feeling of alarm
among the coored people that there
was two weeks ago. 1t was evident,
though, that most Of them bad
something on their minds. The colored
churches were crowded last night and the
services lasted until nearly midnight.
| The attendants were all terribly in earn
est. The preachers have been reaping a
rich harvest during the past month. and
the memberships OF all the churches have
been greatly swelled. AS on earnest eX-
hOrter said: "Ebry shake am good for
fifty souls.''
The negroes have not placed much faith
IN the Liberty county wOman's predic-
ton that the world WAS coming to an end
| on Sept. 80. when questioned as to this
their almost invaTiab'e reply was: dat
DOMAINS perdietion dom worry me, case /
know she dom know no mo- bout it dan /
does, eDen ef she did die and cum back
ter life agln. Dom de Bible say dat not
chen de angels in heaven know wen dat
day am gwine ter be, an | knows dat
CONAN dom know mo- dan de angels"
Only one darkY was seen who was
firm in his belief that Yesterday would be
the end Of all things. He WAS SO sure of
this That he had drawn all his money out
of the bank and gwen it to the church,
saying that it soon would be Of no use to
him.
The fact that Virgins had settled on
sept. % for his great earthquake caused
more ureasiness than the fear OF the
millennium, for the earthquake is come
thing that ia fresh in their memories and
whose power has been recently eXpe-
rienced. The majority were on the look
out tor good shake. and would not have
been surprised TO have seen one OF much
greater severity than any yet felt.
| All of them had their ears open for the
| first sound OF GabriePs horn, and when
night came a good many were disap-
| pointed because it did not blow.
at mayn't be too late yet" said an old
| coiored woman on her way home from
! church. II knows my times come when
ther Lor' gifts ready, en- | don't feel no
! wise OneasV."
| Aside from the feeling of uncertainty
| that prevailed among them there was
| very little said by the cOlored people
! about the quake. 1t was a subject that
| they did not like to talk about too freely
| until the time for the shaking up" was
