and the declaration that unless snol1
practices were stopped he would be forcod
to reduce rates between the Twin citio,
and the seaboard. Before the hour fes
the conference arrived the represent

cussed the situation. They stated tha,

whole difficulty, and it is known tbat
they have been reducing rates fror'

that certain eastern roads were pawn

northwestern roads agreed to make ever,

prevent the manipulation of 'labor rates"
to the south.
After the 500 line representatives vera
admitted to the conference the whole
situation was thoroughly canvassed. If
was agreed by all that the whole trou.
BILE had been brought about by the ey

business, and that this must be taken
into consideration in seeking a remedy
for the evil.

The idea entertained by those present
at the conference is that this is the be.
ginning of a concerted effort on the part
OF railroads to wipe out or bring under
control. the payment of commissions or

day at the interior department. Ben

land which the government by mistake
patented to settlers and for which the
company has accepted an equal quaint

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Mr. Blaine's

publication of statements that his all

THE SILVER CONFERE nee.
The American Delegates Set Forth 1lieIi
Views in "A Resolution.

The American Delegates set Forth Their
Views in "A Resolution.
BRUSSELS, Nov. %. The international
monetary conference resumed its sitting
this morning. Senator William b. Ali
son and Senator John u. Jones set forth
American suggestions. basing them on "a
general view Of the monetary situation
in the United States and the countries
represented in the conference. The great
est secrecy is in the meantime observed
concerning the American proposals
Montefoire Levi, president of the con-
ference, objects positively to anything in
regard to them being published. Alfred
dc Rothschild will submit suggestions on
behalf of Great Britain.
The American delegates submitted a
resolution declaring that in the opinion
of the conference 1t is desirable that
means be found for increasing the use of
silver in the currency systems of the ma
ions, The document prepared by the
American delegates and presented with
a resolution explained that they wished
that an opportunity could be afforded to
consider their plans. At the same time
they submitted a general plan of bi-
metallism offered by the United States,
showing first. that the rc-establishment
and maintenance of a fixed parity be
tween gold and silver and the Continued
use Of both as coined money of full debt
paying power would be productive of
important benefit to the world.
The document proceeds: These ends
will be accomplished by the removal of
the legal restrictions now existing and
preventing the coinage of silver into full
legal tender money by restoring by inter
national agreement a parity of value be-
tween the metals at such IA ratio as the
conference may decide upon. The es-
s~entials of such an international arrange
mcnt should be:
First The Unrestricted coinage of
both gold and silver into money of full
debt-paying power.
Second-tiyIng a ratio in the coinage
between the metals.
Third-The establishment of a uni
form charge, if any, to the public for
minting gold and silver coins.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Nov. %.
This place nay we'll be proud Of her
citizens, and among them l desire to
especially mention one who has worked
day and night for the good of the town,
never 'tiring and always intelligently
between the public spirit of such men
as Capt. D. B. Baldwin and that OF the
average citizen. The captain never loses
an opportunity to serve his fellow man
and especially his neighbor, and thus
finds himself constantly at work pro
bono publico.
IL is genuine pleasure to acknowl-
ekee courtesies from those who are &C
tuated by unselfsh motives and the
readers of THE TIMES are soon to be
placed under obligations to Capt. Bald
win, in that he has promised to give us
short history of Blue6eld from the
days when the Higgenbotham brothers
owned the face Of the earth hereabouts.
to the present day. This sketch is to
edition" and will occupy prominent
place, inasmuch as Bluedeld is now the
head centre of the great development
along the newly opened Ohio Extension.
Capt. Baldwin has left his footprint
upon the territory between Bluef1eld
and Graham, as it is to his credit as
much as any one man that the question
of the highway between the two places
was finally conceded, and happen to
know that the Captain really rejoiees
that this neigh5orly arrangement has
been consummated because he has the
kindliest feelings for the people of Ora
ham and wishes TO see that pretty town
grow and thrive. II this country was
blest with more such men we would all
be happier. l. AP.

ONO EXrENsIoN EDITION.

Our commissioner, who is engaged in
accommodating data for the forthcoming
special issue Of THE TIMES, reports tho
work growing upon him to such an OK
tent as to possibly mako it necessary to
postpone tho publication beyond Do
ceR1ber 5th, the dato OF issue announced.
The interest thus mantfesting and al
ready displayed justifcs us in predict
ing a most interesting and useful
compilation of historical, statistical anu
general information, thus placing IN
the hands of business men already in
terested in this development means
of ready refereuce to useful informa'
ton; to those prospecting, valuable
guide to future Investment; to those
seeking employment and homes in a
new country, truthful exposition OF
the means to that end.
1t will thus he seen that the forth
coming edition, though somewhat be-
lated, will be of great valuo to the in
terests specially reprcsente d, pre- minent
among which are the Norfolk and West
ern railroad, the Pocahontas Coal
Company, the separate coal interests or
companies operating leases, the coal
land companies, the timber interests
the new towns and cities in process OF
construction; and, by no means Sec
ondary consideration, the issue is being
made the vehicle of special advertising
among those who desire TO reach the at
tention of the enterprising and merry"
pioneers of this region, as we'll as those
prospectively interested.
Between twenty and twenty-five thou
sand copies of the above projected issue

LIGHT AHEAD.

THE TIMES has clearly shown the sen.
timent of the best men of Roanoke in
regard to professional" jurymen. Bar
and business men unqualiiedly con-
denim their employment Many valu-
able suggestions have been made from
inside and outside the courtroom.
The bar suggests that business men
should not shirk jury service and that
the court should enforce their service.
On the other hand business men say
that if the courts would keep better
business hours theylwould be more will
ing to serve.
The saving to the State and to the
community would be thousands Of dol
lars if courts would put in eight hours
of solid work daily during the term.
That would leave two hours each day
for consultation and preparation, and
still conflne the working day to the
modest limit Of ten hours. When it is
considered that but one case can be
handled at a time, and that the whole
bar outside of those imm ediately en-
gagged have their time free during the
progress of a trisl to prepare their OWE,
eight hours day is not excessive.
THE TINES believes it is entirely
within the discretion of the courts to
meet the public half way in this matter
of'reform. and adapt their hours TO the
desires Of business men, If busines
men will waive their objections and
etaunchly perform the jury service
which may fall upon them. We will
watch with interest the practical re
suits of this most thorough and satisfac
tory agitation.
