A Leader In Arbitration.

When the United States congress sons time ago authorized the president to con clude treaties of arbitration with other nations, it probably builded far more grandly than it knew. It is quite pos sible this action of American congress men will give tho United States the proud distinction of being the initiator and leader in tho path of international arbitration for the settlement of all dis gutes.
 In the British parliament member made mention in highly commendatory terms of this action of congress, At the game time he offered a motion that the house of commons express the hope that the British government would open ne- gotiations with the United States with the aim of having all differences between the two countries settled by arbitration. Mir. Gladstone himself paused in the heat of battle for home rule long enough to amend the motion so that it would read,
 AhS hONSO oL pathizing with the purpose in view, hopes that her majesty's government will lend a ready cooperation to the government of the United States" The amendment was seconded by no less distinguished member than Sir John Lubbock, and the resolution was adopt ed without dissenting voice.
 The United States and Great Britain gre the two greatest nations on tie globe. With the settlement of all ques- tions between them by peaceful arbitra- tion an example and precedent will be set before the excitable Latin races and the feverish, fussy, little emperor of Germany that may be the beginning of universal disarmament. Perhaps the twentieth century will sec that ideal realized, and that through the enlight- ened initiative taken by the United States

The Christian Union has changed itg name and will hereafter be known as The Outlook. twill still be a Christian tamily paper, but in the judgment of its proprietors and editors the former name identified it too closely with the religious press and stamped it rather as donorl- national journal, while it was exactly the contrary of denominational. Henry Ward Beecher in 1869 laid down the principle on which he determined it should be conducted-that of promoting unity and brotherhood among Christians of all denominations. Since 2oechers death Dr. Abbott has carried the paper along the same road.

Tesla believes hc has advanced one
 more step toward the explanation of electricity. He says its effects may Jc controlled by the number and kind of vibrations used. Tesla's own particular contribution to electrical science was she discovery of how to produce exceed ;ngly rapid alternating currents. He says of these currents: By their help we may cause body to throw out more light while at certain mean tsmpera- ture than it would emit if brought to that temperature by steady supply. Again, we may bring body to appoint of fusion and cause it to erit less light than when fused by the application of energy in or iinary ways. It all depends upon how we supply the energy and what kind of we set up. In one case the are more, in the other less. adapted to affect our sense of visiOn."

ChuutQuQua.

An event in many minds second only in importance to the Fourth of July is the annual opening of the great Chau- tauqua assembly. The summer course of instruction, which has since expended all over the world, began in 1879. Bish- up Vincent of the Methodist church and Mr, Lewis Miller started at ChautauQua T two weeks course of instruction in Bible study. From this two weeks of summer Bible study tho course doyel- oped. In another year there were added more classes in sacred literature and in branches especially pertaining to Sunday school study,
 Now there are two months of regular summer schooling. As to the branches included in the course, it is much easier to say what is not tackled iathat Chau- tauqua assembly in the way of study than what is. Among the departments are mentioned tho following: Schools of music, physical education, industrial drawing, art and artistic work, china decoration and tapestry painting, wood carving and clay modelling, photog- raphy, elocution and oratory, kindergGr- ten, cookery, shorthand and typewrit- ing and business practice.
 Tho most distinguished lecturers from Europe and America gre heard every summer. The only litaitation insisted on closely is that the lecturers shall say nothing opposed to the authority and claims of the present orthodox Christian faith. But about everything but heter- odoxy can secure hearing, including Delsarteism and cookery.

THE DEADLY DRou7H.

In Indiana the Greatest Havoc Has Been
Wrought.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-At the de-
partment of agriculture it is stated
that the wheat and corn crops through
out Ohio this year are about the aver
age of a good yield, and that reports
indicate successful harvesting. But in
Indiana reports show that the UMPIRE
cedented drouth of Ike past three
months continues throughout the
state, only interrupted by light local
rains.
The corn crop, that early in the sea-
son promised TO be one of the best, has
declined to little more than a half
crop and in many counties as low as a
quarter crop. Potatoes have suffered
the same decline as corn, making little
more than half crop of inferior quail
tty. Pastures are burned and dried
out until there Is not sign of life in
them. They are really fields Of dust in
stead of yerdure. Fruit is a failure
Apples, that are apparently 10 per cent
of fnn crop, drop to about 5 per cent
when quality is considered. Peaches
are a trife better, yet small and in
tslior in quality.

THE VOORHEES, slll
Clairman Springer Makes a VERY nm
portant Discover.

Ciairnan Springer Makes q VERY nm
portant DIscovery
WAsIINeToN, Oct. ehairman
Springer of the banking and currency
committee, while examining the coin
age laws which have been passed at
various times in the history Of the
country, is said to have discovered the
fact that If the VOORHEES, bill becomes a
law, the coinage act OF 1887. under
itch there was free coinage extending
on the date to the RECONCILIATION
ct of 1873, would be re-esfablished as
the law of the land. lie at once has
tened to the treasury department and
laid the matter before Secretary Car
Isle. who has reserved his decision.
Ihe Sherman act repealed $50 much
OF the act of Feb. 2S. 1878. entitled an
act to authorize the coinage of the
standard silver dollar and to restore its
legal tender character as required the
monthly purchase and coinage of the.
same into silver dollars Of not less than
81. 000. 600 worth of silver bullion.r
In place of this it provides for tho
purchase of $500. GOO ounces, and it is
this substituted amount which the
voorhees, bill, now pending in the sem
ate, repeats. But the remainder of the
act of Feb. %, 1873, remains intact,
and the passage OF the Voorhees, bill
would establish the following portions
of that act as the law of the land. viz:
.There shall be coined, at the several
mints of the United States. silver dol
lars of the weight of 412 IA troy of
standard silver. as proyided by the act
of Jan. IS, 1887, on (which shall be the
devices and the superscriptions as pro-
yided by said act. which coins together
with all silver dollars heretofore coined
by the United States of lilts weight and
fneness. shall be legal tender at their
nominal value for all debts and dues,
public and private, except when other
wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract"
This re-establishes the act of 1887
without imposing any Limitations upon
the amount of silver dollars that ..shalI
be coined"

In the Mansfield Mine Near Crystal Fails,
Michigan.
CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Sept. 3d.
With terrific rush the waters of the
Michigan river broke through a bed
weakened by mining into the Mansfield
mine between and 10 o'clock Thurs
day night, drowning % men who were
at work in the mine under the cave-in.
There were 46 men in the mine when
the accident occurred, but IS of them,
who were working in the lower levels,
managed to escape.
None of the bodies has been re-
covered. and it is believed 1t will be
necessary to divert the channel of the
river before they can be secured.
When the cause of the accident was
explained to the anxious inqulrers. a
cry of horror went up as they realized
that the long expected and dreaded
accident had taken place.
CRYSTAL FALLS, Oct. 2.-The de.
tails of the Mansfield mine disaster$a are
now known. There were 40 men. in the
mine, of which but 10 escaped. The
mine extends far beneath the Michigan
river which broke through, giving the
men in the lower levels no chance for
their lives. Most of the victims were
Italians. Six were married.

Has Gov. Wilson no right to make

Mr.. Statesman that Ex-Governor
Wilson is plotting deviltry against
the Democratic party? His Democ-
racy is as pure and uncorruptible
as any mans in the State, and to
him in the last campaign much
credit is due for the grand success
our party attained. He is right on
the tariff and he is right on the sill
yer question. He is a true and
loyal Democrat and right with the
people all the time. and why should he
be looked upon as concoctlng "dev-
lily" as the Statesman charges.

Governor MacCorkle, Senator
Camden and the gentlemen who
accompanied them, made serious
bIunder in appearing before the
Ways and Means Committee, in the
interest of higher tariff on coal,
and placed themselves in a most
unfortunate position as Democrats.
-1MGrtins6uTg World.
Senator Camden was not before
the Committee, and the World was
aware of the fact when it penned
the above mean article. In its
charge it had a hidden purpose,
that will disclose itself in time.
Senator Camden was not in compa-
nv with Governor MacCorkle in
the interest of high protective tariff
on coal or any other West Virginia
product. The Senator stands
squarely upon the Democratic
National platform, and is opposed
to a protective tariff, and will help
vote the Ubiquitous KcKinley bill out
ofexistence. Heis true to his party
and favors tariff for revenue only.
The IForld should hasten to correct
its mistake.

The State Journal, of Parkersburg,
is finding fault with Mr.. Cape
hart for his silver views, and also
berating bin because he did not
vote for the repeal of the purcbas-
ing cluase of the Sherman law. The
Democratic platform demanded the
immediate and absolute repeal of
the Sherman law-not the purchas-
ing clause, and Mr.. Capehart in his
action is standing clearly by the
party platform. The silver pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman law
should not be repealed, unless sill
yer coinage substitute is provided
to take its place. This is the
reason for the delay in the Senate.
The gold bugs want to repeal the
purchasing clause of this odious law,
and then the silver men can
whistle when the people get relief
from the gold bugs. 1t will never
pass the Senate as the bill is report
ed unless a compromise is brought
about. Senator Faulkner's amend
ment to the Voorhees, bill is the solu-
ton of the whole question.

The people of this State and the
Democratic party which represents
the people, have sustained a vigor-
GUS assault from the rich and soul
less corporations, and it behooves
every Democrat, who loves his party
and the principle it represents, to be
on his guard. The fight is not with
Governor MacCorkle SO much as it
is with the wealthy corporations
which have sought to use him for
their benefit. THESE corporations
are not only seeking to influence
State officials, but arc also seeking
to control the press of the State
They have got control of one Demo
cratic paper, an effort to control
others may be expected. 1t is a
serious time for the party, and every
Democrat must stand by his gun
and be prepared for the battle
which is already on.
