Growth of the German Democracy.

In the middle of tho confusion and
wrangling of other parties the Social
Democrats are full Of activity and of
hope. They have many reasons for their
confidence. For some years past the en-
peror. the political parties, the church,
even Prince Bismarck. have coquetteC
with them more or less have acknowl-
edged that their aims are often excellent
and have promised with here and there
n qualifying but or if to carry them
out as far as is humanity possible. They
are therefore justified i'll the hope that
voters whose minds have been trained to
hear them with attention by this general
chorus of approval will be the more dis
posed to listen to promises which are not
qualified by Ifs" and butts"
Then the Social Democrats are well
organized and know both what they
want and how they propose to obtain it.
These are great advantages to political
party i'll all countries, but are more par
ticularly SO among the Germans, whose
natural instinct it is to obey orders and to
march in file, even when they are in re-
volt. 1t is therefore quite possible that
the Social Democrats may double their
numbers at the next election, and it will
not be surprising if that estimate is sur
passed. London Saturday Review.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-07-07

George KEENAN,, the Siberian traveller,
writing on the Russian extradition treaty
in The Forum, makes the startling as
sertion ION the highest authority" that
even now "the Russian secret police at
st. Petersburg open and read the pri-
vate letters Of the American minister
and the members of the American lega-
tion." lie adds Significantly: 1T seems
to mo that government which makes a
practice of opening and reading not only
the private letters of its own subjects,
but the letters of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of friendly state, is not a
government upon whose honor it is safe
to rely i'll question of extradition."

sioners Butt. Holiday, Massey and others
were sitting i'll the rotunda of the Palmer
House discussing Worlds fair matters when
they observed tall, lean, hungry looking
man in shabby attire standing against one
of the gilded pillars on the opposite side of
the lobby
Suddenly they sNw him drop to the floor
as if dead. They rushed forward and raised
the fallen man and were joined by Clerk
Cunningham and Il number of guests. - As
iacy closed about him an outsider rushed
up, felt the mans pulse, rubbed some oint-
ment on his forehead, and after a few min
utes the person whom all believed to he
dead slowly revived. OF course all were
guessing rs to the strangers ailmcnt when
the man with the ointment announced:
Gentlemen, this man is suffering from
chronic starvation. In my experience of
% years as II physician have handled ut
least 80 cases similar to this. There is moth
ing in the world the matter with him ex-
cept that he is starving"
This speech took place after the helpless
man had been carried across the lobby to Il
chair, on which he stupidity sat, slowly re-
covering. When the alleged physician had
made his statement, Commissioner Butt
broke in:
THAT can't be, for he told me moment
ago that he had had his supper"
Its so nevertheless" answered the
ointment man sagely, because have
treated cases just like this. He may have
had his supper, but he didn't have what
was necessary What he needs is beef

Commissioner Butt is sympathetic
man, and no one else coming to the rescue
he said, We'll, if bcefstcak is all this
man needs, he shall have it" And there
upon the West Virginia commissioner drew
silver dollar from his pocket and gave it
to the forlorn looking man affected with
chronic starvation. With unexpected
sprightlness the poor fellow rose from the
chair, grasped the arm of his confederate,
sauntcred lightly out of the hotel and down
the street, while Mr. Butt enjoyed the
laugh OF his fellow commissioners. After
it was all over each one could figure out

TIE BUSINESS s1ruAr1oS.

Whiio there are few decided signs
of coming impr0 Tement in the bust
ness situation, says the American Man
ufacturer, the Impression seems to be
general that the worst Of the present
depression is about over. 1t is admitted
by al that the cause of the trouble has
been want of confidence. The fact that
the business interests have got through
the squeeze so far without disastrous
results is taken as an indication that
things from this time forward, will
grow easier.
From some quarters come reports of
better run or business during the past
week or ten days. The feeling of I'M
certainty in the iron trade at least has
been made much worse by the discussion
of wage rates for the coming year. 1t
is the general opinion that, with the
scale question settled tie situation in
the trade will be materially improvna
In few weeks the coming OF fall
business will have some effect on trade,
and this effect must certainly be for the
better. Even now there is greater
degree OF confidence apparent than was
shown a short time ago, and with
returning belief that things are goirg

THE SEWER EXCAVATIONS.
The Hearing in the Injunction Case Begun
Yesterday,

The apple alton of P. L. Terry and
others for an injunction restraining any
further excavations to be made for
sewer work during the summer months
came up before Judge John w. Woods
In the Hastings Court yesterday after
noon at o'clock. Dispositions of Dr. =.
A. Gale and others were filed, tending
to show that the healthful benefit to be
derived from the sewers finished during
the summer would more than counter.
balance any evil results that might arise
from the excavations. The city was
represented by Eston Randolph, the
city solicitor, the contractors by Scott
n Staples, and the petitioners by Watts,
Robertson and Robertson. The dep.
ositions were read and part OF the argu-
ments made. The hearing OF the argu-
ment was continued, and will be called
up again to-day.
This is very important case, and tn q
decision of Judge Woods is awaited with
interest. Should the injunction be
granted. motion will at once be made
TO dissolve the injunction, and tho
failure of that motion might possibly
make the city liable to the contractors
