EnqIand's Tribute to Or. Holmes.

England joins with America in sincere
tributes of affection and esteem to the late
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Here ct least,
the two great English speaking nations of
the world join in common sorrow at the
death of one whose great genius, and charm
ing personality, made him beloved upon
both sides of the Atlantic. The London
papers have editorially voiced the splendid
tribute of the English people to this great
American author and poet. The Standard
says: 1.-The death of DR.. Holmes will be
regretted by the whole English-speaking
world. His writings doubtless will continue
to have much influence in fostering good
feeling between England and America"
The Times had the following tribute
England entertains feeling of personal
affection for his name and memory. He
will live not only as favorite author but
also as beloved personality"
The Telegraph declared that 1.-The Eng
lish- speaking and reading world loses in
him one of the most illustrious men of let
tiers and subtle humorists of the century
The Chronicle said "Within his own
limits DR.. Holmes won an almost unique
position of universal love and respect. "
Such Just tributes as these to one who was
held in universal love and esteem by the
American people will 60 far to promote a
spirit of good feeling between the two coun-
tries

CAPTURING the Markets Of the World.

Speaking of the Democratic talk about
securing the Markets of the World" the
editor of the New York Recorder furnish
es some figures which in the light of re-
cent events, make exceedingly interesting
reading.
During the last year of President Ha,-
rison, and before the elections warned the
people here and abroad that Democracy
was in the saddle, the foreign commerce
Of this country reached the highest point
ever tanned by the nation. The aggregate
thereof reached the enormous sum of
1857. 6SO. 6lO in 1892.
In 1898, after the Democracy had warm
ed up to its work, it fell to Sl,7l4, 066, ll6,
and in 1894 to S1,547 1873, 69s. Here we
have falling off in 1898. as compared with
1892, of Sl43,614,4 94, and in 1894, as COM
pared with 1892, of $3lO,541,912.
In 1892 the exports from this country
exceeded iss imports by 1902, S75,Cs6. We
were then doing good, safe, paying bust
ness, selling more than we bought. But
after the advent of Democracy, in 1893,
the imports exceeded the exports Sls,735,-
1913, and we were buying more than we
were selling.
And how did the farmers come out under
Democracy? In 1892, under Harrison,
$799 1928 1882 worth of American agricul-
tural products was exported. In 1898, I'M
der Cleveland, the agricultural exports
amounted to but $6l5, 1882 1856, and in 1894
to only s62S,3ls. 77S. Here we have a
falling off in 1898 of $ls3,945, 24G, and in
1894 of sl7l ,0O9, 459, in the vital item of
farm exports.
And this is the sort of thing that Demo-
cratic statesmen call capturing the markets

AFTER HIS MONEY.
A Man and His Wife Charged with


A Man and His Wife Charged with
Murder.
Cleveland Ohio, Oct. 16.-The police
of this city believe that the murderer
of Montgomery Gibbs of Buffalo has
been run down at last The woman,
Sadie Robinson, who was taken to
Buffalo last night after confessing
that it was she who killed Gibbs, is
believed to have told the truth in
part at least.
Her husband is in Jail here, charged
with burglary, and a cousin of hers
named Bert Snyder, is also under ar
rest on the same charge. A detective
said to-day that Snyder had made a
statement to the police which threw
a food Of light on the Gibbs murder.
Snyder said that Robinson had con-
fessed the murder to him. According
to the story Robinson and his wife
arrived in Buffalo early last spring
They were penniless and decided to
commit robbery to get money. The
woman donned mems clothing and
she and her husband went to lonely
place on Delaware avenue to wait for
a victim. Gibbs was the first well
dressed man who happened along. He
was told to throw up his hands, and
when he resisted Robinson shot him.
The couple then fled and the next
morning they came to Cleveland. A
dispatch from Buffalo says. that AS
sistant Chief of Police Cusack of that
city started for Cleveland again last
night, and it is believed he will make
a demand for Robinson on the
strength of Snyder's story, which may
have been corroborated by the woman
who is closely guarded in the Buffalo
city prison.
