THE ANTI-SNAPpERS.

Chicago Herald, AS between Senator Hill
and Levi P. Morton tie New York Mugwumr
is strongly inclined TO take TO the woods.
Providence Journal: Trere are various in
dications that Hills responsibility for May
nard has not been forgotten nor forgiven by
Democrats ofthe better sort in New York.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Hills example
of voting with the Republicans when dissatis-
fed with party measures will be exten-
sively copied by the Democracy OF New York
in November
Springfield Republican: 1t is evident that
the deep dissatisfaction with the outcome oI
the recent State convention exists and is
growing, and this is not likely to lessen as the
campaign proceeds. The demand for honest
reform has been badly cheated, and the indie
pendent men of the Democracy are not likely
to sit quietly in the face OF such state o.
things.

COMING EVENTS CAST SHADOWS.

The Chinese empire will not be dismem-
bered by Japan If England and Russia can
prevent it. Such are the latest adviees from
Europe, and they open up vista Of import
ant possibilities.
At present Japan is reported TO be disin-
clined TO heed any remonstrances on the part
OF any foreign power, or brook any interfer-
nee whatsoever with her plans, whether
these be OF conquest or simply to make her
self the dominant factor in the Asiatic poll
Tics and diplomacy Of the future. Yet it can
hardly be doubted that If such pressure
should be brought to bear upon the Mikado's
government as England and Russia. with the
consent Of Germany and France, can put
forth. even the vigorous young Eastern
power-young in point of her adoption OF
modern civilization and forms of govern
ment-would not be able to withstand them.
Determined resistance on her part might in
volye an armed conflict which she might not
feel herself strong enough to engage in.
When looking beyond the immediate results
of the interference referred to, we discover at
once the fact that in them may lie concealed
the germs Of that great European conflict
which has so long Deen predicted. If Eng
land. or Russia. or both in conjunction, should
come to China's aid. they would certainly ex-
act their "quid pro quo" Substantial com
pensatory concessions would be demanded
from China by each, and these granted, the
traditional jealousy of each others prestige.
advantage and advancement in the East
would Immediately come into play.
Even now, with the disputed territory Of the
pamir as constant source of irritation, ac-
tive hostiities have seemed more than once 10
be on the point Of breaking out. The closer
proximity OF England and Russia in Chinese
affairs; the continual striving of one to over
reach the other; the natural desire of Russia
TO gain a foothold or such position in China as
10 give her there a vantage ground for her
operations against India-all these conditions
involve not only the possibility, but the probs-
bility Of such friction as would cause the con-
stantly smouldering spark Of international
hatred and jealousy to burst forth into ths
flame OF great war.
Such a conflict once begun would not be
confined to the East. nor need il be doubted
that before long Germany and France would
be compelled TO take sides The shadow OF
porteItous events is being cast athwart
Europe from the L astern continent, and the
present anxiety Of European cabinets finds
warrant in the grave contingencies Of the
future.

OUR SUPERIOR CITIZEN soLD1ERY

It should be a matter Of pride to the citi-
gems OF Washington that the Ancient and Hon
orable Artillery was welcomed and enter
tanned by local body Of citizen soldiery that
stands the peer Of any in the country.
1t seems sometimes that the guard is only
brought prominently into public remem-
brance Oh such occasions, and then every one
is proud Of it, But few follow the boys into
the everyday detail Of their military life and
see how they train themselves 10 be ready for
zny emergency. Few realize how they have
labored in cramped quarters. and how the
expenses of the camping season, only just
ended. were paid out Of the personal purses
OF privates and officers.
1t is known TO but few how the officers
have grown weary trying to secure funds
with which to procure larger quarters and
better facilities, and how at last, after years
OF seemingly useless effort, the guard is about
70 move into a new home. Had all this been
realized, perhaps funds would have been more
plenty and responses more generous.
But under all these disadvantages the
guard OF the District has been able to place
OF the country. 1t has carried of prizes at
interstate drills; without practice its sharp
shooters have given the best marksmen in
the country tussle for prizes at the best
ranges in the United States. and without
government aid its companies have held
camps which are models Of their kind.
Every resident Of the District should be
proud OF these young men. Their armories
at night present scenes Of unusual activity.
Prizes are being offered by the officers for the
best drilled squads and best drilled men.
Companies are recruiting up to their full
strength. Lectures on military law are being
delivered and with it all the routine of drill is
continued with an interest surprising even to
regular Army officers who are frequent
visitors.
The members Of the guard promise better

A HOME TALK.
Get at t'Em"

has for some time been the slogan of the
champion baseball club; and while we do not
admire the diction, yet 1t expresses a determi-
nation worthy of emulation in many of the
more serious affairs OF life, and the thoughtful
man, whose life has not been marked by pc
cuniary success, will find in the expression
much food for reflection. His first thought will
be how can I"get at 'em." Well, that is the
problem we hope to solve.
In the first place certain amount of self
confidence, or what is commonly called
nerve" backed by good Judgment, is
essential to success, and we know of
better way TO illustrate the case
than by reference 20 the unprecedented success
achieved by MessrS Wood, Harmon & Co. in the
development of the several subdivisions they
have operated since establishing an office here
six months ago. This enterprising firm came
here when real estate was unusually dull, sales
with many of our leading firms having reached
the minimum in years, but the conditions then
existing did not discourage these shrewd ope-
ra ore. They had every confidence that comes of
having climbed from an obscure position in
their business to the first rank, and are now by
far the largest operators in suburban real es-
tate in the world. The superior Judgment they
displayed in the selection of property was i'm
mediately recognized by a rent-burdened pub
lie, who were anxiously looking for some Moses
to lead them out OF the wilderness, some one
who could show them the way and furnish the
facilities by which they could own their homes
Well, Wood, Harmon g. Co s low prices, easy
terms and inducements were revelation, the
publics eyes were opened to the wonderful
possibilities under this firms helpful system,
resulting in the largest business in real estate
ever done in Washington within the same Pc
riod
But this progressive concern has not stopped,
and are notiresting on their laurels. Eternal
vigilance and unceasing effort is their motto,
and with keen appreciation of a good thing
they were not slow to recognize the superior ad-
vantages for home-building of a tract O. land
on the line of the Tennallytown and Rockville
Electric Railway. which they have purchased
and will open for sale to the public under the
1894, at prices much lower and upon easier
terms than such high class property has ever
before been offered. If you are interested in

WOMEN AS ALLIES.

Chicago POST DR.. Parkhurst shows n
level head in seeking the aid OF women in his
reforms
Pittsburg Dispatch: In appealing to the
women of New York in his crusade against
the vice Of the metropolis DR.. Parkhurst is
bringing powerful influence to bear in the
warfare The recent experience of Col
Breckinridge in the Ashland district of Ken
tucky demonstrated very clearly what aroused
womanhood is capable Of.
Baltimore American: Undoubtedly the
Breckinridge incident did much to show the
power OF womanhood when aroused in behalf
of virtue and public deceney 1t was an OBJ
iect-lesson to the country, made all the more
forceful because of the notoriety of the case
But in other places and in quieter ways the
women of America are doing as much good.

Holy Name Fair Is a Success.

The Carroll Institute Orchestra were in
great demand at the Church of the Holy Name
fair last night. From early in the evening till
nearly midnight they were called upon to rem
der waltzes, schottishes. and two steps for the
young ladies and gentlemen who desired to
dance. Father Delaney was present dur
ing the earlier part of the evening and
assisted the ladies whenever his help
was desired. The receipts last
night were exceptionally large and
far exceeded those of the two pre-
vious evenings. No one could resist the
temptation to patronize the confectionery
table in charge OF the Misses Conner, two Of
the most charming young ladies at
the fair, assisted by Mesdames
Israel NJ. Dugan. ]. G. Dugan, and
Misses T. Piper, A. Sullivan, E. Dugan. A,
Curry, NJ. Sullivan. K. HorriGan, n. Piper
NJ. Neumeyer, and i. Kearney. The Daily
Fair Journal continues to chronicle the hap
penings of the fair and Miss Bessie Earle has
received the congratulations of many friends
upon the excellent appearance and attract
iveness of the paper.

A SCARCITY OF SKILLED NURSES.

1t is TO be hoped that the superintendent OF
charities will Immediately grant the request of
the training school for nurses that students of
that institution be assigned for duty at the
Washington Asylum Hospital. 1t is proposed
that the service shall be rendered free OF cost
10 the District. except for the board of the
students.
The first result of such procedure would
be the technical nurse attendance which the
INDECENT sick would receive free of charge,
and for which they cannot pay, orthe District
afford to pay for them. II is the frank state
ment of the majority of physicians that their
science can so only half way, and that the
services OF the trained nurses are necessary
to properly supplement their labors. This
being so. it is hard to think that asylum
inmates are beyond the pale of such treat
ment just because they are poor.
The proposed system would also be of
great benefit to the nurses. Practice is as
necessary to proficiency in their profession
as it is to the medical student. In other
cities the municipal hospitals are open to
women studying to become trained nurses.
and there is no reason why the same facil-
tiles should not be afforded in Washington.
Further than this. any method of stimula-
ting an increase in the number of trained
nurses in this city is nothing short of a bene-
fit to the whole population. 1t is generally
known that the number OF professional
nurses in Washington is ridiculously small,
and the cost of such service is correspond
ingly high. Physicians are constantly COM
planning that the average Washington trained
nurse is too expensive a quantity for the
average patient.
Another important consideration in this
connection is the relation of the character of
the coming generation to the cost of skilled
obstetrical nursing. At present the old colored
nanny is the most popular custodian OF ex-
tremely young America and extremely young
Americas mother in this city, and she is
popular because she is cheap. But it is highly
probable that the scientific modern nurse
plays as important a part in such cases as
the skilled modern physician. Washington
should have more professional nurses and
cheaper fees.

RUMORS AVAILED NOTHING
Bears Arguments Were Without Ef-
feet in Strong Market.
GOOD BUYING IN RAILROADS
Industrials Hold Steady and Close Nearly at
Thursdays Figures-London Continues to
Exhibit Faith in Yankee Securities
Thursdays Covering Movement Continued.

NEW York, Oct 5. Speculation on the Stock
Exchange to-day has been strong in tone and
the movement of prices has been upward, the
occasional slight reactions which occurred
being merely the usual unimportant reces-
sions Incidental to a rising market and due to
realizing sales and bear spurts, which did not
seriously interrupt the advance toward a
higher range of values.
1t was in the railway list that the improve
Eent was most marked and of this group the
Grangers were the leaders. prominent
factor of the situation was the frmness of
American securities on the London market,
although beyond some small buying OF ST.
Paulthe foreign houses were not In the market
10 any appreciable extent. Yesterdays cover
ing movement was continued and most OF the
room traders were on the bull side OF the
market and there did not seem to be any bear
arguments on which the shorts could operate.
So firm was the tone of speculation that no
effort to hammer stocks was made on the an
nouncement OF the appointment of receiver
for the well-known stock exchange firm of
Coffin d Stanton which appears to have been
due rather 10 disagreement between the
partners than to any financial embarrassment,
their relations having been strained for some
time past
The rumored death of the Czar was also
without effect on the street, and no better evil
dence of the markets strong undertone Is
needed than that neither nor Doth OF these
circumstances caused the slightest speculative
furry. Under ordinary conditions temporary
depression. at least, would have followed the
one and the other.
Sugar led in the transactions and was so
successfully manipulated as to be closed ex-
actly at yesterdays price OF S55s, after having
been run up TO S69s and sold down TO 845s.
There is growing belief that the controlling
interests in the stock are desirous OF keeping
the price down for effect on Congress, and are
not averse to increasing their holdings at the
lower figures.
Chicago Gas also stands unchanged on the
day, having moved within a range of per
cent. Early in the day deal of this stock
was sold to take the profits OF yesterdays ad-
vance, while in the later dealings there was
good buying OF the shares.
1t is thought that the bull clique, disliking
too many followers, took occasion TO shake
out some Of the weaker holders by letting the
price down few points.
The principal gains on the day are: Bur-
lington and Quincy, Lake Shore, Erie pre-
ferred, Northern Pacific preferred. and To-
| bacco preferred, l per cent; st. Paul, 175;
Pittsburg G. c.. and st. Louis, II; Denver
and Rio Grande preferred, 15s; New Jersey
Central and st. Paul preferred, IL. and
Adams Express, 4per cent.
Declines were established OF per cent. in
st. Paul and Duluth, Ohio Southern. and
American District Telegraph. In the final
dealings trading was light in volume, but the
market closed strong.
