Berlin, Aug. 2.-The Cologne Gazette
and other semi-ofiicial organs have dur
ing the past week devoted more than
the usual amount of space to the pro-
ceedings of the international Socialists
trades congress which closed its ses-
sion in London yesterday. The fact
that more attention than usual was paid
to the congress was not due to recogni-
tion of the special Importance of the
meeting, but to the delight felt i'm being
able to expose the crazy idioSyncracies
of the delegates and the general inep-
itude of the Socialists to combine as a
political factor. Following on the Lille

the French members of that party scof-
fed at the sentiments of the German
delegates regarding the war hatchet be-
ing forever buried, the London meeting.
where Herren Bebel and Singer, Mad
anne Clara Zetkin and other German
delegates were feeble and ineffective
figures amid the general riot, greatly
helps to make socialism more odious
than ever throughout Germany
An electric explosive machine was
sent few days ago to Colonel Krause,
of the Berlin police Fortunately its
character was suspected and the ma
chine was opened and its contents rem

be elected He was resident of Big Lick
before Roanoke was dreamed of as the
successor of that Industrious and thrifty
little village, and was then regarded rs
one of the most energetic and promising
young men of the place When with the
completion of the Shenandoah Valley rail
road Roanoke. the Magic city of tho
South, sprang up in its place, he held his
own against all Corners in the rush and
hurry of its rapid growth and has always
been justly regarded as one of the most
substantial and progressive men of this
progressive city. Modest and unassum
ing, he has made his way wholly on his
own merits and no man in the CITY enioys
in higher degree the respect and conf
dence of his fellow citizens than w. X.
Andrews. He has for several terms rep
resented his ward in the City Council, and
has always been regarded by his fellow
citizens generally as the right man L. the
right place. OF sound Judgment and
conservative views, his course has been
such as to meet the commentator of his
constituents and add to his reputation for
business sagacity and sound common
sense. Though moderate in the express
sion of his views, he has been none the
less firm in his adherence to what he be-
lieved to be right, and if elected to the
position of president of the Council, we
feel fully justified in predicting, from his
past record, and what we know of him
personally, that he will discharge the du-
ties of that responsible position in
spirit of fairness and justice which will
win for him additional honor as a guar
dian of the city's interests.

The British are pushing forward the
Soudan campaign vigorously, with fair
prospect of regaining most of that coun-
try from the Dervishes, who have held
it ever since the fall of Khartoum, and
the death of General Gordon. France
looks on with envy, and with the aid of
Russia hopes eventually to compel the
British to withdraw from Egypt; but it
is hardly probable, after the expenditure
of so much blood and treasure, as will be
involved in the re-conquest of the Sou
dan, that the English will leave the coun-
try until driven out at the point of the
bayonet. At the beginning of the rebel
lion of Arab Pasha, Great Britain in
vited the French to join in the lombard
ment of Alexandria; but instead of doing
so they ingloriously steamed away to a
place of safety. Since then England has
held on to Egypt with a firm grip, and
that country has been greatly benefited
by the British occupation. France now
realizes the mistake in abandoning the
the scheme of joint occupation, and will
resort to any means short of actual war
to make. John Bull give up his prize
The latter, however, knows good thing
when he sees it, and is not in the habit of
giving up land upon which he has once
acquired foothold.

LEGAL TENDER MONEY.

Sir Archibald Allison, in his history of
Europe, says:
1.-The suspension of specie payments by
the bank of England in 1898 led to the
use OF an enormous amount of irredeem-
able paper money. The result was mag
ical. 1t terminated in a blaze of glory
and flood of prosperity which has never
before, since the beginning of the world,
descended upon any nation. Prosperity,
universal and unheard of, pervaded every
department of the empire. Agriculture.
manufactures and commerce increased in
unparalleled ratio. The landed proprie-
tors were in affluence Wealth to an nm
heard of extent was created among the
farmers. Our exports, imports and tom
mage more than doubled,a and the condition
OF the people was one of extraordinary
prosperity.
From 1877 to 1919 no financial embar-
easements of any moment were experi-
enced, and in vain Napolean waited for the
stoppage of England's financial resources.
But the resumption of specie payments of
lSl9--the change of financial system
from legal tender paper to metal money
was ruinous to all industries of England.
The distress became insufferable, and in
Manchester 60 900 men, women and child
| rem assembled, demanding blood or bread
| and many of the people were killed and
many were wounded by British troops"

A PRAYED MASK.

1t is worthy of note that, although the

mite pains by Hill and Whitney and in
tended to be administered to the rest of
the country by the machine-made Demo-
cratic convention of New York. attracts
the unbounded enthusiasm of the gold
press of the east, they make no effort
whatever to conceal their contempt for
the hypocritical demand for .interna-
tional bimetallism," which Mr.. Whitney
insists is the way to deceive the Chicago
convention.
The gold organs know that the Hill
Whitney declaration means the cold
standard, and while they indorse it. they
take pains to sheer or laugh Mt the ludi-
crous attempt to deceive anybody by the
poor old argument for international hi
metallism." Now, if the Hill Whitney
scheme is too thin to deceive eastern edi-
tors who are practically ignorant of the
financial question, how can any reasona-
bic person hope that the Democratic lead
ers at Chicago will be deceived by it,
