Henry Labouchere suggests that
the dispute between England and
Venezuela be submitted to Japan for
arbitration. The idea is picturesque
and startling, as are not a few evolved
by the vivacious editor OF Truth, and
1t is not likely to be taken into very
serious consideration by anybody,
but it has other qualities as well. In
the first place, the selection Of Japan
for this high Office would be a con.
elusive recognition of her entrance
into the family of civilzation-arecog.
milton which the Japanese would Ger.
tainly appreciate at its full value, and
which they would use every effort to
justify and repay by rendering an alb.
solutely just decision. That they
have sufficient intelligence for under.
taking the task cannot be doubted.
They are, too, perhaps the only
people thus equipped who could ap.
proach the matter in a completely dis
interested spirit. OF course, the
natural arbiter in this controversy is
the United States. but we have not in.
sisted on exercising the function, and
is there any reason why it should not
be intrusted to the great and good
Emperor Mutsuhito?

hypnotic entertainments. There will be
no matinee to-day.
At the Clunie Opera-house this after
noon at 2 and tonight at s the stock

At the Metropolitan Theater Tuesday
evening next the Steve Brodie Company
in "On the Bowery." The box office
opens Monday morning. Those who like
sensational melodrama and boisterouS
fun in their theatrical entertainment
will take pleasure in the drama. This
play, in which Steve Brodie participates
heroically, produces both thrills and
laughs in abundance, we are told. The
former are caused by numerous situa-
tions in the story of the young reporter
who has a narrow escape from unde-
served Imprisonment, and of the two
girls, one the reporters sweetheart, and
the other the intended victim of a
scoundrePs villainy. Steve Brodie, not
only by jumping from Brooklyn Bridge,
hut also by other timely deeds, saves
those in danger and helps to right the
wrongs. He has part, too, in the comedy
element of which there is more in this
play than in almost any other piece Of
its kind. The famous saloon scene is an
especially good specimen Of riotous fun.
The managers, we are assured, have
given ION the Bowery" an uncommonly
fine scenic production.

yer until the mine owners of the world,
with the dollars we coin, can build a
pyramid whose apex reaches to the
eternal stars, and when it is builded and
completed there is not one man in the
United States who can take just one
dollar from that pile unless he has 100
cents worth of labor or the product of
labor to give in exchange, and whenever
a man in this free country has an oppor-
tunity to exchange his labor or his pro-
ducts for money, he ought to insist upon
receiving in payment the best dollar
that the civilized world affords.
The silver advocates tell us we have
been on a gold basis since 1873 and we
admit it. Is there a mortgage in the
State of Ohio which bears a debt made
prior to 1873. Has not every dollar that
has been borrowed by an Ohio farmer
or by any Ohio man on note and mort
gage been paid to him in gold or money
equivalent to gold? Is it just that he
should pay in any other money than
that he has borrowed? But when do the
mortgages of the farmers and mechan-
les become due? The ordinary term of a
mortgage on real estate is from three to
five years. Very little money is bor-
rowed for a longer term by small bor-
rowers. Your time to pay is coming
soon. Where will you get the new cheap
money in which to pay? Is 1t possible
that all the farmers of Ohio will be pre-
pared when their mortgages come due
to pay them off principal and interest
in money worth fifty cents on the dol
lar?
''The fact Of it is, my countrymen, you
do not expect to pay and you cannot pay
your present mortgages when they be-
come due. You will be prepared to pay
the interest; you may be prepared to
LAY part of the principal; your hope is
to renew from time to time at the same

ally, year by year. pay of until your

try. When your mortgages come due If

Hands With Thousands.

CANTON, Sept 1S-Major Mckinley

OGDEN Otah), Sept. 1S.-Ogden and
vicinity have to-day been visited by a
terrific windstorm, which began at
about noon and is still raging. There is
no accompaniment of rain or hail, but
the gale is blowing at about sixty miles
per hour. Trees had been blown down
and plate-glass fronts blown in, but no
serious damage occurred until $50
o'clock this evening, when large three
story brick warehouse, 5Ox1OO feet, be-
longing to Kiesel & Co, wholesale gro
GERS, was blown in, and the contents
fired by electric wires. A few minutes
after the crash the entire outfit was one
mass Of flames, and many smaller build
ings were completely destroyed with it..
The building is located at the foot of
Twenty-fourth street, on Wall avenue,
near the railroad yards, and is sur
rounded by numerous other warehouses.
The damage and loss will exceed $780,
coo.
The Utah and Northern passenger
train which leaves Ogden at $50 o'clock
ran into an obstruction in the shape of
falling trees, and almost every pane of
glass in the cars was broken out The
train returned to Ogden for repairs.

was still holding that something in his
hands which he plucked from the WIN
dows, was free and going up the street
with the velocity of a runaway trolley

Pennish the Dempsey duck and was
once again speeding toward the corner
Of Fourth and ].
Then did the Trustee join in the chase
and loyally shouted stop him!" Just
near the corner Pennish saw a big man
standing. who see-sawed before the ap-
preaching thief. The peculiar motions
of the big man, who was afterward as
certained to be F.. F. Foran, was con-
fusing to the flying little man, and the
result was that in trying to alter his
course his feet slipped and down he
came with Foran a good second and an
other Young man beaten for the place
by a neck.
And that is how City Trustee Timothy
T. Pennish saw the robbery and took
psrt in the pursuit Of the thief.

station it was found that in reaching
in for the tray he had cut his hand con-
siderably on the broken glass.

JEWELRY DRUMMER MISSING.
Suspicion That He May Have rlet

PORTLAND (Or.), Sept. 1S.-Charles

Francisco, who is well known in this
city, is missing. He passed through
Portland on his way to Montana late in
August, and was last seen in Butte,
Mont, where he was at the Hotel Nc
rermott until September 3D.. when he
disappeared from the hotel. He left
$1,000 worth of samples. 1t is believed
in Butte that he has either become de-
mented suddenly and wandered away
or that he met foul play at the hands of
men who knew that he had valuables in
his possession. Fairchild is son of a
retired gold pen manufacturer of New
York. During the last ten years he has
travelled for San Francisco jewelry
houses and has made scores of trips to

men, and various other organizations will
call upon the Ohio statesman at Canton,
who will speak of the beauties of protec-

THE MONEY POWER AND THE
PEOPLE.

Having made a dismal failure in the
line of speech making, theRepublican lead.
ers have virtually decided to abandon the
campaign of education" and fall back
upon the convincing power of DOODLE
If the people of this country can be pur-
chased at such a critical time as this
when everything most dear to them is at
stake, the election must be conceded in
advance to the Republicans. In the be-
lief, however, that American patriotism
and intelligence are not for sale at any
price, the Democratic party anchors its
hope in this election.
Though gold may not be invoked sue.
cessfully to the aid of the single standard
advocates in the campaign which is now
on, its powers will nevertheless be used
to the utmost advantage. Already the
sum of $50, 100000 has been pledged by
the money power, and if more is needed
ii will doubtless be forthcoming. Never
was such determination manifest as in
the attitude which the plutocrats and
millionaires have assumed in this cam
paign.
The masses OF the people are not so
easily deceived Though not schooled in
the higher branches of learning they are
sufficiently versed in human nature to
understand that when millionaires put
their heads together it is usually some
| motive of self-interest that brings about
such a concert of action
One effect, therefore, of the enormous
Republican campaign fund will be to or
ganize and solidify the masses of the
country. 1t will serve to put them more
thoroughly on guard and to steel them
against the force of any argument which
| can possibly be advanced.
While the Republican party has mill
ions at it's back, the Democratic party,
which represents the plain people, has not
| more than enough to defray the legiti-
| mate expenses of the campaign No mer-
| cenary speakers will be employed by the
Democratic campaign committee to pro-
| claim the gospel of free coinage. Every
| man who raises his voice on the Demo-
| cratic side of the great issue which is now
| pending will do so from a sense of duty
and with no inspiration save that of
| patriotism.
Never in any previous campaign have
Il e lines been more distinctly drawn be-
tween the people on one side and the
money power on the other Surely at such
a time as this, when American virtue is
in the balance, the people of this country
| will stand the test. If our fathers, in
| 1776, could resist the fire of British guns,
| surely their descendants in the present
crisis can meet without hinching the as
| sault of British gold.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.

Roanoke is particularly fortunate in
having such fine educational institutions
The presence of these schools can but give
in period of years 'cultivating and re-
lining tone to the whole city. We wish,
however, now to impress upon our young
men the Importance of taking advantage
of these opportunities. Education is
needed more to- day than ever before
This is true not only because of the more
general prevalence of intelligence, but
also because in the struggle of life the ed
ucated man has, other things being equal,
an incalculable advantage over his less
fortunate competitor with very little, if
any, school training Nowadays one
needs all the aids possible in order to win
success along any line, and we can little
afford to be without that greatest of all
aids-a highly trained mind-if we ever
hope to occupy any position of promi-
nence. So it is to be regretted that so
many of our young men stop school at the
age of 16 to II, or perhaps earlier, merely
to accept some slightly remunerative posi-
ton. They jeopardize the future for the
sake of temporary advantage Just
now, while business is so inactive, is the
very best time to prepare thoroughly and
solidly for an active and useful career.

turn of prosperity, so sure to follow a
