Silver and Surrender.

Gold and Go Ahead is practically tn,

two leading features OF Republican policy
as presented in these four words.
On the Republican side 1t is bound to be

our esteemed contemporary need not

on the two great issues of the times. We
have already suggested such phrase.

The Oceanic,

The biggest existing ship the Ocean c.
began yesterday her maiden voyage from
Queenstown to New York. While the world
has wondered at her size, transatlantic
shipping men have been more inter-
ested in the rumors current as to
her speed. Would that be great, or
moderate onlyp Was she to outsteam the
Atlantic feet as we'll as overtop them all in
size as the Campania and Lucania OF the
Cunard Line did In their time, and as the
Kaiser Wilhelm Of the North German Lloyd
Line did after them? Or would she be
merely as the White Star people describe
her, namely, Comfortable" rather than
fast. Many men in charge OF Atlantic
shipping have concluded that speed,
called great by the modern stand
ard, does not pay, and that more profitable
business can be done with moderate
speed; say sixteen to eighteen knots
instead OF twenty to twenty-five.
Experts Of this way of thinking have,
therefore, given full credit to the White
Star announcement that the new boat
would not be fast; but others, equally
knowing in the business, have steadily
believed that the talk that no oxpec-
tations OF speed need be formed OF the new
ship. was merely put forward as shield
for possible failure to realize tho high
hopes which have been actually enter
tanned.
The suns despatch printed yesterday
concerning the Oceanic said that in her
trial trip she reached n speed OF twenty
three knots. This does not look like retro

THE SON is MUCH PERPLExED.
He Writes to Secretary Owen About
His Visit To q Woman Who Profess
es 10 Read the Future as Well
as the Past.

There Is a possible clue 10 the disap-
pearance Of Mr.. John T. Wilson, promi-
nent farmer Of Chesterfield county II
will be recalled that his son, Mr.. j. NJ
Wilson. came to Richmond and visited
the Governors office. The Executive
was absent. but Secretary owen listened
to the young mans story. The son
wanted the Governor to aid him in his
search for his father. Mr. owen prom
ised that everything possible would be
done. The police were also requested to
assist in the search.
ASKS ABOUT THE MONEY.
a day or two ago Richmond gentle
man visited the Governors office to seek
information with reference TO the amount
Of money Farmer Wilson had on his
person, and the character OF il. He
would not talk freely but said he might
have something to state after receiving
the Information he was seeking.

lie was unable to give the information
as 10 character Of the money his father
had on his person when he left home, but
MT wilson made statement OF some
interest.
The son says that while in Richmond
he called upon fortune teller, at the sug-
gesuon OF friend. To her he related the
history of his fathers disappearance.
While he was there her husband came
in and heard the conversation. He told
Mr.. Wilson he had seen his father near
the Exposition Grounds. The young man
became interested and asked the stranger
10 describe his father He says the for
tune teller's husband gave most ac-
curate description OF his father which
so greatly impressed him he spent some
time searching for the missing man I'm
the neighbOrhOOd OF the auditorium
building. No trace of the farmer was
found.
HE Is PUZZLED.
Young Wilson admits that he IS puz-
zled about what the husband Of tho for
tune-teiler told him. In fact, the descrip
ton was so accurate he does not see how
the man could have been mistaken The
newspapers had not printed n description
Of Mr.. Wilson. md the on kinks P e corl

believes his father was seen by the man.
Mr. Wilson IS believed 20 be alive The
man who called az the Governor office
probably knows something about this
case. The farmer. while on spree may
have gambled away his money, and does
not feel Ike returning home. II Is gem
orally believed that he Is now in Rich
