1 Victoria, B. C., October 13.-The steamer Empress of Japan, which arrived this evening from Yokohama, brought news that the crisis was approaching climax when she left on October 2
 Japanese papers have three columns fill- ed with report of imminent war and some are so irresponsible that the Japanese war office on September 30 summoned repre- sentatives of all Japanese newspapers and news agencies, and warned them to be more discreet. The war department offi- cials say that these reports, telegraphed abroad, exaggerate Japans stand into a belicose position, while the truth is Japan is not seeking war, but recognizes that it may be forced on her. and she Is pre- pairing accordingly.

1t is more than likely that those
who pocketed the money raised to test
the suffrage clause Of the new Consti-
tuition Of Virginia, are more inter
ested in the controversy than those
who have contributed the money
from their small earnings. The
masses OF the colored people are very
little concerned about the matter,
but agents are sent out to work up
the feeling and take up collections
and in this way the money is finding
its way into the pockets OF these

DEMOCRACY,s TRIBuLATIONS.

Fortunately for the Democratic
party, which always seems to have
several load-stones hanging to its
neck in the shape of burdens such as
VIM. Jennings Bryan, Tom l.. John
son, George Fred Williams, Benz.
Tillman, ct al, the great State -
Ohio has never yet played very II
portant part in the calculations oil
Democracy's campaign managers
having always been readily conced-
ed to the Republican party, and es-
pecially has this been true OF late
years or since the State organization
has been 10 the hands OIL ohnson and
Lentz. Notwithstanding this fact,
however, it is particularly uniortu-
nate at this time that a declaration
of adherence to the Kansas City
platform and especially to the imam
bal heresy contained in that doeu-
ment should emanate from an ONO
State Convention, and yet the disap-
pointment is somewhat modified by
the fact that no one expected any
thing else. 1t was apparent all along
that Johnson would control the con-
vention and its declaration OF prln-
ciples, and the expectation has been
carried out to the letter. We See
johnson the nominee OF the party
for Governor, with factional tight
on his hands and a platform twice
repudiated by the people OF tins
country, including those OF Ohio,
and. worse still, the same man
controls the State Committee and
the committee in turn is hand and
glove with Mr.. Bryan, OF Nebraska,
in the latter's determination to thrust
down the throat OF thenex National
Convention a declaration OF princi-
pies suicidal to the best interests oil
the party. johnson is just as sure
OF defeat in the State OF Ohio as the
sun is sure to rise in the morning,
and for the sake Of regenerated Dem
ocracy we can do no more than hope
that the defeat may be crushing
one. Such result would assuredly
help the Democrats more than 1t
would their enemies, the Republicans,
since johnson and the other Bryan
ties stand more in the way OF Demo-
cratic success than does the entire
Republican party. The party then
can wish for no better luck than
Johnson's complete overthrow.

STRIKERS STRUCK.

Something OF a double strike in
three OF the restaurants OF Chicago
occurred Monday with most happy
results. and a splendid example was
furnished for dealing with meddle-
some men in other places. A strike
is on in nearly every restaurant in
the city and more than five thous'
and persons are out of employment
and are trying to get those out who
are at work and satisfied with their
work and wages. Three large res
taurants are in fuIl service, with
union members. These idle strikers
determined to put them on strike
and sent their committee to order
them out. The employees refused to
obey and real knock-down occur
red. in which the committee was bad
ly used up and put to flight.
What the final outcome OF the mat
ter will be is yet to be seen, but the

fitted the committee Of the strikers.
